    Here is a quick collection up of Linkin Park news stories that have been making the rounds as of late:

    Mike Shinoda Comments On The Raid Soundtrack:

    Linkin Park vocalist Mike Shinoda recently took to his blog to talk more about The Raid soundtrack, giving an update on it's progress while also commenting how it has changed his approach to writing music. Below is an except:

    "Writing big, nasty parts for a fast-paced action scene have come pretty naturally for me. There are lots of moments with big beats and unique, exciting sounds. But one thing I’ve found that’s different in writing for film (versus an album) is being aware of how and when to make the music transparent. The music needs to be invisible at times. Writing a Linkin Park song is usually about our personal stories, not someone else’s. And an LP song is designed to draw you in, to catch your ear with words, melodies, and sounds. Often, the techniques I might use to create a catchy sound or “hook” would actually take away from a scene in The Raid, so it’s been a fun challenge to learn when and how to let the movie’s story come first."

    Future DBS Tour On The Way?

    Although speculated several months ago, via a FB comment on Ryan Shuck's Facebook page, it appears now that a future DBS show/tour is in the works. According to a post on his twitter, Ryan has been hard at work with rehearsals for both Julien-K and DBS. It is uncertain just what this means, but we will keep you posted as more information becomes available.

    Thanks to Zane and Geki for the news!

    Looking forward to hearing Mike's soundtrack!
    I must say, if that DBS tour comes about (and not just one or two dates in the US but all over the world) I'll be there! What might be even cooler if they did a Dead by Sunrise + Julien-K tour. that'll be sweet. Though I shouldn't get my hopes up. :sleep:

    So no full LP song for the soundtrack, just small ones like Mike's VMA 2005?

    It's not going to be tied to LP at all. He's scoring the film, meaning he's making all of the instrumental music for the album (like Daft Punk did for TRON).

    Also, Linkin Park wouldn't do a new song for an Indonesia independent flick.

    My question is where DBS would go to come close to selling out shows. Certainty not the U.S. unless if they're playing in small venues.

    Not too interested in the DBS show to be honest. It's kinda like beating a dead horse with a dead chicken on that one.

    I can't wait for The Raid OST to be released though.

    I see many people not interested in DBS, and I probably agree. Not that I follow the daily plans of each member at all nor am interested, but to see that Mike got involved in the last 10 years on 4 different big projects makes me want to see from Chester something different too. A DBS tour is not appealing for the future IMO.
    What I like of Mike is how he transmits passion for music. Only who is addicted to music, experimenting inside of it and stuff, can do so many different things and let them all be grand in some unique way, resulting fresh, new, constant.

    lmao am I the only one psyched about a possible DBS tour? Maybe this could mean the possibility of a new DBS album. New DBS and LP albums would totally make my last year of earth's existence :awesome:

    I saw DBS live twice in 2009. First in NYC, and second at the Ulalume festival in Maryland. The NYC show was sold out and full of people, but Ulalume had pretty much no fans of DBS. I remember I just easily walked up to the front row and people didn't know who DBS was. Kid Cudi, AFI and Paramore definitely had more fans there. I don't think DBS will still be able to sell out shows like they did in 2009, but maybe they could. I would go, they were awesome live. Ryan and Chester feed off of the crowd.
