...the third verse of RU is solely Chester claims he doesn't care about anything post-MTM, can still make bold claims about post-MTM songs also hated MTM a month ago calls SFN "that" song Man, if you want to troll, at least try lol

Wasn't a huge livestream so I don't think there's much of a reason to make a new thread, but Mike is in Shanghai right now and did a livestream on QQMusic and answered some questions: - Mike shot some footage in China that may be used for future music videos - He's aiming to play in China at the end of the summer - Mike learned to write his name in Chinese

Europe, Shinoda is coming. To add to his appearances at Englands Reading and Leeds festivals in August, Mike Shinoda will be performing at the Rock En Seine festival in Paris, France on August 24. Mike is near the top of the bill, playing under PNL and Die Antwoord. This will be Mike's first appearance in France - and Europe - as a solo artist, and the first time since last June when Linkin Park performed at Hellfest. Who's going to go? Thirty Seconds To Mars headlines on Saturday and Justice and Macklemore headline Sunday. Hopefully more European dates will be on the way - the end of August and beginning of September are looking good!

Much love, enjoy the green

As we normally do with every new cycle, let's start collecting all the rumors we hear circling around about where Mike's going to be touring for the Post Traumatic Tour. If you hear something, post your source in a comment! Remember to request Mike on WeDemand if you haven't already to help him decide where he'll be playing shows!

No timeframe is certain, but it would make sense for him to do it in August before he plays the Summer Sonic festival shows in Japan on August 18 and 19. Malaysia: He partnered with Warner Bros Malaysia to conduct a Q&A for fans. This sort of push would make sense if Warner Bros. is trying to raise awareness for him out there in order to get a show booked. China: Live Nation China asked on their website, "Who's ready for Mike Shinoda's Post Traumatic Tour? Maybe this summer Live Nation will give you the biggest surprise." Additionally, on April 4, Mike liked a tweet asking if he would be touring in China. On April 13, Mike and Lorenzo went to Shanghai, China. On May 21, leaked documents sent to the Chinese government regarding what songs Mike will be allowed to play revealed two dates potentially scheduled in Beijing and Shanghai. Singapore: Like with Warner Bros Malaysia, Warner Music SG also launched a Q&A for Mike. WeDemand Top Cities We launched the initial Post Traumatic Tour promo back in February to raise the hype for Mike's tour and let him know where the demand for a show is. It's likely he'll try and hit most of the Top 20 places on the list. Confirmed Tours Nothing yet! False / Cancelled In Negotiation Nothing yet! If you have any tips as to where Mike may be playing on the following touring cycle, post below!

This is why we can't have nice things :\

I've seen Imagine Dragons three times over the last 5 years, and two of those times I was fortunate enough to have been able to go for free. I was looking at tickets for an amphitheater show they're playing near me and damn the prices were ridiculous. In their defense, like Todd said a few posts above, they're riding their peak right now plus there's several big names on the lineup. I know ID has elaborate production with every tour AND, for the sake of the argument, considering this festival is run by Reynolds himself, I'm sure there's a big cost of production that comes with that, too - you don't see cheap day/weekend passes to festivals anymore either. Not a fan of the price but I can understand it. And if its going towards a good cause, I respect it nonetheless. I wouldn't buy the tickets myself, but hey, for those who do, I hope they get their money's worth. In my experience, ID is an amazing live band, so I'm sure they'll put on a great show.

Instagram Live Q&A stuff: The EP songs start the album off, as he wants the album to start in a dark place and then move out of that. Make sure to sign up and vote on WeDemand to help Mike know where to play + how big he needs to book his shows! Eastern Europe (Russia + Kazakhstan) in strong, and Mike's starting to book these shows soon. Be sure to spread the word! No Linkin Park members will be joining Mike onstage for these shows, because he feels he needs to do this on his own right now. The 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore' video was shot after the fires in LA subsided. The chaos of the fires is symbolically connected to the song's meaning itself. There ARE collaborations on the album! Mike had a little help producing the songs (Rob drums on 'Place To Start,' Brad helped write a few bits, etc.), but it is almost entirely produced by Mike himself. He's putting the finishing touches on things now. He's not mixing it, though - Manny Marroquin is doing that. There is a mix of rapping, singing, and both throughout the album. Expect a wide range of stuff! 'Looking For An Answer' probably isn't going to be on the album as of now. Mike might play it live at his shows, though! Mike is a J-Pop star. #confirmed Mike spent the morning testing out the blanks (unprinted) for the merch. The art will be based around the album aesthetics, which he's working on with Frank Maddocks.

Today is a huge day! Get the hype ROLLING! Mike Shinoda has announced his brand new album, Post Traumatic, due out June 15th. Preorders for the album are live right now, via the brand new MikeShinoda.com website. To go with the announcement, Mike has released the lead single from the record: 'Crossing A Line' - the song you have been seeing teasers of all week long. This is the track Mike played for fans in Hollywood, CA recently, where he filmed a new music video. Along with 'Crossing A Line,' a second track from the album, entitled 'Nothing Makes Sense Anymore' is included on the single. Videos for both of these songs are out as well! Mike is joining KROQ's Kevin & Bean at 7am PST (right at the time of posting!) to discuss the Post Traumatic album and to debut 'Crossing A Line,' so be sure to tune in! During the interview, Mike has revealed the album will have 16 tracks. Who's ready for some Mike Shinoda?! He's been keeping us on our toes all week, announcing that his first show will take place this May at Identity LA in Los Angeles, California. On top of that, he announced he will be performing at England's Reading and Leeds Festivals as well! For the latest Mike Shinoda news, be sure to follow us on Twitter.

I don't get how anything you just said related to the post you replied to, nor do I get anything you just said period.

Super excited for this one. Sounds great to me. All we have is a vocal and a partial instrumental (I'm assuming, at least) and I'm still digging it. Excited to hear the full thing

Things are really getting going now! Just a few days after announcing a show in Los Angeles in May, Mike has announced MORE tour dates, and this time its huge. He will be performing at England's esteemed Reading and Leeds festivals this August! The dates will be August 25th for Reading and August 26th for Leeds. Mikes no stranger to these shows - Linkin Park performed at Reading and Leeds 2003, and Fort Minor performed at Reading 2005. Who is excited? Things are getting exciting in the world of Shinoda! Tomorrow, a new song is expected to be released (at this rate, maybe were in store for even more)! More tour dates may be on the way as well. Get the hype going!

Hype time boys!

Dude no matter what any of us say about your remix, you are a goddamn legend lmao

Mike went live on Instagram today and played some new music for us. In similar fashion to how he went live from the studio with a stream of 'Looking For An Answer' back in December, Mike kept his mouth closed for this stream and let the music do the talking. If you missed it, you can watch it below. What could this be? It seems that there are lots of tracks already loaded up to the session he's playing with, it seems like this track is pretty far along. Is this the song Mike previewed to fans in Hollywood and shot a video for last month? There's no telling when this song could be released - we haven't gotten much info about 'Looking For An Answer' since that stream happened. That being said, this song seems to be ready, and it also sounds pretty damn good. What do you guys think? Let us know what you think.

Place To Start (Monica Lyrae Remix) 5. Place To Start (Sena Ave Remix) PTS was definitely the shout for this contest.

After KROQ's Stryker wore a fancy Chester Signature Pin to the GRAMMY's this February in honor of Chester, the whole fanbase wanted in on it. The band said they'd work on it, and now they're here - the Chester Bennington Signature pins are now onsale! Two new products are now onsale in the Linkin Park store: the Chester pin and a t-shirt with the photo of Chester in the crowd taken this last summer. The t-shirt is $40 and the pin is $10, or you can buy both as a bundle for $45. The pins and shirts are limited edition, so be sure to grab it while you can! They'll be shipping out by April 9. Who's planning on buying them? These are some really great items to have for any LP fan, and it'll be great for any LP fan. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and like our Facebook page for the latest news. We're planning a bunch of awesome things over the next few months, but we need your help - if you have the ability to, please consider donating to us!

Hey, that's the vinyl store nearest me!

Just wrote up my review of the album. Definitely big, glad to finally see the band sound confident ant excited for what's next. Gutt sounds perfect in STP. http://www.immortalreviews.com/home/2018/3/15/stone-temple-pilots-overcome-tragedy-with-stone-temple-pilots

very excited to listen to the album, Jeff Gutt is a great fit. Reading the last part of the liner notes broke my heart, it's such a humble and genuine, yet short statement. It's interesting if you think about it, that while Gutt's voice is definitely more akin to Weiland's, he seems to be more inspired by Chester than Scott. That's of course because they were closer, but it's interesting to see that sort of progression.

@everyone: just make sure you submit the link through the form in the main post and you're submitted. Three and a half hours left to submit!

I interpreted you saying "MGK and shit" as you calling out others and putting down the music, my fault. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

They know how it feels to lose someone they poured their hearts out with, so I would not be opposed. Not sure if they'd fit with this project's aesthetic though, but I'm open to it. I personally don't see Mike going out to collab on this one, this feels like something he wants to, and perhaps needs to, do by himself.

What on earth makes you think that Mike will make an album, presumably about moving on from the loss of Chester, would bring on someone who doesn't believe understands the same feelings he'll be singing about, assuming he brings on anyone in the first place? Get your head out of your ass and stop complaining. You try sifting through hours upon hours of hard work you made with one of your best friends for more than two decades who died by suicide.

We'll take care of him guys. If this thread gets anymore out of hand we'll have to lock it. I feel like this entire thread is just "I'm going to say things so many times in an attempt to make myself believe what I'm saying is true."
