Chester helped me make that transition from angsty teen into young adulthood. I haven't always had Linkin Park oh high rotation, but when I was graduating HS, Hybrid Theory was probably one of the discs that never left the 5 disc changer.

I have friends whom this hits harder than me, but I can't help feel really fucking down about this. 41 years is not very far away for me.
Some of the songs were a bit clumsy with their execution, but you have to admit they helped a lot of kids galvanize themselves and start working toward something better.

RIP.

Well put it this way - he is immortalised by his recorded work.

I briefly liked Linkin Park although it seems a bit tame compared to the metally flavoured music I listen to these days. However I think at the time he was the only vocalist in the "nu-metal" scene who could actually sing.
