The archive songs are both a blessing and curse- it's incredible to get new songs but they sting like crazy... thanks for covering this one ❤

Can never be a curse. Even if it hurts you will learn things from that. Blessings in disguise

Chester was a once in a lifetime singer. There's just that sound that sits halfway between screaming and singing that he hits perfectly.

i've been trying to replicate that raspy effect for years, still can't do it reliably

happy birthday chester. We will never forget you. We miss you. RIP.

As a fan of Linkin Park, and of my adorable Chester. The first minute was enough for me to cry. Chester had an incredible voice. And I miss him a lot. This last song and especially the video is very impressive, since it is something new that we had not heard and it is with Chester's voice. It's incredible, amazing

I love how in this song it doesn't feel like Chester is "over singing". He manages to make it seem like he's completely relaxed yet fully on point

It's a just a coincidence it seems rest of the band is having a therapeutic listening session post Chester. Trac and vid was finished back in 2017, but then it didn't make the album selection anyway. Members also look considerably older today. And you see Chester coming in to join them in the vid.

I had the same facial espression during the video, plus some tears and horrible snot sounds. Gosh I miss his voice.

Yes, Chester came to visit. HBD in heaven Chester. We love and miss you ❤

Every time I hear his voice in a "new" release, I go back to that July Summer and remember the news of his passing. The emotions I felt listening to their songs for the first time, understanding the pain they lived through, and the struggles they had to endure. Knowing this was almost on Last Light, makes the message of the song hit a little harder. I remember Chester saying that singing softer was harder on his voice than the screaming and going loud, so it's a different message for me hearing him sing softer in parts here.

Soon it will be seven years that we lost you, Chester. We miss you, brother.

Thank you so much for waiting to listen/watch until you could share your reaction, that couldn't have been easy! Your expressions as you heard the various parts of the song matched mine when I first heard it, though I did start crying when they showed Chester's cheeky little smile while playing the acoustic guitar and right after sings "We hurt the ones we loved", it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

fun fact: Friendly Fire was supposed to be included in OML Album almost 7 years ago but it was scrapped before May 19th was released. this song was too similar to Battle Symphony, Heavy, Halfway Right, and Good Goodbye so thats when this song was prior unreleased.

You got it Chris, exactly my feelings. Hopefully they still have a lot of"new" songs.

When they first said this was coming out my first thought was ,"Oh no...how could they replace Chester?" Then hearing it i knew. Love and miss you Chester!!!

My Heart is broken. I miss you so much Chester.

This song came out right after my girl of 14 years broke up with me. I related to it on such a personal level...

Chester's voice might be my absolute favourite because it's the most relatable(not sure if that makes sense to others). His voice just resonates with me. Tnx for reacting to this.

It resonates with so many! That’s why he was loved by so many and missed so badly!

Thanks for your professional take on Chester’s voice and proving that you don’t have to be a professional to be able to appreciate why Chester was so special in his vocal abilities.

It must be so hard to hear all the old records and not published stuff for the rest of the band. It's so hard as a fan but man it must be horrible for the friends and crew of Chester. But maybe they have some joy in reviving the magic of Linkin Park too. Thank you for this reaction Chris.

Yeah, watching the video, it feels like he is right there 💔

This song is deep. It’s beautiful.

I commented a while back asking when you were going to do a reaction to this then kind of forgot. I don't know why KZread decided to show me a week after you posted it, but I'm glad to see it. I thought about him on his birthday too, man... hard to believe it has been this long without him. I hope they continue to release stuff they have because as much as it hurts, its a good hurt.

I love how you notice and explain to us the details of Chester's singing. I really wouldn't have noticed those particular details of the way of singing. Thank you!

Ngl I got teary eyed listening to this one 💔

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Your reaction seeing Chester again was most of us, I was just crying my eyes out. Thank you for covering such a hard video, it's amazing being able to understand LP on a different way, specially vocally, thank you for all the wisdom shared!

I miss him sooo bad! My heart just aches. Thank God for the archives. Thank God for the band to keep his talent being highlighted once again.

🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥

I said this before, I always loved Linkin Park, but I don't think I ever appreciated how special Chester truely was until after his death. His voice, lyrics and music hit at such an emotional level that I can't explain, and hearing this 'new' stuff from them? It's hard, I never got to see him live, and I regret that. He's one of the few that if I had a chance to go back and time to meet them I would in a heartbeat.

I was waiting for the moment you would come and say "See you next time, cause i'll just go out there cry a little for this one.". Is is such an ENORMOUS loss for all of us.

I've watched this LP video, and heard this song, so many times, now, and every single time, I can't stop crying. Three places get me especially emotional. The one where Chester is playing a guitar and makes a little movement with his head and a placid smile. The one where Mike walks up to him on the couch and they fist-bump (you reacted to that fist-bump, too). And the end, where the music fades out and it's just Chester, singing so beautifully. And yes, you hit the nail on the head -- heartbreaking and comforting at the same time. Thank you for this.

i have listened to this song a while ago and WHOW, but seeing this video and watching again like listening for the second time the song was like 5 times more emocional power, AMAZING

Hi Chris, I feel exactly the same way about the video, that the remaining members are listening, pondering the immense loss and then Chester is there and it feels like he is visiting. I feel this immense loss, too, although Chester has never really been a part of my life - how much harder must it be for those who knew him and really lost him. Thank you for this video - and thank you Linkin Park

I love this.. I love to see my soul mate... You man... You feel music exactly like I do. Feeling every tone, every little thing it has to offer. And not seeing it just as something we wanna listen to in the gym, in the kitchen while cooking or something like that. But just listen to it, completely silent and just enjoying the moment... and enjoying what is happening in the song. None of my family or friends feel music like you and me do... And I love watching your videos.. Thanks for watching this. I plan to make vocal cover on this, so wish me luck cause it will be frickin pain to do. But I have to, for Chester. Love

goodluck bro, Im happy you're also so hyped about Chester

Chester will always be a part of Linkin Park and in the music history🙏

It’s a badass song my guy! Subscribed!

Oh Man… we all can’t hold our tears, you said it so accurately it’s like heartbreaking and comforting at the same time ❤️‍🩹 it feels like he is still with us…like he is giving us his big hug…❤️‍🩹

Wow I love the way you said that towards the end about the beginning of the video and how they're listening to it and he comes out to say hi!! That's exactly what I was thinking when I first watched it!!

First time listening I was like, okay not bad but not amazing. Second time listening and actually paying attention to the lyrics and the vocal performance properly, flipping phenomenal. Hits different. It’s literally impossible for anybody to sing it this well. Thanks Chris for bringing this one around.

Hey Chris, I would recommend you a song called Idol from Yoasobi. The live performance is insanely good so I think you would like it and it’s something different ✌️

Thank you for this wonderful review! Many other LP reviewers talk so much crap and fake their emotions but yours is really professional, authentic and highly respectful. Made me happy and emotional at the same time to see how Chester's voice touched your emotions. Thanks again and hope to see some more content of you, subscription is active now 😊 cheers

I did shed a small tear when i watched this for the first time. You hit the nail on the head! Heartbreaking & Comforting 🤍

My favorite KZread channel, I am watching from Brazil

Thanks Chris, great video! 🕊🔥💚

Nice video Chris! I appreciate the raw emotion you showed 😢🥺

Was the best song I almost lost it when I saw it on my Spotify suggestion

Chris, you gotta do a video on Teddy Swims. His voice sounds so good and smokey.

LinkinPark...serei sempre com você....escuto vocês desde 2008 e Me apelidei KLÉBER PARK por causa de vocês da Banda a qual eu tenho orgulho de escutar... LINKINPARK. Obrigado por vocês existirem e ter nos deixado ótimas lembranças da trajetória de vocês nesse últimos tempos. Thank You LINKIN PARK. 👊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏🫡👋🎸🎤🎧🎹

Dir en grey - OBSCURE [Live at Budokan HD] I highly recommend it from a vocal horror perspective.

I wasn‘t ready seeing him again in new staff… i mean, i believed to be okay with it now.. but holy shit i wasn‘t ready.. Seeing this, my brain goes into a strange place, knowing Chaz isn‘t here anymore.. but it just can‘t believe it. It still hurts man.. i wish there was a alternate universe where he is still around..

Hi Chris, a lot of people already recommended this song a few weeks ago, so this is more of a reminder. Don't forget to check out 'Minami's Hollowness' and if possible with the subtitles on, since the lyrics are amazing too

teared.😢

I would recommend you Akiakane's Bye Bye Sayonara (WITH LOW VOLUME IN THE BEGINNING, DO YOU UNDERSTAND)

Can you make a video about Blackie Lawless from Wasp? His distortion and power at high notes is amazing

FINALLY THIS VIDEO

Hey Chris I watched your video reacting to Minami and thought that id recommend a song you should check out, it's called VOH. The vocals in the song are extremely interesting and I think it'd make for a great vid. Anyways keep up the great work!

would love to see you react to some songs from yuuri on the first take

Chris, you should look into a singer called Benson Boone. He's really talented and I think you'd be intrigued by the vocal abilities and techniques used

Hey Mr Liepe do you think you could possibly analyze Elmo O’Conner’s vocals in Bones- Glad We Have An Understanding? 👀 Thank you for reading.

what AM I fighting for?

Hello Chris! I wanted to thank you for your lessons, my progress has been going upwards since I’ve started watching you! I’ve made a cover of Friendly Fire and some other songs in my shorts, would be a pleasure if you’d check them out!

When I saw the words "emotional rollercoaster"., it occurred to me that it might not be just the music but that Chester Bennington is one of your favorite singers and he ended his own life. Then it occurred to me that your favorite, Chris Cornell did as well. I don't know if you'd rate Kurt Cobain up there with those two, but I know you love his singing....and yet again, a suicide. Layne Staley - perhaps not technically a suicide, but certainly an example of brought on self-annihilation. Scott Weiland and Andrew Wood come to mind as well. It's a litany of names! Andrew Wood's death was the warning shot that whole Seattle scene should have heard loud and clear! Stay away from heroin. Nobody wins with heroin! If they didn't hear that warning shot, they weren't going to hear anything. I started to see if I could list some of my favorite vocalists from the era of my high school years, the 80s, who did the same thing and I thought: we lost Ronnie James Dio (who actually began in the 50s, but reached the peak of his popularity in the 80s), but he had cancer and fought it every step of the way. Rob Halford is still here. Geoff Tate is still here. Axl Rose, David Lee Roth, Sebastian Bach and David Coverdale are as well. We lost one of our biggest icons Eddie Van Halen, but again, like Dio, because of cancer. We lost Randy Rhoads, but that was because of a plane crash. None of these men self-annihilated. I wonder if you might want to do a video on what you think is to blame. Do you think their lyrics created some very negative energy that eventually came around to bite them in the ass? While 80s rock was for the most part, energetic, upbeat music, the grunge bands went as far from the Van Halen style of writing songs about having a good time and loving life and went in about as bleak a direction of lyrical imagery as was possible. What are some of the Seattle scene songs about loving life and wanting to live it to the utmost? What are the 90s era iconic songs about unbridled ambition and drive - the equivalent to I Wanna Be Somebody by W.A.S.P. from 1984? As far as I know, they don't exist. If music were drugs, 80s hard rock/metal would be cocaine - a stimulant and grunge would be heroin - a downer. While cocaine was rampant in the 80s music scene, heroin was rampant in the 90s scene. These music eras and the music scenes from them took diametrically different attitudes towards life, towards music and even towards their drugs of choice among those who did use drugs..and they certainly had diametrically different outcomes. Do you think any one single factors is to blame for those wildly different outcomes, or do you think it's a combination of their outlook on life, their approach towards lyrics and the drugs that were most prevalent in each of the two music eras?

You should make a reaction of "life is full of dreams" by sheena ringo, its one of her best songs.

Make a cover of this song😊

❤

Hey Chris! Could I suggest Creature by LANDMVRKS? Also, do you review fan sent tracks? Maybe patreon or smth?

Hey, I would like to know your opinion about Chris Cornells version of Nothing compairs to you. I love this track. Greets from Germany

Check out PIERCE THE VEIL and their song TODAY I SAW THE WHOLE WORLD, I'm sure you're gonna love it Vic Fuentes is such an interesting and dynamic vocalist and his high range is insane

Hey, it's possible react on the song : Haru by Yorushika ? Sorry for my english, i'm french But the song is OUAH !

Happy Birthday My King Chester as long as I live I will never forget you. Day 1 of asking Chris to react to the gazettE - Undying (I picked Undying because I think It shows every aspect and endless possibilities of Ruki's voice in one video. I hope Chris likes it and continues to explore the gazettE!)

I'm gonna continue to beg for Gigi De Lana's Unholy cover.

Musicians usually have backlogs of at least a couple hundred songs that just never saw the light of day. Juice Wrld had a lot, and Linkin Park was no different. Thats why there was so many new songs in the meteora 20th anniversary like Lost, Healing Foot, etc. This particular one was a song that was supposed to be on One More Light but got cut for reasons I'm unaware of.

@@aiden6106 From what I've read, Brad indicated that they didn't feel like Friendly Fire was complete in time for One More Light so they kept it off the record and finished it later.
