A bassist has filed a lawsuit against Linkin Park over credit and unpaid royalties on more than 20 songs, as reported by Billboard.
In a complaint filed in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 8th), Kyle Christner claimed he has “never been paid a penny” for his work on songs included in the Hybrid Theory 20th anniversary box set released by Linkin Park in 2020. According to Christner, one of the band’s representatives contacted him last April and said he was owed royalties for songs included in the collection. “You get mechanical royalties for 3 demos and the 6-song Hybrid Theory EP that you performed on,” the email allegedly stated.
Christner said in the lawsuit that he believes his work appears on “more than twenty songs” in the 2020 re-release. However, when he tried to reach back out to the person who contacted him, they “went dark.”
“In fact, Christner appears to have played...

A bass player who claims he recorded numerous songs with Linkin Park back in 1999 has filed a lawsuit against the Grammy-winning group, seeking credit and unpaid royalties.
Kyle Christner says he never received “a penny” for his work, so he’s asking a federal judge to step in and sort out ownership and authorship of more than 20 disputed songs, according to the complaint filed in Los Angeles Wednesday and obtained by Rolling Stone.

Metallica are considered an elite live act, and they take their craft seriously enough to release soundboard recordings of nearly every live performance.
In other words, Metallica mean business when they’re onstage, and few have dared to interrupt the thrash legends when they’re in the midst of a set — even for a good laugh. However, one band decided to push the envelope back in 2003… with the blessing of Metallica’s security.
Linkin Park vocalist/guitarist Mike Shinoda recently recalled a humorous anecdote about the time his band broke ground and became the first band to prank Metallica onstage. It happened toward the tail-end of Metallica’s “Summer Sanitarium” tour with Linkin Park.
“One of our claims to fame is that, at the time — we may still be the only ones — we were the only one to ever prank Metallica…” Shinoda told Australian radio station Triple M (as transcribed...

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda has released a new single called “Already Over,” a straight-ahead rocker with elements of pop-punk and power pop.
While the tune is noticeably different from Linkin Park’s music, Shinoda explains that there is a commonality in the sound, including one of the instruments he used to record the new track.
“‘Already Over’ came to me as I was sitting with my favorite guitar in my hands — the same guitar I used on songs from ‘What I’ve Done’ to ‘In My Head,’” remarked Shinoda, who played all instruments on the song. “There was a familiar DNA to the song that I think Linkin Park fans will recognize. For me, it creates a bridge from the past to a blurry but exciting future.”

Nominated for the Palme d'Or in 1974, “Himiko” is one of the most renowned titles of both Atg and Masahiro Shinoda, perhaps for the way it manages to channel both “Horrors of Malformed Men” and Kurosawa's colored works, although the latter actually succeeded the film.

The story follows the myth of the Sun Goddess, Himiko, who is the earliest Japanese historical figure documented in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean history, although her existence, identity, and location have been the source of endless debate. Nevertheless, the consensus talks about a queen-shaman who was ruling Yamatai, the Kingdom of the Sun before Japan became a specific, separate entity. In the film, she is a shaman who speaks for the Sun God, being revered in the society she lives in but also constrained by the will of her people for her to be a sacred entity.

The surviving members of Linkin Park reflect on their late singer Chester Bennington and their 20th-anniversary edition of Meteora in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe.
In the interview, airing Wednesday, Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, and Dave Farrell talked about how it was Bennington who pushed back against their label when the record company tried to “change the DNA” of the band — and make Bennington a “star” with a different band — during the recording of their debut Hybrid Theory.

Mike Shinoda wouldn’t want to perform with a hologram of Linkin Park’s late lead vocalist Chester Bennington.
Bennington died by suicide in July 2017, and his death is, understandably, “a very sensitive subject,” Shinoda said.
In a new interview with 94.5 The Buzz, Shinoda shared when talking about performing with holograms: “I feel like those are creepy. Even if we weren’t talking about us, if we weren’t talking about Chester, which is a very sensitive subject, and we would have our feelings about how we would represent that.
“For me, that’s a clear no. I’m not into that.”

Grammy-nominated global superstar Demi Lovato has released ‘Still Alive’, her new original song for the upcoming horror film Scream VI. The high energy track arrives alongside the aptly aesthetic music video. The visual sees the world of the film invade reality when Demi and her friends attend a private screening of Scream VI, only to find themselves being hunted by Ghostface himself.

The video was directed by Jensen Noen and features cameos from Mike Shinoda and Spencer Charnas (Ice Nine Kills). The song was written by Lovato, Shinoda, and Laura Veltz.

Graduating as Ozu’s assistant with his debut feature-length at Shochiku in 1960, Masahiro Shinoda (b. 1931) saw the dawn of the Japanese New Wave and rose to prominence alongside the likes of Nagisa Oshima, Yasuzo Masumura, Koreyoshi Kurahara, and Shohei Imamura among a whole host of others. Though he would spend most of his career reinterpreting and reimagining whole genres including the yakuza film and jidaigeki, the films across his four-decade-long career would predominantly be united by a re-examination of Japanese historical, societal, and national identity, complete with a focus on alienation, mythologies, and religious and moral turmoil. Frequently coupled with composer Toru Takemitsu, cinematographers Masao Kosugi and Tatsuo Suzuki, and actress Shima Iwashita (whom he would go on to marry), Shinoda’s films grapple with man’s perturbing darkness and its effect on the personal and national conscience. Like most of his Nūberu Bāgu compatriots, Shinoda frequently negated cinematic and narrative traditions,...

Film director Yoshida Kiju (formerly Yoshida Yoshishige) died on Thursday of pneumonia at age 89, Japanese media sources have revealed.
Together with Oshima Nagisa and Shinoda Masahiro, Yoshida was part of the Shochiku-backed Nouvelle Vague of the late 1950s and early 1960s that had a major impact on Japanese cinema both then and in succeeding decades.
A graduate of the elite University of Tokyo, where he studied French literature, Yoshida joined the Shochiku studio in 1955 and served as assistant director to Ozu Yasujiro and Kinoshita Keisuke.
In 1960 he made his directorial debut with the youth drama “Good-for-Nothing.” This and his following films “Blood Is Dry” (1960) and “Bitter End of a Sweet Night,” with their unsparing depictions of contemporary social ills, marked Yoshida, together with fellow Shochiku up-and-comers Oshima and Shinoda, as rebels against studio convention. The trio came to be grouped under the label Shochiku Nouvelle Vague, a nod to...

In this hour-long mix devoted to musician Tôru Takemitsu’s soundtrack oeuvre, the Japanese master’s varied body of scoring sounds and collaborations is in full effect, offering a spectrum of different emotions and genres.Takemitsu was a pivotal figure in modern classical music and much of his work continues to influence the contemporary canon today. Early in his career the composer was exposed to Western sounds while working a job for the US Armed Forces, and many of his groundbreaking compositions synthesized Western and Eastern sensibilities. Membership in the avant-garde Jikken Kōbō (an experimental music workshop formed in Japan’s postwar 1950s) led to an interest in and passion for the work of John Cage and concepts such as musique concrète, which can be heard throughout Takemitsu’s singular sound. Additionally, images of Japanese gardens, water, and the poems of Emily Dickinson inspired the tonalities of Takemitsu’s sound,...
