good to hear Mike's laugh
I'm crying :'(
me too
Velma Warren seriously???? Why the F are you here? Shame on both of you! Obviously you are just a sick pariah. You need a LOT of help. This forum is not for this kind of shit. Just go the fuck away!
Krissy Kaotic , thank you so much! I'm kinda new to this and didn't even think of that. I was so shocked that people would do something so disrespectful :(
Anyway, YOU are amazing !
Keep shining 💖

Nothing gives me more joy than listening to Mike speak.
Oli Chatterjee I've said for years I could listen to him describe paint drying. I loved Chester, but I worship Mike. I just love him so much.
Just the pure... pain in his voice. There were a few moments where he clearly was getting really close to tears. But he kept his head up and looked at the better things. This is what we all need to do in these times. Much love to every single one of you out there. Every. Single. One. ❤️
"But the sound of your voice, puts the pain in reverse. No surrender. No illusions. And for better or worse"
MegaCrasherMusic
I didn't say that. Of course you can cry and grieve. But you can keep your head up and look at the better things at the same time. I have lost someone special to me, and it's ongoing because they're still here and it seems to worsen the longer I'm around. I know it's not always easy to be upbeat and happy because I almost never am, but I just wanted to possibly help someone else feel better. I'm sorry I offended you.
It's so damn hard to listen to this without choking up every other minute while wiping tears off my face
... I can't imagine the emotions on October 27th..
Rob Jr. What's gonna happen October 27?
Rob Jr. You spoke exactly what I feel
+El Tio Brizu The band's doing a tribute concert for Chester at the Hollywood Bowl.
Thats the same day that some dumbass says the world is going to end at that day (I dont believe that)
Pretty sure its the 23rd when the world is apparently supposed to end.....again.....for the hundredth time.
I can sense the pain in his voice
amardeep rehal same here
amardeep rehal I just started and when he asked him how he's doing u can tell by how he said okay that's theres so much pain inside :(
yeah, like If you see his previous interviews, his voice is like a jolly fellow but this one, it's like holding so much back, but you can't throw up because there are 100 million people following you. I hope he doesn't breaks down during LA show like corey taylor.
amardeep rehal if he breaks down thats ok coz he's closest to chester, even we break down when we are just fans and just watch their videos. He's only human. And chester was their friend and frontman. He has every right to break down. U get what i mean?
Yes do I strongly agree with you, it's just sad like movie trailer where you have that first part shown success, happiness, etc and then, the dark part - "from here everything won't be the same". waiting for October.
How strong Mike is.
There's no denying the pain and sorrow he is still going through yet he talks about being grateful to fans and about Chester's amazing personality.
I wouldn't mind the rollercoaster of emotions during the event
I would love to laugh with them about good memories, cry with them over the huge void left behind, and celebrate Chester with the guys
But I live miles and miles away in a far away country.
Same as me. I live so far away too! :'(
same...
same. I live in Europe so ... :(
IcantPickaBias same
Couldn't have said it better myself
One thing that's upset me the most about Chester's death has been the way the media has talked about nothing *but* his death - very few have bothered to remember the life that came before and everything this wonderful man contributed. Although it breaks my heart imagining how scared the guys must be to perform again, I'm so proud of them for making this about his LIFE. They've handled this with such dignity and grace, and not allowed Chester to become overshadowed by his passing. I love you, LP.
What a great comment! I agree with you! :")
Melissa .Garrett never expect media to come up with more than the straight facts...
"celebrate life in honor of Chester Bennington"
I can't explain how happy I am that they do it that way.
At 4:49 Mike's voice is breaking tho😭
hanamimi yes, It makes me cry too
When he said that "sometimes that's enough," I think we all thought the same thing afterwards, including Mike. :'(
Beezeecade yeah...💔
Yeah. It's also pretty raspy and about two notes lower. Chester broke Mike Shinoda's heart
hanamimi I am fucking Crying
Just keep going L.P. I love you Mike Shinoda
Lee Lyn without Chester there is no Linkin Park. That's just my opinion.
Draven BBS we have to move on❤❤❤ yeah linkinpark will never be the same again but we have to accept the fact that he is gone!!! Even me myself still living in denial, it hurts, hope that you found peace Chester if where you are now..💋❤❤❤
Lee Lyn You're right we have to move on. It's going to be hard but it has to happen. I'm still shocked he's gone I miss Chester so much 😭. God bless you ❤️❤️❤️
It's true, he's gone and it won't be the same, but these dudes will always be family and I personally want them to continue to make music together as Linkin Park. I think Chester would want them to continue as well.
Dimius you nailed it 😊😊😊 lets support them all the way..❤❤❤
My heart breaks for mike. He lost his best friend:(
Candy Miller feel his pain xx
I could only get to "well it's been two months since chester passed away" before breaking down 😔
It´s like medicine to hear his voice again
Lia M. Yes absolutely
This interview made me cry! As well as the One More Light music video! I'm still crying now!
Rhianna C Spiers Me too. Was not expecting to feel so much today.
I still can't watch it...
To hear Mikes voice again after this long time.. makes me so fucking cry.. I'm so glad to hear him..
Interviewer: "... we are glad that you guys are doing well ..ih...you now...in spite of" Mike: "mhh". So telling.
bbtalk27 damn, you guys are so ungrateful. These guys brought you the interview to you. And means we'll when he say that. And obviously they are doing well. They are planning events and stuff. Ok, well. Who cares.
I also find it weird that the interviewer said in a disinterested way about Talinda that "she's awesome". I don't know if it's me but how the hell can he know she's awesome and why is that relevant. Also when they're talking about things that are way off the topic of Chester Bennington's death. It just makes the interview sound weird and insincere.
Mikes lost a lot of weight
Agreed. Bless him.
Mike is such a strong person ;_;
I actually feel panicked when I think of a world without Chester!
Can't. Stop. Crying. **wipes tears** Mike sounded upbeat at the beginning, yes, but the moment he talked about One More Light, it's clear that he's holding himself back from breaking, especially at @4:49 when he talked about Chester sang the song. And he sounded sad ever since. I wonder who was it that's so scared to go on stage again, whether it's Rob or Brad who have been so quiet since the tragedy 2 months ago. I hope this tribute concert to Chester will be the start of the healing process for all of them and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives.
thank you so much for this
First time I've heard an interview from Mike or even anyone in Linkin Park since Chester's passing. God bless.
RSP Shout is this the first interview he’s has had since Chester passed?
tangelai0111 yes it is.
I'm happy that Mike is fine, he's really proud of their fans
I love how Mike is always the heart of the band, speaking out, taking care of everybody, being positive and strong. Mike is an amazing person, you can clearly see he's always having fun doing music and enjoys it so much, and at the same time it is so heartbreaking thinking about Chester, who struggled all those years trying to fight the "darkness" that followed him and now, listening to his voice.. we can all hear the pain in it. I am sure it is extremely hard for everyone in the band and their whole LP family to go through this, but I am so happy that Mike is the same strong positive person, who tries to take the best out of everything. This show is going to be the closure we all need. I am so thankful Talida is speaking out and trying to be positive, helping people, and I know Mike will do the same. Thank you guys, for real.
lnwxay he's the glue
We love Mike!
He's like the father figure of the band.
Mike's voice... OMG, it's like a voice of very close person. Quiet and so pleasant... Glad to hear this like I see the light in the end of tonnel. I will love them forever. So disapointed that couldn't be on the show... but I hope that I can see it with your eyes guys here... How r u all, guys?
Анастасия Медведева До сих пор не могу в это поверить. Это так больно. Но я пытаюсь, пытаюсь
How I missed this Voice! I love Mike more than word can explain.
"It's gonna be a roller coaster of emotions..."
Man, that got me really teared up. Imagining mike holding back tears and desperate not to sob on stage, just like what chester did while singing one more light at jimmy kimmel live in memory of chris.
I don't think that he will hold back his tears or any bandmate durng the concert. Like he said on Twitter "We will be playing, laughing, and crying together at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 27th, in honor of Chester. Love you guys."

This is the only thing why I would want Time Portal
Happy Birthday, Talinda. Hope you're okay. *hugs
Mike is such a great guy!!!
thank you so much, i was freaking out because i couldn't find a proper link to listen to it online, thank you thank you thank you
U can feel his voice almost on the brink of breaking so many times....especially when he talks about OML... He had to gulp and compose himself...
Can't imagine what they're going through.
27th Oct is gonna be one hell of a rough day!
#lpfamily #always
Hearing Mike speak of Chester in past tense is so heart wrenching.
"Hey I'm thinking about you. I care. And sometimes that's enough." Well.. Freaking true. It's so relieving to hear his strong words too, though.
4:52 I thought he was going to cry.. this is so fucking sad man
But life goes on :(
You can actually hear mike's voice breaking 😭
:( Bless him.
In most of the interviews mike and chester were together, fucking sad now Mike is alone and he's in pain 😭
This all just feels so incredibly surreal. I still just can't believe it. LP has meant so much to me for so many years of my life. My heart breaks over and over with such an incredible loss of a powerful artist and person.
#fuckdepression #wemissyouchester #MakeChesterProud
We love you so much. We always support you ❣️💔
Ulrike 1978 you dont have to cuss you dont look any cooler
I think this is the first time mike spoke out since Chester passed. I can't imagine how hard it is for him to not just start breaking out. You can tell he is trying hard to stay positive. I love how strong they all are ❤️ linkin park forever!!
This is so emotional but it's so good to hear his voice again ❤
Every time Chester screamed "I do" toward the end of One More Light=goosebumps.
Still can't believe it, wish it was nightmare :'(
Thank you very much for this link. Chester we miss you, and as Mike has said, you are a wonderful person who gave us strength and positive things despite that "dark side" that gave fuel and energy to Linkin Park. LA will give you the tribute you deserve. A big hug for LP and LP fans.
THANK YOU for sharing. I was just finished watching the One More Light video and my heart was completely shattered. I was walking around NYC aimlessly. Hearing Mike and his sense of humor and the band's bravery in wanting to perform for us! Made me feel better! Thank you soo much
I really admire Mike Shinoda. Not only is he an incredibly gifted and hard-working artist, but always communicates with such a positive attitude, even during a dark time like this. Thanks for all the epic music and inspiration.
That line at the end by Mike is the best. "Thanks to everybody listening too." I felt that. It truly is great to hear from them again despite everything.
I can hear the pain in his voice, it's so clear... But that has only increased my love and respect for Mike. In spite of everything that has happened and how it affects him, he still talked to us. And not only through social media but now also on the radio. I can't even imagine how he - and the other guys&Chesters family of course - must feel. The fact that he reaches out to us is just... it's just downright special and emotional and ugh I don't even have the words. I'm really fucking proud of him, and I know that the LP family will always have not only his back, but also the other guys' and Chesters family their backs. One day at a time. We will remember Chester forever
Totally agree. So much respect to poor Mike
Loosing Chester and my best friend Becky is so heartbreaking. Thank you for the song.
Laura Gadille stay strong. 💪
Please stay strong..
Stay strong
I'm so sorry
Thnk u
Finding out they're honoring his passing on my birthday just made my day.
I just can't believe that Chester is not here. We miss you man, you are not just one more light, you are a part of us, a part of our childhood.
Thanks for this interview, Mike. You all are the best!
Imagine them live. Everytime Chesters part comes they play it with the pc, and evryone cries :(
Really great to hear your voice!
I HEAR YOU MIKE & I FEEL YOUR PAIN OF LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVED & CARE DEEPLY ABOUT! WE ARE HEAR FOR YOU, JOE, DAVE, ROB, & BRAD!!
mike is such a nice guy... I love mike
It’s so hard to see that things are moving on without Chester, those 2 month felt kind of empty for me, and for a lot of people here i guess...
But it really helps to hear mike’s voice...
Thank you LPA to share this with us !
Does anyone know if there will be a live stream of the show ?
Anyway, i think it’s such a symbolic date to honor his memory, just a few days after hybrid theory’s birthday.
I'm crying so hard it's blurry but Mike and the rest of the band member, we are here for you. We care❤️ Any LP fans who think the world will be better without them, fck no. You are so worth it. Remember us fans are here for you too❤️
The "Two months since Chester passed away..." was enough thank you... bye
Stay strong everyone
Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm glad to hear his voice.
I got my tickets to this show today. I hope this will be a good time for everyone, and a source of some closure.
Been a fan of the band since the first album so i've certainly had a connection with the band. I love this interview though, it's nice to hear from the band and how they're doing and what's happening
Mike shnizzle - The Glue.
He's like that one really good friend who neutral things up so everything doesnt falls apart. Great individual.
Chester was calling him Mike Shnizzle as a joke. There is a video where Chester was calling Mike names like Spike Minoda. XD
Linkin Park is good music. Glad I got to catch this interview
Thanks so much LPAssociation. It's amazing hear the mike voice. Blessings from Chile
Thank you guys of LPA , we appreciate your job and efforts.
Can't wait to see it. Chester was a god! L.P smash it for Chester. X
Thank you for this interview.
Thank you Mike it was so good to hear you ♥
It is so good to hear Mike's voice and to hear his laugh again. I miss Chester so much and you can clearly hear that he does too and still has a lot of pain. Chester and Mike were huge inspirations for me and with Chester being gone, Mike is still something/someone I look to to smile when I have needed it (probably more than ever) these past two months. I love LP so much. ❤️ I hope the others are doing okay as well.
Thanks much for this :)
It's rly great to hear his voice after this time. I hope that the event will be available online to watch. It'd be great :)
Thank you, thank you for posting this ❤️😘💕👍
I cried during this whole interview.
So great to hear Mike in an interview like this. You can tell how broken up he is, but he's still keeping his head up. Good for you Mike. Stay strong, Shinoda. The fans still need Linkin Park. We need you guys.
Thanks for this! Tried so hard to live stream. Heart still breaks for Chester :(
thanks so much for uploading!
God I miss Chester and wish I could've got to see lp live they were the first group I got into listening to music as a kid R.I.P Chester lp forever!
If us,the fans,are broken i can't imagine what his family and rest of the band are going through
So glad everyone is doing well. It was good to hear Mikes voice again. Thank you for the interview KROQ.
Rest in paradise, Chester! To say you'll be missed is the understatement of the decade. Wherever you are, know that you are loved. ...And you always will be 💛
Sending strength to the incredible members of Linkin Park and to every fan who may need a little extra love today, tomorrow and for always.
Hugs from Cape Breton
Thanks for uploading
Chester's death was a very painful memory but I cant believe that Mike can hold in all that sadness
Thank you for posting this!
it's so good to hear his voice. the guys are so strong and i know that they're gonna get through this even though the hole in their hearts will never be filled by anyone else ever again. i miss Chester so much and i know that he'd be proud of everything the guys are doing. i love them so much and hearing Mike's voice and his laugh gives me comfort in this hard time ❤️
I want to hug him so bad.
I respect them so much for going on that stage in October. I really hope it's gonna be livestream too
Thank you for uploading this
Man it's so nice to hear Mike and just anything about how they're all doing. 💜
Thank you so much
Mike, stay strong, we love you so much and thankful for the way you handling this extremely difficult time.
Its been 2 months...2 months of sadness.R.I.P Chester Bennington.
It's so good to hear Mike laugh. I feel sad for the guys that are apprehensive about playing without Chester and I hope they know that we support them no matter what. I think it will be healing for everyone involved. The Vegas memorial and following Talinda on Twitter have really helped me start to move on.
Peace and love to all my fellow soldiers, we are all in this together. ❤️You all 🤘
Still so broken hearted about Chester. :( How can you feel like this about someone you never met? Thank you to all of Linkin Park for being there for us fans, wish I could be there for you in your pain. It's nice to hear that you will continue on after this. That helps us to keep his memory, as well as you. You are all in my thoughts, his family also.
Mike's voice never ceases to be medicine to my soul. Thank you, so much Mike, for being the strength for the fans and the genuine spirit who never stops caring. Who cares if one more light goes out? Well, WE do!!!
I was my whole life a big fan of this band and there is this last consert! as a normal guy from vienna i guess there is never been a way to get there and listen to them but i hope they stream the shit out of there so i can watch it at home
They should stream it on their CZcams channel so they could reach even more people to warch the Concert.
The fact that he had the strength to talk like this , makes u hopeful and to be more positive. #staystronglp thank you for this
I love y'all, and I care. If anyone of you guys in the comments need to talk. I'm here ❤️
thank u!
I have been a fan since the beginning. I am now 54 and still with them. My heart was broken and still hurts.. so good to hear Mike so positive.
it's very comforting to hear mike's voice
I'm so happy to hear Mike's voice again. I can't even begin to imagine how tough it must be for him, the rest of the band and Talinda. You guys handle it with a lot of care and dignity, and I wish you all the best in the future. Won't be able to see you guys live unfortunately, but I will always be there, making tributes and doing my best to support you. Thank you for everything.
I love u guys so much and I am very sad that I can't come to the show in honour of Chester just because I am living so far away😔
