Ultra Violet

R.I.P Chester. Although I have not been LP fan from the very beginning, as soon as I was old enough to figure out how to download my own music, I became a loyal Linkin Park fan and since then you have always been my favourite male vocalist. I remember reading your interview in a rock magazine about your abusive past and I was in absolute shock, but also absolute respect at how you managed to move on from such a hard time before you were 13, and make it into something worthwhile with your music. I kept up to date with all your work since 2007 and A Thousand Suns and Living Things will always remain two of my favourite albums. I am so grateful for the music you and Linkin Park released which forever changed me and my view on mental illness, and it even helped me cope with my own hard struggles through bipolar depression. I am so sorry to hear of your passing away and truly hope you can find peace and happiness in your next journey. My all-time favourite songs from the band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J40dn4ttgw

So I searched and apparently there's never been a Linkin Park thread on this forum. In memory of Chester Bennington, the lead singer who passed away (thought to be suicide) on the 20th july 2017 at 41 years old, I want to make this thread as a place for any past fans to post what were our favourite Linkin Park songs and any memories we have listening to their music. I'd really appreciate it if no one posted jokes in this thread btw. Here is the list of albums Chester did with Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory (2000) Meteora (2003) Minutes to Midnight (2007) A Thousand Suns (2010) Living Things (2012) The Hunting Party (2014) One More Light (2017) Although he was involved in many other music projects and film features.

AJ did the deluxe finally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2Rk3wNPyiw Her reaction to cake is literally me

That's not good are u ok darl?

Psychedelic folk I'm soooo digging it

Hate it (mostly cause children are taught to love their toys but not animals irl) Aliens

Hate it Game of Thrones?

Guns and Roses is a good psychedelic rock song and I won't apologise

Am I the only one who likes Cake? I always loved it. It's so catchy. I don't care that it's different from the rest of the songs, it's addictive.

THIS..... is the exact reason I never watched past episode 3

Yayo vs. Brooklyn Baby

Yayo vs. Old Money

I was not trying to make Lana sound dumb btw. I just thought she was missing information in that interview (which might be shortened too, we dont know) She does have a vision of course, a good one, but I do not feel as if she is understanding the perspective of everyone who has been involved in hippie and social movements. That is not to blame her though. Lots of people have a one sided view. Anyway, Coaechella WIMM is not an accurate song to represent this stuff, period.

Romanticising hippies isnt a bad thing. We arent saying its bad, we are just saying that its important to understand WHY hippies even came about. It was because of bad things happening already.

Even still, war is happening in third world countries 365/ 24/7, She just means the US. But yeah it could be a translational misreading anyway

The truth is painful

Also "I just hope nothing bad happens in the next 3 and a half years" Lana sweety, bad things have been happening since day 1. Just not to rich white people But we still love you, and are patient with your social education

Yeah I mean, Lana likes Hollywood history patterns but tbh does not know much about social history patterns (yet). Most people who don't reallllllyy know, don't realise that hippie movements of ANY decade aren't people just deciding out of nowhere "hey you wanna just be wild and free again and love everything??" it's a resistance, an almost subversive response to the political scene trying so hard to prevent the people from showing love. So it's a crazy big deal when it happens, since there's always something horrible going on to initiate the movement. People need a reason to keep supporting peace, and Trump is currently that reason. History repeats itself. We just gotta keep choosing the right side to fight for.

She thanked marina and cat power too awwwww. Honestly now I see change inspired by her (Cat power not marina)

Mine keeps changing. One minute it's WTWWAW, then Cherry cause of the "fuck" and chorus production, then 13 beaches intro, I just CANT judge by a snippet! I mean when that 6 second snippet of Love leaked I thought it was the most amazing thing ever but it's probably going to be my least favourite song on the album in the end lol

AMY LEE ICON OMG one of my fave photo shoots of her <3 No, I think 2 leaks is enough for this album, BUT YOSEMITE AND ROSES NEED TO LEAK (And SR if it exists) Do you agree that technology has no boundaries?

Love it more than hate it anyway 'Change' snippets?

It's such a low-key chorus which can be ok in songs, but for SB it was TOO low key. For me anyway

He was generally just so rude to everyone who were simply speculating/sharing ideas. It was so pointless Anyway, with that being said from her collaborators, I actually understand why BAR and Roses Bloom For You were cut still not Yosemite tho

Lmao I remember a time when Leaked _virgin tried to ruin me for saying LDR5 would be more upbeat, cause Lana never officially said it. But here we have Chuck quoting that they always aimed for something more upbeat
