13 year old me loved Linkin Park with a passion. Chester Bennington and Linkin Park was the first actual band/artist I listened to when I turned around 11, and the angst-filled lyrics fueled my formative years haha. Their music is what has formed the rest of my music taste today. I listened to them for a good while too, well past the middle-school phase and halfway into high school.
It sucks looking back on those lyrics, as I have done all of today while drowning myself in his music. 7 years later and the lyrics mean something else, now that this has happened.
RIP Chester. I'm glad you got to share a moment of his life with him OP
Chester was just 24 here and Hybrid Theory was released a month earlier. So this was right at the time his entire life was about to change from a struggling musician to world wide famous rock star.
