[@thepisceanlion4171]

NearlySeniorCitizen I really appreciate your empathy for Chester and his loved ones. I think it takes a really big man to allow the world to see you cry. I honestly just have to tell you I like and respect you so much.

[@poketipscr]

Sir you have all my respect. Not everybody shows real feelings on camera. I identify myself with What you have expressed. We need more people like you

He is such a good man

[@kid0ra]

Nooooo don't apologize for crying. We miss him too... I broke down crying when I heard he died. He made such an impact on my life and is the reason I'm still alive today.... I feel u buddy, and we're all going to miss him

[@learn-2-earnn]

I too had tears seeing Chester in this song ...he was THE voice I went back to and still go back to..

[@blackdog6969]

As someone with depression, his death both scared me but I could understand. I had a nightmare that same night about him and when I woke up, I was devastated. The one man that got me through hell was gone. Chester will never be forgotten, he's a part of everyone that took his voice, words and messages to heart

[@williamroeben]

It still hurts that he's gone

[@FAQIvan91]

Awww you're too dear. I have to admit that some tears fell from my eyes too. We all miss the beatiful person and amazing artist called Chester. ❤

[@theeggthatsurvivedhowtobas778]

i was born in 2005, around the time linkin park was growing hugely. My dad grew up listening to linkin park. So he got me into their music around my age of 4. He knew chester in person as well. I had a rough childhood with my parents. My dad was an addict, and before you knew it i was separated from my parents with never seeing my mom since then and my dad visiting two to four times a year until 3 yrs ago when i turned twelve. He started doing drugs again, And last year i heard from my aunt who heard from my mom that he had sadly committed suicidal overdose from heroin, No clue whether it was intentional or accidental. I then over time struggled into depression when in late 2019 i was placed in a mental hospital, then another one, then a temporary replacement home. Now i am back with my family and nothing's really changed. I'm still struggling. But listening to chester sing brings light to my day but always makes me cry at the same time. Rest in peace dad and Chester.

[@imiivestreamer]

the unfair parts of life. we never enjoy them nor will we ever understand why it happened.BUT theres always hope to turn out greater than our past shadows.

[@TuskenRaider17]

Your not the only one who does this. Its a whole other feeling listening to Chester. Before it was calming, but nowadays atop the calm, I would stop and reflect on more while I hear his voice.

[@vincenttorchinsky7340]

My god I was shocked to see you cry, and I was feeling sad because I instantly taught "My god that man must cry because he probably was in that situation". I really didn't expected you to cry on that song and it really impacted me. I really love your channel because, well I'm not used to see Seniors listening to new style of music (mostly metal, such as Make them suffer or Desolated, Periphery etc...). Also you have a simple but lucid listening when you listen to music, which is pleasant, because so many youtube channels just react on songs but don't actually say intelligent things about it. I wish you good health and to keep up your work :)

[@williamroeben]

I do my reaction videos this fashion PRECISELY because so many "reaction" channels are a literal CANCER on youtube. I cannot STAND those people who sit and STARE at a video and don't SAY anything about it; I hate those people that jump around like chimpanzees on meth- just SIT DOWN and TALK to me, dammit! I want to KNOW why you like something... tell me! So I do my reactions in a transformative (CONSTANT commentary) fashion and TALK about WHY I like something. Sorry for the book, but thank you so much for enjoying my videos and actually catching WHY I do them the way I do :)

[@williamroeben]

...fact is, while it is CERTAINLY not worth getting into a legal fight, especially since I am one guy and a record label has a legal DEPARTMENT- a transformative video SHOULD be a PAID video... but life is life :)

[@vincenttorchinsky7340]

Yes, Unfortunately life is sometimes unfair. Thank you for making so much quality and entertaining videos, it's thanks to people like you that the real KZbin is actually a good and pleasant thing

[@williamroeben]

Thank you so very much for watching, enjoying, and commenting!

[@corinna007]

This is the song that introduced me to Linkin Park. One of my friends played it in class for one of our assignments. The news about Chester hit me harder than the other celebrity deaths in recent months, mostly because, even though I can't say I was/am a big LP fan, songs like this one really spoke to me during my teens. People talk about Cobain and co. being the voices of a generation; Chester was definitely a voice of mine.

[@williamroeben]

Jaja - I can definitely understand THAT feeling. It was and still is a HORRIBLE shock.

[@corinna007]

+NearlySeniorCitizen Yetagamer it was. I wish he could've gotten the help he needed.

[@BathoryDusk]

You weren't the only one tearing up here, sir. Although I had branched off of listening to Linkin Park, they were such a huge influence for my love of alternative music. And Chester is so legendary, a person MANY people looked up to and respected. Especially for this new generation. Hes so talented an irreplaceable. My heart goes out to Chester's friends and family. Rest in peace, Chester.

[@muralidharanj2857]

Your reaction made me cry it out with all the that I am enduring.... Song just makes me to cry it out like every one who would have been impacted by life

[@chantelb1595]

Thank you for making this reaction video. LP are one of my fav bands! I am so heartbroken about his death, even till this day. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it💔 such a talented,kind hearted man. He didn’t deserve to go through what he did in his childhood. He suffered with abuse, and rape when he was only seven up until he was 13. 😭 He was bullied and teased at school, his parents divorced when he was 11, and he fell into drugs and alcohol addiction. May he RIP❤️

[@HarlowTheoryX]

You're such a beautiful soul, I cried all the way with you. Thankyou so much in trying to understand his pain and not vilify him for giving in to those thoughts he fought all his life through 🌒💗

[@jmeddows]

You're a good man. A beautiful man. Keep on doing your thing. Love the raw emotion, and how you share your personal woes when discussing the pain of others.

Just the lyrics "and i know i may end up failing too" just made me give in too crying... R.I.P. Chester

[@dolphinpooh9447]

This man deserves a million subs

[@metzli64]

Even after his 1 year anniversary. It still hurts . Watching u cry .. I cried with u .u have a deep appreciation of their music. Playing this song on that fateful day, was fitting for the emotions of all the Linkin Park fans felt. #MakeChesterProud

[@manolmomchilov1192]

I get tears in my eyes every time I listen to this song, too... It was just so radically important to my upbringing and teenage years....

[@williamroeben]

I was about 35ish when this came out and it still spoke to ME as well!

[@sherrymyers4460]

DON'T EVER FEEL BAD FOR CRYING MAN.

[@fritzcolburn]

Chester was and Linkin Park were instrumental in my sobriety. His death is heartbreaking and I've shed many tears for him. My period of mourning is over. It's now time to celebrate him and his music. Only his body is gone. His soul has moved on and he lives.

[@bloodymascara2649]

Don't ever apologize for crying Bill, our tears can unite us as humans. I'm just sorry that Chester's demons were ultimately triumphant & now he's been added to the list of talented musicians who were lost too soon. May they all have found the peace they couldn't seem to ever find here.

[@williamroeben]

So many people, my age, older, and tragically, younger, have left us of late. It's so sad. When ANYONE dies I feel it's an indictment of the entire human race- we are all we have and to let someone else down so badly that they DIE... We are all we have on this earth and if we don't look out for each other no one else will.

[@deadtroll242]

Thank you for this. Chester and Linkin Park have saved my life several times simply because they showed me that I wasn't alone in those feelings! I just wish I or someone else could have done that for him.

[@linzombie8455]

I still cry when I hear his voice. Suicide is a very tricky and controversial topic, but I'm glad that people are starting to discuss mental health more and working on de-stigmatizing it. I lost someone I loved very much to suicide 6 months before Chester passed. I was really mad at my friend after the horror of it all began to wear off, but then it hit me...he had previous attempts as a teen and had been in his 30s when he died. I thought, "Who the hell am I to demand my loved one stay here, when they've been suffering and fighting for so long, just because I'm not ready to let them to go?"The year before my friend passed I had been drugged and raped and I had always sorta assumed I could sorta understand that trauma, but I didn't. Not until I was smack dab in the middle of it and my mind was doing it's best to deny it all. After the rape and my friend passing, my suicidal ideation went up (for people with chronic pain it's common to have a little). I once again found myself in a position that I thought I understood. It's so easy for us to judge someone else's actions even when we have NO IDEA what that person was actually experiencing. (I'm doing better now, just an FYI). As people, we really need to work on our judgment of other people and work on empathy. Thank you for your reaction to this...I felt it all with ya.

[@danielrowles4084]

Chester was the voice of a generation. You can tell he put every ounce of effort into is music. It's so sad how the people with the most powerful minds go so fast. I think music saved for as long as it good. And that's one thing about music. When it hits u, u feel no pain.

[@ahinckles]

Throughout all the videos I've seem from you, I've come to one conclusion: you're a really sweet guy and just an awesome person. Like you were saying, same with me.. he affected my life in a positive way so much. Linkin park was the first band I really got into and I would listen to them every morning while going to Jr. High. RIP Chester.. you most definitely will be missed

[@CharlieEst1981]

It's still hard accepting Chester and Chris Cornell passing away. I was 19 when I first heard Linkin Park in 2000, I remember buying the CD and a local record shop because the album cover looked cool, little did I realize I would have a connection so strong with the music.

I'm having a very hard time mentally lately, and I'm trying to not let it get worse, but it doesn't seem to be working. Chester leaving us didn't help matters much. Keep up the great videos, you're one of my favorite KZbinrs. ❤

[@williamroeben]

The most important thing to remember is when you are in a bad state of mind, you are unable to think clearly. Because you can not think clearly, you cannot make proper decisions. Because you cannot make proper decisions, it is SO important to NEVER make an important decision. Never make a rash decision in a bad state of mind, it will never work out well. Always be safe.

Great video. No one will ever have a voice like Chester, ever. Such a powerful voice. Money and fame truly can not buy happiness. Depression is real. He spoke about it in interviews and in his lyrics. But he had an amazing heart. R.I.P. Let's pray for his 6 children and wife, we know they're hurting as well.

[@shawnthemagician]

What I'd give to be able to sing like him .. so damn unique Rip Chester .. you might be gone but legends never truly die

[@phillykavanagh]

Chester was my favourite singer of all time, The first album I ever got was for my 12th birthday and it was Linkin Park's first album - Hybrid Theory. I found out on the morning of my birthday that Chester had died, I've never had a hangover disappear so quick in my life. First time in a long time that I cried on my birthday :( R.I.P. Chester

[@davidp4798]

My manz casually whips out a hamster out his small ass pocket 😂

[@ancatdal]

Thank you for being so open and authentic in your videos, for sharing yourself with us. A couple of days ago I watched an interview with the guitarist from Chester's old band Grey Daze, that recently released a remake/remaster album of their old songs titled Amends. It was Chester's idea to do that, but he never got to do it, so they did it in his memory. The guitarist mentioned that the title comes from a line from their song Morei Sky "If I had a second chance, I'd make amends". He felt sure that's how Chester would feel now. Unfortunately, depression only has to win one battle, while you have to win again and again, and there's no do over. I don't blame Chester, but I desperately wish he could be with us today. But I'm grateful we even got to have him. Linkin Park has helped me so much with their music, helped me understand and given me a sense that someone was with me in what I was going through. To me, that's the main strength of their music. Given what I've heard you share on your reactions to LP, I think you might find 'Waiting for the End' and 'One More Light' deeply moving, but they might be very tough to listen to, so only do so if you feel up for it. 'Nobody Can Save Me' and 'Battle Symphony' from their most recent album are songs I find very inspirational, you might too. Wishing you all the best, and thanks again for reacting to my favourite band. Lots of love all the way from Denmark.

[@xaeto5659]

R.I.P Chester, thanks for the reaction of a Legend

[@bethocopter]

After years of supporting Chester and linkin park ,you sort of understand how much Chester wanted to go , over the years the songs they have released just listen to the lyrics . Just reading them makes me feel pain and that’s how Chester felt , some linkin park fans criticised the band for the most recent song heavy , because it was too “poppy” but the thing is IT DOESNT MATTER the only thing that matters is that it is written from the heart and that’s what Chester did! I understand if you feel this is wrong , but after being a linkin park fan for at least 8 years I feel like this is what I believe Thank you for reading 💓 RIP Chester Bennington You will always live in our hearts ⭐️☘️

[@hayeeesheaaa7222]

* Tigg * MSP sorry to break your bubble but Mike Shinoda wrote 90% of the lyrics, we'll never know why he committed suicide but the most probable explanation is because his close friend Chris Cornell died.

[@sockfish123]

On the album Numb's song writer is credited as "Linkin Park". I agree Mike Shinoda was the main creative force of Linkin Park but there was sure a collaborative effort. The vast majority of Linkin Park's early works were songs about feeling alone or depressed and Chester doesnt have to be the only one in the group to feel those emotions. Speaking of being too "poppy", I stopped listening to the band after Minutes to Midnight because they indeed went too pop and that's not what I'm into.

[@malaysiandeadpool7671]
