"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.

""When you come out of the gate with a record like Hybrid Theory, from a business point of view it's really dumb not to keep on doing that," Bennington says, all smiles, his big, black earrings and tattooed arms the only visual signs of his nu-metal past. "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.

What do you think?

Great interview, but... "That didn't help build bonds with the rest of the band – who were more into pot and booze, and had no idea their frontman would be sitting on the tour bus tripping."

I was unaware that the other members of the band smoked pot

Is this some kind of mistake because seriously I didn't think they were the type.

Chester actually says here that the band didn't smoke. XP http://www.lptimes.com/news2008/jan/kerrang_jan2008_09.jpg

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't work for some reason.
