"Don't Stay" is the second track on Linkin Park's album Meteora. Mike and Brad's original guitar parts for this song had a raggae-style vibe. After numerous transformations (probably five or six different guitar variations), Brad developed the final recorded version. Under the working title "Sick" this song was one of the first tracks finished for Meteora... Notably, Joe recorded the opening scratch solo on the first take. It was performed on the tours for Meteora and Minutes To Midnight.
