    I loved hybrid theory but meteora is what changed everything for me. Younger me wanted the same flame tattoos Chester had. This one stings.

    Man, im legitimately crying at my desk right now. Chester and Linkin Park have done so much for modern rock music and have been a massive influence to an entire generation of people. There are no words that can capture just how big of loss this is. There needs to be more attention and emphasis put into our mental well-being , this simply cant keep happening to both celebrities and our peers.

    Wow. Can’t believe this. I remember getting a burnt copy of Hybrid and hiding it from my parents. Just at a loss for words.

    I can't believe that. You just never know how someone is feeling or doing or coping. I hope he rests in peace. Super sad.

    Devastating, hybrid theory was one of the first heavier albums I ever listened to

    Yes...but a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts

    I'm not saying it's coincidental, but please, please remember this the next time your favorite band releases material you don't enjoy. Chester received so many hateful, personal attacks for their last album and it's depressing as hell to think maybe that may have played even a small part in this. RIP.

    can't be made fun of Prestigious

    Not to hijack the thread or act like some anecdote makes this any sadder for me: but my dad was a deadbeat dad that walked out when I was 12, but every once in a while I would get letters from him with little gifts, usually CDs. The last one I ever got from him was Meteora. The band never was that big of a deal for me but I've always had that weird little memory attached to that one. "Nobody's Listening" was my favorite track.

    Man, this sucks I used to be obsessed with these guys in elementary and middle school :( Hybrid Theory and Meteora were some of my favorite albums back then and I still have really vivid memories of being on my parents computer all day on a saturday downloading Meteora off limewire and burning CDs for all my friends and us all going to their website and watching breaking a habit music video and they had some games I think on there too.

    I think his "lashing out', in that context, was a bit over embellished. I'm sure he was frustrated but likely doubt that was the driving force behind this. From what I know, he's had a long history of mental health issues/depression/drug problems and who knows what really drove this. Way too early to tell, I'm still in shock from this news.

    (Apologies if any of that came off as insensitive, still in total shock).

    Always loved their music since I was young... In my opinion the latest album got much more hate than it deserved. I'm devastated right now...
    Linkin Park was the first show I saw in my life. Thank you for everything Chester. Rest in peace...
