    Think how much better Temple Of The Dog would have been if Chester was doing backup vocals.

    Better than that fat bitch but not as good as with Ed. Chester sounds like a chick when he actually "sings" and the band he plays with is fluff rap-rock CRAP, please NEVER EVER mention them here again unless it is being used toi insult someone else (ie. they're as bad as Linkin Park)

    hey, I said I watched the video, I never said I listen so don't call me a liar OK.

    and for the record, Chester's voice is whiny and annoying!
    INDEED Linkin Park may be the MOST OVERRATED band of the last 25 years hands down, crying and whining isn;t conveying emotion

    the only thing that would make this song worse is if Chester sang with that chick from Sleater Kinney

    Well that made you sound pretty ignorant.
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    We all know Ed did a way better job. I like Linkin Park but come on, Ed is way above Chester and Ed suits this song so much better!

    Not a big LP fan but ive always thought Chester had a good singing/screaming voice. Did a good job to my ears....

    i am a LP fan. i think that some of thier stuff is really good. I have seen them a few times live, and they put on a hell of a show.

    I was wondering this Chris was going to do anything from TOTD on this tour, consideringin years past the show (projekt revolution) has bands play with other singers. much like Family Values started to do. sometimes it works, others not so much.

    i agree with people on here that say ou shouldnt judge a cover song based on the fact you dont like one of the people singing it. im sure there are countless Who fans that dont like PJ's version of LROM just because of Eddies voice.

    It's amazing how people get worked up over nothing.
    I saw Cornell a year ago and it was one of the best gigs I've seen. He played TOTD stuff, but not Hunger Strike. I wish I could have heard it, regardless if it was the LP singer or not.

    puh-leeze! If Chester came onstage during a PJ show and sang something like Indifference with Eddie, at least half of you would change your opinion in a heartbeat.

    Because as we all know... anything associated directly with Pearl Jam and/or Eddie Vedder is good. Anything done in contrast against the band or Eddie is an abomination.

    I think that Chris Cornell and Pearl Jam can cover that song with whoever they want as many times as they want, they have the same right...

    on the other hand, I think Chester is horrific! His voice is SOOOO annoying, never liked him since the very time I heard of them singing the horrendous song where he screeches "SHUT UP" .... thinking of Linkin Park makes me cringe...

    I know there are many people that hate the verson of hunger strike with Corin Tucker but I wouldn't necessarily call them music snobs though, Corin Tucker's voice doesnt appeal to everyone, I love Sleater Kinney and I love Corin Tucker... having said I don't think that disliking Linkin Park makes me a music snob...

    BUT Chester Bennington gives me a headache and I thought that version of Hunger Strike was dreadful! IMO

    Have you heard another song by them? Probably not.. I hated Linkin Park for Years.. I've been a Pearl Jam fan from the begining, but slowly began to like many non-radio Linkin Park songs.. THEY AREN'T THAT BAD.

    I have tried believe me, Im not one to dislike bands just because they belong to a particular scene.
    My roommate loved them and I gave them a shot but I just can not stand his voice, and there are a couple of songs that the music ain't that horrendous it's ok but his voice oh boy I just can't take his voice...

    I guess its hard to understand for others sometimes, like in my case I think Corin Tucker has such an unbelievable voice, very unique though some of my friends hate her because they just can't stand her voice...

    And saying TOTD would have been better with that douche instead of Ed wasn't ignorant? Fight fire with fire i say.

    In fact what I posted was considerably rude and offensive but not at all ignorant;)

    There is no duet out there that will do this better then ed and chris. When Ed's verse kicks in it puts goose bumps all over my body. But.... I happen to like linkin park and there mixes and a lot of there songs. So please don't make judgement about linkin park soley on this you tube clip. Chester is not that bad, you are all just pissed becasue he took on eddies roll and wasn't that great. I thought this video was cool because chester was rockin out and enjoying himself on stage. This tells me he has respect for Temple and the music we love. It's O.k. he was having fun
