I love how Linkin Park did not replace Chester and just kept he's soul alive in the voice of the crowd, it's pure beauty

[@CopperSteed]

Agreed. Besides, can we all agree that Chester is completely irreplaceable in Linkin Park? The way Mike carries the legacy is amazing.

[@neelanshukumar4308]

[@cosmicparsec9463]

But I think Chester would want the band to have a new lead singer. After all, Chester replaced the lead singer of STP

To be honest, One more light LITERALLY saved my life.. It made me realise that there is always at least one person who cares so the song saved me from _following Chester_

The strength it must take to lose your best friend/ family and go perform songs they wrote together. Shinoda appreciation

[@socialbutterfly4146]

My thoughts too

[@monytontana5184]

I wanna like, but it's at 777 so I'll just comment to say... Absolutely, Mike has done a wonderful job keeping Chester's legacy alive. Even now, & for hundreds of years to come 🖤

[@neelanshukumar4308]

Shinoda is a legend

[@ThanosWasRightt]

Were they actually best friends?

[@killerkarma3574]

@@ThanosWasRightt As far as I know, yeah they were. I remember hearing that when they were originally making Hybrid Theory, they obviously needed to find a producer for their first album. The first producer they worked with cut them an amazing deal, but it was under the stipulation that the band cuts Mike Shinoda because they didn't believe Linkin Park's Rap-Rock mixture with two front men was going to work. Chester basically told the guy to eat shit since he wouldn't abandon Mike under any circumstance. They decided to take the leap of faith and look for another producer, which for a brand new band this decision could've been damning, but of course we all know how Hybrid Theory turned out. Linkin Park truly created a masterpiece, there are plenty of legendary rock bands with smash hit albums out there like Queen, AC/DC, and Led Zeppelin, but Hybrid Theory is unique in that not just a few songs, but EVERY SINGLE SONG on that album is an unforgettable hit. Even 23 years later I can recite every lyric to every song on that album, and I know I'm not alone in this. I think It'd be safe to say that a group of band members capable of dropping an Album like Hybrid Theory, followed closely by the almost equally as legendary Meteora, had to have been nothing short of best friends.

[@notu9315]

Seeing Mike perform this alone is so painful. If you hear the normal version you hear all the pain Chester went through. Hearing this, you hear all the regret Mike has.

[@ludvigstokki5430]

The way Mike closes his eyes and just listens to the crowd sing Chester's bit, and it's almost like he can literally hear Chester still living on in those moments...

Your impact is still heavily felt♥️🙏

[@BjoernGelotte]

Stumbled acros this video. I was part of the crowd. I saw Mike two times on this tour. I did not get the chance to see LP live. Then I was in NYC 2018. First day there, a friend wrote me that Mike Shinoda played at Pier 17. Checked the trains, bought a ticket and had one of the best evenings in my life. After that, I bought tickets for Oberhausen because I live in that area. Still an amazing evening. But that NYC moment was one of the most amazing days in my life. Crazy. Love this video as a memory.

[@unknownha5925]

2020 still watching R.I.P CHESTER😞

[@MC-poet]

The tendency to think in all or nothing ways, to see things as all good or all bad is one of the cognitive distortions associated with depression. The solution is trying to see the shades of gray, but that's easier said than done. I've struggled with depression my whole life, and I've worked as a therapist for 20 years, so I know how hard it is to achieve that. But it's worth trying. It's worth fighting that fight. And the gift Chester gave us was helping us all to feel a little more heard and a little more seen, and in identifying so strongly with that we help each other to feel a little more heard, and a little more seen, and a little bit less alone. Never stop fighting. And never stop caring about each other. That's what drove Chester, and remembering that and spreading that message is the best way that we can honor him. ♥️

[@hayabusa27]

I'm glad this song came out during my younger years, it helped me stay positive through hard times.

[@Sky75212]

Linkin Park always mixes up my feelings. Live performance is just different... I was sitting in the train with closed eyes. First it pulled me down and i was about to cry but then the people started singing - my tears which came from my bad feelings turned into tears of happiness. Being together, especially singing together, helps to get over your dark side. Somehow i feel happy to have a side like this because it shows that we need each other. Thank you for being here and singing with us!
