Linkin Park's Shinoda Builds A Fort

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

Hey, I've got an article about Mike, it just talks about The Rising Tied and what it's about, what kinda music it will feature, why it's different from Linkin Park, who appears on it, about the European tour etc Definatly worth reading!

 

Linkin Park MC/producer Mike Shinoda has beat his bandmates to the punch as the first member of the multi-platinum selling group to release a solo record. Recorded under the name Fort Minor, The Rising Tied will arrive in stores on November 22. The album features a wide variety of guest appearances from the likes of rappers Common and Black Thought of The Roots, Shinoda's Linkin Park cohort DJ Joe Hahn, R&B singer John Legend and others.

 

Shinoda tells Rolling Stone that Fort Minor's debut "was really about having fun and doing things that were kind of just for me. I wanted to work with friends, people that I saw eye to eye with, and I wanted to write and play every note if I could. I wrote every note, produced and mixed every song -- but I did bring in a choir and a string group at one point."

 

Fort Minor has played live in Europe, with the lineup consisting of Shinoda along with "three members of Styles Of Beyond and a drummer named Beat Down. We're still getting used to the material and being together on stage. And most of these are festival dates, which means we're playing in front of crowds that are anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000 people -- that's a lot for these guys. They've never really consistently played in front of this many people. They're loving it."

 

Shinoda told Rolling Stone that he made an effort to "step outside of the box" of what people might expect from a Linkin Park member's album. "There's cursing on the record; there are different kinds of topics, entirely different vibes; there's no distorted guitar," he says. "But I obviously wouldn't have done the album unless the other guys gave their blessing." "
