[@marjoow4597]

‘Was that cool’?. Love him so much. Born to make art and music, I’m a LP fan since 2000 and LOVE the Post Traumatic album.

[@evamoor2377]

Agreeing so much. I was 14 when I got Hybrid Theory on cassette tape, and here I am, in my thirties, still with them. I'm amazed by this ability of his: no matter what is the situation, he makes art out of it, in such a natural way. Hard rock album, electric smash fest, sock puppets, stop-motion videos, art shows, absolutely anything. Somehow what he does helps the souls we carry connect to each other. That came out weird, but I hope it's understandable :)

[@marjoow4597]

Eva Moor. Yes very much so! Same here. But I have hybrid on CD ;-) watching this video makes me want to buy all their albums on vinyl 😍

[@rowenchaos]

Guys trust me HE IS GENUINE. I meant him and the band in 2015. You talk to him for 5 mins and you get a sense of comfortably and almost like you know him personally.

[@evamoor2377]

Even though I've had that impression always, it's nice to see confirmation from someone who actually had the pleasure to meet them. Warms my heart to know that he IS the real deal. Thanks for sharing!

[@BodywiseMustard]

A sense of comfortably? Comfort?

[@gardenrose34]

I really want to meet him one day before I die. I want to tell him how much he means to me and how he made my life 10 times better by literally just existing.

[@bit_sean8001]

Never been the biggest Linkin Park fan but impressed by his taste, gotta say

[@andyq9669]

Agreed, don't know much about Linkin but this was a tasty little selection.

[@michalfaic1332]

He is a music nerd and that's why they are so versatile musically.

[@Jalushun]

Mike Shinoda's my idol because of his odd tastes. He's been my favorite since 2005 when he went solo with some of his projects. What's even cooler is the way his tastes inspire him and the way people assume that his music style would be closer to metal, but it's genuinely not.

[@iamstewpit6740]

Whether you like Linkin Park or not, I think we can all still respect Chester Bennington's passing. RIP Chester Bennington.

[@tutsybassista]

A great "Musician" ALWAYS appreciates and respects a wide variety of music in ALL GENRES! That's how bands evolve....🎶

[@SamFerndz]

Most rational comment here

[@andyq9669]

It's like food or beer, life is boring if you limit your diet. Different moods, different musics. This is another downside to subscription/digital download; you used to be able to walk into someone's living room, check out their LP collection and you'd know what kind of person they were in a minute.

[@evamoor2377]

YES! I never understood the bitching about how nothing they make compares to Hybrid Theory. There would be no genuineness left in them if they kept repeating the same stuff until eternity. Drawbar, In my remains, Wretches and Kings...every album is packed with fucking treasures and I think this mindset is the thing that made that possible. It's such a relief to know that there are people out there who think like you.

[@douglasmijangos3327]

It’s funny how so many people hate on LP newer stuff and hate that they evolved so much ... c’mon it’s been like over 20 yrs since they’ve listen to them for the first time and they expect them to sound the same 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m guessing those are the same people who hate on bands that don’t change their and and don’t evolve at all ... and bitch that they’re tired of listening to the same thing album after album.... 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s cool to hear Mike’s level of excitement about what he considers classics, considering he was part of a classic.

The twinkle in Mike's eyes when he's talking about his favorite albums and about "the band" is priceless. Great, real, and natural session right here. Thanks for sharing.

[@CrenshawMoreno]

One of the better "What's In My Bag" episodes. The guy is humble and so damn appreciative of music as a whole.

[@cardigansarecool]

Not a Linkin Park fan personally, but obviously they mean shit to a lot of people and he seems like a nice dude with cool taste.

He is amazing and means so much to me too. I appreciate your comment ❤️

[@ReidGarwin]

Thank you

[@evamoor2377]

I know they obviously are not the very top of music, but yes, they definitely mean a lot of shit to me, because somehow their music always touches my heart. I love many that are in some aspects better, but none of those reach my soul the way Linkin Park does. So I'm really thankful for your comment, that's such an amazing approach to things you may not like, but understand that others do. Thanks

[@karaames2003]

"Was that cool?" Omg, Mike is such a sweetheart

[@saravus99]

It’s kinda sad to see him sitting there alone doing an “interview” because I got used to seeing him do interviews with Chester... But I really like his music even though I normally don’t like rap but probably because I can relate to what he sings about... and he just seem like a very kind and friendly person

[@trychaser2518]

There are videos on KZbin of Linkin park in their early years in which Joe mentions Aphex Twin as an influence (I believe the making of the one step closer video is one of them, and the other is one of the vids with the Hybrid Theory rehearsals). Its always been the one element that makes their early work so special to me. It was never about how the songs were so much heavier and whatnot. To me, it was the atmosphere that was captured in the early Linkin Park songs that made them stand out, and if you pay attention to the sounds in those songs, thats straight up AFX style. It's cool to hear Mike talk about this stuff, it is an important part of Linkin Parks sound that seems to get overlooked a lot.

[@sebastiansantander9365]

It's all about the glitchy break beats and crazy scratch noises !

[@CelticMudkip]

Great taste and well spoken dude. Hope he's healing well after what he's been through.

[@evamoor2377]

I've seen him on his show in Vienna a month ago. Wouldn't say he was fully okay, got quite emotional during some songs (like Heavy...), but I had the impression that both the album and the tour are his way of healing. Evening was an emotional roller-coaster for him&us all - and he's made such a great show, too! Good taste, good man, kind soul.

Sad that there's a lot of people who don't know who Mike is! He's a huge influence of mine for art! I always recognized him as the mastermind of Linkin Park and his respect for rap is second to none. A lot of depth to him and I'll always appreciate that. Mike and Chester were two sides of a coin. I hope he gets more fans!

I'm going to see him in San Francisco in early November. Looking forward to it. Been watching videos of his European tour and have loved what I've been seeing, especially in Cologne (Koln). I saw him in Los Angeles in May at Identity LA, which was really good, but as the tour has progressed, he's gotten more comfortable being on stage, and more confident as well. His journey is our journey, and I so appreciate it.

It very interesting to see where they got their influences from when recording Hybrid Theory.

[@Vishnu-xn4vx]

Happy to see Mike doing well :) not a big LP fan, but he is just an amazing guy

[@TheAmateurEditor]

I'm not sure he is doing all that well. You can see it in his eyes there's still a profound sadness and I recently saw one of his live concerts where he asked the audience to sing Chester's part when he performed In The End and he looked in pain, desperately trying to hold back the tears. I don't think he will ever be whole again.

[@evamoor2377]

Same feeling here...there's a hollowness to his eyes that wasn't there before. This is going to stay with him/them - but it's understandable, isn't it. Losing a loved one like that tears a hole in you that won't ever mend. I was on his Vienna gig a month ago and felt like he was putting up a smile sometimes because he wanted to feel good (or wanted us to feel good), not because he actually had a great time. In other parts of the show, we had so much fun. His concert is like an emotional roller-coaster, coming from a genuine, great, pretty much still hurting guy. I admire his bravery in exposing himself this way and hope it helps him heal.

[@TheAmateurEditor]

I really do think Mike feels a lot of survivor's guilt. He knew Chester had his demons and he helped him create music that helped him and millions of others, including myself, but ultimately, it just wasn't enough. I can't begin to imagine what that must feel like, that you couldn't help someone so close to you from taking their lives. It's easy for us to say that Mike should be proud of how much he helped Chester while he was here and that without him, Chester might have died years ago, but I doubt that this is much of a consolation for Mike. Hopefully with time he will be able to look back and see that he helped Chester achieve so much in his short time in this world.
