I don’t have a problem with the way you pause the videos for analysis but it really touched me that you just played it through all the way this time. Chester means a lot to so many people.

I Loved Linkin Park! When I heard about Chester it was terrible. Now every time I hear one of their songs on the radio I just think where they could be today. God Bless!
I'm from a country half the way across the planet, grew up with Linkinpark, never had a chance to see the man live, and yet here it is on the internet, a person who knows him. It's surreal knowing people who were this close to him also watching, and caring. Thank you for this!
Greenway or Washington? I've worked with people who went to school with him at Centennial (early on) as well. All had nothing but good to say, even the ones outside his tribe, who just say he was kind, if not a little easy to wound, like high school kids tend to do to the more sensitive.
I get the whole “if you had only called” part, but I honestly think he was in a much better place, finally. And knowing what I know now about this wicked world we live in, I honestly 100% believe he and Chris were murdered. They were both in better places then they had been I do believe the 2 of them were working on a documentary exposing the wicked people who run the world. And like countless others, they were silenced. And I pray these wicked ones are exposed and judged. RIP CB and CC

46yr old man. Every time I hear this acoustic version, I shed a tear or three. Chester was a Once-In-A-Generation vocalist. Open. Raw. Vulnerable. Overflowing with talent. A loss felt worldwide. Even long after he's gone, he still moves us. Chester will live on forever in our hearts.
I was lucky enough to be in the front row of their concert about 15 years ago. They did the studio version of Crawling and Chester did the same thing he did here. I got to shake his hand in disbelief in the middle of the last chorus. This guy who I had been listening to since I was 12 for almost 10 years. I considered him the best vocalist ever. He shaped how I feel about music and even my own emotions. To have that brief interaction with him and realize he's really just a normal guy doing remarkable things is a feeling I'll probably never forget. He was a legendary person who inspired millions of people in one way or another.
The original version is soo much heavier than this version. This version, being so quiet, and being so many years after the original version, sounds like a soul that is no longer angry but instead now broken. A very touching rendition of this song.
@stevensteele1338He passed away 7 days after my grandma did, who was the closest relative to me to die. It was probably the fact that our family was all together in the same place when she took her last breath, giving us such a cathartic moment to participate in together, that when Chester died, and I didn’t have that, all I could do was scream. It was indeed as heavy as losing a family member for me 💔
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. It's almost as if his music was a cry for help as well as a message to everyone else going through periods of depression and drug abuse. It's so unfortunate and sad that he lost this fight, the world is a lesser place without him in it. Rest In Peace Chester, we all miss you brother!!!
His passing still makes me cry. I will never get over it. His voice and the emotion he put into his singing drew me in to his music. But it breaks my heart, and makes me feel selfish now in hindsight knowing how much he was hurting and struggling and that it was what made him the amazing singer and human that he was. And yeah, his passing definitely destroyed a lot of hope for those of us battling depression and other demons. 😢
@@irenegriffin3050he deserved to d!e. He’s a coward! It’s Mother Nature at work, kills off the weak! Suicide is a sin. So he’s NOT resting in peace because he’s not allowed in heaven because of suicide.
@irenegriffin3050 I know he saved so many people with his art.... even though he couldn't save himself. I think... we honor him by holding on to hope. 💚
@@irenegriffin3050 After he died I ordered a hand drawn picture of him from an artist in Germany. Just wanted something cool to remember him by. In the details I put “RIP Chester”. The person I ordered it from included a hand written note about how much Chester meant to them and missing him. His reach and impact is so massive still. Like you said, his pain was almost the most beautiful aspect of his music. I don’t take it for granted sharing Chester‘s memory and personal impact with other people, wherever they are. RIP Chester
@@tomjudge7920 i understand that completely, I fell into a deep depression after my Father passed away, I tried outpatient. my family realized I needed to be where help was and it helped so much. When I said the help he needed I should have been more specific and said inpatient. Peace
@@martymcpeak4748sadly sometimes there is no long term help 😢 I've struggled my whole life and it's really hard. It was probably just one of those moments that if someone had been there he probably would have gotten through it but sadly we don't always have someone there at every moment unfortunately. I also can't imagine how absolutely horrible it must feel to have so much success and so many options for yourself and still not being able to feel happy still not being able to make it ok it must be such an overwhelming feeling. People talk like how can a celebrity be so depressed and I don't think they understand it's probably even worse for them because they could essentially have anything they possibly want or do anything they want except make the depression go away
He was taken from us, like Chris Cornell as they were about to expose the sick people who prey on the worlds children, and they couldn’t be allowed to live
I really think there was no "outside of oneself" help that coud have miraculously "cured" Chester... I think that the depth of emotion inside is what drew many to him, amplified by his voice, that Linkin Park magic. I think to survive with this, you have to learn to harness it, to realise the depth of emotion you feel is not something that everyone has, but it is a normal part - just like some people get different skills than others.
I’m 47 myself and I’m right there with you brother. Chester touched our lives and though he is gone, his voice lives on in our hearts, forever. Much love, friend.
I hope you’re not a selfish coward like this guy! There’s family and friends who love you, you just won’t be hurting yourself, you will k!ll them if you go down a cowardly path
Same here. I was diagnosed over 30 years ago and it is a daily battle that sometimes you fell you can't win. I have learned to give meaning to my life, but it has not been easy. I know I am not alone, but sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who knows I'm in pain. Keep fighting the good fight and remember you are loved and needed by those around you.
This version hits harder considering that we lost him shortly after this performance. His voice has more pain in it even if its a softer version than the original. He is deeply missed.
wow I'm so used to the studio version and this is the first time I've heard it performed like that. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you for sharing this. I miss Chester.
Kinda reminds me of papa roach angry young last resort and falling in reverse older broken person…..Chester an co is way better just feel a similar vibe personally
I always cry watching this video, the interaction between Chester and the audience and how gentle they are with each other. The world needs more caring interactions like this. It would make it a much better place. Thanks for another wonderful reaction.
Firstly..you are truly beautiful...secondly Chester was fighting a battle that in the end took his life ..same with Chris Cornell...same with Robin Williams...depression and the inability to cope is a long difficult road...and to overcome it is sometimes impossible ..to those that carry that weight daily and continue on ...know that you do matter.
56 yr old father of 4 here...1st time hearing/watching this song/video. Started tearing up half way before you did. Btw, this is my daughter's fav group. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for your channel.
The isolation and hopelessness so many of us experience is one of the worst parts of trauma response and mental illness. The connection from music is sometimes the only lifeline we have. Hearing and feeling that understanding from another, knowing we're not alone, hearing that its ok to be who we are and feel the way we do: it's indescribable. And here is a perfect example. Another artist who has saved many of us. Connecting those whose pain he knows and who know his in return.
The way the sound matured and evolved over time. To hear the original version so full angst and rage that defined a generation, and now to hear how it dwelt in sorrow and pain. You can hear him wailing quietly from inside his own mind. It hurts me to my core to hear how haunting his voice is in this version. So near the end of it all for him. RIP Chester. Linkin Park gave form and a voice to things I felt but didn’t understand for years.
“These wounds, they will not heal.” …And for Chester, they never did. That part sent me into oblivion. He literally *was* his music to the very end, and I know his vulnerability in the form of art impacted so many preteens like myself way back when Linkin Park first gained real exposure. By doing so, he helped to shape & fortify so many young fans that grew into the people we are today. I hope more than *anything* that he’s at peace now, wherever he is. Thank you for giving your existence everything you had, Chester, and for allowing us to experience it with you, even when it was unbearable for you. ❤︎
It's so crazy to think about how many years he put his pain out there so plainly and nothing was ever able to help him. I hope in the end he knew how many of us did get help because of him and the voice he gave us.
@@leftocastpunx83 Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me _(told you everything loud and clear)_ but nobody's listening Call to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me _(told you everything loud and clear)_ but nobody's listening
I had never heard this version of Crawling before, and it broke my heart to listen to it, it's just so personal and beautiful. The 2010s were a lousy time for losing great rock singers - David Bowie, Scott Weiland, Chester, Chris Cornell, Prince, George Michael, Delores O'riordan, Tom Petty...Those talents that did so much for us music fans can never be replaced, but at least their music lives on. Thank You for sharing this with us! I'm going to go wipe off the tears now...
It really is a powerful song and your reaction was equally powerful. Knowing how Chester's story closed adds so much poignancy to these lyrics. I think we were all you listening to this.
I'm not going to lie, I have tears running down my face listening to this. Chester was an amazing artist. He was so broken. I hope he found the peace he needed. RIP Chester. Thank you for all that you gave us
The first time I saw them live it was at a festival. I had heard of Linkin Park, but I didn't really know much about them. I cried my eyes out the whole set. It was the raw emotion in his voice. You didn't just hear his words, you felt them to your core. He didn't just sing, he poured his heart out on stage in every single line, every performance.
Chester was different. His voice is… was so so special. And not only he, but the whole, they where here for so many of us. And it still hurts today, that Chaz isn‘t around anymore. The only good thing out of this? The LP Army isn‘t just a fanbase anymore, we are one big family. Everybody is watching out for the rest. Because we all in this together. #MakeChesterProud
Chester deeply touched so many people and put words to things a lot of us were afraid or unable to communicate. Allowing us to watch your visceral reaction to this song I feel like shows a lot of vulnerability and bravery. Thank you for sharing it.
This hurts so much...Chester's loss will always hurt so much. He sang his pain so loud.... and we sang it right back to him... and we still lost him. He knew he wasn't alone. And it wasn't enough. I think that's why it was so shocking to all of us.
As a man, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a therapist whos faught deamons, wanted to give up, and saw no reason the throws of depression are unbearable at times. Finding hope is bleak and the walls close in. Chester vocalized hisvstory in real time with his fans and helped countless along the way. Tragically his fight ended in a tragic way. His messages continue to resonate and help people. Stay connected to people regardless of which side of depression you may be on. Its a brutal fight.
Your raw and real reactions are why I keep coming back to you every time you post. While I’m a music and vocal enthusiast, it is all lost when watching and listening to you.
This is how he left this world, in the warm embrace of his fans, the extended hands with the touch of appreciation and understanding. He left this life to continue living in every fan's soul. Sad you left, glad you were here Chester.
This version makes me cry. You can hear his personal struggle with his depression so much in the way he vocalizes this. His voice was so beautiful. I wish he could have found his way back. He is missed so much by so many.
I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but I appreciate their contributions and how many lives they touched. Watching this "with" you, I cried so much. Just seeing all of the love being offered to him from his fans, and knowing that it wasn't enough to keep him around was so impactful and profound...This opened up a new respect for Chester within me.
I rarely watch footage from this live concert, because it is so intimate. And I miss Chester so much. I want to remembe him with a powerful voice, full of energy. From all the good and talented people, that have left us, he is the one, I miss the most.
This is one of the best versions of Crawling that I have heard. Chester's voice is so damn beautiful in this piano version. Lost without words! Love and miss you Chester!
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" is a quote that will stay with me forever. I have been in that place and have had many friends and family be in that place. I wish that everyone who has ever had those thoughts or ever does have those thoughts remembers that no bad how hopeless it may seem there are people who care and there are resources, please reach out, please say something to someone, please find the help you need and deserve. R.I.P. Chester you will be missed by so many.
One of THE voices of all time. He had a very 'inside out' approach to his performances. The angst, the darkness, the pain always sounded genuine, now, knowing the journey his life took, they sound even more powerful. The loss of anyone so young is heart breaking, yet his legacy will last! And the power of his singing is proved by your emotional reaction. Thank you for sharing
I’m a proud 90s kid. I practically worshipped Linkin Park. I have never heard this version of the song. I say this to let you know you were not the only one crying during this video, thank you for the raw emotion.
The single/album version of this was most likely the first Linkin Park song I ever heard, back in 2000. This live, stripped down piano version is very moving, and new to me.
It was definitely the first for a lot of people. For me it was Place for My Head and I instantly fell in love with the band. It was the perfect hype music for any situation. (And in my case, playing Halo)
You hit several points that made this group so good. I remember when I first started listening to them, the most profound, often overlooked part was the depth of the lyrics. People of all ages, color, culture could, if hearing the words, identify with. Chester was unfiltered and wore his emotions on his sleeve! Great work 🙏🏻
This is the first time I’ve heard this version, WOW the feeling and emotion comes through so much more powerful, I could see the moment you connected with the vocals. Thank You for sharing this with us. His talent lives on through his music.
You can just feel in his voice how hurt he is and is struggling to fight his own demons in his head. What an awesome singer and musician he was. RIP, Chester. 😢
This video brings me to tears every time. He was so emotional when he sang, we lost an amazing man way too early. Love you, Chester 😢 you are missed by all of us.
This song hit me when I first heard it nearly 24 years ago. At 60 the words are even more powerful. Hearing/listening to this version is heartbreaking.
I'm so happy I came across your videos. The passion you display for the music and the visceral connection to one's soul that brought you to tears. Your channel is the very 1st YT channel I've ever subscribed too. I'm excited to be here. God bless 🙌
I've heard this song countless times, but never this Live version. Very touching, I was nearly brought to tears myself. This is how it should be done, a performer opening themselves and singing from the soul, the fans all singing in unison, the world is so right, so perfect, if only for those fleeting moments. TO be honest, am very grateful I heard it this way today. I will always remember you showed it to me. No matter what anyone else thinks, thats important to me. My Thanks to You, Miss Bethany Hickman The 'radio version' - very different. So, you get to review it one more time!
I can't help but cry everytime I hear Chester's voice. He really was the voice of a generation. His songs made so many of us feel seen and understood when we didn't even understand ourselves. Rest in peace, Chester. You're a beautiful soul and have helped so many people.
Chester will stay with us all forever, thank you for being open minded and taking the time to analyse this song. As with any live LP performance the emotion and power is tangible. "Sang like an angel screamed like a Demon"
Its not even 9am and I've already shed a tear today. Didn't see that coming. You never fully realise how much you appreciate something until its taken away. I'm never getting over this one.
This performance rattled my entire core, I struggle everyday and every line of this song resinates and literally always has since my mom passed to suicide at 12, we miss you Chester
No matter how many times I'd listened to this song, every time I break down. Chester's voice was his way to tell us his pain, to share his feelings as they're ours. He connected all of us. I miss him so badly
This is a hard one to get through...I've watched this many times and cry every time. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are a beautiful person (inside and out) and I thank you for sharing this with us. Peace and Love my friend.
Your reaction, honesty, and emotion really touched me. You are a really lovely person both inside and out, thank you for being vulnerable for us all to see.
Thank you for being so raw with your emotions. Chester was so raw it's only fitting. I think Chester brought a voice to feelings that many of us angsty teens didn't know how to define. Im forever grateful.
I don't know if you knew this at the time, of you've found out since. I'm sure it's in the comments somewhere. Chester Bennington lost his battle with depression back in 2017. He took his own life, and he...kind of let everyone know he was going to do it in a very elegant way. The last song he released was called "One More Light", and it is widely considered to be his suicide note. His goodbye to the world. I discovered Linkin Park at an extremely unfortunate time in my life. A time that would turn me to depression, for many many years, that led to an attempt on my own life. Thankfully, it failed. I dealt with suicidal ideation for more than half of my life. When Chester took himself out of the world, he took a piece of me with him. I was emotionally wounded that day, and still am. I could not stop thinking about how much I wish I knew him personally, and how I wish i was there at that moment. His music was a distraction form all the trauma i was going through as a young teenager and I wish I could have been there to repay the favor. I miss him so much. But his death was not in vain. It taught me to keep an eye on your loved ones. To check in now and then. I won my battle with depression, and I make sure the people in my life do, too. Sorry for the rant... I also want to tank you for this beautiful, heart-felt reaction. I discovered you a few days ago, and I've been hooked to your channel ever since. Thank you for everything that you do. You've touched our hearts in an amazing way. Take care of yourself ❤
We all miss him a lot,he still means a lot to us all… Even after all this years! Thanks for all the masterpieces you brought to life with your unique voice…
So hauntingly beautiful. One more light, the messenger, roads untraveled, my december, crawling, valentine's day, waiting for the end, powerless, hands held high. LP has released so many beautiful arrangements through the years and I owe them a lot. Sure some of the more heavier pieces are amazing as well, but thinking back through the years listening to LP, my favorites have slowly shifted. I have a beautiful picture of Chester hanging on my wall but I owe all of them so much. May Chester forever be in our hearts.
A lot of my favourite musicians have passed away in my time, but Chester was probably the hardest one of all. He got so many of us through hard times in our lives and gave us so much, and it feels like we didn't give enough back for him. His voice was so distinctive, it's been said so many times but he could sing like an angel and scream like a demon. RIP Chester, you helped more of us than you will ever know. And thank you for this reaction and letting it play through.
I’ve never heard of the song; the simplicity of his words have such universal effects on everyone at this concert, and I imagine those watching this performance. The connection with this man was made, well before knowing his pain led to a tragic end. This is now my favorite reaction from Bethany. The feelings she just shared, allowing her to be vulnerable to all that watch this. Her humanity and kindness are on full display, it felt like she was feeling all the pain this song evokes. My intuition says she’s an empath, which is a overly used word for those that feel the pain in the world, yet have a very positive effect on those around them.
82 people just didn't understand his style... Dude is a Legend to me, and if he never existed, I wouldn'd be here. He saved my life and oh damn... His voice and character were precious. Still are. I'm 36 and this guy saved my ass...
Wow. This version of Crawling literally made me cry. Look how much Chester was reaching out for genuine human connection - so heart-wrenching. . . Then when I was done bawling and could listen closely, I heard him lift the end of the word "in." You're right - it was so beautiful. So subtle. I'd never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
What strikes me about seeing this again is that despite the depth and connection with the audience and how much he cared for people the demons he faced were so persistent. You can feel the pervasive loneliness even in a crowd of people. It leaves me feeling like there aren't answers that help or make sense for some of us. I will always remember Chester.
The fact that you, being on such a different musical path, can appreciate something almost diametrically opposed from what you do in your career is both incredibly amazing and mindboggling to me. At this point in my life, many of my closest friends have studied music, be it piano, violin or voice, and they either teach, perform or both. I'm the self taught kid who's played around with a guitar since the age of 5m and dj-ing later on. I think I would get goosebumps if at one of our get togethers, just at the right moment, I'd put this on "by mistake", or some Chris Cornell song, and i'd see them just listen, their eyes lit up and misty. That feeling that someone gets the same thing you do is truly unique in life. It just proves that the code we're built upon is the same, regardless of race, nationality, religion or any other construct separating us.
Please do more of Linkin Park, Chester was taken by Suicide yet he lived as the most courageous to say it all even it hurts. Chester shed light on many souls yet he left us alone in the Dark. Please, make more of these, he will be always a father figure to me who helped me get out of dark places, I wish him peace after death.
There’s a reason that I watch this channel. Yes, I love seeing reactions to great music and the artists that pour their hearts into each song, but how can anyone not fall in love with you. You are such a genuine and beautiful person.
There is another song linkin park does called Given Up. I recommend you check it out. It shows what Chester is truly capable of. They also do a cover of adele - rolling in the deep which is another must watch.
Chester was such an amazing vocalist. He could go from being an in your voice vocalist to being so melodic. This video proves this. He was an amazing being that left this world way to early. Thank you for this video and showing Chesters amazing talent..
Ayant assisté à ce moment hors du temps en live avec ce groupe légendaire, je peux vous confirmer que nous avions les larmes aux yeux et que la voix de Chester raisonnait dans toute la salle de Bercy à Paris. Un souvenir extraordinaire, restant gravé dans nos cœurs. Il nous manque...
I don’t have a problem with the way you pause the videos for analysis but it really touched me that you just played it through all the way this time. Chester means a lot to so many people.

Chester went to high school with my daughter in Phx, Az.

The original version sounds like he is still struggling through life. The quieter version sounds like he's done struggling... 😭
It makes the song hit so hard after what happened:/ rip

@@Syn741not that he's done struggling. That he has stopped resisting. A slow way to go. 😔
in the original version it sounds like Chester is mad, angry and fighting to stay alive. This version sounds like Chester has accepted defeat
Another brilliant analysis as well.
Agreed, I much prefer the studio album version. That's what grabbed me!
So true, sadly.😢😢
Sadly...I think it was a goodbye to his fans.
That's an amazing observation. Well done sir.
It breaks my heart over and over again how raw and open he was about his struggles, and still it was not enough.
many such cases unfortunately 😭

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. It's almost as if his music was a cry for help as well as a message to everyone else going through periods of depression and drug abuse. It's so unfortunate and sad that he lost this fight, the world is a lesser place without him in it. Rest In Peace Chester, we all miss you brother!!!

I cried like a little girl when I heard Chester died. He was the beacon of hope for those who struggled. And he couldn’t make it through.
His passing still makes me cry. I will never get over it. His voice and the emotion he put into his singing drew me in to his music. But it breaks my heart, and makes me feel selfish now in hindsight knowing how much he was hurting and struggling and that it was what made him the amazing singer and human that he was. And yeah, his passing definitely destroyed a lot of hope for those of us battling depression and other demons. 😢
@@irenegriffin3050he deserved to d!e. He’s a coward! It’s Mother Nature at work, kills off the weak! Suicide is a sin. So he’s NOT resting in peace because he’s not allowed in heaven because of suicide.
@irenegriffin3050 I know he saved so many people with his art.... even though he couldn't save himself. I think... we honor him by holding on to hope. 💚
@@irenegriffin3050 After he died I ordered a hand drawn picture of him from an artist in Germany. Just wanted something cool to remember him by. In the details I put “RIP Chester”. The person I ordered it from included a hand written note about how much Chester meant to them and missing him.
His reach and impact is so massive still. Like you said, his pain was almost the most beautiful aspect of his music.
I don’t take it for granted sharing Chester‘s memory and personal impact with other people, wherever they are.
RIP Chester
We must honor him and NEVER give up...
God that hurt, Chester was such a sweet gentle soul, but so troubled. I just wish he could have gotten the help he needed. Gone but not forgotten.
Chester was getting help his wife said he was doing much better .... but years of depression did him in
@@tomjudge7920 i understand that completely, I fell into a deep depression after my Father passed away, I tried outpatient. my family realized I needed to be where help was and it helped so much. When I said the help he needed I should have been more specific and said inpatient. Peace
@@martymcpeak4748sadly sometimes there is no long term help 😢 I've struggled my whole life and it's really hard. It was probably just one of those moments that if someone had been there he probably would have gotten through it but sadly we don't always have someone there at every moment unfortunately. I also can't imagine how absolutely horrible it must feel to have so much success and so many options for yourself and still not being able to feel happy still not being able to make it ok it must be such an overwhelming feeling. People talk like how can a celebrity be so depressed and I don't think they understand it's probably even worse for them because they could essentially have anything they possibly want or do anything they want except make the depression go away
He was taken from us, like Chris Cornell as they were about to expose the sick people who prey on the worlds children, and they couldn’t be allowed to live
I really think there was no "outside of oneself" help that coud have miraculously "cured" Chester... I think that the depth of emotion inside is what drew many to him, amplified by his voice, that Linkin Park magic. I think to survive with this, you have to learn to harness it, to realise the depth of emotion you feel is not something that everyone has, but it is a normal part - just like some people get different skills than others.
I’m 49 and crying like a baby. Such a powerful, beautiful and heartbreaking song. RIP Chester.
I’m 47 myself and I’m right there with you brother. Chester touched our lives and though he is gone, his voice lives on in our hearts, forever. Much love, friend.
25 here brother, was not ready for that
I'm 56 and I'm Right there with you my friend....😢
61 y/o here............
72 and I've listened to this song hundreds of time - universal
As someone that battles depression. It was hard to see another one of us go down. Thank you for everything Chester.
Hope the best for you. You are not alone.
this comment is so true
I hope you’re not a selfish coward like this guy! There’s family and friends who love you, you just won’t be hurting yourself, you will k!ll them if you go down a cowardly path
It wasn't a suicide, he was murdered. He was going to talk about child trafficking linked to John podesta (Hilary's friend).
Same here. I was diagnosed over 30 years ago and it is a daily battle that sometimes you fell you can't win. I have learned to give meaning to my life, but it has not been easy. I know I am not alone, but sometimes it feels like I'm the only person who knows I'm in pain. Keep fighting the good fight and remember you are loved and needed by those around you.
This version hits harder considering that we lost him shortly after this performance. His voice has more pain in it even if its a softer version than the original. He is deeply missed.
wow I'm so used to the studio version and this is the first time I've heard it performed like that. It hit me like a ton of bricks. Thank you for sharing this. I miss Chester.
Kinda reminds me of papa roach angry young last resort and falling in reverse older broken person…..Chester an co is way better just feel a similar vibe personally
Same here!
I always cry watching this video, the interaction between Chester and the audience and how gentle they are with each other. The world needs more caring interactions like this. It would make it a much better place. Thanks for another wonderful reaction.
Wow, this version is hard to listen too. Linkin Park put words to what so many people have felt inside.
Agree. I’m in tears.
Yeah. I've replayed this 3x and I still cry.
linkin park was like a pressure valvue for so many 90s kids who struggled with life..
expressing what they felt
Firstly..you are truly beautiful...secondly Chester was fighting a battle that in the end took his life ..same with Chris Cornell...same with Robin Williams...depression and the inability to cope is a long difficult road...and to overcome it is sometimes impossible ..to those that carry that weight daily and continue on ...know that you do matter.
Robin Williams had an undiagnosed illness Lewy Body Dementia which was the likely cause of taking his life. Very sad.
56 yr old father of 4 here...1st time hearing/watching this song/video. Started tearing up half way before you did. Btw, this is my daughter's fav group. You are a beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for your channel.
The isolation and hopelessness so many of us experience is one of the worst parts of trauma response and mental illness. The connection from music is sometimes the only lifeline we have. Hearing and feeling that understanding from another, knowing we're not alone, hearing that its ok to be who we are and feel the way we do: it's indescribable.
And here is a perfect example. Another artist who has saved many of us. Connecting those whose pain he knows and who know his in return.
We hear you. We care. I care. The world is full of more like us.
@@Sleepyboiwonder *hugs* 💜
❤ missing Chester .. fuck hopelessness..
The way the sound matured and evolved over time. To hear the original version so full angst and rage that defined a generation, and now to hear how it dwelt in sorrow and pain. You can hear him wailing quietly from inside his own mind. It hurts me to my core to hear how haunting his voice is in this version. So near the end of it all for him. RIP Chester. Linkin Park gave form and a voice to things I felt but didn’t understand for years.
“These wounds, they will not heal.”
…And for Chester, they never did. That part sent me into oblivion. He literally *was* his music to the very end, and I know his vulnerability in the form of art impacted so many preteens like myself way back when Linkin Park first gained real exposure. By doing so, he helped to shape & fortify so many young fans that grew into the people we are today. I hope more than *anything* that he’s at peace now, wherever he is.
Thank you for giving your existence everything you had, Chester, and for allowing us to experience it with you, even when it was unbearable for you. ❤︎
It's so crazy to think about how many years he put his pain out there so plainly and nothing was ever able to help him. I hope in the end he knew how many of us did get help because of him and the voice he gave us.
@@leftocastpunx83 i feel he's watching from above now, having the peace he never had in his life. he live on in his music, and we make it live on
@@leftocastpunx83
Tried to give you warning, but everyone ignores me
_(told you everything loud and clear)_ but nobody's listening
Call to you so clearly, but you don't want to hear me
_(told you everything loud and clear)_ but nobody's listening
I had never heard this version of Crawling before, and it broke my heart to listen to it, it's just so personal and beautiful. The 2010s were a lousy time for losing great rock singers - David Bowie, Scott Weiland, Chester, Chris Cornell, Prince, George Michael, Delores O'riordan, Tom Petty...Those talents that did so much for us music fans can never be replaced, but at least their music lives on. Thank You for sharing this with us! I'm going to go wipe off the tears now...
It really is a powerful song and your reaction was equally powerful. Knowing how Chester's story closed adds so much poignancy to these lyrics. I think we were all you listening to this.
This is one of the most raw music reaction videos I've seen. Seeing Chester in this video (the way he interacts with the LP audience) hits hard🖤🩶.
I'm not going to lie, I have tears running down my face listening to this. Chester was an amazing artist. He was so broken. I hope he found the peace he needed. RIP Chester. Thank you for all that you gave us
The first time I saw them live it was at a festival. I had heard of Linkin Park, but I didn't really know much about them. I cried my eyes out the whole set. It was the raw emotion in his voice. You didn't just hear his words, you felt them to your core. He didn't just sing, he poured his heart out on stage in every single line, every performance.
One of the most emotional moments in music history 💫 so raw 😔 RIP Chester 🙏🏻
I haven't cried from music in YEARS. Dammit Chester.
This version makes me cry every time it's haunting. Chester's voice lead me through my teenage years and still gets me today.
Chester was different.
His voice is… was so so special.
And not only he, but the whole, they where here for so many of us.
And it still hurts today, that Chaz isn‘t around anymore.
The only good thing out of this? The LP Army isn‘t just a fanbase anymore, we are one big family. Everybody is watching out for the rest. Because we all in this together.
#MakeChesterProud
Chester deeply touched so many people and put words to things a lot of us were afraid or unable to communicate. Allowing us to watch your visceral reaction to this song I feel like shows a lot of vulnerability and bravery. Thank you for sharing it.
This hurts so much...Chester's loss will always hurt so much. He sang his pain so loud.... and we sang it right back to him... and we still lost him. He knew he wasn't alone. And it wasn't enough. I think that's why it was so shocking to all of us.
Chester , i dearly miss your voice. Bethany your reaction was so sweet and beautiful ❤❤❤
As a man, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a therapist whos faught deamons, wanted to give up, and saw no reason the throws of depression are unbearable at times. Finding hope is bleak and the walls close in. Chester vocalized hisvstory in real time with his fans and helped countless along the way. Tragically his fight ended in a tragic way. His messages continue to resonate and help people. Stay connected to people regardless of which side of depression you may be on. Its a brutal fight.
Your raw and real reactions are why I keep coming back to you every time you post. While I’m a music and vocal enthusiast, it is all lost when watching and listening to you.
This is how he left this world, in the warm embrace of his fans, the extended hands with the touch of appreciation and understanding. He left this life to continue living in every fan's soul. Sad you left, glad you were here Chester.
Your reactions really do justice to and more to legendary performances like this. Thank you.
This version makes me cry. You can hear his personal struggle with his depression so much in the way he vocalizes this. His voice was so beautiful. I wish he could have found his way back. He is missed so much by so many.
I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but I appreciate their contributions and how many lives they touched. Watching this "with" you, I cried so much. Just seeing all of the love being offered to him from his fans, and knowing that it wasn't enough to keep him around was so impactful and profound...This opened up a new respect for Chester within me.
I rarely watch footage from this live concert, because it is so intimate. And I miss Chester so much. I want to remembe him with a powerful voice, full of energy. From all the good and talented people, that have left us, he is the one, I miss the most.
This is one of the best versions of Crawling that I have heard. Chester's voice is so damn beautiful in this piano version. Lost without words! Love and miss you Chester!
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" is a quote that will stay with me forever. I have been in that place and have had many friends and family be in that place. I wish that everyone who has ever had those thoughts or ever does have those thoughts remembers that no bad how hopeless it may seem there are people who care and there are resources, please reach out, please say something to someone, please find the help you need and deserve. R.I.P. Chester you will be missed by so many.
One of THE voices of all time. He had a very 'inside out' approach to his performances. The angst, the darkness, the pain always sounded genuine, now, knowing the journey his life took, they sound even more powerful.
The loss of anyone so young is heart breaking, yet his legacy will last!
And the power of his singing is proved by your emotional reaction.
Thank you for sharing
He was just as good in his previous band, Grey Daze. Even more raw emotion really. Sun Song is one example. He's truly GOATed
Such an amazing song but sad at the same time… he has thrown his heart out on the floor right there
I’m a proud 90s kid. I practically worshipped Linkin Park. I have never heard this version of the song. I say this to let you know you were not the only one crying during this video, thank you for the raw emotion.
The Emotion in Chester hits deep with his audience. He was a Master and his voice was heavenly full of Emotion, touched me with every word.
The single/album version of this was most likely the first Linkin Park song I ever heard, back in 2000. This live, stripped down piano version is very moving, and new to me.
It was definitely the first for a lot of people.
For me it was Place for My Head and I instantly fell in love with the band.
It was the perfect hype music for any situation. (And in my case, playing Halo)
the one from the new York underground station was cool too
Yeah, dang, I loved the studio version, but this really feels like he’s at home, isolated and hopeless.
They did a lot of this and it was always heart ripping emotional wish I caught them live 😢
Your tears and emotions over Chester’s singing was so beautiful yet sad at once. My tears welled up too. 😢
You hit several points that made this group so good. I remember when I first started listening to them, the most profound, often overlooked part was the depth of the lyrics. People of all ages, color, culture could, if hearing the words, identify with. Chester was unfiltered and wore his emotions on his sleeve! Great work 🙏🏻
This is the first time I’ve heard this version, WOW the feeling and emotion comes through so much more powerful, I could see the moment you connected with the vocals. Thank You for sharing this with us. His talent lives on through his music.
Her facial expressions are all I need on these videos. So real and vulnerable.
You can just feel in his voice how hurt he is and is struggling to fight his own demons in his head. What an awesome singer and musician he was. RIP, Chester. 😢
Thank you for opening your heart and soul. The song and your reaction touched me.❤
Watching someone listen to this for the first time makes it feel like he’s still here. ❤😢
This video brings me to tears every time. He was so emotional when he sang, we lost an amazing man way too early. Love you, Chester 😢 you are missed by all of us.
It's heavy for sure. You know he was crying out. She got it right away. RIP Chester.
54 and still makes me cry. Just like it hit you…
This song hit me when I first heard it nearly 24 years ago. At 60 the words are even more powerful. Hearing/listening to this version is heartbreaking.
It's a seriously powerful song and I'm so glad you felt it too!
I will be 80 years old some day but I will still cry my heart out watching this video...
I'm so happy I came across your videos. The passion you display for the music and the visceral connection to one's soul that brought you to tears. Your channel is the very 1st YT channel I've ever subscribed too. I'm excited to be here. God bless 🙌
I've heard this song countless times, but never this Live version. Very touching, I was nearly brought to tears myself. This is how it should be done, a performer opening themselves and singing from the soul, the fans all singing in unison, the world is so right, so perfect, if only for those fleeting moments. TO be honest, am very grateful I heard it this way today. I will always remember you showed it to me. No matter what anyone else thinks, thats important to me. My Thanks to You, Miss Bethany Hickman
The 'radio version' - very different. So, you get to review it one more time!
I can't help but cry everytime I hear Chester's voice. He really was the voice of a generation. His songs made so many of us feel seen and understood when we didn't even understand ourselves. Rest in peace, Chester. You're a beautiful soul and have helped so many people.
Chester will stay with us all forever, thank you for being open minded and taking the time to analyse this song. As with any live LP performance the emotion and power is tangible. "Sang like an angel screamed like a Demon"
Felt really down and been on a Chester binge and come across you I’m still here thank you for this video
Its not even 9am and I've already shed a tear today. Didn't see that coming. You never fully realise how much you appreciate something until its taken away. I'm never getting over this one.
This performance rattled my entire core, I struggle everyday and every line of this song resinates and literally always has since my mom passed to suicide at 12, we miss you Chester
No matter how many times I'd listened to this song, every time I break down. Chester's voice was his way to tell us his pain, to share his feelings as they're ours. He connected all of us. I miss him so badly
This version always has me teared up. He gives his heart out on this rendition. You can feel it all
This hurts every time. No matter how many times I hear it. Even if I'm having a good day, it still hurts.
I have only heard the studio version of this amazing track. But I am glad to have heard this version.
I haven't heard this version of the song! No other words, just a lot of feelings. His music meant the world to me.
Such a lovely spirit you have. It's not always easy, is it. Luckily, these are but passing moments.
This is a hard one to get through...I've watched this many times and cry every time. Thank you for sharing this with us. You are a beautiful person (inside and out) and I thank you for sharing this with us. Peace and Love my friend.
Your reaction, honesty, and emotion really touched me. You are a really lovely person both inside and out, thank you for being vulnerable for us all to see.
Chester Bennington will live in my heart forever. I still breakdown 💔💔💔💔. Linkin Park will never be right without Chester vocals.
Not all wounds are visible, RIP Chester.
Thank you for being so raw with your emotions. Chester was so raw it's only fitting. I think Chester brought a voice to feelings that many of us angsty teens didn't know how to define. Im forever grateful.
I don't know if you knew this at the time, of you've found out since. I'm sure it's in the comments somewhere.
Chester Bennington lost his battle with depression back in 2017. He took his own life, and he...kind of let everyone know he was going to do it in a very elegant way. The last song he released was called "One More Light", and it is widely considered to be his suicide note. His goodbye to the world.
I discovered Linkin Park at an extremely unfortunate time in my life. A time that would turn me to depression, for many many years, that led to an attempt on my own life. Thankfully, it failed. I dealt with suicidal ideation for more than half of my life. When Chester took himself out of the world, he took a piece of me with him. I was emotionally wounded that day, and still am. I could not stop thinking about how much I wish I knew him personally, and how I wish i was there at that moment. His music was a distraction form all the trauma i was going through as a young teenager and I wish I could have been there to repay the favor. I miss him so much. But his death was not in vain. It taught me to keep an eye on your loved ones. To check in now and then. I won my battle with depression, and I make sure the people in my life do, too. Sorry for the rant...
I also want to tank you for this beautiful, heart-felt reaction. I discovered you a few days ago, and I've been hooked to your channel ever since. Thank you for everything that you do. You've touched our hearts in an amazing way.
Take care of yourself ❤
Wow, one of the most vulnerable performances I’ve seen. Plus her reaction watching the video. Tears
Thanks for sharing Bethany, I had not heard that beautiful performance by Chester, just absolutely stunning and very touching🥺
He just give me shivers up my spine with his soulful singing. RIP Chester.
We all miss him a lot,he still means a lot to us all… Even after all this years! Thanks for all the masterpieces you brought to life with your unique voice…
So hauntingly beautiful. One more light, the messenger, roads untraveled, my december, crawling, valentine's day, waiting for the end, powerless, hands held high. LP has released so many beautiful arrangements through the years and I owe them a lot. Sure some of the more heavier pieces are amazing as well, but thinking back through the years listening to LP, my favorites have slowly shifted.
I have a beautiful picture of Chester hanging on my wall but I owe all of them so much. May Chester forever be in our hearts.
I always loved that song, the radio version, but I never heard this one before. It was emotional. I loved your reaction to this, so thank you!
A lot of my favourite musicians have passed away in my time, but Chester was probably the hardest one of all. He got so many of us through hard times in our lives and gave us so much, and it feels like we didn't give enough back for him. His voice was so distinctive, it's been said so many times but he could sing like an angel and scream like a demon.
RIP Chester, you helped more of us than you will ever know. And thank you for this reaction and letting it play through.
I’ve never heard of the song; the simplicity of his words have such universal effects on everyone at this concert, and I imagine those watching this performance. The connection with this man was made, well before knowing his pain led to a tragic end.
This is now my favorite reaction from Bethany. The feelings she just shared, allowing her to be vulnerable to all that watch this.
Her humanity and kindness are on full display, it felt like she was feeling all the pain this song evokes. My intuition says she’s an empath, which is a overly used word for those that feel the pain in the world, yet have a very positive effect on those around them.
As soon as he started singing, tears, just like you. Thanks for sharing your vulnerability with us. Hard not to with this particular video.
Love how this wonderful song left you completly speachless the first time around ❤
82 people just didn't understand his style... Dude is a Legend to me, and if he never existed, I wouldn'd be here. He saved my life and oh damn... His voice and character were precious. Still are. I'm 36 and this guy saved my ass...
This song rips my soul out every time.
Wow. This version of Crawling literally made me cry. Look how much Chester was reaching out for genuine human connection - so heart-wrenching. . . Then when I was done bawling and could listen closely, I heard him lift the end of the word "in." You're right - it was so beautiful. So subtle. I'd never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
What strikes me about seeing this again is that despite the depth and connection with the audience and how much he cared for people the demons he faced were so persistent. You can feel the pervasive loneliness even in a crowd of people. It leaves me feeling like there aren't answers that help or make sense for some of us. I will always remember Chester.
The fact that you, being on such a different musical path, can appreciate something almost diametrically opposed from what you do in your career is both incredibly amazing and mindboggling to me. At this point in my life, many of my closest friends have studied music, be it piano, violin or voice, and they either teach, perform or both. I'm the self taught kid who's played around with a guitar since the age of 5m and dj-ing later on. I think I would get goosebumps if at one of our get togethers, just at the right moment, I'd put this on "by mistake", or some Chris Cornell song, and i'd see them just listen, their eyes lit up and misty. That feeling that someone gets the same thing you do is truly unique in life. It just proves that the code we're built upon is the same, regardless of race, nationality, religion or any other construct separating us.
Sobbing on my couch at 3 a.m. i didn't expect this to hurt so much. Lovely reaction, thank you so much.
Please do more of Linkin Park, Chester was taken by Suicide yet he lived as the most courageous to say it all even it hurts. Chester shed light on many souls yet he left us alone in the Dark. Please, make more of these, he will be always a father figure to me who helped me get out of dark places, I wish him peace after death.
There’s a reason that I watch this channel. Yes, I love seeing reactions to great music and the artists that pour their hearts into each song, but how can anyone not fall in love with you. You are such a genuine and beautiful person.
There is another song linkin park does called Given Up. I recommend you check it out. It shows what Chester is truly capable of. They also do a cover of adele - rolling in the deep which is another must watch.
Chester was such an amazing vocalist. He could go from being an in your voice vocalist to being so melodic. This video proves this. He was an amazing being that left this world way to early. Thank you for this video and showing Chesters amazing talent..
Ayant assisté à ce moment hors du temps en live avec ce groupe légendaire, je peux vous confirmer que nous avions les larmes aux yeux et que la voix de Chester raisonnait dans toute la salle de Bercy à Paris. Un souvenir extraordinaire, restant gravé dans nos cœurs. Il nous manque...
Your reactions speak so much more than your words. Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
