ignorant question:

if LP doesn’t do record scratching anymore then what does their DJ guy do

 

Sampling and programming. Also does a lot of standing around from what I've seen

 

He's also a photographer/videographer when he doesn't have anything to do musically. And sometimes he'll just walk off stage for a bit

 

Vibes. All vibes

 

If Brad wanted to come back and just walk around without even playing an instrument, I’d dig it

 

Is... is scratching all a DJ does?

 

I think this is frank with Deftones. Vibes and soundscapes.

 

Mr. Hahn, DJ Lethal and DJ Kilmore had the huge stoke of luck of being DJs in successful bands that kept them on long after bands stopped using them in a meaningful way. Even Sugar Ray kicked their DJ out when he stopped having a purpose.

 

Hahn is also a huge part of the creative process in regards to music videos, album art, conceptual pieces, etc. He and Shinoda both went to art school, so they're both really on top of the aesthetic aspect of the band.

 

I honestly think it’s dope when bands have members who don’t play traditional roles in the band be treated like all the other members.

 

Where are you getting this? As far as I'm aware, DJ Homicide left in 2010, he wasn't kicked out, and this was around the time most of the rest of the band left anyway.

 

I think you’re right. I think I’m thinking of another band. Strike that from the record.

 

The Craig Jones strategy

 

I will say Frank from Deftones is a very different story. He’s pretty integral to their sound. Does a lot of consistent work throughout the song. Most notably keeping Steph from falling off the planet. Jk but Frank is great.

 

Joe is more of a Frank type than the other comparisons thrown in this page, even if it's hard to tell he's part of some of the latter stuff and whether any electronic flourishes you hear is something he came up with or Mike instead. He's also integral to their visuals

 

Mike did reading my eyes over the bridge of bleed of out today in seoul

 

What's the best LP b-side?

 

does the Hybrid Theory EP count? Those are all my answer

 

QWERTY, but the live version

 

No Roads Left is a super underrated B-side

 

I remember Blackbirds being pretty good.

 

I forgot all about that song. It does, indeed, rule; I’d say it’s my pick for their best b-side.

 

Across The Line, Not Alone, She Couldn’t, And One and Qwerty are my Top 5

 

We did it guys, we listed every b-side.
