"We're Famous But We're Not Celebrities" Interview Options

[Hahninator]

LinkinMark has alerted me to a great interview with Mike and Chester from a London hotel, talking about "A Thousand Suns", the Moscow show and more. We usually don't post band interviews here but I liked this one a lot and I will post good ones, so here's this one conducted recently.

"But we aren't a manufacturer. We are artists, and we've gone philosophically back to where we were writing music before we sold a record. When we were excited about a song, not because … "

Rapper and multi-instrumentalist Mike Shinoda butts in: " … This is going to be a hit!""

Check out the full interview here.

I dunno. Brad has the build of a pot smoker. Dresses like one too.

It's a shame interviews like this probably go unnoticed to people who aren't hardcore fans. It would probably change their perspective on LP's change in direction. Too many people call it selling out, which is pretty ignorant of them.
