Mike Shinoda - What's In My Bag? 

I swear this guy does not age

He seems like such a chill person, and the way he gets excited about describing what each album means to him is really dope!

So much respect for him and his kind soul.

I can listen to Mike talk about anything for hours. Kind, respectful and passionate

Linkin Park were influenced by Aphex Twin, you learn something new every day.

Guys trust me HE IS GENUINE. I meant him and the band in 2015. You talk to him for 5 mins and you get a sense of comfortably and almost like you know him personally.

I really want to meet him one day before I die. I want to tell him how much he means to me and how he made my life 10 times better by literally just existing.

I could listen to this guy forever

‘Was that cool’?. Love him so much. Born to make art and music, I’m a LP fan since 2000 and LOVE the Post Traumatic album.

Mike is such a loveable person

Never been the biggest Linkin Park fan but impressed by his taste, gotta say

It’s cool to hear Mike’s level of excitement about what he considers classics, considering he was part of a classic.

One of the better "What's In My Bag" episodes. The guy is humble and so damn appreciative of music as a whole.

Mike has got to be one of the most genuine human beings on earth.

A great "Musician" ALWAYS appreciates and respects a wide variety of music in ALL GENRES! That's how bands evolve....🎶

Not a Linkin Park fan personally, but obviously they mean shit to a lot of people and he seems like a nice dude with cool taste.

"Was that cool?" Omg, Mike is such a sweetheart

The twinkle in Mike's eyes when he's talking about his favorite albums and about "the band" is priceless. Great, real, and natural session right here. Thanks for sharing.

He’s got so much knowledge of music it’s incredible!

The Shape Of Punk to Come is a ground breaker. Great album.

It’s kinda sad to see him sitting there alone doing an “interview” because I got used to seeing him do interviews with Chester... But I really like his music even though I normally don’t like rap but probably because I can relate to what he sings about... and he just seem like a very kind and friendly person

okay I literally never clicked on a video so fast in my life I’m so happy

just seeing mike's tastes in music really gives some incite into a lot of influences LP has in their music, it shows that they aren't a band you can just lump into 1 genre. they are truly experimental and have different styles in their music

“Is that cool?” My heart ♥️☺️ There’s zero ego with Mike... add his passionate explanations for what each record means to him & his reverence for these artists... adorable, humble & engaging.

Great taste and well spoken dude. Hope he's healing well after what he's been through.

Mike Shinoda is awesome

Sad that there's a lot of people who don't know who Mike is! He's a huge influence of mine for art! I always recognized him as the mastermind of Linkin Park and his respect for rap is second to none. A lot of depth to him and I'll always appreciate that. Mike and Chester were two sides of a coin. I hope he gets more fans!

There are videos on RU-vid of Linkin park in their early years in which Joe mentions Aphex Twin as an influence (I believe the making of the one step closer video is one of them, and the other is one of the vids with the Hybrid Theory rehearsals). Its always been the one element that makes their early work so special to me. It was never about how the songs were so much heavier and whatnot. To me, it was the atmosphere that was captured in the early Linkin Park songs that made them stand out, and if you pay attention to the sounds in those songs, thats straight up AFX style. It's cool to hear Mike talk about this stuff, it is an important part of Linkin Parks sound that seems to get overlooked a lot.

Seeing Chester a Botch fan and Mike a Refused fan makes me have a wider appreciation for Linkin Park. Real talk

Awesome picks Mike. One of the best episodes of "What's in my bag".

Mike's so sweet I love watching him

I love Mike Shinoda and Bjork. Two of my favorite artists of all time. Their music is both creative and inspiring.

Lol why is every other comment “I don’t like LP, but mike’s ok”

Really happy to see Mike on here :D

I am glad Mike is still making music. I hope someday the band can get back together in some form or another

Love how Mike mostly talks about the production

Everytime I watch a mike shinoda video I learn something new. He rocks

this has been an education. mike is such a geek, man i wish he could just tell me about all these stuff and I'd be listening to him for days. not in a creepy way but you know what i mean.

One of the greatest humans in the world. He's so kind and talented... This man deserves the world.

Never knew Mike was a Björk fan..

He is looking better lately. Keep going Mike! Cant wait to see ya next week

Had a big smile on my face the whole time

Spike Minoda

It very interesting to see where they got their influences from when recording Hybrid Theory. Little does he probably know that many of us Linkin Park heads admire his music the way he does with those artists. Hybrid Theory is an album that has committed to the soundtrack of my life for being so versatile, loud, aggressive etc... Mike is utterly talented and humble asf

Nothing but respect for Mike 🖤

Happy to see Mike doing well :) not a big LP fan, but he is just an amazing guy

Oh my god his eyes!!! I got lost in it!!!😍😍😍 and his smile is incredible...

„Was that cool?“ Haha he is so adorable 😂

I love Mike so much. This was great, thank you.

In his particular case the student overcame his teachers like million times. What a talent.❤

Respect. What a passion for the music...

nice to hear a rockstar be humble..quite a rarity

Nothing but respect for mike ✊🏻

I love this. Mike is so interesting.

So much respect for you Mike

RIP Chester - loved him! Helped me through a lot. Mike looks good but his eyes still tell a story of inner sadness and asking for help. Take care Mike xx♥️

DO YOU BUY VINYL?!

I dig his appreciation for the technical details and side of music

dude, that never-ending beat thing is INSANE. i never thought about not spiraling a needle groove and instead just having a few hundred grooves and therefore a few hundred beats. wow. mind blown.

"was that cool?" so cute :)))) this guy is amazing.

Thanks Mike much respect for the DJ Swamp shout out, let's collab on something.

This is so much fun to watch. Thank you Mike. ❤

Fantastic episode. Love ya Mike!

Mike is my idol since I remember being an artist, beatmaker and rapper. And a big coincidence is "The Shape of Punk to Come" by Refused is one of my favorite albums ever! I recently bough it on CD :P

I miss you guys so much best band ever in my opinion and I'm 55

It's just incredible. To see one of my favorite artists talking about his inspirations in such an passionate and deep way is incredible

Mike Shinoda is such a cool dude, and he has great taste. I wish I enjoyed his music more

I love listening the stories behind my favourites artists. It's so inspiring, interesting, and you can hear new cool music too! Nice!

He's fucking smart...I love interviews with Mike on it.

I love this! Mike is one of my favorite artists and getting to know where he got his influences from is really cool! :)

Thanks for showing some of your early influences Mike. It's really cool to step back into the past and see the sort of things that weren't on the radio that were underrated gems.

Great music taste

Love this guy ... I seen him at the Palladium in Hollywood last month .. it was like hanging out wit one of your best friends ... too much fun ❤️ he’s one of those friends that bring so much great music to the table ... and if it wasn’t for him your taste in music wouldn’t be as great ... God bless him ❤️

Seriously the best artist I’ve ever known, listened to him since I can remember always thought he was such a cool guy , hope I get to meet him one day, so sad Chester couldn’t be here to see how his career has progressed, he would be so proud of him as we all are 👍

Srsly, i tot this was some Vogue's 'What's in my bag?' Episode... was wondering why would they be interviewing Mike Shinoda?? Was expecting some other things for Mike to take out from his bag but as the vid plays, after album after another which he pulled out from his bag... i was like oh... this is a music channel related... 😅😅😅but he is always very chill and humble and sincere in expressing his tots and inspirations...👍👍go Mike!!

No way! Yesterday I watched a video with John Davis and was curious to check whether there is any video with LP members here, but there was none. And here it comes today! What a coincidence! :O

Seems like a nice guy

Mike is such a creative person and very intelligent, never fails to surprise me

This was so fun watching this episode 😃🤘❤

I have most of those battle records he mentioned... rectangle, swamp, qbert, revolution...all were innovators for the new generation like Richie Rufftone, DJ woody, DJ freddy "swiftstyle" Garcia, DJ idea, Kodak visuals, DJ Lok and there are many more.

Is nice to see that Mikes loves the RDJ album. You can hear that chopping thing on track like Cure For The Itch and Session, with a little bit of Dj Shadow sound-wise... some hidden gems on LP discography

LOVED all of his picks,. just gem after gem

Great episode.

Awesome man! Loved Bjork appearing in the chosen lot of vinyls!

dope love him so much

I love Mike 💙

Love his picks, very similar taste to my own

Fortminor changed my life. Thanks Mike and Sounds of Beyond

I love Mike so much

I love him hes amazing!!

Much love💓

And this right here is why I honestly love those first three linkin park albums to death. It was just a band doing their own thing and just having fun with it. And thats really how music should be approached.

That was cool i haven't felt a nostalgia for break beats in a long time.

I Love You're Music Mike Shinoda! and Linkin Park Also ^_^

Post is great

DJ SWAMP I LOVE YOUR MUSIC

Love you Mike man

I know i am late watching this but been a long time huge fan of Linking Park since when they came out what stood out for me i always thought why do they use alot of stutter distorted sounds on all there records and now i know where they got that influenced from i have learnt something new thanks Mike.

Mike.....you're a Genius!!!! I swear!!! 🙏💙

i love this man
