Mesck547 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Wow. Can't believe this is actually happening. Super excited for this! If there is new FM material to come, it definitley seems like Mike's doing it without SOB this time. Edited June 19, 2015 by Mesck547 Quote
Mohnjorrow Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I am so freaking excited, Imagine a tour with Linkin Park and Fort Minor? Or what if Mike is going to include Chester in Fort Minor this time around? So may possibilities? Quote
GlassCastles Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Or what if Mike is going to include Chester in Fort Minor this time around? So may possibilities? The closest we'll get to that is if Mike does Where'd You Go again, and needs Chester for Holly's part. Quote
hahninator Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I think we will see a new song plus some old stuff.I think Skylar Grey will be there.It looks like she has a lot of free time nowadays New song for sure. I sure hope not on Skylar. It's way too early to even discuss guests because we don't even know if it's Mike by himself, or Mike + guests, or what. You'd think that if he had guests, they'd have leaked something in an interview at some point. Rappers are really bad at leaking stuff. Skylar is the definition of "sellout" to me; I know others feel differently but I am not a fan at all when she changed from Holly Brook. Her music as Holly was truly great (a lot of the non album stuff was A+ too)...especially O Dark Thirty EP. why should they play more than one song? O.o How many do they usually play on Conan? I guess just one. FYI with Ryu saying he's not involved that pretty much means no SOB at all. We all know Tak won't be involved after he shit talked FM pretty badly. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/shjdz/ama_request_mike_shinoda/ Quote
Kirstie Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Looks like it might be new artwork announced today. https://twitter.com/mikeshinoda/status/611968806945206272 Edited June 19, 2015 by Kirstie Quote
RogueSoul Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I hope Mike's rapping on this new Fort Minor material is better than what he's been doing with LP lately. If it's on the same level, then I'm more than likely going to be disappointed from a vocal stand point. I'm sure the instrumentals will be great, though. Mike's put out some of the best verses he's done on ATS, Recharged and THP. The fuck are you talking about? Quote
Coizu Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Looks like it might be new artwork announced today. https://twitter.com/mikeshinoda/status/611968806945206272 Wouldn't be surprised if he comes out and says he won't call it Fort Minor anymore and just go with Mike Shinoda or something like that. All the Fort Minor stuff was maybe just for gaining some attention again and for recognition. Quote

All the Fort Minor stuff was maybe just for gaining some attention again and for recognition. I highly doubt that as he took the time to make the FM social media accounts. It'd be just silly if he did it as something else. He's clearly trolling with the latest post. Quote

He's clearly trolling with the latest post. He could have created them to get the attention there and create some hype. Then just rename them or merge them together with his regular social media accounts Quote
Numbrocker Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Mike is Fort Minor. He doesn't need to change the name. But wow unless something like Tak happened with Ryu, then I feel bad for him. Maybe Mike got the opportunity and just went with it. To me it seems really sudden that there's a show in the middle of the LP stuff. I honestly thought he'd wait till September, like when Chester is doing STP. Regardless, it's very exciting. Definitely watching Conan on Monday. Quote
Skipees Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if he comes out and says he won't call it Fort Minor anymore and just go with Mike Shinoda or something like that. All the Fort Minor stuff was maybe just for gaining some attention again and for recognition. In my opinion he just want to refresh the brand, change the logo etc.. He's just using it for hype and promotion. Quote

mt2oo8 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I've got a little theory. Fort Minor posted on Instagram earlier "Hello @m_shinoda" with a spraypainted "HELLO" then Mike posted on Instagram "Go away @fortminor" with the FM logo being crossed out. Could this whole Hello / Go Away thing be related to new Fort Minor music? I guess we may find out on Monday. All aboard the hype train! Quote
Numbrocker Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I was so busy posting I didn't actual notice the logo just had a big X over it haha. Hmm from a marketing perspective it would be silly to throw away that brand recognition. But maybe he will announce a new name on Conan, but for now he's being billed as Fort Minor. Quote
Mesck547 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I think the "go away Fort Minor" thing is Mike's way of saying he's gonna do things by himself this time. The fact that we know SOB is probably not involved adds even more sense. Or he might just be trolling. Guess we'll have to wait until Monday. Quote
mt2oo8 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Oh and I see a lot of people taking Ryu's lated tweet seriously "I'm not performing on Conan June 22nd. Not sure who "Fort Minor " is?" I'm 100% sure he's just messing with people too. Ryu and Mike have been together a lot recently, if you see Ryu's Instagram too. I'm definitely sure Ryu will be at Conan too Quote
hahninator Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I think he's quoted FM because he doesn't know who exactly is in it. Quote

I'm definitely sure Ryu will be at Conan too Surprised it took me this long to find someone mentioning this. You guys know how it goes every promo cycle, Mike just fucks with everyone because it gets people talking. Highly highly doubt he's getting rid of the Fort Minor brand. Stop over thinking it guys Quote

LinkinMark Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I'm not buying what Ryu is saying...This is all so exciting! Also THP didn't have verses anywhere near to Mike's best. Hopefully he'll just let loose on this new stuff. Quote
GlassCastles Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Mike's put out some of the best verses he's done on ATS, Recharged and THP. The fuck are you talking about? ATS yes. RECHARGED, the STB one was good, but IBG wasn't all that great. THP, are you kidding me? Quote
