The article from Guitar World discusses a humorous and relatable moment involving Mike Shinoda, the guitarist and producer of Linkin Park, and his daughter. Shinoda attempted to offer his daughter guitar-playing advice, but she initially dismissed him because she was unaware of his musical talents and fame. Specifically, when Shinoda tried to help her with a chord, she responded with a dismissive “Yeah, whatever. Cool Dad.” This interaction was later revealed to be a misunderstanding, as Shinoda’s wife had previously advised their daughter to listen to her father’s advice, but she still questioned his expertise in performing.
Shinoda shared this story on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, highlighting the gap between his professional career and his children’s understanding of it. The band, Linkin Park, has been on hiatus since 2017 following the death of lead singer Chester Bennington, and their recent reunion has been a significant event. Despite his children not having many memories of the band’s performances, they have all shown interest in music, with some of them playing instruments like drums and piano.
The article also touches on the band’s recent activities, including their return with a new drummer and vocalist, Emily Armstrong, and the release of their album “From Zero.” The new iteration of Linkin Park performed on The Tonight Show, showcasing their lead single “The Emptiness Machine,” which has sparked some controversy.
