"Disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time What's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die If you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere Do it somewhere far away from here" Damn. Whether it's in Linkin Park, Dead By Sunrise, Grey Daze, Stone Temple Pilots, any of his guest appearances (Walking Dead, Slow Ya Roll) or any of the songs he covered (The Outsider, Home Sweet Home, Hunger Strike, Wonderful) it's hard to listen to him sing anything without finding some kind of suicide reference. R.I.P. Chester.
Just because LP doesn't have to write songs while completely tripped out on LSD and Pot to make sense doesn't make them any less of a amazing band. But as someone mentioned before, comparing Chester's singing ability to Maynard is like comparing apples to oranges. So is their music. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't give you the right to sit there and flame people because of their taste in music.
@DavidKinner I am just saying that people (Tool fans especially) need to take Maynard off the pedestal that they put him on. Is he a great singer, yes. But by no means is he the best vocalist ever. Tool fans have a image across the music industry to be the most close minded fans. I put this video up here because it was on my computer and thought people might like to watch it. But all everyone does is try to compare Chester and James Keenan.
APC is by far my favorite band and this is probably one of my favorite songs. I personally think Chester has plenty of emotion in this song and the screaming adds an edge and his own flavor to the song. The original version will always be better, as Maynard is amazing, but I think this version is pretty damn good too.
Uhhhhhh... nice.. i guess. I prefer him not to cover songs but thats Chesters choice. But he sang the song pretty good. :) And people need to stop compairing singers and bands. People are entitled to their own opinion.. but lets stick to reality no band is better than any other band.
:)) looool u can say anything about that man except that.. his voice, his music in general is full of emotion. look for Chester - Let down .. or the songs from Grey Daze(his band prior to LP) - "soul song" and "sometimes" dont asume, listen to his work first.
But watching videos of bands you don't even like and then speaking negatively of them just to make you horridly mundane existence worth while, now there is something to be proud of
I have been directed to the video of APC playing "The Outsider" live on SNL (see mester90's link down there). I can honestly say that Chester does this song more than justice. Maynard just sounds like he is sloppy drunk and does not have an exciting or enthusiastic bone in his body. As much as you "rock fans" do not want to admit that a band that has gone "mainstream" such as Linkin Park can not rock as hard or harder than Tool, then you are sadly mistaken. Watch by "Bleed It out" video as proof
@Hybr1d7h3ory Well that is definitely true they do seem to do that quite a lot because Maynard imo cannot stand up to Robert Plant or Freddie Mercury or Ian Gillan or Bruce Dickinson but many people do consider Maynard better than all of them somehow how they seem to think this I cannot understand they must be insane lol.
Lol like you need anymore ammunition against me. You sir are right, the beautiful thing about good music is that its relative, and that's why we all love it. But that dosent mean there is no barometer for talent, and I never said music needed to be deep or complex to be good. Still, I shouldn't of acted like an idiot, my apologies.
@candycolordclown Music is a subjective thing, it is not bound by rules and regulations. What one person relates to does not necessarily mean other people have to agree. If you are that closed minded to believe that just because someone has a different opinion than you, it gives you the right to to condone how you act, then you sir are mislead. Why dont you announce who your non-crybaby, non-nine inch nails wannabe, super deep and complex band you are a fan of?
@chucknorris136 @Hybr1d7h3ory You do realize every time Chester performs Given Up live he cannot do the same scream right? He does one for about 8 seconds breathes and does another 8 second scream that was all studio. Also have you seen any live clips of The Grudge? It is just as loud as Chester's scream.
"I tried so hard, and got so far, and in the end it doesn't even matter" Jackass, go sit on your daddy's lap and drink some orange juice, because its good for you
@chucknorris136 Actually I just watched it and this is one of like 4 performances that Chester can actually do it in that isn't very consistent. Also his scream isn't the full scream it's normally longer than only 16 seconds so I guess he can't do the full scream Maynard can still do around 16 seconds and he is in his 40's.
@Hybr1d7h3ory Screaming isn't a measure of vocal ability necessarily, but when comparing the scream from the Grudge, and many other Tool songs, compared to Chester's one long scream in Given Up, which is what we were doing, it's really not that impressive, but screaming is a vocal ability along with many others if someone is considering diversity, which Maynard has much more than Chester. As far as screaming being incredibly impressive, I don't think that with many people save for Patton.
@chucknorris136 Well I just looked it up I guess I was slightly wrong it is the full scream I used to think it was much longer than it actually was so apparently he can't even hit in the Studio what maynard does live but whatever I don't even like Maynard all that much you wanna hear a real insane scream checkout Blackbird by alter bridge it is about 30 seconds long.
Maynard has an heavenly voice. With all Chester screaming, he won't get closer to Maynard voice. This song is one of the few that if you can't be like the original, better not to sing it... 'cause you just ruin it...
People will realize even sooner that you need to take an English class, and learn some better grammar. I posted this for people to enjoy, not for ignorant inbreed, sister kissers that like to lock themselves in their rooms and wonder what it is to have a life. Go flame somebody else's video you Tool
Hmmm Isn't Linkin Park the one promoting bands like Tool and stuff because they don't get much publicity on tv or radio cause they're not considered "Good ENough" by the music industry? Not saying they're bad just saying what's true cause I heard some1 say someone else said TOol was mad at Chester even tho they tour alot. Esphincter will probably be the forth time toghter
ok look here. you really think they're overrated, all you LP fans go listen to ticks and leeches by Tool. they are not overrated. they are extremely talented.Maynard can strain his voice WAY more in that song.danny carey is one of the best drummers out there and can play the oddest time sig with one hand.they are popular but achieved its popularity with their skill.
@alangeday I believe I said earlier that Maynard cannot stand up to great singers. In my opinions Robert Plant cannot stand up against Chris Cornell as far as vocally Soundgarden against Zeppelin Zeppelin wins however Cornell in my opinion is much better and always will be he can sing anything. He has much better range and had way more control and did not lose his range within only a few years. Also Freddie is better.
@Hybr1d7h3ory Maynard sounds like he does not have an Enthusiastic bone in his body? Are you freaking kidding me? Chester did this great but he is no Maynard. Do you think Chester could sing The Grudge? Schism? Eulogy? Ticks and Leeches? I do not think so. Not something to really compare them by but Maynards scream in the Grudge is even longer than Chesters scream in Given Up. Maynard can actually do that scream live without needing to pause for a breath in between either.
That does not even make sense... Good try though, Im sure your parents will find these comments after you take a nap on some train tracks with your boyfriend to prove a point to society that you are different, and they will be proud to call you theirs.
shit man, ive given this guy a fair chance, but he isnt maynard by any stretch of the imagination. listen to tool and APC, and then linkin park :) the diff si obvious. maynard is the greatest frontman ever.

This is yet another reason why Chester is an amazing singer XD
Easy song for chester.
Just because LP doesn't have to write songs while completely tripped out on LSD and Pot to make sense doesn't make them any less of a amazing band.

Awesome. One of my favorite APC songs with the lead singer of my favorite band.
Seeing this just made my day! I love APC and LP. Wish he'd done that at my show. :D
I totally agree with you... In my opinion this covering is what Project Revolution stands for!
Sorry for my English :)
OMG!!!!!!!! Perfect, perfect, perfect! My Angel, my Chester Charles 😭
thats awesome, I wish they would have done this at the Tampa show!

CHESTER MARRY ME
He is married to talinda but unfortunately he died on July 20th 2017 sorry
I agree. That this song doesn't suit em that well. But hey its just a cover man. :) Listen to HIS actual work in his bands. True emotion right there.
@shinoda77 I saw ashes divide and linkin park together... it was sick... but ashes divide didn't do any apc songs unfortunately.
@Hybr1d7h3ory Well that is definitely true they do seem to do that quite a lot because Maynard imo cannot stand up to Robert Plant or Freddie Mercury or Ian Gillan or Bruce Dickinson but many people do consider Maynard better than all of them somehow how they seem to think this I cannot understand they must be insane lol.
Chester Bennington♥ Resident Evil ♥
Actually that is Adam Monroe on keyboards do a search on youtube for him. Covers Tool and APC songs amazingly!
I tried so hard to lose it all but in the end it doesnt even matter
@DavidKinner Since when has screaming been a measure of vocal ability?
A...M...E...N
hahahahaha
*Chester hugs guitarist*
*Other guitarist walks towards Chester*
*Rejection*
*Walk Of Shame*
Just for the record Maynards son is not up there playing with them.
Devo Keenan only appeared on the record and is not in the live band.
@alangeday Awe, that was so sad! xD Poor thing :P

It is now?!
Now that you say it, I do believe that is what happened
Hey didn't join DBS per-say, its just a side project like Fort Minor for Mike Shinoda
As do I my friend
Gosh,people can be so egotistical and close-minded with music, can't let it be...
I wouldnt be proud to know the lyrics of that song.
This vid isn't working!!!
@Hybr1d7h3ory and a select few others.
is that dead by sunrise????
No, it is Chester singing with the guys from A Perfect Circle
Hybr1d7h3ory
Wrong, it's Billy Howerdells band called Ashes divide. ;) Chester is a guest

Mystery solved Maynard killed Chester

Go flame somebody else's video you Tool
Why didn't Billy just sing it? it's interesting, yet maynard is god.
wtf outsing?what ever that means, go look at some Tool you might change your mind
why did chester join dead by sunrise i dont get it?
Hmmm Isn't Linkin Park the one promoting bands like Tool and stuff because they don't get much publicity on tv or radio cause they're not considered "Good ENough" by the music industry? Not saying they're bad just saying what's true cause I heard some1 say someone else said TOol was mad at Chester even tho they tour alot. Esphincter will probably be the forth time toghter
chester sings all songs better than the songs in his own Band... he sucks live with LP since 2007.. but all covers are awesome and in key..
ok look here. you really think they're overrated, all you LP fans go listen to ticks and leeches by Tool. they are not overrated. they are extremely talented.Maynard can strain his voice WAY more in that song.danny carey is one of the best drummers out there and can play the oddest time sig with one hand.they are popular but achieved its popularity with their skill.
Too bad Chester sounds 10 times better than Maynard
Nice try though

thats a different thing i guess... well maybe he's not suited for this song.
u cant sing everything i guess.
I wonder what Maynard thinks.
No offence Chester, but . .
Tool is overrated...
Even Tool fan-boys think so. Tool fans are even worse that Motorhead fans. True fact, look it up
shit man, ive given this guy a fair chance, but he isnt maynard by any stretch of the imagination. listen to tool and APC, and then linkin park :) the diff si obvious. maynard is the greatest frontman ever.
Um... no, no. Maynard takes it.
