A singer/songwriter/artist/founding member from the band linkin park. He was also a founding member in fort minor. I don't like most rap, but Mike is amazing. His pro-flo and use of piano/violin leave most other rappers in the dirt. He is never misogynistic and is rarely profane. He's like a modern-day Common. (If you don't know who that is, look him up) Most people on here are teenyboppers who have no knowledge of artistic ability and only like Mike because he's hawt.
Mike Shinoda is an artist, and should not be known for being a "xXxH4wt@zzRawkSt4rrxXx", but for being an extremely talented musician.

A "Southern Rock" band from Jacksonville, FL. Heavily influenced by Otis Redding, Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Those influences are heavily reflected in their music, as they have re-recorded Lynyrd Skynyrds' "Simple Man". Shinedown is made up of: Brent Smith(vocals), Jasin Todd(guitar), Barry Kerch(drums) and Brad Stewart(bass).
First brought to the world with their debut album "Leave a whisper", they toured on that album for 2 years. In October of '05 they released their 2nd album entitled "Us and Them".

While conventional wisdom dictates that you have your whole life to write your first album and just weeks to write the second, Smith begs to differ. "I had more to talk about on the second record than I did on the first record," he notes. And though they were written back at home, Smith says many of the new songs were inspired by Shinedown's travels – whether ruminations about his own state of being or reflections about the people and stories he encountered on the road.
"I wanted to talk about what I saw," Smith explains. "There are so many songs about fans and the people I talked to, and their lives and their relationships. They're just the most incredible people in the world, but they have so many serious, serious problems to deal with. I wanted to talk about those things. In a way, I feel like I took what they couldn't talk about and hopefully I wrote down what they felt. So when the album comes out and they hear the songs, they'll be able to look at themselves and say, 'He said everything that I wanted to say.' "
That, he adds, is why Shinedown decided to call the album “US AND THEM.” "It's a dedication to our fans," Smith says, "a thank-you to them for the support, for everything they've given us, and for being there from day one. It's US AND THEM."

Get the Shinedown mug.The religious belief that Mike Shinoda is, in fact, God. Shinogasms are very common among female Shinodaists.
Belivers in Shinodaism, or Shinodaists, such as myself, often pray facing in the direction of LA while becoming deaf with Linkin Park or Fort Minor songs. Prayers are usually wishes to meet Mike or do... other things (XD) with him.
