[@paulbrooks3232]

The amount of work as a sound engineer & mixer that Mike Shinoda put in is so understated, and the fact he doesn't tout it like, at all, shows the humility of this man. Literally he made that band, he shaped & molded Chester, and was the glue of the band all along.

[@whatiwasgoingtosay]

For real. And that's to say nothing of the way he has shouldered the responsibility of maintaining the connection with the fans over the past 5 or 6 years.

[@nickd.9882]

100% Shinoda is the GOAT and is probably the most underrated everything ever. I didn't even fully get into LP until after Fort Minor (The Rising Tied remains my favorite album of all time) and that was because I finally understood that Shinoda WAS/IS Linkin Park, period.

[@Mariooo57]

I didn't realize until this anniversary how much input he had... even during his second solo era a few years back! He's now writing with other artists and I can hear so much of his DNA and thus Linkin Park's in the new songs he's just put out with them (one with Demi Lovato, another with Kailee Morgue). It suddenly made me more appreciative of his role in the band than I had in the past two decades.

[@PrvtIdaho]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@geada7music627]

Basically you are saying Mike is a psychopath of music..

[@arfiziamri2442]

when Mike said "we got your back,Chester" and Chester said "i got you guys back man,f"ck em! " when outsiders want to pull Chester out of the band,that is so heartwarming. Loyalty at its highest level.

[@amonrei]

sounds like a movie moment to me lmao what a man Chester was

[@Mr_Battlefield]

That made me happy and sad when they talked about that moment. I wish I could have been there to experience that moment in time.

[@brentnealy-aceruffstuff3316]

Uhh

[@NowandDen83]

That made me smile 😃

[@LinkaParka]

This moment touched me so deep i even had tears in my eyes, it speaks so much about what kind of human Chester was

[@QWERTY_20717]

27:20 "I told them to go fuck themselves" 😂 - "Yesss" 😂❤ awesome (The beginning of the story 25:54 )

[@NickTasy]

It's so heartwarming to see any of them together. One of the reasons I love these guys so much is because they're so humble and down to earth. They were kids when they broke out in 2000 and they're still kids now in a sense. They haven't changed a bit in how they present themselves and act and it's something to admire. Just listening to them talk and recall memories is such a warming thing. So much love for this band and Meteora

[@system0fadowner251]

Well its important to remember, they HAVENT broken up. They aren't looking for a new singer but if something ever feels right, it could happen. Of course Chester can never be replaced and itd be a new direction, but if they ever get the inspiration or find someone they click with, I'd love for them to continue. As much as I love Chester, Mike is the true mastermind behind most their music and I'm sure Chester would want them to keep making art.

[@TheRakanow]

​@@system0fadowner251 i think Mike is going in a different direction. The others are focusing on fatherhood and other ideas as well

I hope Rob is doing alright. We haven’t really seen much from him.

[@nintendopro0391]

They don’t age at all.

[@raedewav]

I love Chester and the influence he had was unreal. But I think acknowledging the immense effort Mike Shinoda put into making LP what they were, is a must. A lot of the fanbase loves praising Chester but forgets to give Mike his due respect. Chester was the face of LP no doubt, but none of it would exist without Mike, he was the true brains behind it all. We as fans should give him his flowers while he's here.

[@TheyCallMeMrMaybe]

If LP gets back or even continues, you know replacing Chester would be inevitable, but probably in a Queen + Adam Lambert sort of way.

[@manuelper]

@@TheyCallMeMrMaybe But Queen doesn't perform new music. What LP should follow is the Joy Division/New Order blueprint. The remaining band simply changed their name and continued to make great music. There is no doubt the band can still write good music.

[@rayh6118]

[@MikeLeroi31]

I feel that man. Really speaks to how well this man can interview as well. It didn't ever sound like he was just reading off a card, but that he genuinely cared about every question and answer. Felt a bit more like old friends catching up than 3 people sat down and being poked and prodded for info.

[@Vhreez]

Whenever people ask if I could meet one celebrity… it’s Mike Shinoda. Dude ALWAYS seems happy, his talent is incredible, just seems like he’d be a cool guy to spend an afternoon with. Him and the gang really got me through some rough teenage years.

[@SteelRims]

Same here fam. Hybrid Theory and Meteora were like a pair of counselors who got me through my younger years.

[@toddprater14]

That’s why the band worked Mike is happy and his sad lyrics would not work with him singing them well as he would seem fake, Chester’s depression and sad appearance and demeanor worked singing mikes lyrics… they say opposites attract and work .,this band is a example of that

[@CoverBrazilian]

I have to say, this is by far the best interviewer I have ever seen. I have never seen an interviewer have such a genuine connection with artists like this, and be able to bring out the true humanity out of artists like this. He touched on vulnerable subjects without going too far, he steered the conversation naturally where they wanted it to be steered in, all the while expressing true, authentic love and interest for their music. I didn’t sense a single moment of “fakeness” from this interviewer. Absolutely phenomenal interviewing skills, 10/10. As a huge Linkin Park fan, I’ve seen countless interviews with the band, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen them this comfortable, and this open.

[@benouzgane1929]

[@Creature_Creative]

Same here, it breaks my heart when I think about never being able to see them at a concert. And even not listening to them as much as I have over recent years compared to then… Just trying to be grateful for the amazing music that is truly incredible, and indeed feels timeless

[@DanRickards]

First band I saw live as a 14 year old (36 now), first show of Meteora in the UK. Chester opened the show by jumping from a 15ft platform with the Welsh flag, slamming it onto the stage as one step closer started the show. Such a great memory.

[@gagypetkovic]

I will love this band forever,even if they don't continue to record new albums.

I'd be content with a "Rob has decided to step away from anything Linkin Park related in the future." It's just been radio silence from him for so long since Chester's passing that I wonder if either A) Linkin Park was just a job for him or B) Chester's passing was so tough for him that he doesn't want to participate in Linkin Park anymore.

[@athemalive]

I see it differently. Remember that Chester had a band. Had music contract with Warner before LP

[@Actuni]

26:06 Chester was the best even though he didnt even know Mike, Brad etc, he didnt let them down. He will forever be the best Singer.

[@UMANGPLAYS]

It's so good to see Brad and Dave again

[@itsangelina1485]

So great to see them back together again. 🥹

[@MrK_87]

My favourite part of the interview is how Zane interrupts and talks over them every single time they speak.

[@breakthespell22]

I don't think he does that at all. Sometimes he interrupts a bit yes, but i feel like you can really get into Mike's mind especially here. A lot of interviews are rushed and spoken over, this is really chill.

[@schmalzlog]

finally a comment I can hop on. I came from the latest interview about their comeback and recognized his interrupting and opinion/feeling expressions that at least I am not interested in... I want to hear the emotions directly from Brad, Mike and Dave. I dislike how he craves for speaking time. An interviewer should ask questions, show empathy etc. but to me he is overshooting.

[@orlandoacosta2631]

44:31 I really feel what Brad is saying. After Chester died, it was really hard for me to listen to LP again, though I still listened to A Thousand Suns whenever I was traveling. It's always been my travel/flight album. Ive been listening to LP a lot lately and this 20th anniversary boxset couldn't have come at a better time. RIP Chester. Gone but not forgotten.

[@aciinrst7659]

after listening to them the whole adolescense, I couldnt listen to the band for at least four years after it happend. it got easier now.

[@GGG_3]

honestly I'm still unable to listen to them, tho i miss their music so so much and i loved going back to watch their videos but still i can't bring myself to do it again

[@justinsayswtf]

@@GGG_3 I hope you find the strength to do so one day, but I understand if not. Everyone grieves differently and although I never met Chester, I very much still grieve for him. Linkin Park has been my favorite band since I was 10 in 2001. After Chester died it took me a while to be able to listen to their music again, but now when I listen I feel like it's a celebration of Chester's life and a way to honor him. I'm glad that his music lives on and always will.

[@neonraindrops]

I agree. I've actually just recently started listening to Linkin Park again. At the time losing Chester was too much, was painful especially since I grew up listening to these dudes. Helped me in my dark moments, but it hurt because it was all over. It hurt because the thing that had used to help take the pain away was now a source of pain. Still feel the occasional nostalgic pain but definitely able to listen to them again, and it feels good to not only to have the rest of the band but the fans and a new release with ya. I can definitely say I am happy to have been alive during this group's time in the sun.

[@RomanBellicTaxi]

It took me a few years as well. My first album was actually Live In Texas, which I would sing my heart out with my cousin who lived a block away from me. This band is the very first reason I'm a musician. It wasn't until a few months ago, I talked to a friend on a podcast he has (that I used to edit) and I mentioned it, and then he asked me to run down the album sometime on the future. I did it a few weeks ago and though the audio was obviously edited the experience for me was filled with tears and laughs and sadness and joy. Quite a rollercoaster. After that, it was kind of opening this old box and putting things on display again, this time on the living room, with pride.

[@jonathanrs705]

If there’s any chance any of the band members read this, I would love to just take the time to say Thank You. Whenever I felt alone, lost, unappreciated, misguided, etc, you all were there to put some perspective and comfort in my life. I grew up in the time were, us guys, were told to not show emotion. Listening to you guys helped me FEEL, happiness, excitement, sadness, anger, and everything in between. I genuinely wouldn’t be the person I am today, at times I don’t think I’d still be here, without Linkin Park. You guys will always be a part of my life. Thank you. ♥️

[@arjunkaliyath6389]

That story about Chester was so touching. Really admire the brotherhood shared by these guys. You don't normally see bands that go through such a dizzying period of stardom and remain together at the end of it. Linkin Park survived and i think that is a big credit to the six of them.

[@Mvinifeijo]

Seems like they're having a breath on their lifes and now they're looking to their past with so much more grateful eyes. Not that they weren't grateful, but they lived 20 years of being deep working on music and touring nonstop. Now with the "normal life" hitting them for more than 5 years now, they can look back and appreciate everything awesome that happened in their lifes. I love this new nostalgic vibes they seem to be living. The opposite of taking for granted all they had the chance to be a part of.

[@aesthete18]

I remember when I first saw One Step Closer, I was like "pffttt, who are these posers with red hair and hanging up side down". Then some time went by - and I didn't have a radio or anything back then, the school bus didn't have a radio - so my first listen was always through the music videos. One day, a song comes on within like 15 seconds there's this sound break that was an incredible sound that till this day I don't know what it is except that it might be from the guitar, and then BOOM! the chorus hits and they're all in like this bullet time (which was all the hype back then) sort of movement which goes with the chorus' rhythm. It truly awakened something inside of me musically. Even though I was already listening to Slipknot the prior year and grew up on Michael Jackson, I truly fell in love with music and became a rocker after Crawling.

The moment I heard about Chester’s death, I stopped listening to LP until recently. I just now started revisiting all their albums. I couldn’t listen to his voice and lyrics, because they turned into thorns. I couldn’t listen to Chester’s pain because I started realizing he was really hurting and I couldn’t relive his pain over and over. But now so much time has passed and I can listen to these songs and lyrics again and they don’t hurt as much as they did when he passed. I just got older and accepted the loss of my favorite musician and person in the show biz. I didn’t know him in person but felt like I knew him through his performances, interviews, behind the scenes and the band’s stories about him. The more I listen to their songs and watch interviews with Chester the more I feel like his is still around. My mind is playing tricks on me but I will never let him go ❤ By the way, not even one celebrity death affected me like Chester’s death did. It’s insane!

I literally remember picking up Meteora on release day as a 12 y/o mega fan in the UK. Was so hyped.

[@yosode]

My first memory of Linkin Park was watching a TV ad promoting Hybrid Theory with Chester screaming at the camera singing Crawling.. I was out of my mind. After that I had a mixed relationship with their music with love and hate at the same time, but always I respect them musically no matter what. Times passes by little while and I became super fan finally in the process. I just understand his movement after all I must say. Meteora is a great album work too and I'm so glad hearing those stories of Chester watching the back of the band when people was so bad with the rest of them at that time. LP 4ever.

So great to see the band back together. They will always be my number one band even if they dont make more music or albums.Their music is fire. Truly legendary band

[@jacobcorcho2518]

The last few grateful statements they gave each other 😭 I teared up, thank you for this incredible video❤️

[@nathanclarke2777]

3 Legends together. it is so good to watch this interview. I've known Linkin Park since 2004, My friend Kaka played a song which was "from the inside" and this one is still my most favorite song. thank you Zane Lowe for the session. Chester you're so special and i will always miss you for saving me when i was unable to help myself as i was so heartbroken. I thank God for giving me this opportunity to share this special moment with ya'll. Linkin Park #1 ❤💯💥💎 i miss Mr. Hahn, and Rob

[@joyjoyz778]

Amazing interview!!! I love that Zane said everything I'm sure all of us fans wanted to tell them there at the end of the interview 🥺❤

I thought the exact same thing! 😢❤

Yes!!

[@Avenged666]

Chester was a great performer and had a great voice. Certain parts of songs were heavy and he gave it his all, same with slow ones that required finesse and feeling, he could do that too, he played his part brilliantly. I think Crawling was the song that shot you to the masses. A thousand suns is still way ahead of its time, its a beautiful story, with a powerful message and music you can dream too. I loved the tour of that album watching the videos on stage accompanying your live performance.

[@DakotaDS]

Thank you Mike, Brad, Joe, Dave, Rob and Chester for these timeless pieces of art. You all are beautiful human beings. I love you all.

[@ronsil5582]

This is insane to me! Chester is my idol, He idolised Dapech Mode, and my Mum dated the lead singer of Dapech Mode in school growing up. What a circle of influence!!

[@fromcali2tn]

I named my ChesterB because your music helped me through a really tough time in my life, and it just felt so right at the time. Chester had just passed, and it was my way of thank you, guys, and remembering Chester. Thank you guys so much! R.I.P Chester

Brad aged so well, so did Mike and Dave. Soooo lovely to see them together honestly.. Part of my life right there. I haven't seen Rob in a while or Hann, miss them all.

[@al112v4]

Haven’t seen Brad in a long time like this.

[@rodolfobuitrago6909]

I loved thos last words, there are so many questions I want to ask that are not my business… I relate to that because they obviously gave us so much that it would be unfair to put them in the spot and ask those questions, the important thing is we are here, we love you guys and there’ll always be that connection Thank you Linkin Park

[@UlrikeLP]

Aaaaah.... Finally we see BBB again! But where is Rob😢😢

[@hehehahabaa43253]

It's so awesome hearing them say that Aphex Twin and Squarepusher directly influenced them! You can really tell on Cure For The Itch, I bet Mr. Hahn is a huge fan!

[@yi6958]

This interview is so awesome. More than 40 mins of length allows deep conversation to happen, and the host did an amazing job leading both direction and rhythm of the conversation.

[@GGG_3]

wow before watching this I'm seeing ppl in the comments talking about Zanes connection with them, this man is a legend I've gained so much more respect for him about this interview

[@theallamericannightmare4163]

Chester Bennington greatest voice in music history 🤘💯. Rest in peace and paradise 🙏🏻. Love Chester Bennington

[@LMTF35]

Every song from meteora could have been a single because it's a perfect album.

[@saint123abc123]

How can it be that someone i didn't meet, know or talk to could have such an impact on my life and soul. I'm in my 50's and love LP from the beginning. Chester touched millions of people in the world, yet left us all way to early. I miss him everyday, i wished that I or someone could of helped him in his dark moments and stopped him from leaving all his family and LP soldiers who adored him.
