Hybrid Theory and Meteora were both big parts of my life in high school. Sad to read this today.

Damn, RIP and condolences to everyone near him.
Truly a master of his vocal technique, and contrary to popular belief very few people can pull of his style of melodic screams. The last few festival shows he sang were some of the best in his career as well. I wish everyone with mental health issues could get the support and treatment they truly need without feeling ashamed about seeking it.
As much as I can't stand bad rock/metal music whatsoever, Linkin Park actually wrote amazing songs and had incredible production on the first two albums. I consider myself a huge fan of the old stuff at least.

WHAAAAAT
Not even that long after Cornell's death too, fuck

Today is Cornell's birthday too... :'(

He wasn't alone.
I don't remember much of Saw 3D, but I do remember Chester waking up with his bare back sewn into the leather seats of a car.
It's crazy how big Linkin Park was for many people, same boat for me. I really enjoyed their songs new and old on the radio and streaming. Depression and mental health is no laughing matter, it's important to get as much help as you need. I hope Chester's at peace and his family are able to come together, grieve in privacy and move forward.

Can't help but to think that Cornell's death may have edged him closer to doing the same. R.I.P. Chester, you'll be sorely missed.
Haven't listened to them in ages, but LP will always have a special place in my heart. The year 2000 when 11 years old, first came Infest by Papa Roach, some time later came Hybrid Theory. THese 2 albums played a big significant role in where my musical interests would eventually end up being. I still remember breaking into our school with our skateboards during the summer vacation and skating on the playground while Hybrid Theory was blasting through the radio. Such amazing memories, and this album plays a big role in that. For that I will always be grateful. Thank you for everything...

Cornell's death probably had more to do with it.

This was Linkin Park's performance of One More light on jimmy kimmel; super powerful.. it was a tribute to Chris Cornell... near the end chester couldn't even sing the words and started crying

Wow man, wow. RIP. I was a huge fan of their first album when it came out. Even though I didn't follow them much recently this is super sad.
Linkin Park gets a lot of crap for having cheesy lyrics, but they also have amazing ones like these.
As a abuse victim myself, I can say it never leaves you. You either learn to live with it or it eats you up inside until you can't take anymore.

Everyone rags on the type of music they made. But damn if we all didn't listened to it all the time. Effin RIP.
