I've heard people scream bloody murder when they break anything and Chester's like "ahhh" a little. Even when he broke his arm he barely winced. Both times he still performed. He's a fucking beast. A motherfucking beast.
I had the same thing. When I was 13 I broke both bones completely in my left arm, overextended my wrist and dislocated my thumb (all at the same time), but I wasn't screaming or crying or anything. It's a strange sensation, it hurts, but aches more than anything. So yeah, me and Chester are basically the same. Apart from the going on to continue performing in front of thousands of people straight after, of course.
ReeceS95 Jeez you broke both bones? Damn. I'm 14 and back in October I broke my right radius completely, tore three ligaments in my right wrist, and dislocated my right elbow while playing soccer. I didn't scream out, but I was cussing under my breath after I got up. And I was just cleared by my doctor a week ago, that's how long the recovery was. And similarly to Chester, I broke it during a fun scrimmage with my team after school.
echo_503 Yeah both, complete fracture from climbing and falling off a 7/8ft fence that I could have walked around. They had to put wires through the bone marrow so my arm could still grow while it was healing. I had my arm in a full cast for a few months, then had a removable cast until it was healed, which was about a year later. Doctor said I was lucky the bone didn't shatter or break skin. Now I'm 19, and when there is an opportunity to walk around something I take it
He break his wrist, he break his ankle....one week ago he break our hearts......into million pieces..... Chester B...thank you so much for your music, your voice....you will be missed man ♡
You can see he felt like he let everyone down , so sad to look back and know he is gone , he lost what he thought he didn't deserve . RIP you made a difference .
I think the worst thing about watching this video is the fact that Chester stated in an interview in 2017 that this was one of the first things that led him back into his severe depression... god that fucks me up
I remember him coming on stage in Indianapolis with a broken leg. He gave a small speech about his broken leg, and said, "I wont let a fucking broken leg stop me from performing to you guys." That made everyone there so damn happy..
Watched some of the last interviews from Chester Bennington and he cites his breaking his ankle in 2015 as sliding him into depression. Had to stop touring, had to quit STP, medication, surgeries, pain, etc leading him to fall back into bad habits... it’s crazy how such small moments in time, like playing pick up basketball before a show in Indianapolis and breaking his ankle going for a layup and landing on a water bottle could so greatly affect the next 18 months of his life. It was in this time that inspired “One More Light” and as I’m sure everybody knows, it’s a pretty dark record, lyrically, aside from having upbeat, pop melodies.
Yeah, this injury is actually a major reason why the later things happened. Chester was used to run around 24/7, but after this injury he literally couldn't do anything. Multiple surgeries, countless days just sitting doing nothing. Super sad :(.
I got the same fracture as the chester had... Believe me it's so depressing u can't do anything besides lying on bed. But thank God I did not need surgery for that... And now it's been 1 yr since I had a fracture of right ankle.. it's completely fine
The REAL superstars right there ladies and gentlemen....... Billions of album units sold and not a single sign of arrogance. When stardom can't affect them, nothing can and they will always be the best. They talk to their fans like they're family. They spend their spare time like any average person does playing games, messing around. That childlike cheerfulness even after singing hundreds of songs about problems in a person's life.......Coming out to not only meet the fans but also to perform on stage with a broken ankle. These are the guys who inspire me the most........... Not just for music, for life.
the albums sold by linkin park is not in "billions",it's less than 70 million but still they have one of the best heart, they are dedicated and did not let stardom hit their ego
Okay I didn't check the numbers that time but you get my point right? It's not a billion but it's more than 70 million (I just checked). And with their new album's release, who knows maybe they actually will hit the billion sales mark. I believe it's because of piracy that the sales haven't reached that point yet. Plus, there's RUclips so...... 😀😁
what?? 1 billion= 1000 million...how can they sell more than 930 million more albums??? nobody sold more than 110 million album and that was michael jackson's thriller...
This goddamn bottle is what started it all. He told in an interview that all that rest he had to do because of this injury put him back into severe depression.. how much do I wish to go back in time and move that stupid bottle out of his way.. who the hell left a water bottle on a basketball court anyway. It's scary how little things in life are so significant in shaping your destiny... I really wish that Chester comes back, somehow. I really wish someone saved him. Can't really move on! Thanks for everything CB. ❤
Sethrash yep. Just watched Chester’s final interview with BILD. Breaking his ankle in 2015 put events into motion that would eventually lead to his death. Life is very cruel.
@@Toru_01 He said that though, in the last interviews he made, he admitted that this injury took him to a very dark place and he was drinking and doing stuff again, in addition to the death of close friends.
Think about it. After he broke his his foot he wasn’t able to do anything but be less Mobile and if your a person who knows depression being immobile and just sit in your room sucks. Intrusive thoughts start to come in and his lifestyle changed. When your depressed you try everything in your power to change your thinking but for Chester he broke his foot and he couldn’t do anything. A domino effect. How sad is it that a water bottle would be a indirect big factor in his death. The injury wasn’t the main reason but it played its part. When Chester mentioned in a interview The “other Chester” I knew what he was talking about cause in my depression war I had to deal with my other self who wanted to destroy me. A part of me that’s evil. Sorry Chester
Chester Bennington is one of the most talented musicians of all time and this video shows that he's not only talented but one of the most respectable not only artist but people I have ever met in my life. I was at the show in Nashville, TN and it was one of the best nights of my life. Once I heard that Chester had broken his leg right before the next show I just couldn't believe it. I felt so bad for not only all of the fans that bought tickets for the tour dates but the band as well, because if you have ever seen them live or watched any of their live showed online you will notice how much they care about their fans and how much passion and thought they put into their music. I felt so bad for Chester because when I met him at the Meet and Greet in Nashville, he was so excited to play the show, and that so far the Tour had been incredible. When Chester broke his ankle right before the next show and I found out that he still went on and did a full show, I was just amazed. Chester Bennington is one of the people I look up to most in my life and couldn't ask for a better role model. I have so much respect for Linkin Park, and the music they put out in every single one of their albums is incredible and unique. Thank you to the members of Linkin Park for inspiring me to create my own music and giving me so much music to enjoy over the past many years. Linkin Park for Life!!!
Cyphera, thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt comment! My sentiments are exactly the same, about Linkin Park and about Chester. I think some people have a tendency to see their favourite artists as deities, I like to think more in the lines of that it is exactly because we are all ¨just¨ people, and that ¨just being human¨ can make you amazing enough, and that it´s great to celebrate and encourage these moments of brilliance. I guess you feel the same. ^_^ I am so happy you got to meet Chester at the meet and greet! I unfortunately have never seen Linkin Park live due to a chronic illness that took off during my late teens, thankfully before that I got to see Chris Cornell and Warrel Dane (Nevermore/Sanctuary) who are for me among my most loved artists ever. Beautiful souls; Warrel Dane, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Nick Menza, Tim Calvert, Chuck Schuldiner, Cliff Burton, Jimi Hendrix, Chris Wood, David Bowie, Rory Gallagher, Amy Winehouse, and last but NOT least, Chester Bennington!!! Rock In Power!!! Legends Never Die!!! x\m/x
That's so true. God bless that man. But wait, could I ask you? What happened to Chester's lips that made him get stitches? Didn't realize that? Do you know by chance?
@GregoryBoissy I know this is late! but just in case you're wondering. Chester had a broken wrist at the time and was playing tennis with the other members of LP, he took a hard swing with the racket and squared himself in the face which left a deep cut to his upper lip (that went all the way through to the other side😬) he ended up needing stitches.
Rewatching all of these old LPTV episodes almost makes me forget that Chester is dead. It kind of preserves who he was in a nice, easy to watch, series.
Kris Turner I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again
Thomypark You're damn right about that. RIP, Chester. And, since he loved his fans, well, I'm a huge fan of both him and Linkin Park, and, I'm planning on, paying tribute to him this year, on March 20th, at my high school, because, when Chester was born, he was born, on March 20th, 1976. And, on what would be his next birthday, he died, when he was only 41 years old, and, I'm planning on paying tribute to him, this year, on March 20th, at my high school, along with my friends, who are also fans of Linkin Park, and, post our tribute to him, on social media, such as, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and, on Instagram, but mostly here on RUclips, for our own tribute to him. He deserves a tribute, from huge LP fans of him. And, well, I'm also like, because I was thinking of this for a while, if Linkin Park paid tribute to him from last year, I thought to myself, well, why can't my friends and I, also pay tribute to him? So, that's why, we're planning on, having a tribute concert of our own, for him this year in March, on March 20th, 2018.
He's really awesome for even making jt out to one concert even though he broke his ankle. They said he would need plates and screws if his bone even shifted SLIGHTLY. Justin Bieber got a waterbottle to the face and quit the show. Chester got a water bottle to the bone and continued despite impending doom. You da real mvp
Nands Peartree yep. Just watched his last interview with BILD. He talks about this injury sending him into depression for the next 18 months. I can now understand why “One More Light” is such a dark album lyrically. I can’t help but think “what if”? What if someone hadn’t put that water bottle in that spot? Chester never brakes his ankle, finishes the HP tour, continues to work out, doesn’t quit STP, doesn’t have to take medication and fall back into old bad habits. Maybe he’s in a better place in 2017 to deal with the loss of his friend Chris Cornell? It’s really sad to think about, but I think I’m finally starting to understand what Chester was going through before he died.
When I turned thirteen I went to this as part of my families first concert when you turn thirteen tradition. It was truly a amazing experience. Chesters ability to preform even though he was injured really inspired me.
I rewatch this video and it's hurt me. Ofc Chester is so respectable here. He shine even when his ankle is broken... But I understand that his lastest depression started with this. He said in many 2017 interviews that he was so suppressed by the tour was canceled. This served as a reason to material for the "One more light" album, and you know that it's very sorrowful songs. If there wasn't this fucking bottle, he could be here right now...
i had the same injury, i was afraid to move until my surgery, i CANNOT believe Chester went to the meet and greet and did the concert. ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR HULK
I was honored to see him that night with my son's first concert . He left a big impression on my son and I that night to play on with broken ankle . I'm glad this was recorded so now we can relive a great concert by a great singer which is sorely missed.😢
Chester was one of the finest souls of the century. He was a border line genius. Really smart people often feel trapped in their own head. His high notes and vocal range is unmatched along with his loud screams. His voice was also soft and melodic just check any song from One more light album. Chester was a rare gem that we lost.
Guys, Mark Wakefield is still alive. He left the band when they were still called Hybrid Theory. He works as a band manager for other bands, but he and Mike are still friends.
+Brian Long I know....sort of. It wasn't really confirmed tbh. The main point here is the song is a tribute to somebody. If it wasn't Mark Wakefield, its a tribute to somebody else. EDIT: Removed my previous post to avoid misinformation.
ChesterKiwi The Great didn't he play guitar in that? The few linkin park songs that come to mind are Dedicated, I have not begun, sold your soul to your mama (Linkin park does have a sense of humor) Some of the reanimation stuff, and cure for the itch.
matthew Singletary ***** Had a long explanation typed out and clicked the back button...but no. Chester is not on Session. And Cure for the Itch is all Joe Hahn. All of The Rising Tied is Mike except where noted (guest vocals, Hahn's scratching, Bobo's Latin drums on Believe Me). I Have Not Begun was going to be a Fort Minor song, so same case. Dedicated is devoid of Chester completely, just like other Mike songs such as Step Up. Sold My Soul to Yo Mama is a remix/mashup done by Mike and Joe of three (I believe) Hybrid Theory songs. The only things Chester contributed to Reanimation were vocals. Guitar was all Mike, and most samples were courtesy of the remixers (some were from Mike though). And cello by Phoenix and strings by David Campbell's group. The only song that might have guitar played by Chester Bennington is War, which was almost entirely written by him.
ChesterKiwi The Great I did not know about session, but everything I said after "come to mind" is all songs that I thought were not supported with Chester. I know Chester played guitar during one of the concerts, but thought he exclusively played instrumentals.
I hope Chester knows what an amazing trooper he is. There are bands that cancel shows over NOTHING. He still performed when he was risking extremely serious complications. I hope he knows he doesn't need to apologize. Chester is a role model for giving it your all.
Knowing this was kind of the beginning of the end it just makes me wish it never happened, but it did he is so missed and probably never knew what he meant to us all and to all that loved him , idk what he went through in His last moments but it really just crushes me to know this man was so sad and hopeless , life is just so cruel.
al112v4 what did he say? I mean it's really Hard for me. I want a FM Album so hard and mike is playing with us instead of telling us if he's gonna make another Album.
Skatemaster3000 Well, he blacked out the Fort Minor FB page and created a Twitter and Instagram account. They link back to mikeshinoda.com. He's definitely up to something!
Ok but like, whoever made the music come in at "Every step that I take is another mistake" is a fucking genius, I went from cringing through the whole video and I am crying laughing at that because it's so fucked up and hilarious xD
So many singers would of called the show. But no...you Rockstared up and put on a Stellar performance! I know that had to of been killing you...even with your scooter... Kudos to you for being a kickass frontman inspite of it!
I was at the opening show in west palm beach florida 2014 and I believe you had a back injury and came out and played anyway. Thank you for that because it was life changing to see you guys.
eduarda cavani If you watch the final BILD interview with Chester you’d know this video of him breaking his ankle was the beginning of the end... RIP Chester
broke my ankle too and got depressed because it stoped me from sports and other plans I had.. and Chester had so much more stuff going on, man I wish him all the best where he is now...
Awesome to have them share that video with us. Met all the guys at M&G in Phoenix and they, especially Chester, are so kind and down to earth. Love them all! Hope he's better now and make up those shows for their fans.
I love the hunting party, living things, and all the "new" stuff, but undoubtly hybrid theory and meteora are 2 of the best. Never will ever forget both albums. Every single track still keeps playing on my mind.
was looking for the definition of a true artist everywhere, didnt expect to find it here.......hats off to u guys,u guys are a true inspiration to me......
Firstly, get well soon Chester... Secondly, can you imagine what would happen if Chester screamed like he was screaming in Given Up after breaking his ankle. Legendary. I would buy that CD.
The fact that Chester has wanted to do the show after his breaking ankle is very very impressive and beautiful. Chester loves his fans and he is very brave. I wish him a very good reestablishment. Love you Linkin Park the best group ever!!!
Wow now I know the full story to Chester's broken leg. I was gonna go to the pittsburgh show right after this Indianapolis show but i was so sad when it got cancelled. And I was going to go to the Hershey blinkin park show before the news of Chester passing. My family just wasn't meant to see LP live i guess:(
Chester, you're amazing, dude. Love your music, and I love how you and the rest of the band get along so well together, hope you continue the tour, and get better. Linkin Park is one of my role models, and always will be!
i cant help thinking that this was it, what spiralled him out of control and into a phase of his depression that was ultimately what led him to - i mean, a water bottle. I know this thing has so many layers, but i cant help thinking what would have happened if he hadnt injured himself here...
Nate River you are absolutely correct. I’ve been trying to understand Chester’s death for months, but after watching the full BILD interview, his last interview, and now watching this video, I am convinced that it was this moment that Chester’s life took a turn for the worst. Life can be so cruel. One minute you’re happy go lucky, enjoying life, touring the new record, playing b-ball with friends... then the next moment, you break your ankle on a water bottle, a freak accident that sends you down dark path for the next 18 months, compounded by other events that you could likely have dealt with better had you not broken your ankle, making exercise and activity impossible and leading Chester to more pain, medication, and old habits. It’s so crazy and so sad. This video really was the beginning of the end if you ask me. RIP Chester.
every step that I take breaks my own fucking leg, oh nooooooo :D broke his fuckin ankle still went to the meet'n'greet and played the show. He loved what he did. It's so tragic and devastating he's gone..... I will forever remember you and your lyrics Chester until I die. Thank you
This just breaks my heart. He couldnt work out to help with his anxiety an depression which he prob used to help him. I think this time during breaking his ankle was the beginning of the end sadly. He did break his sobriety during 2016. 3 day blackout. But geezzz we are all human! Poor guy. I know what its like in a way. I mean I worked in Orthopedics. Tearing ligaments and tendons is way worse than just bone. Long time to heal. An he shows up an tries! I mean thats awesomeness. Ugggg. Its just sad. RIP. We love you still.
A. Clemence exactly. I just watched his last interviews and now this video, and it’s pretty clear that this moment, shattering his ankle in 2015 was the beginning of his slide into depression. Those next 18 months are what inspired “One More Light” and as I’m sure we’re all aware, it’s a pretty dark record lyrically. I think Chester was finally starting to get back on track in early 2017, but the Chris Cornell died which probably just felt like pile on to Chester. It’s so sad. It just goes to show how unfair life is. A simple moment of playing pick up basketball and breaking his ankle on a water bottle could turn his whole life upside down for 18 months, probably leading at least partially to his eventual suicide.
I had tickets to see them in Pittsburgh on this Tour. Chester broke his ankle and the tour got canceled. A few years later I was planning to see them again and found out he had passed. LP has been so hard to listen to ever since but they will always be my favorite band.
This man was very strong. I bet that if I was him I wouldn't be able to get back up on that stage, I would be in so much pain. He taught me a lot. 1 like = 1 prayer that we will all get to meet him in heaven.
They're an awesome group and I loved this tour. During the show Chester jumped into the crowd and mike said aww people are crying! And Chester said they're tears of happiness in just the most nonchalant way. Then the stage engineer started the lights and synths too early while Mike was thanking the audience and he was just like whoa hold on a sec buddy.
I hope your recovery goes well so that you can continue with your awesome sound. I've been a fan since day one and unfortunately I have never been to a concert being that I live in New York, still waiting for you guys to come here. But Chester recover soon man. Peace.
I could have sworn before watching this video that I can like each and every video uploaded by Linkin Park. Hats off Chester for still performing. Get Well soon !
Chester lands on a water bottle, fucks up his ankle, still performs. Justin Bieber GETS HIT with a water bottle and cancels the whole show. Chester for the fucking win people! #RestInPeaceLegend
I was stoked about the tour. They were coming to Edmonton and I paid a ton of friggin' money for the amazing view I was gonna have, but it is what it is. Shit happens, we're only human. I'm just glad Chester is better now.
This is why I love this band so much. No matter what happens to them or anything else they're always willing to do anything for their fans no matter how horrible the situation is
I'm SOOOO thankful Chester gave Indy a try, it was the best night of my so glad I met them all, you can even see me standing in front of Phoenix at about 6:56
Linkin Park was to play in Edmonton AB, Canada on this tour, Valentine's Day February 14, 2015. The injury cancelled this show.... Hope you have found peace, and resting well Chester. Thank you for your time with us. R.I.P
I've heard people scream bloody murder when they break anything and Chester's like "ahhh" a little. Even when he broke his arm he barely winced. Both times he still performed.
He's a fucking beast.
A motherfucking beast.
At least he didn't break his leg snowmobiling like my dad
He's just not making a big fucking deal about it
I had the same thing. When I was 13 I broke both bones completely in my left arm, overextended my wrist and dislocated my thumb (all at the same time), but I wasn't screaming or crying or anything.

no, it means that the song has a meaning for everything, even water bottles lol

I have a broken ankle right now and i couldn't imagine doing a gig

Did he have to quit medication or was he just put on extra because of the ankle?
Victoria extra I think
Yeah, this injury is actually a major reason why the later things happened. Chester was used to run around 24/7, but after this injury he literally couldn't do anything. Multiple surgeries, countless days just sitting doing nothing. Super sad :(.
So that means I saw the beginning of the end. Because I was at the Indianapolis show that night.

Man Chester is clumbsy, but such a trooper. Playing with broken wrists, stiches in his lip and broken ankles. I truely admire the man.
That's so true. God bless that man. But wait, could I ask you? What happened to Chester's lips that made him get stitches? Didn't realize that? Do you know by chance?
@@GregoryBoissytennis (MTM 2007 at Singapore)
In fairness to him, it was someone else's fault this time. Someone left their water bottle on the court and he landed it
@GregoryBoissy I know this is late! but just in case you're wondering. Chester had a broken wrist at the time and was playing tennis with the other members of LP, he took a hard swing with the racket and squared himself in the face which left a deep cut to his upper lip (that went all the way through to the other side😬) he ended up needing stitches.
Chester is a fucking warrior. So much respect for him.
his little "aaah" broke my heart !! Damn Chaz... Get well soon. We love you
Rewatching all of these old LPTV episodes almost makes me forget that Chester is dead. It kind of preserves who he was in a nice, easy to watch, series.
that one step was indeed a mistake :D
CAUSE I'M STEP CLOSER TO THE EDGE, AND I'M ABOUT TO BREAK!!!!! Lol I see what you did there😂
Kris Turner I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Kris Turner Hey, I like my own too .
Yeah , I know.
big respect for chester for playing shows with a broken ankle!
It's amazing how he keeps making jokes while he's hurt 😂 he truly was an amazing person R.I.P Chester
It's really sweet of Mikey at the end of the video to say: "After us there should be no more so for one last time people make some noise for Chester"
R.I.P Chester, you will be missed and will be remembered as the fucking badass and legendary rockstar and kind soul you were.
Thomypark You're damn right about that. RIP, Chester. And, since he loved his fans, well, I'm a huge fan of both him and Linkin Park, and, I'm planning on, paying tribute to him this year, on March 20th, at my high school, because, when Chester was born, he was born, on March 20th, 1976. And, on what would be his next birthday, he died, when he was only 41 years old, and, I'm planning on paying tribute to him, this year, on March 20th, at my high school, along with my friends, who are also fans of Linkin Park, and, post our tribute to him, on social media, such as, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and, on Instagram, but mostly here on RUclips, for our own tribute to him. He deserves a tribute, from huge LP fans of him. And, well, I'm also like, because I was thinking of this for a while, if Linkin Park paid tribute to him from last year, I thought to myself, well, why can't my friends and I, also pay tribute to him? So, that's why, we're planning on, having a tribute concert of our own, for him this year in March, on March 20th, 2018.
How many other present day performers will break their ankle, then come out to laugh with and sign autographs with their fans? Probably not many.
He's really awesome for even making jt out to one concert even though he broke his ankle. They said he would need plates and screws if his bone even shifted SLIGHTLY. Justin Bieber got a waterbottle to the face and quit the show. Chester got a water bottle to the bone and continued despite impending doom. You da real mvp
So sad, I've watched interviews and I know that it really bought him down, breaking his ankle. RIP Chester
Nands Peartree yep. Just watched his last interview with BILD. He talks about this injury sending him into depression for the next 18 months. I can now understand why “One More Light” is such a dark album lyrically. I can’t help but think “what if”? What if someone hadn’t put that water bottle in that spot? Chester never brakes his ankle, finishes the HP tour, continues to work out, doesn’t quit STP, doesn’t have to take medication and fall back into old bad habits. Maybe he’s in a better place in 2017 to deal with the loss of his friend Chris Cornell? It’s really sad to think about, but I think I’m finally starting to understand what Chester was going through before he died.
When I turned thirteen I went to this as part of my families first concert when you turn thirteen tradition. It was truly a amazing experience. Chesters ability to preform even though he was injured really inspired me.
this dude, had been singing with his broken ankle, broken wrist. broken heart. broken soul.
Watch a brand new episode of LPTV: ruclips.net/video/7TM_-iOMlaE/видео.html
4EVER !!!
LP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chester bennington rocks!
Chezzy Chazz !!! Love you ♥
Linkin Park 4ever!! ❤
I rewatch this video and it's hurt me. Ofc Chester is so respectable here. He shine even when his ankle is broken... But I understand that his lastest depression started with this. He said in many 2017 interviews that he was so suppressed by the tour was canceled. This served as a reason to material for the "One more light" album, and you know that it's very sorrowful songs. If there wasn't this fucking bottle, he could be here right now...
I miss you so much. Your courage, your smile, your dedication. I can't put words to this pain. I just miss you so much.
Chester breaks his ankle: ahhh
if i broke my ankle: FUCCCCCCCCCCCC
Lol me too
3:07
And here I thought he was going to break his ankle jumping around stage...but he did it playing basketball. Hope it heals quick and properly Chester!
Unlucky tour. Bred's back and ear, Chester's ankle.....
FLAME-XIII What, ear? I only knew about his back, but not his ear.
al112v4 he missed shows in Brazil coz of ear infection
I think I've heard something about it.
Tea time.
Mike´s red eyes
That's my lovely wife treating his ankle. Good luck Chester, hope you heal quickly brah.
What a fuckin ledge. "Yeah its like broken"...."imma go sign some merchandise for fans". What a guy
Chester is amazing regardless of is situation he did another show just for his fan b4 he went to surgery , that dedication. LP4life
i had the same injury, i was afraid to move until my surgery, i CANNOT believe Chester went to the meet and greet and did the concert. ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR HULK
I was honored to see him that night with my son's first concert . He left a big impression on my son and I that night to play on with broken ankle . I'm glad this was recorded so now we can relive a great concert by a great singer which is sorely missed.😢
Mike: "People, make some noise for Chester"
Chester was one of the finest souls of the century. He was a border line genius. Really smart people often feel trapped in their own head. His high notes and vocal range is unmatched along with his loud screams. His voice was also soft and melodic just check any song from One more light album. Chester was a rare gem that we lost.
He played a concert after severly breaking his ankle mere hours before?!?! Chester, you truly were one of a kind.
That extra bit Mike's rap and Chester's vocal was epic!!!
Water bottle strategically placed by Mark Wakefield.
Isaac Sperrow Where did you hear that? I tried to find some info on it but couldn't find anything. Is there an article about this?
Guys, Mark Wakefield is still alive. He left the band when they were still called Hybrid Theory. He works as a band manager for other bands, but he and Mike are still friends.
+Brian Long I know....sort of. It wasn't really confirmed tbh. The main point here is the song is a tribute to somebody. If it wasn't Mark Wakefield, its a tribute to somebody else.
EDIT: Removed my previous post to avoid misinformation.
Isaac Sperrow mike and wakefield even made a funny song together in 2008 or something about the white house and stuff like that
GreyfoxAFCA Its definitely not him then....
I really hope he's recovering. Linkin Park is not Linkin Park without Chester. :(
Session was released by Linkin Park. Chester didn't do anything on Session.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
ChesterKiwi The Great didn't he play guitar in that? The few linkin park songs that come to mind are Dedicated, I have not begun, sold your soul to your mama (Linkin park does have a sense of humor) Some of the reanimation stuff, and cure for the itch.
matthew Singletary The Fort Minor album.
matthew Singletary ***** Had a long explanation typed out and clicked the back button...but no. Chester is not on Session. And Cure for the Itch is all Joe Hahn. All of The Rising Tied is Mike except where noted (guest vocals, Hahn's scratching, Bobo's Latin drums on Believe Me). I Have Not Begun was going to be a Fort Minor song, so same case. Dedicated is devoid of Chester completely, just like other Mike songs such as Step Up. Sold My Soul to Yo Mama is a remix/mashup done by Mike and Joe of three (I believe) Hybrid Theory songs. The only things Chester contributed to Reanimation were vocals. Guitar was all Mike, and most samples were courtesy of the remixers (some were from Mike though). And cello by Phoenix and strings by David Campbell's group.
The only song that might have guitar played by Chester Bennington is War, which was almost entirely written by him.
ChesterKiwi The Great I did not know about session, but everything I said after "come to mind" is all songs that I thought were not supported with Chester. I know Chester played guitar during one of the concerts, but thought he exclusively played instrumentals.
"where's your eyepatch"
-savage joe
He is so enthusiastic about his tours and making his fans happy. When he broke his wrist he went through a two or one hour show. I love his spirits.
Mike loves and adores Chester a lot.
Me too 😢
I hope Chester knows what an amazing trooper he is. There are bands that cancel shows over NOTHING. He still performed when he was risking extremely serious complications. I hope he knows he doesn't need to apologize. Chester is a role model for giving it your all.
This shows how Chester dedicate to the music. Miss him so much!!!
Knowing this was kind of the beginning of the end it just makes me wish it never happened, but it did he is so missed and probably never knew what he meant to us all and to all that loved him , idk what he went through in His last moments but it really just crushes me to know this man was so sad and hopeless , life is just so cruel.
Not only he broke his leg he Broke our hearts with joy' Rip chester
Wait, Remember the Name in the background? Fort Minor returns confirmed finally.
err?...Mike raps Remember the Name on the tour, so im not surprise.
Daaaaaaaaamn
Dayz 3O6 He has been doing that since last year, but lately he's been teasing a FM comeback.
al112v4 what did he say? I mean it's really Hard for me. I want a FM Album so hard and mike is playing with us instead of telling us if he's gonna make another Album.
Skatemaster3000 Well, he blacked out the Fort Minor FB page and created a Twitter and Instagram account. They link back to mikeshinoda.com. He's definitely up to something!
Ok but like, whoever made the music come in at "Every step that I take is another mistake" is a fucking genius, I went from cringing through the whole video and I am crying laughing at that because it's so fucked up and hilarious xD
Love and miss you Chester, thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone see you when I come home ❤
So many singers would of called the show. But no...you Rockstared up and put on a Stellar performance! I know that had to of been killing you...even with your scooter... Kudos to you for being a kickass frontman inspite of it!
I was at the opening show in west palm beach florida 2014 and I believe you had a back injury and came out and played anyway. Thank you for that because it was life changing to see you guys.
Everything started with breaking the ankle. Poor bright soul, he seemed to be lonely.
eduarda cavani If you watch the final BILD interview with Chester you’d know this video of him breaking his ankle was the beginning of the end... RIP Chester
broke my ankle too and got depressed because it stoped me from sports and other plans I had.. and Chester had so much more stuff going on, man I wish him all the best where he is now...
I can't believe you're gone bro. Rest in Peace.
Awesome to have them share that video with us. Met all the guys at M&G in Phoenix and they, especially Chester, are so kind and down to earth. Love them all! Hope he's better now and make up those shows for their fans.
I love the hunting party, living things, and all the "new" stuff, but undoubtly hybrid theory and meteora are 2 of the best. Never will ever forget both albums. Every single track still keeps playing on my mind.
Chester is a true sport! love the guy! He is so devoted to his fans and compassionate about his art. true legend.
Let this be a lesson to everyone.
Beware of bottles while playing basketball, or you'll have to cancel your tour.
ChipperEm haha nice joke man
😂
was looking for the definition of a true artist everywhere, didnt expect to find it here.......hats off to u guys,u guys are a true inspiration to me......
It's definitely hard to find a performer who still working while feeling something wrong Chester is a hell of guy rip legend
Firstly, get well soon Chester...
Secondly, can you imagine what would happen if Chester screamed like he was screaming in Given Up after breaking his ankle. Legendary. I would buy that CD.
The fact that Chester has wanted to do the show after his breaking ankle is very very impressive and beautiful. Chester loves his fans and he is very brave. I wish him a very good reestablishment. Love you Linkin Park the best group ever!!!
Wow now I know the full story to Chester's broken leg. I was gonna go to the pittsburgh show right after this Indianapolis show but i was so sad when it got cancelled. And I was going to go to the Hershey blinkin park show before the news of Chester passing. My family just wasn't meant to see LP live i guess:(
Chester, you're amazing, dude. Love your music, and I love how you and the rest of the band get along so well together, hope you continue the tour, and get better. Linkin Park is one of my role models, and always will be!
I really admire Chester, he puts lots of love and passion in what he's doing even with such a broken ankle! Hope you feel better and get well soon ❤️
he looked so bummed out about the whole thing.. sighs.. i still cannot believe this.. :-( we miss u Chester.. #ripchester - Sena from Malaysia-
i cant help thinking that this was it, what spiralled him out of control and into a phase of his depression that was ultimately what led him to - i mean, a water bottle. I know this thing has so many layers, but i cant help thinking what would have happened if he hadnt injured himself here...
Nate River you are absolutely correct. I’ve been trying to understand Chester’s death for months, but after watching the full BILD interview, his last interview, and now watching this video, I am convinced that it was this moment that Chester’s life took a turn for the worst. Life can be so cruel. One minute you’re happy go lucky, enjoying life, touring the new record, playing b-ball with friends... then the next moment, you break your ankle on a water bottle, a freak accident that sends you down dark path for the next 18 months, compounded by other events that you could likely have dealt with better had you not broken your ankle, making exercise and activity impossible and leading Chester to more pain, medication, and old habits. It’s so crazy and so sad. This video really was the beginning of the end if you ask me. RIP Chester.
It really goes to show how just one moment can change everything.
every step that I take breaks my own fucking leg, oh nooooooo :D broke his fuckin ankle still went to the meet'n'greet and played the show. He loved what he did. It's so tragic and devastating he's gone..... I will forever remember you and your lyrics Chester until I die. Thank you
This just breaks my heart. He couldnt work out to help with his anxiety an depression which he prob used to help him. I think this time during breaking his ankle was the beginning of the end sadly. He did break his sobriety during 2016. 3 day blackout. But geezzz we are all human! Poor guy. I know what its like in a way. I mean I worked in Orthopedics. Tearing ligaments and tendons is way worse than just bone. Long time to heal. An he shows up an tries! I mean thats awesomeness. Ugggg. Its just sad. RIP. We love you still.
A. Clemence exactly. I just watched his last interviews and now this video, and it’s pretty clear that this moment, shattering his ankle in 2015 was the beginning of his slide into depression. Those next 18 months are what inspired “One More Light” and as I’m sure we’re all aware, it’s a pretty dark record lyrically. I think Chester was finally starting to get back on track in early 2017, but the Chris Cornell died which probably just felt like pile on to Chester. It’s so sad. It just goes to show how unfair life is. A simple moment of playing pick up basketball and breaking his ankle on a water bottle could turn his whole life upside down for 18 months, probably leading at least partially to his eventual suicide.
It breaks my hurt 😢
This video makes me cry. This video remind me about how LP is a truly band of your fans.
Wouw Chester you are the best screamer in the world
This is true his voice has changed but scream never change
I had tickets to see them in Pittsburgh on this Tour. Chester broke his ankle and the tour got canceled. A few years later I was planning to see them again and found out he had passed.
LP has been so hard to listen to ever since but they will always be my favorite band.
This man was very strong. I bet that if I was him I wouldn't be able to get back up on that stage, I would be in so much pain. He taught me a lot. 1 like = 1 prayer that we will all get to meet him in heaven.
They're an awesome group and I loved this tour. During the show Chester jumped into the crowd and mike said aww people are crying! And Chester said they're tears of happiness in just the most nonchalant way. Then the stage engineer started the lights and synths too early while Mike was thanking the audience and he was just like whoa hold on a sec buddy.
Must be really pain full poor Chester. :( I miss him so much he was brave. Miss you Chester Wish u was still here with us Rip.
Man coming back and making it to the show the day after the injury? You are the hero mate, that commitment is killing me!
Health over everything else. Which i always agree on. Hope a speedy recovery for Chester!
It's heartbreaking that a small mistake lead to terrible consequences later.
We miss you Chester.
Im watching this 3 mos post chester.. it hurts
I hope your recovery goes well so that you can continue with your awesome sound. I've been a fan since day one and unfortunately I have never been to a concert being that I live in New York, still waiting for you guys to come here. But Chester recover soon man. Peace.
Im in pain watching this, i hope you get wel soon. Love you guys.
I could have sworn before watching this video that I can like each and every video uploaded by Linkin Park.
Hats off Chester for still performing. Get Well soon !
Linkin Park, спасибо вам за ваше творчество. Честер и его потрясающий голос навсегда будет в наших сердцах. ❤❤❤
linkin park's dedication to us fans is amazing!
Man I remember watching these episodes.
I WAS THERE AT INDIANAPOLIS! STILL PULLED OFF AN UNFORGETTABLE SHOW DESPITE THE BROKEN ANKLE, THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!
Hope you get better soon Chester, I love Linkin Park a lot, please come this year to Paraguay please!!!
You guys are the BEST!!!! that waterbottle.... speedy recovery Chester!! Big respect for giving the concert....
R.I.P Chester you're truly a legend
Linkin Park no matter what happens your music and what you have done will be in me forever
Chester lands on a water bottle, fucks up his ankle, still performs.
Justin Bieber GETS HIT with a water bottle and cancels the whole show.
Chester for the fucking win people!
#RestInPeaceLegend
I was stoked about the tour. They were coming to Edmonton and I paid a ton of friggin' money for the amazing view I was gonna have, but it is what it is. Shit happens, we're only human. I'm just glad Chester is better now.
That was sad because the hunting party is like the best album
This is why I love this band so much. No matter what happens to them or anything else they're always willing to do anything for their fans no matter how horrible the situation is
what a man he was... r.i.p chester :(
I'm SOOOO thankful Chester gave Indy a try, it was the best night of my so glad I met them all, you can even see me standing in front of Phoenix at about 6:56
I hope you will get better soon Chester... next time please be more careful.. really love your powerful voice!
Linkin Park was to play in Edmonton AB, Canada on this tour, Valentine's Day February 14, 2015.
The injury cancelled this show....
Hope you have found peace, and resting well Chester.
Thank you for your time with us.
R.I.P
