Dosadno je, užasno, još više k tomu kaj sam još uvijek bolesna. Našla sam još Mikeovih i Chesterovih citata, pa da vam ih stavim. (a ima ih jako puno...)
"Move over guys. Make room for Avril Lavigne, she's a big star. We're only a little rock band (being sarcastic)" - Chester
Chester: We kind of just like ninjas and dark tunnels and fire.
Mike: And guys with big hair that look like werewolves.
Chester: Grr! Arr!
Brad: I want to know if Joe Hahn sleeps in the nude?
Mike: Yes he does.
Chester: "There was another time when Mike was in a really foul mood and we had to make a pit stop so he could use the porta potty.
Mike: "CHESTER?"
Joe: "I remember this one!"
Chester: "Anyways, Mike went to use the porta Potty and we were in the RV, It was Joe's Idea, But we all got out and started to rock the thing back and forth. We didn't mean to, but we ended up tipping the porta potty over while Mike was still in it".
Mike: "That's not funny!'
Joe: "Yeah it was. You should have seen the look on his face when you got outta there!"
Rob: "Mike was covered in crap, he had to strip down before we let him back on the bus because he smelled so bad!"
Chester: "Then we attacked him with air freshener."
Brad: "Lysol!"
Chester: And here is our bedroom
Brad: yeah it's our bedroom
Chester: No, it's not our bedroom, it belongs to my wife and I
CHESTER:
and they made me in college in a chemistry class. They copied Frankenstein's work and used pieces of dead people, which is why I have to wear this (touches his spiked collar), to hide the scar tissue.
MIKE:
except we were in art school. That was the whole problem. In art school, and there were no really good chemistry classes - so look what we came up with!
Interviewer: Have you ever considered cuddling with a Popple or a Wuzzle or even perhaps a Madball while on stage?
Mike: No, but I've considered setting one on fire, extinguishing it with my urine, smashing it flat with my noggin, and eating it with a side of Mongolian beef.
Chester: Shut up when I'm talking to you before I whip out my friend and give you mushroom stamps!
Mike: Yeah, your little friend haha!
Chester: Oh you would know wouldn't you?
Mike: Oh baby, you know it!
"I met Chester at the Brixton show in the UK "-Brad
"Chester signed my boob. "-Mike
"Me too!" -Joe
"I gave him a bracelet" -Brad
"It seems like a lot of more mainstream type kids are getting into what we are doing. When i was in high school, if certain people started liking my bands, I felt like I couldn't like that band anymore; it was like, the idiots were ruining it for me. I don't want to alienate our real fans, you know? I don't want the kids who were with us from the early days to feel like there isn't room for them anymore." - Mike Shinoda
Mike: Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
Chester: And sometimes you feel like my nutts.
Mike: I chipped a tooth on a microphone once. I hurt my back in the pit. Chester got spit on. We got human fescies thrown on us. We got a sign one time when we were playing with Union Underground a couple of months ago that said, "Go Back To The Suburbs". Chester held it up and said, "We love fan mail." In the beginning they were talking some trash but by the end they were signing up for our street team. Chester kissed both of them on the face. The kids standing around were rolling on the floor laughing. I'm trying to think because I know there have been way more casualties. We've been hit and broken things. Brad's guitar has hit me in the head before. I actually threw up in my mouth in Des Moines.
Why does Brad wear headphones in concert?
Brad: Brad cannot reveal his inspiration.
Mike: When Brad's being mysterious he speaks in the third person.
Mike: When Mike speaks in the third person he makes himself crazy.
Brad: Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich.
Chester: Yeah I'm the assmaster!!!!
JOE: Yes I do think Britney's boobies are fake!
MIKE: Hehe boobies!
CHESTER: I like small boobies. Small ones are just right. Big ones are baaad. I'd be afraid that I'd get suffocated by them if they were too big.
Mike: I'm going to sprout wings out of my ass one day and fly around the world.
Chester: Sounds like fun, can I join you?
Q: What's your plans for Valentine's Day?
Chester: Masturbation.
Chester: Have you ever played the Penis Game?
Cane: WHAT?!
Chester: The Penis Game!
Cane: What the hell is that?!
Chester: Wanna play it with me?
Cane: Uh, no thanks!
Mike: Oh come on, you know you do!
Cane: Would someone mind telling me what the hell the Penis Game is?
Chester: Its where I slap you with my penis!
Joe: No its not! Someone says Penis really quietly and then someone else repeats but in a louder tone and then it keeps going and going until it gets really loud and the loudest person wins!
Cane: Oh, okay.
Joe: Penis!
Brad: Phoenix has no penis!
Phoenix: Now that you mention it, my name kinda rhymes with Penis!
Joe: No it doesn't!
Joe-Mike got up and walked over there, looked at the TV, sat on the table and broke it
Mike-I put my (laughing) I put my fat ass on the table and I broke it! Oh my God I am so embarrassed
Joe-Now we are taking apart the table and hiding it in the hopes that the hotel doesn't notice and make us pay for it
Q: Do you have any wild stories or embarassing moments to share, while living on the road?
Mike: I almost ran over Chester with a golf car when we were in Florida.
Chester: That was pure evil.
Mike: (sniffs) awww who layed the egg (looks at Chester)
Chester: (smilies) quack, quack
Interveiwer: With all the metal that you wear about your person, do you have problems when you go through airports?
Mike: You have no idea! Brad's pants are down around his ankles, 'cause his pants are too big and his belt's all made of metal, Chester has to take off 50 things it's a joke! And the best thing is, he's obsessive compulsive. Tell her about how you arrange your bracelets when you take them off!
Chester: No.
Mike: I'll tell her about it! Chester takes off his bracelets when he's going through the metal detector at the airport and he has this bag with those of those handles that pulls up, so there's a long hanger and he arranges them on that. He takes them off in the same order every time and puts them in the same places and arranges them perfectly.
Chester: I'm disgusting, because I do that with my baggage too. All my bags specifically fit in a certain way really well I can't have disorganised bags! And when I go grocery shopping, I'm the same way; boxed items like detergents have to be separated from the food, and then all cans go together, all meats go together, and therefore it's easier to unload when you get home.
Interveiwer: But surely it's only common sense to separate your detergents from your fresh food, so they don't get tainted with a soapy taste?
Chester: Yes, but you see people tossing whatever they grab first into the bag. Not with me. It has to be done a specific way every time.
Mike: This is like the most involved answer about produce that I have ever heard in my life!
MIKE: Chester and I met at a male strip club.
CHESTER: We were both trying to get jobs there as dancers.
MIKE: And it just didn't work out....because my butt wasn't big enough.
CHESTER: Yeah and I've got what they call the crispy cream which is a little fat area around my belly button which is kinda like a donut.
MIKE: Its from eating too many donuts.
Mike: mike is so hot....oops, i mean joe
Everyday when I get ready, I look in the mirror and say, over and over again, ‘must become an action figure, must become an action figure.’-Chester Bennington
CHESTER: There's this 13-year-old kid from Pittsburgh. He comes up to us and goes, "I'm stalking you dude, and when you reach the peak of your success I'm going to kill you." Then, during the show he's down in the front telling Mike that he wants to "rape his soul"! I think that's cool, but he probably needs to chill out a bit.
Chester: How many of you are pissed right now?
Audience: (cheers)
Chester: Good. See in America that means you're mad but, here it means you're happy. Whoo!
MIKE: My walls are about 3 inches thick and my neighbours must have thought people were dying in my house! The whole neighbourhood could hear it!
CHESTER: And you'd hear someone go, "You fucking SUCK! Shut up!"
MIKE: I think we were subliminally influenced for the bridge on 'One Step Closer' by my neighbours; "SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"
CHESTER: At 10 o'clock every night, we'd hear (bangs his fist against the wall) and that was our alarm, so we almost ended up naming the band 'Ten PM Stocker', cuz we recorded on Stocker Street every night and at 10 PM, we had to stop.
Do you feel famous?
BRAD: Do you think we're famous? All I know is that at the show last night we didn't have passes...and yet there were....a...OK...(To Mike) You tell the story.
MIKE: My story was that I showed up late. I was busy doing other things.
BRAD: Mike is never late.
MIKE: Whatever, I showed up a half hour before the show and we got up to the door and the guy stopped us. He says, 'Where's your passes?' and I'm looking past him and there's like these 5 foot posters with our faces on and just for a second I was thinking 'You idiot.' but then my second thought was 'Well cool, I can walk through this club right now and not get stopped by anyone'.
--You're turning into Spinal Tap already?
MIKE: Only in the sense that we can't find the stage.
BRAD: We try to be life imitating art as much as possible when it comes to Spinal Tap.
Chester can you remember your address yet, I read somewhere since you've moved house you've been on tour, and when someone asked you for your address you didn't know?
Chester: "I had to call home, it's really sad. I think in the last two apartments I had I've spent a total of 18-20 days in them."
Chester: "It's funny because we'll sit down and go 'Mike how does the song make you feel?', and that's how we start every song, what emotion is the music evoking? - what kind of ideas is the music drawing out of you? Sometimes they are the same, and sometimes they are different. It's really interesting to let the music guide the lyrics because Mike and I's focus is primarily on the melody and lyrics usually come later."
Rumor has it you and Mike Shinoda wrote 40 different choruses for "Meteora's" first single, "Somewhere I Belong." Is the songwriting process always this tough?
Chester: Yeah, ya know, we're not ones to settle for just good - it's gotta be great. We take everything that serious. I rewrote "Runaway" (from "Hybrid Theory") about 150 times. The frustration of writing that song sprouted "One Step Closer."
What are some of your hobbies outside of music?
Chester: Nothing really cool. Music is my life. I like to paint and that kind of stuff . . . talk to friends, throw barbecues - how stupid, that's not even a hobby.
What advice would you give to someone struggling with the same type of drug abuse problems you have dealt with?
Chester: Stay strong, willpower is the key to everything. If you can't fight and stand up to yourself you can't fight and defeat anybody.
