    Have You Started Working On The Follow-up To "Meteora"?

    We're quietly starting to work on it right now. The way we write, we're kind of always writing. We've always used Pro Tools and digital recording equipment to get ideas down as we have them. That being said, writing "Meteora" was a little bit over an 18-month process. I think I would imagine that the next record will be somewhat of the same. It's going to be awhile. We plan to be touring through the end of this coming summer. We still have a bit of time before a next record will come out.

    Much Has Been Said About How You're One Of The Few Bands That Doesn't Have Swearing In Their Lyrics. Is That Something That's A Big Deal To You Or Did It Just Come Out That Way?

    Our joke is we save it all for the live show. [Laughs] By no stretch of the imagination could anyone ever believe that swearing does not occur around Linkin Park and the guys involved, which is funny, obviously, if you listen to the records because obscenities are absent.

    Really what it came down to for us is when Mike and Chester would sit down to write their lyrics, there was a challenge laid down to them both by the band and Don Gilmore, the producer of "Hybrid Theory," to express themselves to the utmost of their ability. Part of what came with that was when they had the feeling that they wanted to use an obscenity, there's always a better way than swearing to express yourself, if you have the time to sit down and think it through.


    this is a pretty good interview, its long though

    Okay i'm relieved. :lol:

    I thought he meant they were gonna make it almost the same as the last one. That wouldn't be anything interesting.

    Thanks.

    No, his name is Darren. Dave is short for that, and Pheonix is his nickname.

    "Darren" has nothing to do with "David". It's just a misprint of a bio Warner Brothers put out. Everyone messes up his name because they use the misprinted biography where they called Dave "Darren".
