Everyone saying they can't replace chester...it's not about replacing him. It's about keeping his legacy going and growing. He didn't work as hard as he did for LP to die with him.
Exactly! I don't think he would want the band to end because he passed.
Very well stated my friend! 💙👊🏼
I couldn’t agree more.
That’s what they all say
That's so very true.
Honestly, I think that after all this time passed, it’s not disrespectful to Chester to have a new singer. Obviously it will never be the same, but I’d be interested to see a new LP chapter.
that is true. a lot of bands have had someone pass away and they eventually carried on. bon scott died very young and ac/dc fans mourned his death greatly. ac/dc eventually moved on with brian johnson.
a girl can't do it
What does a girl have to do with anything @@metalmike6668
@@metalmike6668 wild
@@professorpenne9962like Alice In Chains for example
Queen kept Freddie mercury’s legacy alive after his death. I don’t see any reason why LP can’t do the same for Chester
I think it's fine, it's not always about keeping the legacy but about the music itself. if they want to create new music because they love it so why not? it's whatever they feel like.
I thought Adam did a great job with the band. I know they can do it with LP. ❤
Alice in Chains came back and gave us more great music. I'm all for it if they can do the same.
Terrible example. AIC v.2 is a joke.
Yeah definitely. AIC came back after 7 years after Layne's passing (Rest in peace Layne Staley 😢💔)
Yea but it’s mediocre, Jerry Cantrell is amazing musician but without layne aic is a shell of their former self, nothing against the new vocalist but layne was the heart and soul of Alice In Chains, Jerry was the brains. Now it’s just a soulless entity
@@ChickenJoe-tq6xdexactly, why can't they just start a new band with a new name. Calling themselves Alice n chains without Layne is like pissing on his grave. Layne Staley is aic.
@@amd1273it’s about the money, the majority of the fanbase is loyal to the bands name itself, if they changed names they would lose out on huge amount of money and fans coming back for nostalgia purposes, if it’s a different name the fans have to accept that it’s not the same, when it’s same name they can live in denial and pretend it’s the same band . Like we’re talking a difference of hundreds of thousands of fans coming back on whether they use original name or not. Same thing happened with Pantera, as much as the tribute was well done and showed respect it’s not the same without the abbot brothers. It’s just hard to tell if they are doing it for the actual legacy and tribute or for a quick money grab, it was tough for me to decide to go see Pantera tribute cuz I’m younger and never saw the original but knew that the abbots were essential to the band and that it could possibly be a money grab but it honestly did feel like they wanted to continue their legacy out of respect, it’s a very iffy subject but it comes down to money at the end and the “legacy” part could be genuine or just a front to get away with it
When Bon Scott died people thought AC/DC was finished until they went out and got Brian Johnson (whom Bon Scott recommended) and the rest is history!
God damnit…you’re right!
Yeah and Brian is absolutely zero comparison to Bon.
@@glue7225You might be right. The point I'm trying to make is that AC/DC continued being a succesful band.
People need to accept the fact that Chester is gone, and these guys need to move on with their music. They shouldn’t have their careers punished due to a singer passing, Chester would want them to move on. No one can replace him, and Mike has gone on record saying they dont want to…but they do want to keep going and gain momentum working on new material. They have every right to do so. RIP Chester.
I could NOT agree more! No one can replace Chester but everyone needs to move forward in life. These guys are still young & have plenty to keep it going. Get Austin Carlisle out of retirement 💞🤘
I couldn't agree more as well! There's a group of super talented guys that basically been sitting idle for years and I would rather have new music going forward with a new front man and still have those recordings from Chester as well. He's unfortunately not coming back and it'd be better IMO to keep going in whatever capacity they're able. 💙👊🏼
But his spirit lives on.
@@lishamarlar4597 ALWAYS
Yea move on by starting a new band, why do they have to use the name of the band that is missing their most essential member? Oh yea that’s right money…. They wouldn’t get a tenth of fans if they started a new band because they know Chester is what made them
For some reason people seem to think Chester would care if they did this, he loved his band and he loved music. He wouldnt want his best friends to suffer because of his death. Linkin Park isnt one member, its everyone.
Suffer in what sense? I can bet they don’t have to lift a finger and will be well off in financial sense. Creatively? Perhaps… but Mike does his own thing and to be honest the rest can find creative output elsewhere as well. They are not in their 20’s. And all have achieved a lot and can live peacefully without bs touring schedules… leaving one hell of a legacy behind.
@@saysthemanbehindthemaskNot suffer physically or financially, but just the image of the band. Suffering as in it could very much be the end of it because of him. We are assuming he wouldn't want that.
Chester Bennington will not be Lost in our memories..like Never..Ever. Chester and Mike's voice are Linkin Park Forever ❤
never came to rockfeed so fast in my life
So did I. 🤘🏻✌🏼😊
Me neither
I know right? My guy fills out that black shirt nicely
I think Chester would want linkin park to keep going. The park fans miss this band so much. Long live chester
Especially if it's a female singer.
Chester wanted to leave LP in reality, so i dont know
@@FrozyArt source: trust me bro
@@darknebula1382 just read the words of the members of grey daze kid
@@FrozyArt i looked it up and found nothing on it kiddo
Didn’t Linkin Park always strive for “new music, new sounds, new innovations anyways?” Then I feel it is up to the band members if they want to continue this Legacy of keeping Linkin Park alive. But of course with a different lead singer and a different purpose. The main thing is that as long as each of the original band members still have a passion to put in the hard work as they did before and that they want to. Musically, each of them are experts in changing their style with having their millions of followers follow - them no matter what- always keeping Chester’s soul with them in their music. I think Mike would love to continue utilizing his creative talents with Chester’s inspiration!! 💜💜
The dude from hybrid theory is legit
Nah...he's not close to Chester
@@CarlosAlvarez-sl4pxListen to the band Red, their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park
He's close enough like Chester's Vocals
@@irmarangel8353 I disagree
It's been almost 10 years since Chester passed - I think it's been long enough that having a new lead singer wouldn't be disrespectful
@theblackhymn 7 yrs he died in 2017 💔
That’s not up to us.
If the band doesn’t want to do it for whatever reason. Then that’s their decision.
Don’t we all know it isn’t going to happen though?
2017
Not even 7 years yet let alone 10 years 😂
The only singer that could even come close, would be the dude from Hybrid Theory.
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
Hard pass on female vocalist.
Jeremy Mckinnon stepped up for a song (A place for my Head) and killed it. I could see him doing it but he has his own band and things going on.
It wont be the same, but they deserve to play the music they love
I cant watch these guys without Chester. His emotions were LP. No one can get to that level w this band and be that genuine. It's done. It's like removing James Hetfield from Metallica and trying to replace him. ... ya can't.
Theres that guy from a Linkin Park tribute band in Europe that sounds exactly like Chester, I would be open to what Static X did.
Hybrid Theory from Portugal.
He def doesn't sound "exactly like Chester", but he trying real hard to emulate Chester and some effects here and there to help
Edsel dope was perfect for static x hopefully linkin park can do the same im turned off by rumors of a female singer it wo😢make them unable to play their classic best music
Static X is such a good example. I expected so little and some new songs are among my favourites
i think they should try someone who doesn't sound like Chester that way they deffo arnt trying to fill his space if that makes sense, Chester was the linkin park i knew and love, i want to see them move forward and progress and a differant sounding vocalist is a great idea i feel.
With out Chester, Linkin Park will never be Linkin Park, New Singer or not , there will be no one who will take Chester place
Okay Captain Obvious
And Mike has already said that same thing and that they don't want to get someone that will take Chester's place.
They need to get Linkin Parks cover band “hybrid theory” singer he sings exactly like Chester
Mike doesn't want to replace him with someone who sounds like chester because it feels creepy to replace him with a sound-alike
Mike said he doesnt want a singer that sounds like Chester. Because noone is on the same level, he feels
Getting a singer who sounds just like Chester would be REPLACING him.. I think it would be disrespectful for Chester and the new singer... But getting a different voice would be nice because they would still be embracing Chester, while Linking Park starts a new chapter and their legacy keeps going on... Remember the band is Linking Park.. Not Chester and The others... Anyways, it would be cool to see what they can do because all of them are amazing!!
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
Chester was there for hybrid theory
It is the singer from the tribute band Hybrid Theory!!!!!
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
I’m one of those lp fans that went in to the lp lore rabbit hole and I didn’t find my way back, a new album and tore would be insane, I.can’t even imagine what the album would sound like, but I’m guessing Mike will rap insanely good
Your content and presentation is better than most mainstream media these days bro. Keep it up.
Bring it on ,new LP,Chester will never be forgotten.big love always.
IMO, it's not about REPLACING Chester(NO ONE will ever sound like him, similar perhaps). I've been a fan since the Hybrid Theory days. It's not moving on it's moving forward. There is SO MUCH talent there for them all to just sit on the hands for all of eternity. I still miss Chester every single day still. Let them find their magic again with someone as equally amazing. Rock on everyone. Again, these are my thoughts,🤘💞
There is only one singer who could do it and it’s Ivo from Hybrid Theory tribute band. You don’t need just a good voice. You also need to be able to sing and scream during a whole show. He also has a similar voice. I highly recommend people to listen to them.
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
So, this Jay guy is from Orgy. And past member of Orgy was Ryan Schuck. Ryan was a best friend of Chester. Which makes me think maybe he did hear this.
Great content 👍🏾😀! I'm willing to keep my mind open to all possibilities. those early albums will never be duplicated though
I honestly don't want someone to replace Chester, I mean no one really can but... It's Linkin Park's decision at the end of the day. If they want a new frontman then that's a decision I'll respect
Linkin Park has made so many changes in their history, losing Chester is tragic, but absolutely not a death knell for the project he started so many years ago. Linkin Park is prolific, even if you only like one era of their progression, you like something.
Yes
Please come back
Na not with a female singer yep I said it
This would be great! I used to play their Touring Chefs bar alot. He has alot of love for all them. They deserve to further their careers.
Jay did a remix for them all the way back on the Reanimation... he's a cool dude but yes, it sounds like damage control and he wasn't supposed to let that out.
Chances are, they're pissed because it's supposed to be some big reveal down the road when they have something ready to drop.
I just can't see this happening. Chester had that voice no one can duplicate. I would love to see it happen. I saw them on their "Hybrid Theory" tour way back when. They blew my arse away.
I don't think that is their intention at all and sure, not exactly duplicate but some people can get pretty darn close. for example, marc martel basically sounds like a freddie mercury doppelganger. people cover elvis in an excellent way as well.
There are always thousands of people that can sing the same and hit all those notes. You are speaking from an emotional, not reasonable state.
@@aleksandarradovanovic8496 yeah, but then ther's vocal timbre. And Chester had a damn unique timbre, which makes it really hard to replicate
@aleksandarradovanovic8496 just because someone can hit the notes as you say. Yes, there's many people who sound similar to certain artists. Chester wasn't a typical vocalist. He had a very unique voice. Unlike Elvis who dang near anyone can impersonate.
If they do find someone to step up to the 🎤. It'll be about like Alice in Chains. Dude makes them listenable. He sounds close enough to get the job done. But, he is far from equalling the Layne Staley.
It'll be worse with a Linkin Park replacement.
@@billyt9987 that portugeese singer from LP's cover band sounds 90% like Chester. God knows how many more people on this planet sounds close or virtually the same.
This channel is dope!
Chester will forever live on in our hearts but the band wanting to continue to do what they love & perform gor their fans & connecting with people cant blame them for that. Lots of iconic bands continue to push forward through the toughest mental battle of losing a bandmate but the importance of the music connecting with the fans is what matters the most & trying new ideas & exploring their creativity! They've been such a meaningful band to me since i was a kid unfortunately i never got to see them live but would be Really interested to see them get back to what they do best together & do it for themselves & the fans in honor of chester & to continue his legacy🙏💯
If I'm being honest, mike could carry Linkin Park on his own. The man can do everything. I'm a day 1 fan, and would love to see LP move on and create more amazing music.
The same "fans" that slammed OML, will be the same ones that will trash LP for moving on. Can chester ever be replaced? Hell no, of course not! Should they roll over and call it quits? Hell no!
I'm rambling now, but I'm 100% supportive of whatever they decide to do.
I 100% agree with you
They have alot of songs and songs that aren't published to get the AI right of Chester to create a new album. It's another twist. Everyone loved Chester at showd which it wouldn't be the same but AI has improved alot and I'm sure Mike shinoda can figure it out. He is also pretty damn good to.
I am a die hard LP fan dating back since early 2000's and it was heart breaking to lose Chester. Personally, I would rather LP just be laid to rest and Chester's legacy remain untouchable. I do not want LP to reunite with another lead vocalist.....I would feel betrayed and feel as if it's an act of treason. When I hear LP I hear Chester. Period. Alive or posthumous. So while it is not fair, it is how I feel. Chester is LP.
U say as if the other members are just a backup members who just play music with Chester being Linkin park himself. It was a collaborative effort and u shouldn't disrespect their contribution . Don't listen to lp but at least be respectful of the other members who have been a crucial part of lp. Chester is not the Linkin park. They all were.
@@userhjajajaj-pf3ovthe lyrics and the emotions behind them came directly from Chester’s pain. Nobody else can ever replicate that.
@@meganlovesdogs sure they aren't even trying out to replicate. U forgot these guys want to make music without pressure and move on.
Linkin park is them as well. Chester was an integral part but the band was the backbonewhile he was the voice. Give them a break . Even they were affected not just fans which everyone seems to ignore for some reason?!
Dude... Chester is not LP. Chester is Dead by Sunrise. And LP was there way before Chester came. Do not disrespect those guys. They are geniuses.
If they come back, I'm all for it. Mike will know best. Just hope it doesn't turn out like their last studio album, were they went pop.
All of us fans of Linkin Park absolutely miss Chester, but it would be awesome to see the boys of Linkin Park come back. Whomever the choose, male or female, it would be awesome to hear some new Linkin Park. Shout out to Rockfeed for some more great news
Chester cannot be replaced...he had one of those voices like Layne Staley that you can't duplicate!
Who’s layne staley
@jamesiron4010 you're kidding right? Even if you're serious, Google is right there.
@@nicolettaveganthibeault8781 Alice in chains fans are the most insufferable people in the world. The band had like one hit. Stop pretending everyone should know who they are.
The thing is, I understand why people can't fathom LP going forward with a new vocalist, because so much of LP was Chester, but I also think that the other guys have put a lot of time and effort into the band and it's their careers that have been halted because of something that wasn't in their control. They want to make music and tour and enjoy their lives as they once did and I just don't think it's fair on them that one person's death should stop them or change them or turn them into anything less than what they've already created. I know that there will always be people that disagree but you need to ask yourself, when should the mourning end, should Chester's suicide ruin what the band has accomplished, and are you really a fan of the band. I can't wait to see them continue and I look at Chester's time in the band as a beautiful chapter but now it's time to move forward. It wasn't just Chester's band, it was all of their band. They all worked hard, they all put in a lot of time and effort into every aspect of the music. Let them continue peacefully.
So perfectly said!
Thank you for this video, Rock Feed. If this is true, I’ll be happy of the decision Linkin Park will make. We just have to be patient for more information. The band, Orgy, is a good Industrial Rock band. I got into them because Julien-K’s members, Ryan Schuck and Amir Derakh used to be in Orgy. I saw them live for the first time in 2017, and they did a good show. While finishing up their set, they played New Order’s Blue Monday, Jay Gordon was in the crowd, letting others sing, I got the mic, and sing a bit. One of my favorite moments. They are going to play at The Whisky a Go Go late this month, but I won’t go because I made plans. Hope for the best.
I would love for the band to continue doing what they love. Nobody can replace Chester and the old songs will always be his, but I’m all for them continuing to create and moving forward with a new singer, and new music. The band obviously loves and misses their brother and have only ever been respectful to his memory.
I was just thinking this morning about LP having a new vocalist.
Then open CZcams 🤯
Chester can never be replaced but LP should honor him and move to come back.
Honestly very interested to see what they going to do. Its gonna suck to see all the backlash they going to get :/
I don't think they'll get as much backlash as one might think.
@RockFeed hopefully! I'm open minded about it
Very well thought out and put together video. I hope this is true. I would love for LP to continue. No one can replace Chester. This would be more finding a way for the band members to move forward and give something new to the fans and honor Chester.
it would be so cool to have Noah from BO as frontman for LP
Ill believe it when i see it.
The first Female vocalist that came to mind for me was Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf. She is a powerful vocalist and her voice would work very well with Linkin Park.
Amy lee for me also came to mind.
@@DarkCloudVA2 I heard somewhere that early on in Amy Lee's career, efforts were made to essentially turn Evanescence into essentially a Female Linkin Park. But Amy Lee didn't approve, So I think it makes more sense for Lacey Sturm.
I have seen Queen with Adam Lambert twice, and I thought the way they designed their show was excellent. Adam was not trying to be Freddie, but each show had a moment of tribute to Freddie, one song where he appears on the screen with a vocal track. I think something like that could work for LP as well.
Seeing a lot of mentions of the guy from the European tribute band Hybrid Theory. There is also a tribute here in Minnesota USA called Hybrid Theory. Saw them live once a few months ago, and both singers absolutely blew me away with their uncanny ability to pull it all off. Vocals, the looks to an extent, the moves. Sounded amazing!
The opening band was Mad Alice, a tribute to both Mad Season and Alice In Chains, which the singer nailed the vocals of Layne Staley. I literally had chills during both band’s performances.
No one can replace Chester
Agreed. And that's not what they would be trying to do if they returned.
Doesnt mean they wont
Yes, no one is like him, best vocalist from angelic clean vocals to demon gutturals, irreplaceable he is but it'll be a new type of LP instead.
Be cool if Amy Lee
Well, no-one could replace Bon Scott either who was as unique as Chester in terms of his place as a frontman. Give them a chance to keep going. We only get one shot at this life as we are all acutely aware. The time is short, the time is now. To all fans, support the guys to play live and make new music for themselves and everyone else
Jay Gordon from Orgy made this statement but also said not to quote him.
I am ready for some live Linkin Park music!!! If someone steps in they know what Chester was to everybody and the expectations.
We will always mourn Chester. New vocalist, need a new band name for one. mmm, the allure of LP (to me) is the chemistry between Chester and Mike, and undoubtebly their vocals. Chester's were phenomenal! Mike and Chester are a dream team incarnate. I would love to see LP, but I'm not sure I'd like to see Chester replaced. Would be weird. I guess we'll see... But, in the meantime, I will always wish the best to Mike and the band. Their talents shouldn't be left behind and not go on.
Oli from BMTH,Sam from Architects and Spencer from Periphery or Underoath would make for great replacements
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
Omg I was really struggling to think of who ide pick, but Oli would be amazing
i read an article, linked on a facebook post recently, which basically was just a summary of a Mike Shinoda interview, from when Hunting Party came out, where Mike was asked if he ever would do a collap with Eminem, and he answered that he was open to the idea. honestly, Linkin Park could go back to their nu-metal roots and do an entire album with Eminem, and then they could continue to collab with other major artists within hip hop and metal for future projects. this way they could go back to their roots, but with a new and moderen take, don't know if that is even likely now, let alone with Linkin Park, if it happens i'll expect it to be Mike and Eminem's own project if it ever happened.
Thanks again Brian ❤
That is so many dufuqs right there 😂
This might be controversial,but you all need to accept that Chester is gone, let the band do a new things to leave the past, they shouldn't get punished for their singer passing away
No I completely agree I feel like a few people (aka Brad) probably wouldn't want to continue
Let the band name rest. Create a new named band, but leave the LP legacy alone.
I know, i know Chester is not here and it's time for the band to reunited, but i can't imagine LP with out him, too much memories there with Chester's voice, even these days that he is not with us, still i hear his voice, that's why i can't accept it honestly my heart won't, maybe if they start with new band name that would be ok but LP is a legacy of King Chester❤R.I.P legend
The timing for an LP return feels right. Lost, alongside Meteora20, was a major success last year. Also, with this month's Papercuts singles collection/greatest hits release, it feels like a formal conclusion to the reminiscing era of the group. Papercuts feels like the perfect launchpad for LP to start making new music.
Agreed.
Its been 7 years. No one can replace chester, But that doesnt mean they shouldnt continue onward.
LP will always respect Chester ... he will never be forgotten.
Saying that the rest of the band still wants to make music let's support them 1000%
I'm fine with it. It worked for Pantera. Why not LP. Danny from Hollywood undead would be a great replacement
Yeah but I don't think he's gonna leave HU for Linkin Park
Danny is probably close as we’re gonna get to sounding almost like Chester
Wdym worked? Pantera still is amazing cuz it’s Pantera but it’s nowhere near what it was in the past, same with Alice In Chains, they still sound good but they are shells of their former selves
please no... i have seen them (HU) multiple times and they are using too much playback during live shows
Pantera is not making new music.They are touring as a tribute, plus Phil is still singing..Totally Different
I think EVERYONE is ready for this now!! 🎉
If Linkin Park does come back I hope they have that old hard Metal sound and rap they used to have and the new singer I hope he or she sounds Amazing.
Nobody Can And Will Ever Replace Chester, But If I Had My Choice The Lead Singer From Ashes To New Would Be A Perfect Fit. ❤
The ORIGINAL from FATN. Chris Musser. Don’t get me wrong Danny Case is great, I just wanna hear Chris Mussers voice again, so unique and powerful.
Honestly, From Ashes to New already has a very similar sound to Linken Park, so it would be a good fit
Its been said, if anyone would sing Chesters vocals, it'd be the singer of Sum 41.
I second this
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
I find this hard to believe. But I would pay for it to be true.
I would love to see them work with Bonnie from Stand Atlantic more after seeing her perform Bleed It Out with Mike.
As a Linkin Park fan my whole life I miss Chester and I miss the rest of the band. I’m ever hopeful to see how their story continues!
I'm too excited🔥🔥
It could just be for a project, not a totally new member.
They have to look at the singer on their cover band hybrid theory from Portugal. He's perfect for the job
Yesssss
Me and my Older brother have said for a couple years now that if Linkin Park ever returned we'd want them to come back with a Woman because then you don't need to worry about bringing in a dude trying to mimic Chester a Girl would bring something different which I think is good to separate themselves from before and stomp out the fears some have of him being 'replaced' plus many bands continue on with new Singers and it doesn't feel disrespectful
I think finding another singer would be a good idea. We all know Chester was the soul of the band but Linkin Park isn’t just him. It wouldn’t be fair to them not being allowed to move on. I feel like a female singer wouldn’t be the best opinion, it wouldn’t feel like Linkin Park and it would be difficult to fit in some songs. With that being said I think the best opition would definitely be the lead singer from hybrid Theory tribute band. Yes he has a similar voice but it’s not just about that. He is very consistent, he can sing and scream unbelievably well during an entire show. I recommend Linkin Park fans to watch their show on CZcams. hybrid theory live at Altice Arena 2023. That video shows exactly why he would be the perfect choice. Some people will say that being similar is not good even physically, but that show for me shows everything. And don’t forget people will criticize weather it’s a very different singer or a singer who sounds close to Chester.
A lot of fans are gonna whine and complain that you can’t do LINKIN PARK without Chester Bennington, but I honestly think it’s ok they waited a long time after his passing so it’s not disrespectful in any way shape or form and I think Chester wouldn’t want the band to just quit he would want them to continue with or without him to keep the music, the band’s legacy, his legacy alive.
Yes
I don`t man, even if this is just a rumor you can`t replace the singer of the band. You can replace a drummer, a guitarrist, a bassist but the singer is the most important thing in the band. Chester can`t be replaced not matter how good the new guy could be.
If it is true, then I’m happy for them. The band deserve this. Chester would not doubt be happy to see LP keep doing what they love and his legacy will never be forgotten
I think it would be very interesting for them to have a female vocalist
Unless it's my mom, i disagree
You are kidding right?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Fuck no
If this is just a money grab than It will probably be a female pop vocalist, theirs a huge audience of younger kids who would get exposed to the band and they would make tons of money, kids don’t listen to metal anymore, just rap and pop
Most of us would be really happy if Mike Shinoda himself stepped up as the lead singer
i don't think so. mike can't sing linkin park songs
@@metalmike6668that’s just false
He’s proved from his solo career that he can’t belt out a chorus like Chester, there needs to be a second vocalist to complete the dynamic
@@dngrouscrgo exactly. people seem to forget that linkin park was also a metal band. not just mainstream radio rock and pop
@@michaeldrake98 okay send me a video of mike screaming and then send me a video of mike singing one step closer and by myself without chester since this is false
I'm not gonna lie. I love the idea of a female lead for Linkin Park. It would be like Evanescence, but with Linkin Parks style.
Crazy thought 🤯⚡️
why not? I mean dammit I will always be kicked right in the guts thinking about what could have been if Chester wasn't gone but to be fair, those other guys in the group were ALL magic. They certainly deserve to continue working their passion project. As much as I LOVE Chester's voice I think maybe a female can do him justice, never as a replacement but a legacy promotor
We need a new singer who won't be trying to imitate chester. Rather have someone who will sing genuinely with their own style.
Then when fans want to hear classic songs on tour, they will fall short. You need a BLEND.
Listen to the band Red (songs: already over, fight inside, pieces) , their music and their singer are very similar to Linkin Park.
I would love to see LP to have a new vox that is not singing on other band. A complete stranger that brings new life to the band and can still play chester's part on his/her own version. That would be cool.
Reminds me of a band called skid row, whose singer left the band over 30 years ago. People are still mad even though it's been longer with newer singers.. move forward in life . Don't get stuck in a moment that holds you back..
Or my grandma got remarried after my grampa passed away, she was married 20 years after my grampa passed away.. still people in family was mad because she was supposed to be lonely for rest of life .
Lots of reasons to move forward in life, not many to live in the past.. ( well enjoy the music of past but look forward to new Lincoln Park)
The band is over. Nirvana never continued without Kurt
But that was because Kurt was like the phase and leader of Nirvana. It's not really the same with Chester as much as I love him
Led zeppelin never continued without John Bonham
Static-X continued even after Wayne's passing.
@@J.PC.Designs and slipknot continued after paul died
Motörhead never continued without Lenny
Let's not forget LP is not just Chester there are other members of the band that are still alive, they also contributed alot to LP and let's not forget them aswell. It's time to move on with a new singer. RIP Chester🙏🕊
Such a huge moment for women in rock if they do
He shouldn’t be replaced. Those words and lyrics were Chester. His feelings and passions behind those songs can’t be duplicated. They are not just songs but they were Chester’s emotions. You just can’t replace that. Another vocalist can’t replicate Chester’s emotions behind them… nor his voice 😢 I was fortunate to see them live. I wouldn’t go if there was a new vocalist. I wouldn’t mind a hologram..although unpopular… it would still be Chester and it would give people a chance to see his magic in the best way possible ❤
They’re not replacing Chester, they’re replacing his position.
A lot of the words on the first album were not Chester’s, people forget that Chester himself was a replacement for their original vocalist. LP existed as a band before Chester and have every right to continue doing so without him
Linkin Park lyrics penned mostly by Mike though
New singer/line up?, awesome i can wait
Interested in this.
I think they can just keep making music with mike as the only vocalist.
Maybe live shows would be difficult when playing old songs but he's a good singer. I would love new material from them.
That doesn’t make sense. Linkin Park are all about having a rapper and a lead singer. Without that a comeback doesn’t make sense
that's your opinion and I respect it but I disagree.@@SS-yc9nu
Nah, they better not get a female vocalist. I'm not thrilled about that if it were true. Criticize me all you want IDGAF. Just no, it will change the sound and dynamic way too much.
Disagree tbh. I think going with a female vocalist is an amazing idea! Another male vocalist would just be like someone trying to replace Chester in my mind. But a female vocalist would be something totally different which would actually make it easier for me to accept. Remains to be seen how it actually sounds of course, but I'm all for it. No criticism to you, your opinion just as valid as mine.
They should continue with mike as the frontman going foreward and use a backing track with chesters voice for live shows, id want them to have something great to release before announcing theyre back together so they can show theyre moving foreward and have more stuff to play live without chesters voice being required as much in the future, they shouldnt completely phase him out but they have to move foreward as shinodas linkin park
Bonnie from Stand Atlantic just posted on her story bout joining LP 👀 rumour basically confirmed? I'm all for it
Sebastian Bach is top choice
I think Derek from Sum 41 would be a good fit and sum 41 is breaking up so he won't be stuck between 2 different projects
I dunno how I feel about this. On one hand, Chester's voice is such a big part of Linkin Park that it's hard to hear their music without him (and Mike's rapping). But on the other hand, depending on who they get, it could work. I mean, did anyone expect Brian Johnson to do so well replacing Bon Scott?
deryck whibley would be a good fit. He's played with Mike a couple times and if you listen to his acoustic version of Blood In My Eyes, he clearly has the vocal range
He struggles a bit. I mean his voice fits. But he also can’t scream. The perfect choice would be the singer from hybrid theory
