“The band was recently at an iHeartRadio programmer listening party thing—they play all the new songs from all the different artists, and all the programmers from all across all the different platforms are there in one place. And so we’re in the room, and it’s a small amphitheater. A few hundred people. And [bandmate] Mike [Shinoda] was really excited because we were playing ‘Heavy,’ and this is the biggest group of people we’ve played it for, so it’s kind of like the debut of the song. And he’s like, ‘It kind of makes me a little nervous, because we haven’t played it for this many people.’ And I go, actually, it’s kind of normal for me because this is just like being in a room with my kids. You know Benihana? We get the whole table with two chefs. ‘Special occasion?’ They ask. No, it’s a fucking Tuesday.”
