KROQ: Chester Bennington On Linkin Park’s Growth

2012-05-21T16:47:00.001-04:00

Ted Stryker from KROQ Radio interviewed Linkin Park before their dress rehearsal show for a few fans. Read it here!

“There are a couple misconceptions with a band writing a song. One is that you think of a song, you like dream it up, and then you make it. And that’s not how it works for us. Another thing is people think maybe a band jams and then they write a song and then they go into a studio and then they record it and then when they’re done recorded they go mix and master and then the put it out.” - Mike Shinoda

Linkin Park Teams Up With Lotus F1 To Create “Linkin Park GP”

2012-05-21T16:42:00.000-04:00

From Mike's blog:

We have teamed up with the Lotus F1 Team to create “Linkin Park GP.” This is more than just a racing game for your iPad. In “Linkin Park GP,” players drive a Lotus E20 F1 car and interact with a 360° environment to create an original remix of “BURN IT DOWN.” As you accelerate and move through the app, audio tracks and live effects are mixed in real time to respond to your actions. This allows users to actually zoom into sections of the song, even into individual instruments.
The free app is available for download on iPad starting Thursday, May 24. Watch the trailer for the app below.
