Is mike shinoda Fred armison’s brother? lol
LP was my gateway to all music haha! Mike Shinoda probably embodies all of the music I like IRL. lol I grew up liking such an array of music and Mike Shinoda really likes a lot of the same of it.
Shinoda, a man i'll never forget. He was part of my childhood
9:35 that's gotta be Pale Waves he's talking about, right?
Its so cool to see both of you in this form
Mike Shinoda is such a cool guy man
This is probably the greatest moment of fantano's miserable life. It's easy to critique, it's difficult to create.
Linkin Park got me into music no cap
what a good guy
Mike was trying to think of Nightclub. Poppy sound, goth image.
Timecodes?
Mike, our Mike❤️😁💪🔥
That part when Mike is talking about artists changing their sound and getting it wrong, that was kinda ironic lol! Good discussion, Fantano lets his guest talk which is the hallmark of an interviewer.
Linkin Park was the first ever music group/artist that I was ever a fan of. All thanks to Transformers.
Ok but are we going to talk about how Anthony stood up for over an hour? That’s god damn impressive
I actually like Linkin Park, one of the best radio rock bands. I listen to them in the gym.
26:30 'I get something out of feeling able to give something, to be able to help and respond to people' This is something I like, I don't have good response for this. This is humble and I like hearing this from such an incredible artist. Woah.
23:25 "THANKS FOR CUTTING ME OFF" I felt that. Agony. Anthony, please, shut up and chill and let Mike speak so darn passionately about the answer to the question you asked. Thankyou, sincerely, the community.
I'm looking at Mike and seeing Anthony with my side view appearing as Chester 😫
what ever mike is repeating.Hybrid Theory and Meteora was(is) allways (nu)-metal music, he is a funny guy, he's got a greate sens of humor, about that he was saying: 2000 linkin park, like a bon jovi version.
Such a cool guy, I love linkin park forever idc
Linkin Park is the gateway music to different genres
Mike's such a cool guy
God Mike is sooooooooo cute
Didn't fully watch the video but guy in the thumbnail seems he was tryna look like Chester lol but that's just what I thought when I first seen the thumbnail
GOOD JOB,WAITING INTERVIEW WITH CHESTER
Don’t worry Mike, Fantano doesn’t like any song or album made by any band ever. He shits on every album, and song that’s ever made.
9:44 Chelsea Wolfe
'i was like on something' mike 2021 XD i jest guy is very cool
melon is very brave for even considering entering waterbury ct
Mike totally sounds like a person who totally isn't bothered by the criticism he receives or the dislike that Linkin Park gets.
Melon please review Kenji - Fort Minor (Mike Shinoda) I'm not a fan of his rapping by and large, although I respect him immensely as a good dude and genuine artist - but THAT SONG is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I didn't know if the left side thumbnail was Logic or Steve-O.
Who is this Anthony guy and why should I care about him?
Mike sounds like an amazing guy, I loved the Post Traumatic album.
And the winner is: SIMULTANEOUSLY
I was just listening to Meteora last night for the first time in years. Still just as good. No idea who the interviewer is but Mike is a badass!
Do Marky Ramone & John Lydon
the thing about HUGE bands like Linkin Park & Green Day is that people will hate on them because they're so big people have an infinite amount of material to hate from!
In regards to the genre thing, just listen to Jinjer, great to see/hear their mix.
9:40 he is talking about Poppy
So mike is saying he was pretty much done. He hasn’t done anything since PT but Fine. Sad cause he can pump out great music.
THEY FINALLY HAD COOL CONVERSATION in the last 7 minutes Lool
Man something was up with Fantano this entire interview,,, the conversation could've been a lot more interesting, but Fantano seemed so much on the defensive and tense here for some reason, and it was tough to hear him speak idk why , oh well
Fantano: *poignant remark about Code Orange and their sound* Shinoda: That's funny.
Here for Mike! A Thousand Suns is my favorite album. I started listening when I was a 12 year old girl and never stopped. I’m a 25 year old woman now who’s favorite band will always be Linkin Park
Fantano replacement for Chester Bennington
we need more chats with mike
1.25million subs and you can’t rendr 1080p60?
Fantano to bald hater lol that's all. BALD HATER.
so whatsupp withchester bruh!
Interview kid Cudi next
I was there in the chat ! but it's blurry lol
The first song i ever seen LP was Numb... i was like 6-7 maybe 8, but I instantly understand his words an the vibe i felt from the song...Rest was History...
What a nice dude. I enjoyed that.
Mentioned Ghostemane 👀
I think Linkin Park has a lot of great albums, and some of them still get some recognition, but I think Reanimation is unjustly underrated. Sure, it's all remixes of Hybrid Theory, but I actually prefer a lot of them over the originals. It's more hip-hop, more electronic, it has incredible guest artists, and listening to it from start to finish is still a journey, from the opening to the closing Krwlng melody. I'm a lot more interested in hip-hop than I was in middle school, and listening to it with a more hip-hop appreciating lens really brings out new lights and nuances in its content. Reanimation was the album I had on my original Xbox, it was one of my favorite albums to listen to on my bus rides to school. Now, years later, I don't listen to LP 1/10th as often as I used to, having branched out in my musical preferences, but man, does that album hold up to this day.
I really enjoyed that!
Idk what I wanna say, but here I just listed my Top 6 favorites rappers and lyricists of all time. 1. EMINEM. 2. MIKE SHINODA. 3. JAY-Z. 4. BUSTA RHYMES. 5. ROYCE DA 5'9". 6. NAS.
Hybrid Theory all the way to A Thousand Suns is some of my favorite music man. Music I’ll show my kids and play as I grow old. Love you LP
Thank you for this interview! Im glad you and Mike were able to do this!
i think the big difference between linkin park and other dominating nr1 music is that it was actually groundbreaking in my opinion
Mike is incredibly successful but he still deserves more recognition for his artistic contributions. He’s simply the best.
Thought that was Steve O in the thumbnail. Cool interview tho.
9:42 does he talk about Maggie Lindemann? Kind of reminds me of her
HT and Meteora
I know it's not something you're supposed to admit if you wanna be cool but LP was my first Metal band.
i love the interview. however i’m still waiting for someone to ask mike the original story of “forgotten”. by myself and “and one” as well
I think Mike's enthusiasm in this shows his respect for melon... And it goes both ways
Linkin Park really paved the way for so many artists we have today
Take a shot every time he says "like"
Why can’t we just talk about music and the legend of Linkin Park instead of everyone being meme edgelords?!
I loved the interview and how open Mike Shinoda was.
First album I ever listen to in full
two commies
Mike Shinoda’s music: ☠️💀👺👹😈🕷 Mike Shinoda: 🥰😊😀😁☺️❤️
I think that Mike was talking about Pale Waves at around 9:50? I’m not certain but the description lines up
Speaking of Melon T-shirts... Re-stock when? :D
Mike is such a nice guy, it's crazy...
I had no idea Anthony was from CT, im from CT on the opposite side of the state from where he’s from, but i subconsciously recognized he talks like someone from CT, he has no accent whatsoever, the CT accent is pretty much that u have no accent whatsoever lol
i dont get it , what was the point with the whole mellon story haha, i think mike is also wondering the same 5 days later .. he started bitting his lips, nails and shit, the whole situation was awkward af those few minutes haha
I have never seen a single video from you but when I see an hour long interview with Mike Shinoda in my recommend, I WATCH!
Hunting Party was underrated.
Great interview.
I never knew the origin of the melon nickname. I knew it happened a long time ago but goddamn. A twitter rant? Figures.
Go figure fanantonio doesn't have time stamps on his 67 minute video. Real savvy guy here.
Mike shinoda, aka Spike Minoda aka Shanizzle aka.. Mike
This was probably one of the most boring interview I seen this year
Mike shinoda: The most underrated artist in history
I don't have words to describe how much I love Mike lmao
I am really impressed by Anthony's interviews. He ironically often seems to interview people who's music he's not a fan of. Yet in the interviews he manages to create an atmosphere of acceptance and openness that is quite rare I find. Especially in the ISpast community. Also, I liked that Tobe Nwigwe shoutout towards the end! :)
Fantano, I agree with a lot of what you say, but your opinion about Linkin Park is trash. Dunno why you feel their music is bad - it may just be that they were your popular band that you loved to hate on.
1:01:00 I feel like we weren't ready for A Thousand Suns. Back in the day I hated that album, nowadays I geniunely think it's their best work. Maybe I've matured? idk, but I think that album has aged like fine wine
i love how mike is a worldwide known artist , has been in the industry for like 30 years and still aint no narcissist, unlike most musicians. keep on shining my man
Growing up listening to Hybrid and Meteora, I hated A Thousand Suns when I was first heard it... But now it's my favorite album of theirs by a landslide Lol needed some time for it grow on me.
38:10 holy shit i died LMAOO
was mike trying to describe Zheani? @ 9.52
Hi please react to prettymuch is new song lonely its so good 🙏🏾👌🏾👌🏾🤩🤩😍😁
My thumb is for Mike, not Anthony. Just putting that out there.
This interview is straight fire from the first planckosecond
