    I'll never forget the day Chester passed. My old band had a practice scheduled and we all showed up without really saying a word. We had never practiced it as a band but our guitarist started playing the intro to numb. Then our bassist joined in. Our drummer. Then my co vocalist and I performed the entire song by memory, and it to this day still feels special, Like there was a different energy in the room when it came over us. RiP Chester. You inspired millions

      I was just doing random stuffs then the news hit, and I was frantically asked everyone I knew (loved LP) just to be like “No please let it not be real”, and I was in an emotionless state. We held a memorial day for Chester in a Hardrock Cafe.
      About a month later or so I went to Australia, got ready to study my degree there and Numb played in Target. I was almost down on my knee crying, kept repeating “Rest Chester, it’s alright now”

      Deftones is also another great example of incredible riffs with simplicity. In fact, Deftones is one of LP's biggest influences when it comes to their guitar works. It's like you could hear some elements of Stephen Carpenter in Brad Delsons riffs, especially when it comes to their early nu metal sound.

      Agreed. Rammstein always gets shit on for simple riffs, but don’t understand the musicianship to were they were able to continue to make/use simple riffs throughout their entire career and it’s so damn good. It also helps that Rammstein do easily the best concerts you can ever go to.

    Had a lot of mixed emotions with this song. The fucking SECOND the guitar starts you're just smacked in the face with THAT sound. That Hybrid Theory/Meteora sound. Then the chorus kicks in and it's Chester just doing a vocal style he hadn't done really since Meteora. It made me so happy at first and then the chorus hit and I got so sad cause we'll never get this thing again. I hate that Chester is no longer with us. This was the band that got me into anything heavier then rap back in the day. It changed the path of my life in regards to music. It means SO much to me and I don't even think I realized it

    I feel like Linkin Park is still ahead of its time, from Hybrid Theory - Living Things, they all sounded unique and fresh, The Hunting Party is amazing for being heavy, while One More Light on the other hand its a Pop Album and not to discredit them, i think they can make Pop music work, its just Chester's vocals were to raw for some of the songs. Still every album they made still sounded different from each other and still sounds they were ahead of the curb, even One More Light the pop music made sounded so much better then what other pop artist have made.

    Mike is doing with this 20th anniversary edition the same as with the original album. They released Somewhere I Belong first, which was a more subtle approach to the sound they were known for with HT, but it was a bang too and could easily be compared to Lost. Then they released Faint, which, while it sounds even harder than Fighting Myself, it still hits harder than the former single. It's like Mike wants to repeat even the way they promoted the album.
    By the way, that backing vocals of Chester singing "inside of me" in the last chorus reminds me of Hoobastank. They do that a lot as well and it's a band of which I like many songs

    There are two notes added to the chords. 3rd fret + 7 on the d string. 5th fret + 8 on the d string. It's the cherry on top. Love it❤

    This song is pretty much a trip down memory lane that is able to feel different. Makes me remember watching Meteora Live in Texas, over and over again with my older brother in a DVD and being amazed by the sheer stage presence of Chester and his energy.
    Fond memories.

    I've been listening to them since they came out, love them so much, they're my number 1 favorite band. Chester's singing is just so beautiful and haunting. I can't get enough of it, and LP has simple riffs that mange to punch through and be memorable, and their songs age like wine

    An interesting about the intro I don't see anyone else talking about is the reversed intro has the exact same formula as Somewhere I Belong
    The message is reversed, but the order of the words still are reversed as well, just like how they did the guitar intro. Reversed, the order is 4 - 3 - 2 - 1, they clipped the audio tracks to put them back in the order of 1 - 2 - 3 - 4.
    The original message just reversed is "happen to this wanted never I." -> "I never wanted this to happen."
    So cool!

    0:15 Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Breaking Benjamin mostly from what I've noticed, but sometimes Korn, Three Days Grace (w/ Adam), Deftones, and Otep are other late 90s-early 2000s alt-metal bands that influence later metal bands.

    Linkin Park has such a unique sound that it's pretty much iconic. I can instantly tell by the opener for most of their songs that it's them playing.
