This is an interview with Linkin Park from Rocktribe.

RT: What are you going to do in London? A few drinkinpoos.

Mike: We actually got a present from our record company out here, they greeted us with alcohol. Cases of lager.

Brad: Which is great because some of us don't really drink so its nice, but like...

RT: Well this is London

Brad: Well I'm not going to drink it...

Mike: You'd better drink it, or I'm going to force it down your throat!

Brad: ...its like, great. Vodka. Thanks.

Mike: Which just means that there's more for Joe

Joe, who has so far been sitting in an enigmatic silence, pipes up suddenly, "Yeah I'm a whore."

"Hard work" must be an expression that Linkin Park are familiar with, having touring with one band or another for something approaching the last six decades. Its a testament to what a tight unit the band are that they can hold it together for such long periods of time. The following question illustrates this, (unintentionally, as is turns out.) It turns out that Mike and Joe have a large amount of creative control in the website's content and design. Rt asks whether they'd also had an input in their wideo to "OSC."

Brad and Mike suddenly gasp in mock horror and put their hands over thier mouths, "Uh oh. Joe's gotta answer a question..."

Joe, who seems like he gets a lot of this, ploughs on regardless. "They let us do pretty much what we wanted to..."

"Who's they?" chimes Mike, keen to ensure that Joe answers all questions with as much detail as he can. Jo winces with semi serious irritation.

"The guys at the record company over there because they dont really have any creative people in there anyway."

Mike and Brad gape in open mouthed mockery at what must surely be the most sweeping statement yet made in any interview, "Dude, what are you saying?!?"

"What> Our A&R guy?" says Joe, incredulous that he's getting abuse for speaking his mind.

"Are you saying that our A&R guy couldnt direct a video?" says Mike. Joe shoves his head in his hands and gives up the ghost entirely, "I cant do this." he groans, "I dont know what's happening..."

Life on the road being as it is, (moreso for "Hot Young Bands,") there is a little sympathy for Joe and Mike and Brad continue to rag him mercilessly throughout his answer.

"You directed the video?" I say.

"No, I came up with the storyboard." says Joe from behing his hands.

"Joe copped out on that answer." says Mike, like a protective big brother. Brad agrees, "If we answered every question like that..."

"The fact is that Joe did the original treatment and he's just being modest."

"At least I'm not being arrogant like you fucks." Joe says petulantly, and with that, the room once again collapses into giggles.
