Wouldn't say he dragged me through difficult times. Did that by myself. But his singing & songs had been very inspirational and beautiful. A man who did what no one else did or with the same depth. The brightest candles, burn out the fastest. RIP Chester. You are a legend.
I had the pleasure of meeting Chester and the rest of the band in Tampa back in 2014 after my mother had convinced security to take us backstage. We had run into Mike while he was just sitting on his phone and they escorted us to a room to see if we could meet the rest of the band. After waiting a bit security came back and told us we couldn't, but as were being escorted out Chester came out into the hall and stopped us. He said "Something in his head was just telling him to come out. I could feel the energy." and he proceeded to talk to us, take photos with us, sign autographs, give us souvenirs and be an all around, absolute gem. You would have never guessed he was dealing with so much. That's a night that I will never forget. I remember exactly where I was when I heard about his death and it felt like losing a close family member. Rest in power, buddy. I will always love you ♥
Gosh your story made me cry! 😢 Sometimes, the people who are really hurt, are the ones who can give the most. I'm glad Chester could make you happy! Definitely an awesome memory to keep! 😊
The stress of feeling like he needed to appease his fans and the sad lyrics if his songs are part of what kept Chester sick. He needed a break from all of it and to get out of the spotlight, but clearly, he wasn't able to let himself just take a break from everything. Chester sang about his deepest feelinga all the time. Thats why they made ONE MORE LIGHT. They wanted to see if the fans of Linkin Park would love them enough to follow them and support them transitioning into a more positive sound. But the "Fans" rejected it.
I can’t say he was dealing with what he was dealing with but the fact that he took the time, and came out showed that he cared. The celebrity can outveto their security it probably meant a lot to him to meet even the most normal fan because he was an entertaining. I imagine he didn’t want you to go home without giving you an awesome story to tell your friends.
@@cosmicabyss7358 Exactly, I agree with everything you said! Chester felt pressure from fans over the One More Light album, from what I read he was constantly upset and sad about it, he definitely felt completely alone again, without any support from fans or anyone else. He should have taken a long vacation 😔 poor sensitive man with a tortured mind
I can't believe it's been 6 years since we lost Chester. I, like millions, was hit so hard when he passed, to me it was like losing a family member. I truely hope you found your peace Chester. R.I.P.
I felt the same exact way when Taylor Hawkins died. I was crying so much for months on end. Was a huge fan growing up, I have all their CDs, I have seen them live, listen to them all the time, and I'm even seeing them at Asbury Park in September. This is gonna be my first time seeing them since Taylor passed. Last time I was able to see them was 5 years ago.
I feel the same. I grew up with his music is voice was so unique and angelic. I can’t even listen to certain songs because I cry for his soul he definitely left too soon and it greatly impacted our lives of his loss😢💔RIP Chester, always remembered and never forgotten….
Same with both me and my husband. He just had something that I cannot put into words, that made him feel like a regular dude and we all knew him personally... The real him.
Bullying & SA are things so many kids suffer in silence. We need mental health in this country. Kids need to feel safe. Chester was such a talented man. The world really lost a gem.
two of the hardest hitting quotes about Chester I've heard; "He saved millions, but millions couldn't save one" "He can scream like the devil, but sing like an angel" RIP Chester....
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
Chester , Avici, Anthony Bordain and one more musician that is dead were making a child trafficking documentary called "The Silent Children" they were all dead before it could be finished.
Im only 12, and have been listening to Linkin Park since I could process what music was. My dad loved Linkin Park, which then carried down to me. Even at 6 years old, I was devastated to hear that Chester died. Another 6 years and I’m still here, listening to his music and watching documentaries like this. He inspired me, with his inspirational lyrics and his fun, kind personality. You could have never guessed this man was so hurt. He didn’t know me, but I sure knew him, because this man changed my life. RIP Chester Bennington, he screamed like a demon, sang like an angel, fought his inner self like a warrior. 1976-2017❤️🕊️
Chester’s voice had a kindness and vulnerability that everyone fell in love with and that matched his personality. Losing him felt like losing someone close.
I was 34 y/o when I bought Hybrid Theory...pregnant & dumped, I already had 3 kids & felt so alone post 9/11. Linkin Park, the Gorillaz & the radio helped me paint the interior of my large apt. Sleepless nights...getting ready for a baby while acting as if everything was fine. I identified with Chester's vocals, lyrics & pain. I didn't know it then, but we had similar childhoods. His passing struck hard, still. Rest in paradise ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is exactly why people like Chester should not be celebrated. We should do our best to forget everything they ever did. A story of giving up and quitting.
@@adammtroutman I understand your thought process here, I really do. I feel the same way about suicide, but, this one I feel. Have you ever been suicidal? Honest question, not trying to offend. I have, and some people just can’t do it anymore. They don’t want to die, they just can no longer survive the pain. Same as a terminal cancer patient who just can’t live through the physical pain another day. It’s just a different kind of pain, but every bit as deadly.
as someone with suicidal toughts I always think about Chester, how he didn't make it, and how I should carry on for his sake. His music helped me through the rough times, ending my life would be an insult to his memory.
Try to be positive man. I was like that and even on antidepressants. I'd encourage you (not kidding) to look into the life of Jesus. God is the source of goodness and love. You have a purpose, are loved and God has a plan for you.
chester was the first celebrity death that actually hit me really hard emotionally, i felt terrible for days after i heard the news. still kind of do. RIP to a legend.
Linkin Park saved my life Chester’s voice felt so relatable at the worst times of my life. I think it’s begun to make more sense. Chester like myself also suffered CPTSD. It makes sense as to why the lyrics were so relatable as well. Songs like Papercut, From the Inside, Somewhere I Belong and Crawling. Was literally like listening to someone tell me they understand how I feel. Was crazy when I first heard them. Sure I’ll never hear a new track from Linkin Park. But these songs are like memories I will always treasure that I can playback any time. Rest in peace Chester.
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
And he'd asked Mike why he always wrote sad music (allegedly) imagine how hard it was singing all that depressing stuff after going through what he did. Post Traumatic comes off more opportunistic now rather than genuine.
Speaking of new tracks, you have at least heard "Lost" and "Fighting Myself", right? Just want to make sure, because hearing those after so many years was a revelation!
Usually celebrity deaths don't have any effect on me but Chester's death hits me really hard. I went into the darkest moment in my life for around a month when I heard the news. At the time of his death, I just became a fan of Linkin Park for 4 years. R.I.P. Chester, you'll forever be missed.
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
I’ve never felt such sadness from the death of a celebrity as I was when Chester and X died. I still get chills and feel my heart drop sometimes when their songs are played around me.
Me either I was so depressed and I didn’t even know him personally I even got on anti depressants and anxiety medication for it. It was weird cuz i have never gotten like that over someone famous passing away like I wouldn’t even leave my house it was weird
@@sabrinalopez9647 we didn’t know him personally but we grew up listening and relating to him and his music. With me personally, someone who felt lost and dealt with emotional issues everyone feels growing up, I felt heard and not alone when I heard his music. So I don’t think it’s strange at all that his death effected you in that way.
@sabrinalopez9647 I was the same way when Taylor Hawkins died last year. I wouldn't stop crying. It hurt me to even listen to my favorite band for a while. Their new album made me cry first time listening to it. I'm seeing them in September in NJ and Idk how I'm gonna see them without crying.
The only death of a person I don't know that made me cry. I don't know what would be of me without the inspiration he gave me throughout my childhood and adolescence. I wish he had realized that despite his scars, he healed millions of people.

@@Scrap5000false, suicided, y’all really would believe anything without proof nowadays would u, of course you do cuz people nowadays don’t know what a fricking anatomy is.
The best song’s usually come from a cathartic retelling of past traumatic events, hence their relatability and mass appeal. When you talk about real things you get a real response. I can only thank him for sharing and bid that he now rest in peace. The great Chester Bennington of Linkin Park.
Love you Chester, I was a kid, lightskin, that never fit in during school, and your bands music helped me a lot. Thanks man, I’m sorry you had such tragedies.🖤

I had the opportunity to meet Linkin Park years ago and remember meeting Chester. We talked a bit and I just thought he seemed so sad. All I wanted to do was hug him. He was a wounded soul that never found peace. Rest in peace, man.
He was so influential and articulate about how one can struggle in life because of having no support in childhood. An, unfortuantly, all too common experience. Trauma is a killer. If its not sudden and violent its a slow ticking clock of the body breaking down. If you are in the spiral find help. Don't stop finding help. You deserve peace love and support. Sending love brothers and sisters.
When you feel you're alone Cut off from this cruel world Your instincts telling you to run Listen to your heart Those angel voices They'll see to you They'll be your guide Back home where life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind It keeps us kind
Now that song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day - I got one for you - Mama always told me don't you run , Don't you run with scissors, son , You're gonna hurt someone Mama told me look before you leap ,Always think before you speak, and watch the friends you keep Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said Sharp edges have consequences I guess that I had to find out for myself

Rest In Peace Chester. You played a big role in my life and my love for music. i remember waking up at 5 AM in 2007-2012 just to go on mtv or vh1 to see his music videos or something new i may like. A friend and i used to always talk about his music, everyday we talked about the same songs over and over and how much we liked his music and i’ll even go home by her just to sit down and watch music videos. But me being a kid i never really understood his music in a deeper way. Similar situation with JuiceWRLD ( RIP ) I never took his songs that seriously until he passed away and i realized how messed up he really was. while i’m typing this message i’m having childhood flashbacks. Damn. life is to short y’all please enjoy it
"I've become so numb" These lyrics make a lot more sense now, even if he didn't write them, he lives through them. I'll never listen to Linkin Park in the same way.... more respect now.
I grew up with them and still have phases were I need ( not want BUT NEED) their music. It still helps, I think it will never stop helping. What makes it so damn unbelievable that he is gone.
He will never be forgotten not because he past on my birthday but he will be remembered for his amazing influence and all the great things he gave the world thank you Chester ❤
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
Losing Chester was poignant because he screamed out to the sky all of the raw emotion that is depression - most of us cant find any words to utter, because you feel hollow when it's manageble and akin to drowning when its not, He gave a voice to people who needed it when they felt broken because screaming along with him helped you to feel like you genuinely were not alone in the lonely fight. Big love to anybody reading this who is struggling. RIP Chester.
I miss Chester. I'll never forget him. Through the music of Linkin Park I addressed a lot of my own feelings of not being good enough. RIP Chester. You are a legend ❤
I see a ton of people saying he was the only celebrity death that affected them. Same goes for me. Still feels horrible to this day. I think it's because his voice and the songs resonates so much with us and he was forthcoming about his life. We turn to him and Linkin Park for comfort.
Chester.. the definition of HIGH-FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION 😢😢😢😢😢😢 he works & being productive as a depressed person 😢😢 7 years later....every time his songs playing on the radio😢 it brings me back to his suicide😢😢sadness😢😢 R.I.P. CHESTER BENNINGTON
I seen Linkin Park before Chester took his life. I am thankfull for that. Having bipolar, borderline personality disorder, PTSD, generalised anxiety disorder and a host of physical problems, I know how cruel life can be and feel. Chester's music help me as a teen into my adult life. RIP Chester, thnk you for everything ❤
Same here. ADHD, OCD, major recurring depression, PTSD, and chronic pain and a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue which is all over the entire body. And I was really a bullshit hand in life, but LP spoke exactly how I felt as a preteen and throughout teem years and into adulthood. It's like I could've written the songs myself at times. His death hit me HARD and still hurts. Always remembered. RIP.
@@Lorelaiv9 well spoken my friend. LP helped me through my preteens right up to adulthood as well. The songs were like the story of my life. The news of Chesters passing also hit me so hard and still affects me to this day and will for the rest of my days. RIP to a true legend. Remebered, loved and dearly missed ❤
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
It's so sad that he went through such a rough childhood. I was fortunate enough to see LP in concert a year before his passing. It was hands down the BEST live show I have ever seen.
I remember when someone suggested to me to buy the "Hybrid theory" album by Linkin Park. I didn't know them at the time and let me tell you that was the most amazing purchase I have ever done. I automatically fell in love with Linkin Park's music. I identified myself through their lyrics. It was getting all my rage out while soothing me at the same time. Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit helped me to go through the darkest time of my life. I will forever be grateful towards them. Thank you Linkin Park for helping me through life and making me a better person. You are terribly missed Chester Bennington 😥😥😥 May God bless your soul. RIP Chester 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
His life however tragic definitely was not in vain. I live in the Bahamas and Linkin Park took my mind by storm in my teen years. Their reach is global. R.I.P Chester. One of the best to do it❤
So many young people going through this same type of darkness. I pray to God they can be reached and helped before it is too late. RIP Chester B. We care that your light went out...... 💔
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
@@coreystack5655You must be new to the harmful things the government has been doing to the human race for years and years. Why come here to be a dick for no reason? Grow up, kid.
It still hurts to know he's gone. Still feels like he was telling us the whole time the pain he was in, and we never really got it until it was too late.
Can't believe it's been that long since Chester passed away 😢 This was a great video of him and I feel bad for his past! He's in a much better place now.
🎶”and when you need a friend there’s a seat here along side me”🎶 For everyone affected by Chester, he will always be with you. Thanks for everything.✌🏼&❤️
I miss you. I know you don't know me. But I felt the pain you let bleed into your lyrics. I will always honor you legacy, Chester. Thank you for helping to save me.
He reached me with his music and pain. I felt his art and raised my daughter listening to it. When he died, she cried. I stiff feel him.. I still lean on his music for my strength to battle my own demons and take on the world. Great artists of any type, (music, comedy, painting etc) hold so much pain. They can only feel some relief through the release into their art, but it is fleeting. Sadly, eventually, it is not enough to save them.
I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I read this. I did a ugly cry. Chester helped me so much since I first heard Linkin Park when I was like 7-8
I remember driving to work when i heard the news...I was a new commander of a military unit at that time. This sparked a conversation with my crew about mental health. It really saddened me, as I gained strength through his music.
i grew up on linkin park so when he died that really shocked alot of us, LP's sound was iconic, the music they made will live down for centuries, despite all of his hardships he really made an impact on the world & i know his family still mourns his death
I was never that big a fan of Linkin Park, I liked a few of their songs (Session, Faint, Breaking the Habit, Bleed It Out, Nobody's Listening). I was more of a Deftones and Incubus guy around that time. But I remember how big they were when I was in middle and high school and a lot of my friends at the time loved them. I remember being at work and when the news of his death broke, and even though I wasn't big fan I remember feeling bad about it. It felt like the ultimate closing of the book of an era that by 2017 was already long apparent. Rock had fallen out of favor in the mainstream, bands of the 00s era were going into a more pop oriented direction to stay relevant. Being a kid/teen of that era of rock music it just felt like a blow. And even though Linkin Park's music dealt with subjects of depression, etc. it still felt out of nowhere hearing about his death.
I bought their first album when no one in my country has heard of them. I put the CD in my walk man, plugged in and I was hit so hard by his voice and I fell in love in Linkin Park Immediately . I started introduced their songs to every one in my school. And people started buying their album. Now seeing Chester gone, it hit me very hard as well. Thank you for the wonderful teenage times that your song has accompanied me. RIP Chester
It's crazy how a music can send a deep message, but also help people at the same time. LP helped me get through hard times. Thank you LP, Thank you Chester, may your mind and soul rest in peace.
Chester's death really hit me hard been a LP fan since forever since then I can't even listen to certain live version's of their songs without wanting to cry...
It’s been six years now, and only in the last 3 weeks of writing this comment was I able to listen to Linkin Park without crying. I probably survived bc of Chester and his lyrics. I’ve tried a few times, none were successful because obviously I am here writing this comment. I remember thinking it was a prank at first, waiting for Chester to tweet that it was a prank and he was still alive like he’s done before. The tweet never came. My heart still races every time I think about that moment. Fuck, I only saw him once with Stone Temple Pilots and he had such an energy about him. I miss him, so much. I listen to one more light when I’m suicidal and it reminds me to keep going.
Chester's words have been healing to many and boy how a lot of our youth today could benefit from Chester's words. I'm asking college professors to please implement Chester Bennington's words into their curriculum and for students to request it from the colleges they attend. I ask this from non-students as well. I'm sure Chester would thank you for it. May his words live on.
In 16 days it will be 6 years since we lost a man who saved millions of us and unfortunately we couldn't save him. Our group will all be wearing our one more light t shirts and singing one more light in Chesters memory. Who cares if one more light goes out ? WE DO
I generally don’t follow celebrities or view their lives as personal to me in any way, but Chester’s death hit me really hard. Linkin park was the first band I truly loved. Their songs were amazingly emotional, encompassing all the teenage angst and frustration without the profanity. By far, they are the best band in history, and Chester was the face of this band. His talents are truly missed.
The last clip i seen of him was when he jumped off stage to sing with a disabled girl in a wheelchair. He crouched down and held her hand and sung with her. You could feel the genuine love from him to her. The girl will remember that forevermore. Just a small jesture from him but it gave me a climpse to what he was like. We defo lost a good one. R.I.P. Chester.🙏
His songs helped me understand Im not so alone. I was struggling myself for a lot of years, and even at my darkest times, I would have his songs playing, and after I listened to his voice I ketp pushing forward and I will always love this band
My mom's a Linkin park fan since 2002, I grew up with Linkin park and I was 10 y/o when Chester passed away and somehow linking park was a reason to learn English all by myself (my first language is Spanish)and not to pay attention to the bad things in my head with songs like somewhere I belong or breaking the habit these are very special to me :") I know no one asked or cares but meh
Chris Cornell's death hit me hard, because I grew up listening to his music. Seeing Chester suffer partly because of that, gave me a lot of respect for him. Too many good people are lost.
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
Wow i had no idea Chester went through so much darkness in his life, i mean i thought it was the typical drug addicted rock star story, but being SA from 7 to 13, being recruited to LP and feeling so alienated from the rest of the band, like a loner in the biggest band at the time. To leave 6 kids behind makes me sad, Rest Easy Chester.
Chester Bennington is my idol. I wish I had the chance to meet him; as a multi-instrumentalist and aspiring singer, it pains me every single day that we lost someone so incredibly talented. I'll forever miss him, and I'll forever wish I got to meet him. Rest easy, man.
I was a mixed Native (mom) black (father) military raised child. Going through abuse from my father, my mother would play Nickelback, Metallica and Linkin Park to get herself amped to push on and move through with saving my brothers and I from that pain.. I grew up on those 3, especially Linkin Park. I was/am soo desiring that emotional break through like how Chester Did. I am 29 now, still with that fire and drive he's shared with my youth. I still want to be a Rockstar, but more of the freeing myself from those demons, as he was boldly expressing through his Vocal skills and lyrical genius.
Chester has had such an incredible impact on this world not only through his music but through his own personal life. My mother grew up in Phoenix and went to school with Chester for a short time as he would constantly switch to different schools in the valley. He was apart of one of my mom’s close friends groups at school back then and had even prompted that her and my father should be together. So in “theory”, my three brothers and I would not be here if Chester had not pushed my mom to be with my dad all those years ago. Rest in paradise Chester
Chester's voice screams the pain locked in my soul. Always has always will. Untill i learn to voice and shout my own pain. Chester is my super hero. The pain and scars in our soul are our shared nemesis.
There is a rumor that him and his friend Chris Cornell (also commit a “suicide”) were working on a documentary about sex trafficking especially about childrens, the rumor say they got “suicide” because if that documentary would have been released the message would have been probably heard and seen by the entire world, but we all know how it works, if someone can ruin a $$$$ “criminal business” they need to take care of “the problem” which make this rumor maybe true 🤷🏼♂️ RIP Chester
R.I.P Miss you everyday Chester, you are the reason I am still here, and I guarantee that there are many many people who can say the same. You made a difference in your 41 years, thank you!
You could tell from his lyrics that he had a lot of haunting issues deep inside... sad that couldn't get help to resolve some of that stuff. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair but you've got connect with your maker to see the purpose of your life.... and it still isn't easy.
RIP Chester ❤️ thank you for sharing your soul with us through you voice , though music, I’ll never forget you, you were apart of my teenage years and helped me get through my days. You won’t be forgotten ❤️
☝🏿 love you Chester, this one hurts because it absolutely needs to be be stated, but is painful to consume. As a recovering alcoholic myself his story is a very amiable to me and others. Shout out to Yassine for delivering.
I lost my brother last year to suicide. He was also 41 and suffered from substance abuse, depression, and did a ton of acid, drank in his younger years. He eventually got tired and shot a whole gram of fent. It was a month that he stayed in those woods he laid down in before anyone found him. I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop you like I did all those countless times, Jer. I miss you, bro. RIP Jeremy Robinson & Chester Bennington
I'll never forget the day I found out. My mom told me about it and I didn't believe it. I thought she'd fallen victim for a clickbait article online. Not long before I saw one about the death of Rowan Atkinson (best known as Mr. Bean). So I looked up Chester and it felt like everything went in slow motion as I saw the headlines about his death. I closed myself off from friends and family until they pulled me out from it. I later learned my mother planned to get tickets to a LP show as they were playing in our city as a late birthday gift. I will always be a fan. Loved their music since 2006 and will continue to for as long as I live.
As a horrible traumatic childhood this man became a psychopath through his music and saves lives everyday and I thank him for mine a true inspiration love is the answer thank you Chester you're still with us 🕊️
Chester was one amazing soul. Idfc what he did. He cared more about everyone else on this earth than he did himself. RIP Chester. I fucking love you and wish you were still here❤️🫶
A LOT of vets grew up in our early adult yrs in the military loving his music. LP and Chris Cornell's music personally helped me thru some dark shit in my life. We lost 2 tremendous talents and such bright individuals that year in CC and CB. I often wonder if things would have turned out differently had they known how many lives they touched with their music alone,l; or had I known them personally, if I would've been able to help them. Heaven gained 2 angels when they passed!

I’m a film student and one of my dreams has been to make a film about Chester’s life. Linkin Park raised me
Go for it bro i love doc style videos and shi similar
Who would you want to play Chester if you were able to start making it today?
You should get Jamie Bennington his oldest son to play him.
How old are you? Just curious cuz I’m 36 and I feel like this was my generation
Documentary, yes. Actual film? God no
As a former depressed teenager, Chester's voice literally dragged me through the difficult times. I literally owe him my life.
i owe him the same, sad we cant save him. . .
Please just remember no matter how bad things get nothing bad lasts forever and there’s always help you just have to find it . 😊💞
Same
How did you get better if I may ask, I've lost myself and depression has taken over my whole life, every day I don't know if I can wake up
Wouldn't say he dragged me through difficult times. Did that by myself.
But his singing & songs had been very inspirational and beautiful.
A man who did what no one else did or with the same depth.
The brightest candles, burn out the fastest. RIP Chester. You are a legend.
Can believe it’s going to be 6 years in 18 days - REST Easy Chester - you are missed

The celebrity can outveto their security it probably meant a lot to him to meet even the most normal fan because he was an entertaining. I imagine he didn’t want you to go home without giving you an awesome story to tell your friends.

@@cosmicabyss7358 Exactly, I agree with everything you said! Chester felt pressure from fans over the One More Light album, from what I read he was constantly upset and sad about it, he definitely felt completely alone again, without any support from fans or anyone else. He should have taken a long vacation 😔 poor sensitive man with a tortured mind
I can't believe it's been 6 years since we lost Chester. I, like millions, was hit so hard when he passed, to me it was like losing a family member. I truely hope you found your peace Chester. R.I.P.
They killed him and his friend for making a certain documentary
what@@stoptrudeau42
@@stoptrudeau42 Does the narrative of him being killed, sit better with you then him taking his own life, due to his depression?
I’ve never met Chester, nor know him.
But this loss felt very personal to me, like i lost someone close to me. It’s insane
Same. I never knew my father but in some weird way Chester filled that role
I felt the same exact way when Taylor Hawkins died. I was crying so much for months on end. Was a huge fan growing up, I have all their CDs, I have seen them live, listen to them all the time, and I'm even seeing them at Asbury Park in September. This is gonna be my first time seeing them since Taylor passed. Last time I was able to see them was 5 years ago.
I feel the same. I grew up with his music is voice was so unique and angelic. I can’t even listen to certain songs because I cry for his soul he definitely left too soon and it greatly impacted our lives of his loss😢💔RIP Chester, always remembered and never forgotten….
I felt the same way
Same with both me and my husband. He just had something that I cannot put into words, that made him feel like a regular dude and we all knew him personally... The real him.
Bullying & SA are things so many kids suffer in silence. We need mental health in this country. Kids need to feel safe. Chester was such a talented man. The world really lost a gem.
I can’t love this comment more ❤❤😢😢
Lmao women
brother not only ur country or something the world is gonna be full of psychopaths and sociopaths will be filled with time
Same with autistic people
two of the hardest hitting quotes about Chester I've heard;
"He saved millions, but millions couldn't save one"
"He can scream like the devil, but sing like an angel"
RIP Chester....
😢 way true about his singing. I meet his 2nd wife when she was depressed and dieing of Cancer.
HAHAHAHAHHAHA
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
I was planning to see him at CT. Casino n then he was gone.
Chester , Avici, Anthony Bordain and one more musician that is dead were making a child trafficking documentary called "The Silent Children" they were all dead before it could be finished.
Im only 12, and have been listening to Linkin Park since I could process what music was. My dad loved Linkin Park, which then carried down to me. Even at 6 years old, I was devastated to hear that Chester died. Another 6 years and I’m still here, listening to his music and watching documentaries like this. He inspired me, with his inspirational lyrics and his fun, kind personality. You could have never guessed this man was so hurt. He didn’t know me, but I sure knew him, because this man changed my life. RIP Chester Bennington, he screamed like a demon, sang like an angel, fought his inner self like a warrior. 1976-2017❤️🕊️
Well said young bro! I can tell by your writing your a really smart kid stay blessed and safe out there!
@@doomoverlordx8619 you too, thank you brother🙏

Chester’s voice had a kindness and vulnerability that everyone fell in love with and that matched his personality. Losing him felt like losing someone close.
I was 34 y/o when I bought Hybrid Theory...pregnant & dumped, I already had 3 kids & felt so alone post 9/11. Linkin Park, the Gorillaz & the radio helped me paint the interior of my large apt. Sleepless nights...getting ready for a baby while acting as if everything was fine. I identified with Chester's vocals, lyrics & pain. I didn't know it then, but we had similar childhoods. His passing struck hard, still. Rest in paradise ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

He saved my life too. Many times. It was soul crushing when he went away. Still is. LP, the greatest band EVER. We miss you, Chester.
This is exactly why people like Chester should not be celebrated. We should do our best to forget everything they ever did. A story of giving up and quitting.
@@adammtroutman I understand your thought process here, I really do. I feel the same way about suicide, but, this one I feel. Have you ever been suicidal? Honest question, not trying to offend. I have, and some people just can’t do it anymore. They don’t want to die, they just can no longer survive the pain. Same as a terminal cancer patient who just can’t live through the physical pain another day. It’s just a different kind of pain, but every bit as deadly.
Amen....
@stevo6891 Facts!!!!! Stay strong, my friend! 🙏♥️
@stevo6891 Thank you!!!
as someone with suicidal toughts I always think about Chester, how he didn't make it, and how I should carry on for his sake. His music helped me through the rough times, ending my life would be an insult to his memory.
He wasnt suicidal none of his family said he was
He was killed .
Try to be positive man. I was like that and even on antidepressants. I'd encourage you (not kidding) to look into the life of Jesus. God is the source of goodness and love. You have a purpose, are loved and God has a plan for you.
chester was the first celebrity death that actually hit me really hard emotionally, i felt terrible for days after i heard the news. still kind of do. RIP to a legend.
Linkin Park saved my life Chester’s voice felt so relatable at the worst times of my life.
I think it’s begun to make more sense. Chester like myself also suffered CPTSD. It makes sense as to why the lyrics were so relatable as well.
Songs like Papercut, From the Inside, Somewhere I Belong and Crawling. Was literally like listening to someone tell me they understand how I feel. Was crazy when I first heard them. Sure I’ll never hear a new track from Linkin Park. But these songs are like memories I will always treasure that I can playback any time.
Rest in peace Chester.
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
I cry when I play his music and mad we lost a great artist with such a soul and he's the best...now u got these people with foul music!
that makes sense- I deal with cPTSD as well. Also like Chester- DM has been an inspiration (if it wasn't obvious already from my profile icon)
And he'd asked Mike why he always wrote sad music (allegedly) imagine how hard it was singing all that depressing stuff after going through what he did. Post Traumatic comes off more opportunistic now rather than genuine.
Speaking of new tracks, you have at least heard "Lost" and "Fighting Myself", right? Just want to make sure, because hearing those after so many years was a revelation!
Usually celebrity deaths don't have any effect on me but Chester's death hits me really hard. I went into the darkest moment in my life for around a month when I heard the news. At the time of his death, I just became a fan of Linkin Park for 4 years. R.I.P. Chester, you'll forever be missed.

I’ve never felt such sadness from the death of a celebrity as I was when Chester and X died. I still get chills and feel my heart drop sometimes when their songs are played around me.
Me either I was so depressed and I didn’t even know him personally I even got on anti depressants and anxiety medication for it. It was weird cuz i have never gotten like that over someone famous passing away like I wouldn’t even leave my house it was weird
@@sabrinalopez9647 we didn’t know him personally but we grew up listening and relating to him and his music. With me personally, someone who felt lost and dealt with emotional issues everyone feels growing up, I felt heard and not alone when I heard his music. So I don’t think it’s strange at all that his death effected you in that way.
@@Oxcymoron thank you
When you say “X,” are you referring to DMX or that awful, woman beating rapper, “Xxxtencion” or however the fuck it’s spelled?
@sabrinalopez9647 I was the same way when Taylor Hawkins died last year. I wouldn't stop crying. It hurt me to even listen to my favorite band for a while. Their new album made me cry first time listening to it. I'm seeing them in September in NJ and Idk how I'm gonna see them without crying.
My man went through so much. Such an incredibly talented artist we lost. Never forgetting you Chester. You'll forever be in my heart.
He was the only person who helped me through the stuff I was going through he has saved lives 😢
The only death of a person I don't know that made me cry. I don't know what would be of me without the inspiration he gave me throughout my childhood and adolescence. I wish he had realized that despite his scars, he healed millions of people.

Love you Chester, I was a kid, lightskin, that never fit in during school, and your bands music helped me a lot. Thanks man, I’m sorry you had such tragedies.🖤

I can understand how I felt and experienced the same. I attracted a lot of jealousy and hatred and still do.
I had the opportunity to meet Linkin Park years ago and remember meeting Chester. We talked a bit and I just thought he seemed so sad. All I wanted to do was hug him. He was a wounded soul that never found peace. Rest in peace, man.
He was so influential and articulate about how one can struggle in life because of having no support in childhood. An, unfortuantly, all too common experience. Trauma is a killer. If its not sudden and violent its a slow ticking clock of the body breaking down. If you are in the spiral find help. Don't stop finding help. You deserve peace love and support. Sending love brothers and sisters.

Rest In Peace Chester. You played a big role in my life and my love for music. i remember waking up at 5 AM in 2007-2012 just to go on mtv or vh1 to see his music videos or something new i may like. A friend and i used to always talk about his music, everyday we talked about the same songs over and over and how much we liked his music and i’ll even go home by her just to sit down and watch music videos. But me being a kid i never really understood his music in a deeper way. Similar situation with JuiceWRLD ( RIP ) I never took his songs that seriously until he passed away and i realized how messed up he really was.
while i’m typing this message i’m having childhood flashbacks. Damn. life is to short y’all please enjoy it

It still helps, I think it will never stop helping.
What makes it so damn unbelievable that he is gone.
He will never be forgotten not because he past on my birthday but he will be remembered for his amazing influence and all the great things he gave the world thank you Chester ❤

That’s also Chris Cornell’s birthday 😊
Losing Chester was poignant because he screamed out to the sky all of the raw emotion that is depression - most of us cant find any words to utter, because you feel hollow when it's manageble and akin to drowning when its not, He gave a voice to people who needed it when they felt broken because screaming along with him helped you to feel like you genuinely were not alone in the lonely fight.
Big love to anybody reading this who is struggling. RIP Chester.

I see a ton of people saying he was the only celebrity death that affected them. Same goes for me. Still feels horrible to this day. I think it's because his voice and the songs resonates so much with us and he was forthcoming about his life. We turn to him and Linkin Park for comfort.

Chester's music help me as a teen into my adult life. RIP Chester, thnk you for everything ❤
Same here. ADHD, OCD, major recurring depression, PTSD, and chronic pain and a genetic disorder that affects connective tissue which is all over the entire body. And I was really a bullshit hand in life, but LP spoke exactly how I felt as a preteen and throughout teem years and into adulthood. It's like I could've written the songs myself at times. His death hit me HARD and still hurts. Always remembered. RIP.

Rip Chester. Your sorely missed like one of my own. You kept me sane and still bring a tear to my eye. Such a tragic loss
I remember when someone suggested to me to buy the "Hybrid theory" album by Linkin Park. I didn't know them at the time and let me tell you that was the most amazing purchase I have ever done. I automatically fell in love with Linkin Park's music. I identified myself through their lyrics. It was getting all my rage out while soothing me at the same time. Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit helped me to go through the darkest time of my life. I will forever be grateful towards them.

He reached me with his music and pain. I felt his art and raised my daughter listening to it. When he died, she cried. I stiff feel him.. I still lean on his music for my strength to battle my own demons and take on the world. Great artists of any type, (music, comedy, painting etc) hold so much pain. They can only feel some relief through the release into their art, but it is fleeting. Sadly, eventually, it is not enough to save them.

I remember driving to work when i heard the news...I was a new commander of a military unit at that time. This sparked a conversation with my crew about mental health. It really saddened me, as I gained strength through his music.
They saved my life.. it's so hard to go on when my idol gave up.. I understand his desicion, which is even more sad..💔
i grew up on linkin park so when he died that really shocked alot of us, LP's sound was iconic, the music they made will live down for centuries, despite all of his hardships he really made an impact on the world & i know his family still mourns his death
Chester got me through my darkest times. Sadly one can save a million but a million can't save one. R.I.P Chester losing you is devastating
I was never that big a fan of Linkin Park, I liked a few of their songs (Session, Faint, Breaking the Habit, Bleed It Out, Nobody's Listening). I was more of a Deftones and Incubus guy around that time.
But I remember how big they were when I was in middle and high school and a lot of my friends at the time loved them. I remember being at work and when the news of his death broke, and even though I wasn't big fan I remember feeling bad about it. It felt like the ultimate closing of the book of an era that by 2017 was already long apparent. Rock had fallen out of favor in the mainstream, bands of the 00s era were going into a more pop oriented direction to stay relevant.
Being a kid/teen of that era of rock music it just felt like a blow. And even though Linkin Park's music dealt with subjects of depression, etc. it still felt out of nowhere hearing about his death.
I bought their first album when no one in my country has heard of them.
I put the CD in my walk man, plugged in and I was hit so hard by his voice and I fell in love in Linkin Park Immediately .
I started introduced their songs to every one in my school.
And people started buying their album.
Now seeing Chester gone, it hit me very hard as well.
Thank you for the wonderful teenage times that your song has accompanied me.
RIP Chester
I’m a 53yrold fan! Chester healed my soul; sang for my soul and saved my life! Chester will always be my favorite

Chester's death really hit me hard been a LP fan since forever since then I can't even listen to certain live version's of their songs without wanting to cry...
Bruh. I couldn't listen to any LP song for months cause I kept tearing up. LP played a huge part of my teenage years. Continue to RIP Chester B🙏🏼
Same! I thought I would never listen to them again but now my little girl of only 4 months actually enjoys LP more than nursery songs 😊
It’s been six years now, and only in the last 3 weeks of writing this comment was I able to listen to Linkin Park without crying. I probably survived bc of Chester and his lyrics. I’ve tried a few times, none were successful because obviously I am here writing this comment. I remember thinking it was a prank at first, waiting for Chester to tweet that it was a prank and he was still alive like he’s done before. The tweet never came. My heart still races every time I think about that moment. Fuck, I only saw him once with Stone Temple Pilots and he had such an energy about him. I miss him, so much. I listen to one more light when I’m suicidal and it reminds me to keep going.
Chester's words have been healing to many and boy how a lot of our youth today could benefit from Chester's words. I'm asking college professors to please implement Chester Bennington's words into their curriculum and for students to request it from the colleges they attend. I ask this from non-students as well. I'm sure Chester would thank you for it. May his words live on.
We love and miss you Chester! Im sorry you went through so much pain. Rest easy 😢❤
In 16 days it will be 6 years since we lost a man who saved millions of us and unfortunately we couldn't save him. Our group will all be wearing our one more light t shirts and singing one more light in Chesters memory. Who cares if one more light goes out ? WE DO

Chester lives in my heart always. His raw emotional vocals are phenomenal and i miss him. But he will live on through his amazing vocals ❤
I generally don’t follow celebrities or view their lives as personal to me in any way, but Chester’s death hit me really hard. Linkin park was the first band I truly loved. Their songs were amazingly emotional, encompassing all the teenage angst and frustration without the profanity. By far, they are the best band in history, and Chester was the face of this band. His talents are truly missed.
Thank you for this one, Linkin Park was a huge part of my life, i knew he had it rough but never realized how rough

The last clip i seen of him was when he jumped off stage to sing with a disabled girl in a wheelchair. He crouched down and held her hand and sung with her. You could feel the genuine love from him to her. The girl will remember that forevermore. Just a small jesture from him but it gave me a climpse to what he was like. We defo lost a good one. R.I.P. Chester.🙏
His songs helped me understand Im not so alone. I was struggling myself for a lot of years, and even at my darkest times, I would have his songs playing, and after I listened to his voice I ketp pushing forward and I will always love this band
My mom's a Linkin park fan since 2002, I grew up with Linkin park and I was 10 y/o when Chester passed away and somehow linking park was a reason to learn English all by myself (my first language is Spanish)and not to pay attention to the bad things in my head with songs like somewhere I belong or breaking the habit these are very special to me :")
I know no one asked or cares but meh
Good for you. 🐝

Wow i had no idea Chester went through so much darkness in his life, i mean i thought it was the typical drug addicted rock star story, but being SA from 7 to 13, being recruited to LP and feeling so alienated from the rest of the band, like a loner in the biggest band at the time. To leave 6 kids behind makes me sad, Rest Easy Chester.
Chester Bennington is my idol. I wish I had the chance to meet him; as a multi-instrumentalist and aspiring singer, it pains me every single day that we lost someone so incredibly talented. I'll forever miss him, and I'll forever wish I got to meet him. Rest easy, man.
Chester probably saved thousands of lives with his music.
Gone but never forgotten, we miss you Chester
“Self termination” thats the nicest way to describe suicide.
I was a mixed Native (mom) black (father) military raised child. Going through abuse from my father, my mother would play Nickelback, Metallica and Linkin Park to get herself amped to push on and move through with saving my brothers and I from that pain..
I grew up on those 3, especially Linkin Park. I was/am soo desiring that emotional break through like how Chester Did. I am 29 now, still with that fire and drive he's shared with my youth. I still want to be a Rockstar, but more of the freeing myself from those demons, as he was boldly expressing through his Vocal skills and lyrical genius.
He ain't dead. I listen to him all the time.
Chester has had such an incredible impact on this world not only through his music but through his own personal life. My mother grew up in Phoenix and went to school with Chester for a short time as he would constantly switch to different schools in the valley. He was apart of one of my mom’s close friends groups at school back then and had even prompted that her and my father should be together. So in “theory”, my three brothers and I would not be here if Chester had not pushed my mom to be with my dad all those years ago. Rest in paradise Chester
Chester's voice screams the pain locked in my soul.
Always has always will.
Untill i learn to voice and shout my own pain.
Chester is my super hero.
The pain and scars in our soul are our shared nemesis.
Vocals he layed on Young Bucks
*"Slow Your Roll"* simply phenomenal.
Rest in heaven to one of best voices of all time🤞🏾
I painted Chesters portrait and Blackbear brought it a few months ago. Chester was a huge part of my life and will be forever
There is a rumor that him and his friend Chris Cornell (also commit a “suicide”) were working on a documentary about sex trafficking especially about childrens, the rumor say they got “suicide” because if that documentary would have been released the message would have been probably heard and seen by the entire world, but we all know how it works, if someone can ruin a $$$$ “criminal business” they need to take care of “the problem” which make this rumor maybe true 🤷🏼♂️ RIP Chester

☝🏿 love you Chester, this one hurts because it absolutely needs to be be stated, but is painful to consume. As a recovering alcoholic myself his story is a very amiable to me and others.
Shout out to Yassine for delivering.
Chester didn't kill himself.
Chris didn't kill himself. Look it up
I lost my brother last year to suicide. He was also 41 and suffered from substance abuse, depression, and did a ton of acid, drank in his younger years. He eventually got tired and shot a whole gram of fent. It was a month that he stayed in those woods he laid down in before anyone found him. I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop you like I did all those countless times, Jer. I miss you, bro.
RIP Jeremy Robinson & Chester Bennington
I still shed tears when I watch their music videos.😢 One of my favorite front men..Gone too soon.
I'll never forget the day I found out. My mom told me about it and I didn't believe it. I thought she'd fallen victim for a clickbait article online. Not long before I saw one about the death of Rowan Atkinson (best known as Mr. Bean). So I looked up Chester and it felt like everything went in slow motion as I saw the headlines about his death. I closed myself off from friends and family until they pulled me out from it. I later learned my mother planned to get tickets to a LP show as they were playing in our city as a late birthday gift. I will always be a fan. Loved their music since 2006 and will continue to for as long as I live.
As a horrible traumatic childhood this man became a psychopath through his music and saves lives everyday and I thank him for mine a true inspiration love is the answer thank you Chester you're still with us 🕊️
Chester was one amazing soul. Idfc what he did. He cared more about everyone else on this earth than he did himself. RIP Chester. I fucking love you and wish you were still here❤️🫶
A LOT of vets grew up in our early adult yrs in the military loving his music. LP and Chris Cornell's music personally helped me thru some dark shit in my life. We lost 2 tremendous talents and such bright individuals that year in CC and CB. I often wonder if things would have turned out differently had they known how many lives they touched with their music alone,l; or had I known them personally, if I would've been able to help them. Heaven gained 2 angels when they passed!
He was Podesta's illegitimate son, and that he was murdered by the illuminati because he was fighting against child sex trafficking. Same as Chris Cornell, Kate Spade, Robin Williams, Anne Haische, and God only knows how many others.
