The fact that you bleeped out suicide, goes to show what a puppet you are. Hiding the word itself contributes to the problems that cause it. Congratulations, sell out.
Everyone was so focused on the music Linkin Park made over Chester's suffering and feelings. But one thing's for certain, he will forever remain a legend. RIP Chester Bennington.
I’m legitimately screenshotting this to print and put in my journal too. We have so much in common and helped me make it to 30. This will remind me that what happened wasn’t because he wasn’t strong. But I can do better for myself as an adult than he got. And that’s all that matters in surviving, which is his legacy. A million people can’t save me but maybe I can save myself with the help of a few friends and family and accredited devoted people. And if I can’t? I’ll meet him and he’ll know I did my best. But I don’t think I’ll meet him for 70 years. Without his music I may have been there to greet him when he left this world
no, it's not cowardly only a simple-minded loser would say that. who ever thought up that saying had down syndrome. you cannot make up your own reality of the situation and then pretend its reality, if you want to call yourself a coward for committing suicide go for it but your words have no real meaning when talking about something you don't know. you are simply just repeating words that you have heard someone else say and pretending that its factual when it's a dumb thing for anyone to have ever said before. i think the saying was actual intended to reflect the person or people saying it and not the person who committed suicide anyway because they were in a distraught state of mind and angary who ever killed them self and now that saying is taking out of context and parroted and repeated by retard like you.@@benjaminbakker7643
I disagree with the quote. A quote like this speaks to the accepted power of ignorance or obstinance. Being vulnerable is weird, but being dedicated is divine. He was divine. Death is often the end of a tale poorly told though it is also the start of a story that can be told another way.
I wish EVERYONE who wants or did leave this existence heard the voice that I heard 40+ years ago telling me that it was wrong to kill (even yourself), that to do so is unforgivable (the ultimate sin).
A Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle was written by Maynard James Keenan who was friends with, Chris and Layne and suffered from Child Male on Male Sodomy. Also the loss of his Mother are all things which inspired him to write this LP which is the best lyrics which point out these Mental Health issues in a way that have helped many understand why certain feelings materialize. Only then can a person try to embrace the random to calm the storm within.
Some people will never understand depression no matter how much you try to get through to them. Its frustrating. only if you go through it can you recognize it. I remember the first video I saw of Chester and I knew without a doubt that Chester was a troubled passionate man.A smile can fool some but it shows in the eyes. I wish those close to him could have gotten through to him. One More Light is my very favorite song by Linkin Park. Miss you always Chester. I hope through him people see that we all matter. We all matter!!!!❤
It is sick, horrible, and in bad taste to see the edited photo of Chester with bruises on his face just to generate clickbait. I totally repudiate this.
Na mnie też,musiał bardzo ale to bardzo cierpieć i dlatego tak to wyczuwamy.W jego głosie gdy śpiewał też to się wyczuwało!On wyrażał w ten sposób wiele ludzi którzy cierpią na depresję!
I am a female US Army veteran. I have PTSD. I was abused by my father until I was 17. I have been molested. I get it when "Chester said the area between his ears is a bad neighborhood". I too am trying to get sober. It's a motherfkr, but one day at a time...God bless and keep you Chester!
Thank you for your service. Sending you love + strength ❤ 💪I also suffer with PTSD, anxiety, depression...I don't know what you're going thru but I know it sucks a lot of the time. I can relate to that. I wish you the best. God Bless 🙏
Man… he was so talented. Through his trauma, his pain, his struggles, he ultimately made something so beautiful. Art. He did it so well. I know we all wish he would’ve received better throughout his life and that he definitely deserved better. Rest in peace, Chester.
By the way, is Chester's photo in the thumbnail Photoshopped to have injuries? It looked like it, If it's, that's a distasteful move. A common movemadee by awful channels covering tragedies or the fall of RUclipsrs like SunnyV2.
Agreed, he opened up and the guy laughed. Not sure if it was out of nervousness but somehow Chester felt comfortable enough to talk about the autonomic negative thoughts (ANTS). I hope after the interview the host at least asked, "Hey man, are you alright? I'm always here for you, I mean it. Call me anytime, day or night, ya hear me?" 😢
All those people thst booed him and threw stuff at him is partially responsible for his death. Not knowingly of course but your actions devastated him. Now everyone is so sad about his loss but didn't appreciate him as much when he was alive. I have clinical depression and it can only be helped by medication. However getting to a low or depressed state can be caused very easily. I can't imagine how it feels to think that everyone (literally) is against you. Then you start to remember what your life has been like and then you're there. Please think before you have an effect like this on someone.
The thing that hurts most for me is that people were so upset about the sound of the music that they never listened to the words. You can tell he was struggling, even if he didn't write the songs alone. My friends and I were actually writing a play/musical to Linkin Park's music when we heard about his passing. We wanted to turn it onto a memorioum to him in a way after the news broke, but 7 years later, the project, while technically finished, is dead in the water. I can't speak for the others, but I miss him greatly. Linkin Park was an important part of my formative years and is still my favorite band to listen to on a near regular basis. All the love to his family and the rest of the crew.
6 years on I STILL cannot process the fact that Chester has passed away. I've loved linkin park since I was 16 years old. I turn 35 next week - this band being part of my therapy.
I will be honest I have listened to them over the years too. There lyrics and beat match well. But to be honest their lyrics isn't what's really Upbeat, it's actually sad, most of their songs are sad. It also speaks about their emotional struggles. It would probably make you cry before you actually feel happy. I'm really not sure if that is a good therapy. Hmm the only comfort that I feel you may have gotten was that you knew they were going through some stuff and at that point so we're you. Perhaps that's the only reason you feel a strong connection. Probably your still at that same place. Hopefully not. Hopefully your past it and living a cheerful life
I was molested at the age of 5. Never spoke of it until my late 40’s . People who have never been through it have no idea how it changes everything about you!! What happened to him caused him to self medicate, heavily, to push down those feelings. It’s what we do because we don’t know how to handle our feelings!! He did an interview where he said “Inside my own head is a bad place for me “ and I knew exactly what he meant. His passing affected more than any other celebrity death both me and my grown kids because they grew up listening to it with me. I hope you are now at peace Chester 🤘💚 ;
I am so sorry for what you have endured. Not that it's any more deviation of your circumstances....I would you like to add a few factors on that me being deaf and no one would ever actually hear me no matter how I tried.
I hope all the people who booed and threw stuff at Chester are happy now. Just because the band wanted to go a different way for one album didn't mean they would never go back to their roots. We'll never know. Now all we have are memories. If you were a fan at all you knew Chester had demons. Way to kick somebody when they're already down. Miss you SO MUCH Chester.
Exactly my thoughts!So cruel to hit someone you claim to appreciate,in a time he just needs some peace of mind and support.I think that was the final drop,cause being a singer meant so much to him.He gave it all to the fans, and this is what he got back.Even if you don't like someone,you don't hit him when he's down.That's just cruel!
@@ZaneG-fl8ze Wow. I hope none of your loved ones suffer from depression because they will get absolutely no support from you. You obviously have no clue what suffering from it entails.
@ZaneG-fl8ze what a stupidly insensitive comment. Clearly you have know idea of the effects of childhood trauma, drug and alcohol abuse on mental health.
Chester says in the Interview: "I don't know if anybody out there can relate, but I have a hard time with life. Sometimes. Sometimes it's great, but a lot of times, for me it's really hard. And no matter how I'm feeling, I always find myself struggling with certain patterns of behavior. I find myself stuck in the same thing that keeps repeating over and over again and I'm just like 'how do I end up?', 'how am I in this?'. I know that, for me, when I'm inside myself, when I'm in my own head. This place right here, this skull between my ears, that is a bad neighborhood and I should not be in there alone. My whole life gets thrown off if I'm in there. I don't say nice things to myself, like there's another Chester in there that wants to take me down." This says everything - and I can relate.
I know exactly what he means - but one day you become terrified of yourself, terrified of what’s within you, terrified of facing the darkness of the past. This is the only way to release these demons in the soul, to go within, to work through these feelings and heal. I would have sat with him through any thought he had, any feeling - no matter how dark. You don’t have to be alone. I have baffled severe depression for many years to the point I couldn’t even talk. My family and friends were so scared of me. But I let myself break. I let myself fall into the depths in order to heal. I stopped smiling. I stopped pretending. And I looked within. I let my fake friends leave, I let everyone walk away. And I prayed to God for help. The Devil will use all of our traumas to kill, steal and destroy us - God will use all of our traumas to help others who have experienced the same thing. Please don’t end your life.
As a person who is recovering/still struggling from the worst depression possible, it only takes ONE time to get down to that deepest, lowest dark place for something tragic to happen. It’s hard to explain unless you have lived it… I hope Chester is at peace; it’s VERY hard to watch him with his kids… thank God THEY weren’t the ones to find him.😢
I know that feeling too, just like if you got upset at all anymore if that was possible you’d have to much pain to live. Sorry you had to go through it i send my best wishes!
I have had depression since I was about 18 and im still dealing with it now but there are good times that make up for it. Trust me it will get better. learn to love yourself and realise you are a good person and you are over analysing yourself. Trust me, people are so worried about themselves that they aren't judging you. Who cares if they judge you, be yourself and enjoy life as you only get one shot baby. Make that shot worth it.
Play three of his song so all the time it's unbelievable this man is a hero of getting the word out through a different media that nobody else is talking about pedophilia
the moment he laughed when chester said the thoughts in his head against him made me so mad, depression is real the way he looked over when he laughed 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
time stamp!!!!! don't you fks know how important a time stamp is?? i don't want to give his youtube analytics the vieuw of his video. it's litterally just "number:number" it's not freaking difficult to do now is it?
@@lissakitty8657 come on, a little prespective! We see a tiny part of an interview, without them knowing the future, where Chester lightlly describes his brain as a bad neighborhood. At our point in time, we watch a video about his life, knowing what will happen. They didn't. And maybe this was a light interview, so laughing maybe was appopriate for the audience of the program.
Of course I can relate. Life sucks 85% of the time. No one cares. Everyone is quick to judge. Most people suck. There’s no one to talk to. I shouldn’t be alone with my thoughts either. It’s an everyday battle to love myself and choose life instead of ending it all. Chester Bennington will forever be missed 😔 stay strong out there 🕊️❤💐
Life wouldn't suck so much if everyone could remember what I learned a three years old. If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything. It's easy to stop judging someone, it's called mind your own business it's not your life. Now it seems like as people instead of looking for a way to make things better they're seeing who can get worse then the one before. Kindness from just one person could change a person forever.
Honey you're obviously better than those who hurt you and stronger. You're being real. I have pretty shitty thoughts too sometimes and it's easier get them out of my head when I watch the new, etc. I always see someone who has it worse then I do. Giving a positive thought to their need. Negative loses.
This is not what depression is about … your life can be absolutely wonderful, people around you can be wonderful, everything being absolutely perfect … but you are sad … in a dark place … not knowing why … if your life is one big shitshow it is not surprising that it looks pretty dark inside your own head, in your thoughts … this is not necessarily depression emotionally reacting to pressure and stress is natural … no medication or therapy changes a shit life getting someone down … but it can lead to clinical depression …
I grew up listening to Linkin Park. His passing away hit me very hard, I was crying for a few days. Linking Park and specifically Chester will always be a part of me. Ironically, we wouldn’t have such a one-in-a-million band if Chester didn’t endure what he had to as a child. His legacy is a constant reminder for me to protect my own family from evil and don’t take life as granted, enjoying every damn day.
He may have not been perfect, but at essence, he was always a great man. When I listen to Linkin Park’s songs, i feel like he’s still alive. I want to believe he’s still alive. 🙏
Depression is a serious disease. No matter how well one is doing…the mind will always prevail. I listen to his songs to remind myself that life is good. His anguish cries/screams and his art maturity has had him ridiculed. We all grow with feeling at the top of our game and feeling 50ff below rock bottom. I’ve attempted life twice and Chester’s songs have saved me and made me realize…I am not alone.
I think it's bullshit when so called "fans" judge someone for making new music. Call yourself a "fan" of a song if it's certain songs one likes, a "True Fan" may have certain favorite songs of an Artist/Band, but still..they remain Unconditionally Loving & Loyal Fans. Chester, We miss you down here bud! R.I.P 🤘🏻💀
I’m a huge fan and have been for years, but I was one of the people who criticised the new song. Fans weren’t upset about the song - most thought it was an okay pop song. It was because they hyped up this new “rock” song and then when it was released it was clearly a generic pop song. He was just so used to everyone kissing his behind since 2000 that he couldn’t accept his fans had a moment of disappointment. He turned on his fans in a really awful way (telling them to kill themselves). I hate that my last opinion of him is so low, but I try to remember that he has demons and they may have been the ones speaking.
@@shambolicrhetoric6143 Fans were upset to the point where they were throwing things at him on stage, boo'n him and harshly judging which are all unnecessary and unacceptable. You don't have to like every song but in no way should ANYONE ever be treated like that. Period. And whether people care or not I'm sure that played a part of his relapse.
@@itsthespiceoflife “some” fans. Dude was a sloppy drunk and a coke head long before that song came out. All of his interviews in the years leading up, it was obvious he was on drugs.
I don't think people who like rock music only should be considered as Linkin Park fans. I loved the pop sound. One More Light is ahead of HT for me and others of next generation. Metal heads are annoying asf and can't handle when a band evolves from a dead genre. @@shambolicrhetoric6143
So many people think it's easy to be inside their heads battling their demons but it can be overwhelming. Not everyone's demons are drugs and alcohol. Some demons people are dealing with stem from sexual abuse, neglect, lack of self-control, lack of confidence, negative self-image, and loneliness. I know there's more but you all get it. I'm always fighting my demons and the only reason I'm still here is because of my family. As an army veteran, it ain't hard to delete one's self. The wake-up for me was when Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington died because a lot of us soldiers listened to those guys a lot. It made me more aware of my own struggles so I seeked out behavioral health. I still battle my own demons but I feel I'm better equipped and grounded now. The fight is never over and I continue to rage against the dying of the light.
Linkin Park was the first music I listened to that wasn't rap or r&b. I used to get up and while getting ready for school, I'd put MTV on waiting for Crawling to come on. I was so afraid I would get in to trouble by my parents, I'd play it super low so they wouldnt hear it. It made me so happy, because he was explaining exactly what I was feeling. This was before mental health was taken seriously. It was so refreshing to listen to someone who was feeling what I was feeling. I was working at a local thrift shop when I heard of his death 😢🖤
After Chester's Suicide...Linkin Parks music has such DEEP meaning that I never realized...you can really FEEL Chesters internal struggle...so sad what this man had to deal with mentally
I remember I was literally on the bus ride going to work listening to Linkin Park on Pandora radio when they mentioned that they were going to be here in Chicago. Not even 5 minutes after hearing that advertisement, my late fiance called me and said that Chester had committed suicide. I broke down so hard on the bus that a random lady came up to me and said "Everything was going to be okay" and handed me tissues. This band literally helped me and my brother through so much because our parents used to come home every Friday night after going to the bar and they would fight until the late morning hours play. I'll never forget that phone call.
I was listening to ‘Seasons’ by Chris Cornell when I found out he passed and was numb immediately. I’m sorry for your loss fellow human and pray you find comfort in this trip called life.
He used to be a regular where I work (Home Depot)really cool dude talked to everyone, worked on/ maintained his own home where he could. No rockstar attitude.
Linkin Park saved me from myself when I was growing up in the 90s and 00s. They helped me to get over my own feelings of being a victim of bullying and SA. I was deeply saddened by Chester's passing. He may be gone, but he won't be forgotten.
Chester had complex PTSD and coped the best he knew how with his trauma. Such a brilliant talented man. He went through so much his whole life. Such a tragedy of his loss. RIP Chester.
I remember the first time i heard Hybrid Theory in 2000 when it came out... i was taken aback. This man was saying exactly what i was feeling. Trying to figure out life as a teenager and just having a breakup with my first girlfriend. RIP Chester, you helped me more then you could ever know.
Thanks to people like Chester, the stigma of child SA is swiftly going, at least for those who get old enough to speak out. That's an enormous legacy, on top of the music... ❤
Who was that interviewer with Chester that laughed loudly when he was pouring his heart out saying "this place between my ears is NOT a good place"? The incompetence is tangible. I will NEVER get over Chester's passing.
This makes me cry to this day, its one loss of a talented and awesome man that was such a huge part of my younger years. His lyrics still resonate in my very soul.
I understand your sentiment, but I must respectfully disagree. While it's true that there are many talented and awesome people in the world, Chester was an exceptional individual who brought joy and inspiration to countless fans through his music. Although there are many talented and awesome people in this world, Chester was one of a kind. His loss is a great tragedy. The day he passed, I had wishful thought. Somewhere at the same time in the world, a mother has given birth to a baby, I hope he can find his way to and be reborn, who knows, he might pop up 15- 20 years old. I know too much Wishful thinking, but if I am to hear him again and everything I need to do is just dream that being reborn is actually a thing so beat! Although he might not look the same, we will recognize him definitely from the voice.
I 1000% agree with you!!!! My heart and soul cry every time I hear his music!!! I'll be 38 in January, and ever since they came out, I've been a fan and I too went through hell in my teen years and he was my saving grace!!!
Leave out all the rest. That’s what my kids gonna play at my funeral. I already told my family. Even though I’m still young, but I made my decision ❤ This is my favorite song.
I feel so bad for Chester, especially when Chris Cornell died. Chester and Chris were very close, and Chester viewed Chris, who was an idol of his, as a rock in his own life. When Chris died, Chester seemed lost.
Very sad indeed. Not a coincidence he used the same method. Only saw him live once a very long time ago and I regret it was only that one time even though I live in Belgium. We miss you Chester ❤ hope you're at peace
He should have been focused on his kids. Sad that he's gone but like Chris it was just plain selfish and doing what they didn't didn't fix anything other than them and only fused heartache and pain for there families and millions of fans across the world! Suicide is not the answer I'm a veteran seen and been through allot if you need help or someone to talk too ask.. don't wait and if you see signs from someone take action.. don't shoulda woulda coulda 😢
People are so cruel, they feel that their opinions matter so much to criticize a bands music style without realizing that it affected Chester mentally. After he committed suicide those same people are probably crying "rest in peace" and "we miss chester"... they were the ones who added to his madness which devoured his sanity.
no sadly because they don’t usually remember that there favourite singers are human beings who have the same real life problems as the rest of the world, but i guess he was probably put on a pedestal by fans and yes men which i would think that chester would be uncomfortable with( especially since i have found out about his abuse and no one taking him seriously ) if like most sufferers of s.a which he hadn’t processed the trauma of it he most likely was full of shame ( shame is a bad emotion and the fact that most people don’t understand that toxic shame is not their shame and they don’t understand that shame is put on them and internalised guilt is felt but it is misplaced and some people struggle with anger and expressing it sadly and internalise it) he lost his validation friend
Sounds better than what it actually says … those thousands have no real relevance at all as they neither know whats going on nor are they close enough … only those close to the person struggling can help and the person struggling needs to accept it …
I cried the day after I found out about his passing. His music helped me get through so much...I've always wanted to and even made plans to see the band in concert but never had that chance after that. Broke my heart
What’s sad is the dude interviewing Chester when he was talking about his head being a bad neighborhood & the guy just laughed, bet he regretted that later. RIP Chester 🙏🏼
Unhealed trauma becomes a “tortured soul.” Trauma fragments the soul. It gives the Devil a foothold in your life to release these thoughts of self hatred, depression and darkness. I know what it’s like because I’ve been there. God SAVES the soul. Know this. He will never abandon those who cast their burdens upon him
I'm not a fan of linkin park, but this recap of chesters' life is heartbreaking. His un-befitting demise must be devastating, not only to his friends and family, but his loyal fans too. I hope his tortured soul has finally found the peace that he never found in life. RIP fella
It’s almost cruel that a man with so much could be so sad, a man with almost everything another man could ask for, it’s sickening that he could have been this sad the whole time, and that he didn’t get proper help with his problems and being left to rot his problems away, its terrible, Rest In Peace Chester Bennington, you will be remembered as the greatest man with the saddest story.
He showed all his fans the wrong way to handle your problems. That doesn't help anyone ! Same for Cornell & Kobain. All these guys, family and friends, and us fans had to deal with their loss so that they didn't have to deal with their lives anymore. How does that make them legends???
I heard a interview where he said no matter how he was feeling , when I'm with my kids all that shit doesn't matter , he like most spends his time alone reflecting on all the chaos in one's life , I can understand how someone like him could be overwhelmed , their was alot of turmoil at the time of his death , I truly believe Chris Cornells death had a profoundly bad effect on his mental state , the fans reaction to OML , and having 7 kids idk for a sensitive person thats alot to handle . RIP we will always have a special place for him in our memories and hearts.
It's clear that his fans, in a way, betrayed him with One More Light. Now they want to praise him. We need to get past what our favorite musicians make for us, and appreciate it. The different tone doesn't mean someone sold out but that they have a different side they want to show as they grow and become older. RIP chester. Your demons have been released.
I said this from day 1 when One More Light was released. Everyone around me was so angry with the album, but missed the point that artists are allowed to explore different angles of their craft. I enjoyed OML so much and appreciated it, so much so I was supposed to see and meet Linkin Park that July. A week before the show, he passed.
@@margieanderson8095 Do you have anything else to say about him, something new? Because you're repeating yourself in every comment section with this same sentence. If you don't mind, I would love to see some stuff from people who knew him. Not just the fact that they used to know him.
@@ZoeF.O There is alot to show. Her picture is among the friends on the albumns. Lyrics wrote on paper. Albumns. She grew up with him so there are things from Greydaze the band before Linkin park too. They remained friends. There is alot to show. Yes, I do have more to say. He did not commit suicide. He greatly loved his fans, his Children and his life.
I am 60 yrs old and recovering from a tragic life generated by my bad choices. It resulted in the brutal murder of the man I loved and was married to. Chester Benningtons' rise and fall and the heart in the amazing music is one of the cornerstones that lend inspiration and give me strength on the long road to being functional. I disagree with anyone pushing their twist on his lifes ups and down because he is not here to defend his self...R.I.P young man. Thank you for your help from the grace.
Chester was telling his story through his music. You can hear in his voice the pain he was in. No one ever seen or felt that 😔 It's a true struggle when it's hard to open up and talk.
I saw him live on stage just 4 weeks before his death at the Nova Rock festival in Austria. It was the same as on Hellfest. Many people booed and turned away when they played newer songs. Chester then seemed frustrated, but for me, it looked like he gave in to the crowd and they changed to setlist mid-concert. Back then I was ashamed of the "fans", but I remember being awestruck by Chester for being so "nice" to the fans, that he "gave them what they wanted". Little did I know, that it was him surrendering. It was not the reason for his downfall, but it was one of many pieces to a puzzle where the final picture is one hell of an ugly beast. Rest in peace, Chester. May your mind be a better neighbor to you wherever you are now.
Chesters' ability to scream some of his pain outward through the music LP created ultimately enables millions of others to scream their own pain outwardly by listening to his voice. LP and Chesters' vocal talent helps me to connect to my own altar, who forever tries to take me down. We are our own worst critic when in fact we should tell that critic to frell off! Litrally, outloud, telling it to frell off!!
I will never forget when I heard- I was driving having just left my moms house when they announced it.. I had to pull over to side the road, I had never wept like that over someone I didn’t know personally… but I felt like I grew up with him- with Linkin Park. Their first single came out my 10th grade year in highschool & they quickly became my favorite.. I felt every emotion he poured into those lyrics- and those songs were with me during some of my darkest days. Being diagnosed with BPD- struggling with that feeling of hating being in your own skin, feeling so utterly alone, & battling those ideation thoughts that were so relentless…. He really meant something to me & always will! He is a legend and will forever be missed
His pain is in every song. I love the music and absolutely cried when he died, I know it’s stupid but I just hurt. I hope he is at peace. His voice and lyrics are always always in the background for me.
For those that are saying or even thinking that he was selfish for leaving his family in this way, you’ll never fully understand how much pain you have to be in to attempt an act like this. Every part of you believes that your loved ones will be unburdened, and therefore live happier lives without you. It feels like the greatest gift you could give the people you love ❤❤
About 8 years ago my dad tried to commit suicide and I felt for him, been in his shoes. My brother on the other hand was so angry and called him selfish. I wish people didn't just see grey in these situations, it's not that simple. But when you feel that immense pain it feels like there is no other way out.
@QueenTeal yep. I had a friend who was married to one of my wife's friends from way back in high school. This guy had it made. Making big bucks, great family, many friends. But, he had depression for years and years. He was in pain but he hid it from everyone, although he did get counseling. On a random day, he drove out to the desert and shot himself. People with everything, some of them still can't fight it. Chester is a prime example. A rock star, big bucks, great family. It truly is tragic.
Every song I listen to now, I can hear his cries for help. We didn’t know it then because his lyrics resonated with our soul. Now, I listen and hear him telling us in the lyrics he was not long for this world. He saved hundreds but not himself
Because no telling how many miserable people watching the video might be triggered by the word to do the same. Of course, it’s pathetic to bleep any word, especially all those letter-hyphen-word words. YT covering themselves legally
Nope they are just selfish scumbags who decide to forever hurt their families in trade to end their own hurt. Stop trying to make excuses for them just because they made cool sounds.
@@JanoyCresvaYou have no right to speak at all. Chester was not a scumbag. He suffered with drug and alcohol abuse. Neither was chris cornell a scumbag. If you don't have anything nice to say Move on with your life
@@JanoyCresvaExactly! I truly don't understand the celebrity worship going on with most of these comments. This guy, just like Cobain, was a drug addled selfish coward who happened to make some good music. Its sad.
I agree that he and Cornell were both silenced by the music, movie and political elite that the two of them were working on a documentary about the sexual abuse, trafficking and worse of those powerful groups. Look at John Podesta photo which many say is Chester's father.
I'm here on the day Linkin Park announced their new lead singer. Chester will never be replaced. But I'm so happy that Linkin Park will be on a stage again.
I suffer with a lot of the same things and I definitely can relate with him. His song crawling puts in words what I was going through everyday and could never explain to my family what I was going through. R.I.P. You put words to my feelings and helped me explain why I was the way I was.
This guy shouted the soundtrack of my youth, alongsinde people like Fred Durst and Corey Taylor... I cant discribe, how much I miss getting new stuff from him... His lyrics helped me so much, not realzing, how much it took out of him... He inspired my gamer name to 75%. I literally call myself Jestrix. (Combination of Chester and Asterix) I miss this guy so much... He is to me, what Paul Walker was to car people... He is to me, what MJ is to Basketball fans... He is to me, what Wayne Gretzky is to Hockey fans... He is to me, what any idol to you is... He was the one person, I never knew, who spoke right of my heart... Linkin Part was the sound of a whole generation! And we will never forget our voice of the voiceless!!! Hybrid Theory and Meteora were the only LPs in my life, on which I didnt skip a single song! Those were perfect albums... THANK YOU CHESTER!!! REST IN PEACE BROTHER!!!
Well you don't know me from Adam but I am telling you, begging you, DON'T! I have been in the depths of hellish depression so many days of my life I'm still amazed I'm alive to type this... but obviously I never went through with it. Am I GLAD I didn't succeed the answer is YES, because suicide is A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM. And when we're in the very depths of our own existence you have no perspective and it seems like "I will always feel this way and I can't stand it anymore" is the place you arrive at. And the perspective is WRONG especially wrong when you are coming from such a place and just want the pain to stop. From bitter experience I DO have some answers to what you should/MUST do right away! 1. COLD SHOWERS. No reason to torture yourself you can just stick your head in the cold water for several seconds because the point is, this is almost like a re-set for your mood, (which is your biggest problem at the moment)! Just get as much cold water on your body as you can withstand, without self-torture, do it for a minimum of two weeks, and do these sessions for at least one to ten minutes THEN tell me you don't feel better afterwards! (I did it, when I did it, at the very end of my regular warm showers, and just turned the temp handle to cold gradually. 2. Get yourself some good anti-depressants and get them fast, because You need ANTI-DEPRESSANTS I am not joking! But once again there is a caveat to this and it is called: ZOLOFT, about which, I must warn you in the most emphatic terms: DO NOT let them prescribe Zoloft to you! ANYTHING but that, because it made my depression 10 times worse!. I have had good results with Paxil CR or Cymbalta, which to me, are the holy grail and will work wonders to snap you out of that mood that is urging you on to self-destruction! So start w those two things and do them today, and don't stop until your head is at the place where it is supposed to be or something approaching normality!
Hoping to not sound like a religious freak, I believe that the good always prevails. Keep focusing on the good, and the evil will have to bow down. I also have that toxic environment between my ears, but I know that it will be beaten, even though it will be the toughest battle of all. Keep fighting, it's worth it 💪❤
@@f0st29 I just want to emphasize that there's also a way without the religious aspect. We all have the power in ourselves. But I also respect the belief in a higher power.
People need to do more research regarding Chesters and Chris Cornells passing. Both was Soo eerily similar. And the things they were fighting against makes everything more suspicious. Rip to these two legendary singers. Such range and tone with these two. 🤘
Absolutely! Cornell, Bennington, Avicci, Anthony Bourdain also! I can go on and on but this video told the truth of what we’re supposed to think what happened…. So go and google “The Silent Children” which was a documentary funded by Chris Cornell and then was cancelled after his death. “The Silent Children” was about sex trafficking. Then google Chris Cornell’s autopsy with 9 broken ribs? 2 different 911 calls, one told about a bloody gash that was on his head and the other didn’t. It was visible if you saw his last show. Also the coroner never put that in the autopsy about his head. That’s just my opinion so I’m stating what I think. Also more people involved. Also google about the recycling project in Haiti, which Lincoln Park was involved in. Im sorry but that’s my opinion….I’m not a negative person at all and don’t want to argue with anyone on here. I care too much and I’m still learning so much more. I first met Chris Cornell in 1988. I think of him every day because he has helped me my whole life through his music. He was my favorite of all time. My Legend! RIP Chris and Chester and others🌸❤️
This is the section I was looking for. I have said this since day 1 of him passing. He was in the middle of exposing something. I think him and Chris both were part of exposing truth and I believe they were targeted because of it.
When he said there was another Chester inside his head saying awful things to him, that just gave me chills. Who knows how awful normal life was for him. One thing is for sure, his act of self destruction touched the hearts of so many souls who loved him, including me. He had the most incredible voice I've ever heard. Together with the rest of Linkin Park, they had a unique sound. I still find myself humming their songs. God give you peaceful rest Chester.
Beautiful video and homage to such a good person dealing with some personal issues or demons. My son suffered through the same and tried to end his life 3 times. Hard to say that in 2017 my son took Chester's death to heart and sought help. He is now entering 5 years leading with a different view of life. Sadly, Chester had a lot to do with his own turnaround. He and I loved Linkin Park and my deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Chester, we continue to listen to your art and talent. Hope you have found peace now, brother. 🙏
A lot of his lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks severe depression ptsd abuse ive been through addiction ive beat but the after shocks never go away ,rip chester thanks for the amazing music 💯
Men “fans” never learned, people on social media feel entitled to tell musicians, what to make or what to do, One more light is a great song, and if the band made it is cuz they had a good feeling about it. People on the internet push people way to far, Chester was in a bad place and so called “fans” just helped make things worst. Shotout to the real fans who always supported him.
THIS is the only time I ever cried for the death of a celebrity. The total annihilation of my music world died that day, for Chester and LP. It'll never be the same. My husband went through some tough shyte. He passed in 2004. I likened him to Chester, and LP became my world. The saddness. Complete total world changing sadness. :'( Devistation indeed.
I pray Chester forever rests in peace & love.His story cuts like a knife, his life so much like my brother’s. My brother died July 15, 2014. My life, forever changed. He was my only brother.
The problem with depression/sue-ah-side is that those who are... feel they are a burden and the world would be better without them 😢 It's so sad as those left behind will forever ask, "Why? What could we have done?" 😢 with deep sadness. 💔
Сердце Честера такое большое, доброе, любящее разбилось на миллион осколков, и теперь эти осколочки попали в сердца его поклонников. С уходом Честера часть его души живет в нас. Ты жив- мы тебя помним!
This man changed my life when I was 8 years old. I discovered Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Through experiencing these powerful compositions of music I had been shown that it’s okay to express heavy, uncomfortable emotions that my parents never allowed me to express while growing up, without punishment. I could not have possibly comprehended at the time but this was a profound point in my life, very impactful. To this day when I listen to those albums I instantly am filled with a feeling of electricity, visceral, raw emotional energy being freed up & flowing through my body. I experienced significant trauma over my first 7-8 years of life and it has been impacting me ever since, now 20 years later. This man Chester Bennington I am forever grateful for. He did more for me than my parents ever did as far as giving me permission, showing me that it is okay to express how I am feeling no matter what that may be. After years of keeping things bottled up throughout my teenage years & early adult life I started to explore and express the emotions, thoughts, feelings I had been experiencing. While I am still struggling, I am also beginning to embrace change, self growth, personal transformation. Thank you Chester, I love you 💚🪬
hiding the words, instead of exposing them; when SA and sui;cide are so real and plentiful ard the world. how can we solve something that is bleeped in word and in hearing? Oh, prince of the Air, how cunning thou art...
This is one thing i had feared and still fear to this day. and to hear his passing really hit home to me. i have been able to seek help and have been able to open up about what had happened to me for 12 years of my young life. i hope others who have gone though the hells of life are able to find the help they need and able to live the best life they possibly can. As a male survivor of SA i can tell you its not easy, but it can be done and know youre never alone.
I got the chance to go to the last LK concert in BK NY, and my wife didn't want to go with me. It was my dream since I was a teenager growing in Ecuador. I regret everyday not having the balls to go by myself and see him. S.I.P Brother Chester, you will always live in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
Same Last time in Amsterdam i tought i will go next time. 😢 thankfully i went to a concert in 2002 so ive seen them once in my life .but still regret i didnt go the last time 🙁
Wow, I have loved your music for years, Chester. You brought my Daughters and I together. We all loved your music and ultimately, you. I’m so sorry that there wasn’t really anyone there to see clearly. But thank you. Thank you so much! ♥️
I saw Linkin Park live before his passing. It's so sad to hear his story. I'm an alcoholic, but I don't do drugs, because I saw my dad slowly die from drugs. I guess alcohol is a drug. I grew up with it. Both parents died (my mom from heart issues). I also have depression. So I can kind of relate. I have all of Linkin Park's Albums, by the way.
@@pistashleyo5897 I'm working With my GP (doctor) on that because I don't want to go to the hospital again. They try to overdose me on drugs to the point that I don't remember being there! Fuck that
Hi punchpressqueen75.Sorry to hear about your depression. What I did is, change the tools for making me away. Stopped smoking, then drinking, now fighting eating. Each time a bit less harmful. Of course this is not a tip, but maybe you too can find a way around yourself. Better still, way to stand up to yourself.
The life of a performer, the repetition, the touring, the time away from family... I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Having to repeat the same thing over and over and over again is maddening.
A very interesting and touching piece of work, I can relate to Chester’s battles, tho I was not S A, I was mentally and physically abused, following the death of my mother when I was a child, which lead on to my battle with depression. While linkin park are a fantastic band, their music, and Chester’s voice brings me comfort. Chester will always be a true legend, and has left a huge hole in the music industry as well as our lives. Rest in peace Chester , love u always ❤

I am very sad over his death, suicide is messed up, its a cowardly way out. RIP chester bennington many people loved you.
I’m legitimately screenshotting this to print and put in my journal too. We have so much in common and helped me make it to 30. This will remind me that what happened wasn’t because he wasn’t strong. But I can do better for myself as an adult than he got. And that’s all that matters in surviving, which is his legacy. A million people can’t save me but maybe I can save myself with the help of a few friends and family and accredited devoted people. And if I can’t? I’ll meet him and he’ll know I did my best. But I don’t think I’ll meet him for 70 years. Without his music I may have been there to greet him when he left this world
no, it's not cowardly only a simple-minded loser would say that. who ever thought up that saying had down syndrome. you cannot make up your own reality of the situation and then pretend its reality, if you want to call yourself a coward for committing suicide go for it but your words have no real meaning when talking about something you don't know. you are simply just repeating words that you have heard someone else say and pretending that its factual when it's a dumb thing for anyone to have ever said before. i think the saying was actual intended to reflect the person or people saying it and not the person who committed suicide anyway because they were in a distraught state of mind and angary who ever killed them self and now that saying is taking out of context and parroted and repeated by retard like you.@@benjaminbakker7643
Perfectly said…
In his songs he wrote he was reaching out for help and nobody got the messages may he rest in peace
"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about." I'll never forget those words.
I disagree with the quote. A quote like this speaks to the accepted power of ignorance or obstinance. Being vulnerable is weird, but being dedicated is divine. He was divine. Death is often the end of a tale poorly told though it is also the start of a story that can be told another way.
@@MrAnderson4569 ...What?
I wish EVERYONE who wants or did leave this existence heard the voice that I heard 40+ years ago telling me that it was wrong to kill (even yourself), that to do so is unforgivable (the ultimate sin).
Murder can be forgiven, you got it mixed up; blasphemy is the ultimate and unforgivable sin
@@antiquatedflatulence1607 Gotta ask... Who or what was the voice?
With depression you are fine one second and moments later something triggers you and you can be full on depressed almost out of nowhere.
I totally agree with you. I go thru those stages.. and it really sucks. You try to get out of it but it pulls you right back in!!!
A Thirteenth Step by A Perfect Circle was written by Maynard James Keenan who was friends with, Chris and Layne and suffered from Child Male on Male Sodomy. Also the loss of his Mother are all things which inspired him to write this LP which is the best lyrics which point out these Mental Health issues in a way that have helped many understand why certain feelings materialize. Only then can a person try to embrace the random to calm the storm within.
Some people will never understand depression no matter how much you try to get through to them. Its frustrating. only if you go through it can you recognize it. I remember the first video I saw of Chester and I knew without a doubt that Chester was a troubled passionate man.A smile can fool some but it shows in the eyes. I wish those close to him could have gotten through to him. One More Light is my very favorite song by Linkin Park. Miss you always Chester. I hope through him people see that we all matter. We all matter!!!!❤
he was murdered

Man… he was so talented. Through his trauma, his pain, his struggles, he ultimately made something so beautiful. Art. He did it so well. I know we all wish he would’ve received better throughout his life and that he definitely deserved better. Rest in peace, Chester.
By the way, is Chester's photo in the thumbnail Photoshopped to have injuries? It looked like it, If it's, that's a distasteful move.
A common movemadee by awful channels covering tragedies or the fall of RUclipsrs like SunnyV2.
@@jjhaya oh its definitely photoshopped.
He was my BFF
14:15 The fact that chester opened up and the interviewer just laughs its fucked. No wonder why men cant feel like they can open up
😢😢 ditto
Agreed, he opened up and the guy laughed. Not sure if it was out of nervousness but somehow Chester felt comfortable enough to talk about the autonomic negative thoughts (ANTS). I hope after the interview the host at least asked, "Hey man, are you alright? I'm always here for you, I mean it. Call me anytime, day or night, ya hear me?" 😢
"There's another Chester in there who wants to take me down."
Man, that's absolutely devastating to hear. Especially when you can relate. 😢
Same here. 'Hi Ren' says it very well.
@@loutsont2985I believe Chester and Ren would have been great friends if they'd met.
Yep I can relate to that
All those people thst booed him and threw stuff at him is partially responsible for his death. Not knowingly of course but your actions devastated him. Now everyone is so sad about his loss but didn't appreciate him as much when he was alive.
I have clinical depression and it can only be helped by medication. However getting to a low or depressed state can be caused very easily. I can't imagine how it feels to think that everyone (literally) is against you. Then you start to remember what your life has been like and then you're there.
Please think before you have an effect like this on someone.

That’s something with Robin Williams
The thing that hurts most for me is that people were so upset about the sound of the music that they never listened to the words. You can tell he was struggling, even if he didn't write the songs alone. My friends and I were actually writing a play/musical to Linkin Park's music when we heard about his passing. We wanted to turn it onto a memorioum to him in a way after the news broke, but 7 years later, the project, while technically finished, is dead in the water. I can't speak for the others, but I miss him greatly. Linkin Park was an important part of my formative years and is still my favorite band to listen to on a near regular basis. All the love to his family and the rest of the crew.
6 years on I STILL cannot process the fact that Chester has passed away. I've loved linkin park since I was 16 years old. I turn 35 next week - this band being part of my therapy.
I will be honest I have listened to them over the years too. There lyrics and beat match well. But to be honest their lyrics isn't what's really Upbeat, it's actually sad, most of their songs are sad. It also speaks about their emotional struggles. It would probably make you cry before you actually feel happy. I'm really not sure if that is a good therapy. Hmm the only comfort that I feel you may have gotten was that you knew they were going through some stuff and at that point so we're you. Perhaps that's the only reason you feel a strong connection. Probably your still at that same place. Hopefully not. Hopefully your past it and living a cheerful life
I feel you man. This man his music will always be a part of me.
same. absolutely same, i will forever be in denial. They were my childhood, my teenage years....
Did you also liked them after releasing that song?
@@ahti29 I've always loved them. every single album is a gem
I was molested at the age of 5. Never spoke of it until my late 40’s . People who have never been through it have no idea how it changes everything about you!! What happened to him caused him to self medicate, heavily, to push down those feelings. It’s what we do because we don’t know how to handle our feelings!! He did an interview where he said “Inside my own head is a bad place for me “ and I knew exactly what he meant. His passing affected more than any other celebrity death both me and my grown kids because they grew up listening to it with me. I hope you are now at peace Chester 🤘💚 ;

@@margieanderson8095 oh wow. I’ve always wondered if it was a family member who abused him. For some reason his lyrics make me think that

I hope all the people who booed and threw stuff at Chester are happy now. Just because the band wanted to go a different way for one album didn't mean they would never go back to their roots. We'll never know. Now all we have are memories. If you were a fan at all you knew Chester had demons. Way to kick somebody when they're already down. Miss you SO MUCH Chester.
Exactly my thoughts!So cruel to hit someone you claim to appreciate,in a time he just needs some peace of mind and support.I think that was the final drop,cause being a singer meant so much to him.He gave it all to the fans, and this is what he got back.Even if you don't like someone,you don't hit him when he's down.That's just cruel!
Chester wasn't a real man. A real man wouldn't kill himself and leave his kids in this hell of a world without him.

The duo of mike shinoda and chester was perfection. its like both of them can't be complete without each other in terms of music
Yes and also the music like the guitar parts fit perfectly to the lyrics I noticed.
Chester says in the Interview: "I don't know if anybody out there can relate, but I have a hard time with life. Sometimes. Sometimes it's great, but a lot of times, for me it's really hard. And no matter how I'm feeling, I always find myself struggling with certain patterns of behavior. I find myself stuck in the same thing that keeps repeating over and over again and I'm just like 'how do I end up?', 'how am I in this?'. I know that, for me, when I'm inside myself, when I'm in my own head. This place right here, this skull between my ears, that is a bad neighborhood and I should not be in there alone. My whole life gets thrown off if I'm in there. I don't say nice things to myself, like there's another Chester in there that wants to take me down."
This says everything - and I can relate.
😮😮😮
The other Chester got to him :((
I know exactly what he means - but one day you become terrified of yourself, terrified of what’s within you, terrified of facing the darkness of the past. This is the only way to release these demons in the soul, to go within, to work through these feelings and heal. I would have sat with him through any thought he had, any feeling - no matter how dark. You don’t have to be alone. I have baffled severe depression for many years to the point I couldn’t even talk. My family and friends were so scared of me. But I let myself break. I let myself fall into the depths in order to heal. I stopped smiling. I stopped pretending. And I looked within. I let my fake friends leave, I let everyone walk away. And I prayed to God for help. The Devil will use all of our traumas to kill, steal and destroy us - God will use all of our traumas to help others who have experienced the same thing. Please don’t end your life.

it's litterally just "number:number" it's not freaking difficult to do now is it?
@@lissakitty8657 come on, a little prespective! We see a tiny part of an interview, without them knowing the future, where Chester lightlly describes his brain as a bad neighborhood. At our point in time, we watch a video about his life, knowing what will happen. They didn't. And maybe this was a light interview, so laughing maybe was appopriate for the audience of the program.
Of course I can relate. Life sucks 85% of the time. No one cares. Everyone is quick to judge. Most people suck. There’s no one to talk to. I shouldn’t be alone with my thoughts either. It’s an everyday battle to love myself and choose life instead of ending it all. Chester Bennington will forever be missed 😔 stay strong out there 🕊️❤💐
Life wouldn't suck so much if everyone could remember what I learned a three years old. If you don't have anything good to say don't say anything. It's easy to stop judging someone, it's called mind your own business it's not your life. Now it seems like as people instead of looking for a way to make things better they're seeing who can get worse then the one before. Kindness from just one person could change a person forever.
Honey you're obviously better than those who hurt you and stronger. You're being real. I have pretty shitty thoughts too sometimes and it's easier get them out of my head when I watch the new, etc. I always see someone who has it worse then I do. Giving a positive thought to their need. Negative loses.
DITTO my friend ❤️😢🙏
This is not what depression is about … your life can be absolutely wonderful, people around you can be wonderful, everything being absolutely perfect … but you are sad … in a dark place … not knowing why … if your life is one big shitshow it is not surprising that it looks pretty dark inside your own head, in your thoughts … this is not necessarily depression emotionally reacting to pressure and stress is natural … no medication or therapy changes a shit life getting someone down … but it can lead to clinical depression …
I feel ya
I grew up listening to Linkin Park. His passing away hit me very hard, I was crying for a few days. Linking Park and specifically Chester will always be a part of me. Ironically, we wouldn’t have such a one-in-a-million band if Chester didn’t endure what he had to as a child. His legacy is a constant reminder for me to protect my own family from evil and don’t take life as granted, enjoying every damn day.
Agree 👍 10000%
Well said ... May you be ABUNDANTLY BLESSED my friend ... Light n love
Nice comment. I feel the same🙏💜👍
Deep down inside, Bennington was a man of God. The LORD knows he didn’t deserve any kind of mistreatment. He knows he deserved better.
I think we would still have a great band if Chester was not abused. Not only that, he would still be alive.
He survived so long with all his demons... Such a strong man he was... But sadly, at one point, it was too much to handle... RIP Chester.
He may have not been perfect, but at essence, he was always a great man. When I listen to Linkin Park’s songs, i feel like he’s still alive. I want to believe he’s still alive. 🙏
Chris' passing sure didn't help either! 😢

Depression is a serious disease. No matter how well one is doing…the mind will always prevail. I listen to his songs to remind myself that life is good. His anguish cries/screams and his art maturity has had him ridiculed. We all grow with feeling at the top of our game and feeling 50ff below rock bottom. I’ve attempted life twice and Chester’s songs have saved me and made me realize…I am not alone.
We wear masks everyday and people don’t even realize it 😢
@@reginarepp3639 word.
A story I may add...
I think it's bullshit when so called "fans" judge someone for making new music. Call yourself a "fan" of a song if it's certain songs one likes, a "True Fan" may have certain favorite songs of an Artist/Band, but still..they remain Unconditionally Loving & Loyal Fans.
Chester, We miss you down here bud!
R.I.P 🤘🏻💀
I’m a huge fan and have been for years, but I was one of the people who criticised the new song. Fans weren’t upset about the song - most thought it was an okay pop song. It was because they hyped up this new “rock” song and then when it was released it was clearly a generic pop song. He was just so used to everyone kissing his behind since 2000 that he couldn’t accept his fans had a moment of disappointment. He turned on his fans in a really awful way (telling them to kill themselves). I hate that my last opinion of him is so low, but I try to remember that he has demons and they may have been the ones speaking.
@@shambolicrhetoric6143 Fans were upset to the point where they were throwing things at him on stage, boo'n him and harshly judging which are all unnecessary and unacceptable. You don't have to like every song but in no way should ANYONE ever be treated like that. Period. And whether people care or not I'm sure that played a part of his relapse.
@@itsthespiceoflife “some” fans. Dude was a sloppy drunk and a coke head long before that song came out. All of his interviews in the years leading up, it was obvious he was on drugs.
I don't think people who like rock music only should be considered as Linkin Park fans. I loved the pop sound. One More Light is ahead of HT for me and others of next generation. Metal heads are annoying asf and can't handle when a band evolves from a dead genre. @@shambolicrhetoric6143
"down here" this is hell, hes in a better place.
So many people think it's easy to be inside their heads battling their demons but it can be overwhelming. Not everyone's demons are drugs and alcohol. Some demons people are dealing with stem from sexual abuse, neglect, lack of self-control, lack of confidence, negative self-image, and loneliness. I know there's more but you all get it. I'm always fighting my demons and the only reason I'm still here is because of my family. As an army veteran, it ain't hard to delete one's self. The wake-up for me was when Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington died because a lot of us soldiers listened to those guys a lot. It made me more aware of my own struggles so I seeked out behavioral health. I still battle my own demons but I feel I'm better equipped and grounded now. The fight is never over and I continue to rage against the dying of the light.
Keep fighting man. I may not know the full scope of what you're going through, but I'm rooting for you. I hope you make it through.
Linkin Park was the first music I listened to that wasn't rap or r&b. I used to get up and while getting ready for school, I'd put MTV on waiting for Crawling to come on. I was so afraid I would get in to trouble by my parents, I'd play it super low so they wouldnt hear it. It made me so happy, because he was explaining exactly what I was feeling. This was before mental health was taken seriously. It was so refreshing to listen to someone who was feeling what I was feeling.
I was working at a local thrift shop when I heard of his death 😢🖤
Soundgarden for me when black hole sun came on MTV😮 oh HELL YEA ALTERNATIVE MUSIC WAS IN TOWN❗❗❗
After Chester's Suicide...Linkin Parks music has such DEEP meaning that I never realized...you can really FEEL Chesters internal struggle...so sad what this man had to deal with mentally
He was murdered dammit
@@paulbean_me Why do you think that? I'm really curious
He was murdered because of the book that him and Chris had had. They got his ass because he wasn’t for once with his family
@@tomorrowneverknows what book?
@@tomorrowneverknows what you said proves absolutely nothing.....
I remember I was literally on the bus ride going to work listening to Linkin Park on Pandora radio when they mentioned that they were going to be here in Chicago. Not even 5 minutes after hearing that advertisement, my late fiance called me and said that Chester had committed suicide. I broke down so hard on the bus that a random lady came up to me and said "Everything was going to be okay" and handed me tissues. This band literally helped me and my brother through so much because our parents used to come home every Friday night after going to the bar and they would fight until the late morning hours play. I'll never forget that phone call.
I was listening to ‘Seasons’ by Chris Cornell when I found out he passed and was numb immediately. I’m sorry for your loss fellow human and pray you find comfort in this trip called life.
He used to be a regular where I work (Home Depot)really cool dude talked to everyone, worked on/ maintained his own home where he could. No rockstar attitude.
All the guys from Linkin Park are like that. No "star" disease...
He was down to earth.
That's awesome, God seems to take the good ones early.
Linkin Park saved me from myself when I was growing up in the 90s and 00s. They helped me to get over my own feelings of being a victim of bullying and SA. I was deeply saddened by Chester's passing. He may be gone, but he won't be forgotten.
Chester had complex PTSD and coped the best he knew how with his trauma. Such a brilliant talented man. He went through so much his whole life. Such a tragedy of his loss. RIP Chester.
Unfortunately my brother took his life on January 4th 2017 , Rest In Peace David . . Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington !
I am sorry for your loss 🫂🌹🙏
Sorry about your brother ❤ wishing you the best dude
I’m sorry for the loss of your brother ❤💔
I remember the first time i heard Hybrid Theory in 2000 when it came out... i was taken aback. This man was saying exactly what i was feeling. Trying to figure out life as a teenager and just having a breakup with my first girlfriend.
RIP Chester, you helped me more then you could ever know.
Yes I remember I was in 6th grade this truly shape my life to come during thise years .
Thanks to people like Chester, the stigma of child SA is swiftly going, at least for those who get old enough to speak out. That's an enormous legacy, on top of the music... ❤
I met him once, he was quiet but generous to us that were backstage. Was a lot of fun. I'll always remember that
Who was that interviewer with Chester that laughed loudly when he was pouring his heart out saying "this place between my ears is NOT a good place"? The incompetence is tangible. I will NEVER get over Chester's passing.
I always feel bad for Linkin Park when people hate and are rude to them. Such good people like them don’t deserve hate.
This makes me cry to this day, its one loss of a talented and awesome man that was such a huge part of my younger years. His lyrics still resonate in my very soul.
I miss Chazzy so much. It still seems it was just yesterday that he was taken from us! His music will be with us in our hearts forever.
I understand your sentiment, but I must respectfully disagree. While it's true that there are many talented and awesome people in the world, Chester was an exceptional individual who brought joy and inspiration to countless fans through his music. Although there are many talented and awesome people in this world, Chester was one of a kind. His loss is a great tragedy. The day he passed, I had wishful thought. Somewhere at the same time in the world, a mother has given birth to a baby, I hope he can find his way to and be reborn, who knows, he might pop up 15- 20 years old. I know too much Wishful thinking, but if I am to hear him again and everything I need to do is just dream that being reborn is actually a thing so beat! Although he might not look the same, we will recognize him definitely from the voice.
@@spikeonecs761 what are you smoking?
I 1000% agree with you!!!! My heart and soul cry every time I hear his music!!! I'll be 38 in January, and ever since they came out, I've been a fan and I too went through hell in my teen years and he was my saving grace!!!
Leave out all the rest. That’s what my kids gonna play at my funeral. I already told my family. Even though I’m still young, but I made my decision ❤ This is my favorite song.
I feel so bad for Chester, especially when Chris Cornell died. Chester and Chris were very close, and Chester viewed Chris, who was an idol of his, as a rock in his own life. When Chris died, Chester seemed lost.
My niece grew up with him. She knew him.
Very sad indeed. Not a coincidence he used the same method. Only saw him live once a very long time ago and I regret it was only that one time even though I live in Belgium. We miss you Chester ❤ hope you're at peace
@@ELOOCUY-bb9fzyou’re sad
It's tragic, that Chris Cornell's Death, wasn't seen, by Chester, as a warning sign.
He should have been focused on his kids. Sad that he's gone but like Chris it was just plain selfish and doing what they didn't didn't fix anything other than them and only fused heartache and pain for there families and millions of fans across the world! Suicide is not the answer I'm a veteran seen and been through allot if you need help or someone to talk too ask.. don't wait and if you see signs from someone take action.. don't shoulda woulda coulda 😢
People are so cruel, they feel that their opinions matter so much to criticize a bands music style without realizing that it affected Chester mentally. After he committed suicide those same people are probably crying "rest in peace" and "we miss chester"... they were the ones who added to his madness which devoured his sanity.
Sadly, accountability is lost to most people of the world today.
One man can save 1,000 lives, but 1,000 couldn’t save one man. I’m sorry Chester.
no sadly because they don’t usually remember that there favourite singers are human beings who have the same real life problems as the rest of the world, but i guess he was probably put on a pedestal by fans and yes men which i would think that chester would be uncomfortable with( especially since i have found out about his abuse and no one taking him seriously ) if like most sufferers of s.a which he hadn’t processed the trauma of it he most likely was full of shame ( shame is a bad emotion and the fact that most people don’t understand that toxic shame is not their shame and they don’t understand that shame is put on them and internalised guilt is felt but it is misplaced and some people struggle with anger and expressing it sadly and internalise it) he lost his validation friend
1,000 people are not capable of taking down a global child sex trafficking cabal. thats who killed him by "suicide"
Sounds better than what it actually says … those thousands have no real relevance at all as they neither know whats going on nor are they close enough … only those close to the person struggling can help and the person struggling needs to accept it …
🙄
I cried the day after I found out about his passing. His music helped me get through so much...I've always wanted to and even made plans to see the band in concert but never had that chance after that. Broke my heart
Lol
My cousins were going to see them in concert and Chester passed a week before. Heartbreaking to say the least 💔
What’s sad is the dude interviewing Chester when he was talking about his head being a bad neighborhood & the guy just laughed, bet he regretted that later. RIP Chester 🙏🏼
I was a fan of Linkin Park for years but I didn’t know any of Chester’s personal struggles. What a tortured soul. I hope he is at peace now.
Unhealed trauma becomes a “tortured soul.” Trauma fragments the soul. It gives the Devil a foothold in your life to release these thoughts of self hatred, depression and darkness. I know what it’s like because I’ve been there. God SAVES the soul. Know this. He will never abandon those who cast their burdens upon him

I'm not a fan of linkin park, but this recap of chesters' life is heartbreaking. His un-befitting demise must be devastating, not only to his friends and family, but his loyal fans too.
I hope his tortured soul has finally found the peace that he never found in life. RIP fella
It’s almost cruel that a man with so much could be so sad, a man with almost everything another man could ask for, it’s sickening that he could have been this sad the whole time, and that he didn’t get proper help with his problems and being left to rot his problems away, its terrible, Rest In Peace Chester Bennington, you will be remembered as the greatest man with the saddest story.
I downvoted the video for this reason.
He stood for so many of us I don’t know what I would do without his music
Same. We're all so lucky he was able to push onward and forward for as long as he did.
He showed all his fans the wrong way to handle your problems. That doesn't help anyone ! Same for Cornell & Kobain. All these guys, family and friends, and us fans had to deal with their loss so that they didn't have to deal with their lives anymore. How does that make them legends???
@@Damage-Case13 sometimes goodbye the only way
@@Damage-Case13, unless you've been there, you can't possibly understand what it's like.
Same here...
I heard a interview where he said no matter how he was feeling , when I'm with my kids all that shit doesn't matter , he like most spends his time alone reflecting on all the chaos in one's life , I can understand how someone like him could be overwhelmed , their was alot of turmoil at the time of his death , I truly believe Chris Cornells death had a profoundly bad effect on his mental state , the fans reaction to OML , and having 7 kids idk for a sensitive person thats alot to handle .
RIP we will always have a special place for him in our memories and hearts.
I still can't believe he's gone his voice was so powerful..and the lyrics relatable. Truly a great loss 😢
It's clear that his fans, in a way, betrayed him with One More Light. Now they want to praise him. We need to get past what our favorite musicians make for us, and appreciate it. The different tone doesn't mean someone sold out but that they have a different side they want to show as they grow and become older. RIP chester. Your demons have been released.
Fuc* those who said bad thing. Even chester Bennington said about his life a lot of time before sui****. But those suckers just wanted their gain.
I said this from day 1 when One More Light was released. Everyone around me was so angry with the album, but missed the point that artists are allowed to explore different angles of their craft. I enjoyed OML so much and appreciated it, so much so I was supposed to see and meet Linkin Park that July. A week before the show, he passed.
The album sucks, I can’t change that.
Of all the artists we have lost, I miss Chester the MOST of all them… like bad. It’s truly sad we will never hear his voice or new music ever again. 😢
My niece grew up with him. She knew him.
@@margieanderson8095 Do you have anything else to say about him, something new? Because you're repeating yourself in every comment section with this same sentence. If you don't mind, I would love to see some stuff from people who knew him. Not just the fact that they used to know him.
@@ZoeF.O There is alot to show. Her picture is among the friends on the albumns. Lyrics wrote on paper. Albumns. She grew up with him so there are things from Greydaze the band before Linkin park too. They remained friends. There is alot to show. Yes, I do have more to say. He did not commit suicide. He greatly loved his fans, his Children and his life.
I am 60 yrs old and recovering from a tragic life generated by my bad choices. It resulted in the brutal murder of the man I loved and was married to.
Chester Benningtons' rise and fall and the heart in the amazing music is one of the cornerstones that lend inspiration and give me strength on the long road to being functional. I disagree with anyone pushing their twist on his lifes ups and down because he is not here to defend his self...R.I.P young man. Thank you for your help from the grace.
I am only 16, but Chester's music has already helped me a bit. I am very sad that I didn't get to see Linkin Park live.
Stay strong young man I was 18 when I discovered LP I'm 40 now and their music still gets me through the darkest days
Chester was telling his story through his music. You can hear in his voice the pain he was in.
No one ever seen or felt that
😔 It's a true struggle when it's hard to open up and talk.
It was so obvious. Every line, every lyric. SO much pain.
True
I saw him live on stage just 4 weeks before his death at the Nova Rock festival in Austria.
It was the same as on Hellfest.
Many people booed and turned away when they played newer songs.
Chester then seemed frustrated, but for me, it looked like he gave in to the crowd and they changed to setlist mid-concert.
Back then I was ashamed of the "fans", but I remember being awestruck by Chester for being so "nice" to the fans, that he "gave them what they wanted".
Little did I know, that it was him surrendering.
It was not the reason for his downfall, but it was one of many pieces to a puzzle where the final picture is one hell of an ugly beast.
Rest in peace, Chester.
May your mind be a better neighbor to you wherever you are now.
Chesters' ability to scream some of his pain outward through the music LP created ultimately enables millions of others to scream their own pain outwardly by listening to his voice. LP and Chesters' vocal talent helps me to connect to my own altar, who forever tries to take me down. We are our own worst critic when in fact we should tell that critic to frell off! Litrally, outloud, telling it to frell off!!
I will never forget when I heard- I was driving having just left my moms house when they announced it.. I had to pull over to side the road, I had never wept like that over someone I didn’t know personally… but I felt like I grew up with him- with Linkin Park. Their first single came out my 10th grade year in highschool & they quickly became my favorite.. I felt every emotion he poured into those lyrics- and those songs were with me during some of my darkest days. Being diagnosed with BPD- struggling with that feeling of hating being in your own skin, feeling so utterly alone, & battling those ideation thoughts that were so relentless…. He really meant something to me & always will! He is a legend and will forever be missed
@@ELOOCUY-bb9fzHow rude. 🤬
His pain is in every song. I love the music and absolutely cried when he died, I know it’s stupid but I just hurt. I hope he is at peace. His voice and lyrics are always always in the background for me.
For those that are saying or even thinking that he was selfish for leaving his family in this way, you’ll never fully understand how much pain you have to be in to attempt an act like this. Every part of you believes that your loved ones will be unburdened, and therefore live happier lives without you. It feels like the greatest gift you could give the people you love ❤❤
Might FEEL like the greatest gift you could give but in reality, your family is DEVASTATED by it.
About 8 years ago my dad tried to commit suicide and I felt for him, been in his shoes. My brother on the other hand was so angry and called him selfish. I wish people didn't just see grey in these situations, it's not that simple. But when you feel that immense pain it feels like there is no other way out.
@QueenTeal yep. I had a friend who was married to one of my wife's friends from way back in high school. This guy had it made. Making big bucks, great family, many friends. But, he had depression for years and years. He was in pain but he hid it from everyone, although he did get counseling. On a random day, he drove out to the desert and shot himself.
People with everything, some of them still can't fight it. Chester is a prime example. A rock star, big bucks, great family. It truly is tragic.
Every song I listen to now, I can hear his cries for help. We didn’t know it then because his lyrics resonated with our soul. Now, I listen and hear him telling us in the lyrics he was not long for this world. He saved hundreds but not himself
Can we stop bleeping the word suicide? It s what is called. It should never be taboo. We gotta talk about it, save lives.
Because no telling how many miserable people watching the video might be triggered by the word to do the same. Of course, it’s pathetic to bleep any word, especially all those letter-hyphen-word words. YT covering themselves legally
One of the all time BEST bands ever!!!
There will never be another even close to Linkin Park!
They are so very missed
💯 Agree
Really? He seems like a little cry baby bich. I mean his greatest hit was in the first album and downhill ever since. Weak hearted
I say foul play on both Chris Cornell and Chester. And I stand by that with my whole heart....coming from a sensitive. RIP Chester and Chris.❤
I've heard the same, they supposedly working on an investigation on the child sex organizations overseas
Nope they are just selfish scumbags who decide to forever hurt their families in trade to end their own hurt. Stop trying to make excuses for them just because they made cool sounds.
@@JanoyCresvaYou have no right to speak at all. Chester was not a scumbag. He suffered with drug and alcohol abuse.
Neither was chris cornell a scumbag. If you don't have anything nice to say Move on with your life
@@JanoyCresvaExactly! I truly don't understand the celebrity worship going on with most of these comments. This guy, just like Cobain, was a drug addled selfish coward who happened to make some good music. Its sad.
I agree that he and Cornell were both silenced by the music, movie and political elite that the two of them were working on a documentary about the sexual abuse, trafficking and worse of those powerful groups. Look at John Podesta photo which many say is Chester's father.
I'm here on the day Linkin Park announced their new lead singer. Chester will never be replaced. But I'm so happy that Linkin Park will be on a stage again.
With a singer Chester wouldn't have approved
I suffer with a lot of the same things and I definitely can relate with him. His song crawling puts in words what I was going through everyday and could never explain to my family what I was going through. R.I.P. You put words to my feelings and helped me explain why I was the way I was.
This guy shouted the soundtrack of my youth, alongsinde people like Fred Durst and Corey Taylor...
I cant discribe, how much I miss getting new stuff from him... His lyrics helped me so much, not realzing, how much it took out of him...
He inspired my gamer name to 75%. I literally call myself Jestrix. (Combination of Chester and Asterix)
I miss this guy so much...
He is to me, what Paul Walker was to car people...
He is to me, what MJ is to Basketball fans...
He is to me, what Wayne Gretzky is to Hockey fans...
He is to me, what any idol to you is...
He was the one person, I never knew, who spoke right of my heart...
Linkin Part was the sound of a whole generation! And we will never forget our voice of the voiceless!!!
Hybrid Theory and Meteora were the only LPs in my life, on which I didnt skip a single song! Those were perfect albums...
THANK YOU CHESTER!!!
REST IN PEACE BROTHER!!!
Heartbreaking 💔 l Loved his Music l sing as loud as l can Crying R.I.P
People have literally said Cornell and Chester saw things they shouldn’t have and that’s why back to back they both passed
I'm on the same path, and I find comfort in Chester's words.
Well you don't know me from Adam but I am telling you, begging you, DON'T! I have been in the depths of hellish depression so many days of my life I'm still amazed I'm alive to type this... but obviously I never went through with it. Am I GLAD I didn't succeed the answer is YES, because suicide is A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO A TEMPORARY PROBLEM. And when we're in the very depths of our own existence you have no perspective and it seems like "I will always feel this way and I can't stand it anymore" is the place you arrive at. And the perspective is WRONG especially wrong when you are coming from such a place and just want the pain to stop.
From bitter experience I DO have some answers to what you should/MUST do right away! 1. COLD SHOWERS. No reason to torture yourself you can just stick your head in the cold water for several seconds because the point is, this is almost like a re-set for your mood, (which is your biggest problem at the moment)! Just get as much cold water on your body as you can withstand, without self-torture, do it for a minimum of two weeks, and do these sessions for at least one to ten minutes THEN tell me you don't feel better afterwards! (I did it, when I did it, at the very end of my regular warm showers, and just turned the temp handle to cold gradually.
2. Get yourself some good anti-depressants and get them fast, because You need ANTI-DEPRESSANTS I am not joking! But once again there is a caveat to this and it is called: ZOLOFT, about which, I must warn you in the most emphatic terms: DO NOT let them prescribe Zoloft to you! ANYTHING but that, because it made my depression 10 times worse!.
I have had good results with Paxil CR or Cymbalta, which to me, are the holy grail and will work wonders to snap you out of that mood that is urging you on to self-destruction! So start w those two things and do them today, and don't stop until your head is at the place where it is supposed to be or something approaching normality!
Hoping to not sound like a religious freak, I believe that the good always prevails. Keep focusing on the good, and the evil will have to bow down. I also have that toxic environment between my ears, but I know that it will be beaten, even though it will be the toughest battle of all. Keep fighting, it's worth it 💪❤
I was too bro,I say to you don't do it,turn away,go back to God, He saved me,He WILL save YOU.
@@f0st29 I just want to emphasize that there's also a way without the religious aspect. We all have the power in ourselves. But I also respect the belief in a higher power.
When you find yourself in a situation like you’re in, just remember to BE STILL
People need to do more research regarding Chesters and Chris Cornells passing.
Both was Soo eerily similar.
And the things they were fighting against makes everything more suspicious.
Rip to these two legendary singers.
Such range and tone with these two.
🤘
Strongly agree also don't believe either took their own life, just saying, elitist were involved no doubt
Absolutely! Cornell, Bennington, Avicci, Anthony Bourdain also!
I can go on and on but this video told the truth of what we’re supposed to think what happened….
So go and google “The Silent Children” which was a documentary funded by Chris Cornell and then was cancelled after his death. “The Silent Children” was about sex trafficking. Then google Chris Cornell’s autopsy with 9 broken ribs? 2 different 911 calls, one told about a bloody gash that was on his head and the other didn’t. It was visible if you saw his last show. Also the coroner never put that in the autopsy about his head. That’s just my opinion so I’m stating what I think.
Also more people involved. Also google about the recycling project in Haiti, which Lincoln Park was involved in.
Im sorry but that’s my opinion….I’m not a negative person at all and don’t want to argue with anyone on here. I care too much and I’m still learning so much more. I first met Chris Cornell in 1988. I think of him every day because he has helped me my whole life through his music. He was my favorite of all time. My Legend! RIP Chris and Chester and others🌸❤️
@@jennirusso6862absolutely! What about Brittany Murphy also being linked! It’s so sad…
This is the section I was looking for. I have said this since day 1 of him passing. He was in the middle of exposing something. I think him and Chris both were part of exposing truth and I believe they were targeted because of it.
@@chenisefrancis1989 google… Chris Cornell Mena Arkansas
When he said there was another Chester inside his head saying awful things to him, that just gave me chills. Who knows how awful normal life was for him. One thing is for sure, his act of self destruction touched the hearts of so many souls who loved him, including me.
He had the most incredible voice I've ever heard. Together with the rest of Linkin Park, they had a unique sound. I still find myself humming their songs. God give you peaceful rest Chester.
Beautiful video and homage to such a good person dealing with some personal issues or demons. My son suffered through the same and tried to end his life 3 times. Hard to say that in 2017 my son took Chester's death to heart and sought help. He is now entering 5 years leading with a different view of life. Sadly, Chester had a lot to do with his own turnaround. He and I loved Linkin Park and my deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Chester, we continue to listen to your art and talent. Hope you have found peace now, brother. 🙏
A lot of his lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks severe depression ptsd abuse ive been through addiction ive beat but the after shocks never go away ,rip chester thanks for the amazing music 💯
Men “fans” never learned, people on social media feel entitled to tell musicians, what to make or what to do, One more light is a great song, and if the band made it is cuz they had a good feeling about it. People on the internet push people way to far, Chester was in a bad place and so called “fans” just helped make things worst. Shotout to the real fans who always supported him.
THIS is the only time I ever cried for the death of a celebrity. The total annihilation of my music world died that day, for Chester and LP. It'll never be the same. My husband went through some tough shyte. He passed in 2004. I likened him to Chester, and LP became my world. The saddness. Complete total world changing sadness. :'( Devistation indeed.
I pray Chester forever rests in peace & love.His story cuts like a knife, his life so much like my brother’s. My brother died July 15, 2014. My life, forever changed. He was my only brother.
The problem with depression/sue-ah-side is that those who are... feel they are a burden and the world would be better without them 😢 It's so sad as those left behind will forever ask, "Why? What could we have done?" 😢 with deep sadness. 💔
Сердце Честера такое большое, доброе, любящее разбилось на миллион осколков, и теперь эти осколочки попали в сердца его поклонников. С уходом Честера часть его души живет в нас. Ты жив- мы тебя помним!
Miss him so much.

I can't imagine what it must be like knowing your music is saving millions but can't save yourself :(
This man changed my life when I was 8 years old. I discovered Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Through experiencing these powerful compositions of music I had been shown that it’s okay to express heavy, uncomfortable emotions that my parents never allowed me to express while growing up, without punishment. I could not have possibly comprehended at the time but this was a profound point in my life, very impactful. To this day when I listen to those albums I instantly am filled with a feeling of electricity, visceral, raw emotional energy being freed up & flowing through my body. I experienced significant trauma over my first 7-8 years of life and it has been impacting me ever since, now 20 years later. This man Chester Bennington I am forever grateful for. He did more for me than my parents ever did as far as giving me permission, showing me that it is okay to express how I am feeling no matter what that may be. After years of keeping things bottled up throughout my teenage years & early adult life I started to explore and express the emotions, thoughts, feelings I had been experiencing. While I am still struggling, I am also beginning to embrace change, self growth, personal transformation.
Thank you Chester,
I love you 💚🪬
i dont really believe in heaven or hell etc etc, but theres surely a special place there for those people who threw shit at him...
Chester..... .so loved. So missed.
Chester will always live in his music some of it seriously haunting to those of us who also fight our inner demons
I Love Linkin Park❤
Chester didn’t deserve the pain he went through….
The words are sexual assault and suicide.
RUclips banning words is fucked up. How can we address issues and help others if words are banned?
hiding the words, instead of exposing them; when SA and sui;cide are so real and plentiful ard the world. how can we solve something that is bleeped in word and in hearing? Oh, prince of the Air, how cunning thou art...
This is one thing i had feared and still fear to this day. and to hear his passing really hit home to me. i have been able to seek help and have been able to open up about what had happened to me for 12 years of my young life. i hope others who have gone though the hells of life are able to find the help they need and able to live the best life they possibly can. As a male survivor of SA i can tell you its not easy, but it can be done and know youre never alone.
I got the chance to go to the last LK concert in BK NY, and my wife didn't want to go with me. It was my dream since I was a teenager growing in Ecuador. I regret everyday not having the balls to go by myself and see him. S.I.P Brother Chester, you will always live in our hearts 🖤🖤🖤
Same
Last time in Amsterdam i tought i will go next time. 😢 thankfully i went to a concert in 2002 so ive seen them once in my life .but still regret i didnt go the last time 🙁
Wow, I have loved your music for years, Chester. You brought my Daughters and I together. We all loved your music and ultimately, you. I’m so sorry that there wasn’t really anyone there to see clearly. But thank you. Thank you so much! ♥️
tragic - i loved Linkin Park, and i loved Chester's voice, truly one of the greatest - i miss you
when you say SA and bleep the word suicide you silence victims voices, dont give into social media shi# culture, speak up, speak out..
Agree 💯 %
his video would’ve been taken down from RUclips, that’s why he couldn’t say those things
Nobody's voices were silenced by him saying SA and bleeping some words. We all knew what he was saying.
@@Ben_Jones speak for yourself
@@scottgust9709 you knew what he was saying, and so did I.
I saw Linkin Park live before his passing. It's so sad to hear his story. I'm an alcoholic, but I don't do drugs, because I saw my dad slowly die from drugs. I guess alcohol is a drug. I grew up with it. Both parents died (my mom from heart issues). I also have depression. So I can kind of relate. I have all of Linkin Park's Albums, by the way.
I hope you find a way to stop drinking!
@@pistashleyo5897 I'm working With my GP (doctor) on that because I don't want to go to the hospital again. They try to overdose me on drugs to the point that I don't remember being there! Fuck that
Alcohol is classified as a depressant. Not the best thing for someone suffering from depression.
Hi punchpressqueen75.Sorry to hear about your depression.
What I did is, change the tools for making me away.
Stopped smoking, then drinking, now fighting eating.
Each time a bit less harmful. Of course this is not a tip, but maybe you too can find a way around yourself. Better still, way to stand up to yourself.
The life of a performer, the repetition, the touring, the time away from family... I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Having to repeat the same thing over and over and over again is maddening.
It will never be the same and hasn't since then.
A very interesting and touching piece of work, I can relate to Chester’s battles, tho I was not S A, I was mentally and physically abused, following the death of my mother when I was a child, which lead on to my battle with depression. While linkin park are a fantastic band, their music, and Chester’s voice brings me comfort. Chester will always be a true legend, and has left a huge hole in the music industry as well as our lives. Rest in peace Chester , love u always ❤
One of the most talented people I have ever had the privilege of knowing BEFORE the fame and I still cry over his loss.
