Chester's irreplacable. Let's make that clear. BUT, and this is a big but, If the rest of the guys genuinely want to move on and start touring, who are we to tell them off? All of them are talented musicians that deserve to make music again. It's been near enough 7 years. Bands usually move on quicker than that. It's not our place to tell them what they can or can't (or rather should or shouldn't) do. The only thing that would be a bit disasppointing is If it wasn't all of the guys + the new vocalist. It should be all of the remaining members imho. If it actually happens, it's gonna be for sure an interesting new era for LP. But until we hear something from the guys themselves, I don't believe anything.

I disagree only because the majority of the lyrics were about Chester and he sang them and interpreted them as about himself. When he sang, he sang with full emotion because he related so well to the lyrics, and I think he was supposed to carry that role. I think a guest vocalist is the way to go who is good enough to sound similar but not try to look similar to Chester. Like the vocalist from Hybrid Theory I don't think would be right.

There is very big chance that Jay has been talking to people that are close to LP's inner circle as several other Orgy members played in Chester side project Dead by Sunrise. I know they were very close with Chester, especially Ryan Shuck, and if I recall correctly Ryan is friends with at least Mike too. The biggest rumour has been that vocalist is Bonnie Fraser from Stand Atlantic, who has great relationship with Mike and she posted a Instagram story where she took a picture of their band in rehersal and had caption "They dont know I'm ditching them for Linkin Park". She very quickly removed that story. For LP's future I would love to see them making music and tour with a new vocalist, but retire the name Linkin Park and continue under new name. Everybody know who they are so the name change would not slow them down at all as everybody would still be talking about them.

So i think the best way for them to move on is to hire or recruit a female, now that doesnt mean they are, but any male vocalist would 100% be compared to CB and it would not he fair to the band or whoever the male singer would be. Time will tell, but if they miss playing music live then i hope they are able to find comfort in whoever they chose.

They're too respectful and intelligent for that. But yeah, I could totally see a guest singer thing going on, like Queen did with Adam Lambert. Which I was fortunate enough to enjoy live along with my parents. And it was our BEST shared concert experience like ever in 2017. My mom still brings it up today.

They deserve to make a decision they are happy with, even if fan reception would be bad. IF they have a new vocalist, they‘ll have to face an uphill battle because I‘m sure they will be getting a good amount of hate for it.

Just hearing about this now, it's probably best not to trust a source like MetalSucks as they're basically the metal news version of TMZ. I honestly still think that if Linkin Park were ever to tour again, there would not be a replacement for Chester and all of his vocals would be the crowd's job. There are only 1 or 2 vocalists I can think of that MAYBE would be a good fill-in, but we all know for a fact it's not gonna be a permanent thing where they are in the studio recording new music with the band. However, if LP does announce that they're gonna start touring again, you bet I'll be first in line for tickets. I unfortunately never got to see them live before Chester died, so a very small part of me hope this comes to fruition.

Off the top of my head, a couple girls who could do what Chester does for a tour: Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer Candace Kucsulain from Walls of Jericho Courtney LePlante from iwrestledabearonce and Spiritbox Alissa White-Gluz from Arch Enemy All 4 of them have the stage presence, screams, and cleans to do everything Chester does live.

It is a sticky situation the rest of the band is in. They are all amazing and didn’t ask for the band to”end” because of Chester’s choice. OBVIOUSLY they would like to continue as the original and loved band they were, but that is not an option. I feel we have to embrace whatever choice they make. They aren’t trying to replace Chester, they are just trying to figure out how to move on. I am sure anything they do will be in his honor.

Well, I know a female vocalist, a KZbin indie artist that Mike interacts with, and I've heard her covers. She's really good. If Mike were going to do a tribute tour with a female artist, I think it would probably be her. I'm not going to say her name because I'm afraid of her getting hate, I know how KZbin can be. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds though.

Three months ago, Mike Shinoda posted a video which was a studio performance / Music video for a project called 'Already Over.' In that video titled 'Already Over Sessions: Episode 3 [London] - Mike Shinoda' there is a second vocalist who is female. - I believe the Orgy singer saw part of that video and made speculations, or he heard speculation from someone else who saw part of that video.

No one can replace Chester, fans were heartbroken when Chester's gone, but unless LP disbands, otherwise they gotta move on. I may not like the new vocalist, but I can understand if they find a new singer.

The last thing I remember about Linkin Park was they were just another rap/rock band... then they essentially released the same album 3 times. So I'm definitely getting old... as sad as it is of the passing of any decent human. I couldn't care less who they chose to replace, it's like the Pantera tribute... knowing that they were friends and letting a new generation hear the music live... then trust the band... also agree with Tank. Orgy's first album was good. But Linkin Park was just another Limp Bizkit back in '99, it was the last step over the edge to me quitting my high school band. But I'd be all for them going in a totally different direction to honour Bennington's contribution.

Honestly, there's only one female singer that came to my mind, who I could picture doing a tribute tour or something like that with LP, and that's Sandra Nasic. Simply for vocals, but I also do not expect that to actually happen, even if Guano Apes and LP made it big more or less around the same time.

I'm a LP fan since 2002. Was part of LPU from 2004 to 2018. I deeply love the guys. Have flame tattoos that was my childhood dream getting, have Chester tattooed in my forearm. And i can tell you: Linkin Park was view as lame from the third album to 2017. After Chester passed away, the public opinion recognized how great the band really was/is. Every fucking record they've put out from the third one to the last one, was critized by the media and metal fans as " worse than shit ". That was to a point that Chester himself was so fed up with all that shit that he started to fight with fans, and being rude to fans. Corey Taylor had to come public and critize him and he came and apolozige but you can see that he was so so so so fucking done with that mentallity people had that " linkin park has to do the exact same thing everytime ". But linkin park was all about innovating and finding new cool ways to do music. He and the band was so into that thought that you can't even recognize the old linkin park sound to the 2017 sound. And that's exactly what they wanted. So i can GUARANTEE that he would find AWESOME to have a girl as a lead singer of the band. And all that shit that people are throwing at the band for the mere SPECULATION of having a female vocalist, it's just the same shit they did that lead Chester to the worst year of his life, his words. Those people who have listen to a few LP singles and call themself fans, they hurt the band more than anything. Bring that girl as lead vocalist and let linkin park do what linkin park loves and always did: new stuff, different stuff and cool stuff no one's doing. Let the band find hapiness playing together once more for god sake

Hey if they would be starting again, that would be great. I can understand that it may have taken some time for them to process, most likely grieve. I always wondered why they did not simply disband LP. If they start again and move on, that would be great. And a female vocalist would be a definitive sign of a new start. I'd give them a chance on starting new. P.S. that situation reminds me of Queen after the death of Freddy Mercury.

A, i do kind of think it's more likely to be a guest for touring rather than a full on replacement, if it isn't just fully made up speculation. B, it has been seven years, and straight up, as long as they found someone who would do it justice, touring or full member, i can respect the time and space they gave their fans before theoretically testing the waters with a new vocalist C, there's a few newer female vocalists i genuinely think could kill it. The vocalists from Spiritbox, Jinjer, and Poppy to name a few. They would almost definitely be guests because they already have their own bands, but i absolutely think they would do Chester proud.

Love LP, if they return I look forward to what they bring. I love how they adapted over time, tried new things and branched out. They are all talented and Mike a solid visionary. I doubt they would "replace" Chester. No one could "replace" him. But they could bring a new singer in and try some new things. Sounds far fetched but I won't hate on em for doing something.

I'm right there with you, and I don't think this is true. However, if they wanted to go on one final HUGE tour, I can see them marketing it as Linkin Park with [insert person here], as you also mentioned. Have there been bands who've captured lightning in a bottle with new vocalists, definitely. The two that instantly come to mind are AC/DC and Journey, but to say they're going to replace Chester I think is just absolutely false.

To be fair …orgy released ( if memory serves) 3 albums. But they were by no means a “1 hit wonder”. There was blue Monday and stitches. On their 2nd album it was dreams in digital. Then after their 3rd album it was pretty much over. But they had some great songs.

Personally, if Linkin Park were to move on and get a new permanent member, I think they'd find someone unique, rather than a Chester copycat. When I first heard about this article, my first thought was that it'd be a temporary member who's there during tours. This is why, when we hear about reunions of much beloved bands, you take the information with a grain of salt, until you hear an official announcement from the band. And I have yet to have heard any official announcements regarding that.
