I think the beauty that really captured Chester voice was his ability to switch between distorted screams to clean vocals but sound like it was two vocalists he is arguably the best ever. So many bands who scream and do clean vocals need two vocalists because the transition isn’t possible for them but Chester mastered it alone. He’s go from this clean sweet emotional voice to this deep raw distorted voice. Don Gilmore and Mike Always said that Chester voice was so beautiful that when he sung with power and grit you could hear more than one vocal depending on what your focusing on within his voice. Chester was other worldly. Someone put it perfectly Chester sounded like he was vocal layering without vocal layering it’s immense when he sings with grit and power

Hearing the raw, tortured, desperate pain of his emotive screaming when I was young was one of the first times in my life, ever, that I realised I wasn't alone in how I felt. That someone else understood. That someone else not only knew the anguish of anxiety and despair of depression, and much worse, but could really take that pain and project it through their singing. Could speak on a level beyond speaking about the thoughts and experiences you go through in that state. Beyond the talent, and the voice that had such raw edge and such pure clarity, there was a real honesty and purpose to his performance that gave it something else. Chester didn't tell me, as many others had, that he knew how it felt to feel desperate, and worthless, and self-destructive. He didn't tell me that it would be okay, that it gets better. He took his tormented soul, and screamed it out into the world, so that people like me could see in him what they tried to contain deep within themselves, in a way that was so powerful and impactful that his darkness resonated with our own. The sheer catharsis of that feeling, it's hard to put to words. It's really hard. I don't exactly know why I wrote this.

Thanks for writing it. I’m with you

Watching you react to and analyse this performance was really special to me, since I was there that day, and had the immense priviledge to hear him in person. I couldn't notice all the things you have in this video, rather, what I was struck by was how much space his voice would take up, without any aid whatsoever. I'm not kidding when I say that I felt like filled the entire arena, and sort of punched at your chest, crashed against you like waves, I really don't know how to adequately explain the sensation, but it was unlike anything I had heard before. I'm so grateful that I got to experience this, and even more grateful for the fellow fans I got to meet there, what a time we had together!

Seeing Chris’ reaction to Chester’s gritty vocals is hilarious - because that’s exactly how I react every time I hear Chester do that

What I love about his voice, his distorted vocals especially, is that he was so able to sound both sensitive and aggressive at the same time. "Figure 09" has one of my favorite choruses, because it's basically built on distorted vocals, but it doesn't sound just aggressive, but also very sad and emotional. Not to mention the timbre, his high tenor voice was beautiful, mixed with the screaming? Such a unique voice.

Whenever I come across a video showcasing Chester I always read the comments first. It brings me so much joy to see how many lives were affected by his voice. I'm writing this comment before watching, but thank you for including him in so many of your videos. I just discovered you, so I have a backlog of videos to watch including those he is a focus of. and thank you for sharing your joy and love of music with all of us!

Listening to him, he reminds me a lot of Layne Staley regarding going in and out of distortion/screams so smoothly.

Today 6 years ago we lost Chester on Chris Cornell's Birthday #ripChesterBennington The Messenger has helped me through so much pain. I don't think I can sing this just because I start to cry.🥹We lost a G.O.A.T... Chester Bennington

He's the absolute best and will always be... at least in my lifetime and that says a lot, because I'm 26 :)

Thank you Chris for bringing more Chester’s content. For me it’s so simple, I see Chester I just click and watch

This song always breaks me. Ive been low for a long time. I lost my mom and my aunt within a short span. I try hard to stay kind.

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a hard song to sing in the original key lol. And I'm a mezzo soprano.

Chester, was a legend, is a legend, and will be a legend, forever and ever and ever. I first came to know about Linkin Park and Chester from a friend of mine, who had been listening to them since the release of Living Things. The first song I ever heard by Linkin Park was Castle of Glass. That was my entry point to Rock/Metal music, and how it influenced me. I am not a great vocalist myself, but I can do some sing screams, but not at Chester's pitch. Heck, I rediscovered singing bcz of Chester. I was going through tough times back then, the times of serious depression, and Chester's voice - it healed my scars. Hearing this unplugged version of The Messenger - it made me sad. It makes me miss Chester even more. Whenever I hear someone mentioning about Chester, I get goosebumps all over my body. Though, I wish I knew about Chester and Linkin Park before the tragedy, but still, Chester saved me, and I will, forever, be grateful for that. Rest in Peace, Chester. You helped fight others their demons, but succumbed to your own. Wish we could help him overcome his demons.

To me, the difficult thing about Chester's voice is not the grit, but the clean notes. Most people can learn the screaming-singing techniques he used, but to sound so clean at times up to B4 or C5... it's not fair to us humans.

happy birthday chester, we miss you, but we are extremely thankful of works like this that show us what you could do and remind us of you

Chester's voice, touches my heart and gives me such goosebumps. He sang with his pain and his talent. He was incredible. Legends never die. I tear up a little when i hear the raw emotion in his voice he truly cared about everyone. What a beautiful soul.

This barking and angel like vocals are out of this world... a true gift from god! RIP

Chester was my first inspiration to sing and i really appreciate what he has done and I also appreciate you breaking him down 👍

His work with Grey Daze just hits you right in the feels.

i just got into learning how to scream and i wanted to learn how to scream and sing like Chester and i learned from ur past videos on Chester and now coincidentally you're doing another vid of Chester a few days after i started my journey on learning how to sing and scream. lmao

One thing I find super interesting about this song is that in this he always sang the song about an octave lower live. In the recording, he's practically screaming it.

I love these unplugged sessions, they really showcase all the genius of the performers - but also the crazy skill of all the recording, mixing and mastering engineers, that help push forth (or hold back) various traits of the voice to fit the emotion even better. It'd be awesome if you would do a video on ideal recording setups and workflows for this too. Especially for us the one-man-band guys 🙂

Right before Chester and Brad did this song him and Mike did Leave Out All the Rest. I would be curious to see your analysis of it as well. I have watched this performance of them so many times but didn't notice some of the things you pointed out in your analysis. Makes me appreciate Chester as a vocalist even more. Please do the Leave Out All The Rest part of this performance. Thanks!

Man i effin love covering anything of chesters. I can hit some of them pretty well. Gonna have to add this one. Those closing dynamics at the end of each line are truly insane

And i want to ask you if you cant make vocal analizes from "Lost", rigth in that scream part "IM LOST.." i NEVER seen a human being doing so perfect and angelic how chester does, thanks again!

Chris, I used your tipps and stuff and I've become a far better vocalist than before. Still have a long way to go but now I understand how get that chester-like type of grit... Thanks!

Thanks chris with your dog tip I could finally do chester's grit I'll keep returning to this video to practice more.

I never liked Linkin Park. I just couldn’t get into their style. But there’s no arguing that Chester was an amazing singer. What a voice, man. So glassy, and strong, and unique. Such a shame he’s not with us anymore 🤘❤️

Chester had such a unique voice.. Just waiting on the video of Avenged sevenfold's new song now,, can't wait to see it!

oh man this hits hard... in the first show I ever played in an actual small venue, one of the last songs I performed was the messenger. that was almost 10 years ago. oh boy, a fun one to sing and not too hard on paper. what makes it special is the emotion put into every note. however I didn't play it with a capo on the 8th, what is brad doing?! ^^

I've never seen a video of them performing it live in its original key. It's probably just too harsh on Chester's voice and he doesn't want to ruin it doing it during a tour of any sort. But that original higher key is crazy, the "love keeps us kind" lines on the studio version is my favorite moments I've ever heard Chester sing, so heart breaking. I really wanna see Chris react to the studio recording as well.

You can’t learn how to sing that way, you just have to live what he lived. You can study how much you want but getting that emotional connection is something that can come only from pain.

I can sing clean, I can belt. But I just can't comfortably get rasp or harsh vocals. Not without really feeling it (hurts) which tells me I'm doing it completely wrong. Hope to figure it out one day! But dang, Chester had a talent that just can't be matched. 😞

Keep practicing over and over in that range your voice just isn’t used to it it’s trying to find the correct coordinations the The trembling isn’t a bad thing Long as it doesn’t hurt you have nothing to worry about ! and eventually after lots of practice your body will get used to it and then you should feel like you’re on top of the note instead of barely getting up to it . If you’ve ever done core exercises or planks and you feel your body shaking it’s kind of like that it’s working out muscles that you’re not used to but after a while it will become second nature and you’ll stop shaking .

The band is Rishloo, it is pretty underground but with a solid fanbase all around the world.
