Hey LP Family! Thanks for watching this video, and thanks again to the original creators and uploaders for making it possible for us to see these videos. With the views and comments steadily climbing on this video in recent weeks, I just want to remind everyone commenting that certain words and topics can be triggering for some people, especially those suffering from mental illnesses. Therefore, please try to keep this comment section a safe space for everyone and refrain from discussing things that people may find upsetting. Let it be a place for positivity and love instead. To anyone out there that is suffering, I promise you it can get better. Time and rest are the greatest healers, and you should never feel ashamed for needing time to rest. Remember you're loved, and you always will be. And if you need a friend, there's a seat here alongside me. #MakeChesterProud
So true...thanks for your beautiful words. All the best for you all. Stay strong and don't forget...we are the biggest family in the World and you/we all are not alone ❤ Chester is for ever in our hearts and he know it...i'm sure . Hugs for everyone there need it 🤗
the last performance isn't really emotional. The first ones are because of how it relates to Chester. I think he said it in an interview once, that when he recorded the song he'd just occasionally go to the other room and break down. Overtime the song lost its meaning to him, that's why he doesn't look like he's gonna cry on the last performance.
@@vosamul The second one is more emotional. In the first one you could see he was crying, he was fighting. That last performance at the same concerts in songs like One More Light where there is videos from the crowd up close and personal you could see that he had given up. You can hear that he was putting a focus on when he said " ill NEVER be alright" , and by Breaking The Habit he didnt mean it like in the first performance, where he was singing about breaking a habit of drinking or smoking or taking drugs, in the last performance he meant Breaking The Habit of being alive...
It's easy to say things in retrospect knowing what the outcome was. At the time, nobody recognized any problems but now, in retrospect suddenly everybody thinks they can identify warning signs. People just took that final performance as Chester being the performer he was which wasn't outside the realm of how he's performed his entire career. He always was a performer and emotional guy on stage especially for these kinds of songs that meant a lot to him personally. Nobody could predict what was going to happen just a couple of weeks later because he was this way his whole career. The songs themselves from the very beginning were cries of pain. Look at Jonathan Davis from Korn. All the abuse he went through and heavy songs he's written about it and breakdowns in studio and breakdowns live performing them. If there were anybody that was giving warning signs it would be JD but yet he's still here fortunately. Everybody goes through the struggle differently and it's impossible to tell who will actually take it so far to make the ultimate final decision about it. It's sad but you can't save people that can't be saved. If his own family and extensive career which garnered him millions of fans and happiness couldn't save him, nobody was going to save him.
THIS. People think he was always miserable in all phases of his life for some reason, just because he sang these songs..... Up until 2015, he was doing fine. He broke his ankle, and from that point onwards, he spiraled further into depression, and relapsed back into drugs and alcohol, and 2017(his friend's death, having to quit Stone Temple Pilots, people being the absolute pieces of crap to the band and expecting these 40 year olds to sound miserable and angry for some reason, in fact going as far as to throw garbage and objects at Chester at Hellfest) was where it eventually culminated into this. If anything, it's one very unfortunate case of the worst freaking luck. Poor guy, man. Rest in Peace, Chester.
Oh gosh please dont even open the can of worms on JD but yea for sure ur point is correct. Lets appreciate these legends. You dont get this type of passion and pain out of music if these Great artist didnt put so much passion and pain into it
I always tend to think about this quote I read from a guy who spoke to Chester quite a bit: "He was wearing a v-necked, white t-shirt with checked shirt over the top. There was a cross on a chain around his neck and he looked tanned and fit. He said he was in the best shape of his life - physically, mentally and spiritually. He looked it too." (you can search it up to find the source) I hope he got some sort of peace at least in the afterlife.
Chester Bennington does a lot to protect his voice in 2017. By 2003, he would have known full well the cost of screaming the way he was known for, the way he did on the album. It's brutal on the vocal chords, and anyone would be lucky to get through a set of two or three such songs without larygintis. I can't imagine how physically painful those tours are. He would have had to adapt to put on solid performances night after night. We can see by 2017 how he has learned to protect his voice while finding new ways to preserve the depth of emotion he puts in especially those older songs. He's also older, and like any athlete, it's a lot more costly to be reckless with our body the way we are in our early 20s. Artists evolve, not always at the same rate as their fans. Rest your voice.
@@jacobchristensen6235I only found out _after_ his passing, though I did listen to LP I consider myself more of a Soundgarden fan. But what matters more is that both Chris and Chester are in a better place
looks tired and exhausted on the last performance. i think the song don't hit him that hard anymore... if you look back in the making of videos, you see he has a tough time singing this song. the demons definitly won their battle. i feel so sorry for you Chester... you are so missed..but hopefully you are in peace up there ❤
His voice was changing. It happens to all singers, it happened for him between meteora and mtm and again between ats and living things. Granted they’re only slight changes that aren’t as big as say the vocal style change between meteora and mtm
A dificuldade que ele mostra cantando não por sua voz, mas uma dificuldade de lidar com os sentimentos e emoções que só ele estava sentindo enquanto cantava. E , ele não foi vencido por nenhum demônio, pois não existe um ser maior do que aquele que nos criou, pois, o Criador , dá a vida e Ele mesmo é aquele que tira. Chester está em Espírito agora junto do Pai Eterno.
2003 was an awesome performance! The crowd was non so involved , maybe because Meteora LP had already come out. But 2017 one was incredible too...Miss you Chester
Man, that last performance... you can tell he was clearly not doing well. Not sure if Chester was ever doing "well", I'm sure he has had his happy moments. But the part where he was just standing there (7:28)... that image might forever be burned into my mind.
you can really see that this one of a few LP songs that touched him every time he sang it. But you also see the emptiness at the end of the last live performance.
Damn, I don't know if I was the only one but in the part where he sings "I'll never be allright" plus the gesture he makes in 6:14, I feel like he's resigned that he would never be allright, how your loss hurts to this day Chester💔
fuck that legitimately made me tear up. also, how his voice breaks when he says “and this is how it ends” you can tell he has been genuinely contemplating ending it before this.
I noticed that gesture too. He succumbed to his demons and finally gave up fighting. Being a person with chronic depression like him and having tried to commit suicide myself, I can only imagine how he suffered and managed to stay strong for so long. I met the band on a Meet & Greet in Lisbon, at the time of the Meteora Tour. Chester was the guy who connected the best with me. I stood in front of him in awe and only got to tell him "keep it real!" because I lost my words. His genuine smile and the light in his eyes made my day! What a humble person he was... I'm really sorry for what he went through. Looking at the last performance it's pretty obvious that he was exhausted. I can't say he was going to do what he did. People in a suicidal state can disguise their feelings quite well. He was probably tired of the schedule, his need for drugs to forget about the demons and all the crap that most people don't even dream of. I hope he's resting in peace and lighting up the sky for us. I miss you Chester! 😭💖
I have been listening to linkin parks live performances for decades now, and Chester’s final performances were the only performances where I EVER heard him struggle to sing. He had given up long before he left us. Its very painful to see/hear.
First time I'm seeing this and it breaks my heart that he was in so much pain,did Mike know how he was feeling beforehand, just so much sadness inside him just all consuming😢🙏 GOD PLEASE REST HIS SOUL
Everyone deals with their own feelings on their own. Nobody can see inside, nobody can judge, nobody can feel exactly the same. I feel those left in the aftermath that couldn’t do a thing because we all think for ourselves. I will always miss Chester and his beautiful music, as I work daily on my mental state it is still just that, mine. Stay strong everyone and even though at this time I am too weak to speak with loved ones please always do your best. All of us as humans mean something to someone, please find that meaning in you.
He really did look beat down in last performance , I think just as things were getting better he then lost a close friend he looked up to, and I think it just made him loose hope and then he relapsed reality is hard when your getting sober you start to see things clearer than you have in a long time and you struggle to regain your identy , its not easy and not everyone makes it . God bless your spirit you understood us and made us feel less alone ,RIP Chester you were great from beginning to your last performance
You wouldn't think that if you didn't know he died at some point after this performance you're just inserting your emotion into your view of the video and that's pretty weak. Take it for what it is and move on
You know he was tired of living at this point... he had already made his mind up, and therefore, he knew it was time for him to make that final decision. It's terribly sad how we couldn't save this man.. how we couldn't see his pain as he saw all of ours. I hope you're at peace, Chester. I and the whole world misses you. ❤
Nah that’s BS that he had made up his mind. Where have you got that information from? He relapsed on drugs and alcohol the day he hung him self, that is probably why he died. People read in to stuff too much. I can agree that he probably was tired of life, but when was he not.
@@nesssaja had nothing to do with chris cornell according to his friends he also didnt plan to suicide, the things with his mental issues is that it comes and goes and if it comes hard and u are already drunk and depressed u do things before thinking twice about them
@@nesssajait’s not totally bs if you see interviews a couple weeks before this concert you’ll see him talking about how he struggles with just existing he was hit hard after the death of Chris Cornell who was extremely close to Chester with Chester even being a godfather to one of Chris’s kids and after that point you could see a switch in his demeanor I don’t necessarily think he made up his mind at that point but it’s no coincidence he took his life on Chris Cornell’s birthday that just put him down a vicious spiral he couldn’t escape and is what cause him to relapse I mean his whole life he has dealt with mental health issues as he was sexually abused as a kid but Chris Cornell’s death definitely had an impact in his decision But yeah your right his mind most likely was not made up at that moment as that’s not how depression works but he was definitely fighting his own demons in that moment
@@lisalancaster6510 Couldn’t have said it better!! It’s also so haunting to see him and LP at Jimmy Kimmel performing “One more light” song. That breaks my heart every time. And when he sang “Hallelujah” at Cornell’s memorial or funeral.. And then he died the same way just couple of weeks later. So sad. And yeah I wanted to say to people that maybe struggles with depression or worse thoughts that you can get help. Try talking with someone, if can’t you can always call helplines were you anonymously can talk with someone. I have myself struggled a lot with depression in my life. It can be hard sometimes but don’t let the demons get you.
I saw them live in 2003 and it was indeed just like listening to the album. That's not a bad thing, they were a very talented group who could get very close to a recording in a live performance and that's hard to do. They loosened up over time, but one isn't better or worse.
In the first part it seems that they aren't yet used to playing this song together. They sound like a tribute band in terms of coherence. And in the second part, they really sond like a unit. And here Chester sings like he's not here, like he completely in himself or in the memories he's singing about.
Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside, I realize That I'm the one confused I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight
How he screams "Tonight" and like he's punching the air.....then...THAT sadness as he stands still, his shoulders slumped down, his expression is like that's it, I'm giving up, it's hopeless .
In 6:54 Chester showed us "what he really means" and nobody saw that. I am so sorry. I can't get through this for so long time. So, for all of you guys, thinking about it. U are important for more people that u can even imagine.
@@MadDunhill so like, he did it multiple times and I guess It wasn't just for the scene or gig. I don't want to overthink it, but I see the signs there.
There is so much raw emotion in the first performance. You could tell that he gave it his all. He looks so tired in the last performance as if to say, "I've had enough, I'm done"
Terlihat sekali betapa lelah dan penatnya Chester. Dipenampilan ini dia tidak begitu bersemangat, tidak seperti penampilan sebelumnya yang begitu semangat dan enerjik. Kali ini seperti ada sesuatu yang mengganjalnya. Ada sesuatu yang mengganggu pikirannya. Entah apa, yang pasti dia kini sudah tenang disana. Kami merindukan mu Chester.. You are legend.
Hay algo desgarrador al verlo y escucharlo en su última interpretación ...cuando te conectas con el sentir lo percibes ...quien no ha estado alguna vez en una situcaión en la que ya no puedes más ...y a veces llega ese momento dd no más ...honro a todas las almas valientes que viven experiencias de dolor ...Chester eternamente 🙌💜💫
He was a beautiful man!!! He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was spot on during this performance. There is only 1 Chester Bennington!!! He is severely missed, for his heart, soul, kindness, and talent! No one can replicate his passion and love ❤️ 😍 💖
To be honest,felt alot more emotion in the first performance and it made me feel like crying as I felt his struggle,something ive gone through before with addictions and chikdhood pains.The last performance though made me feel like hugging him and letting him know everything will be alright,Chester seemed like a lost soul there who needed alot of love.RIP Chester and thank you for all youve done for music
Breaking the habit is most difficult song to sing but in the first and last version he shows he's still fell the song even after 15 years his voice is full of emotions and sadness. I miss him so... 😔
Bro, you might not be going to heaven at all! Actually it doesn't matter if you're a "good person", because no one is good but God, so actually we're all pretty BAD. Naturally we're all on our way to hell; But if we accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior and acknowledge our sins, recognize that they're evil, and confess them to God and turn away from them, we're saved from hell by Jesus, not by ourselves.
Thank you for your shared the memories this very well one to us. The man who was an angel till now and the future. I don’t know how we can compensate back to you
С первых аккордов мурашки по коже.. самый лучший вариант исполнения этой песни на мой взгляд! Спасибо Честеру за то, что с юности и по сей день со мной..
Seine Stimme ist soooo geil und ich habe mich auch ein wenig in ihn verliebt ❤. Trotzdem muß ich immer weinen wenn ich die Videos sehe. Bei my love 😢😢 😢
He was exhausted physically and mentally drained in the second performance. I picked up on his energy I couldn't stop yawning and feeling groggy throughout it. The first half his energy was raw raw raw powerful. Tired truly. My love goes out to you always Chester. This really opened my eyes
For a good decade I thought it was "you are a sound, I'm safer in my room" and it resonated with me as a child of divorce and hearing them fight all the time, sometimes on the brink of violence.
Dude, stop the blind fanboyism. The first performance was effortlessly perfect, in the last one he sounds like he's being strangled. His vocal performances were incredible and perfect in the early years but started deteriorating around 2007, eventually they just got kinda bad.
@@Gustavo-jq2sc Oh boohoo, free speech! It's called being honest, you *actually* pathetic fanboy, and it's *clearly* fucking true. There is absolutely no comparison between an early 2000s LP performance and a 2010s one, the difference is night and day. Whether you want to admit it or not, Chester lost it. I'm not even shitting on him, it happens to metal vocalists *all the time,* screaming and growling take their toll eventually, but Chester is a clear example of it.
@@dvda9725 yea these kids arent lp fans, chesters voice matured, couldnt make through music industry, dont understand how chester went through singing and screaming, your voice changes some lose it, like the kid that made this comment, they never seen every concert, only a few, so they made a comment, just a misunderstanding here, chester knew he was going to be murder, and chris was gone, not everyone will see that, very sad
@@VoidC13nowhere? This man's career was built on *yelling* to the world that he felt numb, that things were crawling in his skin, that he never felt alright, felt paranoid, felt like he had no self control, And you think this came out of nowhere? As if the millions of people who listened to a man scream for 17 years about mental health just never knew, and just "should've called someone?" *really,* man?
I don’t get people saying he was done or he losed to his demons. Last performance was PERFECT. Stop inventing or reflecting your own bsht on a man that you didn’t know and actually let a beautiful legacy and message on every single performance ❤
Ok guys the comments always trying to analyze Chester are obnoxious and stupid. I’m sure he was enjoying these performances and wasn’t thinking about leaving us all the time. I feel like everyone keeps wanting to be Al analytical about his last days. Let it be y’all sound cringe
it is really weird hearing people talk about how "one more light was a goodbye note" and what you mentioned and all that jazz when he was literally like. making plans to collab with other artists and stuff in the days leading up to his death. if anything the information we have comes off more to me as he made that final choice really impulsively in a bad headspace (it's not something nearly as planned out most of the time as people think), but even then we don't know and shouldn't be making definitive statements, especially when we didn't even know the guy personally
7:27 That's so frightening. Only someone in complete pain could look like that- this was not a performance, it was him in his own bubble, so disgusted with life, blaming himself for having such severe depression, and a lot of self-hatred. Clinical depression eventually leads you to believe that it's your fault, you hate yourself because you think you've been such a burden on everyone. It's such a scary feeling, you feel so extremely paranoid because you think that nobody wants to be around you. So you stay in your room. Yes, I'm in that stage right now, self-hatred because I think everyone is instantly rolling their eyes when I come out of my room. depression
Bro let it be , I'm also with you with your same thoughts , I don't know even what to do,but I'm saying you to relax and calm down for the sake of ourselves not anyone's..stay safe bro ❤ take care
Idk a whole lot but i went to one show carnivores tour in 2014 and chester and them fucking went OT and sang even more songs it felt like hours. They made their mark as legends for a reason
In the final performance it feels like he was already fighting his demons, potentially with alcohol again already here too... heart breaking. His voice is so brittle and crushed at the final days... I miss this man so much. It hurts seeing him in that shape. Cornell really broke him

So true. It's so sad
I think his voice went from aggressive to kinda sadness if that make sense
Not the strongest song of that particular set.
That's not true. His voice started deteriorating since 2013
I miss him so much, he was such a good person, and his voice barely changed throughout the years, only reason it changed was age.
@@thunderviperx4009 a snowflake commenting on a year old comment because i had an opinion lmfaooo
@@vasiv2537 you are the one who is snowflake his voice changed bicause of overuse dummy
It definitely changed from 2015 to 2017, but I think that his voice sounded amazing in oml and 2017 performances in it’s own way.
@@deinemutter7472 his voice has changed a lot since 2005
I'd say 2010 is when his voice started to change and he started to lose a bit of power
😢😢😢R.I.P CHESTER BENNINGTON YOU'RE WAS THE BEST SINGER FOR ME...I'M CRYING AND MISS YOU❤😢❤😢
The first one is so Heart Breaking Wow i Cant imagine what he went through
what a legend. man, the last performance is so hard to watch.
First time I'm seeing this and it breaks my heart that he was in so much pain,did Mike know how he was feeling beforehand, just so much sadness inside him just all consuming😢🙏
GOD PLEASE REST HIS SOUL
Mike was probably busy battling his own demons.
Everyone deals with their own feelings on their own. Nobody can see inside, nobody can judge, nobody can feel exactly the same. I feel those left in the aftermath that couldn’t do a thing because we all think for ourselves. I will always miss Chester and his beautiful music, as I work daily on my mental state it is still just that, mine. Stay strong everyone and even though at this time I am too weak to speak with loved ones please always do your best. All of us as humans mean something to someone, please find that meaning in you.
I'll never fight again and this is how it ends...
In sorry. The lyrics hit me like a sucker punch
Chester truly gave his everything every time
I miss u Chester Bennington ❤u had the most beautiful voice! ❤
He really did look beat down in last performance , I think just as things were getting better he then lost a close friend he looked up to, and I think it just made him loose hope and then he relapsed reality is hard when your getting sober you start to see things clearer than you have in a long time and you struggle to regain your identy , its not easy and not everyone makes it . God bless your spirit you understood us and made us feel less alone ,RIP Chester you were great from beginning to your last performance
Actually, vocally the last one was much better .
You wouldn't think that if you didn't know he died at some point after this performance you're just inserting your emotion into your view of the video and that's pretty weak. Take it for what it is and move on
This is awesome thank you
My pleasure dude. Chester always found this song emotional to sing and I wanted to get both performances in one video. :)
first one is the best performance of breaking the habit I've ever listened to, so much raw emotions and voice
You know he was tired of living at this point... he had already made his mind up, and therefore, he knew it was time for him to make that final decision. It's terribly sad how we couldn't save this man.. how we couldn't see his pain as he saw all of ours. I hope you're at peace, Chester. I and the whole world misses you. ❤
Nah that’s BS that he had made up his mind. Where have you got that information from?
He relapsed on drugs and alcohol the day he hung him self, that is probably why he died. People read in to stuff too much. I can agree that he probably was tired of life, but when was he not.
Either way its really a bad message for people with mental struggles to read. There is always a way for recovery and a fresh start.
@@nesssaja had nothing to do with chris cornell according to his friends
he also didnt plan to suicide, the things with his mental issues is that it comes and goes and if it comes hard and u are already drunk and depressed u do things before thinking twice about them
@@nesssajait’s not totally bs if you see interviews a couple weeks before this concert you’ll see him talking about how he struggles with just existing he was hit hard after the death of Chris Cornell who was extremely close to Chester with Chester even being a godfather to one of Chris’s kids and after that point you could see a switch in his demeanor I don’t necessarily think he made up his mind at that point but it’s no coincidence he took his life on Chris Cornell’s birthday that just put him down a vicious spiral he couldn’t escape and is what cause him to relapse I mean his whole life he has dealt with mental health issues as he was sexually abused as a kid but Chris Cornell’s death definitely had an impact in his decision
But yeah your right his mind most likely was not made up at that moment as that’s not how depression works but he was definitely fighting his own demons in that moment
@@lisalancaster6510 Couldn’t have said it better!!
It’s also so haunting to see him and LP at Jimmy Kimmel performing “One more light” song. That breaks my heart every time. And when he sang “Hallelujah” at Cornell’s memorial or funeral..
And then he died the same way just couple of weeks later.
So sad.
And yeah I wanted to say to people that maybe struggles with depression or worse thoughts that you can get help. Try talking with someone, if can’t you can always call helplines were you anonymously can talk with someone.
I have myself struggled a lot with depression in my life. It can be hard sometimes but don’t let the demons get you.
First/early performance sounded like the actual song from the album while the last is for real. It applies to real life
This is gibberish, please phrase it better.
idk bout u but id mind my own business than go over some else's comment and dump on their comment by correcting them come on it aint cool
@@angusmcnay5449 lol why tf r u toxic its clearly understandable what he means
@@angusmcnay5449 incel
I saw them live in 2003 and it was indeed just like listening to the album. That's not a bad thing, they were a very talented group who could get very close to a recording in a live performance and that's hard to do. They loosened up over time, but one isn't better or worse.
In the first part it seems that they aren't yet used to playing this song together. They sound like a tribute band in terms of coherence. And in the second part, they really sond like a unit. And here Chester sings like he's not here, like he completely in himself or in the memories he's singing about.
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
He always said thank you, always!
Beautiful person no matter how tired…he’s a human who IS still amazing ❤
I’m literally in tears
This is the most amazing band love them since 1996
How he screams "Tonight" and like he's punching the air.....then...THAT sadness as he stands still, his shoulders slumped down, his expression is like that's it, I'm giving up, it's hopeless
.
In 6:54 Chester showed us "what he really means" and nobody saw that. I am so sorry. I can't get through this for so long time.
So, for all of you guys, thinking about it. U are important for more people that u can even imagine.
wow....i can't believe he gave that warning 13 days before. frightening...
@@mg682 that wasn't a warning, he was just expressing himself. he made that move multiple times throughout the years.
... Of course the song is about SH. Duh. But he didn't do it that way. He wasn't telling us anything. He was just acting out the song.
@@MadDunhill so like, he did it multiple times and I guess It wasn't just for the scene or gig. I don't want to overthink it, but I see the signs there.
@@mydogeatspukeyeah, He didn't. But I don't think it was just acting, I think it was an expression from inside of him.
There is so much raw emotion in the first performance. You could tell that he gave it his all. He looks so tired in the last performance as if to say, "I've had enough, I'm done"
Terlihat sekali betapa lelah dan penatnya Chester.
Dipenampilan ini dia tidak begitu bersemangat, tidak seperti penampilan sebelumnya yang begitu semangat dan enerjik.
Kali ini seperti ada sesuatu yang mengganjalnya.
Ada sesuatu yang mengganggu pikirannya.
Entah apa, yang pasti dia kini sudah tenang disana.
Kami merindukan mu Chester..
You are legend.
This hurts. RIP Chester
Hay algo desgarrador al verlo y escucharlo en su última interpretación ...cuando te conectas con el sentir lo percibes ...quien no ha estado alguna vez en una situcaión en la que ya no puedes más ...y a veces llega ese momento dd no más ...honro a todas las almas valientes que viven experiencias de dolor ...Chester eternamente 🙌💜💫
He was a beautiful man!!! He wore his heart on his sleeve. He was spot on during this performance. There is only 1 Chester Bennington!!! He is severely missed, for his heart, soul, kindness, and talent! No one can replicate his passion and love ❤️ 😍 💖
To be honest,felt alot more emotion in the first performance and it made me feel like crying as I felt his struggle,something ive gone through before with addictions and chikdhood pains.The last performance though made me feel like hugging him and letting him know everything will be alright,Chester seemed like a lost soul there who needed alot of love.RIP Chester and thank you for all youve done for music
Breaking the habit is most difficult song to sing but in the first and last version he shows he's still fell the song even after 15 years his voice is full of emotions and sadness. I miss him so... 😔
Its not that hars to sing
@@arlenepace3104 it's Not only about the technique.M don't forget the feelings.
I will miss this man until the day I come to meet him in heaven.
Bro, you might not be going to heaven at all!
Actually it doesn't matter if you're a "good person", because no one is good but God, so actually we're all pretty BAD. Naturally we're all on our way to hell; But if we accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior and acknowledge our sins, recognize that they're evil, and confess them to God and turn away from them, we're saved from hell by Jesus, not by ourselves.
Thank you for your shared the memories this very well one to us. The man who was an angel till now and the future. I don’t know how we can compensate back to you
Man! Mike Shinoda is an amazing songwriter!
A voz ainda é linda , mas da pra notar uma tristeza profunda😢😢😢😢
Wow its chilling watching these performances….he was feeling it so strongly.
The last performance was just his demons talking
wow thats dark
Absolutely, i’m 💯 % agree with you
😔
Sounds like vocal cords to me
С первых аккордов мурашки по коже.. самый лучший вариант исполнения этой песни на мой взгляд!
Спасибо Честеру за то, что с юности и по сей день со мной..
man, that first performance made me actually to listen the lyrics! man, those feelings are something....
Seine Stimme ist soooo geil und ich habe mich auch ein wenig in ihn verliebt ❤. Trotzdem muß ich immer weinen wenn ich die Videos sehe. Bei my love 😢😢 😢
O Chester emociona demais!! Que voz sensacional ele tem!! Uma das vozes mais incríveis que já ouvi!! E nunca esquecerei!!
Piano is great especially with a voice like Chester
He was exhausted physically and mentally drained in the second performance. I picked up on his energy I couldn't stop yawning and feeling groggy throughout it. The first half his energy was raw raw raw powerful.
Tired truly.
My love goes out to you always Chester. This really opened my eyes
There will never be another human who walks this earth quite like Chester Bennington. Rest in peace. You're my hero.
No disrespect but he's just a singer of a rock band I mean I don't see what's so amazing
His vocals are truly unmatched. One of a kind.
06:56 Damn...
He knew it
He would do that a lot in his performances. This wasn't the first time
Picture this: from hating LP to loving LP. This very song did that to me 😉
i oove how artist literally gave there souls behind this shit u can see it if u look close. nothing but respect understanding and sadness
For a good decade I thought it was "you are a sound, I'm safer in my room" and it resonated with me as a child of divorce and hearing them fight all the time, sometimes on the brink of violence.
Amazing and beautiful
these people saying he struggling to sing, where the hell you guys put your ears on? hes singing well in both that performances
I can tell something is off with Chester. Could be drugs, could life. But something was in his body or an old memory crept into his head.
Dude, stop the blind fanboyism. The first performance was effortlessly perfect, in the last one he sounds like he's being strangled. His vocal performances were incredible and perfect in the early years but started deteriorating around 2007, eventually they just got kinda bad.
@@dvda9725 incridible how the internet give power for people to say whatever shit they want, pathetic
@@Gustavo-jq2sc Oh boohoo, free speech! It's called being honest, you *actually* pathetic fanboy, and it's *clearly* fucking true. There is absolutely no comparison between an early 2000s LP performance and a 2010s one, the difference is night and day. Whether you want to admit it or not, Chester lost it. I'm not even shitting on him, it happens to metal vocalists *all the time,* screaming and growling take their toll eventually, but Chester is a clear example of it.
@@dvda9725 yea these kids arent lp fans, chesters voice matured, couldnt make through music industry, dont understand how chester went through singing and screaming, your voice changes some lose it, like the kid that made this comment, they never seen every concert, only a few, so they made a comment, just a misunderstanding here, chester knew he was going to be murder, and chris was gone, not everyone will see that, very sad
Merry fing Christmas 🎄
This makes me cry because he’s so exhausted man gosh Chester I love you and I miss you so much you will always be my angel love ❤️
Wow .. This hit deep. I love this fucking man, you can tell he was definitely going through depression. R.I.P Chester Bennington.
@@VoidC13 You should seek help.
@@VoidC13nowhere? This man's career was built on *yelling* to the world that he felt numb, that things were crawling in his skin, that he never felt alright, felt paranoid, felt like he had no self control,
And you think this came out of nowhere? As if the millions of people who listened to a man scream for 17 years about mental health just never knew, and just "should've called someone?"
*really,* man?
I’m so sad to loose this beautiful soul and will ever feel this way
The thing i love the most about this song is the animated music video, it goes so hard.
In the first performance, at 3:40, it looked like he was about to cry man.
Expresaba como se sentía :(
Tu me manque tellement Chester ... J'espère que tu es en paix . Quand je re rejoindrai tu m'apprendra à chanter !
Je t'aime Chester !
I don’t get people saying he was done or he losed to his demons. Last performance was PERFECT. Stop inventing or reflecting your own bsht on a man that you didn’t know and actually let a beautiful legacy and message on every single performance ❤
seeing the last performance it's so clear that something is VERY wrong with Chester
💖💖💖
this is that one song that REALLY hurts every single time I hear it
Ok guys the comments always trying to analyze Chester are obnoxious and stupid. I’m sure he was enjoying these performances and wasn’t thinking about leaving us all the time. I feel like everyone keeps wanting to be Al analytical about his last days. Let it be y’all sound cringe
it is really weird hearing people talk about how "one more light was a goodbye note" and what you mentioned and all that jazz when he was literally like. making plans to collab with other artists and stuff in the days leading up to his death. if anything the information we have comes off more to me as he made that final choice really impulsively in a bad headspace (it's not something nearly as planned out most of the time as people think), but even then we don't know and shouldn't be making definitive statements, especially when we didn't even know the guy personally
Allot of synthetic sounds in this song...
The drummer is doing a good job...
Half of it...
Chester is all it!!!
R.I.P. buddy...
Сколько боли и усталости было сконцентрировано в нём, к сожалению это всё сломило его.....покойся с миром 😥
зачем я смотрю это в час ночи, я не хочу плакать
А нет, кажется всё-таки хочу
Да
7:27 That's so frightening. Only someone in complete pain could look like that- this was not a performance, it was him in his own bubble, so disgusted with life, blaming himself for having such severe depression, and a lot of self-hatred. Clinical depression eventually leads you to believe that it's your fault, you hate yourself because you think you've been such a burden on everyone.
It's such a scary feeling, you feel so extremely paranoid because you think that nobody wants to be around you. So you stay in your room. Yes, I'm in that stage right now, self-hatred because I think everyone is instantly rolling their eyes when I come out of my room. depression
Bro let it be , I'm also with you with your same thoughts , I don't know even what to do,but I'm saying you to relax and calm down for the sake of ourselves not anyone's..stay safe bro ❤ take care
Very good
We miss you Chester😭😢
Idk a whole lot but i went to one show carnivores tour in 2014 and chester and them fucking went OT and sang even more songs it felt like hours. They made their mark as legends for a reason
Im lostening to the entirety of meteora tonight, whole album made my childhood
U my heart. Thanks for all
In the final performance it feels like he was already fighting his demons, potentially with alcohol again already here too... heart breaking. His voice is so brittle and crushed at the final days... I miss this man so much. It hurts seeing him in that shape. Cornell really broke him
Those last performances were not some of his best vocally but you could tell it was just emotionally a drag to even get out on stage. CraY
He wasn't having problems with alcohol, otherwise he wouldn't have been basically sober when he passed. He'd barely had half a bottle of beer.
3:04 mixed up the words) The second chorus says "I'll never be alright " still the first performance with this song, so it can be understood
I like it more that way tbh
I miss you so much Chester...Wish you have in peace.
Would also love to hear first and last live performance of numb
I believe Numb was debuted at The Joint, Las Vegas on June 27th 2003 but there is no circulated recording of that performance unfortunately. :(
@@DannyHexUK not yet...published
@@GiBsOnX92 Not yet, but never say never!

Fly high Chester RIP
Смотрю и плачу, просто слезы, сука каждый раз…
I was at this concert on my birthday he was amazing 😢😢😢 what a loss😢😢😢
Still here listening 2024
His voice is probably the most unique in the world
They played this at the Rock Am Ring 2004 in Germany.
Chester had the best hair ever at that concert and it sounded really very good, were you there?
@@deinemutter7472 🥰🥰
I wonder if that crowd knew they were listening to something truly special for the first time.
