One of those is a song called &lsquo;Friendly Fire&rsquo;, however, Mike &#8211; who released his debut solo LP, &lsquo;Post Traumatic,&rsquo; in 2018 &#8211; has insisted fans will have a long time to wait to hear it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during a Twitch live-stream, he said: &lsquo;&rsquo;There was a song, a &lsquo;One More Light&rsquo; song.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;&rsquo;We mixed more [songs] than [are on] the finished album and we mixed a couple [of] other songs just to see if one of them would make the cut or whatever. [Or] if we could use it for a B-side and it was &lsquo;Friendly Fire&rsquo;. &lsquo;&rsquo;I still love that song. Is that out somewhere? Did we put &lsquo;Friendly Fire&rsquo; out at some point? We didn&rsquo;t, did we?&rsquo;&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>Asked by fans whether the song will be officially released, he responded: &lsquo;&rsquo;You literally are going to have to wait years to hear that song FYI.&rsquo;&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>The rock band have been on hiatus since Chester&rsquo;s passing, but before the coronavirus lockdown, they had been working together writing new music and they continue to check in with one another on Zoom.<\/p>\n<p>Bassist Dave Farrell teased recently: &lsquo;&rsquo;For us, with the band, we&rsquo;ve been kinda writing and doing that before this all started.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;&rsquo;So casually at this point, we&rsquo;re doing Zoom meetings to eat lunch together and say, &lsquo;Hi&rsquo;.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;&rsquo;But we&rsquo;re not able to get together and write or do that whole bit.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;&rsquo;So [we&rsquo;re] working at home a little bit, working up ideas.&rsquo;&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &lsquo;&rsquo;I&rsquo;ve been playing a lot of drums, just to do something new &#8211; I&rsquo;ve been doing that for the last year, year and a half, and purposely making as much noise as possible to create my own space in the house.&rsquo;&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Chester&rsquo;s old band Grey Daze are set to release the LP, &lsquo;Amends&rsquo;, this week, which features the posthumous vocals of the late rock legend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(Contactmusic)<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linkin Park have unreleased songs featuring Bennington<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[688],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-218024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-infotainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=218024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/218024\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=218024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=218024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=218024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
