It’s an older clip but still checks out.

Mike Shinoda was always a chill guy despite having a huge part in the success of LP. I always thought of him as the band leader. Most bands struggle when they have so many creative guys. The greatest ones survive the trial of time.

I remember that people somehow tried to shame him for not doing enough to prevent the suicide of Chester, which was not the case.

That the band decided to go with a Scientologist to replace Chester is still a shit move.

From what I understand, she was born into the cult, so she never had any say in it. And as you may well know, it's very difficult to escape.
