| [00:05.420] |
Before I go and buy the album ,I download the available MP3 stuff in the internet . |
| [00:10.018] |
I check the other songs just to make sure that there is more than just the two singles that have been released . |
| [00:15.295] |
And if the entire CD sounds like something I'd be interested in then I go out and purchase the CD |
| [00:20.859] |
In fact ,not wanting web surfer to find a bunch of the American parks when they were looking for the band online . |
| [00:26.475] |
The guys decide to change the spelling of the band's name . |
| [00:29.897] |
With that the familiar Linkin Park spelling was created ,and the all important.com was created |
| [00:37.995] |
Oh yeah I think definitely the internet thing is um it hasn't been...it has not been overrated as far as what it's done for music . |
| [00:48.810] |
It's just you can you know you can um I can make a sound right now put an MP3 format and E-mail to max amount of people you know . |
| [00:59.337] |
A those people would hear .All of those people might be the NARC people ,maybe they would trash it or whatever ,but that's not the point . |
| [01:04.483] |
The point is if I wanted to I could do it and a lot of people are doing it . |
| [01:07.984] |
Napster ,I mean ,there's been groups that are small and just getting off the ground back to independent record thing and they're not on the radio, |
| [01:16.186] |
but they're on Napster .So people go to Napster and they can immediately download that song that builds up the hype . |
| [01:21.698] |
A lot of different thing I see people on MP3.com that are earning money . |
| [01:27.915] |
I haven't got into all that .That's not really my thing .I'd rather sell the mix-tapes on the street make money that way . |
| [01:33.140] |
But for the people who are into that ,hey you know I think that the internet definitely has changed the way people get their music out there. |
| [01:42.100] |
|
| [01:50.015] |
I personally think that in theory ,yes ,it could be beneficial in application I don't know that it is. |
| [01:55.892] |
The fact that or maybe 200,000 or 2,000,000 songs available on the internet for somebody to listen to doesn't mean |
| [02:03.206] |
that somebody is going to take the time to actually go through and listen to 30 seconds of each song . |
| [02:08.144] |
So consequently with the internet it became more of a concept of preaching the converters that the artist that |
| [02:14.204] |
people are hearing on a radio and seeing videos on MTV and various other video programs , |
| [02:19.402] |
those artists are getting most hits on the internet just because you can put a video . |
| [02:26.220] |
We're showing on the internet is not necessarily mean anybody going to listen to or review it and so in theory ,yes , |
| [02:30.687] |
the fact that you could access all of this information and this music is great and in application it doesn't seem to really have been that the factual yet . |
| [02:39.229] |
As the technology changes ,who knows what could happen in the future? |
| [02:44.689] |
|
| [02:50.018] |
Hip hop is part of American culture ,and some say that DJs are metals new heroes , |
| [02:55.373] |
following in the footsteps of bands such as Korn and Limp Bizkit ,Linkin Park incorporated DJ as well as MC into their lineup. |
| [03:03.863] |
To me ,hip hop is taking over and it's taking over everything it's taking over fashion , |
| [03:07.468] |
it's taking over speech ,so the rock will really can't escape it .They kind of have no choice ,you know what I'm saying ? |
| [03:15.383] |
And not every rock band or not every good rock band, but I'm going as far as listening to Metallica songs randomly |
| [03:21.130] |
and hear like a pause I was like ,wait a second ,it sounds like a DJ stopping the record in the song started again |
| [03:27.138] |
I mean ,that's Metallica they probably they might not have even acknowledged because the rest of the song didn't have wrapping or scratching |
| [03:33.381] |
or but to me it's just taking over ,so they have no choice and it's just that's the evolution of music to me. |
| [03:42.759] |
Because like rock used to be like more like a culture ,like almost kind of a movement in the 50s and 60s, |
| [03:49.028] |
and it's not anymore .Now it's just ,it's cool it's music ,but hip hop is like what rock used to be . |
| [03:54.984] |
So just like rock influenced Jazz and Blues and took it to a certain level ,that's what hip hop is doing with the influence of the earlier rock . |
| [04:02.586] |
Sure but you know I feel like the most successful rock bands have tune tables now because people just want hip hop |
| [04:10.214] |
|
| [04:26.802] |
I think the Hip hop influence on alternative music ,it does add a little bit more spice . |
| [04:32.496] |
I personally like hardcore just you know ,I like the fact that when there is just guitars and stuff like that ,but Linkin Park , |
| [04:41.117] |
the fact that they do have a DJ with their music is absolutely excellent . |
| [04:45.453] |
So yeah I do think that have that hip hop influence does make it more interesting ,more exciting. |
| [04:54.047] |
|
| [04:58.723] |
It just depends on how open the band is ,really ,because you know a tune table you can do anything . |
| [05:05.646] |
You can make melodies with it I mean you can you could even make like a baseline like you can be the basis in a song . |
| [05:13.117] |
Bass player could stop playing . You could be the drummer for a song it depends on how open the band is |
| [05:16.904] |
'cause I feel like sometimes a lot of rock bands that don't understand it .They feel like it's too loud in the mix . |
| [05:23.383] |
They may be hate on it a little bit .They feel like it's taken over their job . |
| [05:28.137] |
umm it's just like I said ,it depends on how much the band will appreciate what you're doing |
| [05:33.440] |
and allow you to write music without being scared of you taking over basically . |
| [05:38.952] |
I have a unique take on that whole issue because there was a facet of rap music that I am one of the pioneer of which is kind of the Chicago Sound , |
| [05:51.255] |
Midwestern or whatever you want to call it in rap .Initially and the people around me all felt like these people are taking from me , |
| [06:03.820] |
these people are taking from me .And as I thought about it , I realized that they're not necessarily taken from me |
| [06:09.698] |
what they're doing is they are taking what I do and making it more acceptable to people who hadn't heard me ,or that I may not have been able to reach . |
| [06:20.983] |
I don't really know Rock music was dead ,but it's just that because Hip hop has just a strong force in essence , |
| [06:35.533] |
once it is connected with anything else is just so much energy and so much life added to it where just makes whatever , |
| [06:45.224] |
whatever it was before that ,just look just that much smaller then , once rapped it's connected |
| [06:52.904] |
and add all much more to it in the part two ,it just looks so much bigger . |
| [06:56.744] |
Critics and fans alike can't deny that Linkin Park's Joseph Hann is far from average metal DJ , |
| [07:03.902] |
mix with MC talent of Mike and it's not hard to see how Linkin Park take the Hip Hop metal crossover up to the next level . |
| [07:12.261] |
You just can't ignore those big bad group . |
| [07:16.023] |
I think a lot . There's a lot of parts on the record that many people wouldn't even know are the DJ at that point. |
| [07:22.632] |
There 's a lot of sound effects that people don't necessarily associate with the DJ because it's not a scratch |
| [07:32.219] |
or it's not a particular performance part ,it's just it's a nice sound effect . |
| [07:37.443] |
It kind of sits and sits in the back in the mix , but has so much to the song . |
| [07:41.074] |
So yeah ,just that opposed to live performance kind of thing ,a lot of scratching ,that type of thing. . |
| [07:50.086] |
You may kick ass on stage ,but it's no good unless the band can jump around to it at home too . |
| [07:56.539] |
The guys has put six tracks CD out when they were called Hybrid Theory to get the ball rolling . |
| [08:01.894] |
But this only had limited release .What they really wanted was a full out album . |
| [08:07.876] |
With Warner Bros paying the bill ,the guys found themselves at NRG studio . |
| [08:13.257] |
It was here that the guys pulled out all those songs they've hidden over the years. |
| [08:18.220] |
umm, basically the first day of the session is a set up day ,everybody comes in ,you know they set up the instrument how they feel most comfortable , |
| [08:28.983] |
the engineer spend the day basically get the sound There is not a lot of performing recording goes on in the first day . |
| [08:37.159] |
Be a bunch of people spend 6 to 8 weeks here just kind like moving in to a kind of join a college through a first day |
| [08:42.305] |
just getting settled in and kind of you know make myself feel at home and then other days spend here getting a lot of sound . |
| [08:49.855] |
Do the basic set up process and then from there the ****the recording process generally starts with drums . |
| [09:01.845] |
Generally the first thing that's get recorded and everything just build on top of that . |
| [09:09.420] |
Generally when the drums are recorded ,everybody playing along .Everybody else in the insurance are just considered scratch tracks , |
| [09:17.884] |
which may or may not get used in the final product ,generally not . |
| [09:21.593] |
And then after that ,that's really the only time the band full band plays together , |
| [09:27.053] |
after that everybody is recording their part individually .Overdubbing process is called . |
| [09:34.367] |
