My musical and production role model all the way, everything I know of production started by analyzing reanimation and all the work Mike did on that and continuous albums
A huge pleasure to se KING Mike here, thanks Pensado! I would have liked to hear some things about his engineering & production side but I'm fine enough. Salute!
I haven't listened to Linkin Park in a while... but I always loved the production on their records. Mike Shinoda is such a cool, down-to-earth dude... glad Pensado's Place taped this :)
after a good speech about creativity in group or in solo, let's give prize in the most random way ever! My favorite part is when he talk about the fact that a band with more people can be more creative than 2-3 people together at 24:30 and at 27:15 about accepting negative comments. An awesome episode, that was the man I was waiting since a long time in this show
I second guessed myself whether I should consider other people's opinion on my songs in the creation phasemy but now I am sure I should since my favourite chilhood band learned the same way, you're more than just a band LP
Too bad (for me anyway) Pensado's Place has taken the general interview route, meaning none of these interviews have anything to do with music production anymore. These are general interviews now that you might just as well see on any music site or channel. I'm not complaining, this is still interesting stuff, just saying, as I've always come to the Pensado's Place for the production related stuff and tips. Now it's all on ITL and that's it.
I felt like Dave was trying hard this time to get Herb to stop doing that thing he always does, those monologues, but then it happened anyways lol It's nice that the guests always are cool with it though so maybe I should stop complaining but let's all be honest these interviews are about the guest and they edit stuff out, if anything should be edited out it's the repetitive stuff.
linkin park were one of the first bands I loved at that time including papa roach etc, but after hybrid theory and a select few other tracks 'numb' etc they changed there sound far too quickly and I lost interest pretty much immediately after that...the dynamic of shinoda rapping and Chester singing heavy choruses/quiet parts was in my opinion what made them, then came the electronic shiz...ah well, still done well though!
wow that dish thing also happens in india.if there is no food to give back then we put sugar in the dish and give it back. Indian and Japanese culture is so similar. maybe because of Buddhism.
honestly I didn't like their albums produced by rick rubin, they sound too average and even boring. the first 2 albums are still the best ones they had more personality in them. I'm not saying bands shouldn't experiment with new sounds, but their sound got less interesting.
