    Very few teachers would put themselves out there openly admitting they are learning something new and showing all the ugly work that's behind learning new techniques. You are the man sir.

    QWERTY is one of the most insane LP songs and it's a shame that they never put it on an album 😭
  • The back and forth between screaming, fry screaming and clean singing just floors me. How he can go from one to the next and back so seemlessly. He really was an incredible vocalist.

    Chester has one of the most unique screams I've ever heard. I don't even know what to call his type. His face is never really still and shapes the sound that soars from his vocal chords. In my opinion, it's still one of the hardest to replicate today.

    Chris is one of those dudes that just seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Super knowledgeable but humble at the same time.

    Chester lowkey got my into screamo but in a slower dosage. I loved their sound and when he screamed on songs…you felt that shit in your soul. I’ll always remember where I was and what I was doing when I found out of his death

    wow, this vocal performance is insane. I love chester but this might be one of his best performances. At least if we talk about technical complexity and execution. Fast, extreme rapping, then totally clean singing without a break to breath? how? Thanks for this discovery and also analysis. I don't know how he even kept this up. I'm struggling with fatique (I'm pushing a lot and my diaphragm gets tired quickly) and wonder how did he have the breath and stamina to do all this. Especially since he looks VERY tense.

    What makes you incredible, is that you, unlike many teachers I had, make it so understandible by first making a fool out of yourself with the primal noises... but these are easy for us to understand and mimic... making sure we know we are on the right track (or not). Amazing work!

    Hey Chris! I've recently begun listening to Chester's "project band" called Dead by Sunrise. He experiments sound and technique with this band that he wasnt comfortable releasing with Linkin Park and they released one album. I recommend giving some of the songs from this project band a listen and/or reaction sometime! "Walking in Circles" really puts his transitions from clean to distorted on display quite well

    That scream at the very end is soo him. So iconic. It's almost like a tidal wave where you feel it before it even hits you and it sounds massive. It's very strange and hard to describe actually. What's interesting to me about his screams is that it's not abrasive but still very smooth and musical. It's almost like a guitar amp cranked up. I always hear people pointing out that he did fry screaming as if it was something to look down on but I heard Chester warming up backstage once and I can tell you that none of the screaming was some quite fry screaming. Like the long notes he holds on the screams might sound to you as a fry scream cuz his saturation is so smooth, but to me that sound was a full-on loud screaming my lungs out kinda stuff. His vocal stamina was extraterrestrial to me.

    This version of QWERTY was one of may favourite songs of my teen years and we used to listen to it all the time with my friend on my crappy phone speaker haha! Brings back memories. Chester's screaming is almost unbelievable in this version. Thanks for covering it, what a nice surprise!
  • @LJMTX
    Oh shit you broke out QWERTY!! Always loved the energy and vocal style in this song. Never understood why they kept it in the LP underground vault as a B-side. Song slaps so hard! Great breakdown as always Chris 🤘🏻

    Please make a video analysis of "And One - Rock am Ring 2001 - linkin park"
  • @jaezyre214
    chester and ado, i love there distortion voice and also the normal way of singing
  • @alexhydron
    7:58 the magic moment when you are working on a new sound and you hit it! you still don't know how you hit it exactly, but you're close and you proved to yourself that you CAN do it😄I love that feeling
  • Yes. This is what I was talking about with all that "fry screaming etc." on Chester. The "gag motion" is more like it. You are closer to getting it. I find that there is more gag than what you are doing right now. The gag has the "wet distortion" in Chester's scream. I personally use the gag motion a lot, i refer to it as "false fold fry sound" or if I were to add much more support a "(false fold) fry scream". I believe and also you now i suppose, it is what Chester does. Just more voice in it. Love this content.
