Why does it have to be forced.? Why must everything be so drastic. U give a women a compliment now "ur harrrasing her" do u not see the ironi in this? How can u not care enough about ur father to not ask him what he does for a living. That to me screams out being self absorbed @wtfduud
I met Mike Shinoda back in 2019 at an Emo Nite in LA. He was part of a DJ set with The Hundreds. I was up on the stage during their set and I was the only person from the crowd to realize who he was. He caught me taking pics of him. He smiled right at me and soon after asked if I wanted a picture with him. I handed my phone to my friend and we took a few photos together. I told him how much his music meant to me growing up and I was there at the Chester Bennington memorial at the Hollywood bowl. He was really excited to hear me talk about how passionate I was about Linkin park. Soon after everyone else realized who he was and lined up for pictures. He was incredibly humble and happy to meet each one of his fans.
@@susantam5681 I can’t help but tear up every time I think of Chester. Me + my son used to listen to + talk about Linkin Park’s music when he was a teen. They’ll always remind me of that precious time.
@@LLynneM I've never seen anyone use the + sign like that before lmao. How much more efficient is it or are you like, doing it for stylistic purposes?
I mean it can happen I never knew what my dad did gor work until I was a teenager 😂 I just knew he wore a hi vis shirt and left the house before the sunrise
“How does he do it”, you’re asking ? Well I tell you how he does it … “Ridiculous, without even trying … This is ten percent luck Twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will Five percent pleasure Fifty percent pain And a hundred percent reason to remember the name”
Mike once said in an interview that "One step closer" was actually directed by Gregory Dark who prior to doing music videos was a porn movie director 😂😂😂
The fact that she DOESNT know how big of a deal he and the band are is actually a really good thing. It’s keeping her out of the spotlight and keeping her more grounded. Great parenting.
That's the right way to raise your kids, keep them out of the fame and limelight, and teach them so that when the time comes its just another day, and there is no ego involved
Glad to see there are people composed of IQs above room temperature who also understand that Mike should’ve just dropped it and made another side gig. Linkin Park without Chester is not the same band. It screams “cash grab”.
I guess they didn't talk much about the band for several years after lead singer passed, but didn't she wonder what are all these gold records and grammys around the house.
I don’t know if you know who Marshall Yanda is (played for the Ravens, he’s a hall of famer) but I don’t work in his house for his heating and a/c. All the trophies, rings and jerseys…. In a closet in the the basement. Big part of his life but now his life is his family. He has two younger boys that love to ice fish their pond
And a few years later she's like "Hey dad, I found this really cool classic band from way back, they are so awesome!". Mike: "Oh cool, what's their name?" Daughter: "Ah, it's Licking Sparks or something like that, did you ever heard of them?"
I don't know but I'm guessing that his daughter was younger when Chester was still alive, and LP was doing most of it's touring. Depending on the age of his daughter, she may have matured during the phase that the band was not touring or making new music, which is 7 years ago now. I would also imagine it was too painful to talk about. That would explain how she doesn't know.
I was 10 maybe and my dad got him self a guitar and wanted to learn to play, and I was so excited to watch him play to find out he couldn’t because he cut the tips off of his ring and middle fingers. I decided to start practicing guitar that summer and eventually I got decent enough that he could recognize the song I was playing! Fast forward to 16, I found a music man guitar an offspring series and it had a super wide neck, I gave it to my dad and he was more comfortable with it, he could play power chords and just keep rhythm, still one of the coolest memories. He was never a good musician just artist who wanted to bond with his step son.
That’s such a beautiful memory-it’s amazing how music became a way for you and your dad to connect despite the challenges he faced. That Music Man guitar sounds like it was the perfect fit for him-what a gift! 😊
The guitarist from Black Sabbath had the same issue with his fingers, due to an injury that befell him on his last day at work, before he went full-time with his band - he made himself some prosthetic fingertips to get around the issue and tuned down a bit, too, I think...
Thats the sign of a good dad. Not pushing his kid to follow in his footsteps or live up to anything and letting them find themselves their passion and supporting them.❤
I’m reading all the comments and most like how great he was able to stay humble and stay low key…it’s great and I love it. ❤️ However, this is my take…many kids nowadays would rather listen to someone else (like on social media) than their own parents or love ones who have their best interest in mind. I’m turning 58, my time as a child was any advise/lesson that came from my elders (mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandparents) is golden and priceless.
Mike and Chester had an amazing sound together. The mix of rock and hip-hop is what made me a fan of Linkin Park, forever. Meteora is my favorite album, hands down.
I'm kinda in the same boat. I run and promote some shows, and I book dozens of music, TV, and voiceover guests every year... but to my nieces and nephews, I'm just the cool, dorky uncle. 😅
That to me means him and his wife did a killer job raising there girl. She got to just grow up with dad being dad not somebody special other then the special person dad is to her not what he is to others. Great job man
Awesome dad! I'm not letting her know about the fame making a child feel like it has to grow up and fill some shoes that were never meant for that child , that child will have their own shoes naturally and it may be the same artwork other children of other celebrities and artists have grown up depressed feeling like they should be doing the same thing their parent is , you can tell he's really mindful of how he's raising his daughter. Let her grow up to be what she is meant to be 💙
Awesome story. Perspective is everything. (I guess to her young mind, she just figured her parents liked hanging gold records on the walls everywhere & keeping oddly shaped nick nacks around on the fireplace mantle..). 😂
I love this on so many levels....your a great family is my most favourite.... the fact you keeped your kids protected is so amazing..now teach that kid to play dad😂😂❤❤

What a good father. Obviously he raised his daughter to see him as her dad and that’s who he is to her. Bravo!
I don't really think so...can you imagine being old enough to perform at school and not know anything about your father and his life?
Considering the lyrics of Numb, yeah he probably doesn't care about forcing his identity on them.
Well done mom and dad, don’t be like Hollywood. Blue Ivey..
I was thinking the same thing. ❤
Why does it have to be forced.?
Why must everything be so drastic.

Clearly shows that Mike spends time with family and keeps business and family separate. How does he do that😂
Yeah he spends so much time with them that they don't even know what he does. Or even which industry he's a part of.
I mean it can happen
I never knew what my dad did gor work until I was a teenager 😂 I just knew he wore a hi vis shirt and left the house before the sunrise
or the band has basically been apart since she was a young girl due to chester dying so she never knew anything
Maybe like eminem things , work-life balance
“How does he do it”, you’re asking ?
Well I tell you how he does it …
“Ridiculous, without even trying …
This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name”
Man's so humble his kids don't know he's part of the biggest band of the 21st century
But what did his daughter think he did?
I didn't know Mike was part of Metallica!
Biggest band??? Please lol
@razersedge2k974I need to check that out. Sounds interesting!
He tried so hard and got so far. But in the end it didn’t even matter… to his daughter 😂
Mike is trying hiding his cool red hair phase from his daughter, so factly 😂
Mike once said in an interview that "One step closer" was actually directed by Gregory Dark who prior to doing music videos was a porn movie director 😂😂😂
@Un0rdin4rYPr0gr4mmeR yeah, and i was laughed about that and unexpected 🤣
@@Un0rdin4rYPr0gr4mmeRfunny when you realize that Michael Bay started in the same profession.

Totally agree! 💯
Still that very hard hide considering how big and known linkin park is
I love how humble they live and seem to raise their children.
they are just people like you and me.
That's the right way to raise your kids, keep them out of the fame and limelight, and teach them so that when the time comes its just another day, and there is no ego involved

This is when Mike decided he needs to bring back LP
This was the Jimmy gallon show where they performed
@@Slyone71787 if he is sitting there we know to who sold his soul
Too bad they brought Scientology into LP now.
No LP without Chester
Glad to see there are people composed of IQs above room temperature who also understand that Mike should’ve just dropped it and made another side gig.
Linkin Park without Chester is not the same band.
It screams “cash grab”.
So cool that he lets them grow up normally and live regular lives.
"Mom, look at that video ! this guy rappin with red hair looks like Dad !!"
😂😂😂
Well dear…
He once said this:
You ready?! Let's go!
This is ten percent luck
He's the Mike Shinoida to us but for her he's just his Dad.
And she's probably embarrassed of him 😂
*her dad*
😂😂😂😂😂
atleast get his name right dude
😂😂😂😂😂❤ The realization of a kid that their parent(s) were once considered cool.
I guess they didn't talk much about the band for several years after lead singer passed, but didn't she wonder what are all these gold records and grammys around the house.
eh. He probably has them in a dusty box in the shed in the backyard.
@@dasturschloss8679thinking it’s in a studio somewhere but he probably doesn’t have one in his house
Or he just not keep them on the walls
Lead singer = Chester Bennington.
I don’t know if you know who Marshall Yanda is (played for the Ravens, he’s a hall of famer) but I don’t work in his house for his heating and a/c. All the trophies, rings and jerseys….

And a few years later she's like
"Hey dad, I found this really cool classic band from way back, they are so awesome!".
Mike: "Oh cool, what's their name?"
Daughter: "Ah, it's Licking Sparks or something like that, did you ever heard of them?"
Licking Sparks 😭
Licking Sparks would be an awesome band name! 🤣
I just wanna know you made me spit hot tea through my nose 🤣 lickin sparks for real would be an awesome band name 💀
I'd think it's more like 'dad....you're so lame naming your band after these really cool guys from 100 years ago'
Lmfao @ licking sparks😂😂
Met him 25 years ago when I was 13 before a show, he sat and cut up with my friends and I for a good 45 minutes, dude is aces
Wow that’s awesome 😊
Sign of a great dad is that he doesn’t brag about himself and how much he knows - even when he knows a lot ❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Love the innocence in children. Mike shinoda is a legend
❤️❤️❤️
Thats how you should raise them, she'll be down to earth later in life. Fair play
She never wondered where is daddy disappearing to for months on end.
I don't know but I'm guessing that his daughter was younger when Chester was still alive, and LP was doing most of it's touring. Depending on the age of his daughter, she may have matured during the phase that the band was not touring or making new music, which is 7 years ago now. I would also imagine it was too painful to talk about. That would explain how she doesn't know.
Props to the parents raising their children right. At least the girl won't be a snotty nosed brat thanks to this.
She sounds like a brat though, talking to her dad like that
Duuude I would brag in front of my kids all the time, Mike is way more humble than me 😂
🤣🤣🤣
So humbling, funny and amazing. Your dad rocks BIG TIME girl.
What a dad to have 😮. My dream is to one day meet the band I can live in hope 🙏 ❤️
Mike is an amazing musician and great human being. Always humble, always loving his art, a true artist.
Totally agree 😊
I was 10 maybe and my dad got him self a guitar and wanted to learn to play, and I was so excited to watch him play to find out he couldn’t because he cut the tips off of his ring and middle fingers. I decided to start practicing guitar that summer and eventually I got decent enough that he could recognize the song I was playing!

Hey, stop touching my heart. Great memory. Thanks for sharing
They raised her properly and kept her humble about his dame. Love it!
Damn Mike is so down to earth. Incredible to see him in the spotlight again!
No matter how cool you are, your daughter will always roll her eyes at you...
he must be the most humble guy to have never shared this about himself
"...you wouldn't even recognize me anymore. Not that you knew me back then but it all comes back to me in the end." 🎶🎶🎶🎙️🔥🔥🔥
This shows how humble her dad is..I'm a fan of your dad❤❤❤
Thats the sign of a good dad. Not pushing his kid to follow in his footsteps or live up to anything and letting them find themselves their passion and supporting them.❤

Brutal takedown from his kid 😂😂
😂😂😂

That's a good thing, she saw you as her father and not a rock star. You raised her right, 👍👍
So, what's mike's daughter thought about her dad's job? 😂
😂😂😂
It´s like being a secret agent. Maybe he had a "cover" job, like working at the post office or something.
she thought his dad just a streamer
Maybe a pilot, with all the traveling
Maybe thinks he’s just a producer or something like that not one of the actual artists
I love this story because it shows how successful they were in giving their kids normal lives.
Absolutely 💯❤️
No wonder that lady from the arcane failed to recognize mike 😆
LP will be in 40 years from now what bands like led Zeppelin, deep purple, etc are nowadays
"Who's that?.."
Mike probably on the other room/area of their house hearing them in the bedroom: *EXCUSE ME?!!*😂😂😂
Only his daughter can get away with that 3rd degree burn🤣
The female reporter, the Daughter, the list is on and on... No one knows Mike Shinoda 😂😂😂
lol 😂
Imagine being the daughter of Mike not realizing he's the co-founder and vocalist of one one of the best rock bands ever 😂
Totally, lol! 😂😂😂
Taking the parenting approach of keeping your kids grounded and humble, right way to go IMO.
❤️❤️❤️
mike took you wouldnt even recognize me anymore.. into another level😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂
That's a real parent right there. Both of them!😂
"Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore."
Lol 😂😂😂
He is so humble, I wouldn't recognized him right away either, what a great guy
POV: when Mike Shinoda is your Dad, but you don't know WHO IS Mike Shinoda
😂😂😂
I'm more surprised his daughter wouldn't have heard about his band through her friends/acquaintances.
Mike had another story that his son's friend asked him if his dad was the guy rapping on his Linkin Park playlist. 😂
it seems failing to recognize Mike Shinoda is something even his daughter couldn't escape
Ha I got that reference
That is the most relatable dad story!
❤️❤️❤️
That is so funny. “Who‘s that?” 😂
Lol 😂😂😂
that's the definition of a good Dad right there folks
couldn't blame that Ovilee May didn't know Mike. NOT EVEN HIS DAUGHTER.
😂😂😂
She can be really proud of you and i'm so proud and happy that we can actually enjoy seeing and hearing you do it again ❤
❤️❤️❤️
how do you not know your dad is Mike Shinoda!!!? I would never stop talking about that!!!
Mike and Chester had an amazing sound together. The mix of rock and hip-hop is what made me a fan of Linkin Park, forever. Meteora is my favorite album, hands down.
LP will forever be in my heart, even though I don't listen to them anymore. They are such a big part of my growing up.
Great parenting ❤
He's still so adorable ❤❤❤
Legit one of the most talented musicians of my generation but soo humble
Love Mike. What a guy, what a parent.
That has to be a very cool moment when your child realizes they have a very famous & pretty cool parent ❤!
That is one of the funniest stories I have heard :)
❤️❤️❤️
He grows his daughter in a good way. The fact is the best moment when she finally knows who he was
I'm kinda in the same boat. I run and promote some shows, and I book dozens of music, TV, and voiceover guests every year... but to my nieces and nephews, I'm just the cool, dorky uncle. 😅
Sounds like you have the coolest job ever! 😎
That sounds pretty cool man👌🏼
What a mom! Never told her daughter who her dad was. Food for thought.
Haha mini Shinoda keeping it real. 😂
I was in love with that man for 20 years 😅❤
Literally, the lyrics of "In the End" is becoming true, LoL
Lol 😂😂😂
RIP 💀
I so love this!!! Linkin Park will forever be an all-time favorite!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂 she’ll learn in time lol Goated
Brilliant, when you have 2 different personalities, the Rock Star and the Dad.
Brilliant.
dad by day, rockstar at night
Kids can humble a parent soooooo fast!😂😂😂
her daughter replied: i tried so hard but not so far in the end it doesn't even matter...so i'll put my trust in you...
That to me means him and his wife did a killer job raising there girl. She got to just grow up with dad being dad not somebody special other then the special person dad is to her not what he is to others. Great job man
And this is when the comeback arc begins.
Awesome dad!

Let her grow up to be what she is meant to be 💙
Absolutely 💯
I buckled at this ...poor Mike ...😂 Its awful being at the mercy of a child that knows more than you (NOT) !!!! So funny ..... Love ya Mike ❤
This is a good sign that even in his fame she knows him for being her father and not being away all the time as a rockstar.
Kids are funny, man! Gotta love them!
It doesn't matter who you are or what you mean to so many people. To them, you're just their dad. And that can mean just as much.
his daughter has same energy as one of that twitch host/interviewer 😂
Its the Mike Shinoda effect, even interviewers doesnt recognize him
What kid doesn't know what their dad does... Until their teenage years??
I did not know what exactly my dad did until I was like 14/15 because it was just to complex for me to understand
Her not knowing is actually a sign of amazing parenting.
I would love to have them ask her what she thought her dad did for a living 😂
😂😂😂
Imagine learning that you're Dad is a future Rock n Roll Hall of Fame level musician.
Awesome story. Perspective is everything. (I guess to her young mind, she just figured her parents liked hanging gold records on the walls everywhere & keeping oddly shaped nick nacks around on the fireplace mantle..). 😂
that's a great way to put it! 😂
Mike shenoda is the best man for me
He is just her Dad , as all of us are 😂
All of us are her dad??
She probably just thinks everybody’s dad has a whole professional music studio in the basement.
Lol! 😂😂😂
I love this on so many levels....your a great family is my most favourite.... the fact you keeped your kids protected is so amazing..now teach that kid to play dad😂😂❤❤
Makes me laugh every time I see it , BTW I have 3 daughters , I know where you are coming from , I'm not a rock star btw but a Dad 😂
