    That's real shitty.  Chester had 6 kids.  He's also my age.

    Man I hope this stops...

    Weren't they getting a lot of shit from their fans for changing their sound on the last couple albums?

    Agreed. Never got into them because they got big when I was knee deep in diapers with my kids. Didn't get into anything during that time.

    You posted one statement in a thread about him committing suicide. Why is it such a jump to think that they were related?

    Because I'm just your average Joe and the thought crossed my mind. I heard he literally told fans to go fuck themselves if they don't like the new music. I have no insider info. It was also a question, not a statement.  I'm out. Go judge someone else for saying something that they didn't say.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Addiction is a disease & it kills people. It never stops or goes away. Its a disease that's always 'on'. RIP.

    What in that which has been reported on this make you sure enough to explain it with "addicition"?

    RIP. 

    On Chris Cornells birthday too. He sang at his funeral.

    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.

    I loved their first album. It was actually quite fresh at the time. Can't believe that he is gone...

    Not a fan of Chester or Linkin Park, but I can certainly see how many could be comforted by their music.
    My condolences to his family, friends and fans.
