People who have never suffered with depression can never understand how it feels. It doesn't matter how good things around you are. If the space inside your head isn't good. Nothing is good. I'm so sick of hearing people say to get over it. If it was that simple. Nobody would be depressed. Who would choose to feel hopeless. To not be able to enjoy watching your children grow up. To do anything to numb the pain. To not think about all the things swirling inside your head. Never sleeping. Never enjoying, anything. It's a horrible existence. One I've been battling with since I was a young child. I understand why Chester is gone. I just wish someone had been there to help him when he was hopeless. If you know someone who is depressed. Being there when they need you is the best thing you can do. Just listen. Understand. Don't judge. Don't question. Just let them know that they are not alone

The only famous person that died that affected me so much. Still miss him.

A piece of me died when he did. His music got me through a lot of bad times as a kid. It was always relatable and comforting to know I wasn't the only person that felt like that. He will always be my favorite musician of all time

When I was in highschool, my schoolmates hated me for loving Linkin Park because they're too "overrated". They're the first heavy band that I listened to. They're my heroes! Their shit opened up the world of metal to me! RIP Chester Bennington and long live Linkin Park!!!

Chester lived a neighborhood over from me and my family. My dad got his tats from the Club Tattoo Chester owned and the same shop sponsored the team he was on. My dad said he was one of the sweetest people ever. I’m still not over his death. We miss you Chester, rest easy

Really hate that we lost him. I didn't really know him like a friend or anything but I met and hung out with him briefly once in 2002 and once in 2003 at PR tour concerts. He was the nicest guy and seemed genuinely appreciative that his fans came to see him.

Chester got me through some hard times in my life. I was being bullied and I almost committed suicide but when I listened to Linkin Park, I felt like I wasn’t alone. Thanks for everything Chester. 🤘🏽

Chester was a beautiful human being. 🖤

The saddest I’ve ever been after a celebrity passed away was Chester’s death. I haven’t been the same since.

Dealing with Chester’s passing was harder than losing family members and still bothers me to this day. We’re all devastated Chester is gone but eternally grateful that he lived and made music that meant so much to millions of people. I never met or knew Chester, but growing up listening to their music over the past 20+ years certainly made it feel like I did. LP’s music expressed the way we thought/felt inside and got us through some of the hardest moments of our lives. RIP Chester 🙏🏼

His death hit me hard! Years later I’m watching these videos and can relate. Mental health doesn’t care about gender, religion, background or financial status.

I still remember the first time I heard Linkin Park. I was 13 years old, and the music made such a huge impact in my life. I now have two kids, my eldest recently turned 18 years old and Linkin Park is one of her favorite bands. She was so upset that she never got to see them live. I told her she technically heard them live though, because I went to a concert 12 days before she was born.

I listen to the band since I was 15 and now I am 34!!! I still listen to them until now. Chester's voice is irreplaceable. I will always support every one of you LP member. We are family forever!!! Love 💙

I couldn’t listen to more than 2 minutes of a Linkin Park song for an entire year after Chester’s death and I can’t watch this now but I like reading the positive comments - until I hit the negative comments. Why don’t the negative people, the sarcastic people, the trolls, the haters just go and hang out together with each other and not spew your ruination in places like these.

The man who held a deep passion through his short life of 41 years, who saved millions' lives will be never forgotten... I believe that if he were with us now, the world would be much better, much more people's life would be happier 💔 RIP Chester🖤 You'll always be loved and remembered 🖤❤️🖤❤️💔💔

One of my favorite bands of all time! I struggling with depression myself I could relate to that side and could feel I wasn’t alone…rest easy Chester

Chester was a gift to the world

Chester changed my life. I was already drumming and playing guitar and was in All State Chorus in middle school into my Sophomore year of high school when they created a guitar class. I met a few guys I didn't know played guitar and would've never thought they liked any sort of non-mainstream (at the time) music. Chester gave music real substance and a living form to me. Music before my time had reason. To spread a message, to teach stories not just of past experiences but personal experiences. The 90s grunge scene was so dark and depressing and honestly, seems like a bad memory to me for some reason as at that time the "bar" was set very low in terms of skill progression as things went from 80s Speed/Hair-Metal , to Hard Rock/Industrial, and Grunge while in the background, Electronic music was there to keep true emotions alive of melancholy, nostalgia, and beautiful blissful memories to counter-balance all the Slayer Raining Blood anger, Metallica Master of Puppet conspiracy and fuck the man ideals, and Nirvana's Depressed ridden, people suck, movement. Hip hop was getting aggressive and malicious more than ever before, and people like myself who just wanted to be made to think of something, everything, and/or anything besides wanting to die, wanting to kill, or rebel against any and everyone that was different. Chester brought the normalcy of feeling something inside rather than showing fallacy on the outside trying to be whoever they think society would be most impressed by. I feel like Chester saved many lives by making it ok to be afraid of demons. Not the ones portrayed in the movies but the ones that live in many of our minds. I can only speak for myself and maybe some men who might agree, but as a man, society trained us that stoicism is the only way for a man. Show no fear, struggle, anger, or sadness. Bottled up within us all is something. Whether it be anger, sadness, happiness, etc. But we all at that time probably had anger and unanswered questions. Am I the only one who has these problems? Am I the only one suffering from *insert your personal form of physical, mental, or emotional circumstances*? Should I just end it now and not suffer? Chester came right at that moment as if I manifested an emotional advocate to speak on my behalf. I'm so happy they became as big as they did, and always will be. They made it cool to be angst, express honest feelings, and it becoming ok to be weird/different regardless of what YOUR form of weirdness is. We all could be different together. He brought people together because rich, poor, good or bad parents, we all felt something. He made me become in touch with my mind when he was trying to escape his own. Fixing other people's problems, while neglecting how own. Thank you for your selflessness and courage, Chester. I love you brother. I never met you but you know me, you wrote many many songs about feelings I felt and still feel at times. No human form needed to know someone before you meet them. Talk to them and hear them, you might understand them 100%.

17:46 little mistake, Jeff Blue told us in his book that Chester was actually the one still cheerleading to band not to give up on their showcases when THE OTHERS were thinking about giving up, saying “Our parents are getting impatient”. It was during recording Hybrid Theory that Warner Bros treated the band so bad that Chester told the band that they shouldn’t fret it if the label drops them still after everything. ✌🏽

RIP Chester and Chris All heavy metal kids of the 90s grew up with these guys and they helped shape who we are.

Chester Bennington... Robin Williams... The two that affected me the most

Just this song alone makes me feel like I ain’t the only one in the world feeling like they have no point in life, Chester helped me a lot with his music and when I seen he passed away I said to myself “1 saved millions, millions couldn’t save 1” ❤️❤️

I miss you Chester , you were an inspiration as a human being , as an artist.

Chris Cornell was probably the only guy in the world that understood him; he was screaming for help but nobody truly heard it, they instead enjoyed themselves and thought it was just song... Rest in peace Chester, you got what you wanted, to feel nothing and for no one to take you for granted ever again.

One of the greatest band of all time

I remember vividly when he died because my mother was planning to get tickets to see them live since I'd never seen them live before as a late b-day gift. When I heard I thought it was another fake headline which I'd seen before. But looking it up I found it was true. That man and that band got me through middle and high school and all the ups and downs after. After learning of his suicide I spiraled down and closed myself off to everyone friends and family. After a while I realized his music was meant to uplift people from that way of life at the cost of his own and crawled myself out of that pit. I will always regret not seeing them in person. But I will never regret loving their music. Who cares when one more light goes out? We do. We all do.

Because of Chester Bennington, I love every Linkin Park album including their pre Hybrid Theory time.

Linkin Park (esp Chester) got me through the darkest moments of my life. Chester will most definitely be missed. As many iconic celebrities and musicians that have passed in my lifespan, Chester's passing has been the only one that really affected me so far.

Amazing how record company use to reject bands like this back in the day. How and the hell is the junk I'm hearing today getting signed.

One of my all time favorite bands. I was so sad when I heard the news about Chester. They honestly deserve a movie. R.I.P. Chester Bennington 🤘🏽

His music is still getting me through tough situations

This is a terrific documentary. Thank you so much. :)

Definitely affected me when he died 😔 it still hurts. They're music has pulled me through some dark times.

This is why we need to make sure our children are protected. His childhood trauma led to a lifetime of struggle that ultimately took his life. I'm glad that he got to share his talent with the world and was able to save other people's lives even if his couldn't be.

When i think about the music we've missed out on because of his passing it seriously sinks me into a deep depression. There was nothing like Chesters voice. He had an amazingly hauntingly beautiful voice. Theres noone you can compare to his. He also was one of the all time greatest lyricists. When it comes to putting words to paper, and describing how I feel myself. The inner hate. The inner struggle I fight daily within my mind. Chester knew exactly how I felt. He battled the same battle I did. I felt connected to him because of those things.

The song Valentine's Day is actually a tribute to Chester's father who passed away on valentine's day. As far as I know it has little to do with his first wife.

This kid I met when living in Daytona Florida was obsessed with Lincoln park his dad owned a drum company that made some drum kits for the drummer and he use to hang out with the band when they came to town. Idk what I felt the need to share this and don’t know why I even remember this.

Linkin park is a band of its own. There will never be another band as influential as them period. Long live Chester.

Been a fan since Hybrid Theory and my heart absolutely broke when Chester passed it still hurt's to this day!

My friends were all listening to rap when I was young and it was just something I was starting to getting into but still wasn’t quite right. When I first heard linkin park I knew this was the music I wanted, they were my gateway into rock music and ultimately why linkin park will always be my favorite band of all time

The way he joined STP was a brilliant, classy way to keep STP music to be enjoyed live while celebrating Scott's legacy by performing the songs incredibly and sacrificing his downtime from non-stop touring by well... touring! What a great man and musician. The real deal.

I’ve never been to their concerts, never knew any of them personally but the loss of Chester has hurt me hardcore. I’ve never felt such hurt and emptiness over the loss of someone I’ve never met. I still mourn. The raw emotions in his lyrics helped me, they still do and I’m sure they have helped millions of others.

Man, amongst all his own issues I hope Chester knows how much he helped and still helps generations of people. He’s helped me when I was 6 and thought I was in the worst situations and when I was a teenager and now at 22, I’m going through easily the darkest shit of my life and his music is the first I turned too which immediately helped me feel a weight lift off my chest. Thanks Chester we love you ❤

Losing Chester and Chris was hard in such a short period of time, as a fan. Only 2 celebs that I even still care to this day passed away.

We didn't loose him,we gained wisdom and alot of life's true moments from a real soul, who is watching over and giving better advice and wisdom to those who want what he has has and is given! GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!

Still missing chester after him leaving in 2017. Keeping him in my memories, leaving out all the rest....from my favorite LP song, leave out all the rest.

I want to cry everytime I think about his sadness and all he left behind. I wish I knew him personally. Just so I could reassure he could beat the trauma by proving to victims, your abusers do not own you. Prove to them what a worthless waste of life they are and what an amazing person they couldn't destroy. At least all of you with Linkin Park gave the world a new outlet, a cry of our suffering and a message to find our voice within. Thank you and I hope Chester's children find hope in knowing their father's fight to live for them in spite of his inner pain was his act of love to them.

I was never a massive fan of Linkin Park, but whenever I listened to their songs I could always connect to what Chester was singing. I also suffer from depression, I have experiences with abuse, and I always recognized him as someone who would understand if I got to describe to him what my state of mind is. When he passed, I really felt like “one of us”, someone who gets it, was gone. I still get choked up about it. If there is an afterlife, I hope he’s finally at peace now.

His scream was different than many other screamers. It was captivating

Man July was so hard for me can't believe he's really gone.R.I.P Chester

I first realised Chester's depression when hearing his newer songs I'm sat there silent and listening, you can also see it in his eyes I didn't know he'd end his life so soon 🥺 R.I.P gone but never will be forgotten

I always find myself feeling sad for the lost of Chester whenever I see him in videos. I still love to listen to Linkin Park, but now it's kind of a bitter sweet moment. GOAT

Fantastic documentary. Very touching. Chester will never be forgotten, RIP to a legend who helped so many people through their own problems.

I've truly never been hit so hard by a celebrity's death than I was and still am with Chester. Each time I see pictures, videos, etc or hear about him I feel instant sadness. My friends and I absolutely loved LP and of course still do. His passing affected all of us to our core. He was a gift to us. RIP Chester, you are deeply loved and missed!

The loss of those two men impacted me deeply. Such a huge loss to our world. Say hello to heaven.

RIP Chester I hope that Linkin Park can continue to make new music someday depression is real and it's never to be taken lightly by anyone

I was fortunate of watching Chester with LP performing live in Mexico City in 2002, opening for KoRn. I remember Chester not hitting the notes at first, but the crowd cheered and he reached the notes after a song or two.

Correction: he never really told his father that he was being abused. He first dropped that piece of information in a Linkin Park interview because he was angry that people questioned where the lyrics came from. Insinuating that they were just a suburban boyband and had nothing to complain about. His father found out by reading that interview and called him afterwards. So Chester kept that burden a secret for years and years and only revealed it until after he became famous. Good documentary otherwise ;)

I'm only 13 with depression, it's from lack of hope and love, my parents love is enough but from others I dont get much and when a special person kept messing with me and my feelings, ever thing changed. 13th birthday is what changed me, my teen moods mixed with everything changed me and I now have to take meds for depression, ADHD AND ODD. It's pretty sad the only way I can tell people is through music comments. RIP Chester

Still missing you in 2022. I have been traumatized as a child and a teenager. My parents divorced when I was 8 but fought over custody until I was 10. Mom left us with dad. I now realize I had anxiety, many PTSD, bipolar, and depression starting at a young age. Linkin Park helped me through my only brother completed suicide. We had music in common and when I got his cd case, he had hybrid theory and I was hooked. Thank you for sharing your talents, thoughts, and helping others know they are not alone. I seen you in concert 2016 in Nashville TN one of the best concert I have been to. I am praying for all who love you for comfort and strength. It doesn't go away and you do not ever forget. Time does not make you feel better. I talk to GOD, JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEY HELP ME ON MY JOURNEY THROUGH THIS LIFE. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE BEEN A FAN THAT CARED AND UNDERSTOOD YOUR LYRICS. LINKIN PARK IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER. PLEASE FIND HELP IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED, BRAIN ISSUES, OR ANY PROBLEMS YOU CANNOT HANDLE YOURSELF. THERE IS HELP IF YOU TRULY WANT IT AND IT CAN TAKE YEARS. WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT BRAINS AND NO ONE FIX WILL HELP EVERYONE. IT TAKES TIME AND SOMETIMES MEDICATIONS THAT WORK YOU MAY HAVE TO TRY MANY. SOME MEDICATIONS MAKE YOU MORE SUICIDAL AND YOU HAVE TO STOP TAKING. THEN YOU HAVE TO TRY ANOTHER MEDICATIONS OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO HELP YOUR MIND. DOCTORS ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX YOUR BRAIN LIKE OTHER ORGANS IN YOUR BODY. PLEASE ASK FOR HELP FROM JESUS AND DOCTORS. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH A DOCTOR, FIND ANOTHER ONE. PRAYING FOR ALL WHO HAVE BRAIN PROBLEMS AND THOSE WITH ADDICTIONS.

Im absolutely gutted man that this band is still not together - Probably like most of the watchers here. RIP Chester

A lot of people think that listening to rock or hard metal makes you depressed, on the contrary, this music saves a lot of lives. We feel understood, not alone, saying what we really feel, and welcomed to feel all these feelings. Chester, I never met you, but you have been with many of us throughout difficult times if not years. And even though you are not physically here anymore, you are pretty present whenever I feel down and listen to you. Legends never die, and you are the greatest legend of all in my heart ❤️

I suffer from depression every day of my life both asleep or awake. Unlike Chester, I enjoy solitude. So maybe I'm just fucked up in another way.

how I wish I could turn back time and hear Chester's voice for the first time again..

Who's here after LOST? 🥺🖤

God bless Chester. I have to say though that there is a way through for those who are suffering like he was. For anyone that reads this. Trauma does not have to travel through time. You can learn how to let it go and have a future that is positive. Please try selflesness. Please try to find those who were lost and have lost and still live to help those who are lost.

Linkin Park gave me the opportunity to express my angst as a child. I grew up in a home that frowned upon that type of music. Linkin Park still makes me feel like someone understands me, and I don't feel crazy. It hurts me in a place I have never felt before to watch these videos and hear and see their joy which ended so sadly. But there is so much beauty in their commitment and friendship to each other. They are worthy of all the praise.

Chester got me through the hardest and darkest time of my life with his music and words

Chester changed my life too. I’ll never forget how he got me through some of the toughest times. I miss you Chester.

Chester may be gone but God is making sure his voice and work with helping people understand mental illness lives on. Sometimes through death your most important life work continues. #makechesterproud

Linkin Park and their songs really helped me get through some dark times in my life. Still saddens me to see Chester gone. Rest In Peace my friend. You definitely saved mines

i started listening to linkin park seriously in mid 2021 and instantly became obsessed. literally only listened to linkin park for the rest of 2021. couldn't listen to anything else. my friend had just died and they helped me cope with all the feelings. meteora is my favourite album of all time, its just perfect in every way. they opened up the world of rock and metal music for me. when i started searching about the band i found out that chester was dead, made me sad. watching this video i feel emotional and its the first time i truly understood the reason behind chester's suicide. really miss you chester. really wish that someone could have stopped him from doing it at the moment but nothing can be done now. RIP

RIP Chester Bennington 💔

Chester still lives in our heart

no matter what at the end of the day he is always the happiest and sweetest and kindest person that lived and that definitely showed through in his music edit: he will be missed forever! ❤️

This is so amazing!! Thank you so so much for making this! I've been dying to see deeper back stories of Linkin Park and their origins! PRAAAYING for a full on Linkin Park documentary with the whole lead up and making of Hybrid Theory!

Depression is very hard to overcome, it's a shame how many people have been lost to it.

Linkin Park was the reason why I love Nu Metal Music, this band really change me, RIP Chester

Huge musical influence. The world needs more music like that

Damn sad R.I.P Chester and Chris Kornell

I couldn’t help but shed a tear watching this. RIP Chester, we all miss you.

Rest EASY sweet Chester💙 5 years gone 5 years never forgotten. We love you

I wanted this to go on and on and on! Linkin Park was revolutionary, and influenced me just before Hybrid Theory was released. I had heard "One Step Closer," on a Seattle radio station and it blew me away. There was something indescribable about the lyrics, emotion and music. Then I saw they were coming to town opening for Kottonmouth Kings whom I knew nothing about. I took my then girlfriend to the show and was blown away by their performance. After they played, I was fortunate to spend time with Chester in the bar and bought him a beer. He told me that Hybrid Theory was released that day. We talked about life, music and whatever. I was in a band at the time and gave him my number, stating that I'd love to open for them at some point. He was kind and reciprocal. Of course I never heard from him as Linkin Park blew up overnight. I'll never forget it.

He will always be known as one of the best.

I think millions of ppl can relate to the disturbing and devastating effects of self destructive patterns. That feeling of swirling the drain at your own hands everytime. Searching for a way to move past and never finding one. Rip Chester

I KNOW that this sounds contradictory but as Broken as the mind of his was, he was a BRILLIANT musician who helped SO MANY of his fans be able to release their demons through his music. I FOREVER THANK YOU FOR THIS CHESTER CHARLES BENNINGTON! I just REGRET never getting the chance to get to see that band. Fortunately for my young sister, She was able to meet him back stage when she was either 12 or 13 & received a hug from him & she explained how it felt so good from him!

This documentary was awesome!! You got a new subscriber!!! Honestly I've always love this band ever since I was introduced to them via friends and family but I really started to love them after the A Thousand Suns album came out, That album helped me tremendously with dark times after seeing my mom wither away and eventually pass away from cancer while my father was still dealing with alcohol problems, Almost felt like I had no parents anymore. I still listen to that album from time to time and just remember I got through those hardships in life. Long live Chester and Linkin Park! Thank you for your music

Heart braking 😢😢😢💔💔💔💔 you will always be missed by millions around the world chester you gave us the voiceless hope thank you isn't enough for what you gave us we miss you rest in peace Legend

I will forever be grateful to Chester and Mike for the battles their voices have helped me overcome.

😔 Still can't listen to LinkinPark since Chester's passing... He was 2 years older than me. Forever missed...💔🙏

Chester was a wonderful man.

Chester music help us get through the war in Iraq and Afghanistan we would always listen to it while deployed it was the only music everyone liked and we all used it to help us forget about the day whenever he was a true hero rip Chester ❤

Linkin Park was one of the main bands that got me through finding myself as a young rebellion in the 90s which wasnt a easy time for me.Will forever miss Chester he will always remain one of the greatest singers of my generation.

This one of the bands in my group of bands that I always come back to. No matter what. Linkin Park, Korn, System of a Down, Deftones, and Disturbed. Those are the bands that shaped me into the man I am today. Hybrid Theory, Re-Animation, and Meteora was middle school in a nutshell for me. His screams of “Shut up when I’m talking to you!!!” And “You’re gonna listen to me like it or not!!!” are amazing. I can’t help but wanna get up and jump around and rock when I hear it.

This whole episode is done very well. Thank you to the creators.

Linkin Parks music helped me through high-school Chester's lyrics really helped me i still shred a few tears hearing him sing " given up" is my new favourite RIp Chester

Been a fan of Linkin Park since the first time I saw their video on MTV in the late 90's. I until Chester's death, I never realized that virtually all of his lyrics are about internal turmoil.

I would love to hear Chesters version of Alive.

Chester is a rock god! Makes one cherish what we have now and not take our loved ones for granted. Depression, Addiction, Alcoholism…three headed demon that is very real indeed. May we learn from our heroes choices always! one love to Chester B. and my heart to the LP family forever!!
