It might have been easier to have actually written this as a basic “I went to a show, it was fantastic,” evaluation, but it simply couldn’t be done.You might
be informed how fantastic System Of A Down sounded, or how unbelievable it was to see Oli Sykes, Machine Weapon Kelly, and Jeremy McKinnon on stage together with Linkin Park, however truthfully, that does not matter.You might be
told that the visitor vocalists were moving, unbelievable, therefore special (specifically when Avenged Sevenfold’s M. Shadows and Synyster Gates and Blink-182 graced the stage), or how it was unreal the number of females Linkin Park worked with and influenced musically, but truthfully, it wasn’t that sort of show, and this isn’t that type of review.This night advised me– and I’m assuming so lots of others– of why music is so effective. It has the capability to heal.Last night we weren’t a lot of concertgoers in
a sea of people seeing a band perform live, last night the crowd was a family, celebrating the life of one of our own. There were eulogies, stories, jokes and tears as we reflected on the life of an individual who altered the world for so many.I wish to inform you that the best efficiency of the night was Mike Shinoda sitting solo at the piano performing the song he wrote for Chester, but it wasn’t. One of the very best efficiencies of the night was viewing 5 guys return on stage and smile out at their adoring fans who understand their pain.Another of the best performance of the night was Talinda Bennington sharing her sorrow, and enabling us to be in that minute with her.Maybe the finest efficiency was when the crowd sang’ Numb’to an empty mic stand with a single spotlight.
Or was it when Mike asked us to fill vocals for ‘In The End ‘? Whatever your moment was, whatever speech or song or entertainer struck the biggest chord with you, last night was not a night to evaluate, however a night to keep in mind. It was a moment in time where all of us sat together as artists, fans, strangers, buddies and liked ones and admired a male who simply desired to make the world a little bit much better for everyone.So I desire to thank all the artists who came out or participated in last night– Ryan Key, Gavin Rossdale, Alanis Morrisette, Taka, Steven McKellar, John Green, Elsie Junior, Sidney Sierota, Julia Michaels, Kiiara, Gatling Gun Kelly, Korn, Oli Sykes, System of a Down, Amount 41, Blink-182, Jared Leto, Paul McCartney, 30STM, Jeremy McKinnon, Steve Aoki, Bebe Rexha, A7X and more– for allowing us to share as you mourned and celebrated the life of your friend.I want to thank Chester’s other half for being so brave and a terrific mother to her gorgeous children, but to this fanbase as well as we question the future. Thank you for fearlessly leading us into a path Chester would be so proud of.And primarily, I want to thank the members of Linkin Park for being strong enough to share in this minute with us.We move forward as a family battling anxiety, battling
our demons together and saving Another Light at a time.For more details on how you can #makechesterproud and #fuckdepression,
