Linkin Park to premiere ‘Burn It Down’ video on MTV, May 24

Catch the world premiere of Linkin Park’s ‘Burn It Down’ music video on MTV during “MTV First: Linkin Park,” on Thursday, May 24 at 5:53pm, this will be followed by a 30-minute interview with the band on MTV.com. Sneak peek below.

Hey Linkin Park fans, are you ready to see the music video for the band’s chart-climbing single “Burn It Down?” Get ready for a little Christmas in May, because Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda and Joe Hahn will be on hand to introduce their brand-new clip via its global premiere on MTV Thursday, May 24, as part of “MTV First: Linkin Park.”

After the global premiere of the video at 5:53 p.m. ET on MTV, the band will stick around for a meaty 30-minute interview with MTV News’ James Montgomery on MTV.com. Fans can get in on the action by submitting their reactions to the clip in the comments section or on Twitter (using @MTVNews, hashtag #MTVFirst). During “MTV First,” the rock stars will also answer your Twitter questions and dish on the latest news.

“What’s interesting about this video is that we’re really trying to capture a live kind of element with the band playing very similarly to how we would perform live,” Bennington told MTV News recently when we were lucky enough to visit the video’s set. “The fact that we’re playing broken down, kind of like we’re playing live brings that organic vibe to the video, makes for this really cool almost plugged-in look that we have.”

“As the band has gotten older lyrically, my favorite [songs] over the past couple years have a lot of layers to them,” Shinoda said of the band’s evolution. “Part of that comes from the fact that all along, Chester and I, we have different life experiences and we tend to write the lyrics together, so although we’re writing one song, we’re coming at it from two different experience points. He may be writing about one thing he’s thinking and I might be writing about something completely different.”

The global partnership positions “Burn It Down” to reach more than 600 million households around the world via MTV’s global network of more than 60 channels and over 300 digital media properties in 150 plus territories. In the U.S., the video will debut during “MTV First” and will also premiere across MTV’s channels in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, Asia and Africa.

Don’t miss the world premiere of the “Burn It Down” video during “MTV First: Linkin Park” on Thursday! It all starts at 5:53 p.m. ET on MTV, followed by an exclusive interview with the band on MTV.com.

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda Says Billboard Awards Performance Served as ‘Preview’ of New Video

Southern California rock band Linkin Park gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from their “Burn It Down” video with their Billboard Music Awards performance on Sunday night. The track is the first single off their fifth studio album, Living Things, which streets in June.

The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Mike Shinoda, one of the founding members of Linkin Park, and co-producer Rick Rubin on the group’s latest offering while walking the red carpet at the show.

“Tonight is almost like a preview of what the video is going to be. Nobody has really seen the video yet,” Shinoda said of the performance to come. “We actually used pieces of the set, I don’t know if it’s actual pieces of the set or if they’re just made to look like the set.”

One of the more remarkable things about the alternative rock band is their unwavering commitment to the style and sound with which they started, coupled with the ability to keep things fresh from one album to the next.

“On the new record you’ll hear elements of all of our records on it, which is one of the things that this record is all about,” Shinoda said of Living Things. “I’ve been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.”

Staying connected to the fans is of paramount importance to the band, according to Shinoda, who fielded an impromptu Q&A via Twitter in the thirty-minute lull before the awards show kickoff.

“Staying close with the fans and really active online is part of who we are, so we had like a little hang out — me and a few hundred people,” Shinoda explained of his pre-awards show chat.
