Complex Entertainment has posted a 47-minute interview with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda on their YouTube channel. Mike sits down with Noah Callahan-Bever, host of Complex's Idea Generation segment, to run through a full restrospective of both his and Linkin Park's career. The two discuss Mike's career at length, including his early artistic influences in high school, the formation of Xero with Mark Wakefield, the marked shift of Minutes to Midnight, the passing of lead singer Chester Bennington, and of course the return of Linkin Park with From Zero. You can watch the full video below! Let us know your thoughts on this in-depth interview with Mike and come discuss in our forums! Source: Complex on Youtube via @juancpin
Yeah I thought it was pretty cool too. Lots of deep cut LP lore references like the David Kahne mix of "Plaster," which I thought was pretty cool! Nothing groundbreaking but nice to hear Mike talk about all these things.
I found it really cool, as he was not asked about the usual and mandatory questions. A bit on the creative path and motivation. And also some LP history too. PS, with the years, I find Mike a calmer person. A grown up and kind adult. A wise friend.
