ThePretender Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Read the newest interview with Chester on MTV.com Bennington said LP are once again working with producer Rick Rubin — who produced their last effort, 2007's Minutes to Midnight — on the new album. And, yes, they're still sticking to the concept Bennington had first mentioned last year, only, you know, with a slightly different, slightly more realistic twist. "It's like, 'Oh, let's go and make this giant opus that no one's ever done. It's going to cost billions of dollars and take forever.' And we're like, 'Wait a second, it's going to cost billions of dollars and take forever,' " he laughed. "So we might need to just make a record and still try to do a concept but figure out a way to do it without actually waiting another five or six years to put out a record, to try to pull off all the grandiose insanity we were thinking of doing. And we're doing that. So I would imagine, I'm guessing even conservatively, that we'll probably have a record out by June of next year." Bennington said that, in keeping with Linkin Park tradition, the new album will be sonically adventurous and that it might even feature a few tunes he'd intended for Dead by Sunrise's follow-up to Ashes. "It's kind of funny, because I wrote a song, and I was positive it was a Dead by Sunrise song, and I was in the studio playing it, and Brad [Delson] goes, 'You are putting that down right now!' " he said. "And I was like, 'Well, apparently that's a Linkin Park song.' The song is called 'Fucking Awesome' by the way." Sounds rad. And though he's pushing hard on the new Linkin Park album, Bennington's not quite finished with Dead by Sunrise — not by a long shot, it would seem. "We are going to tour, and we are going to make more records," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xero21 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm glad Chester isn't just assuming a song is going to be for DBS and withholding it from LP. That'll make sure LP stays the #1 priority as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZero Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ahhh June... So far away >_< Hope it goes by fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahninator Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 LP must have some progress if they are letting Chester tour until January with DBS. Album out in June? That gives Feb, March, April & May. May for mixing/production. 3 months of work left for the CD? I like what I hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePretender Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Still, prospects were early 2010. June is the sixth month, so mid-2010! Darn it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the rest of the band can work while he's away, and Mike can scat vocals, so when Chester comes back it's just like let's finalize these vocals, mix, and fucking go. This album has some quiet yet major hype around it. Love that shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spraypaintninkpens Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) A quote of June 2010, in reality means sometime in 2011. I was really hoping it'd come out around February.

hi_c21 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 At least we have a targeted time slot now. All that pushing back really pissed me off hopefully Chester is right and LP sticks with June. As far as DBS is concerned I'm not entirely sure what to think of more records. Shouldn't they wait and see how other singles fair on the charts? Idk just bring on LPU 9 it will hold me over till the new record. Makes me curious though as to what they were planning on doing that would take "five years and a billion dollars" to do...

I'm pretty sure they had been planning something besides a CD for the concept album. Some of the quotes they gave seemed to hint at it.

MrInfluXion Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Linkin Park, Orgy, Fort Minor, Dead by Sunrise, Julien-K, Circuit Freq, JK-DJs — it's a pretty good bill.

INK 1 2Many Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Great news, don't mind the wait. OOA came out, one more month until LPU 9 plus DBS touring on Jan can hold me for a june release. Fuckin Awesome! Great title! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astat Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think he was joking, but man I'd love to see FM back on tour again. I honestly don't see anything substantial happening with FM in the future (at least as far as live performances are concerned), because Tak seems to have totally ditched Ryu and Mike. I don't think he even talks to either of them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 June sounds cool. PR could totally happen next Summer now too if that happens. I can't wait for the new album. I think this upcoming year will be awesome. LPU9, DBS tour, New LP album, PR (Most likely) and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbiter Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Chester isn't being realistic if he thinks he can do both Linkin Park and Dead by Sunrise records continuously and simultaneously without sacrificing one for the other or a personal life. At least, i don't see how that is possible to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he even talks to either of them anymore. Yeah, there was definitely a fallout over something but Tak, Ryu and Mike all go way back. Maybe they can mend bridges eventually.

Christos_17 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 June, hey. I reckon it might be the end of 2010 though. Hopefully not of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZZY Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Dude loving that festival thought. Fucking LP/JK/DBS/Orgy are the main focus in there for me (FM would be, but yeah all the tension there....) Interview was rather short, but fucking radical none the less!
