Hey are you aware will covered more sleep token? I’d love to see you listen to his version of rain that he just did

[@ohmygoatt]

Chris. Im your student (poor version) tq ❤

[@aang547]

i cried real tears when i saw they finally put this on spotify

[@TooYoungToDie0919]

Same

[@MrLinkinJason]

The live performance is wayyy better in demonstrating the amount of TALENT and POWER Chester had in his vocals. BUT the studio version is just as insane 🤘🤘

[@stephanyampolsky7187]

100% the studio one sounds more like a demo

[@GambitRaps]

I cannot believe they didn’t put this on the album. The 2006 live version is one of the most insane performances I’ve ever seen. Chester is a world class vocalist, so unlike anyone else. League of his own.

[@Take_a_Hike84]

Mark Morton from Lamb of God created a song "Cross Off" ft. Chester. It came out after Chester's passing. But Chester's vocals are absolutely fantastic as always! His second best vocals I've heard in a studio song!

[@MrLinkinJason]

That's a banger 🤘

[@sparkside217]

crazy that it was recorded around the same time as OML too, I love the diversity of Chester/LPs catalog

[@plazima]

@@sparkside217 not really?

[@fuzzyspain]

​@@sparkside217wasn't it recorded around meteor a time

[@sparkside217]

@@fuzzyspain QWERTY was recorded in 2006, Cross Off was recorded in 2017

[@taraduddy7687]

OOOOH yeah! Gotta go listen to the live version now from all the comments.

[@ParkerBourassa]

It’s crazy to see how much your own technique has improved recently Chris! It’s inspiring watching a teacher learn and get even better

[@ancatdal]

Thank you so much for sharing you insights into Chester's techniques once again, it's always amazing to listen to. I'm not a singer, or even a musician, but it's still fascinating to listen to, and wonderful to hear someone appreciate his vocals with more knowledge than I have ❤

[@oscarhopps]

There’s a documentary on the recording process of song “black out” and you hear only Chester scream with no added effects just him screaming in the microphone.

[@fireheart0503]

That’s one of my favorites ever

[@phosphorusmusick]

Chris, do you know the Soundtrack to the movie "Queen of the Damned"? Jonathan Davis produced the soundtrack to it and invited many other badass vocalists to contribute to the songs and Chester sung on the song "System". In my humble opinion, Chester's vocals on System are the darkest and most visceral he's probably ever recorded. Check it out if you haven't! :) QWERTY is still heavy AF, though!

[@tatamama-mn2xe]

it's crazy how after all these years there isn't a single person who can do this type of screaming as good as chester did. the guy from too close to touch was phenomenal but tragically he also died:(

[@krudmuphinstudioz]

I don't know if it's a remaster or what, but this studio version has always been around and available on the internet for as long as I can remember. It's been on my iPod for many years. Glad to see they re-released it though. Not many people know about this song.

[@TheOfficialDuBsTeC]

it was always on one of these Demos they here and there dropped with some albums. So yeah its been around might be remastered to a "modern" level though doesnt sound different so who knows.

[@maykimoon]

Funny, so many time you want try but you stop yourself cause you assume that it's crazy hard to reach ahaha love it ! love your video brother, keep it up

[@jonrosseauac]

This and chester's live performance of blackout (where he screams and rap at the same time) has gotta be the most challenging chester vocalss

[@stephaniewade2973]

Have you seen them perform live in Tokyo 2006? That's the first time they ever performed it (they actually wrote it on the way to that concert) way better!

[@ivan66773]

His pitch screams are insane

[@online_spy_007]

Would love to hear you do a cover of this song!

[@SiriSawaengchokchai-ct3xi]

One thing I like about this studio version is most of the sounds are very raw. Like they record in the studio and release it without very much edit on computer lol.

[@habhdyst722]

Another fantastic video, chris. Love the channel and energy you bring into your videos.

[@lemonsoda1122]

I was having fun doing those heavy diaphragm screams along with ya. Another great video bro.

[@aristarec]

Oh my god that's insane😅!

[@papasusej7718]

Live version is the best for me

[@vesemir900]

Just insane… miss him so much 😣

[@mbrad2669]

Awesome 👌

[@lisan_al-ghaib]

I actually likethe live version they did in Japan better than the stuido one.

[@CellarStudioProductions]

Ohhhh exciting!

[@timetorelax7776]

The live version of this is better than audio version Live in Japan qwerty

[@Ezeriasz]

One thing we can say about Chester's singing is that even when he let it loose, he always have everything under control.

[@matsn6777]

I wasn’t prepared for this. Holy damn

[@hellaslayin7175]

What’s so strange about his vocals that I just don’t seem anybody else come close to is that he has this trademark tone when he screams higher notes where there’s the fundamental high note but it doesn’t sound like a high note at all until you try it yourself because he has this ridiculous amount of low octave harmonics to it. It’s not a mixing/production thing. There are vids of Chester out there screaming those kinda notes acapella too. It’s as if his register sits a bit somewhere else to most singers. It’s as if he’s having so much chest voice foundation in it while it’s not really a chest voice at the same time. Just as you demonstrated in the video, but the problem is that there is too much distance between that low and high note where he just somehow still gets to close the gap so smoothly. I just think some voices just naturally cannot do that even if you were to practice forever. I honestly don’t know how to explain it any better but it’s just so unique to him. The weirdest thing ever. You gotta check out his vocals in the track called “cross off” and his Grey Daze stuff. So much different voicing in there to Linkin Park to unpack. What’s also almost scary is that we can only learn from him, but if you think about it, who the hell did he get that from? He didn’t. It was just natural for him to sing in perfection like that. Magical

[@cam3lwolfman]

I honestly think its mainly that he has such a high range and that his chest voice naturally sits very high. He is singing and screaming such high notes but with chest voicing and most other male vocalist cannot do those notes with their chest voice.

[@GoddaryuTUBE]

Pretty sure anyone that was between 10-20 during Linkin Parks rise had them as the reason they got into heavier music

[@adamlindall3208]

“Layered Chester” new album name.

[@thecatalyst7495]

Please also do a video for QWERTY live version in tokyo

[@thedefaultplayer5273]

if you want chester's heavy vocals, you should listen to Figure.09, Lying From You, From the Inside all from Meteora album. as well as Given Up from Minutes to Midnight and Keys to the Kingdom from The Hunting Party. All bangers

[@chrisliepe]

I've done a full breakdown of Given up! Hope you get a chance to watch it!

[@joelants5207]

I like that above and beyond ideas on screams, i'm kind of like whats the next level myself? My mind sees to want to work on the vowels, but i already got the ones im familiar with. then my mind is like, is there a beyond for those sceams? is it low growls? a cats meow then? what tops t?

[@rob6171]

I know that this may be a bit late in suggestion, but....maybe take a listen to White Noise by Chester Bennington, from the soundtrack to Mall, it's an older one but I think you'd appreciate it! 🤘

[@joelants5207]

457, what I hear is I., though for a moment I thought I heard "hurt" that back there expression might symbolize, like hey I am feeling outside of myself, maybe hurt or hard in troubles, then he says his inside is hollow, further demonstrating with his words maybe feeling outside of himself, or in the backround. So the background of what? I wonder why he felt so disconnected. Wish I could be there. So when He says "I" it sounds so "accepted" to me, like there's something hes come to terrms with. In his final days, what could he have been feeling? Have you been there? That's what I see. I see your care for this singer and their struggles.

[@alonsandler7670]

Hey Chris - thanks so much for your work!!! Question - Could you please talk about your specific voice fatigue? Do you get fatigued? How much stamina do you have to sing in the resonances you show in your clips? And is it natural to fatigue and how much fatigue means you're doing something wrong? Thanks!

[@chrisliepe]

Great idea! I actually have a whole section in my group coaching program called Stamina Builder and another one called Mindfulness Builder where I break down all of the things you asked about and much more. You can try it out at mymusicalvoice.com it’s called Sing Together 365.

[@Degloved]

one of my top 5 songs tbh. tho i do prefer the Live version because it has the Clean vocals. From screams directly to Very clean vocals

[@vonzarooz]

i haven’t been able to learn fry scream for like 8 years

[@chrisliepe]

Hope you get to check out my most recent video on fry screaming! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3erm6iphtWWe8ksi=ZYin6bwC_8ca4-Ca

[@Oky-v9j]

please react to “Fall little Wendy Bird Fall” by Lydia the Bard please!

[@heyaimjusthere]

You kinda look like my dad if he went bald

[@user-oy7gz5bf2h]

Many prefer the old live version. Being unfamiliar with either prior to now, I really like the pitches Chester uses on the studio version.

[@acoustic_avalanche9905]

Can you do a voice analysis of Carey head’s cover of Jeff Buckley’s I woke up in a strange place?

[@russellspear6188]

You mentioned Chester's voice being light. It seems counterintuitive that a light voice could excel at heavy music. Why don't people with heavy voices have a natural advantage at singing heavy music? I don't understand the science of all of it, but I would think it would be kind of like a guitar string. A guitar string produces sound based on the tension of the string and the gauge of the string. Make the string tighter and the pitch goes up. Make it looser and the pitch goes down. It sounds a note by vibrating at a specific tension and our vocal cords make sound by vibrating at a certain tension when the air from our lungs when the edges of the vocal cords come together. Heavier guitar string gives a fuller, thicker, heavier sound because of the frequencies and harmonics that come from it. Papa Het uses a custom 11-50 set of strings. .42 is a standard low E string and James is using a .50. If James used a lighter than average string, say a .38 for the low E, it wouldn't sound heavy at all. If a light voice is kind of like a .38 - lighter than average, how does it end up sounding heavy???

[@michaellind9650]

Another singer with a higher tone that goes harsh is David dremond of disturbed

[@lisan_al-ghaib]

Hey Chris, could you please do Easy On Me by Adelle. It has lots of style transitions between verses and seems kinda hard.

[@GabrielErikAlexmarski]

Can you do a multitrack reaction on michael jackson's it's the falling in love please

[@derpderp2590]

Heyy I'm in the process of learning mixed voice, but when I get to the mixed voice coordination, it sounds weird and it's as if I'm having a strained tone (like I'm using the same muscles as trying to shit a hard brick lol). I know that is the way to use support but how do I sing in a lighter mixed voice without that (a combination of I'm shitting bricks + Mickey mouse nasality), cos when I try singing lighter at higher notes I end up cracking Typical bass problems lolz

[@michaellee2652]

there is a reason why it wasn't produced!

[@kevinchristiancastillo2017]

Linkin Park Live in SummerSonic 2006 is way heavier and better screams and growls of Chester

[@beehype46and2]

Comment for da algorithm Streak count: 362

[@Dynamofoe]

I wouldn’t say you have a heavier / weighty voice 🤔 sounds really bright, nasally, and brassy to me 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@chrisliepe]

It's heavier than Chester's. He had a super light voice! I agree, it is bright and brassy and nasally to me too :)

[@mestayno]

I don’t like that snare

[@jasminsbaa4220]

Chester's voice is awesome and he was one of those singers who could hardly perform every song. Would be interesting if you could react to Welshly Arms: "I surrender". Would be cool:)

[@neelo821]

Next song: _MOD SUN - "Flames" (Feat. Avril Lavigne)_
