Very sad. Loved a lot of their music.

 

[Matt Collins]

Yeah their music was great, his voice was awesome.

 

[timosman]

Did he leave a note?

 

[donnay]

Was he on psychotropics?

 

[Lamp]

My favorite singer.

Why was this thread rated One Star?

Personally, I really liked their first two albums. Meteora was fantastic. I didnt care for stuff after that too much.

 

[Lamp]

I'm listening to Meteora right now.

Lots of celebrity deaths and I'm all meh for most of them.

This one sucks. When browsing music to listen to for the day, linkin park playlists stand about a 1/5 chance of being picked. Especially when I'm feeling down for whatever reason.

 

[Seraphim]

my signature has been as is for years. This sucks...

Was he on psychotropics?

I don't think that was an issue. I think it had more to do with some special cream he was purchasing from some Amish guy.

That's okay the Amish guy will serve 6 years for his psychotropic salve. <s>

Chester Bennington was close pals with Chris Cornell, who committed suicide in May. Bennington died on what would have been Cornell’s 53rd birthday. See Bennington on the right with his friend Cornell.

There are rumours that Cornell and Chester Bennington were murdered, because they threatened to expose a peadophile sex ring. The source is YourNewsWire, which is not a reliable source for information.

Just five days before his death, Chester was in the studio working on a new project, see from left to right – Bennington (smiling), George Watsky, Mike Shinoda and Chukwudi Hodge.

According to Motley Crue nutcase Nikki Six:

I am in tears.Chester just told me how happy he was…..He was such a sweet and talented man……Ifeel so sad for his family,band mates and fans

There is a connection between Linkin Park and Bill Clinton through Sustainable Recycling Solutions (SRS), which employs Haitians to collect recyclable goods and turn them into new products like clothing, toys, and furniture. Clinton gave SRS a grant last year and, and flew to Haiti to tour the plant: http://www.spin.com/2014/04/bill-clinton-linkin-park-haiti-video-recycling/

The only Linkin Park song I know is Hands Held High because it was used in a Ron Paul video back in 07/08. I'm going to listen some of his other music today.

After Chester Bennington died, suddenly all kinds of stories appear that he was terribly messed up.

The Los Angeles County coroner confirmed Friday that Chester Bennington died by hanging: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2017/07/21/coroner-chester-bennington-died-hanging/499576001/

Brian Elias, chief of operations for the office of the medical examiner-coroner, said the 41-year-old rocker hanged himself from a bedroom door in his home near Los Angeles on Thursday.
Bennington was found dead at his home in Palos Verdes Estates in south Los Angeles County. Elias said the body was discovered shortly before 9 a.m. PT by a housekeeper who called 911. The Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene.
The coroner's office said Thursday Bennington's death was being investigated as a possible suicide but few details were disclosed. The case is not yet officially closed, Elias said, but it is still being investigated as a suicide by hanging.
An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday, he said.
A half-empty bottle of alcohol was found in the room but there were no signs of illegal drugs or paraphernalia present, Elias added.

Why do all of these famous musicians die at such a young age?
Why would the front man of one of the most successful bands of the 21th century commit suicide?
I’ve checked his Twitter account (going back to December 2016), and this doesn’t look like the Tweets of a depressed (or paranoid) man: https://twitter.com/chesterbe

Not very surprising, there are a lot of messages on the latest (7th) Linkin Park album “One More Light”, most of it very positive...
The following Tweets are really positive.

On 29 May:
My baby girl graduated today!! One of the greatest moments of my life

On 27 May:
Feeling very creative this last week. I've written 6 songs and I'm happy with all of them. Just getting started.

On 21 May:
We've been getting a lot of love for #OneMoreLight Thank you!!!!

On 25 March:
Wonderful day in Amsterdam yesterday, be back soon


The most interesting Tweet on his Twitter account is by his friend Chris Cornell, who died in Detroit on 17 May 2017, of an apparent suicide.
On 21 April, Chris Cornell Tweeted a link to a story about a documentary on the Armenian genocide (a controversial topic): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...nents-need-to-see_us_58f93d87e4b0de26cfeae24b


What’s also interesting are Tweets in support of Al Gore, meeting Kevin Spacey (good friends with Bill Clinton, and paedophiles Jeffrey Epstein and Bryan Singer), and anti-Trump.

On 31 March:
Al Gore is one of my heros.

On 26 March:
Went to Crazyhorse with Kevin Spacey! My life just got cooler and stranger at the same

On 30 January:
I repeat..... Trump is a greater threat to the USA than terrorism!! We have to take back our voices and stand for what we believe in


In January 2008, Chester Bennington told in an interview with Kerrang, that he had been sexually abused by an older male “friend” for 6 years, starting when he was 7 or 8.
He also admitted doing lots of drugs, starting when his parents divorced, 11.

I STARTED getting molested when I was about seven or eight. It was by a friend who was a few years older than me. It escalated from a touchy, curious, ‘what does this thing do’ into full-on, crazy violations. I was getting beaten up and being forced to do things I didn’t want to do. It destroyed my self-confidence.

Like most people, I was too afraid to say anything. I didn’t want people to think I was gay or that I was lying. It was a horrible experience. The sexual assaults continued until I was 13.

I took everything. I got really, really bad. Until I was 16, I was doing a ton of LSD and a lot of drinking. Then, when we couldn’t find acid, we turned to speed because it was cheap and it worked really, really well. I got really bad, really quickly. On a normal day, my friends and I would go through an eight-ball. We were smoking it in bongs – I was doing bong-hits of meth. It was ridiculous. Then we’d smoke opium to come down, or we’d take pills, or I’d drink so much that I’d shit my pants. It was not pretty.

By the end of 2004, Chester decided it was time for a change. He was in a marriage that wasn’t working, and drinking too much:

I wasn’t leaving my house. I’d shack up in my closet in the dark and shake all day. I’d wake up and have a pint of Jack Daniels to calm down, then I’d pop a bunch of pills and go back in my closet and fucking freak out for the rest of the day. I was a mess. I was falling through windows, having seizures and going to hospital the whole time. It was fucking ridiculous. I was a total wreck.


Eventually I just gave in. I had to give up and ask for help. If I had tried to do it on my own, I wouldn’t have made it. But everybody came to my rescue.

According to Chester, he sobered up, divorced, and remarried.
That could have been a happy end: http://www.tom-bryant.com/linkin-park-kerrang--tom-bryant.html

Here is the 2 August death certificate that “confirms” that Chester Charles Bennington died by “HANGING …with belt”: http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/Chester-Bennington Death-Cert-Redacted-02.pdf
The Coroner’s report for Chester Bennington (Case Number: 2017-05390) can be “bought” for $27, but I haven’t found a freely viewable copy: http://mec.lacounty.gov/wps/portal/mec/main/home/caseinformation/casedetail?CaseNum=2017-05390

While Chris Cornell died 3 weeks after the start of the new Soundgarden tour, Chester Bennington died a week before Linkin Park’s new tour would start on 27 July.
No drugs were found in the house of Chester Bennington.

Chester Bennington was set to attend a photo shoot in Hollywood with Linkin Park just hours after his body was discovered by a housekeeper.
Here´s the 911 call by the driver who tells that he was told by the housekeeper that Chester Bennington killed himself, dead by hanging. The housekeeper can be heard in the background calling Chester´s wife and yelling “Oh my God”.

I'm a driver and I just got to the location and his housekeeper came out and said that he killed himself.
I haven't seen him. I'm sitting in the car. His housekeeper came up to me and said that he, she found him dead.
I asked “Is he cold, is he warm?”, and she said “No, he’s dead, he’s been hanging”, and she’s talking to his wife right now.

The Twitter account of Chester Bennington’s wife, Talinda Ann Bentley, was hacked following his death. On Thursday night, strange messages appeared on her account.
One of the tweets said “i´m not hacked”: http://heavy.com/entertainment/2017/07/chester-bennington-wife-talinda-twitter-hacked-hoax/

It is obvious that a “normal” hacker wouldn´t write “i´m not hacked”, which makes it more probable that the hacking was done by the same people who killed Bennington.

Here is the 2 August death certificate that “confirms” that Chester Charles Bennington died by “HANGING …with belt”

Considering that he seemed to have gotten his act together and was happy, this likely points to another case of autoerotic asphyxiation.
