Feel free to move, but thought some would like to see it, who may not in another forum. Definitely a popular group for the under 50 crowd. First Cornell and now Chester.

Saw Linkin Park live a few years ago. Was a really good show. Sad news.

Look away Sas, you're too old to know them.

But in all seriosuness, we really need to discuss mental health more in this country. It's a very real problem. Really sucks for him, his wife and their children.

My son (26) told me about them about 9 years ago. It was his favorite group when he was young. I think I bought him a shirt from Hot Topic with that band on it.

Also admitted to being sexual abused as a child

Damn, didn't know that

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Their first two albums were damn near perfect. They kinda fell off a ledge after that, but I always enjoyed Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Bennington was a uniquely talented individual, sucks that he had those demons. Feel terrible for his family and friends.

Sad sad news...Lyrics from one of his songs...crazy...

Bleed It Out

Linkin Park

Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my ****ing mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere

Agree with Sas Meteora was a near perfect collection
