Pedal to the Metal - Chester's interview with Taipei Times

Chester's interview with Taipei Times - Taiwan


Pedal to the metal
By Ron Brownlow
STAFF REPORTER
Wednesday, Jul 08, 2009, Page 14

Taipei Times: In the late-1990s, after listening to a demo, you quit your job and moved your family to California to join Lincoln Park. What made you do that?

Chester Bennington: A little man that lives inside my head [pauses for effect]. I’m a very emotional person, I’m a very gut kind of guy. I would say that in a lot of ways if you looked at how [Linkin Park’s other frontman] Mike Shinoda looks at things and how I look at things, we probably look at things in two different ways but we somehow come to the same conclusion. So I didn’t analyze it very much. I find that when I just go with my gut and I just go with the whisper that’s in my heart, in my head, it generally tells me the right choice to make. When I over-analyze I find myself in trouble. So when I heard the demo I was like, “I’ll go out there.” When I heard the music I knew right away that it was nothing like anything I had ever heard before. That sometimes can be really bad [laughs]. In this case it was really good, and right when I heard the music all sorts of really great melodies started popping into my head and I was like, “This is a sign. I need to go, I need to do this. I need to go out there. This is the real deal.”

And when I moved out there I did see that it was the real deal. From the very first day of practices we were already a kick-ass bad. I was like, “This is a no-brainer. This is my chance. I’m only going to get one opportunity to do this. I want to do this with my life and if I don’t take chances to make it happen then it’s not going to happen.” So I quit my job, moved out, moved to Mike Shinoda’s couch, lived in the back of my car, in a really shitty apartment that had the roof cave in on it. And while doing that pretty much made a record that changed six guys from various parts of southern California and one guy from Arizona’s life completely for the rest of their existence [laughs]. It could have very easily turned out to be nothing at the same time. It could have been a fine experience and I could tell my grandkids, “Yeah, at one time I moved out to California to try to be in this band.” It could have been one of those things too. But I knew somewhere inside, something told me, “This is the one, you need to go.”


Someone write me a young, struggling LP fic please?

This interview is pretty interesting. Tell us some anecdotes of Linkin Park when they just started out, how they rose to fame with their effort and Chester's own hard time back in 05, 06. Also, it's confirmed that Rick Rubin will be their producer for the next album. Rick is a great producer and with MTM, he surely got to know Linkin Park, so we could only hope that the boys will pull off an uber amazing album this time and don't let the fans down. Read the rest of the interview HERE for more information.

Krwlng Bennoda Fan Animated Movie

I think I just died and went to heaven! Remember the EPIC fan cartoon of TYshangshan we mentioned a few posts earlier? She finally posted the video. Beautiful artworks combined with the haunting music of Krwlng (my favorite track from my favorite album, oh dear) makes this purely wonderful. I have a lack of words to describe how much I'm head over heels in love with this artwork of her. It's so awesome I think I'm gonna cry.

Ignore my emofanboi talk, enjoy her art yourself.

Chester: "... I saw Mike stripped."

Mike:*laughs* "Chester... it was you."

Chester: "What? ...I don't give a shit."

Mike: "No, you don't give a shit. Thank you guys very much for coming tonight..."

Chester: "You're just fucking jealous dude, cause I got superman undies on."

Mike: "Alright fine you fucking tempted me. Check this out, we always ask for underwear and sock in our dressing rooms, we always do because we sweat a lot. And we want to put on clean ones after the show--"

Chester: "It's fucking true--"

Mike: *points to Chester* "Show them the back side, fucking Superman undies tonight, that's what they gave us okay. Thank you---"

Chester: "I wanna thank whoever picked those up cause they rule. They fucking rule."

Mike: "AND YOU BEEN ON STAGE THE WHOLE TIME AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN FUCKING KNOW!!"

Chester: "Whatever dude, my ass isn't hanging on my face all night."


Whenever these two guys are together, something hilarious will happen ;))

Mike and Chester interview with MTV 25 June 09

Mike and Chester had an interview with MTV about New Divide, Dead By Sunrise and their upcoming semi-conceptual album.

What they have to say about Chester's solo project:

And that "different" music starts with Bennington's Sunrise, a long-in-the-works project that the singer says will finally see the light of day in September. And in keeping with what Shinoda was saying, Bennington is warning Linkin Park fans to prepare to be shocked by what they'll hear. Oh, and to fire up their black lights too.

"There's a stylistic thing that's different. With Linkin Park, we have a signature sound — you know it when you hear us. [Dead by Sunrise] does not have that feel. It has a completely different feel. Trying to describe that difference is like trying to describe the difference between Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, you know?" he said. "They're both rock, but they're different styles. I'm confident in saying this next record is going to be the most challenging ... and complex and intriguing music that has come out of the Linkin Park camp. It's really dark. It's like post-apocalyptic 'Blade Runner' meets LSD."

"I have to say, I'm really proud of Chester — he has his own style. ... You know how they say you can turn on Pink Floyd and 'The Wizard of Oz' and they go together?" Shinoda added. "You'll want to put this record on with 'Blade Runner' and 'Tron.' "

"Or 'Blade Runner' and 'Tron' and 'A Clockwork Orange,' all at the same time," Bennington laughed.



Yet another time Mike has to voice out how much he's proud of his boy. Yes, we know Mike. We know ;)

Last but not least, I don't know how I could be unaware of this but TYshangshan posted a screencaps board of her graduation movie/project one month ago and it's one of the most EPIC fanart/fancartoon I have ever seen. I was speechless after seeing this, even tho I don't exactly get the storeline (sue me, I'm old and slow already). I definitely want to see this movie! Fantastic!
