    Bad year for Rock if you're an early 2000s fan

    Bad couple, lost Scott weiland and Wayne static In recent years too
    Wow I had no idea Wayne has been dead for a few years. I remember first hearing them from the movie Queen of the Damned with Aaliyah

    Hybrid Theory was favorite of mine because it mixed rock and rap really nicely

    Breaking the habit still one of my favorite videos. I remember waking up dumb early to watch MTV when the video shows started so I wouldn't miss it.

    Wow... come to think of it, Chester and Chris Cornell had similar styles when it came to singing. Very angsty...

    Yea, whoever was saying Rick Rubin ? up their sound hit it on the head... i think i remember him making them come up with the songs organically in the studio like standard rock bands as oppose to writing beforehand which really forced the rapping element to the side. That's around the time I stopped checking for them.

    Saw them perform on SNL a couple years back, and i liked the songs but their edge was gone.

    Depression is a ? ... RIP...

    What's even crazier, is they were friends and when cornell died Chester wrote a big ass open letter talking aboUT how much he will miss him and how much of an inspiration he was to him. It was a really lengthy post.

    Today would have been Chris cornell birthday. And Chester commits suicide on this day.

    Clinical depression is a ? and money and fame isn't the cure for happiness.

    Take care of the people you know who are going through it and have been for a long time. So people just want to be heard and realize that u care about them.

    Clinical depression is real and caused by years of trauma, not something that goes away overnight. Having the blues isn't the same. That's why people are some ignorant to the topic.

    If you know about Chester Bennington's childhood it's 100% clear why he struggled with depression and addiction his entire life

    How can you feel sorry for someone who kills himself on his dead friend's birthday (also by suicide) on some symbolism/weirdo ? . Its not a coincidence. He planned it out. He couldn't plan to get professional help?

    The rapper from linkin park would body the dudes in the xxxtentacion cypher

    Mike Shinoda (the rapper from LP) is an underrated producer as well. He did that Fort Minor album and the Reanimation LP Remix albums and they had some awesome beats on them.

    He co-scored that movie The Raid. Music was dope as ? . That's when he really gained my respect.

    one of the last really dope busta songs

    "i dont wanna live no more"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_aTbmz7zY

    It's easier to run
    Replacing this pain with something numb
    It's so much easier to go
    Than face all this pain here all alone
    Something has been taken from deep inside of me
    A secret I've kept locked away
    No one can ever see
    Wounds so deep they never show
    They never go away
    Like moving pictures in my head
    For years and years they've played
    If I could change I would
    Take back the pain I would
    Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
    If I could
    Stand up and take the blame I would
    If I could take all the shame to the grave I would




    smh dude been cryin out for help

    You stupid muthafuckas are the reasons why people that should seek help don't. Smh.

    The stigmas that surround clinical depression need to be done away with. Ever since Reagan ? up the mental health sector during his presidency, the U.S's perception of mental health has been in shambles.

    I hate people that are willfully ignorant.

    Nobody gives a fck what you hate. Go back to your idiot life of thinking Hillary and Trump are the same, not voting and being a frustrated nonsensical idiot. Wasnt nothin cool about this event but you trying to excuse it. You got things all the way fcked up obviously. We aint even in the same stratosphere. Some of yall got things completely fcked up in life. Well not my problem stay eherever you are I aint fckin with you. This wasnt a cool move for the ones effected. No way around that. Just like Hillary and Trump were never the same and voting always mattered. See a pattern in getting things wrong with you? Anyone with sense can see it. Clowns are trying to excuse this? This wasnt the same as getting killed or dying naturally. We different types and Im gon stay away from your type. You got emotional dont make sense whiny loser all over you. Stay where you at I dont have no time to have anything to do with you.
