busta rhymes has unfortunately had to leave projekt revolution. we were all extremely disappointed to see him go; we enjoyed the energy and personality he brought to the tour, and we looked forward to playing "we made it" on stage with him each night. his departure was due to a number of complicated business matters that were out of anyone's control. we hope to cross paths with busta again soon!

Linkin Park 'putting In A Lot Of Work' For Next Album

By: Don Kaye

Linkin Park plans to cut down the space between new studio releases this time around, hoping not to repeat the four-year gap between 2003's Meteora and 2007's Minutes to Midnight. Singer Mike Shinoda told us that the band members have been working on new material for a while and that he's even found time to record some demos while on tour: "Actually I've been doing a couple of studio dates out on the road, which is new for me. I did a date when we were touring in Germany, one date in Prague, a bunch of dates in New York, and I'm excited about that. It's been very cool for us. So long story short, we've been putting in a lot of work and hopefully we could have a new record out next year."

Linkin Park is in the midst of its Projekt Revolution tour, which stops in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday (July 30th) and wraps on August 24th in Woodlands, Texas.

Shinoda and bassist David "Phoenix" Farrell were on hand last Thursday (July 24th) in New York City's Times Square to accept a $25,000 donation from Major League Baseball and Champs Sports to the band's Music For Relief organization.

Major League Baseball's Authentic Collection is sponsoring the Projekt Revolution tour for the third time this summer, while this year's edition of the tour marks Champs Sports' involvement for the second time.

Mike Shinoda also recently opened his second exhibition of paintings at an art gallery in Los Angeles.

Overseas again or a new album?
By: Hahninator on Wed Jul 30, 2008 6:06 am

Our great friend Jasparina over at LPTimes reports: "According to China Post, Linkin Park has invited Taiwanese rock band, Mayday to perform with them at the benefit concert in Shanghai and Beijing on October 12 and 18 respectively. As previously reported, they will each play for 90 min. China Post added that Mayday's record company Bin-Music confirmed that they had received the invitation from concert organizers in mid May, they are now just waiting for China to approve the paper work. The benefit concert is to aid the survivors in the southwest Chinese province Sichuan which was hit by an earthquake in May."

There are also BIG rumors floating around, that have been floating around for a while actually. Linkin Park is set to play in South America SOMETIME this fall. We've heard September, we've heard October, we've heard November. When will it be? Will they go? The big Brazilian concert promoter reportedly traveled to London and Paris earlier this year on Linkin Park's Winter European Tour to meet with the band to discuss the shows in South America. They are rumored to play a few shows in Brazil, and also shows in Chile and Argentina. Reportedly, Warner Brazil has been working on it. We'll see what happens.

However, on the LPTV Winter 08 Episode, Phoenix said "If you guys want to come see us before we go make a new album, here's your last chance - Projekt Revolution 2008". Mike said in Mansfield that Projekt Revolution was the last tour before the new album, and this article here, released today, hints that the band will be hitting the studio again soon to make a new album.

Vote For Pooch!

In the Linkin Park community, everyone has a job. For instance, I try and run LPLive to the best of my ability. Mike Shinoda tries to run the live show to the best of his ability. Most people have the job of being the fans, being the support for the band. Most everyone does a "good" job at what they do. Or at least, I think they do.

But then there's the ones that do an EXCELLENT job at what they do.

A man by the name of Ken "Pooch" Van Druten mixes the FOH (Front Of House) sound for Linkin Park. Whenever you go to a show and you think the band "sounds" good - thank him. He's the one behind mixing the show perfectly for everyones' ears at the show, and also the one behind the amazing live audio shows that you see keep appearing online. He and his friend Dylan do a damn good job at what they do in my opinion. They don't nearly get the credit they deserve.

As a community, we aim to and try to help everyone out by doing what we can. Right now I'd like to take the time to try and help my friend Pooch out. It's now the time of year for the "Parnelli Awards". These awards go to the best of the best in the live show business. Pooch had this to say: "Once again it is that time of the year. I have been nominated for the Parnelli FOH Engineer of the year for 6 years, and have NEVER won. WTF? Oh well - this is my one last push to see if I can win the fucker." Let's try and help him out. He adds, "If you know anybody else like Kevin "Tater" McCarthy you might want to put him in the monitor mixer of the year category for Linkin Park. Or perhaps Robert Long in the Production Manager of the year category for Rage Against the Machine. The nominations are open to anyone, but the actual voting is done by people within the industry. Thanks for helping to get us nominated."

To vote for Pooch, Kevin, Robert, and whomever else you'd like, go to the Parnelli Awards site right HERE. Let's get an award for someone who deserves it. Thanks guys.

Machine Head on Linkin Park, interview with Metal Hammer August 5th 2008

Q: IT MUST HAVE REALLY SUCKED TO SEE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE HEADLINING DOWNLOAD LAST YEAR WHEN YOU PLAYED ONLY FOURTH TO LINKIN PARK.
by ANDREW CARRINGTON, VIA EMAIL
...
Robb: "And we stomped Linkin Park into oblivion. I mean they need those big pop headliners, obviously, that's why they're able to pull so many different things in. There's nothing like Download in America, nothing that diverse. In America everything's gotta be the same, it's bands like Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance and bands like that."
Hammer: Is there a place for bands like Linkin Park and My Chemical Romance then?
Robb: "Yes. Under my fucking foot!"
