'scuse me sir, but why do you claim to know what the band would consider viral?

And lo, Rolling Stones took words out of context, and the fanbase imploded upon itself.

You're just getting WRAPPED UP INSIDE HIS LIES!

So true!

Holy fuck. ....Need some new pants.

I would download this, but it's kinda big. >_> Can't mainly because my net has an arbitrary cap set by my ISP @ 80GB.

Can you provide us a link? >_>

I have a feeling that it'll be the same kind of deal as the Kerrang! interview. However, I could be mistaken-- I want scans, nonetheless.

This, times infinity.

And had large obnoxious horrible blue text in his sig saying we should all forget ATS for a long period of time. Egotistical? Yep. Elitist? Yep. *headdesk*

This. This so much.

However-- that is indeed your opinion. I, and a lot of other fans, don't think it's a "bad change". Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it a bad thing. Just because a band puts out something that you don't like doesn't inherently make it bad. It's good music. Just not your kind of thing. It's still Linkin Park. I, for one, love everything LP has come out with. HT/Reanimation/Meteora/MTM/ATS. I want them to keep on doing the music they want, and not listen to what people want them to sound like. It's just more exciting that way-- you never know what they're going to do next. Love it, or hate it, you can't deny that Linkin Park is a unique band in how they change from album to album-- even with keeping the same kind of sound between Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they pulled off plenty of new, exciting things that kept everything fresh. They know how to make good music, regardless of genre-- but the genre hopping I think is what people complain about, because not many other bands ((That I know of)) change constantly each album, constantly reinventing their sound. I think you're in it for more "Rock" than anything else, which is why you hated ATS-- because it wasn't in your genre preferences. It came completely out of left field. I, for one, just like to sit back and enjoy the ride. I was originally in it for the rock too-- but Linkin Park have brought so much more to the table than that in the past few years, it really is quite amazing. I want them to keep on doing what they want to do, without constricting themselves to a single mindset. However-- As such, I don't mind if they work in some of their old sound into anything, because I know that Linkin Park will keep things fresh. The most exciting thing is that you just don't know what to expect with new songs. I love that feeling.

No, they didn't sell out. Anyone who suggests such a thing is... Well, to put it frankly, an idiot. They're making the music they want to make. That's the opposite of selling out. ____ So, did they ever post an article? >.>

Inb4 people take these two words out of context.

I really don't think they changed their sound because of sales figures. I think they changed their sound because they wanted to. That's what I love about Linkin Park. They keep changing their music and experimenting. I can't wait for more info, too!

http://japancinema.net/2012/02/01/creative...3-mike-shinoda/ Also suggests a Summer 2012 release for the new album! With so many people saying the same thing, from so many sources, one begins to wonder... Source: Mike's twitter.

Scheduled for tomorrow. From LP's twitter: "@joehahnLP will be video chatting exclusively with LPU members tomorrow, January 27th. Join now to take part. lpunderground.com" Discuss! Update: "Due to unforeseen cirumstances, the LPU chat with Joe has been postponed. However, Rob Bourdon will be video chatting with LPU members Monday, January 30 at around 3:30pm PST. This time is subject to change, and might be earlier or later. Please arrive a little early just in case. Joe's chat will be rescheduled at a later date."

All of them are the best.

Oh my god. Confirmation! Or something! ...I'm gonna need to wash my pants.

This. I really wanna hear Mike's music.

Flight's aren't really cheap, but if NZ is missed out on next time I'll have no choice.

LP Never even came to my country, and haven't since MTM's tour. And I wasn't as much of a fan back then as I am now. So yeah. Lucky bastards. /newzealanderranting

Not really news, but more of a tease. From Mike's twitter: "2012. http://instagr.am/p/f1Aid/" The image links to: *Starts making theories relating to "The"* Possibilities: 1) Part of the tracklist, lyrics, or album title? 2) Mikerolling. 3) LP's schedule for 2012.

No idea. Wondering that as well.

From twitter: “@linkinpark: Join @phoenixlp for an exclusive LPU video chat Wednesday at 2pm PST. Login or join at http://lpunderground.com.” Chat anyone?" What are you guys gonna ask?
