From the beginning he said he would only answer intelligent questions, but ended up answering random ones near the end. Gave a tour of his home office or home studio Gave tips for new musicians. Started playing music because of his brother who was a cellist He is a big Anderson Silva fan He has been reading Game of Thrones by George Martin Is looking forward to the Australia/New Zealand Tour. It is one of his favorite places to be. Currently working on the Mall Soundtrack with the band. Says the movie is good. He would love to go to Space Lucky number is 8 He can play the violin Thinks it is weird that people use the band members' names in their usernames He does really enjoys surfing even though he's not particularly good at it Gets lots of comparisons to Brad Pitt. Says it is not a bad thing! Spoke of the differences with playing bass guitars with a pick and without. He is used to people calling him Dave, Phoenix, or just Farrell Writing style is different now in comparison to 2000s. There was less exploration for writing styles and less people to listen to it. He feel less pressure and more free now. The band can do whatever they want now because there is not a fear of losing a label. Loves Mexico, New Zealand & Australia, Italy, its great food, and its great soccer team He enjoys answering questions that are unrelated to Linkin Park, something that can't be google searched. Crazy things seen during shows: Chester breaking his wrist and continuing to perform Will probably never do a solo project. Not really his thing He personally, along with the rest of the band, really enjoys the LPU and the M&Gs. It's a special way for the band to get a chance to connect with fans. He knows that members may appear tired at times, but he wants you to know that they each still take the experience very seriously. Phoenix really wants to thank everyone for their support. Likes Les Miserables He does have pets He doesn't know where the band will be in twenty years. Hopefully still playing music Would like to build a bass himself someday Favorite Bassist is Paul McCartney Loved South Africa. Very impressed. He had always wanted to go there! The band does not use the old artwork style because it feels old The reason why the band doesn't want to repeat older sounds or styles is because they want to "create" or make something new or undone He does not like Gangnam Style. Thinks it is awesome, however, for Psy to make it to the US charts He enjoys dancing He has not read 50 Shades of Grey Does not think he sings very well but will continue to do back up vocals As a bass player, he doesn't like listening to bass solos so he doesn't write bass solos Sources: LPA, MSC

You have all the permissions a mod does so in a way

You just offended Mark, Jonas, LGraham, Numbrocker, and everyone else on the staff. lol.

I know he does the bridge samples in APFMH, the intro stuff on COG, and uses a variety of samples on LITE.

Fucking TRUTH.

Dafuq?

And COG + RU would translate well acoustically, I would imagine.

Its about time LP did an acoustic show

We should ask him if they're playing the Grammy's, cause there's a lot of shit going around about that.

You also keep using lyrics from the song Ehhh, the album version's guitars suck when they come in at the intro but the rest of it is amazing. Don't understand why you don't like it but you have your opinions. Good for you sticking up for yourself

Pictureboard is an old Xero song they may have played back in 2000. I really don't understand the hype about it, though. It may be the 'In Yourself/Be Yourself' thing from RIP/RAR 2001.

Today, Mike did a short unscheduled chat with the members of the LPU. The chat lasted about half an hour. - Mike said that after the next Linkin Park album, there may be a new Fort Minor album, but he can't promise anything. He may have just been thinking out loud. - He said something about "Narwhal" being the album's next title. Unsure about what band's album he was referring to. - He said he has not played the game Halo, but Joe has played it. - Mike said he will start a Reddit Q&A, and for members to prepare their questions. - Mike trolled the members a bit. - He got bored and left the chat.

I'll make a section for show intros.

...all of the above AWW SNAP

That was me I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the video, though. Just search the song and (2013 Deluxe Version)

Here comes the hate... -hate-

NO. Just NO.

Wonder if we can get any information out about the setlists!

I've uploaded full versions of both songs to YT

Buying NRL and SOTD. Will probably get anything else with changes until the stuff gets torrents. I'll upload it to YT Acc. #1 before 8:30 EST. Also is it just me or does NRL have louder strings in this version?

How is the Studio Collection one different from the original?

lol... What the hell else do they have? New NRL & SOTD so far.

So apparently, LP is collaborating with Sebago, a shoe company. LP shoes coming soon!

Not yet, but looks like it'll happen.
