bloodbath Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Wild guesses about this song being about LP never returning ever again in 3, 2, 1....

Trumtram Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 The idea of what became Linkin Park was always Mike's brainchild. In the beginning he needed all the elements for it to be filled by different persons because he couldn't play guitar or sing or drum. He wouldn't be the first "mastermind" behind a band's sound to go full on solo. It seems like he now has everything he needs unified in himself. Of course there is a lot of simplification in the above and it doesn't have to mean anything. But the hints so far with "new era" and Mike playing all the instruments in the preview clips could be a statement. We all hope for (more definitive) answers and I'm just curious what the way forward will be. Let's wait and see what the song is all about. I'm mildly excited for it.

Elaine Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Watch in real time as we witness one of the many potential reasons why Mike may not have been comfortable writing music for himself to sing recently.

It seems like he now has everything he needs unified in himself. In one of his snippets, he was very visibly drumming to the music. I know he was recently noting he wanted to learn, wouldn't be surprised if he got some help from Rob or some of the guys he was touring with in 2018. So overall, he can sing, rap, do the guitar, play the keys, sample/dj, mix/produce, and now he can drum. And I'm probably short ending that. He has the tools to do it all. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, and I wouldn't complain, either. It doesn't seem like the guys really want to continue. Rob is almost certainly a no, Brad seems on the fence, Joe is possible just because I know he's been up to stuff for a while now, and I think Dave wants to go on like Mike. It's messy, and hard to get the whole band together for another tour or anything.

I'd love to see him fully continue, and I SERIOUSLY hope this isn't just a single, and is just one of many songs for an album. With every album, there's usually a tour, and he's the very top of my list to see live.

Qwerty18 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Honestly, if Mike was going to pursue a career as a "Compose everything and hire touring musician", I'd stand behind it 100%. Sure, it would in all likelihood never come close to LP in term of popularity in the mainstream, but is that really important? He's not a nobody either, he has a solid fan base, and I'm sure he could easily sell out shows in a lot of medium-size venues. I mean, the guy is basically a multi-instrumentalist artist with a huge repertoire of styles and sounds. He's touched on tons of different musical styles : hip hop, pop, electronic, ambient, rock, metal, even movie soundtracks. He's been producing for a lot of people too. And he's been the main composer of one of the most successful rock bands of this century. In my opinion, he still has the potential to release fantastic albums/musical projects in the future. I'd sure like the band to return one day but... we all know how tricky this might get. And It'd be a pity if the "Linkin Park situation" was holding Mike from going all out for too long.

Does it have to be a "reveal"? It could just be about his feelings at a certain time. It could be about a few months ago, a conversation when working on Looking For An Answer years ago, etc. Saying this is some kind of reveal is like saying that "Can't hear you now" is an official press release saying he's only gonna have good days from now on I know convos around the future of LP get tiring, but I don't think it's unreasonable to speculate about his lyrics being about that. It's not like anyone in these forums is saying they are for sure about that or spreading it as misinformation. He called out LP as his "life's work hanging in the balance" in Post Traumatic, and had "Crossing a Line" as a whole promo'd single. I see no reason why he can't revisit those motifs in a new song in 2023, though I also acknowledge that he's not the type to want to dwell. We also know he's had double entendres in the past too Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/15155-new-mikes-song-already-over-out-october-6/#findComment-321721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCrecelius Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 new single brings forth the same speculation we’ve had for 6 years… i think it’s a little unfair to expect that the guys know the answers yet, and if they do, it wouldn’t be announced through a solo song.

Based on the single cover art, the font is similar to "IN MY HEAD". is it possible if the track and "ALREADY OVER" is in the same universe (read as: album)? we all know the promo poster for "IN MY HEAD" does stated "A NEW ERA OF MIKE SHINODA MUSIC"..

Kirstie Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 (edited) It'll just be Mike on his own with hired musicians. He's not making that mistake again!! 🤣 Also the T shirt is really ugly. The whole blacked out thing except for his eyes is creepy. It looks like they ran out of time on The Apprentice and just went with what they'd got. I'm feeling really bitchy.... I must be due on my period soon.
