You’re killing it with these reactions. If you wanna catch a real case of the feels, please react to Linkin Parks live performance of One More Light (the jimmy kimmel one). It was performed/recorded the day the world learned of Chris Cornell taking his own life. Chester was very close with Chris and ended up taking his own life a few months later. It’s one of the most emotional performances I have ever seen.
sing like an angel, scream like a demon. Chester will always be a legend. Such powerful vocals, lyrics and he saved a lot of lifes with his words. RIP Chester we miss you
Numb, that song hurt so so much, I think it was one of the first songs I heard where I felt understood by the singer. Made me feel less alone as a teen with severe mental health issues and in crisis constantly.
@@rachelhignett9473 I quoted this song to my counsellor as a way of explaining some feelings because it is so relatable. Hope you are in a better place now;
He is still saving lots of lives for sure. I often wonder how many people still discover his work even now and can relate to it? Chester brought us all here to this reaction vid , together all our job is to keep talking about these issues with compassion, sensitivity and respect. It's great to see so many people bravely sharing personal experiences and hopefully that might help someone else realise that they aren't the only one and are not alone.
One of the greatest moments of my life was meeting linkin park in concert in 2004 in texas and chester was one of the nicest not just person but famous person I ever meet. He took 5 minutes to talk to me and my girlfriend 5 minutes my not seems like a long time but when your someone like him really busy it goes to show you what kind of person he really is. We both grew up in Phoenix and talked about what local bands we listened to from around Phoenix.
So jealous you got to meet him, and pleased for you of course. Examples like yours show how much of a classy man he is and how much true love and respect he shared with his fans. Nothing worse than meeting a famous person / idol and them turning out to be a complete jerk. Used to watch superbike racing and supported Carl Foggarty because he was from my town, literally 5 miles away - would watch races with friends, beer & pizza etc. He arrived at a bar I was in once and I was really excited, wanted to say hello & was even hoping for the chance to offer him a drink on me, but didn't want to get in his face when he'd just walked in the door. The bar was busy anyway with a line for ordering drinks so I queued to get drinks for my friends and myself. As I was about to be served by the bartender I noticed Carl again, trying to shoulder in the line in front of me and pushing at me with his elbow. I was shocked, all I could say was "excuse me?" at which point he turned to face me full on and said "don't you know who I am?"
Been a LP fan since the very first song. The lyrics hit me hard back then bc I was going thru the exact same things that were wrote about in their songs. But listening to them now, they hit different, knowing he's no longer on this earth. I lost a piece of my heart when Chester died 💔
Finally, a reaction that pays close attention to the lyrics. It seems most reaction videos they don't pay close attention to lyrics, and break it down like you do. Loved this video
It sucked for us hardcore fans who grew up with them, listened for hours to albums, going to concerts, got to reach out to him on social media and likes my comments, and I just see that my daughter grew up loving them and their songs so much the first and last time she got to see them live was when she was 12 years old. (20 now) Went to go to another show and he broke his ankle then. Then the awful news broke. It has taken years for my daughter and I to listen to and watch the videos without breaking down. Thank you for being a younger generation carrying it forward. Never let him be forgotten. Thank you.
That's why he gave 200% with every performance because of the demons and everything he was going through in his head, he wanted it gone and there was nothing he could do about it, that's what I love about his emotional performances
I'm in my worst fit of depression I've been in 10 years; s siding is constantly nagging me every day. Loneliness, isolated, hopefuless, no one that's genuine to talk to who won't gaslight; discouraged, and bitter. I listen to songs like this to force myself to let it put because i can't contain and repress my emotions indefinitely. Can't thsnk him enough for his music. Feel so connected abd im sure many have held on because of him. R.i.p chester.
Saw them live with fucking DEFTONES, LIMP BIZKIT, MUDVAYNE and fucking METALLICA as the headliner. Literally in my top 3 shows I ever went to. Was the Summer Sanitarium 2003 tour. Absolutely fucking insane show. Soooooo glad I got to see this legend in his prime.
There are thousands of incredible, iconic songs out there, but there are precious few songs where a performer just lays down absolute mastery of their art. Things like this, or Rap God, or Haake's drums on Bleed, they're one of a kind.
I found this song after a broken relationship(canceled wedding planes), just in the hardest moment and this song helped me to take out all and keep going. Thank you so much Chester, I owe you too much...
The most amazing voices in music with the most relatable songs that hit you in the feels, tend to be the most tortured souls. It's hard to write a song about pain that is relatable if you haven't experienced it. I'd suggest My December from LP as another one and also Machine Head for a few songs too, Descend The Shades of Night and The Burning Red. Avenged 7 Fold have a few hit you in the feels songs like Dear God and So Far Away (which holds a personal significance because of the subject matter) Hope you're keeping well and your allergies have calmed down. Enjoy your week.
✨You just have to appreciate the incredible music the way he intended. Also remember that the entire bad wrote all their songs and Mike Shinoda wrote a lot. It’s always good to look up what the song represents to the band if your going to analyze a song. It can mean meant things to different people. These songs can be super cathartic to too those in pain. Please just try to enjoy and appreciate their work. And PLEASE DONT STOP THE SONGS SO MUCH!!! You completely loose the flow. Honor his memory by appreciating the beautiful and sometimes painful life!!!✨
Dude, listen to "leave out all the rest" and THEN tell me...listen to all of Linkin Park, he has been feeling this way for decades. Trying to make people feel better about any of us feeling that angry, yet, he had the strength to bleed for us all over the lyrical sheets, for humanity. RIP Chester.
*Yep...was 2017. July 20th 2022 he will be five years gone. He was sexually abused from age 7 to 13 yrs by an older male. There was more attributing to his depression of course. Nearly 500,000 reports of child sex abuse "are reported" each year in the U.S. and you know more go unreported....and yet this is not the priority in this country at the moment!?!?!?! I wish you could do another of the same song and react to the "Live - in Clarkston" video. Or at least watch it for yourself. He's really expressive in the live performance.*
The fact he could reproduce this live is a testament to his unrivalled talent. The live version from Milton Keynes is almost unbelievable.. he’s so good.
Chester burned so bright. We all lost when his wounded thinking convinced him that living was worse than the alternative. I celebrate those of us who have gazed into the abyss, yet remain to survive another day. Stay, don’t go. It won’t always be so dark. RIP Chester🙏🏼
I always wonder about that. Maybe in some cases living just IS worse. And yeah your right not every day will be the darkest one but, is a sad and painful living really preferable? I always wonder at what point one can say: "I suffered enough, I'm just tired of it!" Without being judged for it in the end...
I feel you on this. I've had my own struggles with the abyss for the last 22 years. I fight it harder now being a single mum, but the abyss also feels closer at the same time. But I can't hear into the abyss for the sake of my preschool son
That whole situation was so tragic. Chester and Chris Cornell both struggled with depression. They were very close. Chester was even the godfather to Chris' son. Chris took his own life, also by hanging. Chester sang at his funeral. Then, 2 months later Chester took his life on Chris' birthday.
Never be scared to listen to a linkin park song, I feel like it be privilege and a honour to listen to such a fantastic masterpiece and Chester long scream is still as wow as ever 🖤🤘 RIP Chester Bennington
you should definitely listen to more, chesters lyrics have so much to look into and the best way to remember him is to look at the legacy he left through his music.
I met him at a show they played in Nashville when I was working as stagehand. You never would have known seeing him be super humble, incredibly nice to EVERYONE and just running around acting like a kid living his dream that he had such severe depression. And yeah listening to this song after the fact you realize that this was kind of like his cry for help.
There is a somg called "easier to run" release in 2003. The song is an absolute masterpeace and its so dark for the band that they just played it live once after the album I think that would be great if you react to the song you are great
This song seemed (like most of them) seemed so much more emotional and personal for Chester after 2017 for obvious reasons. I convinced myself that it was about what happened to him in his childhood, but then I read several times that Mike was more involved than Chester writing the lyrics. Is it darker than My December or One More Light?
@@matty_mcmattface i know nothing abou my december but in one more light chester is shouting that i care about people while in easier to run he wanna run away from all of his pain that he is feeling. one thing more is that i think chester wrote the song easier to run alone and he was really in a bad place while he wrote that song. I think they just played the song once or i couldn't find any other live
This is probably my favorite linkin park song. Especially that scream that Chester does is extremely hard to do. I get goosebumps every time I hear this song🔥
You should look up the band In The End. They're a Linkin Park tribute band and most of their proceeds go to a mental health charity! They're based in California. Super awesome guys keeping the Linkin Park love alive!!!
Yes! This is one of my favorite songs off of "Minutes To Midnight". So brutal, Chester's coarse vocals and raw aggression are amazing... Rest in Peace, Chester... A lot of people miss your music back here, you know?
You should react to Mike Shinoda's post traumatic album, he was the producer, bassist, guitarist and wrote a majority of linkin parks songs. He turned his grief into the most raw emotional album you will probably ever hear.
Studio version is amazing, Chester was so talented with a voice of an angel and a scream from the devil himself. The AOL SESSIONS LIVE version of this song will blow your mind I know what you mean, listening to Linkin Park now is tough, cuz the lyrics hit different and you realize how some of these songs were literally his cries for help. Regardless man, ROCK OUT, cuz that’s what we must do now, to celebrate Chester Bennington.. 🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻 #RIPCHESTER #LP #GONE2SOON
What you said about how it's different to listen to this song now, is exactly how i feel too. I love how you think about stuff like this, many people don't think much about these things, when they react or just listen to a song.
Rest in Beautiful Peace Chester; Love and strength to the Bennington family who continue to raise support for mental health awareness, suicide prevention, substance misuse issues etc. Anyone who hasn't already should check out the brilliant work his wife Talinda and son Jaime are doing;
The best thing is that Chester did this 17/18 second scream also a few times live, like by the AOL Music Session ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yIcx1fCsHXg.html
I'm not a Linkin Park fan, they're just not my thing. I wanted to hear this song because of the 17 second scream. I've watched many reactions to this song and most of them, just....how can you...the universal you....hear this song, knowing Chester hung himself, hear these lyrics wherein he's saying things like "put me out of my misery" and you're smiling and rocking out to that. This is one of the very few reactions I've seen where the reactor was not smiling and rocking out to that.
Hell yes, we've finally reacted to Linkin Park song on the channel, but still let's never forget what Chester made what the 2000's was and it swept the industry. RIP
hell yeah man. respect to you. react to their song by myself live in texas. it’s HEAVY. also, with you live from that show and points of authority life ft JAY Z
Could you please react to the song called Cry to Yourself by DJ Lethal feat. Chester Bennington? It can be found on the RU-vid channel called Linkin Park Live Archive.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
A lot of his lyrics are super dark, and I for one have used them to vent emotions, so they aren’t bottled up inside. But yes, this one hits hard and hits home. I have a music playlist that I call Anger Management, which has this song on it, which allows me to rant and rave and let it out.
The hardest part is relating to this song and admiring Chester, he is your idol, role model, someone you look up to, someone who changed your life with music, seeing him at his happy moments and you hoped he was fine because you think “if he can get through it, so can i”. And then he takes his life and you’re lost, you’re heartbroken, someone you genuinely cared about is gone. And the only thing you can do is reminisce in their music and videos, trying not to cry at just the sound of his amazing voice, fighting the urge to end it as well. He made such a big impact on millions of people and he’ll be missed forever. Rip Chester ❤️
Linkin Park are the reason I am who I am, I have Hybrid Theory to thank for planting the seed in my mind that would turn me into a metalhead! You need to dive into all the LP you haven't heard, honestly. They have so much good music that wasn't just the well known singles.
This song is really telling now. If you can handle more like this give a listen to the day I tried to live by soundgarden. Same kind of situation. Great song. Deeper meaning since Cornell took his own life.
I grew up with Hybrid Theory. I saw LP at 2001 Ozzfest. I knew, 20 years ago what this man was screaming about. I'm disgusted by anyone that has the nerve to be surprised by what happened. I regret his loss. I'm still fucking sad.
I've been a LINKIN PARK uber fan since Hybrid Theory. I promise, I'm not a cockwomble, I'm being sincere Chester Bennington would tell you to knock that shit off. :) He valued his fans more than most bands do. He'd tell you to enjoy it, rock out, lip sync or scream it in your car. Also, if anyone missed RED2, watch it.even if it's the scene w/ the song! You're allowed to enjoy it so please don't feel guilt. That's not the response he'd want I'm actually in the very same boat Chester was in, so I wanted to hear Given Up. Something told me to use RU-vid instead of my iTunes. I don't know how I landed here, but thank you. It doesn't stop the want, but I cracked a smile & took my mind off things. Sincerely, thank you
Sad story we miss him so much...If you could react to "One more light " from LP it could be rly nice! and the video clip is awsome thanks! take care! and RIP Chester.B we love you man🖤
Glad I found this reaction. Was good to hear you comment how it would hit differently now. I definitely feel a bit different listening to some of their songs these days. Same subject matter, but far more confronting if you watch the clip, try Disturbed 'Inside The Fire'. David lost a close friend and wrote a song about it. It comes with a personal message from David at the start telling people to get help and provides a helpline (for the US I'm assuming). At the beginning of the clip it is very confronting, but is a very good song as well. I wouldn't watch it if it might trigger something though.
Chester was a legend and voice lives on. He died on the birthday of his great friend and other legend Chris Cornell only a few months after we lost him. Two voices that saved soo many of us and we couldn’t save them! RIP
You should check out the live aol session. He actually does that 17 second scream live there and in some other live concerts. There's a video with the links to where in yt. Also please react to pushing me away and by myself live in texas.
oh wow. So refreshing to see a authentic and honest reaction. I hate the shallow shit that reactions usually are. + you really seem to be a likeable person too. ;-) Keep it up.
Those who loved the band from the start one Chester had depression and that the music was his expression of his battle. But no one knew just how severe it was until he passed.
what i think most people forgett is if you first hear that as it comes out u cant sing something like that without feeling it in some way even it have this power vibe that makes u dont notice the lyrics in the first place if this would be like a chill song it would hit different even back then
