Chuck D stops by Third Encore

As Linkin Park gears up for the next month of promotion around the world, they had a special guest drop by to say hello today... none other than Chuck D from Public Enemy and Prophets of Rage!

Joe's DJ tech Warren posted this picture with Chuck today:

It's unlikely Chuck D performed anything, but just stopped in to greet the crew (and possibly the band).

Chuck's only involvement with Linkin Park was during the A Thousand Suns era. Las Vegas/Phoenix-based duo HavocNdeeD remixed Wretches And Kings, releasing it in 2010, but came back in mid-2011 to release a new version of it...with a verse from Chuck D on it. Mike at the time said, “Their remix of ‘Wretches And Kings’ came out incredible...the bridge section is massive!" It is definitely one of the best ATS-era remixes.

That may be one of the filthiest remixes in Linkin Park's career, jesus. Imagine them playing this live, holy shit!

That indeed is one of the best LP remixes out there. Middle fucking explodes. I've had it on my iPod/in my iTunes since 2010. They really should play Wretches again. As much bullshit as we give them about A Place For My Head, Reading My Eyes, etc....Wretches is a super underrated song and was fun as hell live.

I second this. ATS was such a fun album as a whole to hear play it live. One of my personal favorite cicles.

What if their next album is a full blown hiphop album with legends like chuck D, or Cypress Hill.

I forgot how good that remix was. I hadn't heard it in years.
