Back when chester and mike first did the cover of the song during the LPU summit in hamburg, it was only a matter of  time when fans and non fans alike thought what it was in thier own opinions like great, good, average or even not good at all. The cover grew in popularity after it was performed during the itunes festival and was put on youtube to let any and all viewers watch it.

Linkin Park’s presence had been felt backstage all day, as their very, very large bodyguards patrolled the dressing rooms, press and catering areas, keeping a constant eye on everything and everyone.

Intimidating as they seemed, I happened to be sat opposite them at lunch and we got talking. They turned out to be great guys and a few hours later one of them patted me on the back and called me ‘bro’ as we passed each other in a corridor… I felt like I had been accepted into the…

When I first saw the video for Iridescent on june 3rd, I couldnt belive my eyes and just thought how creative, unique and ground breaking it actaully is. Of course those are just my thoughts but I would like to know what other fellow LP fans thought of it when they first saw the video so if you do feel the same or something different feel free to comment about it.

Personally I think (when they come for me) should be the next single because it is a perfect combo of mikes rapping, chesters amazing vocals and the electronic beats that linkin park is now doing. If anybody esle agrees with me or just has something to say about the topic feel free to comment.
