- We're revisiting Linkin Park today, but this one is going to be very different compared to the first reaction I did to the song Crawling. Here we're watching the official music video for their song Given Up.

Your face during that held scream is everything.
thats what I was expecting
From a smile to Joker grin before reaching holy sh*t 😂
that scream is the only reason I'm here.
@@washitokusei6801 Clipped it: ruclips.net/user/clipUgkx2Y5oImeeUrF1DmN9HmF4kEkzmS2ymm8Q?si=ugNmWGSzd5vLUFOE
When you know someone has never heard this song before and you play it for them, this right here is exactly what you hope the reaction will be. Anything less than this is unacceptable!
Chester was often describe with “Sings like an angel, Screams like a demon.”
So true with this one
🥱
Screams like an angel.
Well
Ummm yah ok sure whatever u say there guy
yes
Surprisingly the live version is an even longer scream. 22 seconds.
Chester was an insane talent.
which live version though? sometimes it's the same amount of time and sometimes he breathes in between- i really wanna hear the 22 second version presuming i haven't lol
@@moodtheva The longer scream without breathing is on this aol version : ruclips.net/video/yIcx1fCsHXg/видео.html
He rarely did the full scream live, it has never been 22 seconds.
Something kind of ironic about his longest tortured scream being for aol.
@@leeoneil4024you can literally go time with a stopwatch, this is only 17. i watch this performance from time to time, it’s really good! but it ain’t 22 seconds lmao
She doesn't know about live version xDD
😂😂😂indeed!
I guess 🤷🏾♂️
He is one of the best singers
Linkin Park - QWERTY live in Tokyo. A MUST SEE! The incredible talent of Chester is on display! The toggle between scream and clean vocals is unmatched
Yeah i Love this Song so much! u musst SEE!
I agree look QWERTY live please
You hide behind
Shut up, kid. Now do your homework. You know nothing about the real word or actual good music.
I was literally going to suggest that.
That’s 17 seconds of pure pain and beauty, it amazes me how many people were shocked over his death like have you not been listening to him?
I think every LP fan lives for reactors reaction to that scream note. Chester knew what he was doing, may he forever rip
We still miss you Chester 💔
You saved so many of us but we couldn't save you 😭
Rest in Peace ❤
I'll never not miss him, Linkin Park was my first favourite band, my first album, and I'm gutted I never got to see them live
Sad facts
That's how i fell...
You're so right....I'm 52, Veteran with ptsd, tattoo's all over.....and I cry my eyes out knowing that if... perhaps....I had been there for him, like the band was there for me. Then perhaps, just perhaps.....he would still be here.
Your face during the first round of "The Scream" was matched by me watching you, likewise with the goosebumps. I watch reaction videos so I can relive my first time hearing songs for the first time
her expression REALLY spoke for us all lmao it still makes my whole body fizz
Chester had such passion and power to convey the emotion behind the songs... He was one-in-a-million singer...
One-in-a-billion for me :)
both of you are off by at least 6 more zeros.
If you like Linkin Park then I highly recommend listening to Serpents !!!!!!! The video clip is amazing.
🔥Serpents - Hourglass (Official Video) 🔥
One in 7 billion will never be another
Watching the vocal instructors get there face blown off by the scream is literally my favorite part. Just picturing being a High school senior and this song drops when teen angst is at an all time high. No wonder my class thought we were invincible. Chester changed and save so many lives including my life. RIP...
Now for a flip side check out him singing Rolling in the Deep live at the AOL festival. Chester gives goosebumps regardless of what he sings. He was incredible
She'll make that same googly-eyed face when she hears Chester's change-up at about the 3:32 mark - ruclips.net/video/dHtwZ07N1ic/видео.html
If you like Linkin Park then I highly recommend listening to Serpents !!!!!!! The video clip is amazing.

I cry every time hea this, hearing his cries as he screams for help from the abyss that eventually took his life.
When he goes from that long scream straight back into the clean vocal... that's just perfection.
The longer the scream went the bigger your eyes got and the lower your jaw went!!! The same reaction most of us had! Wonderful and pure reaction!
Hell yeah. You should check out their cover of Rolling in the Deep.
17 second scream reaction hype
Your entire reaction at 10:50 is so wholesome and priceless. The surprise, followed by even more surprise that builds into uncontainable giddiness-and the lingering smile and passion afterward. You _get_ it :D
As far as songs go, "Place For My Head" is iconic, "Leave Out All The Rest" is softer and heart-wrenching, and "In Pieces" is unique and has some interesting harmony in the second verse.
i would recomend Place For My Head live in texas
a younger me would hate sharp edges; for older me, it's one of their favourite songs. what difference 20 years make.
If you like Linkin Park then I highly recommend listening to Serpents !!!!!!! The video clip is amazing.
🔥Serpents - Hourglass (Official Video) 🔥
place for my head live in texas is the best peformance ever, Also: The little things you give away Live on the Resolution tour is one of my favorites.
I still can’t listen to Leave Out All the Rest.
My wife and I love your channel. Love your mean mug when the music gets hard. Your true appreciation for music really shows.
Haha mean mug)
Thank you for letting Chester live on through the greatest screamer ever in music
I’ve heard this song a billion times and seen several reaction videos to this song. You’re the only person who has mentioned the “sigh” like quality. I can hear it now from the way you explained it.
It's certainly there. I picked up on it quote a while ago. Just gotta be really attuned to the performance.
@@coreyandthecrew952 yes
Waited 11 minutes to see your reaction to his scream. Was not disappointed. The feeling dripping from it hits me and chokes me up, every time. The depth of the "I'm over it all" is so raw and relatable. This is one of my top 10 songs and I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it.
Once you learn how to do harsh vocals in a healthy way, this often becomes one of your favourite songs for that sustain. I actually used this song to intentionally practice holding a scream for as long as I can while ALSO being able to manipulate it and bring down it's pitch over time. I've gotten to a whopping 28 second scream doing this now by learning circular breathing and intentionally taking a big breath just before it. Chester was a vocal legend who was the FIRST person to introduce to me anything other than compression or anything that resembles an actual scream. His influence on my music, and ultimately my life path after becoming a vocalist, will forever be an important aspect of my Journey. Losing Chester was the first time a celebrity passing ever actually effected me in any way, for for about 18 months I couldn't listen to LP without breaking down. I've since gone on to listen to MUCH more intense music, but I will never forget those roots and often come back to them for their nostalgia, and because let's be honest, Chester can SING!
When they were recording this song Mike kept telling Chester to do a longer scream and Chester got tried of that and just did a 17 second scream. Afterwards Chester realized he would have to do that live and wished he had done a 10 second scream instead.
Chester wrote the lyrics to this song just after getting out of rehab in 2005. He brought this song and several others to Linkin Park. He wrote this about his struggles with dealing with his divorce from his first wife Samantha. He used music to help him deal with his feelings in a healthier way than turning to drugs and alcohol all the time. This song was a way for Chester to tell the fans how he felt during and after his divorce.
I remember hearing this song for the first time and just goosebumps all over 😊 I still get it listening to when he screams “god” and the obvious super long scream.
I wish i could go back to the first time i ever heard "the scream"
RIP Chester, whoever has seen him perform live are the luckiest people,,Your reaction to the scream was priceless 😅
That stank face when you listen to the breakdown for the second time at 11:50 is f’n great! Love it
as a fan i feel sorry that he was crying for help his whole life through his songs and all we did was cheer!!!!!!!!!! what if just one person asked him what was wrong or just gave him a fucking hug???? RIP chester!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love when she says “oh golly” after realizing how far in to the song she is.❤ Just getting lost in the music, like we all do!
11:14 represents ALL OF US who heard the first time this song and our jaws dropped instantly right to the floor. Chester's voice was unique, but after this song he became a true legend! RIP- Chester, we missed him so much! his voice, energy and passion were the symbols of a whole generation! thank you for reacting to this!
That was so brilliant when you reach the moment of the extended scream, watching your entire physical expression of astonishment is so rewarding and I was so anxious to rewind to experience it again I accidentally exited the video and threw my remote. 😅 Thank you for that.
It's like he vibrates the hell out of his voice when he says hyperventilate. No idea how he did that, but it sounds badass.
7:43 I always thought he was mimicking hyperventilating here since the lyrics are “I hyperventilate” like he is short of breath from a panic attack! Lucky to have seen him live once!
Chester touches us all on multiple levels. Tears in one song, hairs raised on another (or both at the same time!)
These lyrics, and many other songs he wrote, made a lot more sense after he committed suicide. RIP.
Yeah most people don't realize this.
17 seconds on this version is right. It is just mind blowing how he can do that. A great talent gone before his time.
"lookin' for help somehow, somewhere and no one cares" - This is so relatable and sad at the same time. RIP Chester
That 17seconds of screaming is fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Screw you kid. You're young. You know nothing about music.
I had the opportunity to watch the band live twice. Chester’s vocal range and quality still gives me full body chills.
You definitely have to react QWERTY live in japan 2006, he mix scream and cleans in seconds. Chester's greatest virtue wasn't just his voice or his scream; it was his PASSION and INTERPRETATION when singing. He conveyed his emotions exceptionally well, reflecting them in his magnificent voice. This is why he is so admired by many vocalists in today's modern metal bands.
I saw them live and you are right. They are and Chester in particular was an insane performer.
(Rest in peace Chester.)
Hey, I'm so glad to see a reaction video to this song and 100% can confirm seeing Chester live twice when Linkin Park Toured WA and he was hands down perfect both times, it was like I was listening to the CD. RIP Chester, his voice is unmatched I don't know if there will ever be another singer quite like him.
My favorite and safest song by linken park. So much pain, so much foreshadowing. A cry for help. You are so miss. He left us to soon.
The reason I like your reactions to a lot of these types of song is because I can see it in your face that you *feel* it. You get the rock rictus! You're completely focused in, halfway between a snarl and a grin. You said something like "once in my life, I ended up in a mosh pit and it did not end well for me - but here, I want it." We don't all have the luxury of being tall, wide stable dudes with *mass* to throw around. Fuck body gatekeeping, you've got the spirit. You're all in, and anyone who doesn't see it is just *not looking*.
That is a damn spot on statement! I have been searching for the way to describe it and you said it perfectly!
I love this so much; your face during THE scream is the reason I follow you. Epic. Legend. Thank you.
I had the honor of seeing LP live, and during the performance Chester held a scream for what i swear must have been a minute.
One of the most talented artists of all time and just an utter tragedy that the demons that fueled his success would eventually claim his life.
RIP Chester.
I just discovered your channel at about midnight. It's almost 6 am now lol. Watching you discover all these fav 90s bands of mine is like rediscovering them myself. I hope you do more of those. 🎸🤟
Yes you did, we did, the world made the same face when they heard Chester screaming for 17 seconds.... THE BEST
Rest in Peace Chester. I was lucky to see LP live 4 times. My all time favorite band. Chester and Chris Cornell (rest in peace Chris) from Audio Slave were great friend's. No one paid attention to their lyrics when both were alive, but listening to both of all their songs after their deaths, you come to realize they were both screaming out for help. 😢
RIP Chester. We all miss you terribly.
In his held scream, the fact that he is able to hold the same note is absolutely insane. And being able to change the note in the middle of the scream without flinching and still holding the note perfectly... This song in particular hits home for me on a regular basis and I do listen to it almost everyday.... Chester was a vocal talent beyond imagination. Some people think he's just screaming... but his vocals are insane.
Agreed, it takes a tremendous amount of muscle and airflow control to be able to do this well, and do it consistently. I have a pretty good idea of how he does it, and on a good day I can do something close, but knowing how to do it and repeating it flawlessly time after time are two extremely different things.
Thank you so much. I love seeing and hearing people talk about Chester's long scream, and being amazed by it. I've seen too many reactors barley react, or not even react at all. How can anyone not hear that man's amazing voice produce that long scream, and not be amazed? I think you voice coaches are the most impressed because you know how difficult is it to do that. Great reaction, thank you.
R.I.P. Chester Bennington
I will only hear 1 voice like this in my lifetime and I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to experience it.
I was blessed enough to listen to this live, and you’re right….putting into words is just impossible. This is something you experience and feel and just absorb. This is a top performance and the fact that it just delivered even more in live performance is EPIC!
The grudge… the grudge….the grudge. Tool
That was the Power that Chester had and evoked so well. It's always amazing hearing him sing.
Hope you have a happy new year! Always fun seeing your reactions, takes us back to the first time we ever heard these songs!
The fact he builds into the long scream makes its so much more impressive
When you listen to the lyrics of Linkin Park in hindsight of what ultimately happened with Chester, it's quite sad. Most of their songs he is crying for help. Brilliant singer.
I don't ever remember you watching something so intensely while letting yourself bop along to the music. It was obvious that you felt this one the way we all did. The end scream may have been the final destination, but watching you take the journey was great. Thank you for being genuine.
That 17 second scream is my ringtone for when my mom calls. Great analysis video. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on Given Up. Would love to see more Linkin Park content from you.
😂😂😂😂
Was so enjoyable watching you just feel the music. Movement, facial expressions and so forth. Thank you.
Watching you react to THE scream was the purest and most beautiful thing I've seen in a while.
Chester managed this live is the craziest part. That insane scream and immediately starts up the chorus again. It blows my mind how he managed this. He truly was a once in a lifetime talent.
Watching this song live was just unreal... and the ability to take that short breath and go right back into clean. Damn
Really enjoyed this! Great reaction, especially during the long scream. I think your timing of it was pretty accurate. The live concert version others have mentioned is definitely worth watching. Also, would love to hear more about the mosh pit experience!
This is hands down my favorite Linkin Park song. The song 'Heavy' is beautiful.
I love watching your reactions. It takes me back to how I felt the first time I heard these songs.
I was lucky enough to catch them a handful of time live (including a small concert for a transformers premier) and the energy that Chester had on stage was AMAZING.
Seeing someone hearing and enjoying Linkin Park songs for the first time is soooo satisfying. I love your videos!
Oh my god I want to take you to a multi-band metal show. Watching you experience this music that meant, and means, SO much to us, and watching it just envelop you is so cool. I'd just love to be there in person, and I think you would just be blown away. Welcome to our world 🤘🤘🙌
Chester’s voice was amazing, man I miss him. Wish I could of seen them live
I’m with you, I wish I would have found the time to make the trek to one of their live shows, it must have been an amazing experience!
That scream is iconic!
One of my absolute all time favorite songs of all categories. Have had a hard time to listen to it since his death, though. Seeing this video and hearing it again, makes me think it is time to bring it out again. Chester’s singing is beyond great! So sad we had to lose him. 💔
Watching her discover all this music for the first time is so satisfying!!
She now knows what all of us who grew up with this music felt like for the first time!!
I am no vocal coach but a big empathetic person and I can feel the emotions I felt cruising through her as well. Fascinating!
Neredeyse 15 yıldır dinlerim bu grup gerçekten inanılmaz şarkıları eskimiyor ilk günkü hissi her zaman alıyorum kalite budur RİP Chester
I've seen him do this live. Definitely no backing tracks or manipulation. The first time that I saw them live was on the 'Hybrid Theory' tour and his voice blew me away, before he even started pushing himself this much. The guy was a phenomenon, which is why he's so revered.
I think this is the best reaction I have seen so far, I keep coming back and watching your reaction to the scream😮
Enjoy your content. It makes people hear music in a new way. You have a gorgeous smile as well.
was just waiting for you to get to the held scream for the reaction...perfection
This is one of my very favourite songs and still gets me emotional with the way Chester sings. Your face at the sustained scream was mine too when I first heard this song haha.
I would recommend, if you want to hear how intense Chester can get with the vocals and the performance, check the live version of the song from Clarkston. He was really incredible.
Agreed, the Clarkston performance is SO insane, one of his most intense performances!
I seen several breakdowns of this song but the reaction to the scream is always amazing
This just might be my favourite song of theirs. The whole feeling, the music, and that SCREAM!
Crawling is another stellar choice from LP. Thanks for the video.
I been here for 11 minutes to watch the reaction of Crester's scream... and it was totaly worth the waiting. Love it!!
i was lucky to not only see them live more than 7 times, but met them all in person 3 times, and got to talk with Chester, every day its still hurts knowing he couldnt beat them demons and what happened had happened, all my fav moments in my life were days on the way to one of their concerts, with friends of mine, we started going as 3 then the next 5 then the next 10 and it was always a big event to go watch them. Hoping still for something with linkin park in the future but man, no days will be the same without Chester, he was awesome.
If you really want to see Chester live with pure raw energy and sing with his heart, watch the Live in Texas version Of "A Place For My Head". BTW, "Given Up" is my favorite LP song, but they have so many incredible songs, it's hard to chose a #1.
Well, I really LOVE your reaction. Your face in the screaming is priceless. 😂❤
I'm a 40 year old classically trained vocalist/drummer who grew up hard AF (musically of course!) and kept to my roots. I have a tremendous amount of appreciation for Chester and his artistic talents and he will be terribly missed by those who struggled to find their own voice in that time of their life. His work with Mike shouldn't be overlooked and there are so many other amazing artists that you should consider introducing yourself to. RUclips would appreciate your reaction if nothing else that's for sure!
Fantastic to watch and hear you watch songs from Linkin Park, it's a truly joyous experience! :D
LMMFAO.... I LOVED watching your face during the scream!
This might be the best reaction video to this song. Well done and thank you
19 seconds, counted on my watches! Impressive non the less! Chester was a Legend! May have looked at a different live version but it was 17 seconds.
Now you gotta see that song performance live, please!
I would love to watch your reaction to it.
Man, I just wish I could tell Chester how awesome he was and how much he meant to my generation and when I was 11 years old who first heard Hybrid Theory when it came out and it changed lives. The dude was super unique, an incredible talent and such a vocal inspiration for so many including myself. Rest easy Chester.
My favourite part of this song is the delivery of "hyperventilate". Manages to express the experience of how starting to hyperventilate actually feels in that one word.
HOLY SMOKES!! So there are actors I like alot because I BELIEVE them when they perform like Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, etc. And this guy is that to the power of 10!!! Usually they are believable because there is truth behind such a attack!! Don't know all the lyrics but he seemed to have packed a chunk of real estate upon his shoulder. Whew! Awesome Reaction! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL 💖🥳🎉 Peace 🕊️☮️
He eventually took his own life due to his strained mental health. The man, like so many who do this, gave til he had nothing left
Definitely not an actor. It was very public and well known that Chester Bennington struggled with mental health.
He eventually committed suicide by hanging.
@@Alfaqwad Dang. Can't imagine or being the friend wishing he could have done something. ☮️
@@allengray5748 That would be the whole band, but most of all, Mike Shinoda. Mike put out an album called Post Traumatic, where most of the songs were him dealing with him losing his best friend. Some of those songs are tough to listen to, but they are also straight from the heart and amazing at the same time.
@@peterworth9403 Going to have to check it out. Thanks Peter.☮️
Watching this video was like listening to the song again for the first time. LINKIN PARK is one of my favorite bands for a number of reasons, and this is one of my favorites of theirs. Thank you!
Some other good songs by LINKIN PARK are Don't Say and Faint. I'd also love to see you react to pretty much anything from the first album of Foo Fighters
RIP Chester, we miss you. :(
Seeing your awakening is beautiful. You get it.
