Linkin Park - The Messenger REACTION!! | Speechless...Just wow

[@racefreakmel]

When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind….

[@michaelmcgee7683]

Finding people to react to this album is so hard- many Linkin Park “fans” consider this album an abomination. So underrated. As for this song, it’s easily one of my favorites. Could you imagine ending a concert with this and as a fan going home with this song still in your heart? As for background: Chester wrote it for his kids.

[@metalmike6668]

i actually like this album. however i do agree as a real actual ORIGINAL lp fan that mike shinoda ruined linkin park by chasing the money and going pop and abandoning the fans that actually got them where they are. however there are still gems like this. but it’s all chester. not mike. mike doesn’t even rap good like he use to

[@Bishaps]

@@metalmike6668 Saying, that Mike Shinoda ruined Linkin Park makes absolutely no sense. Mike Shinoda is Linkin Park, as much, as Chester is. Most of the songs, lyrics, as well as music, was written by him and Linkin Park's original Rap + Rock sound was his idea. It kinda shocks me, how can you name yourself a fan of a band, and say stuff like that about one of its biggest influencers. And sheesh, listen to "Lost in the Echo", and say that his rap isn't good again. Chasing the money... dear God... as if they weren't popular enough as a Nu-metal band, how did you came up with this (•_•)

@@Bishaps i agree, idk what the hell that dude is talking about, absolutely abysmal opinion that simply isn't true

[@MuhammadAbduIIah]

Calling this album abomination is blasphemy

[@OnlyCualquiera]

@@metalmike6668 "When they come for me" was written for this dude lol

i’ve always said this is the ONE song that you send to anyone who want to send some comfort and love to

💯 I sent this song to an ex in need right after recording this video.

[@metalmike6668]

@@UnfilteredReactions i’m telling u man this song does it it just does. i’ve had a very hard life and i’ve been through hell i’m still young but this song right here is an outlet. i’m not even a fan of new linkin park i love the heavy shit. my fav lp song is by myself. but THIS one. this is a keeper. ATS was actually pretty damn good too for the most part imo. this album to me was kinda a total mindf*ck when it came out

[@UnfilteredReactions]

@@metalmike6668 agreed, I prefer the heavy stuff too but this one is top 5 Lol songs for me. And imma check out the entire reanimation album

[@matts42]

There are always songs like this one, not on the mainstream, underrated. But i think these are the songs that hits very deeply and maybe that's why there is not much people shouting out for them, because it's too personal...i'm just guessing. For me there is one song like this on the next Living Things album called "Roads Untraveled" and i guarantee there was no suggestion for this one on your channel, and probably no one will suggest that until you react to the album xd i think so, at least. Good job on this album, can't wait for more :) cheers

[@sportsboyjon]

Agreed in the sentiment that theres a lot of underrated songs that just hit hard. But there is no song like "the messenger"

[@imzarth]

This is one of my favorite songs. Chester can express so much with his voice

[@x1_catalyst_x174]

This song even gets better if you watch a live version

You look like you needed that song. Some music is listened to. Some music is experienced. "The messenger" strikes strait to the soul

[@UnfilteredReactions]

One of my favorite go to LP songs still... always hits the heart

[@BloodandSoilNS]

Chester seemed like an extremely kind person who loved his fans. I remember buying their first CD when it came out and it got me through some tough times. RIP brother. You will be missed a lot.

[@iamflow2111]

Whenever this song ends I always say: "And that's the song". That's all it is, it's so simple yet it hits so hard.

[@MysticClaws100]

Based on his reactions, this is what I think his top 5 are 1) The Messenger 2) Waiting for the End 3) Blackout 4) Robot Boy 5) The Catalyst I think The Hunting Party will be his favourite of all the post-Meteora albums

[@tdvcyt2534]

Iridescent tho

[@GeorgiosArgyris]

This song is guaranteed to give you the goosebumps EVERY time you listen to it!

[@lukehanson126]

If I’m remembering correctly, when they were recording this, there were disagreements about it. It was something like Brad (guitarist) wanted Chester to sing more softly (like a traditional “soft song”). Mike encouraged Chester to just sing what was in his heart, so Chester went hard. I think that’s right.... Regardless, the song rules and I almost always listen to it twice in a row, even after all these years. Edit: had it backwards at first between Brad and Mike.

[@AThousandSuns42]

Wow didn't know that

[@BoringDayDevelop]

When you throw away blind nostalgia, many will realize this album is one of the best from LP. Yes, it's just my opinion, but god damn this whole album is a masterpiece. Remember... nu metal couldn't last forever, and they had to adapt, and I for one am so grateful they did, so they could deliver us this masterful album

[@squiddysquidster802]

I think them adapting and changing as band, and keeping that success is what makes them so good for me. I’m glad that they changed, because it means I can have a song/album to fit my mood, or to bring me hope in other ways, to show that I am not alone, that WE are not alone.

[@kristimarriner7673]

Super emotional song. Always makes me tear up😢

[@TheHorrorFanatic450]

I have lost the amount of times ive listened to this. Idk if people see this like me, but when life kicks u down then pick yourself up and kick life tf down and never stop believing in what u can do if you put ur mind to it.

[@chelvismusic]

you could also do a reaction to the making off of the album called Meeting of A Thousand Suns, wich is very interesting. The Making off Minutes to Midnight is awesome too. just an idea :) it definately is an amazing song. the guys from linkin park closed the tribute show for chester with those lyrics. very powerful.

[@evematice6104]

The live versions of this song are so beautiful. You really should check them out. This song is simply amazing. RIP Chester. Miss you.

[@eternity68]

SO powerful 🙌🔥 you should listen to The Messenger live in Madrid, its so beautiful and not quite that high screamy voice, just perfect and the streets are full with thousands of people, so magic. Forever missed Chester 🙏🫶this is my favourite song btw

[@sriver004]

To your point, since this was a concept album, the emotion you wanted from the final chorus or lines in a song is present theoight the whole song because it's the last lines of what is essentially one giant song. The song by itself warrants it, and the album as a whole warrants it, so Chester fuckijg brings it in. Majestic song.

[@DVS-Projects]

This absolute master piece hits my through my soul everytime I hear it :( ...

[@igorhashimoto2569]

The arrangement of this song is beautiful, but chester's voice alone shows clearly what he was made for. For me, this performance and lyric are chester's music legacy. And your analysis was on point again!

[@joshua_5683]

Thanks so much for the reactions man! My favourite Linkin Park album for sure!

[@supermassivesuarez7]

only linkin park can do many song in one album is awesome.

[@epicdragon2866]

This song Chester wrote to his kids

[@heresheis2063]

After Hybrid theory and Meteora, among their other five studio albums the A Thousand Suns is my fave album. Honestly these five albums had more hits than misses. This song was so good yet so underrated. I could compare this with Your Song and Let It be. It's that good to me. Wish you'd react to their live performance of this song like Madrid 2010. It sounds just as good as the studio version

Wait what is the bonus track lol

[@Rivan98]

In my opinion the live acoustic version is better because of the calming voice.

[@Illidan777kyaeljae]

its not just you..........dude ppl are sold by record labels and what plays on radio, spotify or what hits in billboards 200. FOR ME this is their second best album first being hybrid theory yet even hybrid theory is underrated as f. thi is true music not some sold out persona/band like we see everythwere everytime good job chester u never gave in never gave up on being yourself and not a product

[@ancatdal]

Oh, it's not just you. I cry during this song almost every time. I've been so unbelievably blessed to have heard Chester perform this acoustically, with no microphone, at the LPU Summit: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrNhqCGiNN3q8k It was so emotional, and I think most of us fans felt very connected through that performance. Always "remember you're loved, and you always will be".
