Collin Brittain also answered whether he can incorporate his own style when performing with Linkin Park . The American stated that the group was part of his development as a musician and, therefore, his style naturally carries elements of the band.
“I consider Linkin Park a big part of my upbringing as a musician, and part of that is embedded in the DNA of how I play, so it was a very natural transition. Obviously, whenever you're playing with someone, you can't help but add your own personality to the instrument. That's the point of seeing a band live. I also try to stay as true as possible to the albums we all know and love,” he concluded.
