AMV's was actually how I discovered LP. I remember in 2006 watching DBZ & Naruto videos and then I stumbled onto an amv that had In The End. Such great times

Mike took the afternoon off to do these interviews back to back. What a sport!

Its all part of the job

Dude I noticed that too! He’s got on the same hoodie, and he’s oriented the same way in the studio, so he just banged these out! As per usual, I’m so interested to listen to each to see if a new nugget of information uncovers itself. But man you’re right, props to Mike 🤝❤️

My favorite thing is how many Gen Alpha kids are bumping LP now because of, “Lost,” saying, “This doesn’t sound old at all,” and I’m glad to know I’m not biased. The main thing? In late September (6 months ago) Mike posted a video with Dave on Instagram because LP joined, “The Billions Club,” and were sent a gold plaque by Spotify for, “In The End,” hitting 1 BILLION streams right? That took from the inception of Spotify to late 2022 (over a decade) for them to get to one billion: 6 months later? They’re at 1.5 billion on, “In The End!” It’s insane watching how many new, younger fans are jumping on from, “Hybrid Theory 20,” and, “Lost/Meteora 20.” With ‘Lost’ in particular I’m seeing a LOT of people onboard, and I watched the streams on, “In The End,” just go through the roof over the last couple of months. It’s insane 🥳🤝❤️
