But just the physical grind of it is just amazing. You never get sleep, you never get correct sleep if you are on a bus,
you know you're moving all the time. You go from concert to bus, to hotel, to concert, to bus, to hotel and do it all over again.
On the other hand we get to see a lot of stuff and you can sleep on your days off. So and you know with airplanes and all that kind of routine,
I don't have to tell you now, after our unfortunate 911 that that's just make it 10 times more difficult. I can't imagine how the roadies do it.
Having the card and everything onto the plane, get everything checked. They must have to be there five hours before flight.
So it's a grind I think that's what gets more people than anything else in this business.
I went on vacation for a week to Caribbean and I came back with no tan, so it's kind of embarrassing. *You'll get the chance to diaper ,
it's okay, you look pretty good. Thanks man. You are at tan free age.
You also have the problem internally as being square members may not agree with each other. And being have a time to see a break up.
So in terms of the most challenging aspect, so I guess in fact you gotta make a plan for everything.
You can come in the morning with the best laid plans and put you a plan to do to records today. But one phone call can send you off on a tangent.
Have to deal with the problems cancellations or shows there may not be selling as many tickets as you up to, and you may have to go to a smaller group.
You or weather problems, artists potentially not wanting to play at certain dates. It's a multitude of problems.
So what does the future hold for Linkin Park.
So far, with the CD with Hybrid Theory, I'm a big fan.
This is an absolutely excellent CD and I'm just hoping that the next one that they release is just as good as this one.
Because then I definitely will be a fan for a very long time.
Just play focus on our shows and our fans, and that's like pretty much all about it. Like playing shows for our fans,
like getting down there, like talking to as many of them as you can and hang out.
I think that is also a key like the reason why we're getting this acceptable beginning so fast, in fact, like we kind of have a connection with our fans,
and the fans are the best fans in the world.
Oh, I think they can't wait. They totally sold out every show that they did and I think certain ,
certain band if you keep the bill then you keep the press a little bit
and you're still hitting the radio market, which is a huge, huge importance in the United States.
If we don't have a radio hits, it's dumbly impossible to sell a lot of records. And you know if they have that one hitting and it's still charting,
it's still being played and or another hit two, five years down the line they can release another record and still be ,you know, big.
Some of the bands critics described them as a manufactured rock boy band. SCREW YOU, man,  you could only dream that you were this good.
The words that they're saying are like they're down to earth and like it might be picked up as trendy and like, since their music is really good,
everyone might start liking it. So, therefore they might like, give that kind of name because they're popular because people understand where they are coming from,
but I think they're a little bit different than other bands might be. Definitely I don't think they are like metal boy band something.
Following the success of their debut album, the guys have decided to release a remix album.
Looks like you metal heads are going to have a bit more hip hop in your lives.
Let's say if you make you know good music when you believe in yourself and you personally had never give up.
That's no way that you can lose. At some point you'll get, you'll get your chance,at some point you will succeed and I don't know that success may be,
but at some point you know you'll get your justice on you.
Well, my advice to them would be my wise would lead to anybody who try to conquer anything, which would be just don't give up. No matter what happens,
no matter what rational thought pattern goes to your head that you feel like ok it's better if I go do this instead of this.
If you really want to be successful in music,
through the ups and downs, the hard times, the days that it seems like it's just not meant for you, don't give up.

I don't know, people say it's the world's toughest business. I think life in general is as tough as you make it, you know.
And I always figured we're not saving lives we're making music and we , sometimes you will get a perspective like it's songs and it's making people happy.
It's real simple, if, it doesn't matter who we are, how good we are, what we do in the industry, without the talent, without the artist,
there is no business, and eventually comes back to the talent. You can have quick hits that are made in the studio by producers sounds.
But over a long period of time the accent sell of big numbers, have the big album sells are artists with unique talents.
And without those we don't really have a business,
and if you look at the history of the business the Beatles all the way,  the great artists are bound to talent,
without that, you know without the talent I wouldn't have a job.
Even the team fans, I think we might have been talking to them, talking about them today as if they're,
you know, kind of sheep being lead around. I also think they're very fickle and they're very sophisticated too.
I think to a large extent it does come down to the music and for the hooks to the songs and not to say that
anyone with great, great songs are great hooks is going to make it.
But I think without that even the sale list projects might not succeed.
Whatever happens to Linkin Park, you can expect these guys to continue doing great music.
They've come a long way since their beginning, and they're still only on their first album. You can be sure there has to be more to come.
I think a second album does take longer. I think when a band had a first album that's been very successful,
then they tend to worry about the failure of the second album as if that's gonna make them break their career. You know they have second album with guides,
we never gonna do well again, you know I think I think sometimes people are a little too serious about it.
I'd say if you don't like you know alternative type of music, if you just check them out and listen to their albums,
I can guarantee you all of those songs at least like half of them at least even if you didn't like that type of music.
Yeah, basically just give them a chance and try .You will be guaranteed to like them.
