Shinoda says: "Bunch of rock outlets taking Chester's 'kept metal alive' quote out of context today. So dumb. It's click-bait, don't fall for it. He basically said that pop music was ruling the world, and we made a case for commercially viable heavy music - no big deal. "Maybe not the best choice of words, but the sentiment wasn't as outrageous as today's rock news would have you think." Read more - here.
