_{Awesome that you guys are trying this out! Hopefully it will make the chat’s less hectic and more enjoyable for everyone, as well as bring traffic to the forums at the same time. I guess you’d have to see how this one goes, but I think there might need to be a bit more rules to this, like one question per post to organize things, and trying to keep non-question posts to a minimum. Also no making your posts obnoxious looking with editing for attention to get 's. Anyways, my question:}

Seeing as Hybrid Theory just hit it’s 15th year, looking back, is there anything you think you would have changed with the album, or do you think it was perfect how it ended up?

Also, the obligatory: Come to my country!

[minuteforce]

I’ve always wanted to ask Bourdon if his rigorous practice-based approach when recording Linkin Park albums was something he was able to apply while making “A Thousand Suns” when the band was heavy on improvisation and impulsiveness

[evooba]

Nice, I like the idea of trying to make the chats less chaotic and have questions ready, almost like the old tmes. Agreed with @TripleXero’s comment about the rules though, maybe do something like one comment per person thing?

So, my question:
Music For Relief recently celebrated 10 years. What is the greatest achievement of MFR so far in your opinion and where do you see the organization in another 10 years?

[theearlywalker]

Yeah great, Rob´s comming, Me as a real-Rob-Power-Drummer fan, I´m happy,
My Q will b
Hi powefullest drummer of all
0) where you got your mental force from, even on cloudy/rainy days down there in Californiia and not fitting exp during the studio process?

1. if not on tour and drumming 3-4 Shows a week, how do you manageto channel the power of your energy/adrenalin commingfrom the inside out??? I other words: Have you got time for a hobby and if yes, what are you doing in lil spare time?

2. Are you belive in any kind of further instance afteer life? Where do you think, are we going to, if dead, ex Lemmy, Bowie etc…In other words: Do you believe in sth?

3. How do you feel if a crowd of xxxxxxxxthousand applause you after one of your soloparts, st I think, you´re like in a channel and fix it even up to go on for a last rest round on your snares…lol adorable

[coon]

Awesome!
Here is my question: what is the limit of your skill? It maybe breakneck speed? Or very long complex solos?

And one more - what was the most difficult in the beginning of a careerand and what has become difficult at the moment?

[hybrydkaatirea]

Q1: Do you know what happened with video recorded by MTV on your show in Wroclaw, Poland almost 2 years ago? A lot of parts of this show were shown in MTV: The Ride and it’s obvious they recorded at least 8-9 full songs.

[hybrydkaatirea]

Q2: What song is the 17th Minutes To Midnight song? We know 12 from the album + Across The Line, Blackbirds, What We Don’t Know and No Roads Left (16 in total). That 17th song is released yet (like Chance of Rain, Pretend To Be etc) or not?

[samuel_the_leader]

This year marks 20 years since Linkin Park started (as Xero) in 1996. I know you are one of the starting members, so exactly what month and what day of 1996 did the band start?

[iriis]

Hey there my question is: what do you think or what’s going on in your mind if you see that fans have planed some Flashmobs for your shows? Like in Berlin (during the Ballad Medley and Bleed It Out)
Can’t wait to see you guys again!

[colinreid1]

Hi Rob

Has it been a challenge for you this time around to play the drums around the guys lyrics instead of the other way around with just the music?!?

Colin Reid from Scotland

[julianyfreire]

Hi, Rob!
We know you’re focused in the creation of the new album, but do you have some intention to make a few shows along this year or do we have to wait the debut of the album?

Juliany Freire from Brazil.

[AlineLPfan]

1. If you could collaborate with any artist, who would you want to collaborate with?

2. What do you do in your leasure time when you’re on tour?

3. Do you enjoy reading? What is your favorite book?

Love and Greetings from Germany

Hey Rob.

What do you and the guys do for downtime when you’re not touring? Are you ever tempted to break out Guitar Hero or Rock band?
