Linkin Park Detail Ongoing Recovery Efforts In Haiti

MTV ShowsMore than a year has passed since an earthquake ravaged Haiti, and, as is sadly the case with disasters like this, the focus of the world has shifted elsewhere, despite the fact that the recovery effort is still very much ongoing. But one group who hasn't forgotten about the Haitian people is Linkin Park, who, through their Music for Relief charity — and in conjunction with the United Nations Foundation — are working to bring light to the nation ... literally. They've begun a program to build solar-powered lights in many displacement camps (which are home to more than 1 million Haitians), and last week, though they were set to film a video for their new single "Iridescent," the band sent bassist Dave "Phoenix" Farrell down to Port-au-Prince to check on the progress. "I...

Iridescent video concept

MTV has a behind the scenes clip of Iridescent music video and Mike and Joe talking about the concept of the video. The 3-D trailer of Transformers: Dark of the Moon will premiere in front of “Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides” which opens in theaters May 20. Linkin Park lending their music to a “Transformers” movie isn’t exactly a new thing — the rockers are three-for-three at this point, having just shot a video for “Iridescent,”, the lead single off the soundtrack to the upcoming installment of the sci-fi/action franchise, “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” What is new this time out is the concept of the video for the song, which, truth be told, is actually pretty confusing … even to the guys in LP themselves. “All I know about the concept is that [Linkin Park turntablist/frequent...

Iridescent: Transformers 3 Single

A few months ago, I got on the phone with Michael Bay, who wanted to discuss the possibility of our band continuing our run with songs paired with the Transformers films. We (he, his team, and our band) all have enjoyed working together on the past two, and he wanted to discuss the ideas we might have for Transformers 3: Dark Of The Moon. In particular, one song came up immediately. Ever since we started playing Iridescent live, the song has been a fan favorite at the show. For the film, there’s a new, slightly shorter version of the song, which is floating around the internet now. We’ll be shooting a video for the song tomorrow, directed by Joe Hahn. …Also, watch this guy. (Not Safe For Work) Source : Linkin P...
