Very sad news...... CCs death must have been eating at him but christ man he's got six kids that are going to be totally screwed... Thinking of his family and I hope he has found peace because this is getting tragic..
Poor guy. He had a troubled life which must have been too hard to overcome.
I was not not a fan of first album but learned to appreciate it more after listening to Meteora which I thought was phenomenal! Their sound started to change and by Minutes to Midnight they were nothing like Hybrid Theory. By A Thousand Suns I fell out of favor but respected that they tried to evolve. People call that selling out but I think eventually we all just grow up. I mean half this board is still waiting for Angry Eddie to reappear. Give it up! Anyway RIP. Our healthcare system has no fucking clue on mental illness...and I am a doctor.
Like
most people I was a pretty big fan of their first two albums. After
their third album I pretty much lost interest. Live they were pretty
decent I remember seeing them a few times at festivals like family
values tour and summer sanitarium tour.
His stuff with stp was pretty good as well I suppose.
The guy was a surefire perfect replacement for Weiland while he sang with STP. I've been an on and off Linkin Park fan since the first album, and to have him and Cornell leave us is incredibly saddening.

i remember at the time thinking that maybe a promotor put those shows together to move more seats? But it made a lot of sense. Avocado and Minutes to Midnight were the albums of that time and both had the same exact theme with Chester's lyrics being a bit more obvious and direct in regards to bush and war.

I loved Faint and Lying from You, but Given Up became my favorite for running. That song blared in the weight room at work throughout the summer of 2007 and my co workers would come in and give me that look like, "WTF?" Usually after that last elongated scream. Although, the Slipknot usually disturbed everyone more. Wasn't always a fan, but respected how they evolved.

LP opened for PJ in Chorzow / Poland in 2007 and as as far as I remember the above qoute about beeing in the same place where PJ is in 10-20 years is from Chorzow
Six kids. Honestly my reaction to this is pissed off. This was obviously thought out and planned ahead of time based on coordinating with Cornell's birthday. Ask for help! You have six kids.
I am just giving my honest response here. I understand the power of depression and despair and perhaps he was on drugs. But you have six kids, time and money.
Just another example than fame fame and money isn't everything.
As far as the kids thing ive come to the conclusion that your rational thinking and parental instincts must be totally gone at that moment. As a parent tho that's always my first thought too.
i wish depressed people and suicidal folks could get the help they need. All of them. Its not embarassing its a disease. Family members who shame depression are ridiculous.
Another great artist, who spoke out for many social issues, is gone. So many great memories involve his music playing in the background. They separated themselves pretty quickly from their genre. Very unique sounding band.
