An unapologetic song about what depression is really like is "Given Up" - it cries out Chester's desperation. But what makes it remarkable is a 17 second metal scream that is absolutely incredible. His vocals are unmatched!
Chester (R.I.P.) had so much energy. He was a totally honest artist that put everything into it. I'm so happy that I can say that I got to see them. They rocked it! Their songs are painfully honest but motivational. They don't have a bad song.
RIP Chester. He was someone who suffered from depression and you heard it in his music. Gotta hear "Numb." That song will definitely make you feel his pain and something some can relate to.
Yes RIP Chester… Linkin Park was one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager in the 2000s, but I lost interest in them after this album. Meteora was their last “good album”
The Linkin Park rabbit hole is so deep. "Papercut", "One Step Closer", "Points Of Authority", "Crawling" & "What I've Done" are just a few of the gems you'll find with this amazing band.
I have a voice acting background and have to say that Chester's on stage performance as well as his voice as a front man (Dead by Sunrise), has been such an inspiration for more than 20 years now. The vocal training was really tough, sometimes without noticeable results for months but artist like him and the great Kevin Conroy are an impulse to not give up. You almost saw me as Leon in those new RE games :) If you're looking for a similar sound I would recommend Earshot - 'Wait', Spineshank - 'New Disease', Incubus -'Certain Shade of Green', Reveille - 'Inside Out', Primer 55 - 'Loose',
Chester Bennington (vocals, lyrics) and Mike Shinoda (rap, keyboards) at the top of their game. One of the best from a band that doesn't get enough credit.
Linkin Park was a jolt to the music scene when they first came out. They blended the genres in the best way. KROQ in Southern California first started playing them. They had them playing parking lots at Best Buy’s. You just knew that they were going to be big.
@user-zv8jh4bn5k I'm floored they're going to try. Go back to INXS trying to replace Michael Hutchence, Layne Staley was another. Some groups can get away with it, but only if that person is not absolutely clutch. Chester was very clutch.
There are quite a few Linkin Park songs that will get you pumped. Points of Authority, One Step Closer, Lying From You, By Myself, A Place for My Head (especially the live in Texas version) and Faint are all great songs to get the blood pumping. Linkin Park is an essential 00s band speaking as someone who was in high school when they debuted...not a bad song on their first two albums...definitely worth going down the rabbit hole :)
Yes, he is missed so much, his son is a rapper I can't wait to hear from him! #rip Chester Benninton - Jay and Amber you have to listen to all of their albums and listen to songs back to back!
Chester’s voice was simply amazing. The way he portrayed every deep feeling was so intense, is hard not to relate to what was said on every Linkin Park song. Next one I would recommend is “Papercut” from the Album Hybrid Theory. My personal favorite… love ya guys!! Thanks for the great reaction!
Linkin Park is great! Their lyrics are always very deep. Chester’s voice is amazing, Mike Shinoda is the one rapping, the blend between both is very unique. I love them!
You must review Linkin Park more often than once a year. There are so many good songs to enjoy. Songs to check out: Breaking the Habit, One Step Closer, Numb, Crawling, What I've Done, and Given Up. There are a lot more but these will keep you busy! Lead singer is Chester Bennington. He was a phenomenal singer and a really genuinely great person but had his demons and is still missed.
I was turned on to Linkin Park by my sons in the 90’s, live there sound, rap and grunge all in one, they had so much to say!!! RIP Chester! Miss your awesome voice!
Mike Shinoda with the rapping and Chester Bennington with the singing are the perfect duo for rap/singing and add that to hard rock or metal. LP had the perfect music combination for my taste anyway and I’m freaking 68 years old! 😂. I miss Chester so much. He passed away in 2017 I believe. They also switched roles in some of their songs where Chester rapped and Mike sang and sometimes back and forth in the same song. They were just so creative and unique. Deep lyrics most of the time and fun music. Very passionate at times. They loved their fans. All around just a wonderful band. ❤️
I'm fairly sure this was the first LP song that drew my attention to them, I bought the CD, and was really impressed with the whole album. The album had already been out for a few years by then, but it came into my life at a time that I needed it.
Chester's voice was awesome. It's hard to listen to these lyrics knowing that he took his own life after years of battle with depression. But it's important to talk about it because lots of folks are struggling. I suggest that you check out the tribute concert for him. His wife's speech is very powerful. R.I.P. Chester and thank you for all the great music 🙏
I feel blessed that I was able to see them in concert. One of the very few bands that sounded EXACTLY like their cd when they were live. RIP Chester ❤😔
There are so many great ones, but 2 YOU MUST listen to are Numb and Given Up. Lyrically, Amber is going to be blown away. The bass, the metal, & in Given Up, there's a 17 second stretch that is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! Jay these 2 will definitely get you going!
I went through a difficult phase when I was teen and this song helped me a lot and Chester’s vocals just amazing. They have other great songs in their albums too. Glad to see you guys jamming to this! 😁
Linkin Park is FIRE! One of my top 5 favorite bands of all time.the late great Chester Bennington on those ripping vocals is one of the best things ive ever heard
This is from the best Linkin Park album! Meteora is FILLED with absolute bangers! It was a moment in time when that album dropped. Pick any song from that album and you won't go wrong. Damn, I'm off to listen to it again.
I LOVE Linkin Park! Chester was amazing! I always would listened to Linkin Park, Evanescence, and Avril Lavigne all through school. RIP Chester he was a Legend! ❤️
Totally thrilled you guys got back to Linkin Park. You might consider checking out "Lying from You" off the Meteora CD. Killer guitar riff ... and a rap ... on top of a thumping beat. Their song "Breaking the Habit" helped me through some rough patches after I lost my wife 3 years ago. RIP Chester and my princess Stephanie.
Chester Bennington was a gift that we had for a very short time. All of his songs , the lyrics the emotions all a prelude of what Chester was going through. RIP Chester
The 90s into the 2000s had some of the most varied music to be given to us in the main stream scene. At the time, we had no idea it would end and turn into the mess that music is today; simple and repetitive. Back then the music had soul and meaning. It was a painting of our lives and we were so blessed to have the music we needed to get through a life of such fun and strife. I survived those years because of songs such as this. I miss those days but life goes on. At least I can put the songs on my hi-fi and play them whenever I want. Thanks for reacting to this song.
Nothing bad can be said about Linkin Park (RIP Chester). Chester can sing! His vocal ability is incredible. The combination of rap and rock vocal makes Linkin Park unique. They found a way to incorporate both styles in a way that not many could. Their sound is distinctive and one of the best bands to come out of the 90's. They wrote songs that were deep, reflective & honest, many touching on Chester's own personal demons, which many of us now see as cries for help since his suicide. But such incredible music. Keep reacting to this band.
Every Time I'm listening to a linking park song, I'm bleeding inside for Chester. Loved him and the band so so much. Linking park is still my favorite band.
A couple of the members, including Mike Shinoda spun off Fort Minor. There song "remember the name" is my favorite "get hyped" locker room song. When I was coaching youth football, I had to use the clean version!
Listening to this after Chester Bennington’s suicide, the song takes on a whole new meaning. He want to heal, he wants to feel. So very sad 😢. Such a talented artist and such a great song. And such a devastating loss 😢
There's so many good messages in the song but one of my favorite Parts is when he says "I will never be anything until I break away from me".....please listen to the song "Lost" they released it after he passed.
Chester Bennington (light hair lead singer) and Mike Shinoda (dark hair rapper) it’s just an awesome iconic duo. I love this band. I grew up on this band.
The great thing about Linkin Park was that I wasn’t the only middle aged guy in “the pit” living in the tunes with Chester’s voice pumping up the adrenaline levels!
Fun fact: Mike got signed to Eminem’s record label but decided to pursue a group instead of himself going solo, whereas he met the rest of a linkin park and rest is history ❤️
Castle of Glass is how I got into Linkin Park and it is still one of my favs by them. It has such a deep meaning that many can relate with and sounds so....unique. I recommend Castle of Glass by Linkin Park.
Lp is one of the best bands, where all their songs you can relate to in real life issues, especially in the end ,numb which helped through personal issues the biggest hit by record !!
Chester helped so many people with depression through his music. We were all too blind to see that he was shouting out his own depression in his songs.
Chester Bennington was an amazing vocalist, he sang with every emotion...it was so raw. Unfortunately the world lost him to his struggles with depression about 6 years ago 😢. The other vocalist (who raps) is Mike Shinoda.
An unapologetic song about what depression is really like is "Given Up" - it cries out Chester's desperation. But what makes it remarkable is a 17 second metal scream that is absolutely incredible. His vocals are unmatched!
+1 for Given Up. That scream is insane!
Yesssssss!!
someone who would never take his own life - no matter what!!!
Reactions to this song should always be done to some of the good live versions, they are so much better than studio. Live in Clarkson is 💯 👌
Agreed
Chester (R.I.P.) had so much energy. He was a totally honest artist that put everything into it. I'm so happy that I can say that I got to see them. They rocked it! Their songs are painfully honest but motivational. They don't have a bad song.

Breaking the Habit always brings me to tears.
Awesome reaction guys! So glad y’all enjoyed it. “Faint” should be added to your list for the next LP reaction.
I concur.
Roll Tide!
Roll Tide!
And "lying from you"
Please if you going to request song make sure you do them justice and request live versions 😅 Faint - Live rock am ring
Always better than studio
Linkin Park is the BEST...This is an amazing song..R.I.P Chester...please react to their song "NUMB"
Mr. Bennington ripped off the band-aid and exposed his soul. Many empathize with his pain. Bless his soul.
Love linkin park! Rip Chester Bennington
Yes
If you want hype songs, the first album "Hybrid Theory" is exactly what you're looking for.
100% right. Every track is great
@@davidrose9032 Except "Cure for the Itch"...
every song

KROQ one of the best things to ever come out of LA!
YES!! ⚡️ They opened a whole nother door! It was beautiful too! RIP Chester forever missed 💔
There's no one like Chester.
You having a stroke while typing?@manueldumont3709
He's one of my all-time favorites for both songwriting and vocal ability.
Closest I've found since is Noah Sebastian from bad omens. Know them?
Miles kennady
I agree he will be missed 😢. Without him they won't be the same.

"One Step Closer" is another great pump up song from these guys.
There are quite a few Linkin Park songs that will get you pumped.

I would DIE to see these 2 react to some Live in Texas!!!
One Step Closer definitely does it for me!
RIP Chester. He tried so hard to overcome so much in his life. This song is truly a swan song. Just so sad but he left an incredible amount of music.
Rest In Paradise Chester you are missed so much! Most of their songs I can so relate too. Real life!! Deep deep lyrics ….
Yes, he is missed so much, his son is a rapper I can't wait to hear from him! #rip Chester Benninton - Jay and Amber you have to listen to all of their albums and listen to songs back to back!
'Faint' is an awesome pump up song for game day!
Chester’s voice was simply amazing. The way he portrayed every deep feeling was so intense, is hard not to relate to what was said on every Linkin Park song. Next one I would recommend is “Papercut” from the Album Hybrid Theory. My personal favorite… love ya guys!! Thanks for the great reaction!
Numb, Faint, What I've done, Crawling, New Divide are all good songs to do next.
THIS was the song with which I purged negative energy from my body for years. Rock it out...
RIP Chester Bennington
Linkin Park is great! Their lyrics are always very deep. Chester’s voice is amazing, Mike Shinoda is the one rapping, the blend between both is very unique. I love them!
You must review Linkin Park more often than once a year. There are so many good songs to enjoy. Songs to check out: Breaking the Habit, One Step Closer, Numb, Crawling, What I've Done, and Given Up. There are a lot more but these will keep you busy! Lead singer is Chester Bennington. He was a phenomenal singer and a really genuinely great person but had his demons and is still missed.
Love Linkin Park. I had the pleasure of seeing them in concert before Chester Benningtons passing. They put on an amazing show!
OMG, more Linkin Park please!!! I didn’t pay attention to them until really recently, and they’re so good.
I was turned on to Linkin Park by my sons in the 90’s, live there sound, rap and grunge all in one, they had so much to say!!! RIP Chester! Miss your awesome voice!
nu metal or rap metal this song
Grunge? No. At all. Nu metal.
Mike Shinoda with the rapping and Chester Bennington with the singing are the perfect duo for rap/singing and add that to hard rock or metal.

“Crawling” by Linkin Park is soooooo good. Please react to this one Jay and Amber!
Love Linkin Park. Keep their music playing !!!! ✊
Hybrid Theory is straight up and album full of bangers. It's one of those albums that was awesome through and through
Reminds me of my son who passed away !! Even though I showed him all my music , he shared all of he’s music with me!!! 😢❤😊 RIP David
Rip Chester

Chester and thank you for all the great music 🙏
Damn I miss him.👼👼👼☦☦☦
Thanks for bringing this song to us. I've not heard it before and it's really awesome.
Can we give Shinoda some props as a songwriter? He wrote nearly all of it, both lyrics and music.
I feel blessed that I was able to see them in concert. One of the very few bands that sounded EXACTLY like their cd when they were live. RIP Chester ❤😔
LOL Rob pausing it in the middle of Chester’s soulfelt bridge 🤣🤣🤣
Linkin Park knocks it out every time! You should check out another group called P.O.D. Their song, "Alive" is sure to get you hyped! 💯👍🔥
Yes, an amazing song.
P.O.D. Boom is 🔥
Alive and of course "Youth of a nation"
@@ninsnumber1fan - Yes, another great banger.
Satellite is fire too
You guys listen to all the greats. Definitely one of my favorites. RIP Chester
There are so many great ones, but 2 YOU MUST listen to are Numb and Given Up. Lyrically, Amber is going to be blown away. The bass, the metal, & in Given Up, there's a 17 second stretch that is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! Jay these 2 will definitely get you going!
You guys haven't dove into them enough!! They are incredible!! And Mike raps quite a bit in their songs ❤
I went through a difficult phase when I was teen and this song helped me a lot and Chester’s vocals just amazing. They have other great songs in their albums too. Glad to see you guys jamming to this! 😁
Linkin park-Crawling,Castle of Glass,Burn it Down,What ai've done
RIP Chester Bennington.
Yes!! Thank you for exploring this band! Love this scene!
Rip Chester.. loved every song of this group. The wall of sound guitars,Chester and Mike,Mr Hahn ..magic combo.
one of my fave songs. so relatable.
The older I get the more I appreciate LP. This one has always been a favorite. Mike Shinoda ❤ let's not forget this amazing dude.
Linkin Park is FIRE! One of my top 5 favorite bands of all time.the late great Chester Bennington on those ripping vocals is one of the best things ive ever heard

Not sure if you have already done the Linkin Park/JayZ mash up album. 6 incredible tracks that are a MUST view!
Such a damn great song! Such a damn great band! Love it! Thank you, Jay and Amber.
“Given up” needs to get a reaction purely so we can see Amber react to the scream!!
Pump it up with Linkin Park! React to "What I've Done" or "Numb" next. Thanks.😎
The lyrics touch your heart would probably be even more so if you remember her at the lead singer *Chester Bennington* committed taking his life 😥
Totally thrilled you guys got back to Linkin Park. You might consider checking out "Lying from You" off the Meteora CD. Killer guitar riff ... and a rap ... on top of a thumping beat.

All of Hybrid Theory is amazing, any of them would be a great pick. I would recommend Papercut or crawling next.
Takes me right back to listening to this on my disc-man in the school bus on my way to middle school.
I love Linkin Park. R.I.P. Chester
Chester Bennington was a gift that we had for a very short time. All of his songs , the lyrics the emotions all a prelude of what Chester was going through. RIP Chester
Chester was such a great vocalist. I cannot think of one single song that he did that I didn't like. Awesome review guys.
Love this group! Always have!
Love the model kits on the shelf i'
ve built a couple and ill always love LP for putting then in a MV

Check out Linkin Park - Waiting for the End. One of their best tracks.
"Faint" and "Breaking the Habit" are my most faves from them!
Rip to a legend. Gone but never forgotten , Chester ❤.
So many memories each of these songs by LP.
My favorite song by Linkin Park. When Chester died I played this song on repeat like I had done many times before when feeling down.
Such an amazing group! Heaven is blessed to have Chester. I hope you’re free of all the pain💔RIP
Check out the band Fort Minor song Remember the Name. Great hype song.
Every Time I'm listening to a linking park song, I'm bleeding inside for Chester. Loved him and the band so so much. Linking park is still my favorite band.
Chester is an amazing artist.. when he passed we lost a great legend imo. Heavy is my favorite song by them. U def need to hear that. RIP Chester...😢😢
I love jays reaction at 4 minutes that's exactly the feeling you get. Chester was and always will be legendary
Thank you Linkin Park for all these real issue mental health songs . Thank you Chester. You are missed bro .
Rock music took a big hit when Chester died. Linkin Park is one of those iconic bands that helped define the 2000s
One of My favorite songs all time!

This is one of the greatest bands of all time. Nu Metal was king in the early 2000's.
Castle of Glass is how I got into Linkin Park and it is still one of my favs by them. It has such a deep meaning that many can relate with and sounds so....unique. I recommend Castle of Glass by Linkin Park.

Good song good reaction
Chester helped so many people with depression through his music. We were all too blind to see that he was shouting out his own depression in his songs.
Oh you can't pause in the middle of some of these breaks! lol either way I'm glad you guys have picked LP. Wanna see more!
