Excuse me? I don’t think Mike ever did cocaine on stage. Plz be careful with comments like this if they are untrue , with all respect to Mike 

i was under the impression that Mike never did drugs only rob and chester, how can we confirm the statement about mike?

Mike didn’t do coke wtf 😂 and who cares if he was drunk that day. The idiot who wrote that into linkinpedia must have thought that was cool but it’s an unnecessary thing to point out In general. Not sure what their intention is with noting that like it’s a cool thing, because it’s not, it’s just a normal thing. I remember my first beer lmao. But coke? It doesn’t take a genius to look at Mike after all these years and can easily tell his life wasn’t involved with drugs. I wonder what other stupidity is written into linkinpedia lol.

Where are you getting Rob from? Where’s the source that triggered your impression on that? 😂

[JZLP-Benningstrong]

Can someone upload 7Th Avenue drop to YouTube? its probably the best sound out of any FM proshot.

 

Every vid on YouTube looks like shit i dont remember the original video looking that bad.

Don't understand the aggressiveness towards Linkinpedia, since there's not a single line mentioning coke on the show page.

It only says: "This show was on Mike's birthday. He was VERY drunk, along with everyone else."

No one wrote on Linkinpedia that Mike was under drugs. He was drunk, that's a fact and that was mentioned, so I would be careful with calling someone an idiot just because of that.

I was the guy saying the shit of coke because some rumours I've heard. I puta the Linkinpedia as an example of the second thing. Don't blame them, blame me.

Dude can be the most positive person, but occasionally he tends to get a bit unhinged out of nowhere. Hard to tell why that is.

 

The Rob thing had been mysterious for many years. It was known that he had some problems during his teenager years, but the extent is not known.

I vaguely remember some band member (maybe Phoenix in his podcast?) saying they had to be careful with drinks while on tour because of Chester and Rob.

As you said, a mistery if they were just cautions or if Rob had any issues as an adult

This is a funny anecdote: Listening to FM, I always thought Mike quit LP and had started this hip-hop project. Once MTM was released, and the first song I heard was Given Up, it assured my thoughts and to hit the nail in the coffin, I saw the Tour Edition Album cover and couldn't recognize Mike, as he sported a full beard, no goatee, nor earrings or a cap (honestly, he looks a completely different person and I kinda miss that look of his). Thankfully, I watched Bleed It Out's official video and it clarified my thoughts.

About RT, it was a banger of an album. Lots of hits for me: Kenji, Slip out the back, Cigarettes (THE BEAT IS SICK), Where'd you go, In Stereo, Right now and ofc the golden RTN. I remember RTN again picked up a following with the launch of Karate Kid trailer in 2010.

I was referring to whoever said Mike did coke was an idiot, I didn’t clarify that. But the drunk thing I also find stupid because why does it actually matter? Did Mike fall off stage? Or was he simply having a good time? Is it really that note worthy then? That’s why I find this completely silly. “Omg Mike was drunk?? Let’s write it on LinkinPedia.” 
 

I’m simply trying to understand the logic of some people in this forum.

No, I love Linkinpedia. Not being aggressive towards a website lmao. More towards the idea of Mike doing coke. I went and read it to verify if it says Mike did Coke or not, then I read the drunk part, and also found that to be less dumb, but still dumb to note. It’s just my opinion. Most of you say far worse shit on here in the chat box everyday.

Wells that’s nice to know! And nobody is always 💯 positive or correct anyways. I’m surely not always positive, I will have my moments like when I read the Coke thing. But I’m sorry for calling someone an idiot. I didn’t have to insult anyone

I’m sorry directly to you for saying that. And Trumtram thanks for pointing this out. About me. It’s something I’m thinking about now and will try to be more mindful of.

It's all good, man. It just feels so out of place for you when it happens, as you are a rather nice, positive and (most importantly) creative person generally. I was on the receiving end of it a couple of times in the past. That's why I noticed it in the first place. No harm done, since we all have "bad" days and ways of going about them ✌️.

no but seriously, thank you for your honesty and kind words. And I couldn’t help myself I had to insert the bad LP joke. But the lyrics are relevant to my situation 😂
