But these clips are probably the best part.
Say what you want, but Hybrid Theory was one of the best albums of the past 25 years, no question. What an amazing record and so unique at the time too.
Still holds it's place today. In my opinion, up there with Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon
Also Meteora
Best-selling rock record of the 21st century!
@@GabrielCroft no. Not even close.
@@TheLastWordWithBobtrue its better
I love Linkin Park, every member is amazing but hearing Chester's voice & Mike rappin made me an instant fan. LP is my #1 forever. RIP Chester Bennington
To be fair, Mike was singing in some songs as well! And it sounds amazing. They were the best duo, 100%
@@OldJayPokerman yes they were. Mike & Chester were perfect complement to one another. Best Duo indeed
LP your #1 forever? Oh cool LP!! The girl singer is your #1!! Great brotha!! 👍
Here's a link of her singing acoustic, enjoy 😎 czcams.com/video/61NTzhoBeYU/video.html
Same here. LP is my #1 band. LP soldier for life!
Street soldier for life. I don't care how cheesy that may sound, it is what it is, and it's true. #RIPChester
Mike thinks his life through, in and out. You can see how he responded to the last question with so much internal deliberation, clarity and awareness. One of the reasons why he is an artist of great stature.
YES. Highly respected in the music community. They were true artists.
@@piteusx8440 Not really. Linkin Park were the ultimate trend followers. Nobody even pretended to respect them until Chester offed himself.
@@MultiUnreal 🤣
@@MultiUnreal we must be living in parallel worlds then 😅
@@MultiUnreal ultimate trend followers ? are you insane ?
"It was like being a member of a club I didn't want to join" hits hard.
He said something similar on the Trevor Noah show a few years ago
The Dave grohl club
Powerful powerful quote 🗣✍🏻For many situations I can relate 💔
No it didn’t
Wonder why he stayed besides the money and fame then.
I was in rehab fighting my own demons when my counselor told me the lead singer for Linkin Park had taken his life. She didn't know she was telling me my childhood release was dead.
@legend Assuming they are meaning he was a safe place and through their music it allowed pent up emotions and anger to be “released” through music
Why did your counselor think it was a good idea to bring that up?
Stay strong pal. Much love! X
@@kevinzhang6623 Honestly, it's better to do it while the person is in a situation that they can get help, rather than have them find out once they leave rehab, in the most vulnerable state, possibly without a support system that could get them through that.
Your counselor doesn't sound very bright. Fan or not, that really shouldn't come up to a person in your vulnerable position.
Hope you're doing better and remembering Chester through his music.
I didn’t realize Chester had a rough upbringing. I also had a similar upbringing and let me tell you, it fuels your depression, self doubt, imposter syndrome, insecurities, among other things. I am reminded if the quote “Its much easier to build strong children than repair broken men”.
Amen! And God bless you. No child should ever be robbed of their childhood. I am so sorry to hear anything even close to that happened to you. I also had a very rough childhood, but not in comparison to other traumas I've heard. Just know, you are not alone.
Look up the Clinton connection to Chester
it was even worse than that. quite severe sexual abuse he endured as a child.
Wow
It’s neither easier nor more difficult to “build strong children” than “repair broken men” and both of those ambiguous phrases have infinite meanings. But stick to your simple minded phrase if it makes you feel better
You can always tell Mike tries his best to not bring up the personal details of Chester’s struggles. I think at this point he probably hates that a lot of these interviews are digging for personal stories about Chester’s struggles that he really doesn’t feel comfortable telling.
Mention he drinks alot etc etc . But we all no why . Avoid his youth days being abused ! he wasn’t a wild child he wanted to escape
I had the good fortune to not only meet Chester, but visit his home while he was still living in Long Beach, during the time he was doing Dead by Sunrise with Ryan and Amir. I met not only him, but his wife and son while setting up some networking equipment there. Very kind, very nice, and very sorely missed.
Wow that’s really cool
You are one blessed human being. Just wow! We all have our blessings that are definitely just as good, but gee freakin wiz... That is dope!!!
Wasn't his wife in another relationship less than a year later
@@jamesirvine9541 yap and she' already divorced
@@biroti89 speechless
I saw them in concert 2014. It was amazing. They got in the crowd. They were hugging everyone in the crowd and hugged each other at the end. You don't see people going into the crowd like that anymore. They were just so genuine
❤
Carnivores Tour? With AFI and Thirty Seconds to Mars? That was a great one
They were one of my favorite bands in the 2000s… but after their album “Meteora” I lost interest
@@nsasupporter7557 So their one album you liked? Lol
@@GabrielCroft he said two albums. Not one.
Hybrid Theory is one of the best albums ever.
Yes. And followed up by one of the best albums ever.
W take. It was so good
Meteora is no less.
First cd I ever owned
I can't tell if I love it more or less than Meteora. Both masterpieces.
I would like to hear a lot more about how Mike's relationship with Chester worked throughout the years, now us knowing that Chester battled deep depression throughout the years. Honestly, not interested in their songwriting/band dynamic, but really more about what it was to deal with somebody like that. Obviously not everybody is comfortable talking too much about this kind of stuff, but would be really educational to listen to what Mike has to say.
I agree
I agree
100% agree
I agree (x4)
Sure
I think one of the saddest things about Chester in his passing is the lyrical content of all of his material. It always seems that the most abused and depressed artists produce some of the best material. The most twisted and saddening content, lyrically and emotionally, that we can relate to or understand, is written or performed by equally suffering souls. I just wish we could have helped him.
Comedians are the same. Some of the greatest comedians were depressed and dark.
"There is no great genius without some touch of madness." -Aristotle
music is art. art is best when emotion is put into it.
When people are mostly happy, they don’t get the feeling of needing to express their emotions the same way a tortured person desires to drag out the depths of their feelings so they don’t feel alone.
Talinda has something to say about his creative outlet…. Narcissists will destroy you. 😢
Him. Chris Cornell , Layne Staley (Alice in chains). I mean the list goes on
Meteora is a masterpiece.
Because Mike, Chester, Dave, Brad, Rob and Joe are Master's. God bless!
Chester blessed us with beautiful music for years. He changed the game.
Amen!
They were so dynamic together, the way their styles aligned was incredible.
Mike is super well spoken. Knows exactly what to say and how.
Mike is such a handsome, talented, well-spoken and wholesome person. The world is lucky to have him ❤
Mike wrote a lot about what he was feeling after Chester died in his solo album Post Traumatic. Great album.
A great album but needs more attention.
@@michaelzainey5781 couldn’t agree more!!!!!!
It’s been six years now and I still can’t believe he’s gone!!! RIP CHESTER!!! LINKIN PARK FOREVER!!! 🎤🎸
🙏🕯😔 happy birthday 2 him
Could listen to Mike talk about this all day
Amen.
Mike really opened up here and i could relate so much.. i guess every LP fan here feels the same way.... Their music is therapy for me for hours on end but the one that saved my life will always be 'Given Up'.
There's a video of Chester explaining depression. It was short and to the point and I knew exactly that feeling. Have similar issues and get it.
@@lorir5728 I have been fighting it for most of my existence and still do I even tried to do away with myself a few years ago
Howard is a great interviewer
0:01 His smile faded when they mentioned chester
I know we all love Chester, he's the best and we miss him alot but we must also appreciate Mike Shinoda while we still have him. We must protect him at all costs.
Protect him from what?
❤
Are you a big fan of mine?
we love you Mike!
Chester and Mike are just made for each other, such a unique sound truly groundbreaking.
I love that Mike is such a good communicator. I've actually always admired that about all the LINKIN PARK members - that they are good communicators.
Absolutely
Mike I love you so much
Mike is such an inspiration. He always seems grounded or just genuinely happy to do stuff while being a total badass at his craft
Worded perfectly. Mike is a total and complete badass with music. Very talented.
I love that Mike did this. There isn't a host on this planet that's able to get people to open up and talk about stuff like Howard, this was a great interview.
seriously, how does he do that? he gets people to open up so easily
Strange thing is he bugs Dave grohl about Kurt so much every single time he's on. It got so repetitive
@@DB-dm2xm Kurt made a huge impact and still has a lot of fans out there. People are curious, maybe Howard is, too, so of course he'll continue to bring it up. Sure, if Dave doesn't want to talk about it, that's completely fine and up to him, but considering that huge impact Cobain and Nirvana made, people will continue to ask.
@@ichmeiner4531 Howard is older than them. He KNOWS the Kurt situation inside out.
@@aqnetwork1367 easy. He has the time. This isn’t a late night chat show. And he does the trick of putting his feelings into the question, I.e _”if that were me. I would be mad. How did you feel?”_
There were some key moments to explore Mikes life too and the key of their dynamic but Stern continues to push for what he wants to hear.
Mike Shinoda = Gem
Chester was the heart of Linkin Park, and Mike is the soul
Much respect to Mike Shinoda I love Linkin Park and hope they can continue on in some way RIP Chester
He was so respectful in his answers about Chester Mikes a class act.
Linkin park was the first band i ever listened to when i was 12. They played a big role in the formation of my music taste (Rock/Metal). Chester and mike were a magic duo. I was devastated by his loss. He was a great singer and had a very unique voice.
His voice will forever be legendary to me.
I love how you can tell he feels more comfortable now talking about chester than the earlier interviews from few years ago
Hybrid theory one of the greatest albums of all time
I was lucky enough to attend their very last show which was a remembrance show for Chester at the Hollywood Bowl. Not a dry eye at the event.
Will the entire interview be uploaded, would really love to see it completely.
Mike! You're back with your Flannel🥹
Love Mike Shinoda, always will
Their music helped and still helps me through depression. It’s gonna be okay
Been an outsider my entire life, even with family I never truly felt like I fit in anywhere so it's been quite the journey. Being able to relate to these guys is a plus, being a part of the LP fanbase makes things a little easier because of the shared experiences. If that makes sense
Stay strong in your belief in yourself and your individuality. I get along with my family, but I don't conform to the group thing.
some people just speak. some people think before they speak.
Mike is a thinker.
Mike belongs to the race called LEGENDS 🔥
Haha! Amen
I love Mike shinoda just as much as Chester both of them made that band amazing 😁
As we learn more about Chester we also learn more about Mike and I'm so fing happy🥰😭🥰🥰🥰
What do mean by learn more Chester was open about his depression in fact if you go back to a couple of his interviews on the year he died the warning signs were there
❤
Are you a big fan of mine?
RIP Chester
I love this, i love Mike, i have so much respect for him and for Chester
it's very comforting hearing him talk about it in the way that he does
I saw them in concert a few weeks before Chester took his life. It was one of the best nights of my life, the energy at the Chelsea was insane. Chester was in the crowd and just vibing with us. I couldn’t believe this happened later. RIP
Can’t believe it’s been more than 5 years since Chester’s passed 😢
Linkin Park has always been my favorite band and probably group of people as a whole. In so many ways they saved not just my life, but my spirit from breaking at a young age. 🙏
Mike’s album Post Traumatic is amazing
Thank you for your honesty Mike.
❤
Are you a big fan of mine?
Hybrid Theory and Living Things are the best LP albums in my opinion. It’s crazy to hear what went on behind the scenes of HT. I have so much respect for Mike and Chester (And of course the rest of LP). They all hold a special place in my heart.
"Being a member of a club that I didn't wanna join"
Why is this so relatable... 💔
❤
Are you a fan of mine?
Where are you jamming from?
I did not even know Chester and I feel sad... Chester was my idol and still being my idol... I will remember you forever Chester
Linkin Park is a great group. R.I.P.
Bro. Linkin Park just released a new'ish track. Still alive my friend.
@Linkin Parker No Thank you.
@@ejicon3099 They're clearly alive, when robots are still spamming them. Lol
It was
That's why people loved his voice. You can't have a great emotional voice without the real pain. 💔
Linkin Park was the first band I ever really listened to back in my teen years starting around 03 / 04 and they will always be my favorite band.
Their music was really therapy. I went through hardest time of life only with listening to them. Breaks my heart every time i think of chester. I wish he was still among us
LP Forever. RIP Chester. Keep you in our memories.
we really miss Chester
I love Linkin park still remember the first album dropping and being blown away.
I still get goosebumps thinking about it.
Missing Chester Bennington's beautiful voice and his music!! R.I.P Chester Bennington 😢💔
I miss Chester, what a special group. Seeing LP in Detroit a month before hybrid theory was one of the best events I’ve ever been to
To be honest, he seems extremely chill and level-headed talking about Chester, especially for having gone through that kind of trauma. I dunno, what I'm trying to say is that it must take an enormous amount of emotional strength and maturity to come out the other side of a tragedy as well as Mike did. Props to him 🙏
May be chill on the outside, but inside I imagine it's still very draining for him.
Maybe time has helped since it’s been a few years 😢 Maybe releasing Lost was a way for them to finally let go
Creating and releasing the solo album "Post Traumatic" would have helped a lot as well.
Time has that effect. It's all still there, it's just not as raw anymore.
Rip Chester. Lp was the soundtrack to my life growing up.
He will be missed
Love you, Mike. LP was a huge part of my childhood and teenage years, and YOU were a huge part of that. We all love and miss Chester very much, but I’m so happy that you continue to be so thoughtful, inspiring, kind, and caring. Thank you for all of the music you’ve brought to us over the years, and continue to make, and for being a role model.
Favourite band of all time for me personally, hybrid theory will always have a special place in my heart ❤ was one of my first rock albums I got into think I was around 8 or 9
LP always gets my emotions flowing.❤🔥
Mike was always a little more than 50% of the reason I loved LP, and since rising tied he was the main focus, which is why Im so happy he continues
Rip chester. All the songs bring back memories.
I'd love to watch this whole Interview.
Mike is so awesome!
Thank you, Mike….For being honest and real.
Hybrid Theory is the first album I ever heard and bought and I know there are so many that share my same experience and have been shaped and by their art.
Rest in Peace Chester. We all missing you so much.
Oh Mike...thanks for being so open
Howard still not back in the studio cracks me up
the only reason why i fell in love with music. ❣
I relate to what Mike was talking about only for me it was an issue of class. I lived on the poor side of town and went to a Catholic School for the rich. At school I was made fun of for not having new, name brand clothes on everyday and in the neighborhood I was looked at as the preppy boy that was to good to go to school with them. So I totally felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere I went. So makes sense that I like LP’s music
Cmon LP fans, let's make Meteora20 and Lost #1 in the charts!! For Chester, for Mike, for the band.. The LP legacy continues 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Please make an official LP documantary Mike. I would gladly pay and go see it in a theater .
I grew up almost the same experience as Chester. Wish I could tell him that his music actually helped me survive and process a lot of fucked up shit ❤
This interview is by far one of the best interviews I have ever seen in my life. Makes you think, makes you REALLY THINK! I LOVE IT!
I love Linkin Park. You have changed my life and your music always gives tears to my eyes. Thank you for your wonderful music.
My heart still breaks 😞
It is encouraging to see how Mike has managed the loss. The candid manner in which he can freely discuss it after the fact. One could be tempted to think he hadn't been moved so much by it but that is an impossible thought. I take from this a means for me to try deal with future losses I'll have to get through. Mike has a stability that is admirable and I'm taking notes
Mike and Chester were close, they said at times they spent more time together than their spouses. I couldn't imagine how I would feel losing someone that close to me, and as a fan I was gutted when I heard about Chester. Mike was there for us fans, he did what he could to stay connected. Mike expressed his feeling, and I'm sure not all of them, in Post Traumatic, he was going through his grieving process while making sure we were OK.
All admiration I had for Mike before grew a million times more after.
I love Chester. When i saw he died, it was shocked. I crying all night. Rest in peas
Amazing band and what an amazing singer with a huge vocal range. Such a loss.
Best band ever 😢
The linkin park fans are always here for Mike.
Rest in peace and i love you chester bennington ❤️
Listen to his solo single "Over and Over". You'll understand how he felt.
Amen! Beautiful song, along with "Promises I Can't Keep" & "Nothing Makes Sense Anymore."
Favorite band ever
Hybrid Theory IMHO is one of the best albums of all time!
It still hurts.
