Chris took his life and later Chester took his. The burden of Chester loosing his best friend really pushed him. You will have to see Linkin Park live on Jimmy Kimmel show singing “One More Light” where you see Chester’s emotion singing this song shortly after Chris’s passing. Very emotional. Thanks for reacting🙏🏼
I'm so stoked for this rabbit hole! R.I.P. Chester! Chester passed away by suicide, on Chris's birthday following his death. We lost two absolute legends due to Mental Health that year. It was rough for many of us. 😢
We lost them true but with Chesters death the stigma and apathy to those of us with mental illness! The shock that the world felt led to people being able to talk about it!
Hybrid Theory and Meteora are two Linkin Park albums that do not have a single bad song on them. They are masterpieces. Would love to see you react to more Linkin Park.
World was a better place with Chester in it❤one person saved millions but millions couldn’t save one person,RIP Chester, your music 🎶 and voice is always with us!
It's definitely an outcasts' anthem, however you want to define 'outcast'. This song stood out to me and always meant a lot because, even though I had a very positive relationship with my mom growing up. She was very supportive and loving in pretty much everything I did, and I was lucky for that, but I've always struggled to connect with my peers(mainly in school) so I was bullied a lot and didn't have many friends. It was cathartic to have music like this.
Listening to Linkin Park after his death is like looking into his soul and all his depression. The songs just feel like cries for help. One More Light is another soul gripping song and MV.
I'm wondering, if that gets skewed a bit by what happened. I'm sure he did put his soul into the songs, but we as humans also tend to put too much into some things in hindsight. The type of music genre that they made songs for are usually like this and speak out to many...or at least did when I was a teenager, but I am still not sure if that automatically means all the songs are personal cry outs as well.
I think what people really don't understand about having a lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety is the sheer rage that's built up in you. Everything is setting you off, and you're trying so hard to play nice because you know it's irrational, and you never let it out. You go numb.
Linkin Park was my go to "I'm feeling lost and don't want to feel" music, in that it made what I was feeling bareable. They saved me too. It broke my heart when he died. Chris didn't get me as much but it was still a great loss. I've never recovered.
Such a beautiful but also sad song. Every time Chester sang it came straight from his soul. His face showed it. Need to see and hear him do "Givin Up." Such a strong cry for help. R.I.P. Chester. You are deeply missed.
About time you get to Linkin Park my friend. RIP Chester you are sorely missed. Enjoy this rabbit hole it is a deep and full of great great songs. Most of this will be on your play list I am sure.
My parents bullied me into not going the artistic route of becoming an actress. I met success, played in large theater, did a lot of things in my big city. But this life of hustling and finding jobs after jobs because you can never have a stable income unless you're a superstar got me deeper in depression as I struggled to play bills during covid. Eventually I got a more normal job and I got plenty of time to still write, act and do everything I love in my spare time. In my new community I teach my art, play important and historical writings and get involved. My parents were wrong, being educated in art SAVED my life because if I had nothing but my part-time work I would have killed myself long ago. My talents got me to travel, to meet people, to work and feel valued as a person and value other people. Art is generosity and beauty. Numb was the anthem of my teenage years. I'm so happy you like it too.
Just as there will be those who don't like it when you talk, there will be many more who are here to hear what you have to say. Do what your heart tells you.
Chester said in an interview that he writes about the abuse he suffered (paraphrasing here). That's why I got attracted to their music since I had similar experiences.
Chester took his life on Chris Cornell's birthday. Chris had took his life a few weeks earlier. So sad that these two musical geniuses could not be saved. Definitely check out Linkin Park's performance on Jimmy Kimmel "One More Light." The emotion from Chester in that performance was heartbreaking 💜💜
Reading the lyrics of Linkin Park, I always felt that Chester experienced it all. It's too relatable for it to not be. Granted the rest of the band could easily feel that way probably going the route of 'I'm going to be in a rock band" and the parents wondering where they 'screwed' up raising their kids to "goto college".
Linkin Park was my son Jesse's favorite band...my son passed away 17 years ago and Chester Bennington and the rest of Linkin Park helped me through some really tough times. They are now my favorite band! Rip Chester you saved so many with your beautiful voice and I am one of them...Thank you ❤️
Audioslave, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog... Pearl Jam, Linking Park, Nirvana, Alice in Chains: Those bands were the anesthetic of my youth and a good part of my contemporaries in a time when listening to rock was considered a BIG problem. From La Habana, thank you.
❤ rip Chester ❤️ Linkin park & Soundgarden were amazing ❤️ What Chester went through as a child is just heartbreaking 💔 he was SA as a child, I work in this stuff & can feel his pain 😔🖤
This song 🎧 hits home for me, because I’ve been a Lone Wolf 🐺 all my life and I’m 55 yrs old yes, I get along with some people, but always feel like the outsider
You are not the outsider, they are the outsiders. I'm a few years older than you and know exactly what you are saying. I've bucked convention since day (according to my parents)😂Be true to yourself as only you can provide what you need from life
You hit the nail on the head. It’s the expectation for your child that your child doesn’t want. Strongest lyric, “ you’re just like me with someone being disappointed in you!”
I'd say everything from them is great. Some people like to shit on their later albums for not being like the early ones, but to me that's a perfectly valid path for an artist to go, to evolve. I like that their music was changing with them. I still miss Chester :')
Chester Bennington died on what would have been Cornell's 53rd birthday. Linkin Park songs have helped me in my life. Numb, Breaking The Habit, Leave Out All the Rest, Bleed It Out.
one more light - linkin park, will hit you in the feels. Grew up with Linkin Park, was always an escape for me. RIP Chester! Truly one of a kind talent.
I miss Chester and Chris more than words can say! They are both up there on my list of favorite artists of all time! There's a live video of Chris and Chester performing Chris's song Hunger Strike together! Definitely worth checking out! I've been reading a lot of conspiracy theories about Chris and Chester being murdered because they were very close to exposing something to do with child trafficking within the industry, but who knows if there's any truth to it....But with everything that's going down with diddy, it doesn't seem that far fetched! I 💯 believe there's some sick and twisted shit going down within the industry, and it definitely makes me question all of the other "overdoses", and "sui*ides" that have happened with other big artists! RIP to both of these amazing artists!! ❤
I think that's the beauty of this song. Most people can relate to the feeling, even if they can't admit it sometimes. It tunes in to your internal self. Great reaction ❤
I used to listen to Linkin park daily, since he passed its not been something I've really listened to. I suffer from bad mental health and listening to Linkin park and Chesters voice was always something that helped me. Now knowing he lost his life due to his mental health its sad to hear. R.I.P Chester, i wish we could have saved you look you saved so many.
I only really discover LP last few yrs and man his lyrics sound like a cry - I understand that cry. Thank God he ( God ) pulled me outta of that. He was an amazing talent. 😢 Love from lisa a lyme warrior 🦠💚🙏 prayers for those who struggle
Ur appreciation to the art has been having me come back since start of ur channel. Thank you. I cant get enough of people appreciating great tunes whatever the genre
I, too, went down the LP rabbit hole about a year ago. I was aware of songs played on the radio and enjoyed them but never really thought twice about them. As I got older, I listen more to the lyrics so hearing them now hits different then they did back then on the radio. So I started with the tribute to Chester concert (on YT) and went on from there. I discovered so many new favorites and can relate to alot of the lyrics. RIP Chester - gone too soon 💜
Linkin Park saved me through out my life! Sometimes music is so much stronger than words can express! I was blessed to see them 5x and including live in Texas (Houston) and to this day I still listen to them and hearing Chester’s voice brings a tear to my eyes. Please react to Lost, Crawling (acá pella), given up, breaking the habit, Heavy and One More light! You will hear the Beaty of Chester’s voice! The singer with 3 voices! Thank you Linkin Park! Thank you Pegasus for reacting!
The genius of this song is that you got goosebumps, just like everyone else got goosebumps. And all for different reasons. This song transcends everything. If you feel it then it applies. ❤
Personally when I look back and listen to these songs. I feel as if Chester was trying to tell us he was hurting. When you listen to his voice, you hear the pain. The lyrics as well tell you he's hurting. Thankful for his music and talent, saddened by the loss of such a great soul. R.I.P. Chester Bennington, and thank you for the music you shared with the World. Great reaction BP.
I still love this band. Some of my favorites are “Figure .09”, “Hit the Floor”, Papercut”, “Don’t Stay” and “One Step Closer”. That last one was channeling pure GenX anger and frustration. That and apathy were pretty much our default emotional range. If you dive into more of their music, you will not regret it.
There is a perfect song from Muse about the struggle you describe 10:22 - Muscle Museum, single from the first EP, I think you will really like it. Early Muse has some crazy good music. TSP was my ringtone for a long time.
Glad you had the strength and courage to go for your own goals. Hard sometimes to let go of one's own dreams for your kids when you've been responsible for them for so long, and seen so much potential in them... but it's a critical step. Parents, let your kids know you love them for them, not for what they do (even and esp if it's not the path you picked for them)... and read up on adhd, anxiety, and depression. They're real things that are super hard to recognize from the outside -- procrastinating, sleeping too much or too little or at odd times, getting "stuck" -- this isn't laziness. It'll help your relationship with your kid immensely.
when my dad left me, he left behind this huge binder full of cd's. and 2 cd albums were hybrid theory and meteora. and those songs i kept as a reminder: even though other ppl will give up on me, i must always remember to never give up on myself. and i felt like that was the message that linkin park was trying to get to me. rip chester 🕊️❤️🩹 and i appreciate your stories as well
My son recently shared with me that he was happy I found his Chester through Ren! Music is so healing🙌🏻 Glad you followed your dreams BP and found your way creating a beautiful life for yourself and family💝
Thank you for sharing your story. This song cuts to the very depth of my soul. I was a single Mom when this song came out, raising my teenage son on my own. His father had left us to, as he put it, "upgrade to a better life". He was in and out of our son's life, as it worked for him, never around to support him, but always having lots of criticisms about his life choices. My son played this song for me, it felt like it came from his life. We had a really good conversation about how he was feeling. We started to share music with each other, introducing the other to songs that were meaningful to us. This became our way to work through a very difficult period in our lives. We still share music with each other today, one of my favourite things to do.
I recommend you check out "Papercut" from Hybrid Theory, the album opener that leaves you craving more. "Lying from you" from Meteora is another standout track, and don't sleep on the most underrated song from the same album, "Figure.09". Every track on Hybrid Theory or Meteora is phenomenal; there's not a single weak one. And for a true display of Chester's vocal prowess, give "Given up" or "QWERTY" (Live from Summer Sonic Tokyo 2006) a listen - his performance there is simply mind-blowing. ❤
not a rap fan but my son loved Linkin Park and played them constantly. Once I paid attention I loved them. I still really only still like rap mixed with singing. The lyrics really spoke to him during the teenage/young adult years.
This is my favorite Linkin Park song! I remember listening to it when I was younger and pissed off at my mom. Then years later, I heard my daughter listening to this same song when she was upset with me! This song has bridged generations!
Linkin Park's live gig video in an underground station is one of my favourite performances.. Gives me MAAAD GOOSEBUMPS! Deffo worth a watch after this @blackpegasus
Tough song for me to hear. I deal with severe depression/anxiety and have had those bad thoughts quite a few times. Like Chester, my head is my own worst enemy and a bad street to be on. RIP Chester
You never get it wrong man whatever you take and relate to is so valid and true music is a way of expression and songs mean something different to everyone
I was fortunate enuf to see LP twice live. Once at Ozzfest circa 2000, and then again opened for Metallica at a day on the green at Candlestick Park in SF circa 2004. They were amazing both times. When I saw them at Ozzfest I didn't really know who they were - had only ever heard "Crawling" but was blow away by how good they were.
When you connect to a song, you connect to it. Every Linkin Park song has a message that someone is going to relate to in some form or fashion. *Talking To Myself* is written from the perspective of "ok I keep trying to talk to you to help (which is Chester or those of us that battle the mental blegh), but I feel like I'm not getting through and I'm talking to myself". People b!tched and moaned and grouched about the song Heavy, about the One More Light album being "not like Linkin Park at all" before Chester passed away, then they acted like they'd been hit with a clue when he passed, that is something that just grates on me. The One More Light Live concert/album has some beautiful versions of older songs, Crawling is heavy, faster paced....at the concert, it's something else entirely. There's an interview he did shortly before July 20th, 2017, and he is explaining some very heavy dark things, paraphrasing the space between his ears (his mental state) can become a bad neighborhood and the guy doing the interview starts laughing at one point (not an uncomfortable laugh), I stopped the video because I was just like WTAF.
I always admired Chester's singing ability, especially coupled with the way he was able to 'scream' the other lyrical parts. I'm sure that would've messed with his throat and affected his singing, but it still sounded great. When hybrid theory came out and everyone was talking about this band, I remember no one ever mentioning how great a singer Chester is, it was crazy to me looking back on it.
I love when you,re talking and telling your stories. This one got me emotional because I can relate so much. My parents are very traditional, and I dont mean it in a bad way. They just wanted me to do well, they wanted me to go to college and have a good job, marry, have kids. And I did everything opposite. So this song speaks so much to me. And your comments about it mean so much also. Thank you for sharing!
I had my dad read the lyrics to this song. I told him this is how I felt as a teenager. He now understands why we had all the fights. It has brought us closer.
One more Light live on Jimmy Kemmel (Chris Cornell tribute). Chester is so broken hearted. And Given Up is a very short song, but unbelievable. To hear him scream out to God & then that 17 second scream~man! Chester & Chris will forever be missed!
A place for my head live- the vocals, the crowd and energy... irreplaceable

Linkin Park has always been in my Tops. Nirvana. Foo Fighters. Incubus. Linking Park. He TOLD US he wanted OUT. It broke our hearts...but he was honest. the songs always have and will resonate. Raw. Honest> real! YES!
I love your interpretation of this song... Completely valid! For me, it was I did go to college, and university - I achieved academically... But didn't go into any normal industry... I was insistent on starting and running my own company, and I tried and failed 7 times!! and after the first it was all bullshit trying to get me to go into the family business or get a trade... This time around, I made it, I have 90 staff and we turnover £45M a year... Now they are proud of me... There has been lots of therapy to get over the worthless feelings from the past. But we move on, and we get stronger!
My legends from that time are Linkin Park and Eminem, both of whom have a special way of reaching people emotionally and telling real life things. And I love it when such singers not only manage to make me dance but also touch my soul with their voice or lyrics.
Speak your truth. My parents were like that too. I found my own path , but my parents never supported my choices until they saw my success. Then they were mad cuz I didn't welcome them back into my life now that they were proud of me. I made them earn their way back into my life. Wrong or not those were my terms, and they understood that. So B4 they passed we finally came together as a family and accepted what the journey was.
This can resonate with people in many different ways. For me, I married for the wrong reasons and was stuck with someone I could not be myself around. While I was in this misery, I would listen to this song while parked at a random park watching people play soccer while I was avoiding going home. "Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control? 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take". The chorus was my rallying point and helped me to finally step away from the relationship. "All I want to do, Is be more like me, And be less like you" Thanks Chester
To all who is struggling mentally, who lost hope, who tried and tried but failed...keep going. We owe it to the ones who couldnt carry on. Doesnt matter if no one cares, we owe it to ourselves, to our past, to our future.
Thank you for sharing your story❤ us parents just want the best for their children. We all parent different. I have an Architect and a realtor and they are both successful in what they do. I always supported them no matter what. 🥺
Chris took his life and later Chester took his. The burden of Chester loosing his best friend really pushed him. You will have to see Linkin Park live on Jimmy Kimmel show singing “One More Light” where you see Chester’s emotion singing this song shortly after Chris’s passing. Very emotional. Thanks for reacting🙏🏼
Agree. That version of One More Light is particularly heart wrenching for me to watch now, as it was one of the songs played at my mum's funeral
It's not the best "performance", but it's one of those rare real and true moments captured on film. Highly recommended.
@@Mrsockmonkie so... the best performance? check
2 months later
Chester took his life on Chris's birthday (July 20, I believe)
I'm so stoked for this rabbit hole! R.I.P. Chester! Chester passed away by suicide, on Chris's birthday following his death. We lost two absolute legends due to Mental Health that year. It was rough for many of us. 😢
I saw my precios Chester that YEAR, just a month before, my first time in a concert, i cried a entire month when the new came up
We lost them true but with Chesters death the stigma and apathy to those of us with mental illness! The shock that the world felt led to people being able to talk about it!
........both of them...? Nope. They were working on sumptin. Look up what lincoln park was in canada.
Hybrid Theory and Meteora are two Linkin Park albums that do not have a single bad song on them. They are masterpieces. Would love to see you react to more Linkin Park.
Agree. I used to play those two non stop at one point of my life. Really helped me to channel my emotions back then.
super solid 2 albums
World was a better place with Chester in it❤one person saved millions but millions couldn’t save one person,RIP Chester, your music 🎶 and voice is always with us!
World was better back then period
@@steelearmstrong9616 Amen to that.
He lives on with his music..! RIP Chester and Chris.
It's definitely an outcasts' anthem, however you want to define 'outcast'.

Listening to a song and hearing a song can be two very different things.
It's really sad that Chester's voice and words saved millions yet millions of voices couldn't save his..............
Most profound statement ever.
Damn man-all stay off drugs and seek help if depressed
It saved me-many times over
Linkin Park was my go to "I'm feeling lost and don't want to feel" music, in that it made what I was feeling bareable. They saved me too. It broke my heart when he died. Chris didn't get me as much but it was still a great loss. I've never recovered.
I do not know who said it but someone said Chester" Sings like an angel and screams like a demon". That is the best description I've personally heard.
Such a beautiful but also sad song. Every time Chester sang it came straight from his soul. His face showed it. Need to see and hear him do "Givin Up." Such a strong cry for help. R.I.P. Chester. You are deeply missed.
❤
THE SCREAM BEAST!!!!!!! Chester was so amazing and you can't go wrong with any of their music! Given Up song he screams for 17 seconds!
Highly recommend "Bleed It Out," which is one of my LP faves! 🙂❤
Yes 🙌🏻
About time you get to Linkin Park my friend. RIP Chester you are sorely missed. Enjoy this rabbit hole it is a deep and full of great great songs. Most of this will be on your play list I am sure.
Chester had the voice of an Angel! So sad that he couldn’t get peace.
My parents bullied me into not going the artistic route of becoming an actress. I met success, played in large theater, did a lot of things in my big city.

Chester was a talented man, every time now I hear Linkin Park song I remember Chester losing his life. Such a talent RIP Chester.
when yer yonger you hear the music,
when your older you understand it.

Don't worry about it hon, after 65 you move into don't give a crap land. It cuts through the smoke and mirrors nicely. 😊 RIP Chester and Chris. 🎉
There it is! My fav band
You hit the nail on the head. It’s the expectation for your child that your child doesn’t want. Strongest lyric, “ you’re just like me with someone being disappointed in you!”
Finally, the Linkin Park rabbit hole! Everything from Hybrid Theory, Meteora, and Minutes to Midnight is 🔥
Also Mike Shinoda is awesome rapper!
Facts especially in his Group Fort Minor.
I'd say everything from them is great. Some people like to shit on their later albums for not being like the early ones, but to me that's a perfectly valid path for an artist to go, to evolve. I like that their music was changing with them.

@@Mantosasto agreed 👍
RIP Chester and Chris. They both did the unthinkable in 2017. First Chris then Chester...... Took by those inside demons.
Crawling and One Step Closer by LINKIN Park is amazing. RIP Chester. You are missed.
One Step Closer was my anthem for a lot of years
@@lightsalt8530 mine too. When I am pissed off I start playing that song
❤️🔥🤘🏼❤️🔥. Chester passed after Chris. Both rest in peace

That and apathy were pretty much our default emotional range. If you dive into more of their music, you will not regret it.
Yep! One Step Closer was my anthem for quite a few years
There is a perfect song from Muse about the struggle you describe 10:22 - Muscle Museum, single from the first EP, I think you will really like it. Early Muse has some crazy good music. TSP was my ringtone for a long time.
Glad you had the strength and courage to go for your own goals. Hard sometimes to let go of one's own dreams for your kids when you've been responsible for them for so long, and seen so much potential in them... but it's a critical step. Parents, let your kids know you love them for them, not for what they do (even and esp if it's not the path you picked for them)... and read up on adhd, anxiety, and depression. They're real things that are super hard to recognize from the outside -- procrastinating, sleeping too much or too little or at odd times, getting "stuck" -- this isn't laziness. It'll help your relationship with your kid immensely.
Hey! They write and produce all their own music. They have/had no writers, just them six boys and a dream.
6 boys
Almost every Linkin Park song is a cry for help if u pay attention to the lyrics. Rip Chester.
Have seen Linkin Park twice. So perfect 🔥 Chester was a sensational singer and The band just corgeous ❤❤💔💔
I appreciated this tune as an angsty teenager. I appreciate it more as a middle aged man. RIP Chester 👍🏻
when my dad left me, he left behind this huge binder full of cd's. and 2 cd albums were hybrid theory and meteora. and those songs i kept as a reminder: even though other ppl will give up on me, i must always remember to never give up on myself. and i felt like that was the message that linkin park was trying to get to me. rip chester 🕊️❤️🩹 and i appreciate your stories as well
My son recently shared with me that he was happy I found his Chester through Ren!
Music is so healing🙌🏻
Glad you followed your dreams BP and found your way creating a beautiful life for yourself and family💝
I saw LP in concert when they first got popular. Amazing voice Chester had. RIP CCB💔
Chester not only had a beautiful voice, but was always so attractive to me. He was almost like a Siren.
Thank you for sharing your story. This song cuts to the very depth of my soul. I was a single Mom when this song came out, raising my teenage son on my own. His father had left us to, as he put it, "upgrade to a better life". He was in and out of our son's life, as it worked for him, never around to support him, but always having lots of criticisms about his life choices. My son played this song for me, it felt like it came from his life. We had a really good conversation about how he was feeling. We started to share music with each other, introducing the other to songs that were meaningful to us. This became our way to work through a very difficult period in our lives. We still share music with each other today, one of my favourite things to do.
I love you man never stop being authentic i love hearing you relate to music and share your stories it adds so much
I recommend you check out "Papercut" from Hybrid Theory, the album opener that leaves you craving more. "Lying from you" from Meteora is another standout track, and don't sleep on the most underrated song from the same album, "Figure.09". Every track on Hybrid Theory or Meteora is phenomenal; there's not a single weak one. And for a true display of Chester's vocal prowess, give "Given up" or "QWERTY" (Live from Summer Sonic Tokyo 2006) a listen - his performance there is simply mind-blowing. ❤
I have been a Linkin Park fan since day one. Their music saved my life
not a rap fan but my son loved Linkin Park and played them constantly. Once I paid attention I loved them. I still really only still like rap mixed with singing. The lyrics really spoke to him during the teenage/young adult years.
This album brings back so many memories. It was the 1st album I got before the band blew up.
25 years ago now.
Your list of voices bro... Linkin Park, System Of A Down, and..... Disturbed.
They were my voices as a teen in that era, so much love for them still.
Definitely should have a look at Papercut by Linkin Park.
I'd probably recommend the official video for it.
This is my favorite Linkin Park song! I remember listening to it when I was younger and pissed off at my mom. Then years later, I heard my daughter listening to this same song when she was upset with me! This song has bridged generations!
Linkin Park's live gig video in an underground station is one of my favourite performances.. Gives me MAAAD GOOSEBUMPS! Deffo worth a watch after this @blackpegasus
I love Linkin Park. ❤❤❤
Tough song for me to hear. I deal with severe depression/anxiety and have had those bad thoughts quite a few times. Like Chester, my head is my own worst enemy and a bad street to be on.
RIP Chester
You never get it wrong man whatever you take and relate to is so valid and true music is a way of expression and songs mean something different to everyone
I was fortunate enuf to see LP twice live. Once at Ozzfest circa 2000, and then again opened for Metallica at a day on the green at Candlestick Park in SF circa 2004.
They were amazing both times. When I saw them at Ozzfest I didn't really know who they were - had only ever heard "Crawling" but was blow away by how good they were.
When you connect to a song, you connect to it. Every Linkin Park song has a message that someone is going to relate to in some form or fashion. *Talking To Myself* is written from the perspective of "ok I keep trying to talk to you to help (which is Chester or those of us that battle the mental blegh), but I feel like I'm not getting through and I'm talking to myself". People b!tched and moaned and grouched about the song Heavy, about the One More Light album being "not like Linkin Park at all" before Chester passed away, then they acted like they'd been hit with a clue when he passed, that is something that just grates on me.
The One More Light Live concert/album has some beautiful versions of older songs, Crawling is heavy, faster paced....at the concert, it's something else entirely. There's an interview he did shortly before July 20th, 2017, and he is explaining some very heavy dark things, paraphrasing the space between his ears (his mental state) can become a bad neighborhood and the guy doing the interview starts laughing at one point (not an uncomfortable laugh), I stopped the video because I was just like WTAF.
I always admired Chester's singing ability, especially coupled with the way he was able to 'scream' the other lyrical parts. I'm sure that would've messed with his throat and affected his singing, but it still sounded great. When hybrid theory came out and everyone was talking about this band, I remember no one ever mentioning how great a singer Chester is, it was crazy to me looking back on it.
I love when you,re talking and telling your stories. This one got me emotional because I can relate so much. My parents are very traditional, and I dont mean it in a bad way. They just wanted me to do well, they wanted me to go to college and have a good job, marry, have kids. And I did everything opposite. So this song speaks so much to me. And your comments about it mean so much also. Thank you for sharing!
I had my dad read the lyrics to this song. I told him this is how I felt as a teenager. He now understands why we had all the fights. It has brought us closer.
Saw them and Tapproot at OzFest in Illinois when I was in high school B4 they were famous. They were great then
highschool and college days i was a loner like her with family problems. this was my medicine ty LP for helping me and surviving my dark days.
You and chris are so missed. RIP chris and chester.
One more Light live on Jimmy Kemmel (Chris Cornell tribute). Chester is so broken hearted. And Given Up is a very short song, but unbelievable. To hear him scream out to God & then that 17 second scream~man! Chester & Chris will forever be missed!
Chester saved more lives than he could have ever imagined. RIP such a kind soul. May he never suffer again.
❤❤❤ RIP Chester 💙💙💙
R.I.P Chester ❤
A place for my head live- the vocals, the crowd and energy... irreplaceable
Linkin Park has always been in my Tops. Nirvana. Foo Fighters. Incubus. Linking Park. He TOLD US he wanted OUT. It broke our hearts...but he was honest. the songs always have and will resonate. Raw. Honest> real! YES!
I love your interpretation of this song... Completely valid!
For me, it was I did go to college, and university - I achieved academically... But didn't go into any normal industry...
I was insistent on starting and running my own company, and I tried and failed 7 times!! and after the first it was all bullshit trying to get me to go into the family business or get a trade...
This time around, I made it, I have 90 staff and we turnover £45M a year... Now they are proud of me...
There has been lots of therapy to get over the worthless feelings from the past. But we move on, and we get stronger!
One of my favorites. ❤️
This song goes so hard... one of my faves from LP.
My legends from that time are Linkin Park and Eminem, both of whom have a special way of reaching people emotionally and telling real life things. And I love it when such singers not only manage to make me dance but also touch my soul with their voice or lyrics.
Speak your truth. My parents were like that too. I found my own path , but my parents never supported my choices until they saw my success. Then they were mad cuz I didn't welcome them back into my life now that they were proud of me. I made them earn their way back into my life. Wrong or not those were my terms, and they understood that. So B4 they passed we finally came together as a family and accepted what the journey was.
RIP Chester! My heart broke! I live with severe depression, and his lyrics scream it out loud, HELP!
The girl in this video is Briana Evigan , who played Andie in Step Up 2 The Streets. Her dad is a famous actor his name is Greg Evigan.
This can resonate with people in many different ways. For me, I married for the wrong reasons and was stuck with someone I could not be myself around. While I was in this misery, I would listen to this song while parked at a random park watching people play soccer while I was avoiding going home. "Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?
'Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take". The chorus was my rallying point and helped me to finally step away from the relationship. "All I want to do, Is be more like me, And be less like you" Thanks Chester
To all who is struggling mentally, who lost hope, who tried and tried but failed...keep going. We owe it to the ones who couldnt carry on. Doesnt matter if no one cares, we owe it to ourselves, to our past, to our future.
Thank you for sharing your story❤ us parents just want the best for their children. We all parent different. I have an Architect and a realtor and they are both successful in what they do. I always supported them no matter what. 🥺
