http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuN1vr3ylD8 its from smallville and Mike is singing in the middle part but when i checked my collection i dint find it...so can anyone help me.. If u knw the title and artist. thanks
1. It's Bring Me to Life by Evanescence 2. That's not Mike singing 3. This has nothing to do with Linkin Park, and therefore is in the wrong forum *moves*
Although the record label did consult Amy Lee to ask Mike to get on the song and she didn't want to. According to some interview with Mike that I read back in 2004
Yea Amy even asked Mike, and he said no. Told Evanescence they 'needed to be their own band' or something. ie. Don't try and jump on our success, make your own. But it's a damn good song nonetheless.
Yeah, the band didn't even want to put male vocals on the song (If you search, you can find the original that's just Amy Lee singing and that's how they play it live now)
they play it like that now (without male vox) 'cause john left. i sort of stopped liking evanescence after that, i saw it like i do now -- amy and company. she just fires anyone she wants and, the way i see it, terry should jump ship before he's dropped or something, he's the last one of the previous incarnation of the band which is hanging on by a thread. but, on topic, it was chester who spoke with amy. and amy didn't want to ask mike, knowing he would refuse. this is an excerpt from the article in revolver: "It's funny," Chester said. "I met them [EVANESCENCE] in the studio when they were recording their record. We were both recording in the same building. I was talking to [singer Amy Lee]. And she was nice. She said, 'We're having these problems. Everyone at our label wants us to be you.' I told her that's lame. She agreed. She said they went as far as wanting to ask Mike [Shinoda, LINKIN PARK's second singer] to do a part on a song. She said, 'We knew he wouldn't do it.' So they're running around trying to get guys in other bands to do it like he would. ' I told her to be herself and tell the label to put it where the sun doesn't shine. But the next thing I heard was 'Bring Me to Life' with a guy that sounded just like Mike. It was a little upsetting."
