  • Mike Shinoda caught up with NME in London to talk about how new solo single 'Already Over', his move into gaming, chasing a sound rather than just special guest features, stepping out after years of co-writing and producing, playing live, his love for Sleep Token, revisiting the history of Linkin Park and 'Meteora', and new music still to come.

      Sleep token’s popularity still feels weird to me… they’re okay but I can’t listen to them constantly and the music production sounds very much like every other current band… with the exception that they mix rather strange genres together… but I guess Rn’b and heavy was done by Woe is me and Emarosa over 10 years ago

    Losing Chester was a big loss for the band, however I hope they find a way to continue making music. They all have lots of potential for a better 8th album and a great 1st concert in years.

    • @ArtDadDraws
      @ArtDadDraws 5 місяців тому +9

      Idk man, while I agree with the overall sentiment of your post, I think the Linkin Park era is over. I do think that Chester is irreplaceable-soley because every member truly mattered in the band. Maybe if the remaining members get together and do some *different* from LP.

    • @nogrecords
      @nogrecords 5 місяців тому

      ​@@ArtDadDrawsI tend to agree with YOU more than the OP. ..,However, I will say that the Chester (lol) from the LP tribute band HYBRID THEORY, has absolutely got what it takes to not only step in to help create another Linkin Park record, and another era of Linkin Park. He already tours as "Chester", so he knows all the songs to go on a giant LP tour with the guys. And if you haven't heard them yet, they are fantastic. I actually thought it WAS Linkin Park the whole time I was listening, until I heard them play LOST, & I had to stop what I was doing to look at my phone, like wait a damn second. I knew MIKE sounded weird to me and he keeps speaking in another language, but I just thought that it was a concert over seas (Im a dumb American 😂) and he's just fluent in another language. But then when I looked at my phone, I was like HOLY CRAP! It's not Linkin Park AT ALL!

    • @Lg_Lantern
      @Lg_Lantern 4 місяці тому

      The only way I feel like LP could live on is if they had a guest singer on each track of the album. Some relatively unknowns as well as well known singers. That way it could be a tribute to chester for each album they could release like that and a portion of the profits of each album would be donated to charities
