What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also if you like the hat I’m wearing & want to support the channel grab yours now 🤟www.knoxhillmusic.com/shop/chaos-kh-flex-fit-hat

[@Kelly30stm]

That was a 17 second scream!

[@Niloc13ST]

Three days grace and maybe neffex?

Adam Calhouns Shook Ones….he brings the heat on Mob Deeps old school beat. It’s fire and bar heavy

Check out Jam Wayne song Flush I just found him a day ago & can't get enough!!Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@vladpufy9989]

“One Saved Millions…Millions Can’t Even Save One” RIP Chester.

[@hereticalhobby]

Powerful quote 😢

[@vincentcloud]

Profound as fuck

[@jaeleekizer4914]

Wow I like that quote man powerful

[@rambowbizz]

I think that's because when you are dead. Set on ending it even your closest family can't save you.

[@vincentcloud]

@rambowbizz Most people commit suicide on impulse. If he had written a letter, that means he has sat down and thought about it. I'm not sure if drugs and/or alcohol clouded his judgment, and he did it. You're right. I don't know if anyone could have saved but always looking back in hindsight. You want to think we could have "fixed" him.

[@leonidasneves7972]

That 17 sceonds scream is probably Chester's best scream, it's quite sad coz it is indeed a cry for help and the screams are genuine, Rip Chester

[@j.w.2166]

I would say the live scream at Jimmy Kimmel, one more light, is by far his best.

[@paulfadeley3496]

Chester doing this live at The AOL sessions, proving that it is real is incredible!!!

[@Duskwalker68]

​@@paulfadeley3496Yep, that performance is the best live version of the song! The look Mike gave Chester before and after the scream is priceless, just pure pride.

[@Meepie_Playz]

It’s insane how after the scream Chester just went back into the singing the chorus

[@epicdragon2866]

I agree with you. And I like how I see you under every video about LP, you are true fan 🤘🔥

[@mattroberts2411]

me sitting here grinning, knowing THE scream is coming 😁 17 seconds of pure emotion

[@Dtin]

Me as soon as I clicked the video 😂

[@Zinetha]

Me as soon as I saw the notification for the video 😂

[@zacharyware9083]

Me as soon as I saw this comment.

[@orimisprime1558]

Dude, glad it wasn't just me, and plus grinning at Knox's shock.

[@prasadpatil224]

i also watched it just for them moments Pure emotions ❤

[@lnvasionProject]

*Scream like a Devil, Sing like a Angel* 💯

[@Ethan-Entah]

Been waiting for more Linkin Park reactions. The 17 second scream will never not amaze me.

[@DerangedVoices]

I read or heard somewhere, that after seeing and hearing Chester perform that song for the first time, Mike (rapper, other singer) stayed by Chester's side all night just to make sure he was going to be okay. Mike said he'd never felt that much emotion coming through, and it scared him. I just wish someone could've found the right healing that Chester needed. He definitely had a one of a kind voice. R.I.P Chester Bennington, we all love and miss you and your music.

[@shinobitreecko8442]

Imagine if Chester got the help he needed, and he went back to sing these songs with DETERMINATION

[@bradleyadkins3144]

Dude had serious demons, but he was obviously murdered. His project with Chris Cornell caught the wrong attention.

[@Nop3.1]

@@shinobitreecko8442or retired them forever because he no longer sat in the dark.

[@caosdiosdragon]

When you have a chance, you should watch the live version of this song, when he says “hyperventilate” it’s so powerful and when he does his long “misery”

[@SaiyanHershelMakesMusic]

The body shake when he does that is nuts.

[@taygillam7075]

Best comment, the live version absoutely has so much more emotion driven into it

[@Timewornelf]

I was in that video. Right in the crowd where he does his scream. Funny intense being so close with the microphone basically hitting my face.. one of the best concerts ever.

[@pmgvictor4625]

What gets me is not just the 17 second scream like Dayum but the immediate after starts singing like an angel like he didn't just gutted out his vocal cords half a second ago.

[@brianhawley-cv3ek]

Crazy part is he can do that live. That’s what’s scary.

[@raindown6702]

He poured his entire soul into every single song, it's a shame that nobody could save one of the greatest artists of all time. RIP Chester

[@nickmusson6745]

He was murdered suicide was the cover up for it same as his friend 6 months earlier and Anthony bordain later the following year

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

The scream length was because they song was unfinished and Mike just had and Chester screams there. So Chester did that. and Mike wrote it into the song. How cool is that?

[@LinaisMe1605]

Every song hits differently now with the knowledge we have now. And the 17 seconds scream. Blessing for all the listening to it

[@aliceheal6127]

Chester. The voice of a generation. Sorely missed always treasured. ❤

[@dustind2487]

Linkin park got me through my teens years. One of the best bands. Rip chester

[@pinhead61187]

8:08 Yeah. Yeah it was. Check on your peeps.

[@ECRthlZz]

Chester's never been forgotten

[@Fsudryden]

I saw them at least 5 times live. That scream was always longer live than it was on the video. It always blew my mind that Linkin Parks show that they headlined they played for 2-3 hours and they don’t stop. Maybe 20 second here or there but I am blown away that Chester never lost his voice.

[@CelestiaQuixs]

I've been identifying with Chester really hard for the past several years. Tomorrow is my birthday and it's really sad knowing prisoners on death row are treated better than the discarded elderly, including me, in this country.

[@CanadianOnlooker]

6:48 you like how that tailed off.... just wait 😂

[@Denovis]

Btw he did that 17 seconds scream live a couple times, he's a fucking legend.

[@halosandheroes]

Goosebumps. Just, goosebumps. Even before the 17 seconds, this is such a reflection of my darkest days.

[@nzstump0152]

The live versions of this song are even more emotional and haunting

[@josephharmon8395]

That scream sends chills down my back, every time... what a beautiful person Chester was. 💔

[@Elver_Galarga_jugo]

Chester and Chris Cornell.... Two top notch singers that we couldnt save and both had their own extended scream at the top of their lungs. Given Up for Linking Park and Cochis for Audioslave.

[@here4thecookies676]

Linkin Park is the band that started my journey into hard rock back in high school. It’s great to see someone with such an appreciation for music discovering their discography

[@multimusic_yt]

"When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done" "Help me leave behind some, reasons to be missed" "Don't resent me, when you're feeling empty" "Keep me in your memory and leave out all the rest..." RIP Chester. Gone but never Forgotten

[@bestofnesia]

That's honestly my favorite Linkin Park song, Leave Out All The Rest.

[@TerriDurham-h1g]

My favorite too and Chester we have millions of reasons to miss you

[@chriskindstedt2298]

Here you go Knox. This is, in my option the best live version of this song. The audio and video quality is incredible. You can see all of his breath control and how hard he is working and every once of emotion this song brings out in him. He was such an amazing and underrated vocalist. This version is phenomenal! It makes me cry every time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3mzkpibbr2tacksi=V2zg-m6OkjKS_S9V

[@fransinyard891]

My favorite band of all time! RIP Chester! You are very much missed! Awesome band & video! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@justinbalks1789]

Knox Hill. During the line 'I hyperventilate', he actually forces his body to shiver as he sings, which adds that almost staccato effect in the words that you mentioned. He's using an "inside-out" technique, where he uses his body functions to build the effect

[@aubreymclean7712]

The insane thing is he sounded just like this live. Any live performances you watch, he will scream just the same. True legend. We all loved him so much, he had no idea.

[@nayr_murdoc5366]

That line and how he draws out misery. I've heard this song countless times, and this time, I realized put me out of my misery is what he Emma yet he holds on to that last note. He literally prolongs his misery.

[@jamisonfawkes8537]

this band shaped my childhood and teen years. this song was a cry for help that i’ve felt in my own life. rip chester, thank you for everything ❤

[@racoobi]

I usually don't watch reaction content but you really have some cool analysis and insights. Love how you just don't just go "wow he's good, this is sick!" but you break down not just the lyrics, but also the meter, rhyming scheme, and the context behind the artist. Great stuff

[@mikaeljacobsson1437]

I have been listening for Linkin Park for so long, always knowing that each song was more than "just a song", hoping that Chester would make it. That he would find what he needed. What he deserved. While also understanding. Understanding inner demons and what they do to you. How hard it is to hear the world when those inner demons are screaming in your head. Taking all the focus. Being in that fog. Not seeing the things that exists outside of the fog. And the people who care about you not being able to reach you inside that fog.

[@mikebennett6713aceadventures]

Love you Knox, what a talent you are. I love your breakdowns……. Spot on, you really help us hear what we miss. Thank you

[@SuperDman51]

I wish this was the live version from Clarkston. Just to watch his actions during his signing. But great break down, Knox. Much love to you and everyone in the chat.

[@Morder1990]

17 sec scream ...... The best rock scream . RIP legend Chester :(

[@mgmarshall410]

This song is absolutely a cry for help by Chester!!! I love your reaction to this song! This song hits me soooo hard!!! Miss Chester sooo much!!! This song definitely shows everything about Chester!!! RIP #makechesterproud

[@PropGuru702]

17 seconds of the purest emotion to ever exist.... I wish I could have helped Chester... He will always be missed.. we love you brother! I hope you've found peace.

[@harstar12345]

Saw LP once, and it's a top 5 show. He truthfully was a talent, Chester put everything out there, every song. The man was more than a talent, he was a driven but broken, artist. To anyone else who experienced In the End live you'll know exactly what I mean, the crowd simultaneously emotional and excited, it's such a rare atmosphere and experience.

[@ca.5354]

Their live performance in Texas was so intense to watch. All the adrenaline and intensity gives such a rush that I still watch it today when I want to hype myself up. I grew up during my worst years listening to LP and their music made me understand I was not the only person with these feelings and helped me deal with them. Chester is missed every day

[@skmky01]

I watch that concert several times a week.

[@imranebennehar3141]

The screams in Papercut though 🔥🔥

[@neoneve123]

His music and screams were cathartic for him I'm sure. Every time he did that scream it was a release. I'm still floored he's gone but by god did he leave a legacy unlike anything we've ever known.

[@guillermor9207]

This is why Knox is the best at these videos man, he’s reacting to this song and breaking down the meaning of it too. This version of Chester’s screaming is very important because many bands, such as Bring Me The Horizon, Of Mice & Men, Sleeping With Sirens, We Came As Romans, Motionless in White and Beartooth either use this same style of scream in their music, or were very influenced by it. These videos wouldn’t do too well, but if you wanna hear some amazing rhyme schemes, great song writing and lyrical structure, these songs by Linkin Park are top tier in that department: Esaul (Xero Demo) Hands Held High Dedicated (1999 Demo) Husky (Hit The Floor Demo) Dialate (Xero Demo) Kenji by Fort Minor (not an LP song but written and produced by Mike Shinoda, and when Jay Z heard the beat, he absolutely loved it)

[@NewCandyCane]

Who ever said "hey listen to this awesome track from LP, I think you'll like it" has a now a legendary status in my mind.... Good for you, legend! I'll remember you... blank slate...

[@Rezza275]

Yup, chester done 17 scream in live. Given Up AOL live

[@Milehighsnake98]

This is probably one of my favorite riffs to play on guitar. Nothing gets me pumped like this.

[@cheriejohnson7520]

As someone who was able to see Linkin Park on their Meteora tour, I can definitely attest to Chester’s unrivaled vocal ability. To actually witness it in person is an experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life. 🩷 RIP Chester…💔

[@DogDocKat]

RIP Chester. That 17 second scream... There is no one like him 💜💜

[@woopwoop1236]

i definitely recommend watching the live version of this, it is f*cking unreal, Chester was amazing. got me through terrible teen years in the early 00s.

[@skmky01]

A Place for my Head, from Live in Texas. So flipping awesome!❤

[@JariJuslin]

Nice analysis here! I especially appreciate you putting spotlight to the use of vowels and rhythm, something I would never have realized myself!

[@mgmarshall410]

Chester was fucking amazing!!! His voice touches my heart!!! I wear a “Make Chester proud “ bracelet every day!! As a reminder!!! ❤️🤘🏼

[@DecanFrost]

When it come to Linkin Park, you HAVE to do the live performances, studio version is like a 8 out of 10, live is 20++, its on a whole other level. So, SO much more emotion behind it live. Try Figure.09 or Given Up next

[@PerplexedPhoton]

Linkin Park was my absolute favourite band as a kid. I had their first two albums and played them on repeat constantly, then I never checked for their music ever again. A couple months ago I was curious about them again and decided to check their catalog after their first two albums and I was blown away. Given up was instantly one of my favourite songs and it was awesome to experience it for the first time 16 years after it was released.

[@savvynyx7156]

I have to say, as a lifelong metalhead, you have given me a much greater appreciation for rap and hip hop. Thank you.

[@unbrokenlegacy8293]

Every time I hear his music, makes me sad that he is no longer is with us but also happy he is no longer in pain anymore. R.I.P Chester

[@meganeemden]

There is a live version of this. You should check it out, it’s amazing!

[@Dtin]

BRUH THIS JUST MADE MY DAY AND I WANT TO PERSONALLY THANK YOU FOR THIS REACTION 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@enterjudas8543]

You should definitely check out this song Live in Clarkston, that “hyperventilate” part hits so hard

[@blueline15]

There will never be another Chester and I’m honored to have shared this planet with him if but for a brief period of time. The gift he gave us as angst teenagers through music. We love you Chester ❤

[@AnAccount]

You gotta react to more Linkin Park! I'd love to see reactions off songs from A Thousand Suns or Living Things; those albums were vastly underrated. "Lost in the Echo" would be a great song for you to react to!

[@frizzlethecat2084]

Love those two albums. They're SO good!

[@shaheerahmed5134]

Ill never forget Chester Bennington he was crying for help and no one even cares well i care about him and a bunch of people do. Everytime i listen to this song i feel the pain and struggles. Miss him so much and will be with us in our minds and hearts ❤❤

[@kaojinn]

I love the message behind the song "Waiting For The End". I think you'd like breaking that one down.

[@Autumnstorm79]

Wow! When you go back and listen to all LP’s song, actually sit and listen, knowing how Chester’s life ended…hard…very hard to get through…❤

[@Jjoker74]

This song packs such an emotional punch. Yes it was a cry for help, but at the same time it felt like he had to release all that. The negativity, the darkness, the pain, it all came out in those screams.

[@vincentcloud]

Chester is a once in a lifetime talent. I have heard AI try to recreate his voice, and at some point, it fails. You listen to his songs, and now you pick out his cries for help and not just singing a song. RIP

[@LauriMajamaa]

It's 17 seconds. Sick! Chester was awesome!

[@psychoclown22]

I have seen them live concert and chesters screams will send chills down your spine just hearin it. And watch his face turn red and almost a sadness in it as he does them is chilling.

[@sandrafazackerley9526]

Today i thank you. Sometimes listening to you breakdown lyrics is healing in a way it helped me identify why and how i feel. Pure therapy.. much love to you. 🙏🫶

[@Emilie-one]

I love this song but it hurts my heart as we know he was literally crying out for help . He is so sorely missed. Rest in peace Chester

[@willsanborn2178]

I’ve seen a lot of Linkin Park reaction videos - you always do the best.

[@jonh8641]

Sang like an angel screamed like a demon. Died a LEGEND RIP chester.

[@someguyfish]

Awesome to see this. Huge Lp fan here from Brisbane Australia. Saw linkin park live here 3 times and would have continued to make the effort to see them every time they made it here. Great memories. Rip Chester. You’re the man! 🙌

[@krististevens54322]

My eyes and ears were there every single f'kn time Knox. EVERY single time since 2002 (age 18-19) in the Central Florida area. Chester was my God. I still to this day have a VERY hard time listening to LP because of it. They were my life and Chester was the center of that for me. I have a ton of old school pics of them from the front row. I was never not in the front row (not kidding). But yeah, July 20th, 2017 and I still can't listen because it hurts THAT BAD. I could barely get through this. I'm the age now, as when Chester left us: 41. I'll never forget where I was when I found out. The last show of theirs I went to I screamed, "I love you Chester," and he said back, "I love you too" in the mic. I'll forever be grateful for that moment. Even though it was hard AF for me to get through,.. thanks for doing LP. 🙏😢

[@phlanxsmurf]

The scream for help at the end is heartbreaking.

[@skmky01]

Linkin Park live always delivers. Love watching their full concerts.

[@lp13413]

From what I remember reading, Chester wrote the lyrics for this one after the first time he went through rehab. The music was inspired from a different demo they were also trying to write at that time.

[@Megacooler96_]

Hes one of the best vocalists ever. RIP Chester

[@taagolarts3787]

I never thought of the line "I don't know what to take" as being about taking a substance into your body, that's an interesting perspective. Love that you immediately identified the keys jangling, and that you're so tuned in to the rhyming structure, the way the music supports the lyrics, everything. Really great analysis so far, and I'm only halfway through the video.

[@xero3028]

Love your reaction to Linkin Park, salute from Italy Knox 🍻

[@andreasmink2276]

Linkin Park is medicine❤ It helps in every dark time Rip Chester we will always love you❤

[@SiN_Forever]

I love Linkin Park so much one of the greatest rock groups ever and RIP to Chester a great talent a true legend gone too soon 🥺

[@ReplaysRants]

Rip Chester Bennington ❤ from the inside is a brilliant song

[@modo6901]

Love that song!

[@aimeekeel]

9:32 they were so good live. I always saw them when they played anywhere near Denver. RIP

[@My_NameJeff]

That scream is 17 seconds long! Its insane

[@celtzen]

I have been to a _lot_ of live shows - LP remains one of my top two- the combination of the energy (probably the most positive energy and crowd I've ever seen- everyone was so dang nice and friendly- so little attitude) of the crowd and the energy of the band was just amazing - I am absolutely heartbroken that I'll never be able to see them again like that- like Ren LP (specifically Chester) just gets what it's like living with the bullcrap in your head and the music is where I go to hide where I feel like someone understands. Chester made the comment several times in interviews that the inside of his head was a bad neighborhood where you shouldn't go alone and I resonate with that - I just take the music with me (Ren, LP, Disturbed)

[@jennileerose]

I cannot express how much Linkin Park’s music got me through some of the hardest times in my life. Basically my 20’s was a sh*t show and I’m 40’s now and I still miss Chester. His death hit me harder than any celebrity death ever did.

[@joshwhite7282]

Dude, that intro song is sick! Went and followed on Spotify and added Family Curse to my library, good stuff!

[@shreyanshsinghal1552]

You should give Lost in the Echo a listen, chester screams like a demon in it. And Mike raps his ass off in his verses

[@mgmarshall410]

This song hits me soooo hard! Feel the same and then knowing the outcome, kills me!! I miss Chester sooo much!!! I named my cat Chester and wear the “make Chester proud” bracelet everyday as a reminder!! ❤️🤘🏼

[@mrhefner01]

Great video, iv been a Linkin Park fan all my life and ill tell you the depth of these lyrics hit home harder and harder as you age and experience pain in the same flavor.

[@Thechaosmaster1997]

Next can we get No More Sorrows? It's one of my favourites on Minutes To Midnight.

[@keepingitrealawesome]

Still one of my favorite songs right up there with numb and bleed it out! I miss him so much but he helped millions 🙏🏻

[@GeoffreyEatWorld]

Thank you Mr Knox Hill. Youre a real one, and I appreciate it.

[@345timmie]

I've had the honour of seeing LP live twice. The second time was only a few months before Chester's passing. Both performances were incredible and Chester really gave it his all. May he rest in peace

[@toothlessgeek]

I love Linkin Park, how the heck is this the first time I'm hearing this song!!!! My heart always breaks hearing his songs, the cry for help, the struggle that he ultimately lost, such a talented man. So sad 😭

[@Zach-sb7oi]

The best part of listening to the song for so many years watching people react to the 17 second scream waiting for the reaction and by the way you got to see him do this song, the live video as well

[@ShadowRyu]

The keys jingling was accidental. They were trying to find the right instrument for that segment. They didn't like any of them, so they tried a set of keys one of the band members had on them. The rest is history

[@jenniferwilley5511]

He spoke in his songs about everything we all go through. Their music hits me everytime.
