Vocal Coach REACTS: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda, Linkin Park Recording Studio Outtakes

[@chrisliepe]

Hey everyone! Thanks for watching and enjoying this one with me! Due to multiple blocks by KZbin, this one had to be trimmed and reposted several times before the google gods would allow it to be visible. Thats the reason there are more abrupt stops and cuts than usual. It's still really awesome to be able to glean some recording confidence and insight from Chester and Mike! Enjoy!

Hi, Chester had the most evil horrid father and grandfather. His father was John Podesta and Chester was ready to expose him. Can you watch a Band named God Save The Queen in concert . Is the main singer Freddie? I find he moves, sings and plays piano like Freddie.

@@robinfineman9894 John Podesta...? Are you talking about the "pizzagate" theory? I've heard of that back in 2017

[@robinfineman9894]

@@leonardoschiavo3137 Podesta was friends with the owner. Pizzagate is real but that's tame compared to what he's into. Adreno, and like his brother Tony their art is child molestation and SRA. They are part of the red shoe club. Red shoes are made from human skin and blood. Look into images of him. He's into spirit cooking. The only good news is they can't hurt anymore children--GITMO...........AND CHESTER IS ALIVE

@@robinfineman9894 I don't know many things but there are the files of Chester's autopsy... i mean, i would be the first to hope that this man is alive, but... I think we already know the hard truth, it's just sad to accept it

[@brianonlinenl]

I think the reason Chester's voice was so effective is because he was focusing purely on getting into character. His vocal was very emotive, because he was actually visualizing the story behind the emotion in his head. When it needed to sound angry, you'd see him literally become angry while recording a take. He was almost ready to swear and stick up his middle finger. I think he was a really sensitive person with an amazing ability to emote through vocals. Mike knew this, and you see him tapping into this when he says "it needs to sound like panic". He's literally giving Chester an emotion script, because he knows Chester will emulate actual panic. As a vocalist I find this very interesting.

[@jevinday]

you are totally right. mike is a classically trained pianist who also happens to be a great producer. in fact, every friday he spends a couple hours producing a song for a fan, free of charge. you could tell that performing was therapy for Chester. he was a spider monkey on par with eddie Vedder. he was always jumping off of 10 foot tall amps and doing 17 second screams. rip Chester

[@mbfurey7437]

Chester has a soft spoken voice but his singing voice is strong and full and emotions.

[@sean_mccadden]

A 100%! Thats the difference between good vocalists and AMAZING!!! Vocalists. Being a great lead singer is so much more than just being able to sing well. You gotta make the listener feel what you’re singing.

[@semu8030]

He was an actor too, although he didn't do much in the cinema industry but he knew how to fake and act, that also helped him a lot in that regard

[@insanegunner8498]

Chester is once in a generation vocalist…

[@TemperedLion]

Hearing Chester sing on a completely unprocessed camera mic is such a treat. Legend.

[@TopherNgo]

RIP Chester, truly a special and emotionally raw voice - it's an honor to be alive in the same era he was making music 🖤

[@cici9638]

Fun fact: Chester was very sick during the recording of “victimized” and mike felt bad having to ask Chester to come back to record some more vocals because he was sick. But it made it on the Album.

[@sadiekincaid5310]

The home studio is Mike's home studio. Mike made a sound booth to be able to record there if they needed to. That is where Mike recorded parts of the Post Traumatic album. Chester sang there a lot when they were writing songs. If you watch the music videos for the first 3 songs on Post Traumatic Mike recorded the videos in his home studio. During quarantine Mike started doing streaming from his home studio showing people how to make songs and some of his drawing techniques. He eventually started producing songs for fans who needed help with the production of a song. He released a song called Open Door and did it with 7 of his fans because he couldn't choose just one fan to do the song with.

[@spaghetti941]

13:15 is a rare moment where you see chester sing the messenger for the studio recording. Because he never sung it live in that original key, or at least I don't think so cause I've searched and can't find anything. (which fair enough it is pretty high especially to do in a live show). I always wanted to see him perform that song in it's original key.

[@matiaspereyra9375]

He played it half a step down in Tokyo. Still very high

[@eliteiel9747]

@@matiaspereyra9375 Ye but thats one exception, besides that he used to sing it lower. Also that time it wasnt wth the band (i think it wasnt a whole concert). And you could hear he was struggling a bit, but he sounded friggin amazing :)

Seeing those clips of "The Messenger" genuinely made me sob. Always been a beautiful track, you can FEEL the emotion when he sings it!

[@JohanaPage]

I have watched this video many times since we lost Chester in 2017, that was one of the shittest years of my life… LP always got me through.,, I really loved that I got to share this vid with your input and commentary… Thankyou. Chester was raw and real in every moment, I feel like the world will never see another him. All of us have something unique to offer… if you’re reading this and in a tough place… just know, the world is better with you in it… who cares if one more light goes out? I do… 💜

[@DavidAamesSognoLucid]

it is not easy to watch this video. it is not easy to comment on this video without being emotional. but your enthusiasm is like mine and it is very clear and genuine. and as usual from an educational point of view it is excellent.Thanks :)

[@ZackSkyes]

I remember when I first saw this video, it was during the recording period of my second solo album.. What can I say, pure magic and motivation!

[@tala_rose]

Miss you so so much dear chester bennington😭😭😭😭💔

[@silencevilence8843]

Fuck i Still miss Chester so fucking much..his voice range was Out of this world, i think He is the best Singer in the 21. century..singing like an angel, Scream Like a devil. R.I.P

[@coleG112]

These kinds of videos are explicitly WHY vocal one-takes and live performances, even "Live In Studio" are so impressive.

[@itechplus5391]

I've loved their "in making" videos. I couldn't watch these for 2 years after Chester's death. I only watched it when Linkin Park TV uploaded "A Thousand Suns Meeting". That was the most stressful process they've exposed to us.

[@Tomas.visk123]

I really love your videos about chester it helps me to learn from my biggest influence

[@joelastovasquez4178]

I really miss him. Realmente aprecio que hayas podido analizar a un artista que marcó una generación. RIP Chester

[@RandyVazquez]

I’ve watched these BTS Linkin Park videos throughout the decades, but hearing your perspective on these are cool! I know what I know about these videos, but to hear it from someone else who wasn’t there and have such a clear understanding about the process is so refreshing! I love being a fly on the wall when these things happen. To watch the magic come to life 😊 great video!!

[@qunamr7446]

This channel is just so refreshing

[@deltah_music]

So valuable. Thank you Chris and thank you LP for this Video 🙏

[@jamiegunn]

That was great to see! Thank you for analyzing Chester's vocal takes in this encouraging way for all singers.

[@chelvismusic]

awesome reaction! i always loved seeing them record and produce songs in the studio, its so inspiring.

[@semu8030]

One thing I love even more than Linkin Park songs is when I got the chance to get the isolated and dry vocals of a song, 100% acapella. Songs like Guilty All The Same, Pushing Me Away or Iridescent, with so high a level of emotion into the vocals are the ones I love the most. There is when you truly know the talent of a singer and also when you get to grasp what they do in order to reach a certain note or how their vibrato sound like, you can literally feel what they are doing while singing and these kind of recordings are what I use the most for developing my own vocal technique.

[@samdrums1822]

Loved this!!! Love Chester. Thank you.

[@brewtours7340]

Thank you Chris for doing this. After watching this video, I am able to give myself grace while going over my band's practice recordings.

[@brunomartinello6492]

Anyone besides me noticed how he speak to us through his videos like if we were brain damaged people that have serious problems processing information!? PERFECT! Exactly what i needed to learn at my pace! Thanks Chris!

[@johnadamian]

Thank you for this video Chris I'm heading into the studio shortly to record for my new album and I'm a reluctant vocalist (I'd rather just write the songs). I've been taking lessons for over a year, trying to build confidence, and it's been a long journey. So much frustration, so many times I wanted to quit. Now, things are finally coming together - ear, muscle memory, timing, confidence - and seeing this video at this moment is such a nice, human reminder. This is art after all. If you're searching for something, you're going to be uncomfortable, confused, and make plenty of "mistakes" along the way because you are heading down a unique, untravelled path. /rant Thanks again Edit: Punctuation

[@grigoriidifero]

Now I understand what the break is for. Thank you!

[@237wow]

Amazing video as always Chris! You should do some deep dives into 'bad' examples of singing for future vids, might be interesting! I find it really helpful to know what bad technique sounds like as well as the good.

Great suggestion!

Well Chris I think I'm getting there 4 years of practicing and people are really like the sound I produced.

[@krisfrederick5001]

This is a prime example of modern rock not translating as it used to because of the lack of blues. For some reason, I know this comes from a dark place and source of pain, he just doesn't make me feel it. I could never put my finger on it, but Rick Beato brought up this point in a live stream and it finally occurred to me. Just my opinion.

[@jacklynland3109]

It would be great if you could do this with more bands beside isolated vocal analysis videos. Maybe you could do one with Spencer Sotelo and other friends?

[@adamn5821]

This was good.

[@CaliberFiftyVideos]

Have you tried having the reaction/analysis videos just play on your screen and have that visible and audible in the background, with a slight adjustment in your shot angle to better see the screen? It might be too much of quality loss, but I think that's how you could prevent the bots blocking it. Still requesting Meshuggah vocal analysis by the way ;)
