I always liked the lyric:

Spread your wings open for the flight, let me fill you up with something milky and white

Probably not an accident that he chose this day to do it, as I've read that both Chester and Chris were good friends.

I also read that Chester had 6 kids. I feel terrible for them.

He may have been a friend of Cornell's...but this kid was no Eddie Vedder. :hehe:

Wasn't a fan of the music, but agree that he could sing. I too was surprised to read that he was only 41 and had 6 children. :nyrexall:

RIP..Chester.

Heh, I wonder if U2 will play a Linkin Park tune at their next show like they seem to do whenever someone of note dies these days.

Chester's cover of Jane Says starts out really morose and shitty (partially because the recording is bad), and then suddenly he seems to get confident and the pipes kick in and he nails the whole second half. Better than Perry these days. :rockon:

Ik saw Lp three weeks ago.

I never really listened to them before, so I knew the name but not their music.

It was horrible. I thought he couldn't sing for shit. I kept thinking they must have forgotten tot turn on the autotune.

But that's that.

Sorry to hear he couldn't be happy after turning into a million seller artist from being a poor kid. And sorry to hear he leaves behind six kids

After years of hating them for no good reason (our jazz band teacher in high school made us play Steely Dan songs) I finally got really into them in the last 8 years or so. Great musician!

That's funny....and not really funny @ you but funny because I am the complete opposite with the Eagles. I grew up fond of them and then about 20 years ago for no reason there was a slow, visceral shift that at about 10 years ago ended up where I could not listen to them at all. They are like a hundred tiny ball-peen hammers hammering away at my ears at once. The same thing happened with Tom Petty, but with 200 hammers.
