    Wow. Wasn't associated with his music to be honest, but man, condolences to his family and people around him. Rest easy.

    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.

    Awesome thanks. ^^^^

    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.

    One of the best to ever scream.. 

    Faint and One Step Closer are still two of my go to songs. But my all time favorite... Lying From You. 

    Rest easy dude. 

    https://youtu.be/1V4FLUOlMks
    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.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    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.
