What’s up Rob??
Happy belated birthday!
My question for you is in what ways do you cope with being on tour for so long, then going home and trying to balance your family / social life and then jumping back into writing for a new album?

#76

Hey Rob, I was wondering if the band could PLEASE start the next tour, beginning in the cities in which the tour was cancelled last year due to Chester’s broken ankle!

Thank You :wink:

Hi Rob!

How much does the label influence in the album process? You guys have trully free creative space, or the label inputs some marketing/commercial limitations? (Which not necessarily is a bad thing).

Thank you very much

If you could go back to before you were famous, would you still make the same choice?

The guys at Linkin Park Association did a podcast episode last month where they interviewed Shinoda and actually asked him basically this exact question. You can check out what he had to say here. :slight_smile:

Hi Rob!

Everybody knows that LP members are all the way talented and produce many activities beyond the band.
Actually some might say, that is kinda’ super power of yours.
My question:
have you ever considered some activities like comic books telling about LP or some action figures.
That’s a great collecting stuff that could be highly valued by the fans, you know.

It’s like Super-man or Spyder-man, who have their own toys and comic books… or the other super heroes, which YOU guys definately ARE!

Hello Rob, I know that you like playing the piano. I would like to ask, if there is any chance seeing you playing the piano someday in the future (for example at summit)? :slightly_smiling:

First of all: Happy belated birthday, Rob, because you don’t have Twitter. Or you have and we all don’t know about it :wink:

  1. What is your favorite instrumental demo over the past years? (Mine is “Pale” and “Halo” from LPU X:Demos, but I really love the demos)

  2. What’s your fav book? Did you’ve read Anna’s book? I really love it.

  3. How is your vegan diet going? I’m vegetarien for 10 years now, which made me proud.

  4. Do you have any pets? Dogs? Or a grumpy cat?

  5. HAve you seen the new Star Wars movie? You need it… Movie’s awesome!

So, that’s all of it.
Greetings from Germany by Kat :wink:

Hi Rob :slight_smile:
(and happy belated birthday)

Here is my question: Are you thinking of playing your other albums live in their entirety like you did with Hybrid Theory (and if you would have to choose which one, what would it be)?

Looking forward to seeing LP live again! Thanks :smiley:

Since, I never got to wish you ever personally; Happy belated birthday, Rob.

Hi, I’m Debol from India. I don’t know if you’ll be able to scroll down to this question; I’d be the luckiest if you do. Just a couple of questions, if I don’t, I’d be doing injustice to your fans from India.

  1. Why doesn’t LP ever plan of a tour in India? Maybe many don’t believe but LP has its most fans from India only, being the 2nd most populous in this world. LP gotta do justice to its fans here in India. Do we have a plan of an Indian tour in the future, ever?

  2. Does LP has any plans of another mashup album like that of with Jay-Z? We hip hop fans would love one with Eminem, that’d be a dream come true for millions of fans.

It’s 2016 and it’s still LP, that very thought gives me goosebumps. Fans will love when the 7th album will bring you the 3rd Grammy, it’s been a long wait. Stay young. Love you lots.
