R.I.P Chester, he had the most amazing vocals
Yes. He's talking bout his parents. Theory is that John Podesta is his father. They look like twins. John Podesta iss actually a paedophile.. a politician & pedo!!!🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
These elite & stars are related. I believe John Podesta is his father 100%...his pedo father. Is why Lincoln Park was sooooooooooooooooooooooo passionate.. from suffering😩
This song 'Numb' speaks for itself. We need not be blind to the real hurt expressed here.😔
Agreed. We lost one of the best when he died.
Still breaks my heart!!
I cried so hard with him and Chris
There aren't many well known/big so good and versatile in the scene today. Many are good at one thing but not at everything. I have not head Chester growling/going extreme though so maybe he lacked that?
Every Linkin Park song hits the feels like this! Chester was very good at relaying his pains in his music. More Linkin Park recognition please. Help spread their messages!
Every? That's an exaggeration. This one is spectacularly good. Chester is such a better lyricist than the rapper dude.

@@NozUrbina Mike writes all the songs. He's *the* lyricist.
@@Axys_0_RexWhy is his rap so much worse than Chester's lines then? Rhetorical question. I'm not expecting an answer.
I came here to say this exactly! Thank you for saying exactly what i wanted to relay. I would like to put this comment here as a example of how right you are.
“You were just like me with someone disappointed in you!” Probably my #1 lyric all time. Billions across all generations can feel that on a personal level. Your reaction to it is exactly what I feel inside EVERY time I hear it. RIP Chester and thank you Linkin Park for putting into words what so many feel! Fire reaction!
That one line added an entire new level to the song. It went from being an expression of frustration and desire for independence to a lament about generational expectations and the lasting damage it caused. It could have ended in anger, instead they chose empathy.
"I'm still angry at my parents for what their parents did to them" is also a great one with a similar message. From Noah Kahan
Wanna know why Linkin Park was so great?
Here you have a dude who has never heard them, who doesn't even listen to their genre and the music, lyrics and feel of the song absolutely smashed this guy to bits. Despite difference in genre, Linkin Park was able to give voice to something deep down in him.
RIP Chester, the world was robbed the day you died
❤
spot on!
Pure facts here. The true core of LP, is that they spoke from the heart, and spoke about real, relatable issues everyone struggles with.
The way Teddy gets visibly emotionally influenced by deep meaningful relatable lyrics is so heartwarming. He feels and understand music not just listen. First time i heard this song i had the same reaction and hearing it again now with u Teddy makes me cry again. Thank you for making this channel and showing your pure soul to us. ❤
Best freshest reactor.

AND I KNOOOOOOW♥
Took the words right out of my mouth
I cried more watching Teddy react then when I just hear it alone.
You've been initiated now. Once you hear Linkin Park and Chester, you're hooked. It's been said that he has the voice of an angel who could scream like a demon. You be the judge.
That's actually a really good way to put his singing.
Great way to describe it.
Honestly the chester tribute where the audience sings this entire song to a spot-lit mic stand makes me bawl like a baby...
Chester has saved countless lives. His music helped us cope and help us feel not alone. The lives he saved, couldn't save him. He was so loved by millions but his demons and trauma was stronger. I miss him and his music. He's saved my life.
same man
They weren't..."stronger"...per se. Fighting these mental health battles isn't like a street fight. It's like a war. And you have to fight it like a war. You have an army of sorts, in your thoughts and feelings. But so does the "enemy". You need to keep your side better supplied, better trained...you need to know what you're doing, get intel on your foe, and use it.
THAT is why it's so hard. To face your inner demons is to face not one foe, but a legion of adversaries. And you need to handle it that way. You fight an army with an army.
As much as he tried, and as much as others tried to help, what happened to him happens to many others. Too uncoordinated in their efforts, too much pressure. Push your troops too far, and they eventually break. If they break too many times...some of them turn.
It's a sad consequence of our deep lack of understanding about both neuroscience and sociology. And frankly, philosophy, as well. It's a failure of not just the world's views and efforts toward mental healthcare, but the world's methods of education as well. Chester and those like him deserved better. Everyone does.
Mate if you've genuinely only just discovered Linkin Park your about to go on one hell of a journey. Great reaction buddy 👍
My thoughts exactly...! 😊😅❤
That my friend is Chester Bennington, RIP
The best singer in the world, i love linkin park and chester bennington ❤❤❤
I grew up in a very Christian family in the US. The only music we ever listened to on car trips and such was contemporary christian music or country. Then in 8th grade I heard this album at a friends birthday party, and bought a copy as soon as I could. For the first time someone was talking about the depression and pain that I was living with. For the first time ther was someone who understood what I felt. I still live with mental illness, and I still have that CD in its original case out where I can see it. Because when I am down, when I am suffering, when I am trapped in the darkest corners of my mind, this music is there to to show me that I am not alone. I am glad that they can be there for you too.
Someone, sometine, describes Chester like "the man who could sing like an angel while screaming like a demon".
As a long time fan of Linkin Park (since their first album came up, actually) I think that is the best possible description of Chester as a singer.
For all the rest that I'm not gonna go into now, well... Thanks Chester. Rest in peace.
Linkin park will always be my favorite band. I will miss Chester forever. Such a huge loss. 😭
To give you some background-
Chester had a rough life. He was sexually abused by a family friend from the ages of 7 to 13.
He was addicted to alcohol and drugs early on. The band really helped him. Chester passed in 2017. He could sing like an angel and scream like the devil.
The other singer/rapper is
Mike Shinoda also very talented. He plays piano, guitar, wrote all the music with Chester and other band members. He's also an amazing producer.

Just a quick correction: he didn´t "passed", he was taken out. Along with Chris Cornell, Avicii, Paul Walker, Anne Heche, Robin Williams and many others. Dig into it. Take care 🙏
i second catalyst, in the end, and new divide.
@@alego8601 C'mon, Chester had already attempted suicide before. Just 8 months earlier he tied his legs and arms behind his back and threw himself into his pool. But regreted it and managed to break free.

Omg this is so an perfect list i hope teddy will react to all this songs and to Nobodys listening too 🥰
I don't comment much, but I just want to thank you for such a genuine reaction. It's refreshing to see someone, not just reacting to Numb for the first time, but feeling it emotionally as many of us did back then. I would love to see more Linkin Park reations aha
Chester was a tortured soul and he was heavily involved in writing the lyrics for most - if not all - of their songs. He was incredibly talented, and through the band, their music has helped millions of people worldwide. I miss him dearly. Thank you for sharing with us 💜
I can't explain the struggle in my heart when I see this man crying. We love you man. So so much. And I am thankful for the fact that the music makes me know you.
seeing you react like a actual person with trauma should was so validating for me and i thank you from the bottom of my heart
If you wanna hear Chester’s ability to scream and continue to sing after listen to “ given up” but do the live one. These song are so relatable to so many. They help me personally feel my feelings instead of just living with them constantly idk if that makes sense
It does.
Nana, if you wanna hear that, go listen to qwerty.
THATS it. It won‘t go better
17 seconds straight, in the middle of the rest of it all...
Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington wrote the songs for Linkin Park for the first 6 albums. When they did the last Linkin Park album One More Light they decided to bring in some outside songwriters to try something different. Linkin Park was pretty much a self sufficient band because they had pretty much everything needed to make them famous. Every member of Linkin Park is multi-talented.
This song is 20 years old and has over 2 billion views on TH-cam. The music video is 19 years old this year.
You won't find a bad Linkin Park song. Some of my personal favorites are One Step Closer, High Voltage (a hip-hop song), Points of Authority, No More Sorrow, Chester's cover of Rolling in the Deep by Adele, and Heavy (from their last album).
Heavy is one of my favs too. Great song.
Even more, they reinvented themselves many, MANY times over the course of their career. At first I was mad when I expected 'more of the same' from their third or fourth albums, for example, because I'd fallen in love with their original sound from both 'Hybrid Theory' and 'Reanimation', and even reanimation was a different take on the former.
I learned after about three or four sessions sitting down and just playing through the entirety of Meteora at a shot something that would serve me well for all the later albums: Learn to love the differences. Embrace the new styles. Because everything later was almost, but not entirely, completely different, while having that same signature sound to their voices. All of it still spoke to you the same way the early albums did.
I think everyone who grew up with LP feels kind of the same way: This is the soundtrack to our lives, much the way the Beatles were for folks in the 60s and 70s, or ACDC and others were in the 80s.
They tried something new every album, there was no resting on what they established for a their sound. It's something I love about them, and will continue to love even if they will no longer produce any more albums. And I won't feel abandoned if they do stop, Chester's loss was hard on everyone involved with Linkin Park, the band themselves, the fans, their tour crew. I can't think of anyone who could replace, let alone reproduce, the sound and vocal style that Chester had.
I've been a fan since their underground and My December
Heavy hits so much harder now too - 😢😢
You know, this is the first time I’ve cried listening to this song. I’ve heard it hundreds of times, I’ve seen dozens of reactions, including people who were going through the meaning of the lyrics. And I’m lucky enough to have been raised in a more or less understanding environment, with my parents supporting and loving me even though they didn’t understand my choices for career development or others. I think more than anything my mother is actually happy that I didn’t follow her steps, because her career as a school teacher in Russia for the last 30 years led to nothing but poverty and oppression from the officials - but she feels that she can teach those kids something, and it’s her calling. She was I think the happiest person when I didn’t become a teacher like her, and she didn’t like, but understood completely when I wasted two years of my life working very low wage job as a gaming journalist, because I LIKED it and was happy to get into that industry even if the job itself was to put it mildly less than sufficient for survival. But this song and your reaction just now made me appreciate it all a lot, and I broke at “I may end up failing too, but I know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you”. I had a lot of close friends and schoolmates who were raised in such environments, and I don’t think I understood what they were going through just because even being raised without a father or without money to spare, I was mostly a lot happier than some of them, with parents who were drinking, or demanding, or beating them or just completely disrespecting them verbally. I had a friend in I think 3-8th grade, who was such a massive Linkin Park fan that it literally was the only band he listened to, I think he was the one to introduce me to them. But I had no idea back then, because I started learning English properly way, way later. And I think I’ve only now just realized how much this song and pretty much everything Chester and Mike wrote was speaking to him.
Dude!......Bless your ❤ for your raw genuine honesty❣️ Welcome to the Chester Bennington/ Linkin Park journey.....the more you listen the more you will love along with feel the 💔heartbreak💔 of such a beautiful but troubled soul. His gorgeous iconic voice & deep yet dark touching lyrics....will leave you asking....
'' How did we loose such a loving & amazing gift from God"
Their song "Crawling" came out when I was about 15 and had just developed a really scary (for me) mental illness. It wasn't a time when there was any really good support for mental health, especially for kids, and I felt ao ashamed that I just couldn't tell anyone. So I suffered in silence and cried in my room, but whenever Crawling came on the radio, god it was so cathartic. I hope you get a chance to listen to it. And i'm so much better now. :)
Same, tbh. I could never figure out why Linkin Park resonated with me so much, until a good 12 years later when I was getting treatment for my depression and I could look back and pinpoint the fact that Linkin Park put words to feelings I was unable to express. I know a lot of people rag on them-=-or they used to-- but Linkin Park is a band close to my heart and important to me for the support it gave in confusing and trying times.
Wow
Same. I discovered LP at 12 y/o, and basically permanently borrowed Hybrid Theory from my older brother. I listened to it on repeat. Then later alternated between that and Shinedown's Leave a Whisper. They both were able to help me process my complicated emotions surrounding being neurotypical + childhood trauma + my mom being terminally ill. I don't know what I would've done without their music. Eventually God rescued me out of that pit a few years later, but I'll never forget the role LP had in my life so early on.
I first heard "One Step Closer" I believe in Middle School and that was groundbreaking for me. It was 'screamo' but was different because of the 'rap-rock' sub-genre. But the lyrics weren't about some girl or about trying to be different...it was about going through a mental breakdown and no one understanding how close someone is to breaking until it's too late. A feeling I was dealing with from the age of 10yrs old to 25. For once, I felt like I was being heard...just by listening to Linkin Park.
Crawling is such a damn good song. All of their songs in Meteor and Hybrid were amazing. I love Crawling and Numb both. Numb because I was one of those nerdy artist in school, and Crawling now because of my own mental health struggles. Maybe its because he was pouring his own pain and struggles into his music, that it really reaches out to and means something to those of us who've gone through similar things. That sort of "I'm not alone in this" feeling that kinda comforts you. Specially back in the 90s/2000s when mental health was still something rarely touched on by society.
I believe " one more light" from Linkin Park could be an amazing choice for you, it has Chester (the leadsinger) in his raw voice with a very simple instrumentation and the story it tells can reach anyones heart in my opinion. For the fans this meant a lot as it felt like Chester could see you, for Chester it meant a lot because his best friend died and for Linkin Park it meant a lot because Chester died soon after the release. It is another example of a song that has so many meanings depending on the listener.
I'm 45 with a 23 year old son that I don't have the best relationship with. He was born shortly after Linkin Park really hit the scene, so I remember them from the beginning, but I've had my own struggles through the years and their music came back to me a couple years ago. It helped me a lot even as a grown man, because my son could easily be singing this song to me. Go for the ride bro. They have so much more great music. And once again, great reaction. I feel the feels.
Mate, fix it. Even if you have to swallow your pride, fix it.
Good luck and God bless.
@@randomlyfactual1943 for real @iesickboy one of the strongest thing you can do as a parental figure is admit your own mistakes, and never do it expecting the response you want. do it because it's the right thing to do. hopefully he comes back to you. worst case scenario he may not see you as a father but you can at least be a confidant/friend.
I hope you and your baby find each other again. That's all he is. Your baby. He'll never not need you.
im 23 listenin to Linkin Park. I wished I saw them live at least once. :/
I was born in 1990 so I was coming of age when LP had their greatest hits; still sad about Chester.
The song you've probably heard was Numb/Encore which is a mix song of Jay-Z and LP. They had a bunch of songs together, but that's the most known.
I love you reacting to them. They have helped so many teens through their childhood, including myself. They deserve all the praise
Great stuff Teddy! Your ability to react so open and emotionally to a song like this is impressive.. i feel like songs like "Crawling" or "In the End" from Linkin Park could touch you as well.
I think these two-as well as Points of Authority and Lost- would be my recommendations too!
Maybe castle of glass as well
Yes....! I learnt to play 'In The End' on the piano as I love it so much & 'Crawling' is just.... WoW ... Epic Lyrics and Epic Lyrical delivery, I break everytime I hear it ❤
Linkin Park was the first band (and artist in general) I've ever loved and they'll always have a place in my heart. Their lyrics saved me so many times, I couldn't help but cry watching to this reaction too.
That's a simple but powerful song, that's why it hits so hard. Great to see you absorbing the lyrics and the message so well.
now we can have that one hour with linkin park you promised, right? 👀 ik you're gonna love each one of their songs, especially when the rap parts comes.
Chester was an amazing soul but very tortured. He is missed by his fans and his music will live on to remember what a wonderful person he was.
Hi Teddy. Here is a spanish 43 year-old-daddy from Madrid. English was not my first language but when this song burst out in my ears in 2003, twenty years ago, I felt EXACTLY the same sensation you have shown in your honest reaction. And because of the same reason: understand the difference between the parents to their children, but also how similar every generation is just desperately seeking to build our own path in life. This song helped me 20 years ago, and now I have children helps me again because of the perspective it gave me then. Do not worry about your tears, because that only show you have a soul and you are doing well your own path, mate.
So, at this point, only I can suggest you is looking for Linking Park album "Meteora" and book around 2 hours of life just for yourself. Do nothing else than pay full attention and enjoy it intimately with headphones... and welcome to the club, man 😉
Beautiful comment brother, I'm sure your kids are loved by such a good man. Greetings from Ireland from a 35 year old daddy who also loves Linkin Park. Peace and love man 💚🤍🧡
@@Wolfe-Tone- Always a pleasure to salute a friend of the north. Is the magic of the good music: connect people from different places even when we are thousands of miles away from each other 🤝
R.I.P Chester. I love your reaction it doesn't matter how many times I hear this song I want to cry because I know how hard this song speaks to. It's an mirror image of how I've felt
Yes Teddy, they re-mixed this song with Jay-Z. Thats probably where you’ve heard it before. Linkin Park has so many relatable songs and I’m sure you will love them as much as millions have already. Their library is huge but I would try Faint, Crawling, Papercut, In The End, or One Step Closer next. Papercut has more rap in it and One Step Closer has a little more metal and aggression.
They didn’t even just remix it, Jay-Z and Mike Shinoda decided they should just re-record everything for all the songs on Collision Course.
It’s a generational thing and you stopped it from passing down. It stopped with you. This song always makes me cry because I feel exactly how you felt. Amazing amazing and complete honest reaction.
New sub here, but I HAVE to say, it's beautiful to see someone discover LP and actually FEEL Chester's words in their soul. That's what he wanted. He didn't just sing cuz he was good at it. He sang what was in his soul and shared it with us. The range in his voice is his range of emotions. The angels wept when he died. I know I did.
Linkin Park, they are my whole adolescence. Thanks to them, I was able to put words on my pains and externalize them to feel so much better. "Numb" was the first song that helped me. The lyrics, the music, the energy, the emotion of this song has something catharsis.
If you’re young, if you feel lost, if you want someone to shout or scream for you, feel free to go listen to Linkin Park, don't be hesitate. Really.
I understand you, Teddy, when you’re a parent, you don’t want your children to experience what you’ve experienced, especially when you come from far away. Do not repeat our mistakes, live the same pains.
It’s hard. Because we can’t and we can’t protect them from everything. Let us rather be the buoy to shake, the rock to which they can cling if one day they are wounded.
I send you all a lot of good positive vibes!
Chester was such a talent. What a huge loss his passing was! Every LP song is incredible. Thank you for reacting!🙏🏼❤️
I've just stumbled upon your channel.
What a way for me to start. You've had me in tears. I never listened to Numb like this before as I was never a big Linkin Park fan - just a casual listener. It's given the song a whole new meaning.
You've just gained a sub mate.
Bro u are incredible. I literally cried with u
Same here 😢
This is why we love Linkin Park.
Mike and Chester were a power duo for songs that just ripped into your being. Thank you for reacting to this and I can't wait for you to check out more LP. ❤️🔥
Thank you so much for this genuine reaction Teddy!
I believe am about 15 yrs older than you and when this song came out, in my part of the world it was played so often for so long, that even though I originally loved it, it was to the point that I never revisited it for the last decade at least because it was so overplayed.
But to watch someone listening for the first time and connecting to it so emotionally, it was like hearing it again for the first time and I can remember how it felt to be that past version of me. This is the real magic of reaction channels but it takes someone like you to be willing to be so emotionally open on camera and not just casually throwing a judgement of good vs. bad at it. You are a gem amongst reactors, thanks again!
Chester was THE voice for my generation... I was born in 1984 an had a horrid childhood an upbringing.. - Chester & Linkin Park = putting words to our emotions...
Allowing us to understand how we felt, by showin us his own broken an raw heart....
He helped so many in ways that saved us an gave us a release he was never able to obtain himself.....
You should watch the live version of Crawling *In my skin..... the video that shows him with the fans and being hugged and touched while performing..... That will bring ALL ur demons out for you to heal.... @Greyracha
Omg I felt that so much when you're talking about your parents. Both of my parents are also alcoholics and even though I got caught up in the drinking in my younger years, I now haven't had a drink in years and my kids have never seen me drunk. My grandparents also were heavy drinkers. We CAN break those generational curses. Chester was just the most relatable guy. I truly think that's why they blew up so big. He could speak to anyone's pain. We lost a real one when we lost him.
Yes finally! You’re gonna fall in love with the band, I guarantee it!
Beautiful reaction my man. I’m looking forward to more Linkin Park on your channel, I really think you’re going to love them. 🤘🏼 ❤
I miss him. He always hit right in the gut. Such a loss in the community. Linkin Park raised me. They helped me through so much. I hope you keep going
I cried because of your reactions... thanks...!
But seriously, that's why i love the arts. As you said, "art is subjective." It's a beautiful thing.
Thank you for sharing a bit of your life because of the reaction to this song
I also grew up with an alcoholic single mother and I also don’t drink 😊
You’re actually stronger than you think you are 💪
Great reaction Teddy ❤️
I love that you've never seen Chester but know his voice, it's one of the most iconic voices ever, he'll always be a true legend
Man, havent listened to LP in a while. Came across your reaction. Damn this song means more to me as an adult than it did when i was a teen. I’m with you, tearing up and cant believe how good they really are.
This made me emotional! As soon as you started speaking of your kids jeez! I’m a parent myself and I feel the same way as you. I never want my daughter to feel that way EVER! The lyrics of that song totally hit home. Thanks for sharing 😊
I'm alrdy in tears
This was such a raw video and seeing your genuine reaction was so beautiful. Their music connected so many people with this messages and it’s message is so strong and just resonated with so many people and it’s truly amazing how many can relate and feel that same sense of solidarity and feel seen with these lyrics 🖤🖤 Genuine guy, amazing video. Continue your journey 🩶
Don't worry sweetheart I'm in tears 2 and I got chills all over every time I hear Linkin Park all their songs do this to me so back in the day that I got through with their music and thank God for that so just let it out if it means punching things if it means crying it doesn't matter it's all good we all love Linkin Park rip Chester we miss him so much we want more but he's gone and he's in heaven and he's proud that we're listening to his music and understanding what he went through and we have to be strong and not go through it and he helped us through thank you for your show I'm proud that you're having a good show love you and God bless
U are such a passionate guy who has no insecurity in sharing ur emotions w others. We thank u for ur refreshing honesty 🙏
Beautiful reaction. You get it. Time for more LP. They wrote their own stuff. Seeing them live was one of the greatest concerts I’ve ever been to. RIP Chester 🙏🏼
Welcome to the emotional roller coaster of linkin park!! My favorite band of all time right here.. rip Chester, you sang like an angel, but could scream like the devil 🤘
You're reaction is pretty much how I felt as a teen hearing this. Hearing his pain, made me feel like I wasn't alone in what I was feeling, and with that was she sheer amount of empathy I felt with all that felt it. Check out the first concert after Chester died. The crowd singing instead of him, you could feel the mourning.
When music is real,,, its speaks to your emotions... Linkin Park speaks to your soul... grateful for what they helped me through...
Man oh man... Linkin Park is a one of a kind band, and Chester a one of a kind voice. I think you would thoroughly enjoy more of their music.
Welcome to LP. They raised us with these strong messages and many of us are still here bc of them ❤
Definitely a religious experience... Chester's voice heals! He was an amazing man! I loved your reaction!Thank you for that!
RIP Chester, he was an angel tormented by many demons, he was with us a short time, but what he left behind is a legacy no one will forget.
Their songs hit so deep. They influenced/helped a whole generation. Thanks for your honest reaction! I heard this so many times and it still gets me.
❤️🔥 When u experience music, I can LITERALLY feel it in my soul... ur energy is SO PALPABLE!
I've been listening to Linkin Park from day 1 and I'm 54 now and will always love them. The day Chester died I felt like I lost part of me. In the end is my favorite song by them❤
You are, by far, the most authentic reactor there is and it's not even close.
Numb / encore is the Hip Hop version that was mixed with Jay-Z. It was part of their colab EP called Collision Course
One of the biggest emotional reactions in my life was right after Chester died Godsmack did a tribute in VR (I was an early adopter) infront of a live audience in a park talking about mental health. I broke down completely.
You and me brother! Linkin Parks music always hit so close to home for me! Even more so now that I have kids and grandkids. We just lost our daughter in January and I look back at all the wasted time that we'll never get back!
Chester had the most special voice. So much emotion but also technically excellent 🥹🤘🏻
Absolutely love this band. They were fabulous to see live
"I apologize to metal" *speaks to a hanger 😂😂😂😂😂
This is the Linkin Park experience. I love your honesty and I'm happy to see that LP's music still hits home like this even for younger generations. I've always loved their lyrics and the combination of different elements in their music. Now I'm just sitting here watching you react and I'm smiling because I know they are gonna heal more and more people despite the fact that Chester is no longer with us. Thank you for this and you keep doing you. You seem like a honest and interesting person, you are making great points and have unique POVs so big shout out to you.
Meteora (the album this song is from) was the first CD I ever bought with my paper round money when I was 13. I’m 34 now and still have this CD, one of probably 5 I kept back after getting rid of the rest of them. It’s timeless and every time I hear it is a throwback to the time where I was forming my own musical decisions and forming my views on the world, life, relationships, etc., and the first time I started to understand musical metaphors and hearing the stories and motifs in lyrics. Linkin Park affected most of the people I grew up with in once way or another, they transcend music and Chester’s writing was always sublime. I can’t believe I got to experience this album in my lifetime, it changed music going forward, I’m certain of it. And as someone with autism, the comfort and safety the sounds in the song bring me based on memories and associations are unreal. I get so much sonic feedback from the breakdown too, it’s a sensory sound bath. Album of its’ decade, a solid 10/10
❤ it reminds me of my youth. Thank u. Now i'm more with kpop .(SKZ all around world)😊
This song has been on every playlist I have ever had anywhere for the last 20 years. It came out the year my son was born and today he loves Linkin Park even though I never ever influenced his taste in music. I think that says a lot.
Teddy… I haven’t said this in any of my comments before, but I do admire the honest emotional reactions in every one of your videos (even though I mostly only watch the SKZ ones). Just keep it up and keep it real… Nina
This is my favorite song of all time, ever. I have lyrics tattooed from this song. I want this played at my funeral. I wanted to name one of my sons after Chester Bennington.
This band got me through my teens. Without Chester's voice, and the music of LP, I don't know if I would be here still.
I am so in love with Chester 💔 I saw their last ever show. It was incredible. Chester was so, so beautiful 💔
Chester and Mike wrote most of the lyrics (the beautiful one, and the piano player/backing vocalist).
Chester had a lot of really awful things happen to him as a child, and he was ruthlessly bullied in school. He struggled with substances for most of his life. It's funny you said he didn't look the way you expected (he was so beautiful 😭) - he used to tell everyone he was going to be a rockstar when he grew up ❤
Your reaction made me cry!! I'm so sorry for you went through. You're so brave to share ❤
I, like many fans, feel like I have lost a loved one 😔 💔
There are a lot of remixes of this song. Loads. You've definitely heard it
I just love how insightful you are. Please keep reacting ❤
This is one of those tracks that defines a lot of my life... both in the songs content and also because of where I was in my life when this song came out - one of the many reasons why Linkin Park was one of a kind and still is to this day... Chester was an insane vocalist, his pain and emotions were always front and center.
I related to that song so much when it came out … Chester I will always be grateful for the talent you had … 🙏🏻♥️
I love the endings to your vids the most. Music’s over time to dig in. I don’t think you know how relatable you are man. You really explain things with an emotional insight that is refreshing.
One of the best reaction ive ever seen. Thank you and keep going on this band!
Loved your reaction, Teddy. You always go deep and keep it authentic and human. Good on you for breaking the cycle with your family. Also, you challenging your musical biases is a great journey for me too. I know this song but never knew the back story. Thanks to all of the comments for the education.
Love your reactions. You make me laugh while crying. Love your true honesty with your reactions.
Loved how honest and raw your reaction was. 💙
What an authentic and genuinely amazing reaction hats off to you
Such a heartfelt reaction. You are not alone in how you feel. If you haven't already, please check out the song Lost.
Absolute incredible reaction…I’ve heard this song a hundred times and it still hits. When you paused before the “disappointed in you” lyric I was like oh, god here comes the haymaker! Chester’s story is written in his music, which on one hand is tragic but I believe he’s still reaching and helping people. 💯 relate to your thoughts after…fire reaction man 🔥
Love this reaction , just found your reactions . Thank you for being so authentic 💗
Brother, I felt those emotions. Thank you for sharing so much here. I absolutely loved this reaction!!
I would suggest In the End, somewhere I belong, Castels of glass. There are so meny and they are all incredible. Chester had in my opinion the widest range in his voice. I miss him RIP.. I do love this song as well.
Thank you for this Teddy! I had to watch this again after the live and of course cried with you, again. LP has a few songs that hit like this but this one is the one that does every.single.time. and this is why I love your reactions. You see, hear and feel the music like I do and that's rarity in my personal life. So glad I have you and Greyracha to help me not feel so lonely in the chaos that is my head.
Absolutely love the raw emotions you experience in these reactions. Thank you for letting us in and your own personal vulnerability in your similarities to the lyrics and story. Its powerful beyind words when an artist taps directly into our lives. Chester touched so many, helped ao many, and sadly left the world way too soon.
Thank you for your video and this reaction. It is like giving this song new breath... I see your reaction and have my own tears
This was a great reaction to this great group. I can honestly say I miss Chester so much and haven’t really listened to their music since he took his life. It was breathtaking to see this video again.
Ohhhhh yessss, here we go
bro i feel the exact same way as you thank you for your genuine reaction and letting out your emotions. something that i struggle to do and i cant seen to find a way out of this loop of emotions that im going through. but when i watch your videos it just seems to calm me down just to know that im not alone.
R.I.P Chester, one of a kind.
Thank you for this reaction. Linkin Park has been an integral part of my growing up, straighten me up in my teen years. So much hurt and pain but its all up to our own mind to be in control. So many masterpieces from this one group, the lyrics and the vocals are phenomenal.
Thank you for keeping the image of Chester alive... So sad that he helped so many but no one was able to help him...
RIP Chester 🙏, I get teary eyed every time I listen to any of their music
Some of the lyrics in their songs and hearing Chester singing them with so much pain are even more devastating now. RIP Chester 😭
From what I know, Chester (singer) and Mike (rapper who didn't really feature in this song except some adlibs) write the music together or sometimes alone with feedback from each other. Which makes Chester's singing with those lyrics even more heartbreaking... I'm just gonna be stuck on that all day 😔 but they are amazing and I hope you continue to listen to them and enjoy.
Maybe try Crawling... also In The End has a lot of similar themes to this Numb but is mostly rap compared to this one. One Step Closer was their first big hit that got them mainstream attention, again similar themes to Numb but expressed more angrily.
One thing that is really cool, in my opinion, is that they took their whole album Hybrid Theory, and remixed every song (drastically) in a new album called Reanimation. It could be cool to compare and contrast which versions you like more!
Yep, that's the hardest thing now to watch the Linkin Park music videos and listen to the lyrics ! It just makes you think how much pain and suffering he must've fought through...
Thank you for being so raw ♥️ hearing this as a teen it spoke so deeply to me, and it still hits now. They cut straight to the heart, don’t think I’ve ever properly listened to this and not got a lump in my throat bare minimum
Man thank you for your honest reaction and this assiduous breakdown of this song!
