Already Over Sessions: Episode 1 [Sydney] - Mike Shinoda

Mike, just take that girl and do a tour. She is amazing.

[@damienganzer2140]

yes

If you like Bonnie's vocal work, check out her band Stand Atlantic. They've got an awesome sound, and they never fail to impress, both in recordings and live

[@BandaCero]

@@Lexi_Chi_5 Bonnie is amazing!!!

[@invisibl367]

No way, that girl is not slightly near to Chester, sorry to say it. Her try to immitate him is making her sound bad af. Her highs and lows are bad too.

[@aliciahartwell24]

Watching Mike perform is a beautiful piece of Art to me.. I love him❤

This gets noticeably more likes than Bonnie for a reason

[@foreverjian]

Holy shit. This is the first time I've heard someone sing Chester's part and thought they were perfect representing who he was but also bringing the new singer's own sound. As a huge fan, this is the first time I've thought I could see someone singing Chester's parts if LP ever toured again. Well done you guys!

[@Memories_in_Chains]

Exactly my thoughts. She has the spirit that Chester brought with his screams. And she’s unique with it. Not trying to be someone else.

[@marianneneirynck]

Exactly!! This is fantastic...She's not trying to take his 'place' ..she's just singing his part her own way..humble and respectfull. @Mike..this is the one you could bring Linkin Park to life again!

[@MatheusRuppenthal]

Yes please

[@BlueEmerald]

This is the first vocalist I've heard who I genuinely think could 1000% fill Chester's shoes and could easily stand on par with him in terms of being one of the greatest vocalists of all time. THIS is the person they need to truly front the band.

[@cayden2744]

[@químicacomoigão]

I'm back to this video after the recent rumors. I'm waiting for the return of LP with a female vocalist like her.

[@grantthompson4167]

I met her last month and asked how it was doing this and she said she was so nervous but they were so kind to her and that she will never forget the experience x

[@themikeyfrisco]

How awesome for them to be able to play with Mike but also for him to choose local artists. Bonnie did an absolutely outstanding job covering Chester’s vocals. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@joshcannon7145]

The drummer is from an Australia band called Polaris. They have released full length albums and are getting bigger in the US with metal fans. They are one of my top 3 bands of all time and cant suggest them enough. Lyrically they are a lot like LP but heavier.

[@cesota55]

Yeah is not an easy task to cover those Vocals but she did it pretty well

[@Zackies-metalhead-radio]

I liked her, but I didn't LOVE her vocals. Guess it just didn't feel the same as Chester's screaming.

[@themikeyfrisco]

@@Zackies-metalhead-radio that’s what’s hard; she’s not Chester. No one is nor ever will be. But her essence and her effort are a damn good stand-in.

[@Zackies-metalhead-radio]

​@@themikeyfriscoI went back and actually enjoyed it. Guess I'm a bit biased because I was and am a massive fan of Linkin Park.

[@Xenunt1]

Wow Bonnie almost made me cry - she has something that Chester had. Thanks for this Mike, you sound GREAT!

[@UNKLE_Lolo]

Yeah, she should join LP at least for a tour.

[@magda1812]

She made me cry. This was song I missed hearing live and Bonnie did amazing singing Chester's parts❤

[@sparkside217]

Those singers killed it on Bleed It Out, so happy those songs are gonna keep getting life in live performances

[@MpanzuSolos]

Hope he tours again, would love to see him live

[@Charlotte2041]

This girl is AMAZING!!!

[@guitar_nerd]

'Bleed It Out' with Bonnie on vocals is giving me goosebumps ❤

[@duey23]

That’s some hallowed f***ing ground Bonnie stepped onto and she did it MORE than justice. Lovely to see this and thank you Mike for sharing it with all your fans.

[@jessicapierce3027]

That Bleed it Out performance was something special. Thank you Bonnie!

[@crmyersdesigns8961]

I am shaken how amazing Bonnie was in matching Chester's verses. It's probably one of the closest vocal inspirations that I have heard, maybe ever. Mike didn't skip a beat and it felt like the classic LP, but I am still so impressed with Bonnie. There are a few key moments where Bonnies voice sounds so much like Chester's especially if you have heard his live performances and his voice is already a little strained and tired. There are just some parts that gave me goosebumps. Thanks so much for this Mike and the rest of the team. This felt so good.

[@lillypotter9368]

I feel exactly the same as you !! I wouldn't have said better really ❤

[@surfingthedarkness]

And still she didn't imitate him. It was f*** wholesome.

[@r3bel383]

As soon as I heard she was jumping on Bleed It Out I immediately knew she could kill it.

[@davep.2123]

@@reallynow00 this little girl wouldn't last doing tours. LP tours are so demanding, you need a lot more energy than her.

[@CacaBruta]

Saw this on TT, and with all due respect to Mike, this is the first time that I've enjoyed again an LP song since Chester is gone.

[@BG12sofia]

Oh my God, Mike! You sound amazing! You've been hiding that voice for all these decades, man! And lots of props for all the other musicians, especially Bonnie! She nailed Bleed it Out!

[@adventuredoods4699]

Huh? He’s been singing with LP since their inception..

[@semu8030]

He can rasp his voice, he did in many rap verses in both studio and live versions, just now he's doing it when singing more often

[@marcgw496]

@@adventuredoods4699not on Hybrid Theory and Meteora, and barely on Minutes to Midnight, but yeah dudes been singing for over 10 years now

[@PenneySounds]

I mean, "Believe Me", "No Roads Left", "Hands Held High", "The Little Things Give You Away", etc etc

[@themightybalian]

@@marcgw496 He did actually do backing vocals on all three of those albums. If you listen close, you can hear him in the background of basically every chorus on all of those albums. Actually, the harmonization between Mike and Chester is what really made their choruses stand out so much. Also, he has done lead on some demos as far as back as the Pre-Hybrid Theory days. So Far Away from the 20th Anniversary Edition of Hybrid Theory dates back to 1998 and Mike's singing is insane on it. So yeah, his singing may not have really escalated until Living Things, but it has definitely always been there. The first time I went back and listened to Hybrid Theory after hearing Mike's singing voice on No Roads Left for the first time, it blew me away just how much his singing is audible on those earlier albums. Much of what I had thought was Chester's voice all this time was actually Mike.

[@pokeyme247]

OMG!!! I didn't know how much I needed to see Mike singing LP music live again until I saw this! And well done to the other musicians in the video! Such a great performance!! -Critter #662 💗

[@krzysiek141414]

Many tried singing Bleed It Out, many failed... Meanwhile, an Aussie woman totally nailed it! And Mike sounds the best he's ever sounded on the vocals.

[@CoverBrazilian]

Well, I mean… yeah? She’s female, she can hit higher notes. The fact it takes a female vocalist to hit Chester’s notes, speaks volumes as to how amazing he was.

[@krzysiek141414]

@@CoverBrazilian That's exactly what I'm saying. I never thought about that but Chester really sung and screamed in mainly female registers. Crazy.

[@al112v4]

It's funny how a lot of 'tryhard' people, especially guys, either from YT or 'tribute' bands wanna act like Chester so close instead of including some of their own style, this lady nailed it!

[@andreaceline]

bonnie is incredible!

[@Edz519]

When i heard her it hit me hard and took me out of the song. She did okay but man not hearing chester was like ohhhh yea.. she doesnt have that grit feeling in the song.

[@krzysztofostrowski1723]

No we dont. Real LP fan dont want this. They need to leave old LP with Chester's legacy behind. Mike should create new songs for another singer.

[@TheAbsoluteSir]

​@krzysztofostrowski1723 Stfu dude. You're not one to tell anyone else who is a "real" Linkin Park fan. If they're going to tour, then they'll be playing old songs, so it'd be good to hear what she sounds like before then.

I cannot emphasize this enough, if you enjoyed this CHECK OUT THEIR BANDS!! Stand Atlantic (Bonnie) and Between You and Me (James) make some incredible pop punk, and Polaris (Daniel) just released the best metalcore album of the year last month. I've been lucky enough to see two of them live and the next time stat comes to the PNW I will be there in the pit as well. Seeing them together in this session was unreal. Keep it going Mike, you're still killing it decades later.

[@undeadsoldier813]

Yup, all fantastic stuff. Polaris's new album might be AOTY, Stand Atlantic always make good shit, and BYAM is one of my most underrated artists, seeing them live with Knuckle Puck and Real Friends was such a great show.
