| [00:09.91] |
I think with all the bands like the sounds are individually molded by the engineer ,the producer that they are using . |
| [00:18.45] |
I do know the engineers and producers , though , that actually can tell . |
| [00:22.00] |
They listen to an album and they know which studio which room it was recorded in . |
| [00:26.42] |
So obviously , you know ,there are merits within different tracking room for different control rooms . |
| [00:31.38] |
They do affect the sound ,so I do think it's very important to have like a true control room for listening and you have a great great sounding tracking room . |
| [00:43.53] |
|
| [00:49.01] |
I think that umm been in a great live band ,a great touring band . |
| [00:54.03] |
And embracing that absolutely reflected in the recording studio ,and their records have such a alive feel to them . |
| [01:05.26] |
It's doesn't feel like a processed thing at all ,it's very organic . |
| [01:10.28] |
I think that's the nature of their music ,is very organic and so it comes across so well live and so easily translated in the studio . |
| [01:18.06] |
And because they love the tour and they tour so much ,it does just generate their jobs constantly been worked and so when they come to the studio ,they are ready to go . |
| [01:31.05] |
The way we went to created the track of Hybrid Theory ,I was into Craig David's record . |
| [01:40.79] |
But I was able to perform a copy ,and listen to it over and over and over again . |
| [01:45.26] |
Really try to get into it what ,what is garage. Because I never heard of the turn .So after studying the Craig David record over and over again. |
| [01:53.35] |
I just started really not just feeling Garage really been Garage . |
| [01:59.73] |
I think when bands do record and album, if they haven't recorded before , |
| [02:03.52] |
I think when they go into a studio it can be fairly intimidated and overwhelming with the possibilities , |
| [02:11.01] |
I think on the first album that can show sometimes , however , you do get that inexperienced thing where it's fresh and it's new . |
| [02:23.11] |
By the time the second ,third album ,sometimes they spend too long they look and pick it too hard . |
| [02:29.32] |
So I think after a few successful albums ,sometimes they double question themselves , |
| [02:36.20] |
taking questions of whether they're going in the right direction whereas in the first album they tends to be . |
| [02:42.57] |
But this is it. You know they don't think too hard and overwhelmed by everything else going on so ,I think sometimes first album is really good really fresh . |
| [02:51.45] |
This fine collection of material was recorded and produced to make the band's studio LP Hybrid Theory in tribute to their old name . |
| [02:59.63] |
It was finally released in January 2001 ,and you metalheads could get enough of it . |
| [03:06.76] |
I think their music is really good ,but the words like together is like I can understand it like every song that they have on the latest album , |
| [03:15.98] |
I understand everything that they're and I can like understand I don't know I like to put the words together and it means something to me so I can have something to do with my life . |
| [03:29.33] |
|
| [03:32.59] |
So far on the Hybrid Theory album ,I think my favorite song is Crawling . |
| [03:37.43] |
It's a fantastic song ,the video is great also and it works to get you motivated and get you pumped .Really fun to sing along with ,to cream along with . |
| [03:49.36] |
Actually it's the words like whatever they say I could think of a story about in my life and I can ,like , |
| [03:54.80] |
put it together and be like ,oh that's remind me that, and that's why I listen to it . |
| [04:00.02] |
The fact that they're not like ,speak out on the radio and that you can't understand what they're saying it's like a plus ,but I have their album so either way like they wouldn't really mad at me . |
| [04:12.25] |
|
| [04:27.71] |
I definitely think that they would be like one of my like favorite album of all time |
| [04:32.52] |
like I said earlier ,that's like on that album I can reach in all the songs of that track .That's really hard to find . |
| [04:38.60] |
They are going to make me the two or three and like ,then when I had the album and every single song in it all I personally seems that way . |
| [04:47.88] |
|
| [04:50.33] |
Now Linkin Park was used to touring .But after the launch of their debut album, things went crazy. |
| [04:55.53] |
Okay I went to *south April to Hollywood play studio to go see Linkin Park . |
| [04:59.63] |
They were starting up the band before ,and my friend and I smuggle a joint there . |
| [05:05.54] |
So she smoked in she handed me the joint .I picked it up and from that point two security guard like grabbed us ,they threw us in the back , |
| [05:13.24] |
they kicked us out so we had to watch the rest of the concert from like outside . |
| [05:18.28] |
But we can hear them but we didn't like to see them before . |
| [05:23.46] |
|
| [05:30.07] |
As they were like playing like they are really lively they are very entertaining ,get moved right on the stage . |
| [05:36.13] |
When we had guide to get out. They had opened doors in the concert and in there signing autographs for people |
| [05:41.61] |
I thought that was really cool 'cause it was that the Hollywood play studio is pretty small . |
| [05:45.95] |
So I thought it was really cool that they stayed around after putting on a show to sign autographs to people . |
| [05:52.01] |
We are there to play for like our fans ,like our hardcore dedicated fans who support us and we want to be all at the show , |
| [05:59.01] |
and afterwards like we are no better than they are . |
| [06:01.73] |
And so we want to make it really clear to after the show we are not like these big freaking rock stars you know |
| [06:08.52] |
like they wanna go and hide afterwards we are not about that ,we start to music for fun and for our friends like |
| [06:15.21] |
when it stop being fun and about like having that type of camaraderie with like people playing for that should be myself done to it |
| [06:22.96] |
It can get a little weird out there on tour .Brad's strangest request was for Linkin Park's pubic hair . |
| [06:30.54] |
In fact the fans in the UK had even brought tape to put it on .Just goes to show those Brits are mad . |
| [06:37.96] |
A couple of kids wanted sample to take home of our pubic hair . |
| [06:43.81] |
They had a piece of tape and they were like we are getting it . |
| [06:47.36] |
Yeah, they wanted to like clone us .What if they brought us out in the future . |
| [06:52.38] |
I wonder if you clone some pubic hair if you have a clone to make more pubic hair . |
| [06:58.86] |
No, I usually don't like going out to watch this ,mainly because I don't like been a group by a big bunch of big hairy guys with no manners . |
| [07:11.34] |
The bands carried out incessant touring with bands such as Daftones ,P.O.D and Papa Roach as well as headlining major dates of their own . |
| [07:19.28] |
They also played on Ozzfest in the Family Values Tour in 2001 |
| [07:24.59] |
That seems to be the ironclad rule in America just relentless touring and it pays dividends I mean, |
| [07:32.71] |
Linkin Park, and they probably haven't been home for going on through years incubus strains of touring sent them into therapy, |
| [07:41.64] |
so yeah I think Pete Yarn has been played here five times this past year. They are working him like a racehorse. |
| [07:50.00] |
I think yeah it's the need to they want to have a presents for their fans you know in a best part of the sense maybe they actually enjoyed it |
| [07:59.17] |
and they want you know they want to get it to the fans and the fans love to see their bands live. |
| [08:03.30] |
And some bands actually are better live than they are in the record. |
| [08:06.49] |
So I think that important from like the good side of it is that maybe they really enjoy it and sing with their fans and getting out there. |
| [08:13.31] |
But there is the other side when you work too much .And you have to do it because the second single is released. |
| [08:18.32] |
It could be tight but I think that plays for a fact you have to work in a radio head and |
| [08:24.41] |
you are also you know enjoy everything marketing to keep yourself you know up there . |
| [08:32.82] |
Chester came back to the dressing room without basically shoes or clothes or anything left of him |
| [08:39.82] |
after like we kind of chill with the audience and staff. And he was like: |
| [08:44.29] |
you know what? People so polite about taking my stuff and I gave it to them. |
| [08:48.00] |
Touring is one of the hardest things to do ,I mean people have no idea of course they are at glamorous aspect of it |
| [08:54.79] |
you know when you are on stage, it's great that you're on the stage for an hour or two hours out of the day |
| [09:01.11] |
and the rest of it is grueling grinding traveling different beds, never being able to open your refrigerator and you know, |
| [09:09.29] |
having to scrounge for everything in towns you are unfamiliar with. On the other hand there is a lot of adventure to it. |
| [09:16.36] |
And you know I mean at first it was really, really great. And toward the end of my touring things it just became more and more difficult then you know , |
| [09:26.58] |
you grow up get family and that kind of thing and so then you have those long distance relationships that are very, very difficult to maintain. |
| [09:35.30] |
So maintaining relationship on tours is really hard. |
| [09:42.23] |
