Your Question For Rob Bourdon - Upcoming LPU Chat (new Q&A)

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?

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.

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?

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?!?

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?
