@@kevankenney422 When you mentioned the reversed folk guitar loop on 'Somewehere I Belong' I knew this would be my favorite Meteora '20 interview. Nailed it!
That was one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Mike. The questions were interesting and original, and you could tell that the interviewer really knew his shit… going into detail is always more interesting than the bland, typical questions. He probably grew up with LP, watching the Meteora Making Of countless times, just like me
This is THE BEST interview with Mike. Going really deep on the songwriting and the production aspects. Actually talking about the writing process, no filler questions. The interviewer definitely did his homework. I respect that a ton!
You can totally see how different the overall vibe is in an interview when the interviewer knows his shit and goes deeper into the subject matter, avoiding the usual boring repetitive questions. You can see how animated and into this interview Mike was compared to others (minus when Striker is involved).
I gotta say this is the best interview i’ve ever seen. Seriously. This guy seriously knows his stuff and he is asking really great questions and I’m genuinely interested in hearing the answers. Bravo 👏🏼
This interview had depth. And wasn’t only focused on one thing or one person and you can see Mike is feeling these questions. TRULY WELL DONE! GREAT INTERVIEW! ❤LP
everyone here has already said it, but i feel the need to share the love: i first heard LP when Crawling was on the radio back in 2000 and dude, this is the best interview i've ever seen with Mike. he usually seems bored in interviews (even with peeps like KROQ) but this was the first one i've seen in over a decade where he's engaged and seemed to really enjoy the conversation. awesome analysis, great questions, and Kevan is clearly an LP soldier. mad respect for this one, man. i'm late to the party, but dang was it worth it. cheers. 🤘🖤
I totally loved how open and enthusiastic the interview was! Great work, it was a treat to listen to! and Mike is just such an artist in not just music but also imagery, he's the best.

Man, I feel like at least in the 21st-century LINKIN Park was the last big rock band that everybody actually cared about. they are really talented all six of them. it’s unfortunate that they unintentionally created LINKIN Park clones. also it’s unfortunate that we lost Chester as well, he was really talented. no matter how many new metal singers come along, they’ll never be able to match the contributions that Mike and Chester made to rock music
As much as I miss Chester, his legacy will be remembered for the years to come and we must cherish his music and lyrics. Whichever direction the boys in Linkin Park decide to go in the near or far future I'll support their decision as a longtime fan.
Love you Mike, thank you for being there during my rough times, even if you never knew it. Thanks for being so caring, sweet, and very open and a lovable guy. LP forever❤️❤️❤️ Sending my thanks From Minnesota.
Crazy that at this point 1 year ago Mike and the band had this HUGE secret they were just holding in lol 😆 they were already making music again and the new era LP was back.
It seems a lot of LP fans don’t realize that Chester didn’t write a lot of lyrics… yet so many people say “Chester was calling for help and telling us something is wrong!” for years and we didn’t listen. No. Chester didn’t even write a lot of the lyrics… he just sang them and gave them weight and emotion (which is very powerful obviously), but idk why people keep acting like all the lyrics were Chester telling everyone he was suicidal and depressed.
Mike said alot of the lyrics came from stories chester would tell him and they all added flavor to the songs. Mike wrote Breaking the Habit , but when chester read the lyrics he starred crying , he said it was describing the way he felt about himself . they both were amazing artists in their own right .
Мы в России очень сильно любим Linkin park. Вы настоящие народные артисты для нас. Спасибо что вы есть и вы творите. Новый альбом как глоток свежего воздуха для ВСЕХ. Поздравляю с платиновым очередным статусом🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Mike is a very wise person. Perfectly m'a ching artistic inspiration and wise analysis. Moreover, he was surely very emphatic with Chester, and intuitive. Rare man.
Only one question every day appears in my mind: why such geniuos things like "Lost" & "Fighting myself" we can hear only 20 years after? These hits could be in first "Meteora", while Chester was alive, being among us. Still missing Chester. Its real tragedy for music world.
Well they actually talked about this in another interview Lost was a song that they created during their Meteora era but because 1. they couldn't figure out where to place it in the album and 2. it was too similar to Numb so they decided not to add it and instead let numb have its moment. Years past and they just completely forgot they had the song until recently that they unearthed it, which seems so poetic considering.
I love Linkin Park so much and admit I couldnt ever qualify to be their biggest fan. My love though for the integration of electronic music and alternative rock that Linkin Park did seamlessly with hip hop elements would be hard to surpass. This is such a great interview, I couldnt stop crying because I really would like some more Linkin Park to be creating more music I fucking love. Mike Shinoda is fucking great. Ok. Im done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is something's I do not like in this interview and it is not Mike Shinoda. It is the host you do not tont puff like his stories are boring it is very Disrespectful and irritating I have conversate with people like this it jealousy he just jealous that Linkin Park is a amazing band and that his friendship chester is very close so if he is burning to here then you need to find another Rock Band to interview cause it seems Like Shinoda talking about his band is not for you. You need to repair your gesture and quit being intimadated.
That Interviewer really knew his stuff.
Thnx dawg
He either really did his research prior to the interview or he’s a long time fan of the band.
@@K_Rich_1983 he said he was a long time fan of the band, they really picked the right guy for the job

For sure did
Mike looks so happy with this interview.
He is completely in his comfort zone, which is awesome to see
It's like Mike's not aging lol felt almost like two young men talking to each other.❤
There not old tho
The fact of his being half japanese explains it
Mike's in his mid 40s, he's not like 70 lol
@@tareklarine5260 yep. Absolutely. The answer is in his blood. Literally)
@@tATuCentral right. But sometimes I see 20 y.o girls looking like they're already in their mid 40s ahah

Asking the REAL, In-depth questions the fans wanna know.

Mike Shinoda is a genius, i would to like to be in his head for a few seconds, his mind must be a beautiful chaos...
Organized chaos, I imagine

We love our LINKIN PARK ❤️, we love Mike! We will always love Chester....
He is ageless ❤
Thank you to the interviewer for asking great questions, digging a little bit more for the fans. One of the best talks to Mike out there imho.
I just love Mike Shinoda so so much ❤ he is so strong and has made such amazing music . Rest In paradise Chester Bennington ❤❤
More of this please. Serious quality questions with engaged answers from the artist!
This interview had depth. And wasn’t only focused on one thing or one person and you can see Mike is feeling these questions. TRULY WELL DONE! GREAT INTERVIEW! ❤LP

The only 'clone' that sounds remotely close to them is Bring Me The Horizon. Nothing else sounds anything like them
As much as I miss Chester, his legacy will be remembered for the years to come and we must cherish his music and lyrics. Whichever direction the boys in Linkin Park decide to go in the near or far future I'll support their decision as a longtime fan.
GREAT interview! Shinoda's the GOAT, no question.
Glad u dug it Nick
Mike is the kindest person. I like him a lot for how he can speak never lost for words.
Thank you for inviting Mike!!
AMAZING INTERVIEW 👏
Glad u dug it
Mike Shinoda is the best 👏 and I was bored only with one question! This interviewer had great questions 🖒 Thanks for sharing.

Great question! one of the best interviews i ever watch about music
I don’t normally watch interviews but I have zero regrets clicking on this one. really great questions and it didn’t feel weird and uncomfortable lol.
LP 4 Ever ❤️🎸🤟
Great interview!
Thanks for watching
#LPFOREVER 💙💙🎸🎸
RUclips didn’t launch until February 2005 and it didn’t catch on until years later. Linkin Park were far ahead of their time.
Can't belive we nearly missed out on the final version of breaking the habbit 😮
We gotta thank Joe for telling Mike that it needed vocals.
Out of all the interviewers for this Meteora 20th anniversary, this is the *ONLY GUY* who knew what he was asking/ talking about
Ha! Had to hold it down 💪

I got on here just to tell you guys, Healing Foot never gets talked about and it's better than Lost, IMO. Go listen to it if you haven't heard
Mike is 🔥
Great job Bro 👍🏼

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
00:00 I don't know why.
Lol
Roberto Mtz could be a very special podcast with Mike here in Mexico! Please amanzon make it possible!°
Why did it end :(
Mike keeps misremembering RUclips being a new thing when Meteora came out. RUclips happened two years after the album released.
Wait. Wakefield did film "work in progress"?
Alguém legenda plis 😢
you mean like everybody ever
why tf is audio not setup properly. put some respek on shinodas name
Can you make a song of a pain I faced? I have the sad lyrics written down. It’s from blackpink parasiting off of me since 2019.
I wish someone would ask him if John Podesta was really Chester's dad. They really do look a like.
5:30 Me wanting to hear all of the joke songs 😩
Nobody's listening. Is Mike's best Linkn park track
Mike, do a song with arcane 2 with a guy like chesters voice . Make a comeback.
"Mike you flipped a sample backwards how did you come up with that in 2001 2002?!". Lol the whites
We love you so much our Linkin Park ❤️! With great respect and love from Ukraine 🇺🇦❤️🇺🇲🤘

I wonder what song was inspired by Depeche Mode
Can we have Manny Marroquin mix all of Meteora now?? 😂🔥🔥
Did Mike said you tube was not big in 2003 lol
I don't think he did it.
