Why? Because he's from Linkin Park, and therefore, everything he touches turns to shit? Because Pearl Jam fans are only allowed like bands that everyone has pre-agreed on? Because people are so caught up in sucking Ed off that Hunger Strike sans Ed is an abomination, but Hunger Strike sans Chris - the guy who wrote the song - is perfectly acceptable, even when Andrew Stockdale is butchering the song to within an inch of its life?
The dude sucked but sometimes it doesn't even matter what it sounds like. Barbara Streisand can sing, does that mean you wanna hear her singing Hunger Strike. I hate to inform you but, sometimes it just doesn't matter what a singer sounds like but the integrity of a singer is very important. Bob Dylan, Tom Waits and many others prove this. Great songwriters and artists are often times way better to listen to than someone with just a great voice. That dude has neither by the way. Music doesn't have to be all bubble gum and cotton candy, sometimes grit is needed. I would rather hear Corinne Tucker fart into a microphone than listen to linkin park do anything.

We're not talking about Linkin Park, we're talking about Chester
If the rapper guy had been trying to do the song, that is one thing
But Chester actually has a decent set of pipes. And regardless of what you think of what he has written, he can sing it pretty damn well.
all you elitists who care more about credibility than sound are fucking ridiculous and i can't believe you call yourselves music fans. It's always been about mood and emotion, not about whether you sucked the correct genre tit or not.

Get a clue.
no shit, it's not ALL about credibility and integrity. read what i said, that dude can't sing aswell as the fact he is a horrid songwriter. i'm glad you like him, people like justin timberlake,usher and Nickelback aswell. why you guys like them i'll never know but have fun and enjoy em (for the 5 minutes they are here).
ps - i have clicked on this thread 4 times now. everyone knows the rule is, if you click on a thread 5 times or more that talks about someone in linkin park being good, you instantly get loser pussy disease. thats where you loose all music taste and you watch mtv 5 hours a day and you become a weenie. so i won't be a clicking back in here.
Chester Bennington is horrible talentless little man that screeches and screws his face up in order to try and achieve a fake angst. I've noticed he has a bad habit of pulling the microphone away from him as he's singing... why? If he had any knowledge of vocal work (or a strong enough voice to warrent this technique) he would know how to control his voice instead of playing to the crowd and trying to achieve credit for being a good vocalist. He perfectly exhibits what's wrong with rock music today... Image over substance.
Twat.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

If the integrity of the singer matters, why is Chris Cornell even singing it at this point? Fact of the matter is, Chris wrote that song, and whoever he chooses to sing it with is up to him, and I'll judge it based on how good it sounds, not how indie-credible the singer is.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
It was not bad. It was not Eddie, But it passes. The people who said it hurt their ears are for some reason not being honest, like they feel threatened. Ed will live. He don't live and die by this board. Not a bad performance. It even sounded good.
Your right, Chris isn't Ed. And Chester isnt Chris.
Chris was singing ed's parts, and chester was singing chris' parts. I guess chris figured he can sound alot more like Ed himself than chester could sound like Ed.
Cornell wrote Hungerstrike. He likes to play Hungerstike at his shows. He needs another singer to sing the two-part harmony. There is another band on the bill, so he recruits the singer from that bill.
It doesn't really matter what it sounds like. Fuckin' hell. You people have to nitpick every single fuckin' thing ...
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
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)

Well that made you sound pretty ignorant.

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...

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

But no eddie or conell, thats for sure;)

yeah i agree..
linkin park would totally suffice in the "overrated" department ..
