Chester Bennington

How are you coping?

Still in mourning for Chester obviously, but I try to keep busy by working, binge-watching funny stuff on YouTube, and putting the finishing touches on my upcoming trip to California.

What about y'all? If the thread comes off as insensitive, I'm sorry.

Chester autograph

invalid@example.com (LPLC24) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 20:57:15 +0000

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen Chester sign his name like this before?
I have a signed t shirt that I bought on eBay 6 years ago. I am sure it is legit because it also came with a photo of Joe signing the shirt at a table.
However i have never seen another example online of Chester signing his name as Chaz.
Anyway, I'm not sure what to do with the shirt. It is turning yellow now, I was considering cutting the autographs off it and putting them into mount displays.

Hi. I'm back for another rant. Sorry if I come across as overly negative or a doomer, but it's really hard to try to earn let alone keep a positive attitude in this social climate since Chester's passing.

You'd think I'd be super enthusiastic given that I have since finally moved out of my parents' and have a place of my own and a steady paying job, but sadly it's not the case for me. My antidepressants have only kept a bare minimum for my mental state and I still get stressed out easily...

On life: What the passing of one of my idols taught me about grief, loss and being alive.

I’ve always had a somewhat distrustful relationship with the question “How are you?” I felt it always lead to overly shallow and insincere answers. It’s difficult to get anyone to reveal much about themselves when asking such questions. When I was somewhat younger, I asked a group of people a different question, “If you could have three wishes, what would you choose?”, I figured this was a better way of learning who they really were and what mattered to them.

“To always be happy” came the...

Honestly...Chester is my brother. Not by blood, not by association but by the power of music. I love you Chester. I joined this forum a whole 17 years ago out of my love for this band. I miss Chester so damn much like it's a part of me that's gone. I wish I could have helped him...I wish he didn't feel the pain that he did...I wish so many things. In any case he will live forever through the amazing music he made. His voice transcends generations. A true artist.

........went all "You know I CO-WROTE that song In The End".

Read that it was inspired by Chester's poem in the Alan Cross guide to Linkin Park.

Yet when Eivis Duran asked about In The End in 2017, Chester just says "Mike wrote that sucker." and nothing else. Chester always did that. (He also talks about Julia Michaels being a the prolific writer....being the writer of Heavy)

As a matter of fact, only way he even connects himself to...

Strange

invalid@example.com (starkz) — Wed, 05 May 2021 09:30:53 +0000

So Chester passed on 20th July 2017, a day that I will never forget and still haunts me.

Talinda then remarries on January 4th 2020, so apparently if Chester was Talinda's Soul Mate, how comes she married someone else so quickly?

Granted she's not expected to stay single all her life, but come on, 3 years after? How long was she courting this new man? They must have known each other for quite some time.

I just don't get it....personally I think it's very shady.

Video of Chester Bennington on Soundgarden's Superunkown

invalid@example.com (nitotosi) — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 03:35:08 +0000

Hi everybody,

Does anyone know where I can find the video of Chester commenting on Soundgarden's Limo Wreck, around the time the record Superunknown was turning 20.

Thanks!

For as long as he could, he really did make music his life.

He yo guys and gals! I didn't know where to place this thread so it seemed like the Chester Bennington section was the right fit as Jaime is his son.
So in short,
Jaime released his first album "Then" back in 2020 and it's available on Spotify and iTunes.
I listened to some of it on iTunes just now and it's not what you'd expect! Haha it's very interesting and unique. Also it's free. Well kinda. If you pay for a subscription on iTunes or Spotify you can get the album for free.
I will...

What #MakeChesterProud Means to Me

invalid@example.com (HybridTheoryLMB) — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 03:38:51 +0000

I will be honest, I have avoided all things Linkin Park for months unless I was in total control of it. I've cried when Linkin Park songs came on in clubs, I've shut facebook when a news story about Chester appeared, because it was too much to deal with. I have just today watched the memorial gig on Youtube, after Mike released Post Traumatic the other day. When Chester died, it felt like hope had died with him. It has taken me a while, but I finally see how wrong that is.

It's been a while since I've last been active here. I couldn't listen to Linkin Park for a year since Chester passed away. Everytime I heard his voice, I would feel hollow and empty. I consciously blocked myself from listening to Linkin Park.
I randomly happened to hear a song couple days ago and Chester's voice made me feel alive again.
I searched Spotify for a compilation of Chester's best live performances but couldn't find any.
So, I captured as many as I could from Spotify, fully aware...

The dreaded anniversary is almost here. It's been tough. I wanted to share my thoughts with you guys. This community has been amazing this past year, and I know you guys will hopefully agree/empathise with the sentiment here more than anyone else.

Remember that you are loved, you are valued, you are worth more than you realise. <3

invalid@example.com (Autumn) — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 23:52:56 +0000

As a kid, I was a huge LP fan. Listened to them all the time. As I grew older the music my friends listened to started to take influence, and I didn't listen to any LP for a while.
One year and 4 months ago my fiance hanged himself. I found him, tried to save him, but was too late. A few months later I rediscovered Linkin Park. Now struggling with my own severe depression and substance abuse among other things, these songs now have a way deeper meaning to me than I could have ever imagined....

Chester tribute event in Perth, Western Australia

invalid@example.com (Narc85) — Thu, 15 Mar 2018 03:26:25 +0000

Hey guys,

I ran a memorial event for Chester in Perth, Western Australia last year. It was an awesome day with over 200 attendees. I also ran a charity raffle, giving away portraits and live photo canvases of Chester, plus a gold-edition Meteora vinyl from my personal collection. Proceeds went towards two charities.

We're about to do it all over again but rather than celebrate on the day Chester passed, we've opted to celebrate his birthday.

So, on Saturday, the 24th of March, we will be...

I really want a poster of Chester

invalid@example.com (Bk1025) — Thu, 01 Mar 2018 18:21:41 +0000

Everywhere I look though, none of them live up to what I want. My ideal poster would be the picture that LP tweeted following his death. Where he is standing in front of the crowd with everyone holding phones, lighters etc. Has anyone been able to get a poster of that or a poster that does him justice?
-Thanks

It's just starting to kick in how I took the Linkin Park experience for granted

invalid@example.com (kcg) — Sun, 14 Jan 2018 09:51:48 +0000

I didn't think a lot about it over the last seven weeks, but I'm just starting to have that disheartening feeling how I not only lost someone I looked up to and admired, but I now realize I took for granted the opportunity to really connect with the fan community when it mattered the most and when the band was really at their creative peak. For the longest time, I've not only lacked the courage to interact with others in real life, but I've never even felt comfortable talking to people on...

Memorial Tattoo

Hey guys.... I know everyone is mourning and everyone deals differently. I'm dealing with my pain by adding more ink to my body. I want a tattoo that has some great symbolism for suicide awareness, a lyric and something specially Chester or LP.... I thought about a glass castle but not sure how will that will look with whites and blue. So then my best friend mentioned the heart/skull half underwater on there main page and I was wondering if someone knew any meaning behind it?
