The dude, he said that, like, when we were making the first Linkin Park record, he was like, Yeah, you know, I don't know about the rapping, like, I don't know if it's, like, maybe you should just be a rock band, you know what I mean? Like, trying to change us? Like, they signed us as an act, like, what we sound like. And then he's like, Oh, I don't know, maybe you should just play keyboard. The band had my back, so we did the tracks. Put out the album, and the talk went flat. It was funny at first, but then the humor faded when some magazines printed that our label made us. We were too good to be true. Some were saying ghostwriters were writing all that we do, so we had to disprove it. We spelled it out to the detail how we do it when we're making this music. After that, I made it a rule. I only do email responses to print interviews because these people love to put a twist to your words to infer that you said something *** absurd. Oh, did I lose you at infer? Not used to hearing a verse that uses over-first-grade vocabulary words. People used to infer that we were manufactured, and now I got the interviews on file. Which people said what, which number to douse, and now every enemy's screaming insanity. All they're ever gonna be's another big fan of me, bitch. You believe that? Like, that sounds crazy, right? Like, at this point, at this point, you're thinking, you hear that, you're like, that guy was out of his mind. But, honestly, at that point, besides the fact that he wanted me to just play keyboard and whatever and didn't want me to rap, he was like, maybe Johan should, um, wear a lab coat and a cowboy hat. Honestly. Like, when we played, I swear to God, he was crazy. It was crazy. Cowboy hat. Yeah. And later on, he claimed that he wrote all our songs, so that was really nice.
