comments September 14, 2008 it's time once again for a session of MIKE RESPONDS TO FAN COMMENTS :) in response to the W.O.W. art post... POSTED BY LEIZA
wowza. that's just amazing. i wish i had skills like that... makes me jealous of people who can paint realisticly. and about "lost in translation"... you might appreciate this mike...http://www.engrish.com//wp-content/uploads/2008/08/smoking-concert.jpg MIKE SAYS: "tasty lighter is not drive," ha! incredibly, i think i've seen more designs like this than i'd care to admit in japan and korea. my brother once saw a sign in the subway in japan that was meant to tell people not to sit in a certain area, but instead said "please, no shitting here" POSTED BY MAX_PAYN
I have a really important question, this is really important, Mike. A Korean artist named "Nancy lang" (or rang? I don't know) insists that she created the album art of 'Reanimation'. I don't know whether she used alias or used her real name, anyway she is a Korean female pop artist. She insists that she was requested to participate in the cover art of 'Reanimation' by Warner Bros., and she created the cover art. Is that true? Then howcome there is no name of her in the album credits? Though I don't believe her, I need to know is this true.
She is using likinpark's name for her fame. Please tell me is that true Mike? Was the cover art of 'Reanimation' created by this Korean artist? MIKE SAYS: not true...i did the art. i also basically do not post anywhere online except here and linkinpark.com, and i don't send fans direct emails, so if you're heard otherwise, you are being deceived...

Or Brad with his Lvl. 5 Headphones of Silence...I heard those are rare and hard to come by MIKE SAYS: hilarious!!! hahaha
 oh yeah, check out this amazing art chester and i did. not exactly art show material, but... http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/ManBearPigLPU/PR%25202008/817%2520Noblesville%25202008/IMG_1306.jpg

bret mikels shinoda and axl rosington pt.2 August 22, 2008 here's the rest of the dress-up goodness...as chester said, "you know, sometimes you just can't take yourself too seriously."
________________________________________________
bret mikels shinoda and axl rosington August 18, 2008 some of you may have heard about our onstage dress-up antics from the show a couple nights ago. i haven't seen the videos up online yet, but i'm sure some of you have them...anyway, the question is, "why?" answer: because backstage in the early part of an afternoon can sometimes be a boring place for the band. the show is being set up, and unless you leave the site, your options for entertainment are limited to whatever you bring. and sometimes, when you've been on tour on and off for 18 months, you need to bring some excitement to the party--something new and random.
the wigs showed up, and we couldn't help but to bring them out on stage (for no real reason whatsoever). for the last song of the night, chester and i dressed up like '80s rock stars. chester was better at the "moves" than i was, but i felt like my golden locks made up for it. we were something like the nelson twins meets axl rose meets bret michaels meets "the rep from the guitar company who always comes to our shows and gets wasted, then starts hitting on all the girls and embarrassing himself, but shows up the next time we come into town as if the last time never happened." yes, we did it completely spur-of-the moment. yes, we mashed up bleed it out and sweet child o' mine...poorly. and yes, it was fun. photos coming soon. mike EDIT:
PS, we're nominated for an MTV VMA for best rock video. thanks to everyone who voted

GLXS (DIES) in january // WEMIX contest now August 8, 2008 It's a little far off, but Glorious Excess will be continuing (and concluding) in January. This will be the second half of the show that just concluded in LA this month. To celebrate the show, I've partnered with WeMix.com, a site partially created by Ludacris; it's a place for new musicians to collaborate, and a place for fans to discover new up-and-coming artists. I have a new contest up there right now. Using my GLXS art as a theme, go to WeMix.com, upload your original songs, beats, vocals. I'm going to pick my 5 favorite songs, and then the WeMix community will vote for the winner. The winner will go straight into the studio to record a full version of their song. I'll join you to personally help out. To go right to my WeMix contest, click HERE: http://www.wemix.com/contest.aspx?ctid=1258

SOBs July 20, 2008 Q: mike, why do you keep putting up scars on broadway stuff?
A: because i think its great. check out their new video: http://dam.dvs.tv/IGA/ScarsOBTheySay.mpg Q: speaking of "S.O.B.'s" what's going on with styles of beyond?
A: we ran into some snags with getting their record out. the album is done, but some of the behind-the-scenes legal/record label stuff turned into a mess. long story short, the guys are hanging in there. keep in touch with styles of beyond at: http://www.myspace.com/stylesofbeyond make sure to check out "don't feel bad"(featuring RZA of Wu Tang Clan). incidentally, SOB/demigodz have some new t-shirts up that are incredible. get 'em!

PROJEKT REVOLUTION BOSTON July 17, 2008 a portion of the review of the 1st projekt revolution show in boston... LINKIN PARK PROJEKTS IMAGE OF SUCCESS "It takes titanic theatrics to wow a crowd before the sun goes down, and Busta Rhymes’ set was adequately animated. On “Scenario,” which dropped before many in the crowd were born, and through more recent cuts such as “Break Ya Neck,” Rhymes touched ladies without alienating guys. The man doesn’t just rap, he miraculously manipulates his mind, mouth and microphone. Brooklyn’s The Bravery opened with its barroom anthem, “Believe,” and worked through the hilariously titled “Every Word From Your Mouth Is a Knife In My Ear.” Ex-Soundgarden and Audioslave front man Chris Cornell followed with a strong hour of old and new material, from “Black Hole Sun” to songs off his upcoming third solo disc. Cornell’s cool Euro look and hard, angelic vocals still get girls gushing and guys envying - especially when Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington joined him for Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike.” Aside from the obligatory light display and a colorful intro by the percussionist trio Street Drum Corps,Linkin Park came with no gimmicks - just a recognizable catalogue 10 times deeper than the band’s early critics would have ever imagined. It’s hard to admit this, but watching Linkin Park tear up their set last night led to one conclusion: The California-born rap-rockers have evolved into everything a stadium band should be: anomalously audible, sincere and, most importantly, metaphysically connected to their maniacal fans. Linkin Park, with Busta Rhymes, Chris Cornell, The Bravery and others. At the Comcast Center, Mansfield, last night." entire article here: http://news.bostonherald.com

GLXS begins July 13, 2008 great piece on the show by the hundreds. (thanks for dropping by, fellas) http://www.thehundreds.com/wordpress/ coverage to come on current tv and juxtapoz. BTW, some images of the art are floating around...it's too bad you can't really get a feel for the pieces from the images online. most of the pieces are around three to four feet tall. the one that you see on the splash page (and the background here) is called "ICON." as you can tell in the close-up shot, there's a ton of detail that you miss when you're not standing in front of the actual piece. ICON is 8 feet tall by 6 feet wide, slightly metallic, and made up of thousands of dollar signs. yes, i placed each one by hand. the show is open at the japanese american national museum now through august 3rd. please drop by and check it out.
