I came across this article from 2003 and, apparently, there were live rehearsals without Hahn while he did B-roll shots for the "Numb" video. That's how I interpreted this anyway
It's a good start to exclude Meteora from your All-album-names-until-ATS-name to get respected on this forum! Just joking!
The Mike Shinoda Wikipedia article is officially certified as a "Good Article", which means that it's subjected to review by some higher Wiki editors and is rated/classified as organized, cited properly and well-written overall. (btw I wasn't responsible for that, but I contributed most of the chunks of the ATS article) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Shinoda
At the very least, you know that he works out and eats well, both to maintain his health and for his singing. Touring is quite the physical strain, especially for Chester. And Bourdon.
So, quick question... if the Session thread was to be brought back for The Rising Tied, how many of you would participate? And, if there's enough interest, would you prefer the FM discussion in the Session thread, or a new one being opened for it?
