Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington dead

Right now it looks like it was suicide according to the articles I've read.

Really sad, Linkin Park has been one of my favorite bands since I first heard them, which was just a little bit before they got really popular. While I wasn't fond of their middle stuff, their newest stuff was getting good, and now there will be no more :-(.

Yep, seems so. I suspected drugs or suicide and it seems it might be both. Living in Phoenix, his home town, the radio is aflutter with Linkin Park music. Makes me glad that I own CDs still. Sad to lose someone so young I guess.

Yeah, kind of bummed. I had a pretty big Linkin Park phase midway through high school, starting when Hybrid Theory came out. Drifted away from them post-Meteora, but by then I also gave up on the idea of fixating on one specific band and started listening to whatever grabbed my attention. No more sticking a tape into a walkman and playing it all the way through side A, flip it over to side B, then play it all the way to the end of that*.

*I am pretty sure I listened to Hybrid Theory on cassete, in a walkman. But that was quite a while ago. I may be remembering a different thing, since around that time we did have CDs.

Still a little bummed about this a couple days after the fact. I still remember going to their Projekt Revolution Tour when they were performing with Korn and Snoop Dogg. Will never forget it. :smallfrown:
