More than likely this video and interview was recorded before the big STP reveal... So I'm sure that Chester was referring to that new partnership rather than Linkin Park. Especially the way he phrases it without mentioning the band at all, and uses the word "dabbling" as if it's not exactly important to the 'core' of the band. Just my 2 cents.
Nope, it's Complimentary. It's one of the five demos Mike made for Stagelight back in December last year. It was done in a day, apparently.
Amy lee, or another rap artist Eminem that would be fucking HUGE! But i doubt eminem would ever go for that maybe KW?
I've always thought that Ariel from Icon For Hire and Eminem would be good collaboration possibilities. Or Lzzy Hale from Halestorm.
I'm questioning all these comments about these mainstream rap crap artists for collaborations. I rather them to do some work with Lupe since Mike already helped produce music with him. Or collab with Thirty Seconds to Mars
Yes, that would be kinda awesome. Definitely Amy Lee or Lacy Mosley would be awesome too. Amy Lee wanted Chester and Mike and Chester on Bring Me To Life. I think that song would sound better with them on it but they declined the offer.
...I can't believe most of the collab suggestions in this thread. Is it just me, or is collaborating becoming a more popular thing in rock/alternative music nowadays? It always seemed more limited to rap and pop, but recently we've seen Trent Reznor do work with Queens Of The Stone Age on their album, Dave Grohl and everyone he worked with on the Sound City soundtrack music, Paul McCartney did work with "Nirvana," Thom Yorke and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack are doing a film score together. Collaborations like that used to be really few and far between (at least that's how it seemed to me), but there seem to have been a lot of notable examples recently.
Honestly, the artists everyone mentioned would be terrible for LP collabs imo. They need to collab with some of the people they've been checking out such as Brad (Imagine Dragons), Mike (Death Grips, Grimes), or Chester (STP). They need to dabble with artists who experiment like them, not stick to one thing their entire career. It'd be awesome if they could do another collab with more Arcade Fire people, so long as the mixer doesn't mix whatever they do so incredibly fucking low.
I don't know for some reason, I still feel weird Chester joining STP. lol. It's all good, though. I think LP should collaborate to bands you're not expecting them to be with. Something unexpected. lol. I'm putting too much expectations. Glad to know they're doing new music.
