I met not only him, but his wife and son while setting up some networking equipment there. Very kind, very nice, and very sorely missed.

They were so dynamic together, the way their styles aligned was incredible.

I would like to hear a lot more about how Mike's relationship with Chester worked throughout the years, now us knowing that Chester battled deep depression throughout the years. Honestly, not interested in their songwriting/band dynamic, but really more about what it was to deal with somebody like that. Obviously not everybody is comfortable talking too much about this kind of stuff, but would be really educational to listen to what Mike has to say.

I think one of the saddest things about Chester in his passing is the lyrical content of all of his material. It always seems that the most abused and depressed artists produce some of the best material. The most twisted and saddening content, lyrically and emotionally, that we can relate to or understand, is written or performed by equally suffering souls. I just wish we could have helped him.

Been an outsider my entire life, even with family I never truly felt like I fit in anywhere so it's been quite the journey. Being able to relate to these guys is a plus, being a part of the LP fanbase makes things a little easier because of the shared experiences. If that makes sense

Mike and Chester were close, they said at times they spent more time together than their spouses. I couldn't imagine how I would feel losing someone that close to me, and as a fan I was gutted when I heard about Chester. Mike was there for us fans, he did what he could to stay connected. Mike expressed his feeling, and I'm sure not all of them, in Post Traumatic, he was going through his grieving process while making sure we were OK. All admiration I had for Mike before grew a million times more after.

the only reason why i fell in love with music. ❣
