Learn how the reunited nu-metal pioneers are taking on the world once again.
Linkin Park went on hiatus for seven years after lead vocalist Chester Bennington’s death in 2017, but last September, the band announced that they were returning with new music and a new lineup—including vocalist Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain. A new album, From Zero, was released in November 2024, followed by the single “Up From the Bottom” earlier this year, and this summer, the band tore off on an international arena and stadium comeback tour. Founding lead guitarist Brad Delson is still a creative member of the band, but has elected to step back from touring. And so on the road, Alex Feder takes his place alongside founding guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist Mike Shinoda, DJ Joe Hahn, and bassist Dave Farrell.
PG’s Chris Kies headed to downtown Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to meet up with Mike Shinoda, plus techs Mark, Ben, and Tracy, to learn how the band pulled off their much-anticipated gigs this year.

Mike Shinoda é um verdadeiro artista. Sou fã demais! Gênio
This one is been a really interesting one. Because of the bands music and number of members there are so many different things going on.
I wish mike had gone further deep in how he makes his synths ????
– So, we're finishing with you, Mike.
– No-no-no, let me show you the last thing…
My Head is Spinning From 6-9 different tunings ????
Shout out to the twitch stream fans ????????????????
Love this video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a great video!
Mike is so F cool
best bass's teck in the world
Mike the humblest musician ever ❤❤❤❤ and a great human being
24:55 IRA? touch control screen?
Cant seem to find it or hear properly what Mike said
Thank you for this video! ????????????????
3:40 that's true i'm decent guitar player so learned all new tracks in less than half an hour per song
Hearing the amount of detail that goes into their live shows it’s no wonder that they’re one of, if not the best live band on earth right now.
COUP is so much fun!
Amazing!!!
Keyboard part at the beginning is the intro to Burn it Down on their album Living Things.
13:15 That guitar was from the 'Somewhere I Belong' video. There's a close-up of it within the first twenty seconds of the video.
We need a Mr. Hahn rig rundown too.
48:37 The red guitar is a custom 22 with 22 frets? and the bridge pickup position is slightly different than a custom 24 with a vintage trem though same scale length?
It's super cool Mike gave so much of his time and also went over basics of his keyboard setup.
I'm 36, been a fan since I was 14!!!! Been a fan since 2003!!!!
Mike shinoda man what a legend. New Set up is amazing and a bit of a control Freak! But its Pasion man!
I go crazy! Watching this unbelievable rig rundown and suddenly my guitar appears ❤ This is exactly the SG modeI I bought in 1994, these open pickups, the fretboard, the colour, my favorite guitar ever since. Nothing comes close.
Very interesting. Mike's a really cool dude
It's kinda wild to me that they are mentioning drop D#, but never going into detail about how 5/6 of the strings are a half-step up from standard tuning.
I had always been under the impression that this could be a destructive amount of tension for guitars and strings, but clearly this doesn't seem to be the case.
I could listen to Mike talk for days & days. It’s just so comforting hearing him speak & describe how his mind works.
What are they running the guitars through?
That blue custom shop is GORGEOUS. Saw it in Brooklyn both times. Gorgeous.
