The more you dive into Linkin Park the more you will notice that Chesters lyrics are extremely symbolic of his mental health issues in the real world. Unfortunately, he took his own life but he wrote many iconic songs that will live forever.

Mike wrote almost all of it though. And collabed with bandmembers. Chester was the least active in writing, almost no songs. But there might be some Chester influence here and there in the lyrics of their material. Cause the writing was often based on band discussion.

I can't WAIT.

Discovering Linkin Park post Chester’s death is a unique opportunity for you to hear the mental health calls in his music in hindsight. Growing up with LP was an amazing for an emo/edgey teen but now when I listen to a lot of LP I tear up knowing that Chester was suffering. He was a beautiful soul and gift to us all. I hope you dive in more.

The thing about linkin park is that everybody in the band complimented each other perfectly. Itll be hard to replicate what they had

So Chester Bennington (blonde hair) is the main singer, Mike Shinoda (guy rapping) is the second singer, mostly backing vocals and rapping. Mike also is the main creator of the band and then was connected with Chester through a friend and they created Linkin Park

Thanks so much!

I’m really pleased to see you have finally found Linkin Park, Please stick with them, I’m sure you will enjoy the journey. I couple of good songs to follow “In the end” are “Numb” and “Lost in the echo” also “Castle of Glass” is a hard hitting track, but that would be best saved for Veterans day or a similar date and could be paired with “Wrong side of Heaven” from Five Finger Death Punch, for an emotionally charged day.

Linkin park is My favorite band glad you found them

Oh man... Linkin Park! Been listening to them for over 20 years, atleast a couple times a week. Sooo many great songs by them!

More Linkin Park! This band was one of the first “Nu-Metal” bands that really took off and set the stage for future band to “try” to achieve. Chester (singer) was the sound that Linkin Park was known for, and a lot of young adults (30’s-early 40’s😅) were affected by the loss of this human. I haven’t been in for a while, but I had to watch this one! Gotta suggest Falling in Reverse again! Popular Monster by Falling in Reverse will be a treat to get to have an analysis done by you!

So glad you are reacting to Linkin Park! They are a wonderful fusion group, and I was hooked on their music from the first time I heard them. Their music, sound and videos got me through a rough time in my life after losing two sisters at the same time. Their musicality combining two different styles to create their unique sound was exactly what I needed during the tougher days of grieving. I was so heartbroken when Chester Bennignton committed suicide, it almost felt like losing family, their music had become such a huge part of my life. Hope you review/react to more of their music! Thanks for doing this one!

The blond guy was the lead vocalist. The rapper is Mike shinoda

First of all, thank you for giving this band a chance 🙏🏼 Nice reaction and I liked your point of view, genuine. Please, since you have started, continue on this band journey. Powerful band & a lot of emotions & good memories ❤️🖤

I suggest listening to Given up by Linkin Park to truly get a view of Chester’s voice

@PrecursorLegend

I second this. No better song to truly digest Chester’s raw emotional power. That song hits you like a tidal wave.

Mike Shinoda is the rapper/keyboard of the group. Chester is the lead vocal. In this video he’s the Em wannabe. Ironically you should check out remember the name by fort minor.

OMG I've waited so long for you to do Linkin Park!! THANK YOU SO MUCH

Good luck to your son and his EMT hopes. Former paramedic and miss it.

In The End has a nice meaning, but Crawling hits really hard, it would be a awesome reaction, if you haven't listened to it yet i recommend 100%. There's no explanation for how it hits you.

Welcome to the best rabbit hole you’ll ever enter!! LP forever. ❤ RIP Chester. 🕊️

The more you listen, the more you'll see why Chester was the heart and voice of LP.

Chester Bennington is the lead singer here He is the blonde here. Chester took his own life in 2017 and then I lost my sister in August of 2017 Her body was full of cancer She didn’t get a chance to fight it !!!! It was extremely sad and painful.We were v close . Cancer SUCKS!!!!

welcome to this ride, really hope you enjoy it. these are two main vocalists, and the most remembered parts of linkin park's music was built on them working off one another. suppose that is mostly why they felt after Chester (blonde guy here)'s passing that they cannot just go on. keep it up. also, real food for thought at the end, thank you

Hi Cutie I love linkin park. The lyrics are so good in all their songs. There is a clip on KZread where they are playing thos on a consert after Chester died. A slow version where Mike raps and when its Chesters part the crowd sings for him. Chester had a best friend, Chris Cornell, that took his own life. After Chris death they did a live version of their song "One more light" and you can see Chester cry on stage and hear the pain in hos voice..Chester took Chris death really hard and 3months later on Chris birthday Chester took his life. Leaving not only a greaving family but million of greaving fans all over the world. You asked why someone stays in an abusive relatiomship besides the kids and stuff like that. Well there is so much mental abuse that they convince you that you dont deserve better, that no one will ever love you. You are so down in your selfasteem that you cant leave. And offen women get very poor if we leave. I lived with my abusive ex husband for 23years. I thought I never be free from him. The thing that happened on Daily bases for 23years are unbelieveble. But now in Oktober its 2years since the divorce. Its hard becouse the scars in my soul are there. And Im so poor I struggle to get food and medicine. But Im free. Im happy. Im free 💛 Stay safe my friend

I can tell that they are a group that I personally would gravitate towards.

"QWERTY", "Given Up", "Heavy", "One More Light", too many others to list. I would recommend each of these. Watch anything live you can find. These guys had almost 20 years of hits. They said they would continue if they found a way to make it feel right.

They really didn’t push on because it’s not the same without Chester. It hit them hard and changed the band, especially the second singer (black hair) Mike Shinoda who even made a whole album talking about his feelings of loosing Chester.

You should react more Linkin Park such as Papercut/One Step Closer/Don’t Stay/Somewhere I Belong/What I’ve Done and many others great songs from them

We miss you chester

R.I.P Chester!!

So, here we are. Was expecting you to come here and soon you'll end up loving and get addicted to LP. The songs that you should react to are Papercut, Numb, Breaking the Habit, Given up, From the Inside, Leave out all the rest, Faint and many more. But i would suggest listening to them album wise. You shall be thrilled.🎉🎉

Chester is the biggest loss to music after losing Elvis an John Lennon in my opion, he was that good, and I have a very high opion of Elvis when he was doing real well. And then John was always so good with the Beatles an even most of his solo music. Chester dude, we miss you every day, RIP

you need to hear Linkin park - leave out all the rest really a cry for help from Chester before he took his life :(

Should definitely do One more light by them

Hey Chris, I really appreciate you take up LinkinPark. Every LinkinPark fan misses Chester, the childhood friend of ours. Oh he screamed out the pain, frustration, every emotions in the lyrics and whenever one listens to him, it ripped out the heart and the weight of it all that he is no more. It's another rabbit hole for you to dig into LinkinPark and the experience is like a lone journey on a camper van. The old version Chester and Mike loved the scream and the hard sound. As the band members grow older, their take on life is more mature and you'd hear a different version of them. They don't scream out the pain like they used to but they understand it deeper and brave life like men are expected to. If you're up for this journey, Let's journey along.

You need to check out some of the crossovers they did with Jay-Z called collision course.

That lose yourself cover wasn’t by linkin park, it was a KZreadr doing lose yourself in linkin park style so I think that’s where you may have gotten confused.

Thanks for covering this one! It’s one of my favorites by them! ..and you are absolutely right.. think time flew thru high school or college or whatever your glory days were? Time doesn’t fly until you have kids. Blink and they’re grown - those are the biggest glory days. LP has so much music that this is just scratching the surface - not all their stuff if for me, but they’re special. Next up, we need some Christian rock! People don’t realize you can jam on it! Skillet - Comatose Thousand Foot Krutch - Running with Giants Cheers!

Larry ... My friend ... this is a whole new rabbit hole you are diving into ... ❤️‍🔥🫡

Enjoy the foray into LP man, you'll enjoy it!

Mike the dark haired guy, is the lead founder of the band. He is one of 2 lead singers of the band. He does mostly rapping and singing. Chester ( R.i.p.) the blonde, joined the band last. He is the main lead singer. He does most of the rock, metal vocals

Hey, Chris, I just want to say that your speech at the end of the video really touched me. While I won’t get into details, there’s someone I used to be romantically involved with, before she broke up with me and we became simple friends. The past couple weeks, there’s been a lot of issues between us, to the point where I’m not sure what to do. So this reaction and speech you gave was just what I needed right now. Thank you for your words of wisdom, I always appreciate it

Linklin park- Numb

If you want to know why Linkin Park is not making albums or touring any more than watch some of Mike Shinoda's interviews from 2018. If you want to know how Mike dealt with Chester's passing then listen to Mike's album Post Traumatic especially the first 3 songs. Rob the drummer isn't in the spotlight anymore. The fans haven't really seen him since the tribute concert for Chester in October 2017. Mike is getting ready to release a new song on October 6th (this Friday). Mike is a very talented person. He is an artist/graphic designer, pianist, songwriter, producer, singer/rapper, and guitar player. Linkin Park wasn't just a band. They are/were friends/brothers who are/were very close. So when Chester died they all took it really hard and have been dealing with survivor's guilt type of emotions since they couldn't save Chester from his demons.

Saw Rob in some clip since. Looked like he had aged quite much in a couple years

I would love to hear you react to Crawling or Numb. Those songs got me through a lot of my adolescence and still gets to me, especially after Chester's (lead singer, blonde) passing a few years ago.

More ... More ... More ... Please more Linkin Park

There is this great cover of this song by Tommee Profitt with Fleurie and Jung Youth. He makes some great covers. Usually complete opposite of the original tone, especially his Creed covers album. If you find the time or would like to listen to a cover, this is a great artist to do that with. Anyways, love the reactions!

So glad you're reacting to Linkin Park, I think you'll really enjoy their music. Chester (the blond guy in this video) was the amazing lead singer who sadly took his own life a few years ago. He does look like Em a bit here haha I think it was just that early 2000s look, bleached blond hair was kind of popular.

Great reaction 😊

Chester didnt just pass away, he took his own life. (Just making sure that you are aware, since it does sound like you arent sometimes) :)

You really need to do more Linkin Park! I highly recommend Given up, and Qwerty for heavier, and One More Light or The Messenger for slower more meaningful. All live performances are incredible too. Also try Chester’s side band Dead By Sunrise

I can promise you Chester Bennington is the furthest thing from Eminem lol! If you are going down the Linkin Park rabbit hole, I am totally here for it!

Now that you know of Linkin Park, you've gotta react to their song Given Up

you should react to rage against the machine, the inventors of rap/rock..”killing in the name” is the song to go

so there was a continuance of the remainder after Chester. They called themselves Fort Minor.

from the land of enchantment to the 9th plane of Hell, ha

The guy you heard on the Lose Yourself cover is not part of Linkin Park at all. He does voice impersonations, and was doing Eminem in the STYLE of Linkin Park. Mike Shinoda does the rap. Chester Bennington did the screaming and singing... scream like a demon, sing like an angel, and gone way too soon. They are both the "lead singer", like Don Henley and Glenn Fry.

My man's about to go on such a trip with LP 💔 In my opinion, Mike Shinoda is the rapping lead in a lot of the songs that give the narrative and Chester (the blond dude as you said😂), who has an almost angelic singing voice and almost a "demonic" screaming, which really just drives the emotional force into the songs. Not saying that Mike can't do that as well, he is awesome of course, but ever since Chester's passing, when we relisting/relive their songs you really see the pain he was in fighting his demons. I only regret that I never got to go to one of LP's concerts😞 you will truly enjoy their music just like you've enjoyed growing listen to Eminem❤ I really am a Stan for their music 😭😭😭 (P.S. Mike Shinoda also has his own band called Fort Minor. I hope you will eventually get around to reacting to them as well.)

What is that old saying I thought I would have 30 years before my 20’s turns out it is very true lol

I love this reaction! Please stick with the reactions to Linkin Park. They are one of my favorites of all time for sure!

There's no real way Linkin Park can carry on without getting a new singer, Chester Bennington sang/screamed most of the songs. They did just release Lost Demos which have Chester singing on some songs but many of the demos don't have words. That's the issue, there's no way to replace Chester and if they did get a new singer, many fans would be angry and upset. Compare Linkin Park with We Came As Romans. WCAR also had two singers, one of whom died in 2018. We Came As Romans announced they were going to continue as a band and they were not going to replace Kyle (their second singer). Dave (the screamer in We Came As Romans) does double duties now. Which works really well, especially since Dave took vocal training 8 years ago for songs on their 4th album. You should react to Promise You by We Came As Romans... that's their screamer! But you should at least listen to Promise Me from their previous album first, that's Kyle.

It’s actually sad that you haven’t done any other Linkin Park songs. You said they have two very talented singers and didn’t know why they didn’t continue on after Chester passed. You’re not going to understand that by anyone telling you, you have to hear them over the years. This is an early song of Linkin Park. Some of my favorites are older ones but they have so many later songs that bring so much. Sadly, most (really all of them) of their songs are a little depressing about the hurt Chester went through his entire life. That doesn’t mean they aren’t great songs and you don’t have to give a therapy session for each song. I’m new to your channel and haven’t subscribed yet because I’ve only watched three of your videos. This one, the one you mentioned about the guy who did the Linkin Park and Eminem song (no affiliation to either), and the one that brought me to your channel, Little Drummer Boy by For King and Country. We shall see where the other take me but the lack of Linkin Park hurts because it’s been over a month and you haven’t gone back to them.
