A Linkin Park Fans' Site By AdieK84
It was just announced that Linkin Park will be headlining the Sunset Strip Music Festival in LA on August 3.
The show comes with some cool extras for LPU members! As always, they will be able to buy pre-sale tickets starting at noon, but for the first time, there will be an exclusive section up front at the show just for LPU members.
This will be definitely Linkin Park’s only performance in the US for the rest of 2013!
Pre-sale tix will be available at LPUnderground.com at noon, May 14. Public tix go on sale Wednesday, May 17 at 10am.
Dear LPFC readers,
that didn’t take so long, did it? We are up and running, and I’m very happy to present you the new version of Linkin Park Fan Corner!
New Layout
As you can see, the layout is now very media driven, and to say it plainly, absolutely epic!
In the top slider, you can see the latest news presented to you in a cool design. The carousel beneath it, has the latest videos that were posted on LPFC.
We now have two sidebars, so you don’t have to scroll too much. Also, some of the less important widgets were removed.
If you want to read the blog, I advice you to click the “View more” button. It will take you to a full width view of the blog, no sidebars!
I hope you like the new layout! Leave a comment!
New Topics
In the menu, you can see the new Press section. There you will find a list of articles and videos mentioning Linkin Park. Since some of them write about the same topics, I tend to just tweet them, instead of posting all of them. Still, it’s nice to have an overview of press coverage on the blog as well. More articles will be added to the section soon.
Soon to be added, are the sections “Interviews”, “Fan Art” & “Remixes and Covers”. While the last two ressorts are self explanatory, I prefer we talk about the Interviews section at a later date. Stay tuned ;-D.
New Team Members
I’m very happy to announce that the LPFC team will be joined by Paul Gardiner and Lizzi Cloverman! Both are from the UK and they are actually a couple (“Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww”).
Some of you might know them from the LPU, cause they are very active on LPU and you can meet them very often in the chat, there.
More Team
LPFC will now be more team driven! Instead of just me posting everything, while the others write the occasional review, the team members now have a certain ressort.
You can find the new team members and their ressorts on this page!
Original from P. Hilton who probably stole it from somewhere.
Ever ordered an LP shirt a size too big or small? Ever got an LP album as a birthday present even though your auntie should know by now that you preorder them 9 months before their release day?
Now you have the opportunity to swap your useless Linkin Park merchandise with your fellow Linkin Park fans. Maybe someone with the coolest poster is looking for your old shirt!
Tweet your offer on MAY 26 with the hashtag #LPSwapDay. Do not forget this hashtag, since this will be the easiest way to overview all offers!
Spread the word!
Because Linkin Park is taking time off from touring to record their next studio album & soundtrack for Joe Hahn’s “The Mall,” I thought it would be fun to do some “OFF TOUR INTERVIEWS” with the Touring Crew. I have been fortunate enough to network with some of the touring staff of the Linkin Park camp during the last year through social media as well as in person during Linkin Park events/shows. Adie has already done a few “Meet the Crew” interviews so I wanted to continue with the interviews and ask them questions besides Linkin Park related ones just so we can get to know awesome the staff (not that we don’t already know this). I attended the show at PH! Live at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas and kicked back with Warren before he headed off to New Zealand and Australia. Before leaving for the airport, He promised me an interview for LP Fan Corner when he got back and both had time. Here it is for all of you to enjoy!
Hi Warren. Thanks for chatting with LP fan corner again! Can you tell anyone that missed your first interview with our Admin Adie what you do for linkin park?
Hi my name is Warren and I’m a Joe-a-holic
What other musicians have you worked for?
In reverse order it’s been Linkin Park, Slipknot, Demi Lovato, The Bravery, AFI, Ke$ha, Scissor Sisters, Adam Lambert, Maroon 5, Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson
What have you been doing since the NZ/AU shows?
Wishing I was bac in NZ/AU
What’s been your favorite place to tour & why? (Doesn’t have to be a place that you toured with LP to)
NZ obviously, but South Africa was amazing too, anywhere you can go shark diving is OK by me.
At the start of the Asia tour, you will be with the LP touring staff for a year. What’s your funniest memory so far?
A year! That’s it.. its funny everyone is always asking me if I remember this time when… But I don’t because I wasn’t there, even though it feels like it.
Funniest = having South American airlines destroy my luggage, you wouldn’t think that was funny, but it was so destroyed all I could do was laugh..
What’s the best thing about working for Joe/LP?
Getting to work for the most entertaining guy in one of the best bands of the last decade.
Since you’ve been with the touring staff the least amount of time, do you feel like the baby of the family (picked on a lot, pranks while you’re sleeping, etc) or do you enjoy it because you’ve been with staff that have been with LP a long time as well asmany other great artists?
Sleeping pranks are only appropriate for people who fall asleep in the front lounge of the bus. No, the fact that I am even with LP proves that I have been doing this long enough… there is no new guy treatment.
In the most recent LP-TV episode “You’re a Legend,” You can see Warren & the rest of the crew doing their set change starting at 4:13. Thank you so much to Mark Fiore for giving a glimpse into their world. Being at the barricade for 90% of the shows I attended, I enjoy watching how fast they change the set & how great of a team they are. I’ve heard great things from a lot of the crew members on what a great family they are on the road and they really are what help to have a great show.
FUN STUFF
If you Weren’t doing what you’re doing now, what job do you think you would have?
I’d be a helicopter pilot.
Can you play any instruments?
Pooch and I are both products of Berklee college of music.. My principle instrument is drums but I play piano too, and my college degree (Bachelors) is for Drum set performance. Pooch’s instrument was bass. We should start a band.
What television shows do you watch regularly?
I don’t have TV… but I find a “magic” way to keep up with Dexter,the Simpsons Sunny in Phila, 30 Rock and The Office.
What’s the last good movie you saw?
My favorite movie of all time just became Wreck it Ralph
What’s your favorite food?
I’m a vegetarian. So stuff without meat.. Im a sucker for a grilled cheese from in-n-out.
Thank you so much to Warren for taking time off from being off tour to chatting with me. Look for more interviews with touring staff while we anxiously await the Sunset Strip Music Festival in LA & the Living Things Asian tour that starts in August!

I first met STYLES OF BEYOND (S.O.B.) in the late '90s, rapping at parties and with friends in the San Fernando Valley, north of L.A. Years later, I featured them on my Fort Minor album, on songs like Remember The Name and Believe Me.
After we wrapped up the touring for FM, the guys were signed to Linkin Park's imprint Machine Shop Records.
