      It boggles my mind how this band was "edgy" at the time, though it was all real pain Chester was feeling and putting out there through art.

It was probably the fact that our family was all together in the same place when she took her last breath, giving us such a cathartic moment to participate in together, that when Chester died, and I didn’t have that, all I could do was scream. It was indeed as heavy as losing a family member for me 💔

    Chester went to high school with my daughter in Phx, Az.
    They were friends, the "in crowd" of the theater geeks. I have seen him perform in high school musical productions like Oklahoma. I emptied my pool one winter...and he and his high school band played for us from the bottom of my pool!!
    The kids from the theater group still stay in touch...not often...
    When Chester died, they all gathered virtually to comfort each other. My daughter posted.."If only you would have called...any one of us....like we used to do....and crawl up through the hatchway to the roof of the theater....and talk...til the sun came up..."
    RIP Chester

I think that the depth of emotion inside is what drew many to him, amplified by his voice, that Linkin Park magic. I think to survive with this, you have to learn to harness it, to realise the depth of emotion you feel is not something that everyone has, but it is a normal part - just like some people get different skills than others.

Hearing and feeling that understanding from another, knowing we're not alone, hearing that its ok to be who we are and feel the way we do: it's indescribable.

By doing so, he helped to shape & fortify so many young fans that grew into the people we are today. I hope more than *anything* that he’s at peace now, wherever he is.

    One of THE voices of all time. He had a very 'inside out' approach to his performances. The angst, the darkness, the pain always sounded genuine, now, knowing the journey his life took, they sound even more powerful.
    The loss of anyone so young is heart breaking, yet his legacy will last!
    And the power of his singing is proved by your emotional reaction.
    Thank you for sharing

    I’ve never heard of the song; the simplicity of his words have such universal effects on everyone at this concert, and I imagine those watching this performance. The connection with this man was made, well before knowing his pain led to a tragic end.
    This is now my favorite reaction from Bethany. The feelings she just shared, allowing her to be vulnerable to all that watch this.
    Her humanity and kindness are on full display, it felt like she was feeling all the pain this song evokes. My intuition says she’s an empath, which is a overly used word for those that feel the pain in the world, yet have a very positive effect on those around them.

    I was never a big Linkin Park fan, but I appreciate their contributions and how many lives they touched. Watching this "with" you, I cried so much. Just seeing all of the love being offered to him from his fans, and knowing that it wasn't enough to keep him around was so impactful and profound...This opened up a new respect for Chester within me.

    As a man, a husband, a father, a son, a brother, and a therapist whos faught deamons, wanted to give up, and saw no reason the throws of depression are unbearable at times. Finding hope is bleak and the walls close in. Chester vocalized hisvstory in real time with his fans and helped countless along the way. Tragically his fight ended in a tragic way. His messages continue to resonate and help people. Stay connected to people regardless of which side of depression you may be on. Its a brutal fight.

    I rarely watch footage from this live concert, because it is so intimate. And I miss Chester so much. I want to remembe him with a powerful voice, full of energy. From all the good and talented people, that have left us, he is the one, I miss the most.

  • @jordythebassist
    @jordythebassist Před 3 měsíci +1

    A lot of my favourite musicians have passed away in my time, but Chester was probably the hardest one of all. He got so many of us through hard times in our lives and gave us so much, and it feels like we didn't give enough back for him. His voice was so distinctive, it's been said so many times but he could sing like an angel and scream like a demon.
    RIP Chester, you helped more of us than you will ever know. And thank you for this reaction and letting it play through.

    You hit several points that made this group so good. I remember when I first started listening to them, the most profound, often overlooked part was the depth of the lyrics. People of all ages, color, culture could, if hearing the words, identify with. Chester was unfiltered and wore his emotions on his sleeve! Great work 🙏🏻

  • @D4WeeMaN
    @D4WeeMaN Před 10 měsíci +6

    This is how he left this world, in the warm embrace of his fans, the extended hands with the touch of appreciation and understanding. He left this life to continue living in every fan's soul. Sad you left, glad you were here Chester.

    Noone comes close to Chester in his ability to convey emotion and pain through his voice.

My heart breaks for Chester everytime I hear him.

  • @nrwl23
    @nrwl23 Před 10 měsíci +9

    What strikes me about seeing this again is that despite the depth and connection with the audience and how much he cared for people the demons he faced were so persistent. You can feel the pervasive loneliness even in a crowd of people. It leaves me feeling like there aren't answers that help or make sense for some of us. I will always remember Chester.

    I've heard this song countless times, but never this Live version. Very touching, I was nearly brought to tears myself. This is how it should be done, a performer opening themselves and singing from the soul, the fans all singing in unison, the world is so right, so perfect, if only for those fleeting moments. TO be honest, am very grateful I heard it this way today. I will always remember you showed it to me. No matter what anyone else thinks, thats important to me. My Thanks to You, Miss Bethany Hickman

  • @frodofraggins
    @frodofraggins Před 10 měsíci +7

    I had never heard or seen this rendition of the song. I don't think I could listen to this again knowing how much pain he was in when he took his own life. Losing him a month after Chris Cornell was really too much for me to comprehend as they were favorite vocalists of the 2000's and 2010's.
    I tend not to focus too much on lyrics but this rendition makes it impossible to ignore.

    So hauntingly beautiful. One more light, the messenger, roads untraveled, my december, crawling, valentine's day, waiting for the end, powerless, hands held high. LP has released so many beautiful arrangements through the years and I owe them a lot. Sure some of the more heavier pieces are amazing as well, but thinking back through the years listening to LP, my favorites have slowly shifted.
    I have a beautiful picture of Chester hanging on my wall but I owe all of them so much. May Chester forever be in our hearts.

    Mike Shinoda said Chester always found the harsh vocals very easy and that he had the toughest time with soaring vocals like Crawling.

    His death was a great loss for all of us.
