[19:53:33] (Mike Shinoda) avihai: we design our site as the hub of all the LP sites, and we know people go to other sites. good luck with your, keep promoting it.

[19:54:01] (Californi) Mike, you rule!! Can't wait to see you back in the US! Can you give us details about the new LPU 3.0 shirt? What the design is, what inspired you to make the design and why you personally designed it? Thanks, -Stebo

[19:54:19] (Mike Shinoda) oops. slice, we need to make sure kids don't time out. this happens every time.

[19:54:32] (Mike Shinoda) make sure those kids get back in

[19:54:38] (Slice) u got it

[19:55:14] (CC) I loved u guys at SS in detroit..(I was the 1 complaining bout the rain and almost being hit by lightening..lol)....My question is any plans to hit the studios any time soon.....LIT ia awesome BTW...thanks 

[19:55:57] (Mike Shinoda) the new LPU shirt is blue (for a change). i designed the graphics as a mix between some tech stuff and some old gothic-european styles. 

[19:56:11] (Mike Shinoda) slow down the questions until i answer them!

[19:56:16] (Mike Shinoda) haha

[19:56:28] (Slice) ooops! =) my bad!

[19:56:55] (Mike Shinoda) ummm...we're not goign to be in the studio soon, we just finished mixing live in texas! but we might be working on some new stuff at home and in the bus soon...

[19:57:04] (Mike Shinoda) (next question)

[19:57:35] (Clare) Hi Mike, just wanted to know is Hi Voltage on the set list for Wembley? All your Irish fans say hello, hope to see you in Ireland in 2004 

[19:59:03] (Mike Shinoda) hi voltage isn't on the set list, unfortunately. but for those of you who have seen or are going to see "live in texas," you should know that we are not playing the set we played on summer sanitarium! we are playing a little bit different group of songs...

[19:59:11] (dapoetess) mike, are you guys going to be playing at kroq acoustic xmas? and are you going to sing more on the next album like you did on p5hng me a*wy on LIT? p.s. i had a great time at the LIT premiere in LA. you guys rock.

[19:59:14] (Mike Shinoda) you'll have to see! (feel the suspense)

[20:00:41] (Mike Shinoda) actually, that answer was for both of the last two questions

[20:00:41] (Mike Shinoda) i don't want to give away too much...

[20:00:41] (Mike Shinoda) in fact, i don't know how much singing i will do, b/c we have yet to write the songs

[20:00:45] (Mike Shinoda) 

thanks

[20:00:55] (Slice) avihai go for it bro

[20:00:55] (avihai) mike.. do you gonna by in israel? i mean in tour with lp? 

[20:02:02] (Mike Shinoda) i don't know yet...we are constantly being asked to tour all over the place, and we only have so much time. but we'd love to play there

[20:02:09] (Divaness) hello, thank you for being so involved in the LPU. I wanted to know what you like to do in your spare time and whats your favourite tv show right now. And say hi to dj23 at the manchester meet and greet.  -hannah (new zealand loves u guys)

[20:03:05] (Mike Shinoda) favorite TV in the US? probably survivor, 24, queer eye for the straight guy, sopranos (when it comes back)

[20:03:17] (Eurica) Hey Mike you guys are the greatest. Do you know anything about your next tour? Or who you'll be playing with?? -Erica and Katie :-)

[20:03:45] (Mike Shinoda) we will be playing a tour in january/february in the US with...

[20:03:50] (Mike Shinoda) drumroll...

[20:04:03] (Mike Shinoda) P.O.D., hoobastank, and story of the year

[20:04:25] (Mike Shinoda) i'm excited to play with story of the year. their album is pretty cool.

[20:04:47] (hana) Heya Mike!! Im hana frm Singapore, (its 4.05am here btw..) Loved ur malaysia concert oct 15!! Pls cum s’pore for mtv asia awards nxt yr k..? my question ) what is your most favourite part of an LP concert?? 

[20:06:05] (Mike Shinoda) we always love to hear people singing. that's the best. you never get used to it. it's funny, when i write the words to a song, i never imagine what it's like when other people sing along to it.

[20:06:27] (hanx2) hi there mike!!!!!! i'm han from singapore... (i'm so excited that my mind is blank right now!!!.. yes.. i can't think!)... i wanna ask... does it take a lot of practice for you to draw so well? or it's your flair? =)

[20:07:27] (Mike Shinoda) i have drawn all my life. when i was in college, i was working on art probably about 10-16 hours a day. i love drawing and painting.

[20:07:39] (HixVAC) Hey Mike! First off I just wanna say I thought the intro you guys did on the Live In Texas DVD for By Myself was awsome. My question is are there any "hidden extras" like your first DVD or anything like that in the Live In Texas DVD AND will the only tracks on the LPU3 CD be the rest of the Live In Texas songs or will there be other tracks as well?

[20:07:47] (Mike Shinoda) thanks

[20:08:25] (Mike Shinoda) hiddens: no, because we just wanted to keep it simple this time. it's all about the show.

[20:08:40] (Jayde) Hey Mike, my name is Jayde and I’m from Melbourne Australia I’m one of your Many BiGgEsT Fans, just wanna say u guys rocked at Livid I had the best time I cried…My question for you is when do u think Linkin Park will Return to Melbourne for another concert? PLZ make it be soon as I can’t wait to see u guys again…. Luv u guys soo much jayde xoxoxo

[20:08:57] (Mike Shinoda) LPU3 CD: in case any of you don't know, the 5 songs that are not on the live in texas DVD/CD will be this year's LPU CD

[20:09:09] (Mike Shinoda) so if you're in the LPU, you'll have all 17 songs.

[20:09:33] (Mike Shinoda) melbourne: we'll be back to australia next year, probably

[20:09:51] (Mike Shinoda) livid was fun. big festival

[20:10:07] (Jo2) Hey Mike, looking forward to meetin you in Cardiff! Im new to writing and i wanted to know if u have any preferences atmosphere wise to write in? See you soon!

[20:11:13] (Mike Shinoda) i like to write at home, where i'm comfortable. but i'm flexible: whenever i get a good idea, i try and spend some time on it to get it as far as i can. so if i wake up at 4AM in a hotel and i have a good idea, i sit down and work on it until i can't make it better any more.

[20:11:45] (keller) hey Mike, Ting from Singapore here! Come down soon yea?Thanks for the Malaysia concert! My q is: where does the pain/anger in ur lyrics come from now that u guys seem to be havin smooth sailing lives? And rock the house down later!

[20:13:52] (Mike Shinoda) i guess it's kinda like yin and yang: there is always good and evil, there is always a pleasant side to your life, and a side that bothers you. i think our lyrics are about both a little bit. maybe a little more about the darker half...it's therapeutic to talk about things that bother me.

[20:14:03] (Keynas) Hi Mik3 ! I'm from Portugal , I was in the Portugal meets and greets, ( the girl who gave you the letter ) ( by the way )I loved the show and my question is: I loved the new dvd , it helped me to re-live the great time I had on the Portugal show... I hope you come back soon and bring ADEMA with you again... Have fun on tour. - Is that true that you've played BreakingTHabit in a recent show ?

[20:15:03] (Mike Shinoda) thanks for checking out L.I.T. - we're really excited about it.

[20:15:05] (Mike Shinoda) ...and

[20:15:33] (Mike Shinoda) maybe we're playing breaking the habit...maybe we're not! (feel more suspense)

[20:15:44] (ktucker90) hi mike, i love LIT, how do you come up with the designs for the LPU t shirts? from kev. cya in cardiff

[20:17:37] (Mike Shinoda) the LPU stuff is pretty fun. i like just putting some graphics together, just messing around sometimes. sometimes it has more of a concept, sometimes i just accidentally make something that i look at and go, okay, oops--it's done!

[20:17:47] (LadySilke) Hi Mike, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. You and the guys rocked the stadium hard in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It's been a long, long time since we had any great bands in town.  I'm glad to hear that you guys were treated well. When the band decided to go on the Asian tour, did you and the guys have any sort of reservations or anxieties about headlining the tour and getting through it? What were they? What was the most memorable an

[20:17:53] (Mike Shinoda) in school, we called those "happy accidents"

[20:18:45] (Mike Shinoda) malaysia was a little bit stressful b/c people did expect a lot from us. plus, there were fans everywhere. but it was great

[20:19:21] (LinkinGuy) Mike, thanx for coming to Kuala Lumpur, it really meant a lot to us here, especially a ST like me. Just wanted to let you know it was great to be able to shake your hand that day.Come back to KL soon ya! ).( pics of the m&g--) http://arboon.he.st/mng.html my question is, do you like milk? :-P

[20:19:51] (Mike Shinoda) wow, is the whole chatroom from malaysia!? one sec...

[20:20:19] (Mike Shinoda) sure. milk. okay. i don't know. i think so. i like satay, though.

[20:20:30] (linkinluv) Hi Mike..I just wanted to say that i think LIT rocks..You guys are great..And I'm painting my car this winter.I want your opinion..baby blue car with black graphics? Or just completely hot pink? Thanks...Love you guys and I can't wait for the upcoming Us tour!!!!!Love Liz

[20:21:02] (Mike Shinoda) black and blue car, for sure. you'll be sick of a pink car in a month.

[20:21:19] (Lizness) Hey Mike. Just wanted to say that you guys have done amazing job with the albums =) Ok so here's my question, what was the last cd you bought, is it good? and would you recommend it. Oh yeah I'm from Finland and we finnish Lp fans are wondering if you will come here next year? also Hi from the gang from Lp laboratory [finnish site] -Liz

[20:21:21] (Mike Shinoda) hold on.

[20:21:29] (Slice) k

[20:22:52] (Mike Shinoda) ok. sorry. last CD i bought? thrice's new one. oops, no i bought jay-z's cd last week. both are excellent

[20:23:22] (LnknprkGd) hey mike, (im speechless) just wanted to thank you and the guys for being sooo cool to your fans and for your awesome music, are you going to come back to El Paso ,TX anytime soon? you were here earlier this year but it would be awesome if u came again and maybe an LPU meet and greet? Since u guys r touring in Feb. my b-day is the 9th and i would love to see u guys for my b-day present...thanks... (Live in Texas rocks) oh and i loved your 

[20:24:07] (Mike Shinoda) we might be...we'll have to see. we'll be touring the US in jan-feb, as i said earlier

[20:24:24] (love) Hiya Spike Shinnizle  - who designed the artwork on LIT because you've always had a great intrest in art with you and joe going to art college, did you put as much thought into live in texas as you did meteora and hybrid theory. Also thnx for signing my reanimation flag at leeds its now up on my wall lol and ill b bringing another flag to the b'ham mg if i get on the list  and my m8s dared me to ask if u wud sign a condom as well as m

[20:25:57] (Mike Shinoda) LIT was a different animal from meteora and hybrid theory: live albums aren't put together the same way, obviously...but we wanted to make sure everything was really tight. we wanted to capture what it's like to be at the show to the best of our ability

[20:26:17] (LPElement) Do you ever plan to revisit any of the old ideas/songs you made and possibly finish and release them? Any plans on using more japanese instrument samples in your songs? Taiko..hint hint 

[20:27:15] (Mike Shinoda) taiko drums are awesome! i love this group called "kodo." they are unbelieveable. 

[20:27:18] (Mike Shinoda) as far as songs...

[20:27:36] (Mike Shinoda) we like to work on new stuff, rather than messing with old stuff.

[20:27:58] (lpjk30) hey mike!! Did you feel any added pressure during the concerts in Texas because of the filming and is there any chance you guys are going to massachusetts with POD? Thank you for your music and good luck w/ europe :)-Josh K (just renewed hehe)

[20:29:10] (Mike Shinoda) yup. playing when the cameras are on is a little more stressful than when they're not. massachusetts - don't know yet.

[20:29:26] (lula) hey, mike, i hope you're doing good over there  what are u guys planning to do in the hopes of making Projek Revolution tour on the same level as Ozzfest and Summer Sanitarium? thanks mike, you guys rock! do come back here in m'sia, ok :] 

[20:30:56] (Mike Shinoda) i would love projekt rev to be a bigger festival, to make it as interesting as it can be for you guys. i love when you talk about other bands on the message boards, because it lets me know what other bands our fand are listening to.

[20:31:30] (lyss) hey Mike!!!!! on meteora record, you guys had video footage and photos taken throughtout the process. why is the work that goes into the work so important? is it to remember your effort in doing it or something else..i coulnd't think of any other questions anyway.. between, my friend nigel and Jan says hi, and your music is really really fantastic!! and thanks for coming down to KL ro perform! It was really really good!please come to kl again!!! hope

[20:33:11] (Mike Shinoda) before the album came out, it was hard for a lot of people to imagine what it was like for us to be in the studio recording our music. so we documented the process. besides, our stuff is kinda always a work in progress...

[20:33:26] (Maiplaceo) Hiya Mike! at the 11/10 LIT premier in Hollywood, what did it feel like when you saw your fans were singing along and rocking out to the DVD(i caught a few glimpses of you guys smiling)? We all appreciated the opportunity to watch it with you guys (3 LPST/LPU socali crew (also the demo version of crawling would have been perfect for smokeout since it was raining buckets!!)

[20:34:37] (Mike Shinoda) that was wierd! we were sitting in the theatre watching the premier, and the LPU was in the theatre too. everybody was screaming and singing along the whole time. it was almost like i was at our show, in the audience. i was a little uncomfortable, but in a good way!

[20:34:54] (Mike Shinoda) haha

[20:35:06] (MidnightD) OMG i cant beleive i got in, im shaking! i just wanna start by saying you fucking rock! and youre such an inspiration to me (you stopped me cutting myself  ) and i wanna know where you get your inspirations and ideas for your lyrics, thanks so much!  

[20:35:15] (Mike Shinoda) thanks

[20:36:42] (Mike Shinoda) the lyrics are just about everyday stuff. getting mad about people around you, being excited about good things that happen, feeling alone or being with friends. we just try to be observant about our everyday lives and write about what we see and what we're going through, but broken down into the most central emotions

[20:37:04] (MissMaike) Hi Mike!! first i'd like to say i enjoyed your show in Berlin and hope to see you again in germany hehe =) Ok, here's my simple question: Where should I go abroad USA, Canada or Australia? Which one would you take? I can't decide for one of them  thank you for being here today!!! By the way your head isn't to big!  someone said so i've heard... ^^ i love u guys!

[20:43:13] (Mike Shinoda) next...

[20:43:20] (Mike Shinoda) ?

[20:43:24] (myaga) hey Mike, first of all I wanted to thank you guys for everything and finally invite you to Poland!! polish fans are waiting for you guys here! anyway, I heard a rumour here that you were going to add to Live In Texas "a movie report from a journey up Chester's body", it was said that Chester put an endoscope into his stomach and was filming himself from the inside during the concert in Texas - is that true? if yes, why didnt you add it 

[20:43:42] (Mike Shinoda) haven't been to poland. could be fun

[20:44:02] (Mike Shinoda) that's a pretty far-fetched rumor, dont'cha think?

[20:44:14] (Mike Shinoda) not true, but i wish it was

[20:44:47] (Mike Shinoda) can you imagine the person who made THAT one up? must be pretty crazy.

[20:44:47] (mySpeed) Yo mike! This is Tze Hern from singapore!!! Im staying up pretty late for this haha its 4.10am here!! I just want to say that it would be great if we could have the same previledges as USA residents for LPU3(example a tour to singapore?). We got a whole lot of LP fans here. www.onestepcloser.tk (-Fansite i made! speedlinkinpark.com (-email me! Hope to cya soon!

[20:45:26] (Mike Shinoda) we tour all year long, and we get to as many places as we can--hope to see you soon

[20:46:20] (mystiqke) Hey glue!! LOL...u guys are my favrourite band (ss was awesome, u guys were the best part!). Thanks for taking time out for this and I was wondering if you guys plan on doing any special events for LPUers in Canada or if ur planning on touring Canada anytime --)Amandeep (am-an-deep) from Toronto (Go Leafs)!!

[20:47:24] (Mike Shinoda) we'll try to get out there soon. no plans yet. our only touring pland at this point are the US dates in jan-feb. we haven't played the US in a little bit.

[20:47:28] (Mike Shinoda) BTW, it

[20:47:42] (Mike Shinoda) it's okay if people don't have ?s and they just wanna hang out in here

[20:47:50] (Mike Shinoda) (nexxxt)

[20:47:58] (My_Theory) What's up Mike, Josh from the Ohio LPST. In July at the Columbus Sum San, we gave you a hubcap (I handed it to Brad) that was signed by us from a 'get-together' in Cleveland - representing the Team and how LP's music brought us together.

[20:48:00] (My_Theory) First of all, do you remember it, and is it one of the strangest things someone has given you (LP)? Love the music guys, great work with LIT, and keep up the awesome work! Fellow 24 fan and Aquarius! The Wizard Song rules!

[20:49:00] (Mike Shinoda) thanks for the hubcap - that was funny. thanks, also, for the good work with the street team. keep it up, and let people know about "live in texas!"

[20:49:16] (Neo) Hey Mike! This is Emmy from Sweden! Do you guys decide where in the world you play concerts? And how, if and why did you decide to use the show in texas for the dvd? Hope you'll come to Denmark soon! Hugs from me and the rest of the LPU Koolish Klan  (btw, the LPU3 intro is awesome!  )

[20:50:24] (linkinjes) LPU3 signups just launched for those of you who have been in chat this whole time! And check out the new LPU3 intro...

[20:50:40] (Mike Shinoda) we don't decide where we play--it's too complicated to do. we have an agent, who is part of a company that schedules tours. we decided to film texas because it was logistcally right; we could get the cameras and permission, etc. and we knew texas would be a fun show 

[20:51:04] (Ninnut85) Hi Mike glad to see you back in the UK. My question is what is your favourite instrument to play? (coming to meet you guys at the Birmingham gig. Woohoo)

[20:51:06] (Mike Shinoda) we sometimes suggest things to our agent

[20:51:51] (Mike Shinoda) i have played piano and keyboard the longest, so i think that's probably my favorite. but guitar is fun b/c it's loud.

[20:52:10] (Notorious) hey mike.This edison from sydney and i wanted tell that u guys are the best band ever and u rocked the house at the sydney livid. is it true you guys are comin back to sydney in march?can i get hyrbid theory ep in australia and where?and um.. will u guys be touring china cause i might go back and see u and my friends says hi.

[20:58:52] (sirkku) Hey Mike! I bought Live In Texas dvd by post but it's not here yet (I cant wait that i get it..) But I'm interested what is your favourite colour? Btw, I hope that Linkin Park come to Finland as soon as possible.. You guys are the best!! 

[20:59:06] (Mike Shinoda) live in texas...joe breaking turntable

[20:59:35] (Mike Shinoda) favorite color of the moment...maybe bluish grey. or cool grey. with a little green.

[20:59:46] (sphinx) has it ever been your b'day and you had a show that day and someone came out on stage with a cake and everyone sung "happy b'day"? has that happend to anyone?also one more thing, can u get brad to give me some headphones

[21:00:24] (Mike Shinoda) nobody has brought a cake to me onstage. but we usually sing to anyone in the band who has a birthday.

[21:00:56] (StefaniB) Howdee Mike *waves* in the live in texas special, lars comes out with a pink fuzzy hat with ears and you act like it's weird that he's wearing it, when you have worn one before. How come you deny the spiffyness of the kitteh hat? Also.. the & symbol, does it remind you of milk, randomly? And, I'm going to take this opportunity to suggest that you guys include steak fangers, or meat sticks.. in the next lpu package. I think it would be genius, rando

[21:01:10] (Mike Shinoda) you don't want brad's headphones. they're sweaty

[21:01:41] (Mike Shinoda) the kitten hat: that man is lars ulrich from metallica. that was a historic moment for us

[21:01:55] (SwAmPyLP) first off you guys are AMAZING, i get chills listening to your music, an i had the best time at sanitarium at giants stadium, i cant stop talking about it to ppl!! last month i lost my voice doin chester's part of "in the end" in kareoke infront of 200 ppl haha it was awesome, i gotta give love to him and all of you guys! are they around now too? say what up to everyone from swampy & one day ill meet you hopefully .

[21:03:55] (thenextde) it's a crazy question but it's from my friend,Mary,she said that the live in texas sound system is not good.so to feel more like live, she needed more audience excitement. from me, i'll be sending a letter to u.something important(I have alot of problems, suffering alot).and good luck in everything u do.take care,yo.Are u coming back to Malaysia again?Didn't get the chance to attend the concert in Malaysia.I cried for a week(Day and Night wit
