Rapper REACTS to Linkin Park - NUMB!! This speaks to me..

[@deannawalker7022]

Listening to Linkin Park after his death is like looking into his soul and all his depression. The songs just feel like cries for help. One More Light is another soul gripping song and MV.

[@6666Imperator]

I'm wondering, if that gets skewed a bit by what happened. I'm sure he did put his soul into the songs, but we as humans also tend to put too much into some things in hindsight. The type of music genre that they made songs for are usually like this and speak out to many...or at least did when I was a teenager, but I am still not sure if that automatically means all the songs are personal cry outs as well.

[@SelvesteSand]

Nearly all their songs are written by Mike. Mike did once talk about using Chester's stories and feelings for inspiration, and Chester surely contributed with heart and soul in his singing, but the songs aren't exactly Chester's personal letters.

[@steveking2144]

This song is not a cry for help from Chester.. it epitomizes how guys feel when they want their relationships to work but women give them the cold shoulder and don't support them. And in many cases they use these guys financially and then clean them out so they have nothing left. This is all too common! It's no wonder so many guys don't want marriage anymore... they get shafted every time by the courts and by the women they were with. They are just a money tree.

[@kennethgallant4039]

"Giving Up" is the song that does it for me,...in regards to Chester's demise/mental state/ haunting

[@mspfinney]

100%. I feel the same. So sad, but so very good.

[@joespradley2323]

Chris took his life and later Chester took his. The burden of Chester loosing his best friend really pushed him. You will have to see Linkin Park live on Jimmy Kimmel show singing “One More Light” where you see Chester’s emotion singing this song shortly after Chris’s passing. Very emotional. Thanks for reacting🙏🏼

[@adorablespore]

Agree. That version of One More Light is particularly heart wrenching for me to watch now, as it was one of the songs played at my mum's funeral

Linkin Park was my go to "I'm feeling lost and don't want to feel" music, in that it made what I was feeling bareable. They saved me too. It broke my heart when he died. Chris didn't get me as much but it was still a great loss. I've never recovered.

I think what people really don't understand about having a lifelong struggle with depression and anxiety is the sheer rage that's built up in you. Everything is setting you off, and you're trying so hard to play nice because you know it's irrational, and you never let it out. You go numb.

[@Hoping4Change]

My son, now 32, is on the spectrum, no one knew when he was young, the cause of everything he was going through, not fitting in. I tried with everything in me to guide him. At 14 he asked me to listen to this song. All I could do was cry. From that moment on I accepted that he would get his feelings across to me through using the music that spoke to him. Unfortunate for me cause his music was heavy, heavy metal. But I listened everyday to whatever he asked me to listen to and he knew I was trying. I was being there for him. And we have been close because of finding music and him being able to share it with me. The power of music.

[@moodymary]

I found linkin park at a crucial time in my life. I suffer with Depersonalization, which is only recently been recognized and when I heard the song Crawling, my heart sunk because it depicted exactly what I felt. Later I read somewhere that Chester also might have had it and I felt so connected to him and his struggles with mental health. He might have saved my life. I wish we had saved him too. Rest in glory Chester ❤

[@jenBuruato]

Mike is a founding band member, producer and the glue to the band and Mike writes a lot of the lyrics and Chester does too. Chester was sexually abused from the age of 7 to 13 and was addicted to drugs since age 11. These songs were his way to cope. Mike wrote Breaking The Habit about Chesters drug addiction and Chester got clean, but his demons never left him alone and he spoke in interviews about it openly, Mike once said they write music for everyone to relate in their own way but he also wrote a lot about Chesters life because Chester had such a passion for the songs that he felt. I fell in love wit Linkin Park as soon as their first single hit and a huge fan all the way to Chesters passing. Great reaction! There will never be another voice like his, he makes you feel. REST IN PEACE CHESTER 🤍🤘🤍

It's definitely an outcasts' anthem, however you want to define 'outcast'. This song stood out to me and always meant a lot because, even though I had a very positive relationship with my mom growing up. She was very supportive and loving in pretty much everything I did, and I was lucky for that, but I've always struggled to connect with my peers(mainly in school) so I was bullied a lot and didn't have many friends. It was cathartic to have music like this.

[@GeanieG]

I've lived my whole life worrying about what others wanted of me and feeling like I failed over and over again. I never felt like I fit in or had anything valid to share, be, or say. It's taken to getting to almost 60 to sort this out in my head, to where I feel like I can be brave, be who I am, and explore my creativity and what I have to share. Being fearless is the most fearful thing you can do. I feel you, from your story, and I have mad respect for your genuineness and honesty.

Chris and Chester weren't just best friends. Chester Bennington was Chris Cornell's son Chris' godfather. They were beyond close. In fact, Chester took his own life on Chris Cornell's birthday. There's so many good Linkin Park songs, it's a deep hole. One Step Closer is what hooked most of us. In The End, Numb, Crawling, My December, It's Going Down (with Xecutioners, Wayne Static of Static-X)...so many.

This hits pretty deep for me. Growing up, I was a bit rebellious, was grounded a lot and had average to below-average grades. My parents didn't really ever really expressed pride in me when I did well, but would express their disappointment in me when I failed their expectations. I also moved around a lot growing up so always felt like an outsider. I feel like my parents are happy with the way my life has turned out, but I still have moments where I think I should be doing better and thoughts of being a failure. I often wonder if I would have a different outlook in life had my successes (however small) were celebrated as much as my failures were punished.

[@darksideofthemood]

My parents bullied me into not going the artistic route of becoming an actress. I met success, played in large theater, did a lot of things in my big city. But this life of hustling and finding jobs after jobs because you can never have a stable income unless you're a superstar got me deeper in depression as I struggled to play bills during covid. Eventually I got a more normal job and I got plenty of time to still write, act and do everything I love in my spare time. In my new community I teach my art, play important and historical writings and get involved. My parents were wrong, being educated in art SAVED my life because if I had nothing but my part-time work I would have killed myself long ago. My talents got me to travel, to meet people, to work and feel valued as a person and value other people. Art is generosity and beauty. Numb was the anthem of my teenage years. I'm so happy you like it too.

Thank you for sharing your story. This song cuts to the very depth of my soul. I was a single Mom when this song came out, raising my teenage son on my own. His father had left us to, as he put it, "upgrade to a better life". He was in and out of our son's life, as it worked for him, never around to support him, but always having lots of criticisms about his life choices. My son played this song for me, it felt like it came from his life. We had a really good conversation about how he was feeling. We started to share music with each other, introducing the other to songs that were meaningful to us. This became our way to work through a very difficult period in our lives. We still share music with each other today, one of my favourite things to do.

[@sumonjamal1653]

As someone who listened to his parents and went to college, I can assure u that u did the right thing for you... Because my going to college without the resources I needed from my parents was a recipe for disaster... and I was really not into that whole "jumping through hoops for a paper degree" so that I might move up the financial ladder... I hated going but I didn't know what else to do. If I had had more confidence in myself and knew which way I wanted to go, I'd have been a lot happier in life instead of ending up in Miseryville where I currently reside... FYI - Yes, Chester Bennington wrote the lyrics to "Numb"... it was about him self-medicating to make his life more tolerable after the sexual trauma he had experienced as a minor... He and Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden/ Audioslave) were friends, and Chris died in May of 2017... Chester sang at his funeral... Apparently, Chris Cornell's death did affect Chester and 2 months later, Chester Bennington took his own life in July 2017 ... just before he was supposed to do a full N. American tour w/ Linkin Park (It got canceled) Chester talked about his struggles w/ alcohol and drugs which stemmed from his childhood traumas... it cost him his first marriage w/ 1st wife Samantha... In 2003, Linkin Park had a #1 album 'Meteora' on the charts and were making bank$$$... but by 2004, Chester said he was getting divorced and back living in an apartment... He met his 2nd wife Talinda and they married in 2005 after his divorce was finalized. He had a child and soon, he and Talinda had 3 more kids... Linkin Park was back in action in 2007 w/ 'Minutes to Midnight'... and were making bank$$ again. However, Chester's success never seemed to give him the relief in life that he craved. Chester said: "...no matter how I'm feeling, I always find myself struggling with certain patterns of behavior… I find myself stuck in the same thing that keeps repeating over and over again, and I'm just, like, 'How did I end up…? How am I in this?' " At some point in 2017, Chester must have felt like this was the only path left and took his own life rather than face any more pain and depression.

By far most of their lyrics are written by Mike, but he did say he often use Chester's experiences as inspiration. There have been a few songs Chester has been credited for, though, such as Crawling, which he co-wrote together with Mike, and Easier to Run, which he wrote himself (likely except for the rap parts), and those two songs alone are so packed with pain it hurts. 😔

I've seen this music video a few times...and it wasn't until you that I noticed the...scribblings...upon the lower left upper limb. Like, wowza!

I think that's the beauty of this song. Most people can relate to the feeling, even if they can't admit it sometimes. It tunes in to your internal self. Great reaction ❤

This song, with this video, cuts right to the soul....no matter how many times I hear and see it

Hey! They write and produce all their own music. They have/had no writers, just them six boys and a dream.

6 boys

Chester bennington speaks from the heart, you can feel his own pain through his music, i myself have struggled with depression and anxiety for many many years, a person can only take so much pain before they break and in that split moment you believe you are better off dead and it is truly and lonely and horrible place to be. I was in that dark place after suffering and ectopic pregnancy which ruptured the damage to my tube was so severe it was removed. The pain from losing my baby was too much to take and i took a major overdose that almost killed me, the one thing that has stopped me trying again was seeing the photo that an ICU nurse took of my mum crying sat next to me in intensive care 😢. Chesters music has got me through so many difficult times, i still can't believe that he is gone. R.I.P CHESTER 😢 💔

My husband took his life August 20, 2017. Thank you for doing this. ♥ Thank you for your story, many of us can relate!

Lives lost when they could be saved. As God takes a backseat the world spins out of control. Our only hope and deliverance from despair is knowing He has us always. The love of God knows no boundaries.

The pain and emotion in Chester's voice every time he sings gets me every time I hear it. It was real and a cry for help. So sad. RIP Chester.

LP really helped me with their music. I was obsessed with Chester's completely unique voice (there's a documentary of the study of his voice out there). It made me feel so much stronger in my mentality. Now, every song I hear I feel his depression, with his death. I cry and cry, but it's not 100% sadness, because they helped me so much, and I appreciate every single song. I wish he could have known that. I'm sure in a way he knew how many ppl he did help because he probably heard it over and over. Depression sucks because that just doesn't always help with your personal demons. I just really, really miss him, he is one light that went out, that shouldn't have. 💕

Fucken yessssss!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s fricken gooo!!!!! I’m very happy you are watching this. And after Chris passed Chester did... they were best friends

When you connect to a song, you connect to it. Every Linkin Park song has a message that someone is going to relate to in some form or fashion. *Talking To Myself* is written from the perspective of "ok I keep trying to talk to you to help (which is Chester or those of us that battle the mental blegh), but I feel like I'm not getting through and I'm talking to myself". People b!tched and moaned and grouched about the song Heavy, about the One More Light album being "not like Linkin Park at all" before Chester passed away, then they acted like they'd been hit with a clue when he passed, that is something that just grates on me. The One More Light Live concert/album has some beautiful versions of older songs, Crawling is heavy, faster paced....at the concert, it's something else entirely. There's an interview he did shortly before July 20th, 2017, and he is explaining some very heavy dark things, paraphrasing the space between his ears (his mental state) can become a bad neighborhood and the guy doing the interview starts laughing at one point (not an uncomfortable laugh), I stopped the video because I was just like WTAF.

My son recently shared with me that he was happy I found his Chester through Ren! Music is so healing🙌🏻 Glad you followed your dreams BP and found your way creating a beautiful life for yourself and family💝

[@Arronc42]

My guy this is appreciated from a 34 yr old bloke that felt his only escape was music, there hit album hybrid theory has an entire remixed version called reanimation. Its the same songs but with an extra twist a musical masterpiece. Maybe not a reaction for us but for you its free therapy. Have a good day everyone. Rip chester you moved mountains in a generation of degenerates.

[@TikkyNoSurname]

This is, by far, my favorite song. Not because I happen to have the exact experience as it is insinuated in the video, but I always knew that (yes, the video always looked this way). What I like and always liked about songs and poems is how vast the interpretation can go, as long as something in the words speak to you. This song gave me strength when I needed it the most and one might say it saved my life by making me try instead of giving up twice.

[@kerricrawley6864]

Saw them and Tapproot at OzFest in Illinois when I was in high school B4 they were famous. They were great then

[@TTalks93]

I saw LP in concert when they first got popular. Amazing voice Chester had. RIP CCB💔
