Sum 41 - Faint [Linkin Park Cover] ft. Mike Shinoda [HD]

We can’t be on stage right now, so let’s go back to Reading Festival 2018 for a little bit of "Faint" with Mike Shinoda.

A little back story to this performance. We had only decided to perform this song together about a week before the show. We had no rehearsal whatsoever. On the day of the show we were stuck at customs coming into the UK and it didn’t look like we were even going to make the show. We finally got cleared through and had to try and make our way through all the concert traffic which ended up getting us there 45 min before show time. We quickly said hello to Shinoda, confirmed we were still going to perform together and then scrambled to get ready for our set. It was such a blast to perform this song which is one my favorites, but also nerve racking at the same time. With no rehearsal and practicing in a hotel room a few nights before all I wanted to do was to come in with the utmost respect and try my best to honor the music, Chester, Mike and the Linkin Park band and LP family. No one will ever come close to Chester and that’s not what it was about for any of us. It was purely about the love of the music.
