Title: Linkin Park lead singer Bennington reportedly found dead
Post by: SirBlaziken on July 20, 2017, 19:37
 Linkin Park lead singer, Chester Bennington, has reportedly committed suicide. (http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/7873783/linkin-park-chester-bennington-suicide) I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed but if it's fake i'll lock the topic. Thoughts?

I have all 7 of their albums. I doubt they will replace him. I mean, nobody can pull off that 17 second scream (http://vocaroo.com/i/s1D2jVHFwJyP) like he could!

Austin Carlile (formerly of Of Mice & Men) has a bunch of long screams, I think the one at the end of "This One's For You" is like 21ish seconds?

this is super sad, Hybrid Theory and Meteora were such great albums, and I liked around half of Minutes To Midnight. Really sucks that people suffer like this and then end up doing this. feel for his family and friends.

Their latest albums weren't my cup of tea honestly. Heavy was decent I guess, but other than that, their new album is kinda weak. It's horrible that he died, though, and I hope his family is able to make it through ok.

 Proper gutted he passed away, not going to lie. Like, me and my friend would take digs at their newer music for being so different from what we grew up with as edgy teens but we still had massive respect for the guy for making such bangers.

 When it said how he passed away, it hit me pretty hard. It's sad that this happened and it's going to be hard for his friends and family.

 I was hoping it was just a horrible Twitter hoax that was misreported by the news. Gutted.

Seems like the appropriate time to resurrect this....
