I really appreciate how the doc ended. Instead of a sad remembrance of how he died, it was more of an upbeat celebration of who he was and what the band meant to everyone.
I still remember the first song I have ever heard from linkin Park is numb and from that day it was my one of the favourites song of this band when I was in 6 7 class and after his death we came to know one more light is a song he wrote for himself and numb was the favourite song of my then girlfriend too
Jesus Christ that hits so hard I’m literally crying right now I got to see them in 2011 and I don’t have the words to describe how much that gig meant to me and I can’t thank my parents enough for that opportunity I stopped listening to them after the passing of Chester’s because I found it so hard to listen to but with the new song that Emily Armstrong did it have brought my deep found love for that band back as I have been listing to them since they formed I’m now 29 and still love them all I can say is THANK YOU 🙏 for all that happy memories pasted and present ❤❤❤❤❤❤
He was really, truly, deeply depressed. He needed someone to tell him that it's not his fault. He had the urge to get out, run away from the memories, and punish himself through that journey he thought he must take. It was all just too much for him to bear. He helped me through alcoholism. He helped millions. God may have mercy on his soul 🙏 😢
Or maybe there is something else at Plat here. His choice in hats is possibly a interesting clue. Funny how these lines of depression/ drugs is always used and everyone laps it up!
There is such a deep rooted sense of dark shame that stays within the depths of our being. If only it was that easy to hear it was never our fault… Abuse changes the way your brain grows, neurons changed forever. The album with “Numb” helped me get sober. Sober to this day I miss him
When the news first broke out that he had left this earth, I couldn’t bare it. I sped home so fast, closed all the blinds in the house to be in darkness and sobbed uncontrollably while watching their music videos. And then while listening to “Leave out All the Rest” I couldn’t help but to feel peace hearing his message through that song .. “when my times come forget the wrong that I’ve done, help me leave behind some, reasons to be missed..” Thank you Chester for leaving me a million reasons to miss you! His words have carried me throughout adolescence to adult life trials and tribulations. ❤ I love YOU!
It's sad huh ? I live in ct. And was wait8ng to see him at mohegan sun casino but he died 2 days before which sucked and I broke down real bad at cas8no and weeks straight its so sad he's gone
he sung like a angel he screamed like demon his songs were godly his voice was mythical we love you we miss you we miss you and we will never forget you🥲
Depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain. Many things can cause this, its usually from the brain getting damaged from like may concussions, which is why its common amongst people in heavy contact sports and brain damage from excessive drug use. When a lot of these rock stars pass, the autopsy says that there was no drugs in their system, but the damage is already done
I respectfully disagree. Depression can happen to anyone. People who are sober, drug users, chemical imbalances in the brain, trauma, etc. That's what makes it so horrifying.
@@jaxons3195 you are talking in personal opinion, im talking about facts. Suicide generally comes from depression, depression usually comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is technically a form of brain damage, which is sometimes caused by excessive drug addiction. Im not saying its always this way but i assure you it does often happen this way.
As a guy that was fortunate enough to meet and know Chester I can without a doubt say that I loved that man. He was a beautiful human being. Rest easy brother
Fortunate enough ? Lots of laughs. You did not need to be fortunate to know Chester. You only needed to have a heart, and things that were close to him. Make the difference.
A person who has true depression will try their hardest to make the people around them happy because they don't want to see someone suffer like they are suffering. I do the same thing and unless you truly know me. You will never know I am fighting my depression.
My phone keeps on deleting my long ass comment before I can finish typing it and just like everything else I just don't have the energy or motivation to even try it again
Dealing with depression, which is a fighting battle. What chester says is very true. One wrong negative comment, no matter how well things are going, can affect your thoughts. Also, being in yourself instead of out of yourself. He says he does it to himself, and I really understand stand what he is saying. I have never been able to put into words.
The sucky part is, I had bought tickets for their show here in Michigan for my wife and I who have been huge Linkin Park fans, and it was going to be our first time seeing them live. I got an email saying our tickets had been refunded and I looked online only to see that Chester had passed. I cried so hard. We love you Chester!!!!!!!
I was born and live in Russia. One day it became so hard for me that I decided to cross a railway crossing while the train was moving, but my favourite LP songs from the Meteora album started playing in my headphones. I didn't want to leave this world without listening to my favourite songs. And they sucked me in so much that at that moment I didn't notice that I had listened to the whole album, sitting in the next yard from the passing train. I believe that Chester is my guardian angel. Thank you for everything. I will never give up on you. Love you ❤🩹
I had the great fortune of experiencing Linkin Park when they came to Ireland during their minutes to midnight tour. It was filled with so much vibrancy and life. To this day it is only one of two concerts I've ever gone to.
That's amazing! What a great time to have seen them as well. I saw them in 2009 in Manchester, and had a similar experience. The show was just electric from start to finish.
Respect from Ireland, I loved LP since I was 8 and didn't go that day to do a competition, turned out to be one of the highlights of my life, but yet part of me will always regret not seeing my favourite band
The editing on this is really good, one of the best Chester Bennington documentary I’ve seen on yt been listening to linkin park for 18 years and he’s still always in my mind ty for this vid
This should be a movie! Like honestly a movie about Chester but also how all Linkin Park was made through the struggles, commitment and one main goal! ❤
When I heard that Chris Cornell had passed, I was so, so sad and crying for months. Then when they announced that Chester passed, well, lets just say I never really got over it.
I've watched loads of " Chester", in various different interviews, And what I have seen they are All the Same ...I Suffer from Mental anxiety and Depression, I'm Great full of Him... I'd Never Heard of Linkin Park.... Until I Heard "Numb" and that song Just was Everything I Felt Growing up...I found this track by mistake on U.Tube one night, I was Seriously thinking about Ending My Life, But Hearing More from L/P , Made Such a difference in my life....I Could relate on many levels, He is Such a Beautiful Man, When he lost his Best friend, Chris Cornel, Who Had Suffered the Abuse Also... I really feel they connected in many different levels...I Don't think Cheser could ever get over the loss of his amazing Friend.... I know L/P Continue to day, But it Will Never be the same Again.... They Just Seem to keep bringing out Old Songs from a long time ago...re-making them new again....I Will Always be A Massive fan of the Legend who Was "Chester Bennington"....by the way I'm 57yrs old, And My 🐈 Cat is called"CHESTER and when I get another 🐈 cat he will be called "Bennington"... I maybe old but I'm living the Dream With Old Linkin park, you can't Not Feel the Passion and Love...And I feel Blessed by His Music and the Person who Was the Greatest, Mr Chester Bennington... You Really Did Bring Me Back to LIFE... Thankyou So Much...🙏🙏🌹🇬🇧😸😸❤️💯🍒
I will never be able to forget the screams of the housekeeper during the 911 call. I hope she was able to heal from that. No one should be put in a situation like that.
I can relate to Chester so much I feel everything is crumbling around me my marriage, my life. We miss you buddy, I was so fortunate to see you guys in concert four times . I have to get through this with God’s help. 🙏
Chester was in Saw. It was a quick torturing him being super glued to his car seat. He played the role perfectly. We miss you however now you are at peace. Amazing in everything he did. ❤😊
Wishing you the best from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been there. It’s not easy, it’s definitely not pretty. Remember, go easy on yourself. Try to eat, even little snacks here and there even if it’s just a couple bites, and please remember to hydrate!!! These little things helped me more than I thought. You’ve got this! Take it one day at a time friend ❤ much love
Linkin Park have never made a bad album and those fan's who turned on them and started hating them are to stupid and narrow minded to understand them musically.
You are right my friend. I was a massive fan. I done that and started listening to them again a few months ago when cure for the itch played and I finally heard Chester. I then came to find the meaning in many of their other songs. It allowed me to become enlighted. It opened pandora box for me. It is extremely complex when you really understand. I believe Chester lived with Borderline and co morbidities. He tried to tell us in so many ways yet he was never heard. I believe he fulfilled his destiny and sadly his fate. An extraordinary individual ahead of his time. We owe Mike. He never gave up on Chester, when almost everyone else probably did.
I NEVER turned in LP. I just refused to be drawn down into his MISERY. The self loathing just got to be too much. CHESTER WAS WEAK. He had everything he needed to RISR ABOVE what happened to him. His wife & child he so callously left behind. His music & fame and wealth . He had the world by the balls but would rather blame& crucify himself daily and live in the past. I understand depression can be a bitch but it just boggles my mind how someone who had SO MUCH could think he was useless and undeserving of life. RIP.
Do you know what even going on in chester mind? he was sexually abused as a child which music helped him to keep going in life which of course you don't understand mental health, without music he probably wouldn't even be alive in his teens beacuse he was hooked on drugs at the time @@twolak1972
I get everything he is saying. Getting out of himself is the only way; sadly, our Chester is gone. He was such a beautiful soul and the world will always be a lesser place without him.
I will always remember what Chester has acheived. Even though I only was about eleven years old when he died, I had known two of his songs by heart on his death day. The 20th of July 2017 marks a milestone in my life. The music I write sometimes is inspired by punk, which was what Linkin Park partly played. Live long in prosper, Chester💔
Happy birthday to him March 20 ❤ it was devastating to lose him... the people who his music spoke to felt his pain and understood his pain. He gave us hope to push thru and helped so many express feelings they were unable to put into words. I hope his children know how much his music helped people. RIP 🙏 thank you for for always giving me a place for my head 🎶
Over the years listening to LP weather Chester wrote the song or sang them he gave them meaning the way he sang his way into our hearts , the sad thing is the two things he sang of most is what took him fear and pain ....RIP
One of the best bands that will ever be definitely one one of my favorites there's so much meaning to the songs especially in the End Linkin Park Rip Chester😪
well it's so much more obvious to see the signs in his lyrics in retrospect... "keep me in your memories, leave out all the rest," "sometimes goodbye's the only way," "holding on to so much more than I can carry"...
yoooo i never even knew he had long hair!! what a vid thanks for this. chester will live in all of our memories. through music and everything holy shittttt that made me cry man
I'm so sorry music wasn't able to keep you alive. I'm sorry we couldnt help you. Thinking of you today. May you rest in peace. Rest easy you are free of your demons.
I've known Linkin Park since 2002 or 2003 (I was 2 or 3 years old then), I've been a Linkin Park fan since 2012, I have almost all of the albums... unfortunately I never had the chance to see the great guys... I love this band , I love these guys, I love this music! I just love everything about them... I turned 24 almost two months ago and I miss my idol ❤️🙏🏽😔.
At first it probably felt amazing to get it out, but night after night, tour after tour..you BECOME that pain 💔 until it’s unlivable. That pain is you, And it’s inescapable. I can’t imagine performing that pain night after night, year after year. As a victim myself, to go that deep in that torment..how do you heal, how do you separate yourself from that person you were when you were traumatized..broken. It’s heartbreaking 💔
I believe the death of Chris Cornell pushed Chester over the edge. If he was teetering between fighting his demons or succumbing to them, Chris’s death kind of made it ok for Chester to end his own life ( if you understand what I’m trying to say). It’s really sad when depressed people try to inspire other depressed people to believe there’s hope in life and then their own personal demons take over and they think the only way out to stop those dark thoughts is to end it…period. Chester was an amazing musician & artist…his life on Earth was short-lived but he left his legacy behind and people still talk about how much they miss him. So even if he didn’t understand his own worth, there are a lot of us who appreciated his talent.
Chris's suicide in conjunction with the negativity from fans about the change of direction on the new albums. The diehards who criticized negatively LP back then, "helped" Chester in killing himself, and still are the ones who keep doing the same because Mike decided to hire Emily on the lead vocal role....
just like what Kurt went through after his parents was divorced and suddenly you feel lost in life not knowing where your life is heading must be an awful feeling! then him and Chester build music which kept them going letting the anger and pain out in their songs which they have both done remarkably well in their music career. Shame we lost both incredible singers and hope they are both resting up there peacefully.
I am 65 year old mother, grandmother I absolutely love Chester Bennington and Lincoln Park. It breaks my heart that he and Chris Cornell went out this way. Life can be so hard when you give it your all. I will never forget Chester or his music that he and Chris taught us so much. RIP may they now be at eternal peace❤❤
frick- watched this with a heavy knot in my stomach and tears forming; and like EVERY video that includes Chester, i can't finish the video. RIP sweet man!!
The song What I've Done got me through a very difficult time in my life and helped propel me into a better life. Thank you Chester and the rest of Linkin Park.
I started listening Linkin Park after we lost Chester, and I was broken when I found out how he died and the situation he was in. I relate to his situation so much.
Wow this documentary is great! Chester was an incredibly talented singer and songwriter who also seemed like a good guy, so sad he had to battle his deep depression and that he is no longer with us. I was 16 when they released One More light and even though I didn't love it at first it became me and my friend groups anthems for that summer and it gives me chills especially listening to the track One more light. I saw them live only three weeks before he passed(One of their last shows). R.I.P Chester.
Man. When I found out Chester left the world I went numb... I was at the park with my kids and I was on my phone scrolling through Facebook and I seen a post R.I.P Chester Bennington... My first reaction was 😮 I first seen them at OzzFest after their first album came out and I was instantly a fan. Just wish he could have seen there was a better way of handling his depression. Wish he didn't think ending his life was the only was to win over his demons. R.I.P Chester. You will never be forgotten!!
He was our guy..... one the coolest human beings to ever walk the earth... if only he could have heard those words from each of us... to reassure him of what he meant to millions of teenagers and kids from the 90s.... 2000s... linkin park crossed over alot of ppl into rock fans becuz of ability to make the most melodic rhythmic rock songs . His lyrics were soo deep and his voice was perfect for delivering them. They were lightning in a bottle and can never be replicated.... they were peak music quality... you broke our hearts though Chester..... in the end
😢😢😢😢 my poor Chazz, no one has told you that this is not your fault, no one gives you a hand, when you are needed it! No one cares about your trauma from childhood 💔 and no one can't understand your personal pain inside through the screaming
I relate to him SO MUCH! I wonder if he only knew how many people have been greatly affected, in a positive way, by his music, how he would feel about that!
