Road To Revolution review
posted by Jas, 11/27/08 | share
A review of Road To Revolution
'Leave Out All The Rest' is performed well live with Chester Bennington's vocals being almost tuned to perfection throught the entire track, which is something difficult to do live. Although, after seeing Linkin Park live at Download in 2007, I know just how outstanding they are. Overall 'Road to Revolution' is exactly what I would expect from Linkin Park, who, when I saw them, provided one of the best live gigs I have ever been to, and I am sure that other people would agree with that. Full review.
Hidden content in Road To Revolution DVD

Read a blogger's review of the Road To Revolution DVD/CD
After watching the dvd entirely and letting the credits roll, a menu came up saying, "Thanks for watching. You have unlocked new content!" Three more songs - Somewhere I Belong, Papercut (arguably my #1 LP song), and Points of Authority. It's like Sam Jackson appearing as Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man. Pretty sweet.
Linkin Park looking forward to Thanksgiving at home
posted by Jas, 11/26/08 | share
Rob talks about Linkin Park celebrating Thanksgiving in Japan last year.
With Thanksgiving coming up on Thursday (November 27th), the members of Linkin Park say they're thankful just to be home for the holiday. Last year at this time, the band was on the road and drummer Rob Bourdon told us he's glad the situation is different this time: "We're excited to be home to see our families and hang out with friends and all that, 'cause last Thanksgiving we were in Japan. Our agent had booked a show and we ended up having Thanksgiving at Roy's in Japan, and the chefs there were kind enough to kind of throw together the best version of Thanksgiving dinner that they could. Some of the stuff they nailed, but some of the stuff was just not quite what you get at home."

Road To Revolution review
posted by Jas, 11/25/08 | share
A nice review of Road To Revolution DVD/CD
Road to Revolution is a live record packs the punch of a Linkin Park show, without the stench and sweat. On an eight-minute jam for "Bleed It Out" all hell breaks loose, and the song illuminates everything great about Linkin Park. Cranked up, these songs kill. Linkin Park deserve to continue their reign on the road and the charts. Full review
Linkin Park Surpasses 4 Million On iLike
posted by Jas, 11/25/08 | share
Linkin Park became the first group to surpass 4,000,000 fans on iLike, here's a message from Mike.
Most of you probably already know iLike, the music-based social network, from your experiences on Facebook. Over the weekend, Linkin Park became the first group to surpass 4,000,000 fans on iLike. This is the largest number of fans that have gathered together in support of one artist on a single social platform. Earlier this year, our Linkin Park widget (seen at the bottom of my main blog page) crossed the "100 Million Views" threshold. Now, with the success on iLike, I wanted to take another second to say "thank you" to all of you that support the band and enjoy the music. My band and the people at iLike are thrilled about this amazing achievement. We will be hopefully announcing a special event to celebrate. Stay tuned!Thanks,
mike

Chester's back injury update

Mike has posted a short update on his blog about Chester who is recovering well from his back injury
Chester's back is recovering well. He is still scheduled for regular visits to the doctor, but he's able to go about most of his daily routine. He had a scare the other day when he was recording a vocal; in the middle of a take, his back seized up. he thought he might need to go back to the hospital, but after some rest and doctor's advice, it relaxed again. Things are looking good. Thanks for your support!
New Linkin Park album in 2009
posted by Jas, 11/10/08 | share
Mike has updated his blog with news about the new Linkin Park album to be released next year, there's also a picture of Chester in his studio.
We're working on the new Linkin Park album right now. Will we have a new album out in 2009? Absolutely! And, of course, by "Absolutely," I mean, "Absolutely, as long as things go smoothly and the ideas are flowing, and we don't hit any scheduling problems or massive writers block." Jokes aside, the pic below is from my studio; Chester and I were listening to all the demos I've been writing in the past 6-12 months in busses, studios overseas, and my studio.When we're out on the road doing shows, I generally keep the music on a safe hard drive, in a format that you can't download onto your iPod (gotta be careful). I also don't like playing stuff for anyone unless I feel like I've given it a proper amount of love. That means I go for months where I write stuff and don't really play it for anyone.
This week, we went through about 35 new demos, most of which had only had my hands on them thus far. The process is a little scary; it's like saying, "here are the songs that I think should make up our next album." Luckily, nobody hates the songs (at least most of them!), and we're looking forward to getting started on this album in the coming months. I just did an insightful interview with a gentleman named Mikael Wood for a piece in an upcoming issue of Revolver magazine. Check for it in the coming months, I think it was an '09 music preview article.

Glorious Excess (Dies) postponed
posted by Jas, 11/06/08 | share
Mike has updated his blog saying that his second installment of Glorious Excess art show has been tentatively postponed till late 2009.
Hey everyone,
It looks like my second JANM art show, Glorious Excess (Dies), which was scheduled for January, is going to be postponed. Although I would have liked to hold the show in January, unforeseen scheduling complications have made that goal an impossibility. I apologize to anyone who this change of plans may affect negatively; I wish it were that case that I could make it happen. In the January slot, Clement and I are trying to organize an alternative show. This show will be a collection of other artists' work, likely curated by me and Joe Hahn. I hope to open the Glorious Excess (Dies) show in late 2009.Thanks for your understanding,mike

Mike's Halloween memories
posted by Jas, 11/02/08 | share
Mike talks about one of his Halloween memories.
Linkin Park usually spend their Halloween at a party at Mike Shinoda's house. Unfortunately, this year the band are so busy working on a new record, Shinoda says he didn't have time to plan a party. But looking back on past years, his favorite memory was Joe Hahn and three friends dressing as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, U.S. President George W. Bust, and a pair of nuclear missiles. But Shinoda says Hahn didn't leave it at that -- quote, "As the night wore on, "we started finding like Kim (Jong Il) posters around the house. He was literally putting propaganda up in my house."
