Interview with Chester [FolhaTeen]

[Friðbjörn]

I sure hope there will be screaming on the album:eek:

Or else it is really too soft...

And if the tracklist was right..12 songs, they better be longs songs then, come on, they had over 150 songs, and then 12 songs on the album?I hope the tracklist was incomplete then..

well as artists they're gonna want to select they very best out of what they've written, which is a very tough process. the reason why they can cut 130+ songs out of 150 is that most have probably only made it to being rough ideas. then you've got maybe 50 "songs", and they may perhaps be perfectly happy about around 20 songs...or less

 

i really don't know what to expect:

Chester: Before, everything was presented the same way. This time around, Mike [shinoda] is singing a lot more. It may seem like he's not on the record, but he's doing a lot of the harmonics. He also sings a couple of songs alone. We're presenting ourselves in a different way. We've had a hair cut, clothing changes and, here it is, here is a new thing.

I look forward to hearing that, sheesh. looks like LP are doing a LOT of new things, that's always good.

[Tomer]

All I have to say: I am going to miss the "OLD" LP Sound. Mike&chester together in the majority of the songs. LP is not LP without mike's rapping. But at the other hand i'm looking forward to hear mike singing a whole song byhimself.

[DarknessLover]

I think the album is going to be epic absolutely EPIC

I don't think he has a whole song for himself, but only pieces of it

[Jeezy]

I don't think he has a whole song for himself, but only pieces of it

 

But Chester said that Mike sings a couple of songs alone...

[DarknessLover]

Well, Brad or soemone said there was going to be a "Drum Song" and that didn't happen, now did it?

[Linkin_lp_park]

But Chester said that Mike sings a couple of songs alone...

 

Oh, i'm sorry, i thought only pieces, hmm..interesting mike singing a whole song

[DarknessLover]

More intresting....Mike singing? I have never heard him sing, ever. Unless I am an idiot, tell me otherwise.

[Linkin_lp_park]

More intresting....Mike singing? I have never heard him sing, ever. Unless I am an idiot, tell me otherwise.

 

Yeah we heard him sing in the background, but not on his own

[DarknessLover]

Yeah, sorry, that's waht I meant.

[Friðbjörn]

he's sung live with LP obviously, and FM too, but never on an album track I think

[DarknessLover]

Yeah, I just went through them all, on Fort Minor - Believe Me's chorus, he does sing with the group....I guess

[Friðbjörn]

yeah that's the live version

album version it's all him

[DarknessLover]

Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up!

[misery]

But Chester said that Mike sings a couple of songs alone...

I think he meant he sings alone in some songs, which doesn't mean he sings alone in the whole song.

 

Just my understanding.

[DarknessLover]

Who cares!!!! It is going to be a majestic album of massive proportions!

[hellraiderz]

alright! no more RAP - ROCK songs

[DarknessLover]

Well, I wouldn't mind hearing Mike rap...I haven't heard him rap since QWERTY, and I feel a bit deprived

[xXMelancholiaXx]

Well I'm glad they're phasing out that whole "Rap Rock" thing. I'm hoping there won't be any on the album after this. I never really cared for idea of Mike rapping anyway. It was only tolerable in some cases but in some he just ruins the song for me "In the End" but the most noted example. I prefer them to just make songs like What I've Done with just Chester singing.

Yeah, I just went through them all, on Fort Minor - Believe Me's chorus, he does sing with the group....I guess

he "sings" a part of pushing me away reanimated live also

[DarknessLover]

I will need to check that out, thanks for the info!
