hahninator Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 First thing is first, NO we do NOT have an interview with Mike. Buuuuuut I would like to know, though, what you would ask Mike if you had an opportunity. I want to create a list of about 15-20 excellent questions to ask Mike if we ever had a chance. M&G, LPL interview, LPU chat, anything. Post what you'd like to know. Make some intriguing, good questions...no BS like "When is the album coming out?" or something. For example, one question I have deals with the live show. I would like to know what led to them having a childrens choir on stage for Hands Held High and the UCLA BRUIN marching band on stage for No More Sorrow/Bleed It Out @ KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas 2007...how the idea came about for that. Post away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyonizr Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Well, maybe some of you think that this is a quite stupid question: "Who has an idea to do a drum solo on Bleed It Out? Was it from Rob himself? Or did you motivate him to do so?" Edited October 22, 2009 by vyonizr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 The band said they forced him to do it, lol. Good question though, maybe there's more behind it. Another one I have is: I think it's great you offer fans the opportunity to purchase a recording of the show they go to for most shows you play. Do you think someday it's possible to expand on that idea by offering up older shows the band played for sale online such as a Projekt Revolution 2004 show or an Ozzfest 2001 show like other bands such as Metallica does? O_O Would be epic. PR04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZZY Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 What led to only releasing one B-Side for MTM? (No Roads Left). Did this track ever get rehearsed to be played live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForfeitTheGame91 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Who's the brain behind performing My December and Pushing Me Away as piano versions? And have you ever thought about playing other songs (for example Easier To Run) as piano versions?

1996_LP Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 wow, great , great questions. this one is my fav. IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE A VOTED SETLIST FOR A LIVE GIG? Yeah, I've sugested it multiple times too. But everyone seems to ignore it XD My two questions for Mike: Question 1: "would you ever consider making an LPU contest in where the fans vote/make a custom setlist and the winner gets their setlist performed live at the next LP show?" Question 2: "On the Hybrid Theory EP, what track are you most proud of?" thats all for now. until i think of some more lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacrid Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Okay, four things i'm interested in: 1. Do LP have an Idea how the layout of the new CD will look like... Cover Booklet etc... Will there eventually be a new LP-Symbol? 2. LP have experimented with different instruments for M2M. Did they use other instruments or worked with other people (choir) etc. for the new Album? 3. What song would mike like to cover (solo or with lp) on a Live show. 4. Have you ever thought about singing or rapping in other languages?

Jack Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Mike, have you ever considered releasing instrumental or acapella album of your Linkin Park's work like Trent Reznor or Shawn Carter did? Is it Warner that won't allow a release of it? If so, why exactly? There's quite a handful of LP and FM re-mixers out there that are running out of ideas.

OZZY Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have another one relating to HHH. Why was HHH dropped from setlists after 2007? also: How did the idea behind HHH come about during writing MTM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkViper30000 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I may sound stupid but...: I really sound stupid "Will LP make a contest for fans to submit a perfect name for a studio album or singles like LP did for Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes live CD/DVD?"

linkingabo Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 my question::: today I was listening to the song Believe Me and I bumped into these lines::: "Back then I thought you were just like me Somebody who could see all the pain I see But you Proved to me unintentionally That you would self destruct eventually Now I'm thinkin' like the mistake I made doesn't hurt But its not gonna work 'Cause it's really much worse Than I thought I wished you were something you were not And now this guilt is really all that I got" ..I think these are about Chester, because back then Chaz had a self-destructive behaviour, and in my oppinion Chaz would be the person for Mike, who "I thought you were just like me Somebody who could see all the pain I see" ...but maybe I'm wrong ...so the question is::: are these lines about Chester Bennington?

SergSlim Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Do you know lp-collection.net website? it's all about LP/FM CDs and DVDs. What do you think about people who collect hundreds of different LP CDs (Albums, Singles, Promos, Demos), etc. and buy some of them for crazy prices?

OZZY Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 This one is another one regarding live shows, that either Mike or Chester could answer. Throughout 2007 you played piano versions of "Pushing Me Away" "My December" and the one off at Toranto (08?) of "Breaking The Habit" My question is this. Have you ever considered doing an acustic version of "The Little Things Give Away"? Im guessing the song would then shortened into 3-4mins leaving room for a "special treat" *cough No Roads Left cough* Anyone else ever though about that?

spraypaintninkpens Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What the hell is going on with Fort Minor. Is it ever going to be revisited or was it a one time thing?

ThePretender Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 What the hell is going on with Fort Minor. Is it ever going to be revisited or was it a one time thing? He keeps avoiding this question like a politician whenever it gets asked. Didn't he say that he was putting all the Fort Minor energy to the LP record? I think that he himself doesn't know if he wants to continue the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZero Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Hmmm... My question would be... Mike, has there ever been a song that has been recorded from the Hybrid Theory, Meteora, or Minutes to Midnight sessions that was dropped but you didn't want to see go? Example: The band votes it out but you are the only one who wanted it to stay? And if so, do you think you could tell us a little bit about that song or songs and have we ever heard or will we hear them?

1996_LP Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 There is already an acapella and instrumental of New Divide. Yeah, I know! typo I downloaded it as soon as it was released! So yeah, it does give me hope that more stuff like that is in store for us in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
