Still can’t believe it’s been 7 years. I was walking around my college campus and got a call from my best friend in tears telling me about Chester’s death and I just fell to the ground and sat there for 15 minutes processing it all. He was one of the voices that shaped me as I grew up.

[@deanwinchester6965]

i feel you i remember it just like it was yesterday

[@bucket963]

I feel that bro he died on my birthday that year and at the time I was homeless, no wallet id, social and living in my car. All the time his songs saved me that was heavy to deal with

[@silver_crone]

I hear you. He deeply influenced me through my 30s, and more than once that voice brought me back from the edge. 7 years ago still feels like yesterday. Sending you virtual hugs.

[@kennethh8133]

@@silver_crone I’ll take them, it feels like just the other night sometimes too. Gone far too soon

[@0ExpectTheUnexpected]

I feel you. Linkin Park carried me through so many things in life. I saw the news that we lost Chester on my birthday at a celebration dinner while sitting next to a person who had tried to assault me previously at work. Just went home and stared at a wall wondering how this could happen. Every year there’s a time to listen to Chester on my birthday. I wonder what he’d have to say in his music as the years have passed.

[@TheBeelzboss]

It was Mike, joe, Dave, and Brad to decide. If anyone has an opinion on it, it doesn't matter. Either accept it and listen or not.

[@brianstevenson6093]

Still can’t listen to this song without tearing up

[@kennethgriffen]

I have cried my eyes out a million times to this song. it means every thing to me after losing my favorit pet to cancer

[@DenDave_]

Yes, they did. No one could ever replace Chester, and no matter what they were never gonna be able to make everyone happy, but that doesn't have to mean that LP dies with him. Emily isn't a replacement, she's the next chapter. Honestly The Emptiness Machine felt very much like a classic LP song, extremely so even. If that song is any indication for the upcoming album, then i am all the way on board.

[@Izzy.Izzy.B]

Please don't support a cult that is now using Emily as part of their recruitment arm. I think the band should go on, but given the beliefs of a Scientologist, Emily can't connect with the subject matter! * To understand, I found excellent content on Growing Up in Scientology, which explains the controversy. She could distance herself from the cult easily, without any negative effects on herself. The fact that she says nothing, screens that she's an active Scientologist. Pathetic they allowed her to sing Chesters vocals.

[@setofreakinkaiba8553]

​@Izzy.Izzy.B maybe some of us don't want to connect with it in the way we had before. I listened to LP at my lowest and since his death, I cannot listen to those songs. Emily gives a whole new meaning to the songs. It's no longer about being depressed is about fighting through that shit.

[@danieljohnston3065]

​@Izzy.Izzy.B Maybe she says nothing because the people who need to know what she believes already do. I've been saying it for a month, the band wouldn't pick a singer they didn't trust and believe in, and if they trust Emily then so do I.

[@Izzy.Izzy.B]

@@danieljohnston3065 stay ignorant, it's OK. Sadly, you just don't understand.

[@danieljohnston3065]

@@Izzy.Izzy.B I understand that Chester in his last days wanted his fans to be caring and compassionate and not to dwell on the past, whether it be his past or anyone else's. To be forgiving of others, whatever their path. So I know and understand all I need to.

Linkin Park and Eminem touched so much struggling life's, like me. I am grown with this mans. RİP CHESTER

[@amymbeauty8765]

So true! They were actually two of my huge favorites back then, too. Even all these years later, they're still in my top ten of goats!

[@wreckball2315]

Same. And to think we could have lost Eminem too, damn!!

[@celtzen]

This song is equally a warm hug and a deep cut. That voice and heart such a f*ing senseless loss. It really is unfair when it's your own brain that is your worst enemy. That voice is wrong. Don't listen. The world is a shinier place with you in it.

[@BitWrecker]

Live version on Jimmy Kimmel the morning Chris passed away is amazing, and has "the scream"

[@tylerwelsh3858]

hands down the best version!

[@qpSubZeroqp]

​@@tylerwelsh3858For sure! I wonder why it's not on his official channel anymore though. It used to be up there though

[@ShawnsLoop]

That scream is probably the most emotionally raw thing I've ever heard put to music. It hits me deeply every time I hear it. It's hidden in the mix on this version, but on the live version...it manifests all his anger and sorrow at Chris Cornell's passing.

[@JoeyDecay]

Man, they didn't off themselves. I can't believe it after deep diving into Chris Cornell's police reports and everything after he died. Stuff doesn't add up. I'm a huge Soundgarden and Chris Cornell fan. It was rough.

[@Ranganation]

@@JoeyDecayYes they did off themselves. Especially Chester. He had a fucked childhood where he was molested… he had depression all his life, then he lost best friend. That’s enough to set someone off the edge.

[@MrNoelyG]

I'm old enough to have been 18 when these guys broke out. Followed them evermore. When chester passed i messaged my best friend (the only friend who shared my taste in this music) Im 45 Sunday, anout 6 months and Boothy was gone and this song still breaks me, every time. R.I.P Boothy xxxxxx

[@ThaPietjah]

watching my second favorite rapper dissecting the lyrics of my favorite childhood band with tears in my eyes. "In the kitchen one more chair then you need" that one gets me all the time.

[@izzy8505]

I really think that wherever Chester is he is happy that Linkin Park is back, I am happy that the band is back, life goes on and they have to move on

[@musiclove543]

No he's not

[@feyenoordfreakjeremy]

​@@musiclove543 u say he's not but how can u know

[@Fyre11]

@@musiclove543 He definitely would be. He loved his band, and the "fans" that are being awful now, are no doubt the same ones that drove him to take his life when they spewed hate over the band's last musical direction change before he was gone. He just wanted to make music with his friends, of course he would want them to continue to do that.

[@Blackasnight751]

​@@Fyre11 While I agree that Chester would want the band to go on and that all he really cared about was making music with his friends, I don't think it's right to say that the fans are the ones who drove Chester to take his own life. It’s okay if a fan doesn’t agree with a band’s decision. I mean, I don’t necessarily agree with their decision to come back, even though I do think it’s what Chester would have wanted; it just doesn’t feel right to me. But that doesn’t mean I hate Linkin Park or something silly like that-I just don’t agree with them. Chester loved all his fans, even those who didn’t agree with everything the band did, and I don’t think he would want to see his fans blaming each other for something that was ultimately his decision.

[@latishabuckner8231]

​@@Blackasnight751well said. Chester's voice is what caught my attention and drew me to listen to their music. Without him it's not the same.

[@jaylamize3540]

There's this song Mike Shinoda performed at the celebration of life for Chester called "Looking For An Answer" you might like listening to. You can hear the pain in his voice as he sings it.

[@LinayatIlyas]

What a song this is. Everytime i listen to it i tear up. So strange, loving and caring and missing someone youve never even met...

[@Eva-212]

R.I.P Chester.

[@chriscaine1776]

I went back last week and listened to this album for the first time in 7 years. Front to back and back to Front. I found each way told such a different story.

[@eliasorellana6983]

Hi Knox, I wish your mother well during this battle. Three months ago, my girlfriend was innocently killed in a car accident. It's so fucking unfair. This song resonates with me so much. Linkin Park and especially Chester helped me so much at different stages of my life, now more than ever. I recommend listening to the song: Over Again by Mike Shinoda. Greetings from Germany!

[@msellenandrea]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[@trajanfidelis]

I'm sorry man, for what it's worth I'll be praying for you.

[@CleverPolarBear]

I stopped listening to Linkin Park after Chester passed. Like so many of you, I was deeply effected by his passing and hearing the music brought back the tears of loosing someone who unbeknownst to them helped me through so many things in my life. Litening to the music brought back the ghosts. Hearing Emily's new song, listening to their live concerts and watching the way she is starting to embrace the fans, and how they are starting to embrace her, it gives me hope for the future and I've started listening to the band again.

[@My_NameJeff]

I remember when Chester passed away, i just couldnt stop listening to this song for such a long time and thinking about him.

[@lpmegs123]

I don’t know why I have such a connection, it’s not like I actually knew him personally. Maybe it’s because he gave us so much of his self in his music. If I remember correctly he wrote this song for the loss of Chris Cornell which makes it even harder. Miss Chester!! Hopefully he is at peace and happy

[@Ranganation]

Na it wasn’t written for Chris. It was someone the band knew who died of cancer I believe

[@jenhuntington1002]

Ty for doing this Knox, I’ve never been able to get over Chester and now with LP moving on, and the drama that has come along with that… we will all remember Chester ❤️

[@bertieblack5639]

One of my best friends took their own life just over a week ago. Since then, this song hits me SO differently than when it was just about Chester, and about Chris of course. And it hit me a lot then so now, it's really difficult. Thank you for sharing this reaction brother 🖤

[@msellenandrea]

I'm so sorry for your loss

[@BitRecoil]

This song has never stopped breaking my heart. 7 years and I still bawl my eyes out whenever I hear it, it cuts so deep as it is but feeling the extra layer it had after Chester passed is just something I've not gotten over.

[@blueline15]

I’ve thought of this a lot, that Chester gave an entire generation enough music to get through the lowest lows, to pull out of the deepest levels of depression. His voice has saved many from his own fate, likely my life too. I remember screaming Linkin Park lyrics and felt like they “got” me when my family was falling apart as a teenager. But no one was able to save Chester. I’m honored to have shared this planet at the same time. Love you Chester ❤

[@TheBigAngryHobo]

I just saw LP in Brooklyn Monday and it was amazing but man, Chester will never be replaced. You should watch the live version on Kimmel. It was the day that Chris Cornell died which I think was the last thing Chester could handle. He left us on Chris Cornell’s birthday. RIP.

[@pablojams5152]

I saw Soundgarden just a day or 2 before Chris Cornell passed, and was gutted. Then was crushed yet again hearing that Chester passed mere days before getting to see them in concert.

[@melissa06660]

That second chorus hits me the hardest every single time. I lost my grandpa when I was 17. His spot was always that one specific chair in the kitchen. When he passed no one could sit there. Still to this day, 26 years later I still feel heavy when I’m in that kitchen. This song every time 😭

[@Augustox13]

Hermosa canción! un excelente artista!!!

[@darkdrakan316]

Picked this song for my mums funeral, Linkin Park got me through so many dark times and no celebrity death effected me as much as Chester’s.

[@allanc_me763]

i was so down these couple of days that I play this on loop everyday

[@danielleelizaharpz]

As a fan of the band from day one I am Happy they are back on stage doing what they love and I can’t imagine what they went through loosing Chester X as for me I feel no connection to them with the new members and new music ‘ Chester saved me time and again ! His personality his voice his words and how he made me feel the way he sang . I have no bad words for Mike Brad Joe and Dave : but the bands just isn’t for me now ‘ It died with Chester ! I wish them all the best in the world and am grateful for what they gave me but the loss of Chester was too much for me and for me he can’t be replaced and it’s not the same xo

[@suzieq804]

I have literally watched this video 50,000 times or more and it makes me cry everytime. The footage of his smiles and laughter are so warming to know he was dealing with so much pain alone. And thats how i feel all alone in dealing with my pain. Its just heavy a load to carry...it's just so damn heavy.

[@claresteel283]

If you haven’t yet, listen to Leave Out All The Rest. It’ll probably bring you to tears with the lyrics but it’s an amazing song

[@LadyHusker999]

This song got me from the first time i heard it. A good friend of my niece had just died by suicide about a week before and she and I just sobbed as we listened and I was trying to help her get through that time.

[@vanguardgaming1779]

My grandfather passed away a few weeks before my 23rd birthday. I was walking downstairs to get a drink after playing video games with a friend and I saw him on the floor motionless. It was scary for me, every time I think about it I wished I could’ve been there sooner, but I knew there was nothing we could do. Rest in peace grandpa💔 I miss you

[@whipdan674]

It doesn't matter what happens with LP going forward, Chester will always be remembered as a legendary vocalist.

[@gpjones1986]

I still cry every time i hear thos song.

[@zidapi]

This song is soul crushing. A song that was initially written for someone important to the band, but was ultimately released after Chester’s passing, and had wound up being a tribute to him. Ugh.

[@MRIRONLAK]

Never have i imagined to going to a lp concert an having the time of my life not knowing 4 months later it's gone.. made me respect all moments we get in life even more..

[@The1234andyh]

I genuinely believe this was his cry for help done in his own way, and a msg to people that maybe don't need help to look out for people who do! You don't know what some ones going through! R.I.P to a legend!

[@AllieRose1348]

When i was a responder for the suicide help line I would listen to this song between calls. Its so raw & real. ❤

[@IAmMajor101]

God Bless You, Chester! Rest in Peace...Love, Major!😔💔

[@MrZlord23]

This song hits the hardest because they released this official video the morning of the fateful day that Chester ended his own life. The rest of the band, the LP crew behind the scenes, the fans, hell even his own blood family did not see it coming and the signs and cries for help from way back. Its obvious that it was Chris Cornell's suicide that pushed Chester to the edge as he was his closest mentor and he sang Hallelujah in his funeral and killed himself in the anniversary of Chris's death as well.

[@d3lllt]

You should watch his final live performance of this song

thank you for this. couldnt even click it and was already in tears thanking you. just lost my young niece a few days ago and you could have done this video over the years but instead miraculously released it now. stay strong brother, for your family and yourself. idk how you made it through this without falling apart completely. Much Love. R.I.P. Chester and Salena, you never knew how much the world needed you.

[@PixelsPencil]

Hey Knox, big fan here, my father passed last year after a fight with S4 cancer and we struggled to select a song that we knew he'd like for a tribute part of his service, he always liked LP but not one of us heard this until we stumbled on it and it suited the service so well, the song was played alongside his life in photos of him growing up and bringing us into the world and our family growing with him and us growing with him with the last photo being a special one of all of us while the song got to the peak riff, the song hits me hard each time I hear it like it broke me that day of the funeral, it's hard to hear but always makes me recall so many many memories I have with him. I sincerely hope your mum wins her fight, I know how heavy the process is all I can do is send you love and strength. Thanks for reading if you did. Peace

[@kawaiichubs3942]

I just recently lost my brother last month and this song has me in tears especially the one more chair that u need. Chester was one of a kind RIP Chester Bennington 😢

[@Dtin]

I will watch you react to LP’s ENTIRE discography. This is my favorite musical act of all time, no song this band touches could be labeled as “bad” to me. Maybe that’s my blindness in fandom, maybe it’s because I feel their music on another level. Regardless, LP > Everyone.

[@cazzhalsall9186]

I lost a very close friend to S* the year after Chester passed. Linkin Park were one of many shared favourites. He'd struggled with his mental health for a few years beforehand. Chester passed away, and it hit him hard. Just over a year later and he was gone too. I saw and spoke to him the afternoon it happened. His sister called to tell me the next day. I carried guilt for years, I know now that there was nothing I could have said or done to change his mind, but the "what if"s still catch me off guard sometimes. This one stung 💔

[@matthea5362]

You are in my thoughts and prayers for your mother. You are totally right about the emotional connection that Chester could transfer to all of us who were, or are still suffering.

I'll never forget watching LP perform this live just before Chester died. Watching my recordings of this song back just hit differently after. I'd actually said to my best friend at the time that you could really hear pain in his voice. I'm pretty sure this was also the song that he said he dedicates to his family, but I can't be 100% sure on that. It's definitely haunting to hear it now.

[@jasonmoore9295]

I really don't know if there is a "right decision" in this kind of situation. LP could've announced that they're "done" and gone their own respected ways as talented individuals, and of course, people (understandably) would've been mixed with that decision.

This song was written for an employee that passed away from breast cancer but the band then dedicated it to Chester.

[@Defensive_Wounds]

This music video was taken from fans filming their shows, they asked for fans to submit videos and they edited them into this work of art! This song is so bittersweet, it is beautiful but reminds us all of what we have lost when we hear him almost crying whilst singing in parts...it hurts.
