Mike Shinoda: ”Linkin Park suunnittelee jotain upeaa lokakuussa 20 vuotta täyttävän ’Hybrid Theory’ -albumin tiimoilta”

Yhdysvaltalaisen rock-yhtye Linkin Parkin läpimurtoalbumi ”Hybrid Theory” täyttää lokakuun 24. päivä 20 vuotta. Yhtyeen laulaja Mike Shinoda on paljastanut tuoreessa Kerrang Magazinen haastattelussa, että yhtye suunnittelee jotain todella upeaa levyn merkkipäivän kunniaksi. Mike kertoi aiheesta seuraavaa:

”I don’t know what I should say about it. We’re planning some fun stuff. All I’ll say is that we’ve put some work in — not just the band. In fact, I’d say the label and management and the folks who have been with us for a long time and worked on our stuff along the way… We’ve done our best to kind of go to a lot of people who are family, in a sense, and say, ’What do you think we should do? What would be a good kind of celebration of ’Hybrid Theory’?’ and try to do our best to actually do a bunch of those ideas.

The LINKIN PARK fanbase is one of the most creative and active fanbases out there. The problem, for me, is that if I’m not allowed to divulge information because I want it to be a surprise, then the creative fanbase starts jumping out and imagining things. They come up with their own great ideas, and then once in a while, those great ideas are better than our ideas. [Laughs]

So I would urge the fanbase to just let it happen. And don’t come up with ideas of what we ought to do, because your ideas might be better than ours. But we do have something coming that I think is very cool. And I’m excited for — what is it? The end of October, right?”
