Hey, since you've done a bunch of Grunge and 90's...there is a band/singer you have not covered. Myles Kennedy has an amazing range. He fronts Alterbridge and Slash's solo band. Recommend the song's Watch Over You or Blackbird.

[@naveenpaudel7248]

Hey ...Could you tell me the reason why linkin park some songs are green shaded

[@mslpfanatik]

I would love to have you react to Sheldon Riley. I just don't understand how he hasn't gotten a record deal yet.

[@walterkaiyuenpang3556]

..... please ’ Look into ' Better Help !!! 🙏🙏🙏 Maybe after having done your own research , ( even on KZbin , look for reviews ) ... You may decide to no longer ' Partner ' with them !!! 🙏🙏🙏

[@LupusSanguis]

Every time I hear this cover, it reminds me how much I miss Chester. It's raw, it's really him.

[@BrandonWestfall]

Chester really didn’t miss. The guy gave his all in every performance. This is honestly one of my favorite performances from him.

[@mel1552]

It's such a shame that we lost such a beautiful voice at such a young age. We miss you, Chester.

[@flingonber]

His death just two months after Chris Cornell's was such a blow, two of the most talented rock vocalists both taking their own lives one after another felt like the end of an era...they were also close friends and Chester had performed "Hallelujah" at Chris's funeral.

[@Yoran1993]

Chester took his life on Chris' birthday too I believe

[@knoot]

it's one of the biggest regrets I have is not going to sonic boom in 2012. Only time they came to Edmonton. Thankfully I saw Chris Cornell when he was solo, but it was him with RATM band. So they sang soundgarden, RATM, and Chris Cornell songs. It was amazing seeing Chris Cornell Sing Bulls on Parade

[@skatasticgal]

@@knootThat would be amazing! I saw Chester with Linkin Park on the last tour they did in the US before he passed and I’m so grateful because I actually won the tickets on the radio or else I wouldn’t have been able to go. I never got to see Chris Cornell sadly 😢

[@heatherlanaeturnerakacount753]

People still saying him & Chris killed themselves pisses me off like no other! If people actually did research instead of believing wtf the media says then I believe some people's eyes would be open & maybe people wouldn't get away with doing such horrible things to people if we would all just pay attention & care! Instead of waiting until it's too late! Js! Rest Easy Chester & Chris

[@flingonber]

@@heatherlanaeturnerakacount753 Let me guess, the police and the coroner were all in on the conspiracy? Are you one of those people who also believe Sandy Hook was faked? 🙄

[@Kellew78]

I wouldve listened to Chester sing the phone book. I love how he sang with his whole body 🖤

[@shanepeterson3085]

A Light was put out that can never be relit when Chester left this world…. He was a great performer an amazing vocalist and one of the most talented musicians. I will always remember him as one of the most influential artist of his time

[@ancatdal]

The versatility this man had is incredible! I've heard him sing so many different styles now, and I'm amazed how well he molds himself to those styles. What a vocal chameleon!

[@Annissina]

I love how you talk about Chester in the present tense, as if he's still with us. ❤ I also heard "paid it" towards the end.

[@milagrosprado8503]

LINKIN PARK did the cover at the request of iTunes. They asked if they could play the song and they graciously agreed.

[@yahirmorales7647]

I think they were asked days or weeks in advance because I've seen videos of him singing this accapella or with just a small crowd of what I'm guessing is stage workers just listening to him along with the band

[@kmftalonmobile]

This was quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen...Chester we love you, you are missed!

[@finding7]

The loss of Chester is a wound the world will never heal from.

[@sadsoul0994]

His Voice is beautiful, it's a shame he's no longer there, but I understand him...

[@nikkievans8301]

I love watching music move you as much if not more than the analysis. Which are the best on KZbin in my eyes.

[@boorhadly]

there are several performances that when I hear them.. they draw tears..this is one of them. i miss him and his voice so much. RIP Chster :(

[@SlitherWhisp]

When Linkin Park was huge, I did not go out of my way to listen to them. I lumped them in with all of the other "Nu Metal" bands. About two years ago I learned the error of my ways. Chester's voice and lyrics are just so amazing... and I regret not noticing until after he was gone. :(

[@modo6901]

For me it was about a year ago. I saw the music video for One More Light that the band had dedicated to Chester and after crying my eyes out l went back and listened to all their albums. Turns out I love Linkin Park. I wish I had caught on a lot earlier and got to see them live. Didn't know Chester but I miss him all the same.😢

[@CJKhaos]

@@modo6901I have listened to Linkin Park since I was 10 and never got to see them live. I had tickets to see them in 2017 and the show was cancelled due to the Manchester Arena being bombed. A few weeks later Chester passed away.

[@ArikiWhiskercrisps]

Exactly the same for me. The were just another generic nu metal band until somebody played "Robot Boy" for me about two years ago and I said "...Wait, what?" Sad I missed them at their peak, but glad that their music lives on and can still be (re)discovered and appreciated.

[@janiceg7661]

This makes me cry, it's so beautiful. Thank you for this video. RIP Chester ❤

[@chriso6719]

There is a video of this that's a little bit longer, starting a bit before this one starts. Chester starts singing, Mike stops him , and calls him over to tell him something. From what I've heard, Chester started in the wrong key. Quick fix, and an amazing performance.

[@evilbeardedman]

One of the rare occasions where the cover is better than the original(and I absolutely love the original). Chester was something else.

[@Tafoukt_i]

Totally agree!

[@system0fadowner251]

I absolutely love this cover and Chester but he did not out sing Adele on this and I'm sure he'd agree.

[@daCubanaqt]

@system0fadowner251 I don’t think he out sang Adele, but this version seems more soulful and deeper than Adele’s version. Both are great, just different takes on the same song.

[@mikepatterson9351]

This is the first time ive heard this cover and i must say it is awesome. Great display of vocal range!

[@ghostharmon108]

Your reactions are priceless!!! Your passion for his music is refreshing. Keep doing what you are doing....Love the videos!!!!

[@ashleyrenee2336]

Those of us who have been Linkin Park fans from the start, and got the honor of seeing them live, know that Chester NEVER disappoints. One of the very few bands that sound better live than recorded. I will forever miss them and am heart broken that I can't take my children to see them 💔

[@poochflexlore5916]

I think this performance shows the power of restraint. We knew he could scream and rock. This was honestly hands down one of the best live performance ever.

[@Jamesfoster48]

There’s actually a slightly longer version of this video where firstly, Chester introduces the song by saying ‘’I think you’ll know this one, she’s a local” As this was filmed in London. Also, he actually starts in the wrong key! Mike stops playing and calls him over for a quick chat, then they restart the song! 😊

[@SplinteredChaos]

Chester was one of the greatest vocalist of the last 50 years, if not longer. The man could SING! Like seriously. He wasn't just a rock singer. He wasn't limited to one genre by any stretch. The world was a much better place with his talents out there. I truly hope he's found the peace he couldn't find while alive.

[@khuldrek6198]

This is a fantastic cover. It's hard to find the full intro and ending to this video nowadays. "....This is something we don't normally do. We're going to play a song by another artist. She's a local. Hopefully we do it some justice." ----they proceed to knock it out of the park even with a false start--- "I want to thank Adelle for writing and performing such a great song." --classy comment easily one of my favorite songs to this day. nice reaction, all the best.

[@peterworth9403]

Yeah. It's like, I had no doubt when I saw the song title, "Oh damn, Chester's gonna kill this." And the beast was slain.

[@UncleD153]

Chester Bennington was one of the greats. He left us way too early along with many others. #MentalAwareness.RIPMyFriend.

[@dancerkris95]

I started growing with them since Meteora and then listened to Hybrid after, and I LOVED IT! But I also love ALL of their albums. I love who they are as artists. Also, when Chester grew, he didn't want to scream all the time, and it also depended on what kind of song/message it had, especially those that are extra personal to him. He LOVED all different types of genres and loved singing different styles. For example, like "Heavy," on the One More Light album sooo many HATED on it but they didn't actually LISTEN to the song. The actual lyrics on what Chester was saying in the song and on how he was singing it. They were just to focus and narrow-minded on the extra stuff that wasn't there regarding sound/instrumentals, screaming and rapping? It's not boring at all. Hell, the music video even gives it a pretty good picture of what the actual importance of the song is and describing/showing on what it's like inside his head. It didn't need to be over the top with the high vocals/instrumentals. The way he did it was perfectly done, and it's a powerful song if you truly understand it and have actually been there. The WHOLE album is literally about their own personal lives with different members in the band that was going on around that time between 2016-2017 between losses, family, depression/sobriety and dealing with some of the disrespectful "fans". One of the songs, "Invisible," that Mike Shinoda does as a lead vocal on is about him as a dad and when his kids get older. The song "One More Light" is supposed to be emotional it's about losing a loved one. Mike wrote it after a female friend of their's that they worked with at the label had died from cancer. He wrote it the day of her funeral. The whole album was more personal to them than all of the ones that they had done in the past. I respect when others don't like every single song that they do if it has an actual valid reason or just not your cup of tea. But what does irritate me the most is when those who say are "fans" call them sellouts and how trash it is or how trash they are, and just being complete shitty. When all their doing is just make music that THEY love for themselves and putting there heart, soul, sweat, tears, exhaustion, and broken bones into it, lol. It's not about the money and fame for them its about family, community, making music, art, passion, creativity, and the love that they have for ALL of their fans. Chester loves hard rock metal, soft rock, pop rock, pop (not the bubblegum Britney Spears/NSYNC type) more on the ballad side, electronic and folk. He even wanted to do a reggae style album in the future and he even wanted to take some of their old aggressive hard songs and strip them down to do an unplugged album whether it was on piano or guitar. They never actually claimed themselves as nu/metal they always thought of themselves as a wild card, expermenting, and making music that has meaning and people can relate the message to wheather its on a personal level or whats going on in the world. They have NEVER been tied down to just ONE genre hell thats how "Hybrid" got created cause they didn't want to be just ONE thing, and being limited, they have been saying that since the very beginning. They ALWAYS wanted to grow and evolve with their music its part of growing up. They are not like other bands. Never have they've always been unique. They did things that THEY want to do and not what others want them to be. The label tried doing that to them with their first 2 albums and wanted them to keep doing the same thing as before, and thats not what they wanted. So, they broke out of that very quickly and did things their own way by doing it independently with just a little bit of guidance from Rick Ruben. Mike Shinoda (rapper, 2nd vocalist, Keyboard, piano, rhythm guitar)/Brad Delson (lead guitarist) produced the Linkin Park music, Mike/Chester wrote the songs, Mike/Joe Hahn (DJ tables) came up with the art ideas for their albums, Joe also directed majority of their music videos, Mike came up with the set designs on how they want the stages to be on tour, he also did the band merchandise and created their web design. They do EVERYTHING that THEY WANTED to do. If anything, "Linkin Park" is it's own genre. They were a very special different kind of band and did it by their own rules

[@Jo_124_]

A Place for my head - Linkin Park Live in Texas 2003 would be so good to see as a next reaction to Linkin Park songs from you. Love your videos and hope to one day get a analysis video of all Linkin Park songs from you :)

[@modo6901]

Love that one. All the different sounds that Chester makes is simply amazing. The whole band just comes alive on stage!! Mike's pretty awesome too!

[@Kellew78]

When you see someone fall in love with Chester Bennington 🖤🤘

[@LafayetteGirl928]

You are the ONLY person I've heard mention the "paid it" topic. Yes, I too have always thought he said at least one or two "paid-it's;' but no one's ever mentioned it so I thought I was imagining things. Thanks for the validation. This is what I think he is perhaps saying, "you paid it, you played it, you paid it, you played it to the beat." Not sure, though.

[@ChrisBennett_Dwarfsoft]

Yeah, I heard it on the first play, I felt the third word as paid was less pronounced and more to tie it back to a mispronunciation than intent. Paid - Played - P (l) aid ... It was so glaring to me but felt like it was just an attempt to remedy a mistake. I couldn't discern meaningfully intent in having paid over played in terms of lyrics

[@martinroman5098]

Years gone by, and the feeling of wanting him to still be here only grows. Every time I hear or watch him, I just understand a little deeper how unique he was and how lucky we are to have his music and videos to enjoy and remember his art. I had the pleasure of watching LP live, and it was mind-blowing. CHECK QWERTY LIVE IN TOKYO FOR AN IMPRESSIVE INSTANT SWITCH BETWEEN HARSH & LIGHT VOCALS!

[@SolarWraith]

I did not even realize this existed...the man was at the peak of his game right here. Wow.

[@rwid71663]

There is nothing Chester couldn't sing. he could have done opera to. We still love you Chester, and miss everything that could have been. There is a hole in music without you.

[@danielatedeschi7695]

@TheVocalist : If you want there is more than one version where fans have removed the background noises and you can only hear Mike on the piano and Chester singing. They rehearsed before the concert once, in the hotel, and decided to do it, every time I see them together I cry. Thank you ❤️

[@phreaspeek]

Chester was a soulfull and beautifully powerful singer! Wow!

[@kevinpitts1252]

R.I.P CHESTER...the angel, that could sing like one, but scream like a demon... Been a fan of LP since day 1 of them...Mike and Chester wrote music that meant a lot to alot of ppl, including me...

[@kevinpitts1252]

The day he died was a horrible one for me...as most could and would say...

[@Dubinski88]

I grew up with music like Linkin Park, System of a Down and Slipknot and listened to it a lot throughout my youth. Even though I have tried out many other types of music and have learned to love them, I will always return to these and similar bands because it is just such diverse music that gets under your skin. Your reactions, verbal and non-verbal, have once again brought me to this music and I am simply incredibly grateful that I can experience it and thank you for your obviously honest reaction to the music.

[@davidw3673]

The video of him practicing this backstage is even more raw and powerful to me.

[@grobertson3171]

As far as i know this is the first and last time they ever did this cover, and it was in Adelle's hometown in the UK

[@mslpfanatik]

They practiced at some of the meet and greets leading up to the iTunes Festival that year (2011 I think) and you can find them here on YT

[@djmini_aus]

I really hope it was the link to this that I left you a few months ago on your reaction to Crawling that brought you here. So glad you got to see and hear this amazing performance from Mike and Chester.

[@rb4734]

The un-LP likeness of this song gives it more power. Chester could do it all!

[@mylena3086]

That little breath moment also hit me Like I felt that, the placement and emotion is so beautiful

[@ralphywiggum9600]

Hearing and seeing Chester sing right now nearly brought me to tears. ❤

[@similik101]

Chester saved us all. ❤

[@mikeluna656]

You need to hear more of him, he had a way of expressing pain like few others.

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Thanks for a brilliant reaction & and analysis, Bethany. You echoed what many of us think & feel watching this. I remember the first time I watched & listened to this it drew a tear or two at the fact we've lost such a talented human. I really do think that we had only been given a taste of Chester's abilities that may have had him collaborate across multiple genres given more time. He will never be forgotten.

[@Nuggett1337]

[@BrandonWestfall]

Are you ever going to have an original thought?

[@adst1980]

@@BrandonWestfallI might do, probably around the same time you have a nice thought. Have you ever thought that many people say the same things because they all agree on what’s being said?

[@viniciuslpm]

Oi!! I found your channel because Gabriel Henrique reactions. Linkin Park give me the best moment of my life. I did a trip from the south of Brazil to Santiago, in Chile just for their Concert. The week that I stayed there was the best of my life, this was in may, in july Chester past😢

[@ryanakahoward5246]

it will be 7 years this July 20th when Chester left this world. I was an assistant manager at O'Reilly Auto parts when I heard about his death. I cried, in front of my co-workers and tears were in my eyes when i was with customers. I miss Chester's voice and I wonder how many more people he could have touched. but life and death and the struggles we all face are a strange mystery and we all do our best. I don't blame him or condone his choice, I am just....sad. That's the only thing I can honestly say. After 7 years, I am still just sad. To me, to world is lesser without him. I'm gonna go and cry into a pillow now, screaming his highest notes! goodnight all!

[@mylena3086]

I just gotta say when I noticed that it wasn't 'in the end' as one might expect after the very first notes I said 'wows, he got soul' Like obviously he is a gem but also he got it in the musical sense

[@Dt.1.KENOBI]

first time hearing...Chester had some soul in that voice...never heard that part of him...respect

[@clandestineshimmer232]

I love this so much. It is so sad, yet leaves me feeling so grateful and melancholy but uplifted. Breaking the Habit is one I would like to see you do. And anything from Mike Shinoda's album after Chester passed away "Post Traumatic." ETA: One More Light, just the song, is beautiful.

[@brutalgamez2758]

Chesters voice on live is most great artist studio voice... thats how much of a legend he is

[@zm_playz5202]

you should listen to one more light its very emotional and vocal based..? idk not very intense, you will love it (live version (Chris Cornell Tribute))

[@zipauthorzipauthor7867]

Just your emotion and expression adds so much to the experience ❤

[@reanimated]

I'm not sure if it's part of the video you saw, or if anything was kind of cut, but it's interesting how he started way too high and Mike had to call him over to be like "dude no, check yourself" lol. On that note, it'd be really cool for you to tackle any of LP's songs where they have major harmonization, like "Iridescent." I always give a friend of mine crap for claiming he can't tell their voices apart unless Mike is rapping. They blend spooky good, yes, but YOU CAN TELL. I'd also highly recommend Mike's song "fine."

[@austinmdpedi]

You are right. He could sing *anything*. I miss Chester. Thanks for reviewing this song.

[@TheNosferatu666]

AWESOME resung/replay by Chester & the band Linkin Park + the awesome crowd singing along!

[@alphooey]

No disrespect to Adel but this cover is perfection. Makes me tear up.

[@weibsstuck]

If you listen to 'The Little Thing Give You Away' or 'Shadow of The Day' he uses less grit and growl and more pure voice there in comparison. Also 'The Messenger' where they're just sat around on chairs at a meet n greet with fans that's incredible to hear Chester's voice with no microphone just filling the room!

[@doegyi9873]

amazing mood & technique. still missing Chester 😢😢

Thank you for dissecting our favorite songs and making more sense of why we loved them from the first listen!

This is Adelle’s song. Many people have sung this. I agree I like it, his version is his and I like the audience participation. He has a wide range of songs he can sing. He can go from singing within his screams to using his voice in many octaves and he can sing acoustical as well.
