Geez, you can really tell how hard it has been for Mike. You can hear it in his voice & see it on his face. I hope he continues to try and stay strong. It breaks my heart.
The hologram Chester comments pissed me off. People are so stupid to think it's simply okay to do that. I could feel the disgust in Mike's voice just talking about it and he's 100% correct in feeling that way.
Absolutely. How could somebody seriously suggest something like that? And asking this while Mike is doing a live stream...I mean...don't you think he's already hurting enough? He said he left early because he couldn't stand listening to Chester's voice that long, but I believe some of the inappropriate comments were a reason as well...
yeah i agree with mike if you love someone you don't want a holgarm of them so any fan that thinks the holgram was a good Idea it's not and every big linkin park knows that chester would want them to think of the good times and chester would not want mike to do this as while
he's breaking my heart. seems like he was on the verge of tears through the entire thing especially the holographic chester part ╥﹏╥ I hope he got lots of hugs snd comfort from anna after.
I've been surprised at how when Mike is on the verge of tearing up he somehow composes himself in such a way where he smiles rather than sheds a tear, even during the Make Chester Proud preformance. That to me is amazing and shows how strong he is as a person, mentally and physically.
Either it is strength or he just doesn't care as much or feel as deep as other people. I don't know. Letting a tear down or at least openly showing your emotions would show so much more empathy in my opinion. If there is something we should have learned from Chester's passing, is that repressing your feelings and lock the grief inside of you is always the wrong way.
Isabella Rose It isn't that he's repressing his emotions, he openly admits he was an emotional wreck, not in this video but several others, after Chester's passing. So much that he couldn't bear to listen to their music for well over a week. Mike, Brad, Rob, Joe, and Dave had been friends with Chester for almost two decades, so of course they care. He shouldn't have to show a tear to show he's a mess, we as fans should understand just how hard of a time that Mike, and the band, are going through.
I agree. You can see his pain. He physically looks fragile. But for him to reach out to us takes immense courage. He just realised towards the end he had ran out of strength to carry on x
@@TheBelli88 Or it might be just because he doesnt need to show it to the world that hes crying ? What makes you think that it didn't affect him. Im pretty sure he kept it personal and just kept being professional and playing during the lives instead of crying. He even talks about it in over again from post traumatic that he almost lost it in a couple of songs.
Aww, you could totally see that he’s not happy still and that that was hard for him to do. I was gutted I missed the live chat so I’m happy I’ve found it on here. I kept wanting to give him a hug, I’m glad Anna was there with him.
Mike you are so, so Brave to have done this for your fans, But...most of what you said was merely small talk without giving away things you just aren't ready to talk about yet. I totally understand that, and I hope when you got off air you hugged Anna real tight and had yet another GOOD CRY! I can't thank you enough for caring about the fans as much as we care about you. In ALL my years, I've NEVER seen a band so interactive.....EVER!! I never had the chance to see you guys, although I came close once (Pensacola, Fl) YOU CANCELLED *sign. I'm 63 years old and don't have many more concerts I'll be able to attend....actually, a small group of us have made a little project that you will be getting real soon. And, to show you just how 63 acts...I'm the one wearing the blue T-shirt and did something that Chester did (which you will recognize). At the end, of my video....you'll notice I had to look at my hands to be sure I had them in the right position. So, yeah.....it's pretty bad when a rocker starts to forget the natural signs. IF, for some reason you guys (when you heal) head back out on the road, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make Pensacola you're first on the Itinerary, I just hope I'm not 70 by then, lol BTW, I joined the underground...but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing...
Heartbreaking...u can see Mike's sadness in all of this. I am only a fan and miss Chester so much and it is just so sad he is gone. I got 15 minutes into this and could not stop crying. I will have to check back in to watch the rest. Chester is resting now.................the ones he left behind need our love!!!!!!! I wish i could give them all a big giant it will all be ok in time hug. It has to get better, right? Im so sad and just pissed off I will never get to experience Chester live in concert..........selfish i know....but FUCK did i miss out. It hurts
Yes, I noticed that too...even before I read his tweet about it. At some point I thought he was gonna cry or something he looked and sounded really sad. :'(
theSilentCartographer I agree, that's like your dad dying and just getting a lifeless hologram to just be there at Christmas dinner, it's not the same and it would hurt #RIPCHESTER
OMG at when he said "well we just can't do those shows and keeps saying they are good, you see him about to lose it". I'm just going to say it, man Chester passing fucking killed me so imagine Mike! He is being so strong but he has been broken. I just know if Chester could of seen into the future just how him taking his life was going to make Mike so lost and depressed, hurt, etc. I bet Chester would have not ended things but then again its suicide.. Mike loves Chester and has shown him nothing less than respect..just tragic so tragic..Miss you Chester and hang in there Mike! I miss the happy smiling Mike. You can do this!
Its awesome to meet you this way Mike. Please accept our condolences all the way from South Africa, for your loss. Im so grateful to have watched you guys perform live, your music resonated with me and continues to lift me up. I have been binge listening to your music everyday for more than a week now and have just been appreciating the lyrics and messages shared through your songs. Chester's passion for the songs you guys played is inspiring to listen to. Thanks for sharing and being a part of all our lives. I am looking forward to your music continuing to be a huge part of my life :) #lp
I love LOATR was the first time I ever got to hear it live! Amazing have always loved that song. Also Mike we will do what ever you ask of us. You dont need to apologize about anything. Grief sucks. plain and simple. I also love the version of Looking for an Answer that you did at the tribute show. And there absolutely is light where Chester is now like it was when he was here ♥ Sending all of LP, families friends, soldiers lots of love, light and healing energy
Hang in there Mike you got this and the live album of One more light is awesome and thank you so much prayers for you that you will get the strength to carry on
I missed this I dont have instagram. I did listen to it all the way through, great record, waiting for the CD should be here tomorrow, did the digital download as soon as it was sent.
Mike keep your head up God is with you. I never got to see you guy's live in concert but I listen to all the Linkin Park music and it is the best music I evere heard. I will listen to the new Linkin music when you make it. Stay strong Mike and all of you in the band. Linkin Park rocks for ever.
Mike, I know that it's still hard for most of us. Or, at least some of us. I don't know anymore, because, it's already been 5 months, and 2 days, since Chester committed suicide. And, I know that, it's still hard. Like, very hard to deal with the emotions, and, dealing with the fact that, he isn't here anymore. I get that. But, I don''t think that, Chester would want you or anyone else from Linkin Park, to commit suicide, like he did. So, do us all a favor, and, keep on going without him. Please, man.
Mike-- my 6 yr old niece loves Linkin Park...loves the album One More Light...she actually beat me on getting this album. I had to borrow it from her overnight lol. You guys will always be my favorite band ❤
That was so random when Mike just clicked on sombody & then he was able to connect with random fan & starts talking to him live, but then it started lagging towards the end, the video kind of froze, I thought it was just random for Mike to just pick a random fan for him to video chat live with Mike, i thought it was kind funny. Hahah
Sorry but I really love you guys .Be strong and be together don't ever forget about gester and continued the band p!ease and continued the good things we will be here for you all ok you and his family i love you guys so much !!!!
Love what you have done to make people sand up for there right's i cry all the time the world is hard to be at i know how he was feeling you guy's songs so me what i been fruitful
omg i can't believe that he picked one of the fans to do a live with. I should have seen it live buy I was so busy that day... i really wished that i could have seen it
What's up gorgeous...He's so gorgeous, my nephew looks just like Shinoda. Keep strong LP.. will always miss Chester. Watch his funny moments with d band n realised he was a funny man. Kia kaha (be strong), Bro. From Aotearoa (New Zealand).
we still be Chester but it's time to start a new chapter for Linkin park no doubt a lot of great stuff is yet to come. live long and prosper linkinpark
Damn I haven’t got it in the mail yet I saw he left unexpectedly n w/o saying anything I don’t think it was the commentary that did reliving each song on there when Chester was here it’s incredibly painful they’ve been together since the late 90s 24/7 almost working hanging out play dates with each other’s kids
You should have my husband Robert Gunnell perform with you guys, he was an old friend of Chester's from Arizona all the way back to 1997. He sings all of your songs and he gets into it so seriously.
I traveled 1700 miles round trip tp go to the Linkin Park and Friends concer and it was great but hearing other artists sing chesters parts was so hard
He’s laying it out there 15 min in u can c Mike trying not to cry my heart breaks for u Mike LP n talinda u guys r a big piece for my life if I can help u out feel free to send me a message here or Twitter @khyatt25 that’s to everyone else as well #makechesterproud
He s trying to go on and live and propose himself as good as he know and hes trying also to give somethingh good to his fans hes not so well conditions of health but hes trying to search me on computer to attire me and he would like to come and meet me but someone continue to constrain him there well for him is important me but he has problems to say it . good thats hes trying to go on after the lost so important of his beautiful and terrible best singer and friend. Dear chazzy. Go on mike we are with you and hope you can create somethingh interesting and creative and spontaneus kisses from one place of my head that soon i hope i will go away to stay better Cicciolo
Honestly, I've lost a lot of people and the hologram is a great idea...I don't understand why you don't want it! I came up with that idea over 30 years ago... I would love a hologram. Not sure why people shy away from facing death!
