JAKARTA - Mike Shinode again rejected the possibility of Linkin Park appearing on the hologram of the late Chester Bennington vocalist.

Hologram Tupac Shakur performed with Snoop Dogg at Coachella in 2012, and Cirque Du Soleil brought holographic Michael Jackson's version on stage. Recently, the legendary heavy metal singer Ricky James Dio's hologram traveled the world, supported by his old band member.

In fact, in Indonesia, Glenn Fredly's hologram will be displayed at the "Glenn Fredly: 25 Years of Music" concert held on June 24. In addition, artificial intelligence and computer generating imagery are also used to display his figure.

In a recent interview with Radio DJ Houston Theresa Rockface of 94.5 The Buzz, Shinoda discussed the possibility of Linkin Park members still sharing the stage with the hologram version of Chester.

"It's scary. Even if we're not talking about us (Linkin Park), if we don't talk about Chester, that's... it's a very sensitive subject, and we're going to have our feelings about how we're going to represent it... For me, it's definitely not; I don't like it. But even as an audience, like, fans of other bands As I've heard ABBA, for example, they do hologram shows, and they're still alive," Shinoda elaborated.

"Then you can have an opinion based, like... They're all still here, but they want to do it this way because they want to bring you back to a time when those songs were new and in any era. I understand; I understand. But, I'm not sure I'll personally buy the show ticket. But [other people] will. It's okay."

Shinoda continued by saying that he was not against other artists who used holographic technology during their concerts.

"The problem with the internet now is everyone thinks that everything is for everyone," he said.

"And what I mean is that everyone feels they need to interfere, like, 'Well, here's my opinion. This is what I have to say. And if it's not for me, like if I don't like it, then no one should like it.' That's not how the world works. If you like something and I don't like it, then you go to see it; you go buy it."
