This comes from the Roxy on Dec 9th 2008, this is Chester Benninghton of Linkin Park singing with Camp Freddy along with Slash the Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love
I find it amazing how some of you cannot hear the vocal versatility this man has. I'm 50 years old, been around for a pretty long time and have heard (live) and been a fan of many rock vocalists (including the mighty Rbt Plant). Chester is a chameleon when it comes to singing....from his anquish screams to his passionate 'smooth' live renditions of songs like 'Rolling in the Deep'. He's definitlely on my top 5 rock vocalist list from the last 30+ yrs.

Chester is a chameleon when it comes to singing....from his anguish screams to his passionate 'smooth' live renditions of songs like 'Rolling in the Deep'. He's definitely on my top rock vocalist list from the last 40+ yrs. Since my last post he has sadly left us. I was lucky to have met him twice and will cherish the pictures I have of us. RIP Gentle Soul with an amazing talent. Thank you so much for leaving us a gift that will last forever 🙏💖
95 % of people down in comment section below were just wasting time arguing(comparing one singer's vocal to another,what he did what he didn't in the cover ....But if he did something ....These haters would still hate him either way like if he reached higher notes than that of Plant/or as a respect to Robert plant he didnt sing that high)...Nobody there wasn't just enjoying the music... Anyway...I love the music they had played and love to see that Chester Bennington and slash together did that cover of Led Zeppelin song.That's freaking awesome... RIP CHESTER BENNINGTON 😧
I wish i was there! so jealous of the people in the crowd, Chester is a great singer whether you like LP or not you have to admit it cant wait too see them in december
Chester sounded MUCH better than I thought he would.Props to chester great job.Best cover I have heard of that song in awhile.Just noticed Dave Navarro.Nice
I used to think of chester like aback street boy , but after hearing him do justice to the Led Zeppelin classic Whole lotta love . I ve changed my mind about him thumbs up chester >>
Hell yeah! I don't think many people could do such an awesome version of Whole Lotta Love and even come close to matching what Robert Plant does but Chester is great! He can thrash his voice like Robert.
Chester Bennington is fucking incredible on this. The breakdown bit at 3:08 right through to the scream at 4:00 - oh mama! Loved his version of Mountain Song too.
@Gnomofoby Your forgetting he is not trying to sing over the top, the song is a classic. be stupid to have Chester sing high ranges and do his death screams on again.. a classic. He was merely trying to keep it moderate to the originals, due to respect. Chester vocals can exceed so many and at the same time can actually sing from ballads and soft rock and hip-pop to Metal and Hardcore Punk.
I don't like Linkin Park. But Chester is brilliant. He has an amazing feeling of all songs that he doing live. Tom91381, thank you for all your videos about Camp Freddy shows.
haha.common man,linkin park nver gravitated towards flashy guitar playing or bass playing, but instead they found ways on how to be linking with each others melody and rhytymn in very creative way, they put together different genres of music together such as electronica, hiphop and alternative rock and make it into one sound that's undistinguishable and they r not even a rock band, theyre music is a new type of fusion,check out the list for the wrld's bests band, ur favrite band may not be in it
Chester eri un grande,qualsiasi canzone tu riuscivi a cantare; poi questa proprio alla grande. Resterei sempre nei nostri cuori. Infine come dico sempre mi manchi 🌹❤️
@xlilcutie93x Amen to that, simple can be just as awesome as complex...I love acoustic songs for their simplicity, but I also greatly enjoy complex stuff.
Dear too many to name: Since when was music only about reaching the highest notes or making the most complicated riffs/solos? Music can be great because of simplicity and complexity. As long as it sounds good then why does it matter? Rock fans (esp) nowadays try to be all elitist and snobby about it and it's fucking annoying. Just because a fugue is more complex than a sonata, is it automatically better even if the sonata sounds better? A lot of you I feel would say so just to say so >.>
@snidelywhiplash As an LP fan i must ask.. how is it douche bag music? Linkin park is far one of the greatest and actual bands th in our modern times that does try to do something different. Regardless I aint ganna bash on you, but LP is a sick band.
Guess it's difficoult to write a solo like that way more than repeat it... Slash wrote some of the best guitar solos ever just as Page... they're both my favourite guitar player :D
Holy crap... that kid can actually sing? I hate Linkin Park, but he sounds absolutely great here! The only person I have heard that has done better on a Zeppelin song is Chris Cornell, actually.
@Gnomofoby I never said in specifics he can do better than him, but there are things that Chester can do that he can't. Chester is one of the greatest modern singers. If you dont like the band he is in, due to style then that is different. But Chester is a good singer. No one is a GOD OMG singer. get over that.
@marcelorox311 That's why I said "I *think* it's crappy..." as opposed to a categorical statement like "It IS crappy." It was an expression of opinion, and I was careful to phrase it that way.
@Traiannnn I never said he can't do Screams. He can, yes, and very well. If I do not admit it, i would be a complete idiot. Chester makes amazing Screams. I don't need to see Faint to surprise me. I saw and I had no surprise, because I knew he was makes great Screams. But that's all he can do. Screams. His voice is too smooth and clean when he is not doing their screams. Because it is so soft, he can not do drives, or reach high treble.

ABSOLUTELY. Vocal brilliance that the world will forever miss.
Definitely one of the best to ever do it 👌🏻
For sure
Amen xo
And now he's gone
4:00 G5 scream ! Damn what a legend
Incredible, right? He’s a beast

I'm speechless. Can't breathe.
Well... I have to admit, Chester Bennington surprised me in a positive way by singing a Led Zeppelin song. Good job! =P
Kinda like he killed the Deftones, Adele, STP, Jane’s addiction, NIN, the Stones, Pantera, AC/DC, etc….

Memo to Velvet Revolver: this is your new lead singer. Whatever it takes to get him, do it.

Nossa que trabalho incrível de cover do Chester e do Slash 😮
Wow this is really good!
Im glad he didnt try to sound like Robert
Tinker SBG he give justice though
So we have slash then dave navarro... and chester. Like how godly is this.
@xlilcutie93x Amen to that, simple can be just as awesome as complex...I love acoustic songs for their simplicity, but I also greatly enjoy complex stuff.
and this comes from a small camera too!
Pqp!!!!! Isso é incrível!!!! Porque vc fez isso com a gente Chester????? Que saudade!!!!!
Fred Durst??!! He's good at what he does, but he knows his limits haha. He wouldn't even attempt this, much less upstage Chester. Nobody could.
u got that right brother!!

Yep.
Slash é o melhor
@snidelywhiplash no its not crappy music, you just dont like it
franky perez did a awsome whole lotta love with slash in Norway this year

fucking. A-Mazing!
m2 I can say more as that I just fucking totally agree!
Hey, did you GO to dis show? I seen Camp Freddy in the MIA - dey are fucking AMAZING!!!!
wow !!! xD
@marcelorox311 That's why I said "I *think* it's crappy..." as opposed to a categorical statement like "It IS crappy." It was an expression of opinion, and I was careful to phrase it that way.
if John Bonham was the drummer it would be epic!

U clearly haven't heard Linkin Park or Chester enough to know he can rasp his voice like crazy. Listen to Grey Daze
