So a few minutes ago Chester Bennington committed suicide. #RIPChester http://www.tmz.com/2017/07/20/linkin-park-singer-chester-bennington-dead-commits-suicide/
Never listened to Linkin Park as much, like a few of their songs, but this is honestly shocking. RIP Chester
Congested, unedited, single take and bad, but I just don't care. Edit ----------------- May as well add the post that went with this cover ----------------- Today, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park passed. I was hit pretty hard when Chris Cornell passed, but Chester and Linkin Park have been a big part of my life for a lot of years. I respected his vocal talents and the artistic creativity of the band. I listen to them every day. They are my morning alarm, they are all over my I-pod and they are often times what gets me moving. In honor of Chester, I decided I'd do an Acoustic cover of one of their latest releases 'Heavy' from their newest album 'One More Light' I performed a single take, added in some soft piano and listened to it back. It was meh. It has flaws. I wanted to do more takes. I wanted to do some pitch correction. To try and clear up my congestion. I wanted to fix it and make it great. But life has flaws. Life has weight. Sometimes you need to let your vulnerability be exposed and accept that not everything is perfect. It is in this experience that you may just grow.
My best friend actually met Chester a few years back at our local city fair. I really enjoyed Linkin Park's music, its sad to see another legend like him pass.
