Linkin Park’s Projekt Revolution Tour rolls into Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Thursday, and we’re still regretting it’ll do so minus Busta Rhymes, making the show free of a hip-hop act.

When the initial lineup was announced with Linkin Park, Chris Cornell, the Bravery, Ashes Divide and Atreyu, some were critical of the lack of hip-hop, and Rhymes was added.

But after less than two weeks with the tour, Rhymes was out, either after an altercation with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda or because of a “complicated business matter.”

What the tour lacks in hip-hop, it makes up for in a day of blistering rock culminating in Linkin Park.

Here’s the set list from an Aug. 10 concert in Irvine, Calif.
