A Decade Is A Long Time To

Right Now, When It Comes To Making An Album, We Really Want To Give Our Fans Just Linkin Park. We Don't Want To Water It Down With Anything Else Or Confuse It With Anything Else. Meteora Is Just Us And That's Where Our Focus Has Been. So Hopefully The Fans Can Enjoy That.

I Remember Being A Little Kid Sitting In The Living Room With My Brother And Some Friends From Around The Neighborhood, And I Would Sit At The Piano And As They Were Running Around The Room Doing Different Things And Being Silly, Acting Out, I Would Actually Play The Score For It - The Music That Went Along With It.

Global Warming. Every Day I Leave My House And Think, "was It This Hot Last Year?" The Heat This Summer Here In La And In Most Of The Us Has Been Unbearable. I Can't Remember Another Time When It Was 105 Degrees Fahrenheit Out Here (40.5 Celsius), And That's The Kind Of Weather We've Been Having Pretty Much Every Day.

I Was A Producer And Rapper Before Linkin Park. Once The Band Took Off, It Was The Center Of My Focus. A Couple Of Years Ago, I Started Missing Doing Straight-up Hip Hop, And That's When Fort Minor Began.

When I Was In High School, If My Favorite Band Got Too Popular, I'd Watch Carefully.
