"If Mike could sing, I"d be out of a job. But I think at this point I'm securely fastened." You'll never be out of a job, Chester. We'll miss you, a lot.

[@kevinthelaststylebender1361]

Here laying down in my bed at 4 am listening to Chester talk :( We all miss you dearly so much....

[@choirsandconcerts7676]

Such an intelligent person! R.I.P.

[@brendaorwig7866]

Know one could ever replace you Chester .. One lite that we will forever miss .I dont think Lincon Park can be. LINCON PARK with out CHESTER. YOU ARE THE GLUE THAT HELD IT TOGETHER.... we love you Chester. R.I.P.

[@user-lu3sl7hu6r]

Absolutely!

[@acyutananda1083]

"When you write a good song, it doesn't matter what style it is, as long as the substance of the song is good." Thanks, Chester. I'm going to remember that one. And their band really embodied that principle. They've never written an album I didn't open my heart to.

[@foxylady1692]

This is so true.. All of their songs have a lot of depth and honesty. They're absoluly amazing..WOW ❤😻❤😻❤

[@chestercharlesbennington8074]

Chester is the sweetest man in this world! !

[@elshablack1579]

Can't believe Chester is gone :(

[@NikkiJ]

same

[@ajgangal]

This is so sad to watch right now. He literally looks fine, like there's nothing wrong with him. You never know what someone is going through.

[@aliciabokor9879]

Everyone has to remember that he was just recovering from the bad bout of depression. And then too have the loss of someone that you looked up to. Has got to take its toll on you mentally. Very sad boss will be felt for years to come

[@EspBeatles]

Rest In Peace Chester... We will never forget you.

[@lavpot11040425]

it's still unreal that he's gone. Him and Kobe passing affected me so much. Coz both of their deaths makes you question life.

[@chunkynumnums]

ugh it just warms my heart to know Chester Bennington and Cory Taylor are bros, so awesome.

[@ricwayne98]

Chunkynumnums yeah same =D

[@VRTX_-sc7dx]

What?

[@chunkynumnums]

xKiLLerXTa5Kx did you watch the whole interview? Chester talked Corey Taylor (Slipknot) and asked his opinion about the new single

[@dropkickmolotov]

Corey Taylor was like... "sure fuck it, whatever floats your boat man." Chester: "Corey Taylor things the new single is the shit!" Fans: "he's right, it's shit!"

[@yuxuanqi]

He's such a great man

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

Chester was Mike's number 1 fan

[@kostaskatsachnias9542]

RIP LEGEND.

[@muhammadhashir980]

[@jullybhj970]

Muhammad Hashir your comment made my heart ache

[@joshypowerzArchive]

[@RealFatherHowie]

Yeah man Chester is 100% right about Mikes voice!

[@kasztaniarz]

[@MarianoGrandoli]

Rest in Peace Chester

[@fernandosoares1923]

R.I.P Chester! Big Loss! =(

[@joescaletta4913]

Chester I wish you never took your life bro, you were blessed fortunately but you will always be remembered as a legend tho no matter what, I’m sorry you didn’t want to live no more and that you were in pain, and I understand your pain, your music and lyrics has giving so many people hope to want to keep pushing on. I almost took my life because I was sexually abused to when I was younger to, but I’m still here to fight and live another day, thankyou Chester for being the fewest to stay true in a mainstream band, I know God took you to a better place. RIP brother

[@cosmos260]

This made me feel you are still alive. Rip, miss you very much

[@user-ig6gd2oy5g]

RIP my dear.

[@chestercharlesbennington8074]

R.I.P my angel Chester ❤I love u forever💙💚

[@brodeur_edits0.9]

I don't think i could ever get fed up by Chester's Voice

[@Gpgnick89]

RIP Chester! Pure Nostalgia listening to LP! Their music helped alot of people.

[@merghost6047]

He has such a soothing voice

[@hubson1443]

Over 100 demos???? If only we could hear them...

[@videoguys1000]

Prince of Freeze you know there's this thing they do every year called Linkin Park Underground...

[@samanthaeiler5985]

I cannot believe some of the disrespectful comments on here. You are Linkin Park's and you're supposed to act like you have some class. You have nothing nice to say don't you remember the Golden Rule? I support Linkin Park through everything because Me Myself and I love Linkin Park through everything. You people disgust me with your nasty comments. I'm sure you ate your words a few months later. I love you Chester and the rest of the guys I will love you forever no matter what you do you guys are the shit

[@realswobby]

I want to listen all their 140 demos!

[@kieranstrudwick9222]

RIP💔 Chester Bennington

[@mistahac]

So the question I have is... should artists in pop music express themselves in full (even if that means changing to a new sound), or should they be making the music that their fans want (and risk becoming formulaic)? I don't mind a new sound as long as it's good and I have to say the new album, without comparisons to other albums, is quite good content.

[@DieStimmeVomDach]

RIP Chester Bennington!

[@stevenacosta1134]

😢❤❤❤❤ We miss u Chester ❤😢❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤

[@brimoneyvlogs6889]

RIP chester the best singer in the entire world

[@asadelh.28]

Idk but Sorry For Now sounds really cool. I mean Chester rapping and Mike singing on the same song?? wow! Im really looking forward to hear it

[@Bella-wo8pq]

Asadel H. Chester doesn't rap, it's the other way around

[@asadelh.28]

+Bella Sutton I know, thats why Im excited. And he does rap, he did so in Blackout from ATS and hes honestly a really good rapper. He rapped Twenty One Pilot's Heavydirtysoul with insane speed and no mistake, and also rapped Beastie Boy's "Sabotage"

[@JustJessee]

Chester himself states that he raps on a song during this interview.

[@thetonytaye]

I miss you...

[@Wilsonkel23]

Nice representation of what was in his mind

[@gerrietaylor6123]

❤It has been 6 years since Sweet Chester left us all! And he was cute! I miss him still!❤

[@danieltucker9118]

R.I.P. Chester

[@cosmicfloof618]

some of those words gave me hope...for the album

[@hmsbballer11]

looks like good goodbye should be a really good song

[@wessmusic]

Maybe it's a goodbye to their old style of music :P

[@hmsbballer11]

Wess The Mess I was just saying that because Chester said Mike raps alot on that but probably honestly 😂

[@Xakslied]

olnfan16 you were right

[@wessmusic]

Not really, I didn't like it a single bit

[@wessmusic]

I definitely won't be picking up this album and won't be going to their concert. So sad the band that I've listened to throughout the biggest part of my life had to fuck up like this..

[@FairyCRat]

So glad there's at least one song on OML with rapping from Mike!

[@ioanamovileanu8622]

you rock!!!!!

[@linkincode]

Rest in peace beautiful angel

[@emilydominko]

Kisses for Chazzy! Mwah!

[@richardcjunior]

Rest In Peace, Chester!

[@justapairofnuts]

I can't wait for this album honestly. Mikes vocals have always been a favorite of mine. Fort Minor was the shit.

[@all4god116]

Dalen Green hell yes!!!

[@aliciabokor9879]

I never watched this one, he seemed fine and happy , until his frien passed I think the death of Chris Cornell just took him down to a place he couldn't come back from, he looked up to him and was inspired by him if chris couldn't make it how could he ,plus I heard his marriage was under atrain , and then finally a relapse negative response to record , that's alot for anyone to bear so.missed .... a special human being .

[@ilon7799]

Hi! Just interesting why his marriage was going under a train? From where did you get it?

[@alejandrov9952]

hahahah Heisenberg bennigton interview hahaha.

[@chazzy4052]

Bairon Valbuena I'm the one who SINGS😝

[@amazingnothingness]

Evolving is cool. But y'all had a great sound, don't completely abandon it. Going to listen to Hybrid Theory.

[@sg0310]

Linkin Parks logic- Here's what our fans want, lets go completely 180!

[@bradleywatts123]

so sad :(

[@cjj963]

This interviewer is obviously not a big LP fan...👎🏻 Thank goodness Chester is a pro.

[@femmyishere933]

Why is this channel verified when it only has 2000 subs?

[@tee4052]

Lol coffee doesn't affect me either. Good to know I have something similar to chester 😊

[@nanakrampu4468]

Who is Linkin Park? Big band work faster 2 3 luxurious

[@nanakrampu4468]

My note 😀

[@sudharsanpaskaran]

Good luck Lp fans

[@guts2657]

Chester is friends with Corey but called Slipknot "hard rock"? Umm Chester my man you may be a little off on that one :p

[@farhansyed3782]

Well he is no more

[@RailwayvideosbyMrN]

So Zane low is to blame for Heavy! Keel heem!

[@wendywheeler9344]

Chester committed suicide some years ago. This is sad & creepy to start posting this NOW.

[@acidpalms]

150 songs and they picked Heavy.... interesting...

[@nylp9165]

Acid Palms I'm really glad they did. I've never connected as instantly with a song as Heavy, right from the first line to the last. I know it's not everyone's style, but I love it.

[@linkinkrap462]

seems legit to wear sunglasses in winter, indoors

[@lidyvoitier9661]

chester Bennington is ... dead....

[@ScorpionMaster1224]

i like linkin park, they are a great band and i like that they expeiriment but heavy is a TERRIBLE song.

[@jamalmalik3617]

Brandon Gutierrez I agree. I personally like both pop and rock songs, and I actually enjoyed their more experimental albums because they were new and different to what was already out there. This song however just seems like the same kind of stuff we saw from 2016 and is just a filler song.

[@flashteenz]

Bruh even the metal covers and 'nu-metal' rehearsals from them sound TONNES better than the original lmao

[@iz3127]

I think there might be a NU metal version? Or...

[@fappybirthday3353]

I hope you respect heavy more now...

[@iyanlamandy2067]

I bet your feeling pretty bad now

[@bringjeffthehorizon]

P.S. the new music SUCKS!

[@thedreamer4793]

Well at least chester was still here

[@rosered9200]

Heavy is such a heavy disappointment!!

[@bmodz1264]

Rose Red i just hate you...

[@rens4329]

he likes twenty one pilots, thats why their music sucks now

[@blactearsf5538]

Umm he always liked twenty one pilots I think, and their music was good no matter what genre listen to the lyrics

[@samirahassan2079]

Chester always love twenty one pilots 😮😮 I am a huge fan of them as well they are awesome 😢😢😢

[@bringjeffthehorizon]

I think its so stupid that he wears sunglasses at a interview, talk about disrespectful

[@dannyjay735]

He was a star who gives a shit.

[@courage3001]

Well we obviously didn't know what he was going through to the full extent. The guy could have had a panic attack or just broke down before the interview.. or couldn't sleep the entire night because if his illness but humans don't really take anything much into consideration.

[@leahlune]

Chester was always very respectful and accommodating to media and fans. He was known for his kindness. It was only in the last few months of his life that he began wearing sunglasses-but he had his reasons. Maybe he felt more secure, less exposed/vulnerable? Or like someone else said-maybe he’d been grieving, and didn’t want the world to see his eyes? You can think it’s stupid and disrespectful. However, I’d suggest learning about who he was as a person. He’s not missed just bc of his amazing voice. He’s missed bc he was basically sunshine in human form.

[@SycosTV]

What a load of crap hahahaha
