Cool Bennington RIP

@frosty quail this thread is for happy/positive memories about CB. we understand it can be difficult but if you read above, some comments start of sad however end on a lighter note. 🙂

also, for those who don't know, the attached are your mods for the server. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask us. we're here for you. 😊 #💬│general message

[slim pawn]

@frosty quail thank you for sharing your positive words.
I personally don't mind a little negativity when you need support from others, it's good to let it out. I will help when I can. But I can't handle reminding 2017 so vividly, I'm sorry.

[woven cedar]

It's alright i can't watch it either.

[slim pawn]

But when it's in here at least I know I need to be careful.

[fathom frost]

hi chester,

I'm gonna start making music to express myself on monday, when i've got my electric guitar, know you’re my biggest inspiration.

I'm on vacation right now, but i still hate myself. there’s a part of my conscience that seems to hate me, bringing back old memories that i hate and it can’t keep myself happy. i have no idea whats causing it, but i feel more depressed every day. I'm scared of whats to come, but things aren’t looking much better for now…

Goodbye, you're the absolute best. “dont rest in peace, rock there.”

[slim pawn]

I love the last sentence

[vivid fiber]

I 100% agree with you, man.

see, three words

[echo halo]

Not me feeling like about to cry just by thinking of the One More Light song.

Goat, amazing, irreplaceable.

[slim pawn]

You're not alone 🫂

[echo halo]

During road trips with my parents, my dad would sometimes tune into the best of Linkin Park on Spotify. But when One More Light comes up, I had to always skip that. Even without the thought of crying, it is LP’s saddest song.

[slim pawn]

For me it's the whole album. Many song's lyrics give a whole another meaning now. But it's really beautiful. I hope one day I'll be ready to listen to it.

[reef path]

Last night, I went to see Sum 41, Simple Plan, and The Offspring. Dexter Holland played the piano version of Gone Away, and it reminded me of Chester and others who passed away.

[tight parcel]

Ive come to the conclusion that chester is literally my hero❤️. His determination, confidence, cheerful and upbringing mood when around others, and how resilient he was are all traits i admire and wish to have myself. If Chester could do it, i know i can too. Ive been getting better, and he has been my biggest motivation this whole time❤️❤️

[tight parcel]

Same here honestly, i cant even get through any songs on that album without bawling my eyes out. Honestly, if its not that album, its crawling. I also heard mikes tribute to chester when he played roads untraveled, and i absolutely lost it😭

[echo halo]

I was browsing through my dad's old HDD, and one of the videos there are a recording of Linkin Park performing The Catalyst in Marina Bay Circuit, as I shared in #💭│lp-memories . Then I felt sad.

[toxic ivy]

I had a dream last night where I met Chester

If only it was real

[light nova]

If only

[crude walrus]

[fathom frost]

reminds me of my dream a while ago.
it was like a show where they played all their songs they never player along with the ht and meteora demos, it was the most unreal experience ever and i only remember him singing fighting myself and it sounded amazing in the dream

[light nova]

That would have been awesome

[echo halo]

There's a cool edit showing if Lost was played in Live in Texas.

Also, I once had a dream that lasted an entire song. LP were performing Iridescent in some random sidewalk (almost like busking)

I took a selfie with Mike after they finished the song, which was the moment before I woke up.

[slim pawn]

I miss you Chester, I miss that amazing voice of yours. Sing for all the people that get to the heaven ❤️

[woven cedar]

So we could hear you from heaven too.

[slim pawn]

once ❤️

[sullen coral]

If Chester was still here, he would be a shining light in this dark, dark world

[solemn stirrup]

Now he is a shinning light above it 🥺😌

[solemn stirrup]

His lighting still reaches us 🤍

[fallow flint]

I watched it... absolute Chills.

[sullen coral]

Chester was truly a unique soul, I miss him every day

[echo halo]

Chester never left us. Long as our generation (and the future ones) cherish his legacy he has never left us.

https://youtu.be/MYnDrJzRaLQ
This video shows how Chester’s works transcend even to people with different musical tastes. Watch until the end.

[echo halo]

Especially in the year of the limbo that was 2020.

[fathom frost]

"In your house, I long to be
Room by room, patiently
I'll wait for you there
Like a stone
I'll wait for you there
Alone"

“I can’t hold oooon” - By myself…

“You say that i’m paranoid, but i’m pretty sure, the world is out to get me” -Heavy
“It’s like i’m paranoid looking over my back” -Papercut

❤️

The lyrics never changed, but the music did. I think that’s beatiful in a way.

[solemn stirrup]

"We all fall down
we live somehow
we learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger"
I imagine how much Chester tried to believe in these words. 🥺
I also do try

[solemn stirrup]

No, actually now that I consider it again what Chester was going through doesn't belong to "what doesn't kill us" 😫

[untold cedar]

I interact with so many IG and FB posts about Chester that 80% of my feeds are Chester pics and only 20% friends and family...and I am 100% okay with this. Chester forever. 🥰

[brisk pagoda]

Sounds like a good feed 🙂

Just watched bham last show..his speech is so beautiful

"I've come down there and sang with all my friends. I just want to make sure before we leave and go back home, that we pay our respect and share some of our love and our prayers for the families an d the victims of the tragedy at the Manchester Arena. My heart has never been broken so much, until the day I found out that that tragedy happened. And since that day I've been wearing these little earrings with the bees in 'em, I know that’s a symbol of strength and hope in the city of Manchester. And I'm gonna keep these in, I'm gonna keep these in, until all this nonsense stops and we can start loving each other, we can stop hurting each other, because we believe in something different, than the person standing next to us. The one thing that can’t be defeated is love, right? You can conquer hate by ignoring it, you can destroy it by loving the person next to you. So I want everybody here tonight to look at the person standing next to you and just tell 'em that you love 'em and you are happy that they're here with you tonight, having a good time. Listening to music. Celebrating life. We don't care what you look like, we don't care where you come from, we don't care what you believe in. We love every single one of you out there, and nothing will ever change that. With that said, let's sing some songs together."

[rugged breach]

What a beautiful and powerful speech. Chester was seriously the best ❤️🫂

[untold cedar]

I love that speech. Still can't bring myself to watch the full last show, but I've watched that clip a few times. He was such a loving soul with the kindest heart.

[brisk pagoda]

Bless you, he really was x

[brisk pagoda]

Tbh it is a hard watch

[sturdy bronze]

i cannot watch the last show, or the memorial show, i know its gonna hit too hard, however when i watched a clip of that speech i sobbed my damn eyes out. it’s both gorgeous and heart wrenching at the same time

i miss him

[slim pawn]

To a question "what is your bandmate's biggest flaw?" Mike once said to Chester "your biggest flaw is that you care too much". He really did. ❤️

[echo halo]

The music might have changed, but Linkin Park and their spirit, never.

[sullen coral]

I have no clue how Chester made famous, or if he even did, but those flames are cemented in his legacy

[upper zenith]

Bay Optimus Prime has them on his arms too, which is purely coincidental, or is it?

[fathom frost]

I miss Chester 😭and if I were to get a tatto it would probably be greyscaled wrist flames or a big ahz back tattoo of the hybrid theory soldier with the insect wings you know, I might just use my meteora 20super deluxe sketch that I think Joe Hahn drew as a reference for the back tattoo

[fathom frost]

CHEEEESTEEEER

[sharp vine]

The grayscaled wrist flames sound so awesome 💪 Since my first LP tattoo ive thought about getting another one. Not sure what though

[vivid fiber]

the greyscaled wrist flames was the best part. definitely one of my favorites whenever I see it.

[small mesa]

Hey Chester, so uhh long story short, my friend liked the record you put out. Hybrid Theory has been in almost all their playlists by now and they love your vocals.

Keep making music man! I know you won’t be around to see this, but I at least hope he is still providing his unholy screams and melodies, where ever they may be. I just know they are out there somewhere, and hopefully we’ll all be able to see him again… though, probably don’t want to disturb Chester, he’s at rest for now

[minor hinge]

I miss you, Chaz

[light nova]

Same

[echo halo]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=V86RcziyZ_8
When Chester and the rest of band sang towards the end of Castle of Glass at the 2012 Game Awards, I feel as if I am being choked.

Man, I feel like I’m about to cry.

I didn’t really cry to anything Linkin Park related but here it is now.

I’d really pay to go back in time and see a Linkin Park concert.

[sullen coral]

Same

[sharp vine]

same man

my mom and dad were able to go to a Meteora concert near where we live way back in like 2003-04

lucky people they were

[echo halo]

My dad watched LP perform when he was attending F1 at Singapore in 2011.

[fathom frost]

i just saw someome walk by who looked like you did in 2001. had to look like 4 times

[rugged breach]

Every time I go to a new concert I think about Chester at least once, I tell myself “I would give everything to see LP and Chester live one more time”. We miss you so much Chester 💗

[slim pawn]

It's okay, just cry man, let it out. I cry to almost everything except Recharged these days. LP is a huge part of our lives and the music creates some kind of a strong connection so it's normal I guess. I feel like with Chester I lost a part of myself too.

[reef path]

@slim pawn Crying is a way to heal.

[slim pawn]

It usually is but not for me, I have excessive crying. But thanks ❤️ Let's keep this thread about Chester.

[fathom frost]

thanks for saving me from myself every day chester. surely your music is the sole thing that ever kept being supportive throughout the last 7 years or so. we wish you were still around.

[fathom frost]

"He won't see the sun again. For years to come, he's broken out in love"

All I wanna do, is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got"

Those lyrics always hit me so hard ❤️

LP lyrics have gotten me through so many dark times of my life. I’m so grateful for Chester and this band

[slim pawn]

Me too ❤️

[upper zenith]

I am Optimus Prime, and this message is for Chester Bennington. Wherever you are, whatever you may be at the moment, we remember you as the way you intended, a strong, kind-hearted and caring individual. We are here, and we are waiting, rest well, soldier, you did good.

[woven sentinel]

as someone who's grandma died of ALS right before COVID lockdown, this meant a lot to me

[sullen coral]

Chester was one of the brightest lights in this dark world

It'll forever be remembered

[abstract spire]

Linkin Park is the only band where I enjoy all of their songs. Chester's voice helped me through college and times where I thought I'd just give up. I really wish he'd just come back and help me through university now but I know he deserves to rest. 🙏

[fathom frost]

Same, but instead of college it’s just life in general

[sullen coral]

"This place right here, this skull between my ears, that is a bad neighborhood, and I should not be in there alone"
That stuck with me

[pseudo lily]

Its true though

[echo halo]

Quoting a comment on a video of Numb being played at the 2017 Hollywood Bowl tribute concert…

We may be divided by boundaries, races, genders, ages and beliefs.
But Chester Bennington and Linkin Park connected all of us.

Music is truly an universal language.

[limber ocean]

You kept this section up. I can’t believe it. Thank you. ❤️

[gritty bronze]

Sorry for your loss!

[limber ocean]

Hey Chester!! You were the reason I fell in love with music. You showed me what it meant to truly connect people with music. I hope you’re proud of me. I tried to deal with this but every time I think of you my heart shatters into a million pieces. WHY???? 💔😭🙏🏻

[echo halo]

https://youtu.be/0LQWu6FHOoQ
This is the Chester we need to remember. A lovable, sweet, kind-hearted person and it truly shows in this music video.

That last part where Chester holds the little angel’s hand, man…

I have no words.

[strange dagger]

That part😭

[sullen coral]

The world lost one of the brightest lights ever, I always seem to be grieving over chester

[echo halo]

https://youtu.be/5BWOVPhP0mc?feature=shared

In the End, My Heart Will Go On

A mashup you’d expect to find it funny at first but then it proceeds to hit you.

Especially when the note changes.

Our hearts always go on, Chester.

[gritty bronze]

On a more uplifting note, Mike did well yesterday. Chester would be so proud of him for keeping the Linkin Park spirit up!

[echo halo]

I’ve just listened to the preview. Very Linkin Park.

They really never left.

[upper zenith]

They never left, but merely subdued and waiting to have the fire rage on again, with Chester's spirit being in all of them

[sullen coral]

"If I'm not actively getting outside myself and being with other people, like being a dad, being a husband, being a bandmate, if I'm out of myself, I'm great, if I'm inside all the time, I'm horrible, I'm a mess" (cut out some words)

Chester described depression perfectly in that interview

[echo halo]

Honestly, I can relate.

[slim pawn]

Chester, if there's anything we could learn from your story it's this: it's okay to talk about our mental health and it's okay to seek help if we feel we need it. There's a large stigma about mental health in my country. But it's changing a lot around the world and I think Chester, you, your way of putting all of it into your songs and voice, being so honest about it, it made way for it to be possible. You were and still are the change and we all are the change too. Thanks to you and this wonderful community around LP I now know doing therapy is nothing scary but something necessary, a normal part of life. Rest in peace my friend. #makechesterproud #fuckdepression #iamthechange

[little swan]

The legend will never die………..

[sullen coral]

If Chester was still here I'd thank him a million times over for what he did for me and everybody else

[echo halo]

I came to the Celebrate Life concert video, just to see only parts of it and mostly the comments. Still hurts regardless.

[slim pawn]

they say grief never dissappears, it's you who grow around it

[trim panther]

Chester and lp saved me when i had a really rough time in life, after my parents got divorced when i was 13, i had the feeling that i didnt belong anywhere, that it was my fault, that i deserved this fear of being alone. they helped me to progess my expirence with school mobbing which was under my skin for almost 10 years. lp teached me so much about the importance of mental health. if chester was still here, i would thank him so bad for all that he had done for me and everyone else. rest in peace legend

[trim panther]

i got into lp very late (2016) so all my memory with lp is a big emotional rollercoster

[sullen coral]

(I've said this in #💭│lp-memories )
Chester had such an infectious smile

[echo halo]

I’ve only been an LP fan starting in 2022, but I still can’t stand hearing One More Light without chances of bursting into tears.

[solemn stirrup]

I have to say that the thought of Chester and his voice just set me free of a very disturbing situation I was not used to until recent times.The bad thoughts don't go away but the intensity of the feelings slow down a lot!
If only you are aware of that greatness of yourself dear Chester 🤍

[high vector]

😩😫😖😭😭😭😭 I'm so sad

[trim panther]

if you have trouble with your mental health or just need someone to talk to, dm me please

[high vector]

You're psychology

[fathom frost]

My biggest regret is not going to a Linkin park concert; I’ll miss you Chester Bennington. His voice helped me release so much bad energy I had and help cure any depression I had. Thank you for all you did

[echo halo]

If only I’ve been a fan much sooner. Knew some of their songs since I’m little but actually became a fan only a year ago, now knowing majority of their catalog.

[upper zenith]

Rest easy, soldier, you've done a lot for many of us.

[sullen coral]

I wonder what chester would've thought about all these cool albums getting a 20th anniversary and never before heard demos being shown the light, and song listens going into the millions

[pseudo lily]

I bet he listening to his music in heaven

[sullen coral]

He's probably jamming out on a stage like the rockstar he is aswell

[pseudo lily]

Plus he must be rocking heaven out a lot

With Chris Cornell

I wish I met Chez, he would be a good friend to me

[limber ocean]

Good morning

[echo halo]

Heaven is rocking with Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson.

[fathom frost]

and every singer that saved lives, they have a special place in heaven ❤️

[pseudo lily]

If I died I would go to the heaven concert first thing if Chester is playing LINKIN PARK Concert in heaven

[sullen coral]

I hope that wherever Chester is, he's rocking out and having the time of his life

[robust tide]

Some may be able to save millions but can’t save himself.

[molten halo]

i can relate

[echo halo]

https://youtu.be/t7A0dWgjhw8

It really feels like forever that you’ve been gone, Chaz.

[fathom frost]

hey chester,

i made a cover of the song numb today. i'm feeling more depressed than ever.
i don't trust in my abilities to sing at all, so i left out the chorus. when i see you, i hope we can sing my version together.

i love you. i'm in shambles.

[pseudo lily]

I feel you man

Guys the last chez did last of his speech and saying that we all need to help each other out and now I believe that he is a Guardian Angel Of Strength And Hope 🤘

[molten halo]

[obsidian quail]

Well, I live in a foreign country where the culture is different and I don't know the language. So that made things hard for me, especially socialization.

Got bullied and was in a word - isolated. Went on for 9 years and still going, I do not really have any friends.

Plus the people here are idiots anyways. Ungrateful and I got countless experiences to back that up

Linkin Park's music got me through near insanity and breakdowns, and while my situation has not improved much. I can still say that I am here with you all and Chester and LP were a key factor in that. ❤️

[humble flame]

Damn, same

[molten halo]

i dont know what to do

help me

[obsidian quail]

Don't do it, please don't.

[molten halo]

i dont know man

im just angry

[sullen coral]

You can vent to me if you want

[molten halo]

thanks for offering the helping hand, but i think this is one i have to do alone

[fathom frost]

same brother. i’ve never felt this bad, each day is just a repeating cycle but it keeps getting worse… sometimes i feel so angry like i need to scream so bad, sometimes i feel extremely powerless not being able to do anything, sometimes i feel like nothing is worth anything anymore, sometimes i feel way too numb all the way down to my core.

i don’t really think this is a vent channel, but i can’t talk to anyone else about this. i hate hotlines.

I hope everything turns out well for you

[sullen coral]

You can talk to me

[fathom frost]

yesterday, i was lying in my bed, i was not doing anything it was late at night, feeling terrible.

i left my phone on autoplay on youtube open, i was just listening to some video, wasting time because i couldn’t sleep.

then, autoplay came on, and the most beatiful performance of my december came on. it made me cry, its like chester was right in my room trying to help me

[solemn stirrup]

@molten halo, @fathom frost, and everybody else. Please! We all want you here in our family ❤️. Keep fighting as you already do. Chester won thousands of battles: every night that he was safe back to sleep he was the winner of the day. And you do so as well! And remember you are not alone! Feeling lonely and being alone are two totally different things. You can really talk to me and you may feel better. Talk to someone who loves you, family, friend too. People sometimes care for us more than we think. Chester is an example! And how much we love and how much we miss him... More than he was aware of. And if you are ready to fight for a solution you can search for a specialist.

-"Well I do"

[woven cedar]

I do too.

[sullen coral]

I always liked when chester would just unnecessarily go ham on a song, like one step closer or something, he'd involve the crowd with the lyrics, even if that's just a small thing, it's still amazing to see

[molten halo]

we are in the same boat here pal

its gonna work

were trying

and thats all that matters

[molten halo]

thanks a lot my friend🫂

[plain timber]

if y’all need this ^^

[obsidian quail]

Thanks for reminding me those exist, idk if I got another option now.

[plain timber]

and if y’all are thinking of it, don’t. everyone wants you here.

[molten halo]

[molten halo]

defenetily taking advice from a prime👍🏾

[slim pawn]

This was the most beautiful support I have ever seen.

[slim pawn]

The 7Cups online free therapy platform needs to be listed in here. You can vent on the Forums there and get support in the weekly check-ins or find a listener if you need support at the moment.

Hang on, you've got this ❤️ Chester would want you to keep living and enjoy his music, make him proud by taking care of yourself ❤️

[obsidian quail]

Thanks for the support🫂

[molten halo]

no one understands

[trim panther]

i do, and i dont expect you to know why this is happening, or to know all the answers, we just are humans trying our very best every day

[slim pawn]

we do

everything you feel is valid.

[molten halo]

i wish i had screaming liscence like chester

i hope it gets better

even my parents dont understand what im going through

[slim pawn]

parents can be hard in this, most of them are unable to understand.. that's why you have an LP family right here

I'm writing that as a parent of two

[molten halo]

thanks guys, i really needed this

[trim panther]

know that you have people here, that understand you and your feelings, people that dont judge you for who you are, people that know that we all make mistakes and that you dont have all answers in your pockets

[slim pawn]

It gets better. It just needs a lot of time. And it's okay not to feel okay. You will be all right.

Feelings are final they don't take forever.

This server should have a general support channel 😅

[hushed slate]

Hey, guys! Kind reminder to please keep chats on topic, to their corresponding channels. Now would be a good time to consider forming a group chat. Deleting off-topic conversation here.

[slim pawn]

Please don't. You are a worthy human being and you matter.

[molten halo]

[molten halo]

maybe have a seperate channel for people to vent into

[hushed slate]

We've already brought the idea up. It was a no-go. We're simply not equipped for the kind of content that a vent channel may involve, among other things.

[molten halo]

interesting

i think to but a complete ban on slurrs might fix it

[hushed slate]

It's more complicated than that. If you'd like, we could take the conversation between you and I to DMs. Content in this thread needs to be kept on-topic.

[molten halo]

sure

[slim pawn]

I understand.

[woven cedar]

I do. 🫂

[untold sail]

Been seeing the stuff for Saw X lately and the whole time I’ve been thinking how cool it would’ve been for Chester to see his favorite horror franchise returning and how excited we would have been

[untold cedar]

Does anyone else compulsively save every Chester photo that comes across your social feeds? Even if I've downloaded a pic b4 I download it again, in case this one is a higher res upload than the last, or the one b4 was just a screenshot from annoying IG. I'm sure I have every pic in 8x duplicates by now, but it's a reflex, I see a Chezzy pic, I click Save.

[cold dust]

Me

[slim pawn]

I want to thank you Chester.

For being with me when things were tough.

For screaming for me when I couldn't.

For making me happy with your music when I was down.

It saved my life and it means the world to me. I'm still standing. I miss my best friend.

[obsidian quail]

CHEEESTEEEEEER

[glad valley]

No one will be forget what happened to our legend he was so strong and funny perhaps but he couldn't stay with us all of us must remember him and making him proud wherever he is he will stay with us and never disappeared we miss miss you all chester until we all are one no matter what will be happening in the future he still with us forever 🙏🙏🙏🙏💔❤️‍🔥

And I wish know you more 😔🙏

[slow hound]

Hey Chester. Sorry I havent been here for a while to stop by and say hi cuz life has beeb all over the place for me but Im still pushing through it all. I watch clips and vids of u sometimes which helps me in so mamy waus and they never fail to make me smile. Your contagious laugh and beautiful smile that everyone loved and the fact how u can brighten up the room wherever you go. The world still loves and misses you a lot. We hope you are in a better place with no pain anymore. Fly high Chaz

Why does it say trigger warning in parentheses?!

[sullen coral]

Because some people might not like talking about this stuff

[thick girder]

I wonder when the next song with Chester will come out.

[sullen coral]

I don't think there is going to be a new song

Only songs that weren't put on the albums

[thick girder]

I hope something releases before 2027.

[sullen coral]

If anything we'd be getting 20th anniversary releases

[thick girder]

Before then Grey Daze might put something out

[sullen coral]

With the new lead singer I'm guessing

That or they put out demos for when chester was still here

[thick girder]

Last year one of the members said one time that they still have more stuff recorded years ago.

[sullen coral]

I think grey daze and lp have songs they didn't put on the album

[thick girder]

And dead by sunrise

[sullen coral]

Them too

Idk if grey daze or dbs are going to put anything new out, lp might just release 20th anniversaries

[thick girder]

I’m fine with it as long as it keeps coming every few years.

[fathom frost]

probably not lp, but i wonder if grey daze or dbs are working on stuff. guess we’ll just wait and see

[thick girder]

I won’t be able to respect it though if DBS replaces Chester just like Grey Daze did this year.

[fathom frost]

they should go under a new name in my opinion if they replace him

[thick girder]

Same with Linkin Park if they release new music or replace him (I doubt that’ll ever happen though).

[oblique sluice]

Chester as their pfp and banner and they replaced him. If I really say my feelings ill get banned.

However I'm glad you mentioned them cause I see the OGs are finally on Spotify. The work when Chester was involved is great.

I had tickets for their show in September 2017. I really wish I could have gone.

[thick girder]

What really gets me mad is that they use Chester for all of their advertising and everything but they have a completely different guy now.

[oblique sluice]

Agree 1000%

Please do not make speculation or assumptions around lyrics, the idea of replacing band members or the future of the band.

Just a reminder

And keep this thread on topic as a place to remember Chester

[thick girder]

What speculation was there?

[slim pawn]

Because some people are still grieving and might be quite sensitive to this topic.

[obsidian quail]

As much as we miss him, we eventually have to accept Chester is dead. All we can do is remember him and honour his memory, which I am sure everyone here is doing on a daily basis.

[slim pawn]

It is of no use telling people how they should feel and what they should or even have to accept. Everyone is different and each grief has its own pace that cannot be rushed. Please be respectful and considerate to other people and their feelings.
I still fail to see what is wrong with the Trigger Warning label. There is a reason for it to be there which I described earlier.
And please let's keep this space related to the topic 🙏

[obsidian quail]

How others deal with grief won't change the fact he's unfortunately no longer with us, accepting the facts and dealing with it are two different things. If you don't accept what's happened, you'll never move on.

But let us stop it here, I have no wish to get into an argument, that will just mean extra medication I'll have to take to stay sane.

[slim pawn]

I'm saying this again, let's keep this topic clean. We can continue on DM if you wish, I'm open to discussion (not an argument).

You are loved.

[little swan]

Rip Chester😭 he died when I was finished with kindergarten

[sullen coral]

Every video I watch it makes me miss chester more and more

[thick girder]

Even watching a video of a dog you miss Chester?!

[sullen coral]

I meant of chester

[tidal path]

You, us, road...

At 9 I wanted to be just like you,
At 12 I wanted to meet you,
At 13 I wanted to go away and never be found again, and you saved me again...
At 15 I wanted to be just like you, and i realized our stories meet at the end of every road...

So at 17 I wanted to meet you...
At 18 I was wondering why I was here...
At 20 I was lost again, and you found me again then lost again at 21...

When we lost you, i lost the little girl that loved you deeply and we still love you, we just hurting since that day....

I'll meet you again at the end of this road someday, soon or not who knows?

Just keep shining, love u.

[slow hound]

Heyyyy Chazz!!! Words can’t expresss how so many people wish you were here. To this day I can’t believe u are gone but your legacy will always carry on. I never got to meet you or go to any of your concerts but I know I will meet you in another life one day along with my grandpa. You inspire me to hopefully have a music career one day and keep SHINX as my little rockstar name and maybe even join a band of my own and make good memories with them like you did along with Linkin Park. I just hopefully need to find free time. I miss you and lucky we had someone like you in this crazy world. It will never be the same without you but thank you for saving so many lives even when you’re gone. Rest easy you nectar loving talented beautiful man

https://tenor.com/view/chester-smiling-linkin-park-gif-11265912

cant forget that bright smile and laugh everyone loves (alsooo so manyyy cool crazy haircuts LOL) :)

[limber kelp]

Chester,

When I first heard you're voice during the end of the Transformers movies, it sparked me a love for music. But through it all, it eventually made me the person who I am today.

Even though we never met, I miss you.

[sullen coral]

If only we could've had a few more years with chester, I would've loved it

[thick girder]

It’s his body that is gone. His music and his spirit still exist.

Just like everyone who died.

[chrome agate]

I love you Chester

Always in my heart

[solemn stirrup]

"A few years" in my case 😪

It may be crazy but even though I've learn him after his pass, every day I miss him even more. Many would say it's insane but that's how I feel. I had found somewhere I belong in him. And lost it at the same time...
If only I was born earlier... I can't btw imagine how you "old" guys may feel about it. I always hope that I don't offend you by talking about how much Chester's death hurts me while I didn't know him then, but he is like a second father to me these years.
-You are the best human to ever exist, and you were an artist beyond excellent. (As repeatedly said of course)

[echo halo]

He would have been a shining light in 2020.

[unreal orchid]

I feel you, I've learned abput him something like just 2 years ago and he just helps me everyday when I think about him even if it was years ago... he's an inspiration for me and his pass just hurt even now

[fathom frost]

Same, it truly shows the legacy that he left behind.

[tall quiver]

when people ask me what moment i could re-live again, i always answer "2015 rivercity rockfest" since that was the first and last time that i got to see linkin park. i was 8 and i had absolutely no idea what that concert would mean to me in the future. as a girl who grew up memorizing each song from each album since birth, not a season goes by where i don't mourn the loss of Chester <3
r.i.p my hero

[signal aspen]

I feel Chester, caring too much sucks

[fathom frost]

I think we can all agree that he was a beautiful man who had a tough life, but he helped others through his work inspired by his own struggles with life. (I know what a cliche) He was, and still is one of the greatest voices of this era. Linkin Park basically raised a whole generation of people, who still love their music. We miss you Chester, fly high and rock in the sky! ❤️

[echo halo]

I can’t be the only one here who gets kinda choked listening to a fan edit of Lost being performed in Texas 2003.

[boreal thunder]

Been missing CB a lot lately, with the state of the world, his outspoken bravery is missed ❤️

[slow hound]

Not a moment goes by where I don’t think of this man. He was a ball of light for everyone yet couldn’t be one himself and it still hurts that he’s gone. Thankfully he left behind incredible music so no matter where you go, you can stilll hear the passion in his vocals. We love you so much Chester and hope you don’t have to battle those demons anymore

[fathom frost]

Your body may be gone. But your soul and voice will live on forever.

[old zinc]

Does anyone know if this thread is going to close at some point, or is it here to stay?
Coming here and seeing how much love there is for Chester and how much he’s missed is soothing for me when thinking about him hurts
Sorry if it’s already been said, I just got the impression that this thread was temporary is all

Or is there a reason that this thread didn’t become it’s own established channel?

[fathom frost]

I think it should stay up in honor of him, and if people want to share some words with him. And talk about hard times. ❤️

[proud rivet]

I don’t believe there are plans to close this thread 😊

[old zinc]

I’m glad, I appreciate the outlet

[obsidian quail]

Today is 18th October, my birthday. I was listening to Lost today and the lyrics "I'm lost in these memories, living behind my own illusion"

Although my day was better than other days I am still unsure about what I want to do or how to improve my situation, as if I don't know how to be happy. These lyrics resonated with me today and I was shook to my core.

I do not know where you are Chester, but please remember you helped me and countless others speak for them when they couldn't, I'm trying to fight for your sake and I'm afraid I will lose my battle, I hope you can give me the strength to fight back like you have done many times in the past. Depression is a b*tch and it needs to be eradicated.

We love you Chester, thank you for everything ❤️

[fathom frost]

i love you

[obsidian quail]

[echo halo]

Chester…we have forgotten all the wrong you had done. You left not some but millions of reasons to be missed. We will never resent you, and you’re in our memories when we feel empty. And we have left out all the rest.

We have done all of them for you Chester, we never forget.

[molten halo]

🫂

[molten halo]

nice reference

[fathom frost]

i always feel strangely at comfort with your songs.
i listen to my december and in the darkness to fall asleep.
this voice calms me down. its actually crazy

[glad valley]

Hey chester I heard about you lost your Best friend well I lost my friends too well looks like we have same problems if you were here I wish you can help me 😭🙏

I'm broke like you 😔😭

[echo halo]

Chester can read me a bedtime story and it’ll still be epic.

Chester can even rap or sing me the ingredients of my shampoo and it’ll still be awesome too.

[hushed slate]

Idk if any of you have seen the tribute posted recently by Papa Roach. It's tasteful and sweet, imo. The song's called "Leave a Light On". (Visuals were recorded at a show two weeks ago where they dedicated the song to him; MV was posted two days ago.)

[slow hound]

Omg dude that was actually one of my recommendations in YouTube!! I didnt expect it but I wasn’t complaining for sureee :)

[tight parcel]

I feel like everytime I need to hear them, linkin park comes on. Whether it's on the radio or my phone, I feel like their music is always there for me when I need to hear it most, whether I know it or not.
Chester, you mean a lot to me. We never met, but i feel such a strong sense comfort from seeing photos and videos of you, and from hearing your voice. Your music means a lot to me, and I'm still not even sure why, but you and the rest of the band mean more to me than any other band ever has before.

Thank you for being one of the reasons why I'm still here, chester. You're a massive inspiration for me in so many ways, and I am so grateful for rhe fact that i redescovered you and the rest of linkin park ❤️❤️❤️

[fathom frost]

I miss chester

[solemn stirrup]

• "Till then carry on
  and miss me when I'm gone..."
  🤍

[fathom frost]

primo is amazing

[sharp vine]

I havent said anything in here, so I guess ill say something. I remember when the news of Chester emerged, I was in town and 12 years old, but I just wasnt as into them at that point so I didn’t care a whole bunch, man I regret that

[echo halo]

Same.

And man, I'm glad that my dad got to see Chester live once.

[echo halo]

We all do.

[sharp vine]

Me too! My parents went to a Meteora concert in 2003, im so happy they were at least able to see them in person 🙏🏻

[old zinc]

I was 13 when I heard the news from my sister - she’s the one who introduced me to their music in the first place.
I didn’t really understand the concept of being a ‘fan of a band’ back then, I had always thought that the music they make was as far as it went, there was nothing to be interested in beyond that.
So when she told me, I didn’t really care.
But since then, getting to know about the band - the people, their personalities, their opinions and their lives - I’ve grown to be very fond of them.
…and I frequently feel guilt that I’d heard that Chester had died, and I didn’t really care. I really regret that, too.

I’m sorry 💔

[solemn stirrup]

It was not an unexpected or inappropriate reaction I think. My friend learned that from his sister at 13 too, (I thought for a sec you were him lol). He reacted like that. It is understandable, I mean you were 13, and you couldn't illustrate what a band could mean beyond their music.

[solemn stirrup]

I was 12 years old when Chester passed out 😥. I really came into music two years later. Three into lp. I can't accept that Chester was alive and lp making new music and I was unaware. I had my chance... But I'm so greatful for this legacy. It's my honor to have the best band in the world as my favourite band, and as a family too.
Thank you Linkin Park and dear Chester for fighting on our side.

[slow hound]

https://youtu.be/no779AbKGaQ?si=02MeKqzRIqlwtKl8

I watch this video of him all the time

Cuz it always shows how amazing and kind he was to ppl

I hope he stays himself in heaven :)

[sullen coral]

This might be more of a #🎵│lp-music thing, but after hearing given up, and that insane scream, it goes to show how much of an impression chester made, because some live shows he couldn't even pull off the 17 second scream, he'd do it in two screams, this message sounded a lot better in my head, showing that chester himself couldn't even top some of his talents, feats, whatever, it just goes to show how much of an impression he's had on the music world, we have truly lost a legend, I like seeing how many bands got influenced by chester and his many talents

Chester was a true legend, and legends never die, if they stick with you, they never left, they may of left this world, but haven't left the hearts of millions

[echo halo]

“I’ve never been perfect, but neither have you.” he even admitted.

[solemn stirrup]

Wow I had an insane dream this morning! I had never felt like this before. God. I was in something like the funeral of Chester😓. And maybe something like a tribute event at the same time. Almost every one I know was there. Some were emotionally upset I remember. I was crying though unable to stop. I really felt that. There were speaches and presentations. But most important Linkin Park were performing! I don't think Chester showed up but it was like he was present 🥹 ears:. I could hear him singing together with Mike while lp where playing their songs. (Many of them, I sure remember numb, final masquerade, Leave out all the rest, in the end, in pieces and waiting for the end). Mike also gave me his hand. He asked me something. I couldn't say a word however. Nothing. The dream lasted a lot. I can't describe the mixed feelings for all this. I woke up and my face was full of tears (I didn't know this is possible)

I'll say it again
I love you guys
And thank you Linkin Park! ❤️❤️❤️

[fathom frost]

reminds me of some dream i had. lp was performing at some random place, i got to meet them and for some reason i was allowed into their studio. they were showing me everything they had ever done, and then it was like mike and chester wanted to teach me how to make music, best dream i ever had

that’s a bittersweet dream my guy. i love that.

[solemn stirrup]

Yes it is!
And I do too

[slim pawn]

wow what a dream, I can imagine the mixed emotions you were feeling

[old zinc]

That’s crazy, I had a dream just yesterday and he was there - singing on stage in front of me.
That’s the first time it’s ever happened to me.
During that day I’d seen Papa Roach’s new video for ‘Leave A Light On’, focusing on suicide prevention - they had dedicated that particular performance in Chester’s memory, and it made me think of him a lot all day.
Props to PR for thinking of him 🪳

[robust tide]

I sit daily, not a moment thinking about Chester. He was one of the nicest people on the planet. Saved millions but could not save himself. Your sacerfice will never be forgotten. LP4VER

[glad valley]

I wish you were here to share Halloween with us happy Halloween chester 🫂🫂 🥲🎃🎃🎃🎃

[rotund parrot]

as well as these

[sullen coral]

I had one dream where I held Chester's hand, I don't know if I was saving him from something, but that was the first time I've had a dream about chester

[light nova]

I've never had an lp dream but hopefully one day

[trim panther]

May you Love never end and If you need a friend there is a Seat alongside me. Its almost Like Chester is telling us: im Not Here any longer but my music will Always be there for you all and there are still good People Here and i need you to remember that you are one of them. My Love for LP will Always be there.

Chester you are so missed today, People that Just want to see everyone Happy, that are telling No one how to be and i Just want to Support you in Just being who you are. Rest in Peace Legend❤️

Chester, it so heartbroken when you died😭😭😭

[gritty bronze]

On a more uplifting note, has anyone seen the “Dead by Sunrise in Jimmy Kimmel” interview?

[upper zenith]

Reading this thread is so lovely, a lot of us miss you Chester...

[thorn parcel]

I'm not gonna quote a song from LP but Chester, we all heard how hurt you were, you took so much and you made the best out of this, it sadly took your life but for the loss of yours you saved millions. You're such an inspiration and from day to day everyone is missing you even more than ever. You tried everything you could but in the end it was too much. You did good and you redeemed yourself, you helped so many of us and now you still do, you'll always watch over us all. May you rest in forever peace now, Chester Bennington. forever.

I cried while typing this, this all just hurts so bad.

[obsidian quail]

help me

[solemn stirrup]

With what my friend

[obsidian quail]

idk, mental health ig

[somber totem]

I cried my eyes out the day Chester passed, gone too soon but not forgotten

[echo halo]

Chester may be gone, but his soul and legacy, never.

For as long as we continue to make Chester proud by honoring all the great things he have done (which there are endless amounts of them), he’ll always be with us.

I’ll make sure to introduce Linkin Park to my future children.

I’ll show what makes them great.

[slim pawn]

I already did. 3 and 5, they love them 😊❤️

[echo halo]

Just remember: You’re never too young nor old to appreciate Linkin Park.

[glad valley]

After few months I watched your video again I I think you were really have lots of fan in my home country also came from most banded country you said everything about injustice it was very true if you were here I know that you will help us 🙏💔🫠😭😭😔😔

And what everything you say there's nothing has changed we get worse

[minor hinge]

You may not longer be with us, but your legacy lives on, Chester.
And to everyone who is struggeling in the moment:🫂

[vivid fiber]

hearing Chester's voice never gets me tired.

we miss you, Chester, but your legacy and music will live on forever in our hearts. ♥️

[supple spear]

i always wanted to meet chester.

[untold sail]

Same here I’d love to tell him thank you for everything

[normal heart]

True @vivid fiber

[normal heart]

I miss Chester Bennington that he always sings on all concert and i will never stop became a linkin park fan

[delicate forge]

think about it again.

youve met him

[supple spear]

how

[trim panther]

Through His Music i guess that What you mean

[delicate forge]

[fathom frost]

Almost everyday i cry because chester is dead, i really hope he could just come back and be happy and would just die at a old age or just never die. I miss him very much.

[old zinc]

Reading the things that are said in this thread is like experiencing a figurative kick in the chest, every time.

[sullen coral]

He may be gone psychically, but he will live on in the millions of hearts that loved their music

[fathom frost]

I really want chester back, he is the best thing that ever existed. I mean, did he do anything wrong to other? Never read or heard abt him being a bad person

[sullen coral]

There were some real acts of kindness from him

[fathom frost]

Exactly, I can't imagine a person more perfect than chester.

[sullen coral]

Off topic but he had such an infectious smile (I've said that before but I am not wrong)

[fathom frost]

Yesss, his smile alyways cheers me up, sadly I won't be able to ever see it IRL.

[sullen coral]

Atleast we still have moments of his kindness

[fathom frost]

True

[obsidian quail]

I'm absolutely fed up of life and there's nothing to look forward to or enjoy anymore, time to binge Linkin Park while sleeping cuz dreams are better than reality at this point - thank you LP and Chester for making these songs that are basically my lifeline now, because without them I'm sure I would have lost the sanity required to even type this message properly.

[fathom frost]

May Chester not be alive anymore, ill still remember everthing he has done for others. May ive never met him but ill believe he is a good person and i do think he is a good person. I miss him very much. Rest in peace Chester

Hello,
Friendly reminder this thread is not for venting, rather to send positive CB memories and/or thoughts. If you need to vent, please ask in #💬│general if anyone is available to chat with in DMs. ✨

[fathom frost]

Hey, may i ask what counts as a vent and what counts as CB memories?

[fair gazelle]

vent = venting about life
memories/thoughts = your post above mine

[fathom frost]

Ahh alright, thank you!

[normal heart]

If Chester Bennington didnt die i can go the concert on argentina and SEE at him
Rip Chester 1976-2017

[obsidian quail]

I saw people venting here before so I thought we could but okay I understand

[fathom frost]

I was doubting writing this at first but, I really felt like I needed to. Chester, I don’t think I have felt this low in a long, long, time. And I don’t just mean that as in, “Oh man I’m feeling down today.” But very low, which I know you can relate too. Every single day just seems to get more and more difficult, and I don’t know what to do anymore, everything just seems pointless to me at this point. I have been feeling like this for about two months now, and I don’t know why. I just want it to stop and go away which it does now and then, but it always comes back to tear me down when I least expect it to. I’m feeling like I’m getting closer and closer to doing something that I shouldn’t do, but I’m still fighting but it’s just so difficult. I just want you to hug me Chester, because you’re the only person that I can really relate to right now. And you are hugging me, well your music is at least. I will continue to fight, for as long as I can but as for now, my future seems uncertain to say the least. ❤️

[somber totem]

I can still remember the day I listened to Valentines Day just in the past few weeks...everything, hurted more than it should have and it felt like it lasted a lifetime being alone for just a few minutes, but it felt longer than that. It sure did heal some deep scars and inner wounds that words can't describe. For me at least

[sullen coral]

It's hard to believe that chester went out the way he did sometimes

[obsidian quail]

Wasn't necessarily hard to believe, one listen of his music would convince you why, more so the timing - still tragic anyway

[reef path]

When December comes, I listen to My December. I see it as a comfort song. Chester had a way to connect to anyone who has gone through hard times. He will always be forever in my heart.

[obsidian quail]

"Tell them I couldn't help myself
And tell them I was alone
Tell them I was the only one
And there's nothing that can stop me from going home"

Primo hits harder than ever these days

[echo halo]

I don’t want to remember Chester for that. I just want to remember all the great things he has done, and to say a lot would have been an understatement.

Remember what he wants: leave out all the rest.

[proud rivet]

Well said

[wintry whale]

A little random but watching the live video of One More Light really made me want to meet Chester and give him a warm hug

[obsidian quail]

No idea where you got the indication I only remember him for how he died, I just shared a relatable lyric for me

[fathom frost]

I dont know how to start this but, all the time i think about chester, how much i miss him, why did he khs? He didnt deserve that at all. He is most kindest person that ever excited. Im atleast happy we have those memories with him, ill never forget him and his act of kindnesses. Its sad he decided to go early, i wish he didnt. I miss you chester, Rest in Peace♡

[fathom frost]

I agree gone way too soon

[somber totem]

I don't blame him, I nearly did participate in that similar situation myself halfway through this year. It's not his fault he did what he did, he just couldn't find the support he needed at the time- but still. No one should have to go through what he did, please. Just know that someone out there does care, all you gotta do is reach out and ask. Rip Chester, the one who sang like angel and screamed like an absolute demon🤘🤍💜 If I do become a dad, I'll show them his music that touched millions- in a good way

[normal heart]

I want to SEE at him 😭😭😭

[normal heart]

Because Chester is the Best singer that i wish i can SEE at him but it's SO sad without him rip Chester

[sullen coral]

Everytime I listen to One More Light, it always hit like a f$#kin truck, it never doesn't make me tear up

Chester was always able to convey a sense of deep sadness in the song, it always hits home really hard, it doesn't ever let up

"There are things we can have, but can't keep" really hits hard

[little swan]

beautiful face

[somber totem]

By the time I heard the song come on in a live stream from a tribute band. I don't know why, but I couldn't help myself but cry

[obsidian quail]

ig thats wht your lookin for

i loved chester in the mtm days

[sullen coral]

"May your love never end, and if you need a friend, there's a seat here along side me" - Roads Untravelled
I just wanna hug the heck out of him while I bawl my eyes out

I saw a post on Instagram about roads untraveled and I just got so emotional from it

[somber totem]

D'awwe

So far the only to songs that made me cry my out out was Valentines Day and One More Light- Some days I just really do wish Chester didn't have to leave so soon

[untold cedar]

Even back when that song 1st came out, those last 2 lines always made me tear up, and catch in my throat when I tried to sing along. He was so good at emotionally connecting through his voice, even with just a couple short lines.

[minor hinge]

"This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone"
-My December

We love you, Chester
❤️

[safe wind]

I'm not sure there's much to say here other than all the same...Linkin Park's saved my life on numerous occasions. I'm a troubled individual myself, and me and my girlfriend are both Linkin Park fans. Chester man, we miss ya. I was just a kid bound to start high school when the tragedy happened. I grew up with Linkin Park, and that whole thing broke me. I'm not sure what I can say without possibly breaking the rules. I'm special needs, I don't know if saying that is against the rules. I'm going off track. Chester Bennington, we LP fans miss you and hope you're at peace man. Thanks for everything.

[little swan]

So sad his last album is OML

[safe wind]

Chester, why did you have to go so early, man?

[vast shell]

We all miss him...its truly a tragedy

[safe wind]

I was about to ask if he would've loved this server but that's speculation and i'm not doing that

[normal heart]

Chester got a suffer by his family divorced but he always became the most greatest singer ever from linkin park like músic from hybrid theory, meteora, collision course, minutes to midnight, etc.
I miss him 😥😥

[safe wind]

Don't we all??? He could scream like a demon and sing like an angel

[normal heart]

I know but i miss him

[safe wind]

My girlfriend even asked how Chester never lost his voice lol

And tbh I'm asking the same

That scream in Given Up is just nuts

[ionic flower]

my god, I miss him now more than ever. Even after so many years, I don’t really understand why the pain hasn’t disappeared. It genuinely feels like I’m getting stabbed with an ice pick. I’m wondering if there is something wrong with me at this point lol

but in any case….i love and miss you Chaz, your voice keeps me going ❤️

[somber totem]

Sometimes the most humorous and happy people are the ones that have suffered the most (in silence). They just know how to hide it well more than others

[trim panther]

Jesus that Hits so deep when i think about the Last Video from Chester with His Kids, even there you could See him Smile. 🫂🫂

[trim panther]

I do too, there is nothing wrong with you about Missing him that much

[echo halo]

If even the most impossible is actually possible, I want to change the timeline for once and for all.

You know what I want to do.

[echo halo]

“Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it isn’t there.”
Even though Chester appears to be smiling, we didn’t know what was he hiding inside.

However it happens, we really should never blame or resent Chester in any way, like he asked us to.

[trim panther]

He was struggling very hard, that can be Said for Sure. But this also Shows that He was fighting until the End, i will never blame Chester for anything, He was a great Men, a awesome Father and incredible Kind to anyone. I miss him so much right now, He was Always someone that could Guide light to someone in the Dark and through hard Times. My Sadness that He couldnt See that and do it for himself His bigger then Words ever can Show

[obsidian quail]

A banger album, wish we could've gotten more 😔

[molten halo]

have you ever had this feeling
that you have wanted to wuit every thing your good at
just because some others are better than you
i know its silly
but i hate this paranoia

"cause you dont know what youve done until its gone"

its the only line thats kinda helping my case

[safe wind]

Me too... 😔

[safe wind]

I most certainly don't blame or resent Chester in any way, that would be inappropriate of me to do

[vast shell]

I had an online ineraction on yt with someone. We were talking about Chaz and how hearing his voice is so surreal and enchanting. it's like he's there hugging me telling me it will be ok. He knew pain and helped others cope with it thru his music and i will be forever greatful for that. Always and forever. Fly high Chazzy 💙🕊️♡

[safe wind]

How the man never lost his voice is beyond me

How did he do it? He screamed for 17 seconds nonstop in Given Up then immediately hit a high note...how did he not blow out his vocal cords?

[vast shell]

He had incredible talent like no other

[normal heart]

Chester Bennington is My favorite singer i miss him. He sing like an angel and scream like a Demon
Rip chester 🕊️🕊️🕊️

[somber totem]

Years of practice my dude, you'd be surprised what humans are capable of

[trim panther]

Cause His Vocal Training was as unique as His Talent, yes im talking about the famos LPTV Clip when He did an Opera Voice Warm Up Just for Fun

[vast shell]

I don't think i saw that one

I'll have to look it up ltr

[trim panther]

It was Part of the Hollywoodbowl Tribute Concert when im Not mistaken, it was one of the Clips that Had been played that Day

[vast shell]

Very Interesting

[trim panther]

Its the Ma Ma Ma Clip

[sullen coral]

That clip where Mike said Chester sounded like Freddie Mercury and then proceeded to go to a high note was really funny

[vivid fiber]

That high note range gets me, I loved that clip.

[little swan]

[echo halo]

Mamamamamamamamamamaaaa (MAAAA)

Anyways, I bet Freddie was smiling from up there hearing Chester do that; and I sure do hope he’s sitting right next to Freddie now.

[limber ocean]

Hey

I miss him a lot lately.

I hope he’s proud of me

💔

[echo halo]

He’d be surely proud seeing you all. Back in October 2020, we honored his craftmanship in Hybrid Theory’s 20th, and last March, we did it again with Meteora.

Aside from that however, we never stopped cherishing him and will never do.

[fathom frost]

yeah, i'll remember chester till the day i die

[vivid fiber]

Lifted a high note MAAAAAA!!!!

that clip makes me wanna improvise my vocal warmups.

[limber ocean]

Remember he’s watching over us. Especially during the holiday season. Now I miss him everyday and my heart is broken with the thought of never seeing him again. Don’t be like me and dwell on the past.

Remember to always #MakeChesterProud

🖤🎄

[unreal orchid]

Chester, thank you for helping me to hold on. I promise I won't give up, thank you for all the people you help and sorry we couldn't do the same

[vast shell]

Guys i was on Pinterest goin thru my home feed. Some LP pics are in there and i came across an old tweet from chester. "I want all your lives to have purpose& passion. I wish to meet all of you so i can tell you how much i love all of you" Dude this had me tearing up. I miss him. Fly high 💙🕊

(I'll send pic in https://discord.com/channels/1066086127993368647/1090287630027075585)

[sullen coral]

I always cry so much more when seeing the MV to OML, the song itself is enough to make me tear up, but the video itself, that's something way more powerful

[solemn stirrup]

I feel so lonely. No matter what is happening or what I'm doing.😔
Listening to linkin Park is one of the few things that can soften that 💜

And I am very glad for this

[molten halo]

Chester is a man we can all relate to

his songs and lyrics are powerful and help us through every inch of our lives

[normal heart]

Chester is the most of the Best singer ever that i heard, but i was listening linkin park one more light slowed with decay and without decay i feel sad about Chester.
Who cares if one more light goes out
Rip Chester🥺🥺

[vivid fiber]

wrong ping.

[slim pawn]

You are not alone ❤️

[solemn stirrup]

💜

[glad valley]

Sorry chester I couldn't come to you any concert because of stupid age rules if I know what will happen to you and I become a lp fan earlier I think I had chances to meet you goodbye my legend 😔🫂

[glad valley]

We can hear his pain on one more light but we didn't know that would be happened 😞

[normal heart]

https://youtu.be/xQCc9dpdGpc?si=fQJgjWyJkZk039oZ

This is the music of one more light that i was sad about Chester Bennington

[tight parcel]

I never met you chester, but I love you so much. You and your voice comfort me in ways nobody has been able to, and its kind of scary to me, because I've never "connected" with another singer like this, despite how many different bands I love.
Each day, you motivate me to keep going in some way chester, and I can't thank you enough for that. Linkin Park is such a comfort band for me, and I relate to their music on such personal levels
Thank you for making the world a better place chester, I miss you so much and wish you were still here with us

[vast shell]

So i keep getting a recomendation for Already Over with AI Chester and it just weirds me out whenever i open my YouTube

[trim panther]

I keep getting Ai Covers of Chester and it Freaks me Out, Not only cause its so disrespectful but also cause im having Derealization Symptoms cause its so Fake and thats very Dangerous when Sometimes everything around feels Fake, this is Ai Thing is Disrespecting Chaz Legacy and Talent.

[vast shell]

I once was pro ai covers and then i realized how truly upsetting and wrong it is. It bothers me so much now. Especially since Mike is very against ai covers and stuff like that as well

[slim pawn]

Can't you just dismiss those videos? In time you won't get any more Chester AI recommendations. And I agree, it's disrespectful.

[obsidian quail]

Best to dismiss those videos like @slim pawn said if you all feel uncomfortable with it, also please remember people view this in different ways, what one thinks is fine and acceptable may be seen as disrespectful by someone else. This is a topic with no clear answer and has had subjective interpretation play a big role in it

Best to ignore those videos and let the ones who DO want to enjoy them do what they want, plus we all know no AI algorithm is capable of even coming close to Chester (or any singer's) magnificent voice.

[echo halo]

You can delete your YouTube history or at least remove any Chester AI videos in your watch history. That way you won’t be recommended videos like that anymore.

[echo halo]

If Mike is against a hologram, so let alone a robot taking a role of his voice.

[vagrant geyser]

let's move on from the AI topic. Listen to mish3lka's advice and please let's keep the thread on topic and positive ✨

[glad valley]

Guys I don't know what are you feeling about Chester right now but I remember when I noticed I cried about him about 3 days 🥲🫂

[vast shell]

💙🫂

[glad valley]

Life is so hard 😭

[vast shell]

It really is but we gotta stay strong. "When life leaves us blind love keeps us kind"~Chaz

[glad valley]

Chesters life was awful the only things can save him was music

[slim pawn]

Yeah I cried for almost half a year in 2017 when it happened. I still cry, sometimes it feels like it was yesterday. Many people miss him. But he will always be here with us in his music ❤️

[glad valley]

When I became a fan it was in 2020 I think and I remember I got totally shocked when I noticed

[slim pawn]

I understand.
I am a fan since 2000/2001, Chester got me through the worst times of my life and saved my life. It hurts that he's gone. I couldn't believe it when I read the news. I think it will never stop hurting. I'm still thankful he was here for me when I needed him. He still is. Always ❤️

[glad valley]

Oh I see me either lp saved my life too

[fathom frost]

Things havent been easy since chester passed, i cry every night because i was never able to every seen him live and i miss him very much, it feels like after his passing the world has changed inti something cruel and miserable, he made everything better. Rest in peace Chester.

[sullen coral]

I had another dream about chester, he covered some pretty sensitive topics I won't cover here, I miss him

[echo halo]

I’ll still never forget that dream of me seeing Linkin Park busking at a sidewalk

[vast shell]

I had a dream that there was an LP event and i met the guys. I tried taking a selfie with Chaz and Mike lol. My favorite dream ever

There we cafeteria tables set up and i think i was sitting next to mike and across feom chester but im not sure exactly. This dream was a few months ago

But i remember talking about it in https://discord.com/channels/1066086127993368647/1068601929183269047 and i described it pretty well. I screenshotted it when i was done typing lol.

[sullen coral]

I would've liked to meet chester atleast once, I regret getting into lp so late in life

[vast shell]

Hey guys. I had a great lunch earlier and i went to my guitar class and suddenly im hit with a wave of depression and i started missing Chester. A lot. I cried a few times. I didn't want anyone to notice but the every time i wiped the tears away they came back. I never met him but i feel a connection to him through his music.

[little swan]

Merry Christmas Chester….. my December…..

[normal heart]

Chester i hope You Will be have fun at heaven during the christmas

[untold sail]

I was recommended a post of a memorial for Chester with OML playing in the background. Always nice to see people still loving and honoring Chester. We miss you buddy

[sullen coral]

Every time I listen to "Place to Start" I always hear that "Hey man" from Mark Wakefield (I'm assuming that it's mark) and it sounds so much like chester to me, like he's talking to Mike, it just sounds like chester to me

[vagrant geyser]

it's Mark Fiore, the band's and Mike's videographer

[vast shell]

Hey yall so im feelin a bit down and sometimes when im in my feels i put on emotional music. One more light came on. As sad as this song is in a way it is also uplifting. It gives me hope. What i mean by this is tragedies are heartbreaking but they inspire me to remember them and keep going. Now heavy is on. I miss Chester every single day but I keep going for him and myself.

Idk if that makes sense to anyone else but it does to me. I didn't know how else to word it. I just felt i needed to get that out

[obsidian quail]

I was so upset when I came across the old reviews of when OML was released, I hope people have realized that just because something is different does not mean the artist did not put effort and love into it, and people should just not listen to stuff if they do not like it instead of trash talking it, I feel bad that it took Chester's passing for people to appreciate the album, if i was in his place I doubt I would be able to deal with it myself. RIP Chester, I love all your music and I know many other people do as well, your legacy will only die when the heart of the last LP fan stops beating, which will NEVER happen!

[sharp vine]

100% agree with everything said!

[echo halo]

Chester, we deeply apologize if we ever treated One More Light harshly.

If I had to be honest, I was also part of the side where I felt One More Light was very distinct from their usual rock sound. That was even long before I became an LP soldier; nowadays, especially after having listened HT to THP, I can see it clearly now.

[vast shell]

But you gave it another chance and that's all that matters imo❤

[echo halo]

True.

[spice needle]

I discovered Linkin Park when my music teacher played In the End and Numb in the class. And I would say that was one of the greatest days in my life.

I think it was somewhere in July or August this year.

Chester has such a beautiful voice, and his voice was comfort. Thank the entire band for writing such amazing songs. Thank Chester and Mike for performing them so excellently.

I heard One More Light on the car just a few weeks ago, and I had never been just as happy when a song I know came on than OML.

Linkin Park comforts my stress but also makes me feel like a teen boy in the 2000s.

Thank you Chester and the band.

[fathom frost]

I always have wondered, what if we noticed Chester his suicide awernesses and sign, and saved him so we would've prevented his suicide.

I just can't get it out of my head, why didn't any of us notice the signs in OML (dont take any offense)

I just really miss Chester and I wish he would've been here to spend Christmas with his loved ones and didn't commit suicide, I don't think he realized how loved he was and he didn't deserve to be like that.

Rest in peace Chester, merry christmas❤️

[fathom frost]

chesters death is like a reminder. i always get scared now when i read lyrics especially from bring me the horizon nowadays. please take care of your loved ones

[olive nacelle]

I been improving my health and it's been to Linkin Park. Every time I workout, I listen to LP, their live concerts mostly. Chester was super into fitness and he's inspired me a lot to be active. Watching him perform and seeing how energetic he was on stage, gives me energy.
Rest in peace Chester, I got my spin bike finally and will bike 50 kilometres to your music

[echo halo]

There’s a livestream that is literally Chester leading a yoga event or something!

[fathom frost]

Thats nicee

[glad valley]

Hey legend what's up I have good news I finally decided to listen to lp again after long years but this time you gave new vibes that I can finally enjoy your voice and the sound of music I'm not sad anymore to huty I can finally makes you proud and enjoy your music I miss you so much please don't mad at me when I quit lp this time is deferent 🖤🙏🖤🙏🖤🙏🖤🙏🖤🙏

You still gave me emotional but I can fight with it

I did it because I really miss old moments

[echo halo]

Listening to LP makes me forget that Chester isn’t even with us anymore.

As well as hearing the live concerts.

[unreal orchid]

"Even if you're not with me I'm with you" - With You lyrics

[olive nacelle]

I'm in college, one of the projects I had to do earlier in fall term was about Chester, just a simple project about his life. In high school I also wrote an essay about the band up until Hybrid Theory came out, using Jeff Blue's book for most of the info. If I have another writing project it'll be for Chester again.
Once my life is stable and I have enough saved up, I am getting a portrait tattoo of Chester, I will pay plenty for it to look good. He is my idol, my role model and my inspiration, a tattoo is an amazing tribute for him - he was so passionate about tattoos and spoke so proudly about Club Tattoo

[obsidian quail]

I'm becoming more and more skilled at, let's say, putting on a facade. Ask anyone around me, I appear all smiles and funny and happy, but if I'll be honest, I've had close calls to doing the unspeakable and even tested the waters in it many times.

LP's music and lyrics are the one of the only things that's helping me let out my emotions, sometimes I make up scenarios in my head that I was the one who wrote this stuff to express my feelings, which just shows how relatable LP's music is.

I'll forever and ever be thankful to Chester and the rest of the band for making music for two decades which I can relate to the end of time, please use my example and check up on your loved ones, especially the ones who seem extremely happy and carefree, not everything is at it seems, and people who usually go through this are masters at putting on a facade, like me, like Chester, and potentially like your loved one. Please check on them, or it might be too late.

[fathom frost]

It's hard to believe we're spending Christmas and new years eve again without Chester.

I miss him very much, I wish he was still here to spend Christmas with his loved ones❤️

[vivid fiber]

Chester's voice in My December is melodic. his clean voice will always be nostalgic. ♥️ we miss you Chester!

[fathom frost]

if all tears that were shed for him were to be collected then new oceans would be formed

[obsidian quail]

an entire world of water!

[fathom frost]

I've cried so much because of chester, I would actually love it if this was true

[fathom frost]

man chester had such an angelic voice he was a gift R.I.P chester is always gonna live in our hearts. his legacy aint never gonna die 🕊️

[fathom frost]

he looks so exhausted and done in this clip

https://youtube.com/shorts/9f3qL7pR52Q?si=pYfulpHoXQzgkbw7

[vagrant geyser]

you would too after playing a non-stop high energy show for almost 2 hours almost every day. I saw him live during this tour and he was full of energy and so happy to play the shows and meeting the fans. He always gave his all 💯

[olive nacelle]

Not only that, but he was 41 and had been screaming since he was like 15. I'd be exhausted too

Even the band said he was at his best during 2017 when it came to energy and fitness

[sullen coral]

He always gave 1000%

[safe wind]

That he did.

[olive nacelle]

I get out of breath just trying to sing Numb while fry screaming. This man being able to perform 2 hour setlists while screaming, singing, playing guitar and jumping around after dealing with rehab for a broken ankle is insane. He was at the gym all the time, I think Talinda said he worked out 2 hours a day or something like that

[vast shell]

Sometimes when im alone and playing music, i grab a broom or hairbrush or somth like a microphone and imagine im performing. I'll close my eyes and see Chester and Mike and even though it's just pretend It's fun. Yeah im 16 and idc. Call me childish but sometimes after a long day it hypes me up again. And for that I am greatful. If it weren't for Chester and his music idk what i would do. Thank you Chester for providing amazing music 💙🤘😎

[olive nacelle]

I'm 19 and even I do that. Especially while I'm cycling I love to sing the songs with the band and pretend I'm in the audience

[vast shell]

pretending im on stage or in the audience is an experience like no other

[solemn stirrup]

Pretending being in the audience is insanely perfect experience! And at these times I feel like one day I'll be there. Only later I do realise again what "no concerts" literally means

[vast shell]

Yeah.

[sullen coral]

I know I've probably said this before, but it is hard to grasp that we are living without chester

"The reminders pull the floor from your feet" - One More Light
Oml is full of relatable lines I think

[proud hound]

the entire album is just beautiful

[sharp vine]

"In the Kitchen one more chair than you need" always hits me

[olive nacelle]

Exactly. I know Chester is up there in Heaven and his spirit lives on through his family, friends and of course LP fans

For the Hollywood Bowl show in 2017, it's like you could feel him. Even though he had passed away, it was just like his presence was there

[woven cedar]

I don't have the strength to watch it

[olive nacelle]

Some parts of it make me cry a lot, but overall the concert is beautiful and I would suggest maybe just skipping the sadder parts. The first time I watched it, I started bawling soon as Talinda came on stage and gave her speech, also when Mike performed the new song he wrote.
Jonathan Davis did amazing on One Step Closer though you might wanna watch that

[woven cedar]

I am way to sensitive for those things

[trim panther]

You have

[vast shell]

Me too

[trim panther]

@woven cedar You both are Way stronger then you think, i couldnt Fight Social Anxiety or PTSD, my Depression keeps me busy enough. You both are very sensetive Heros

[vast shell]

Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that💙

[trim panther]

It Doesnt Hurt to End the Year by saying the Truth does it? You have been very Kind to me and everyone Else and to do that with PTSD is very strong and powerful

[fathom frost]

I love the way you help other but you're struggling hard as f also. I respect you really, Stay strong 💪 ❤️

[slim pawn]

I watched it once, the day after it happened in 2017. Cried through the whole thing. It was painful and beautiful at the same time. I regret nothing but I'm not able to watch it for the second time.

[minor hinge]

A new year started (here in New Zealand) without our beloved friend Chester😭
I hope the world never forgets him, his voice, his character, his songs
RIP Chester

[manic sail]

Hey Chester... We're on the last day of 2023 and it's crazy. I want to let you know that there's still so many millions of people (including me) thinking about you every day and tearing up while thinking about you. The last few weeks felt different and we miss you so much. Man it's already been 6 and a half years. You can't imagine how much I regret to not have seen you live while I was still able to. Miss you chester

[thick girder]

[fathom frost]

In the new year chester will be 7 years gone on July 20th, I can't get it out of my head.

[vast shell]

that's insane..

[vast shell]

🫂🫂🫂

[fathom frost]

It's been so long since he passed and still nobody forgot him, hope he'll never be forgotten

[vast shell]

"keep me in your memory leave out all the rest"

[fathom frost]

His songs make me cry the most

[manic sail]

He asked "who cares if one more light goes out". Man... Chester's performance of one more light in Birmingham 2017 was so amazing with the fans touching him and him holding back tears - still he sang like an angel. one last time he needed us all to roar. Shortly after that, so many people started to care that this one light went out. It was a very special one. And still - after these almost 7 years all these people still care. We kept him in our memory

[olive nacelle]

When I think of Chester, I like to think happy memories. Yes it's sad he's passed away, but he dedicated his life to music and spreading joy. He was a philanthropist and helped with Music For Relief and has done other charitable work especially with sick children. When I think of Chester I want to feel happy that we got to exist at the same time as him, rather than cry that he's not here anymore

Not to mention we are grateful to exist at the best period for music, when we can listen to it almost whenever we want. Imagine if we could only listen to Linkin Park at concerts like people did with music for a long time

[obsidian quail]

HAPPY NEW YEAR CHESTER I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING IT UP THERE! ❤️

[old zinc]

Lmao this comes off as a vaguely unhinged message, but I vibe with it
Happy New Year, Ches
I do hope you’re resting easy 🩵

[obsidian quail]

Ig lol just tryna spread some love

[old zinc]

I know, I vibe 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

[little swan]

CHESTER, HAPPY NEW YEAR

[unreal orchid]

Thank you for saving me chazzy

[olive nacelle]

Chester, I just did a full body workout for nearly 2 hours, all to your love performances. Thank you for helping me get through a another year. Happy new years in Heaven🕊️🩷

[safe wind]

Hey Chester. It's 2024 now. We're still listening to Linkin Park. That light will only go out when the last Linkin Park fan dies...which will never happen in my eyes. Happy new year, Chester. Hope you're at peace, wherever you are.

[solemn stirrup]

I could use thousand words and still say so few. So I'll just say that linkin Park is one of the best things that has happened to me. Finding this server is an other one. Thank you so so much for being so kind and forming this unique family. You are all really amazing and so good persons. I know that many have been struggling in life. My heart is along with your battles and I know you can go on making Chester proud. Chester, Linkin Park and the lp family have been helping me so much to go through difficult things and I have become a better person too I think due to these. I love you Chester, I love you Linkin Park, I love you guys. Happy new year to all of you! 💜💜💜

[minor hinge]

You helped me live to see 2024.
RIP Chester
We miss you❤️

[untold sail]

Happy New Year Chester!!!!! We miss you and are thinking of you!!!

[fathom frost]

I'll always remember chester no matter what, I'll never forget him he is the greatest thing that would've ever existed.

Hope you're doing well up there chester, Rest I peace❤️‍🩹❤️

2024 is the year of the dragon and that's Chester's Chinese zodiac. Gonna honour him this year by working a lot on my fitness, listening to LP and of course, surviving and making it to 2025🐉

[echo halo]

Chester Bennington. Chris Cornell. Freddie Mercury. Jimi Hendrix. Michael Jackson. David Bowie. Heaven must be rocking hard.

[thick girder]

I’d like to hear songs that Chester and Chris are both in.

[proud rivet]

They did Crawling live once together 😊 there might be other songs, I’m not sure.

[regal pine]

Also Hunger Strike

(live, I mean)

[fair gazelle]

Reminder: this thread is to share positive memories and vibes about CB, not conspiracy theories

[slim pawn]

A dragon. Seems so appropriate 🙂

[delicate forge]

missed a few but awesome 🔥

Earth has plenty more talents.

[olive nacelle]

I think he mentioned it being the reason for his back tattoos or chest tattoo with dragons. He seemed to like zodiacs, mentioning the fish on his bicep were for Picses

I love how every one of his tattoos has its own meaning

[fathom frost]

What does his stand for?

[slim pawn]

I don't remember the exact meaning but it was something about his transformation and ascendence from his past issues.

[olive nacelle]

He said it was because he was some sort of fire and water thing relating to zodiacs again, I don't know much about zodiacs though

[olive nacelle]

He has 5 dragons on him in total if you count his leg so each of them may have seperate meaning

[fathom frost]

Ahh cool!

[vagrant geyser]

because he was born in between Aries (fire sign) and Pisces (water sign) "I'm like a fire steamy watery guy"

that's what he said in the Frat Party dvd lol

[olive nacelle]

Yea that's the quote I was trying to remember 🤣

Fitting for his personality

Words to live by

[little swan]

On July 20th, the world was shocked and heartbroken to learn of the passing of Chester Bennington. The next day, Live Nation issued the following statement, "We are incredibly saddened to hear about the passing of Chester Bennington. The Linkin Park ‘One More Light’ North American Tour has been cancelled and refunds are available at point of purchase. Our thoughts go out to all those affected." We Love you Chester!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ (was from lplive)

[vivid fiber]

that explains the tattoo.

[robust tide]

Every song I listen to by Linkin Park, I will ALWAYS remember you Chester. The songs are unforgettable, as when I listened to Numb I realized the lyrics. Just made my cry. Rest in Peace.

[limpid radish]

I was watching the music video for one more light and I checked the comments, and most if not all of them were just, letters to chester, telling him they miss him or thanking him for helping them through rough spots, and I thought that was both heartwarming and sad, we miss you chester

[safe wind]

Hey Chester. We still miss you. The day Linkin Park dies is the day the last Linkin Park fan dies...which will never come as far as I am concerned. Rest peacefully, Chaz.

[unreal orchid]

I see what you mean, LP save or help so many people, even now. There are many people that discovered LP after he passed and they still miss Chester

[normal heart]

I hope Chester is with his pet named bruiser playing with him on heaven . Rip Chester and bruiser

[untold sail]

Thank you for all the music you gave us Chester. We all miss you

[vast shell]

Chaz i keep seeing clips of your past performances and some silly moments. You were truly amazing and outstanding! More than words can ever describe. I never met you but it feels like i have through your music and these clips i come accross. Thanks for everything Chester

[solemn stirrup]

I am so proud and happy and lucky and blessed and honoured to be a Linkin Park fan!
Thank you all!
Chester, Linkin Park and friends
🤍💖🙏🫶

[obsidian quail]

I'll be honest, I've probably been through the hardest period of my entire life recently, and there are few things that keep me together more than music, especially LP.
Huge props to not just Chester, but everyone else on the band too, all 6 guys are equally beloved by me and I admire them so much
That being said, RIP Chester, you may be gone, but you inspire me and thousands of others to keep fighting every day.
Rest in peace, you fu legend

[old zinc]

Hear hear!

[obsidian quail]

and yes guys stop forgetting about Reanimation, RECHARGED and Collision Course when we mention LP albums lol

[spice needle]

Hey Chez,
I know you probably don’t know who I am and that I became a fan of LP very very late but, thanks for existing.

[vast shell]

Hey It's never to late to become a fan of a certain band or artist. Im trying to listen to more stuff and these bands are older than LP. just remember it's never too late

[spice needle]

Yeah, I just wish I found them earlier
But I wasn’t even born until ATS came out so 💀

[normal heart]

Chester thanks for visiting on argentina live i hope if i'm gonna die i'm gonna visit

[hushed herald]

hi

ive been thinking about chester a lot and the mark that he left on the world

he left us too soon

[fathom frost]

"Who cares if one more light goes out?"
Well, we all do, Chester!❤️

[sullen coral]

I keep forgetting that chester left us in 2017, videos constantly remind me that he's gone

And that he's be gone for 7 years

[vivid fiber]

"the sound of your voice painted in my memories even if you're not with me and I'm with you" hope you're still with us in our hearts, Chester. ♥️

[normal heart]

I cried while i watched this videos

(goodbye Chester Bennington if You ask me what is this means)

[vast shell]

ABSOLUTELY Beautiful

[slim pawn]

I don't know whether I'm even allowed to miss you so much Chester because it feels like this should be reserved for your family and close friends only. But the fact is I do, and I still can't understand how I can miss you more than the people I've lost in my family. I finally got to your concert in June 2017. Everybody knows what happened a month after.

I don't know how but it feels like I've lost my best friend in the whole world. Your music and your voice changed my life and saved it in the worst times. You screamed for me when I couldn't. And you still do. Watching all those memories and interviews, listening to the music, it's like you are still here. 23 years and you are still with me. But then I remember and it always gets me to tears. It still feels like you left us too soon, I don't know whether this will ever change.

But I sincerely hope you are okay now. I wish it for you. Rest in peace my friend

[vast shell]

I understand that so much. It does feel weird to miss him this much. I never saw him live or met him but the loss is tragic. His music saved us. You are not alone in your feelings here💙🫂

[solemn stirrup]

I understand too @slim pawn @vast shell . I also feel pain for his absence and his story and I love him so much. But the fact that I learned who he is after his passing makes me think bad of myself in a similar way.
I start to think though that these unexpectedly massive bonds reveal how huge he was/is.
Please don't attack your feelings. There's nothing useful in that.
We might need to accept and express what we feel first and then let go
-"Remember all the sadness and frustration, and let it go"🥺
(I love these lyrics. Also now I'm saying things but to be fair I myself hardly do apply irl. I hope you do better. All guys)

[vast shell]

I love and agree with everying you said. Thank you💙

@solemn stirrup @vast shell and everyone thanks for the support, I needed that yesterday 💙🫂

[old zinc]

I, also, only came to really appreciate him after he was gone - it makes me feel the same as you described.
Just letting you know you aren’t alone and your feelings are valid 🖤

[minor hinge]

It's 2024 and we still miss you so much.
Soon it's gonna be 7years😭
RIP Chester ❤️

[echo halo]

I can’t believe it’ll be very close to being a decade without you, Chester.

@olive nacelle happy thoughts
