Linkin Park played after the Q&A Season at the LPU Summit Hamburg an acoustic version of "The Messenger". Bonus: Chester "forgot" the lyrics and the crowd helped him.
@@shellissanctuary7522 I mean it happens. For artists used to play in front of 10s of thousands, intimate shows like this can easily take you out of your comfort zone and cause you to have “brain fart” moments (for lack of better term) especially when the crowd was dead silent at first. Not a knock on him, he was human just like the rest of us. A beautiful and inspirational human
@@RobinDude such a shame. Especially with a song like this. How it connects to what we wanted him to feel when things got tough. But man, to create a song like this about overcoming pain with love, is truly incredible. But God bless the man, his music helped millions through tough times and saved countless lives.
2:18 gives me chills down my spine. Chester forgot the lyrics of this song and the whole crowd was supporting him. Just like he did in his songs for all of us who are struggling with life. Legendary! Fly high angel, you are still not forgotten.❤
For those motherfuckers who bullied him and tortured him - "Now you happy fuckers? You killed a great human being, made his wife a widow and his child a fatherless. Fuck you motherfuckers, I hope you people die like hell, ohh no no no not die, live long enough and I pray that you should be rotten like shit, fuck you!"
Unplugged untouched no auto tune no light show sexy dancers or fancy clothes and makeup just pure unadulterated talent raw and from the soul. We miss you Chester.
I'm the lead singer of my band, where most of us are inspired by Linkin Park. As a Tenor, this song is incredibly hard to do, thats why most of the guys are doing one octave lower. Chester is simply amazing. When I go live on shows, I always imagine he's by my side, channeling his energy through me, to share my music and my message. Lots of love to all of you out there. Let's make Chester proud.
I'm a barritone and sing it 10 semitones lower. Such a simple song, and it still sounds amazing. Lower can also mean more emotional, so I try to play around with that
When you fans sings for/along with you or help you remember your words to your song, you know you achieve something big & your song connected with them. Amazing.
“Those angel voices, they’ll sing to you they’ll be your guid” powerful, now Chester is one of those angel voices that help me through bad and good times in life. Rest in peice, you are dearly missed.
"The Messenger" is the only acoustic song ever written by Linkin Park. The song is very mellow, the guitar is very soothing filled with husky vocals. On February 22, 2011, at a press conference in California, Chester Benington (Linkin Park vocalist) said that this song is for teenagers. He added that teenagers sometimes grow into adults and things can get tough, so finding a home is the only answer for them to live.
It's really hard to hear his voice even after 4 years since he passed away 💔 It's really breaking my heart It's hard to not be sad, I miss him every day 😔
Sweet Jesus take him into your loving arms. He is your angel. Forgive him and love him. Because he gave us. His soul with his voice .So yes, we have recordings and videos to watch of him singing with his beautiful Angelic voice. But also he left us his soul. Rest in peace Chester I love you.
If the god in whom I believe does exist, he would never let Chester die for ever, because he saved a lot of others suffering like him. I am alive because of him and that’s an act of pure love. People who love like Chester can never be unforgivable.
Verica z-I share the same feeling with you and right now I am writing and crying at the same time becouse Chester was someone who changed a great part of my life with his music and way to be as human being unique, and I pray for him as well..Rest In Peace my dear angel I won't forget you ches
@@henrysoza6591 awe Now you're making me cry again it's so true all the pain that that man suffered.. I can't even imagine but I do imagine it.. and that is a problem and when I hear him sing the words and when he screens I literally feel what he feels and I get Flash images of what he went through... I also follow a lot of what his sister said in previous interviews that you won't be able to find in too many places but I have this RU-vid channel that I follow did you know that Chester almost committed suicide with a shotgun at 11 years old this is coming from his sister's mouth I have learned a lot of information. I know too much detail and that is why I understand what he went through... its absolutely Horrible and I do not believe that he took his own life... If you feel like talking to me let me know
@@555goca I totally agree with you, Chester would not want to commit suicide to himself cuz he was so excited about his latest album and working alongside Chris Cornell in the foundation that protects children affected by pedophilia and coincidentally they die the same year...it's completly absurd but, like it or not,he is in a better place.
God is a beautiful God , and although some of the strictest Christians would debate him going to heaven straight away. I , myself a devote Christian believes god took his soul to heaven straight away. The Guy suffered his whole life , and helped those who suffered also . God sees and feels his pain . He is in heaven now, looking down on all the positive things he has helped create . God bless you Chester , I’ll be seeing you again some day ❤️
I was there in the crowd, singing for and with him. We all felt like we helped him a lot with it and that it meant something to him and the others. He even thanked us later and the attendees of this meet and greet knew we witnessed something great immediately.
When you feel you're alone Cut off from this cruel world Your instinct's telling you to run Listen to your heart Those angel voices They'll sing to you They'll be your guide Back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind It keeps us kind When you've suffered enough And your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember you're loved And you always will be This melody will bring you right Back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind
I like how this song is better live than the studio version. Even the guitar strumming is better. Most songs aren't like that. LP is always better live.
I see what you mean, I really don't like the studio version at all for some reason. I feel like it's a bit too harsh for an acoustic song in the studio version
Aww. I really love the studio version. It definitely is a lot more harsh -- but I feel like that's what makes it so magical. It's so -- raw. The emotions are so unhinged and that's what really makes it beautifully stunning, to me.
Sorry but I think you haven't heard this song's studio version....This is a amazing performance by Chester no doubt , but still the studio version is 10 times better..... I first heard the studio version of this song almost 5 years ago.... Still, this song gives me chills, when I listen it now....
I can’t forget his voice. He’s unique no one can ever sing songs like he did. His voice can’t be imitated like the existing artists . Still listening in 2020. It never gets old & forgetten as long as 20th century history remembered in future.
I honestly think he forgot the words. He said it when it happened... and his reaction was genuine. Why turn to Rob first if he wanted the crowd to sing? But that's just IMO Beautiful performance though!
Exactly right after the words " when you've suffered enough" you can literally see him almost break down , then gets the crowd in to finish. There has to have been some raw feelings in the crowd at that point . And Chester ofc , rest his soul. Got me through my teens, i'm pretty sure i'd be dead at 14 without their music getting me through my teenage years .
[Verse 1] When you feel you're alone, cut off from this cruel world Your instincts telling you to run Listen to your heart, those angel voices They'll sing to you, they'll be your guide back home [Chorus] When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind It keeps us kind [Verse 2] When you've suffered enough and your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember you're loved and you always will be This melody will bring you right back home [Chorus] When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind
Honestly I dont think Chester forgot the words because of how he gets the crowd to sing along and he fades back some. almost like he wanted the crowd to focus more on the lyrics and the message behind the song than just the sound. but hey thats just me
InUrCrossHair, I think some people don't even listen to the words (they are just there, this goes for a lot of groups). LP songs have a message everywhere. Chester (as if I know him) had so much to give (that's my opinion, I know nothing) but from what I see (very little) he had this gift and sometimes gift's are a burden. That's me and these are just words in my head.
Attention exactly what I was thinking. LP camping out in the middle of nowhere and everyone's sitting around the campfire, then Chester starts singing The Messenger and everyone joins in. Count me in 🙋
This makes me cry for some reason. A warm night, the fire snaps mischievously, and everyone starts to sing this song. Their voices carry above the trees. Everything is alright.
When I was in the hospital six years ago, this song was the first one I listened to from ATS. "The Messenger" and the whole album was what gave me the streght to get through that experience. It was the album that made me realize just how much I love Linkin Park and just what this band means to me, not just by making music, but by uniting so many wonderful people, making every single fan somewhere out there in the world seem like a huge, beautiful family I can always return to. And to hear you sing along with Chester, giving life to this idea that's been in my heart for so long... I had tears in my eyes and couldn't help but start singing along with the video. :)
When you hear his voice and this little vibrations while holding a note ....sometimes clear and loud, then soft again, it always felt like coming home....This loss is still to big to even imagine ....
+Sean Lee more like he practiced and has a good warm up probably, he got it himself and most likely wasnt that good when he very first started, the voice is built to do that
This is Chester being Chester, just an incredible singer, the very best. Listen to this all the time and never fails to put a smile on my face whilst also having a few tears running down to for good measure
we'll never see another man / singer like him. God his voice and his talents are incredible,it is so rare to see someone being even better in live or even acapella than in studio version; but more than that he stayed such an humble and lovely man till the end. He changed life of so many people around the globe just by the sound of his voice and the message he and the other guys sent. I discovered LP when I was about 14/15 (i am 28 now), when I was building my personality and who I am today. LP was the first music band I told to myself "I love that, I want to listen to more of it" and they opened the door to rock music to me. I love to think they also played a role in who i am now, their lyrics, messages, it touched me on different level at different parts of my life. Today I listen to so many different bands, but LP is the only one I always come back to on a regular basis. Live in Texas is to me the best album ever and i'll never get tired of it. My only regret is that I never had the chance to see them live, it might be selfish but it makes me real sad that I will never be able to experience them in front of me. I'm proud to be a part of their fan, there is no other band that has / had this impact on the world, to me at least. This song and his smile made me so emotional I wasn't expecting that. I do not believe in god, but whatever is the truth I hope Chester is finally in peace, he deserved better but no one can change that.
I love the moment when Brad just tried to tune his guitar,and Chester was there smiling and talking. And Chester forgot his words and asked everybody to sing along. The Messenger is a love song,but it’s a truly moving song. We never notice these moments and now they all seem precious to everyone. Keep singing this song, pass the power to every soldier. We are never alone.
I'm a black man from Jamaica who found Linkin park when I was between 13 to 15 years old been in love with them since then I'll never stop loving LINKIN PARK
Here,, Chester`s voice is sooo beautiful. Even better than the original.. he`s so good live. i love him. i love his voice.i love him.He`s an angel..!..and him forgetting the lyrics..awh. it makes it more cute ! i just can`t stop crying.. i just can`t . He`s such a masterpiece...
This is so hard to watch... Chester your voice was better than gold! Much higher power. You will be missed by so many. You touched our hearts and souls. I'm so sorry you fought those demons daily.
This song has given me the strength time and time in life to not give up. While I can't imagine the pain you've suffered, I just want to say thank you for being such a big part of my life. Rock In Peace, Chester
This is my favorite video on youtube. His best live performance ever. I really miss Chester and his powerful voice. Everytime I watch this video, I cry. A lot. Thank you Chester, for making us, your fans, better persons. We really miss you.
Used to watch this video all the time a few years back when I was younger. Chester's vocals in this particular video are beautiful and I remember how it legitimately used to give me goosebumps. Not really been into Linkin Park for a while now, but I came back to watch this again for the nostalgia in light of what's happened. Thank you for everything Chester. I know you made my life better, alongside countless others. I hope you've found your peace x
This song has saved me more times than i care to put. We lost a great one y'all! Rip to the late... Great... Chester Bennington 😇 I feel him with me every time I listen to it!🥹
