Just watched the Carson Daly videos of Petrified and Remember The Name. http://lplive.net/shows/db/fortminor/20051207 http://lplive.net/shows/db/fortminor/20060125 Not sure how this slipped by us/everyone, but they have the same clothes on in the performances. Aka, they did Petrified and Remember The Name on December 7th. Remember The Name aired in January to promote the USA tour. It's like Heavy and Invisible from James Corden 2017. I need to delete the second page and edit the first.

Talk to LPCatalog, they're selling multitracks.

Fake.

Was just going by songs he's credited for/songs released under that name.

Mike has released the instrumentals and acapellas from the Post Traumatic EP, saying on Twitter earlier today, "BTW: DJs, producers, and remixers...I have something for you today. #PostTraumatic" The tracks are in lossless form: - Place To Start (Acapella) - Place To Start (Instrumental 105 BPM) - Over Again (Acapella) - Over Again (Instrumental 73 BPM) - Watching As I Fall (Acapella) - Watching As I Fall (Instrumental 80 BPM) Download here.

M Shadows is fantastic, but those guys are in other bands with full time commitments + families. And LP would need someone in the studio. Chester didn't even have enough time to do a side project of STP. DBS hasn't come back since the break after MTM, because they haven't had time.

Announcing phase two of the Post Traumatic Tour demand: The reaction by fans that want to see Mike perform live has been phenomenal. The international community especially has gravitated towards the WeDemand effort and made their voices heard. There still is work to be done, and with a significant part of the main fanbase having voted already, it's time to expand the effort. Now is a great time to: - Post the campaign on forums, like international music festival forums (ringrocker, etc) and music forums, - Post in Facebook events related to Linkin Park/Mike, like cover band events, tributes, and more, - There have been several press articles about the campaign (AltPress, RockSound, etc). Keep contacting local press, international press, regional press, music press (magazines), etc to cover the campaign, - Keep blasting social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), - And keep inviting your friends to vote for Mike Keep using #PostTraumaticTour! Vote here.

Oli to me was by far the worst guest at the show. I appreciate the effort but he was cringeworthy, to the extreme. He is one of the worst vocalists of our time to me. I don't think LP will pick up another singer.

Mike is not able to go through songs right now.

That's really cool. What's the story behind that? Do we know? They went to an English pub and got the whole place to sing the melody? lol

When fans told Mike “You’re starting to challenge Puff Duffy/ Diddy/ P Diddy for most name changes by an artist”, he replied, “There's a long way to go before I max out on number of name changes. I think Wu Tang set the bar.” So we decided to take a look at all of the projects Mike has been involved with. While not all of these are names Mike has actually gone by, these are works he has been a part of in some form or another. Everyone knows the Xero -> Hybrid Theory -> Linkin Park evolution and fans know Fort Minor and the new Mike Shinoda project, but here are a few other names of projects he has worked on or in and/or names he has gone by: Kenji Mike actually went by the name Kenji for a brief period in the mid 1990s. Fans know this name of course as the title of one of the best Fort Minor songs, released on the album The Rising Tied. Kenji was the name of Mike’s late grandfather, who passed away in summer 2017, and is Mike’s middle name. In a few Xero songs (“Closing” and “Drop”), Mike shouts out the names Kenji and Artofficial (who is Joe Hahn) as “representing Xero”. Akira “High Voltage” from the Hybrid Theory EP shouts out the name “Akira.” When questioned who the "Akira" in the lyrics was, Mike said, "akira is a name i used to go by for a short period. it's from the movie, and it's the long version of my brother's middle name, akio" White Pegacorn / Mark Wakefield Mike used to make joke songs with Mark Wakefield (Xero) on the weekends in high school and college, before Xero had formed. It was a just-for-fun project featuring spoof covers imitating Snoop Dogg and other big hip-hop records of that era. In 2008, they released a song together under the name White Pegacorn. The only song released was entitled "Barack Your World" and first surfaced on September 4, 2008 on YouTube. It listed the members of the band as being Rick Pegacorn (Vocals), Ripper (Guitar, Vocals), Dante Danger (Bass), and Deathwish (Drums). Ken "Pooch" Van Druten, Linkin Park's FOH mixing engineer, posted the video on his blog with the following text: "This video was made by LP band member Mike Shinoda and his friend Mark Wakefield. They used to make funny videos like this all the time in high school and decided to write this song recently. Enjoy." Junkyard Scientific / Mike + Ryu The name Junkyard Scientific is mentioned in the Xero songs “Fuse” (from the 4 track cassette tape) plus “Closing” and “Fiends” (released online in 2017). It refers to Mike rapping with Ryu, or with Styles Of Beyond… of which Ryu is a member. It was a name that Ryu’s friend came up with (prior to S.O.B.). It never formed into a proper crew but Ryu referenced it in songs occasionally as he liked the name, and Mike mentioned it in the three Xero tracks. Ryu said he met Mike in the early-to-mid 90s when they lived right up the street from each other. Mike had a little production studio in his bedroom where they used to make demo tapes and parody songs. "The first thing I heard Mike write was a... the song was called "Whatever The Fuck." We just said, 'ok, we're just gonna write the first thing that pops in our head and just keep going back and forth and back and forth.' And actually, it's a pretty good song.” Ryu later added, "I think the first song I ever recorded with Mike was a song called "Whatever The Fuck". We recorded it in his bedroom on a little 4 track recorder. Mike did the beat, and the concept was to say pretty much the 1st thing that popped into our heads when we wrote it. We did that like in 1996, back in our development stage of rapping." This isn't, however, the only unreleased collaboration between the two. In an interview with HipHopDX, Ryu talked about how he first met Mike and how they used to make demos together: "My man Chris 007, he ended up being Styles Of Beyond’s manager, I met him and he was best friends with Shinoda. I didn’t know anybody out there so he introduced me to Shinoda and Mike had all the equipment in his room so naturally we started rapping together 'cause I guess in the area I lived at there weren’t many rappers who knew what the hell they were doing and since I was from a neighborhood where you really had to rap good I guess people started to gravitate towards me because of that. So Mike had equipment in his room and we just started working, making demos and stuff like that and we just ended up being friends." Pooch Pound In Rolling Stone in 2013, Mike talked about how he took his first steps towards hip-hop music when he was about 13 years old. He said, "I didn't know anything about old-school rock & roll or blues, but I'd hear a B.B. King song and just think it was the greatest thing ever. I always ended up taking those influences and making hip-hop beats out of them. So I put my bluesy piano to a sampled beat and, eventually, I started rapping over it." And then described the type of music he was making: "For the most part, we made a lot of joke songs. Gangsta rap had just poked its head out, and we made a lot of joke gangsta-rap songs. They were all about smoking weed and being pimps, and those were two things we were totally unfamiliar with. Like with a lot of suburban kids, there was an element of voyeurism there -- I had never been down to Long Beach, y'know?" In a 2015 Reddit AMA, Mike said, "I once made a demo tape of joke gangsta rap songs called “Pooch Pound” that included a song called “North Coast Killa” where we executed all our Canadian gangsta rivals." Others + Collaborations: Relative Degree Mike was not in this band, but he (very, very briefly) worked with them in 1995-1996. When Rob Bourdon and Brad Delson were in high school, they started a band called Relative Degree with Mark Wakefield and the bass player from a band called Karma. They had a dream of playing one show at The Roxy Theatre, a popular club for up and coming bands, located on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, California, so they set it as their big goal. Relative Degree played the show at The Roxy Theatre on May 17, 1996 before disbanding. At the time, Mike, who was a classmate of Brad's and Rob's, was making beats for local MCs, but would watch them practice sometimes. Mike developed a strong friendship with Brad, and, although he never joined the band, he would occasionally put samples in their songs, which had a sound similar to 311. Mike and Joe Trapanese Together, Mike and Joe Trapanese co-composed and re-scored the action film The Raid: Redemption, which is about a covert mission involving the extraction of a brutal crime lord from a rundown apartment. Sony told Mike that they loved Fort Minor and Mike’s remixes so they asked him to score the film. Mike said, “I thought back about those and they were all stuff that was really enjoyable to make. They were really asking me to do stuff that I do naturally and that I do for fun. So, it seemed like a good opportunity to do that and get some more experience scoring.” Additionally, he said, “Joe Trapanese stood out to me because he had already collaborated with Daft Punk on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack. It’s not a knock against the movie, but I thought the score was better than the movie. I thought Joe’s work was excellent and I really loved it, so when I talked to him and we hit it off and we saw eye to eye on a lot of it, I didn’t even think twice about committing to working together, if he was cool with it, which he was. We just got started right away.” Mike and Lil Jon… kinda Mike and Lil Jon wrote and produced the score for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. An EP was released on August 31, 2005 in support of the award function. The soundtrack was available for download on the website of MTV during 2005-2006, but the whole album was not available anywhere, so Mike released it separately for streaming on his official website on March 1, 2010. Mike said, “I did a small selection of beats for the show, and scored it with Lil Jon, who contributed his own tracks. We did not collaborate on any, FYI” The Mall (MS + CB + DF + JH + Alex Puro) Most Linkin Park fans know Joe Hahn’s film The Mall, which featured a score and soundtrack by Chester, Phoenix, Joe, Mike, and Alec Puro. The full songs were Linkin Park demos and the rest of the score was written around the movie, with some of the pieces sampling the full demos. There was no “band name” for this crew as it consisted of over half of Linkin Park and the members were credited individually. And there you have it! We didn’t even get into one/two song collaborations he has done...

According to the director of Peter Rabbit, Will Gluck, Mike Shinoda is featured in the new movie that is released today with a (funny) version of 'Remember The Name'. Collider.com: "I have to ask, how did you end with a Fort Minor song (“Remember the Name”) in Peter Rabbit?" WILL GLUCK: "Nice! So, I love that song. The lead singer, Mike Shinoda, is a dad at my daughter’s school, so I called him and said, “This is a crazy idea. I rewrote these lyrics. Do you mind doing it?” He thought it was a funny idea, and he made [the lyrics] better and did it. It’s one of those crazy things, where that’s how I happened. I always like doing crazy stuff with music, like that. There’s a lot of music in this movie that’s unexpected. It was crazy, and the rewritten lyrics were funny." Collider.com: "Did Mike Shinoda think it was a crazy idea, when you asked him about it?" WILL GLUCK: "I think so. You’d have to ask him, but probably. I explained that the sparrows would be singing different genres, throughout the movie." IMDB gives this information on the track: "Remember the Name (Peter Rabbit 2018 Film Version) Written by Mike Shinoda, Ryu (as Ryan Maginn) and Takbir Bashir Performed by Fort Minor Courtesy of Warner Music Australia Pty Limited Additional Vocals by Jack Dolman, Katharine Hoye, Jessica Freedman, Chad Reisser and Fletcher Sheridan " If you go to see the movie sometime soon, be sure to be listening for this fun take of 'Remember The Name'! It is possible that the track will also be released on the film's soundtrack. "In the United States and Canada, Peter Rabbit will be released alongside Fifty Shades Freed and The 15:17 to Paris, and is projected to gross around $16 million from 2,700 theaters in its opening weekend, with some estimates as high as $25 million."

Agreed. They probably look at markets like 100-200 miles apart, so maybe they pick one of those. I hope Atlanta gets one. Somewhere in the south at least.

Click the website, set your city to Birmingham, and click Demand. Then it shows up.

Big update. In order to see the magnitude of fans in each city/market, you need to request Mike play your city with this link: http://mshnd.co/demand WeDemand is the platform that will show them where Mike should perform. Use #PostTraumaticTour to promote the shows.

Really interesting info. Finally it's about to ship. Next campaign needs to be for the JK/DBS video archive they have, to make that into a documentary. Also to add to your list: They called Jonathan Davis and asked if they could open his solo tour.

Papercut to open HT for me. Only things I'd touch are moving The Catalyst to the end of ATS and put Messenger above Fallout. LT and THP are a total mess, I'd totally send those back to the drawing board on what songs made the album versus what songs didn't. Until It's Gone on THP? Lmao. Your OML one is cool, I like that. I'd end with OML (song) too. Wouldn't surprise me if we get a bside from those sessions down the line that is 100x better than Good Goodbye. The true album in all of this that is perfect to me is Minutes To Midnight. I really love that one.

The problem with the side project tours is that they missed such large portions of the country. Fort Minor had one show in the southeast, Dead By Sunrise had zero. Texas had what, one from both projects combined? The northeast definitely was lucky as NYC is a huge market (Boston, DC too). Would love to see this project go for a few years. NIN also is doing a USA tour either this year or next. Could you imagine Mike opening that?

Looking forward to more new music/videos that he alluded to. Maybe the release format going forward for this project is just a series of EPs. Not forcing an album. That's fine with me because we get new music sooner rather than later. I wonder what the extent of the touring is. For once, there is no Linkin Park obligation on the backend of this project. This could actually go just through 2018, or could go all of next year or even into 2020. One thing I'd like to see is real touring. None of the side projects had lengthy touring. Fort Minor got around but it was scattered headlining shows, festivals, and TV promo appearances... not actual legit tours. Yes I know there was like an 8 show USA tour... but that's short. Dead By Sunrise - even less "touring". It'd be great if Mike could get all over the world with tours on the continents. It's a one man show and he requires less down time between shows than Linkin Park did as a whole, so this could be possible. It all depends on what he wants to do. There is potential for 18-20 date tours in North America and Europe and smaller tours in Asia, Australia/NZ, and South America over the course of the next few years. I hope he takes advantage of it since it's easy to do as just one guy, the shows would be intimate, and they'd be pretty enjoyable. Why not try it? Whatever happens, I'm here for the ride.

I asked why Rob is credited with percussion on the track and he said it was from the OML era.

Agreed with your post Astat and wanted to add on to that comment you made about Fort Minor being stylistically a hip hop project... this MS solo project can mean literally any genre. The first song was from the OML sessions, the second song is hip hop, the third song sounds like it could be LP. Aka he has opened the door to make music all over the spectrum here. He can have a song like It's Goin' Down and a song like Devil's Drop on the same release (using the examples you mentioned above). In terms of a live set, I think we will see a similar thing to what we saw with Mike in 2015 in terms of how it is done. Mike is by himself on the stage with no additional musicians. Hope he plays Enth E Nd again, but I can understand if not.

I'll take "news I never would have guessed a month ago" for $1,000,000, Alex. Wow. This is good.
