JZLP-Benningstrong Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 The biggest news of this thing is that Rob suggested the band to meet Emily. too bad that Mike just mentions it and doesnt go in depth. also Emily wanted to be part of Chester's Hollywood Bowl show. holy fuck.

Yeah....but loved the fact that Mike referred Rob as our drummer....As a friend - Rob will always have a special place in Mike's heart it feels. Recalled how he stared in amaze when Rob played the solo in Rock in Rio 2014 Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17882-zach-sang-show-interview-with-emily-and-mike/#findComment-337685 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionHart Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 One thing that jumped out to me is them discussing IGYEIH being the last song to come together. To me it's definitely the song on the album when I heard it the first time that I could hear a more dead Sara influence to it and wondered if it was a fresh song they did together or was a seed mike introduced her to Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/17882-zach-sang-show-interview-with-emily-and-mike/#findComment-337694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Mike says "He believes it was Rob" but also says "it could of been someone else" Mike's memory thing could be at play here but I feel like Rob would be the last person to do that cause 1 he was distancing himself away from LP and 2 he's no longer here anymore with LP.

JerseyShore Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 This was a really great interview where we got some great info about the comeback and the band overall. I always love when Mike talks about their lyrics being somewhat ambiguous. It's what has helped them sustain success for 25 years.

RogueSoul Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 This interview is a gold mine. Took like two and a half hours to go through and add the information to all the Linkinpedia pages, but wow. This guy let Mike go on his tangents and that gave us exactly what we wanted LOL. Emily looks wonderful here, might I add. For those who wanna do some reading, I updated these pages on Linkinpedia: From Zero (album), IGYEIH, Heavy Is The Crown, The Emptiness Machine, Casualty, and Two Faced. FZ album page has a lot of new information on Emily and Colin joining and their dynamic as the new members of the band.
