Chester's scream at the end of Given Up will never not impress me.
-
What I love about Chester’s screaming is it’s really clean and you CAN actually understand what he’s saying.
-
Chester from Linkin Park introduced me to screaming in music when I was like 11 or 12. Then started doing vocals at 14. Now I’m 25 and I still scream to my favorite metal bands for fun
-
I mean, I remember Corey Taylor being one of the first vocalists in metal to be able to switch from his heavy screaming to those melodic choruses without blowing his voice out. The "good cop, bad cop" bands usually had a singer (on bass) and a screamer (who couldnt, or didnt, sing) so seeing someone do both on stage and have it actually sound good was jarring.
-
“Vocals as a instrument” I’ve been trying to explain that for the last 16 years 😂
-
The ultimate Deathcore insults: Vocalists doing inhales, drummers using triggers, and cupping the mic
-
What always impressed me about Chester Bennington’s screaming is how much feeling he was able to put into it. With some bands screaming feels like an aesthetic choice but with Chester it felt like the only way he could express those lyrics. Tried wording that without sounding entirely dismissive of a lot of bands lol.
-
Missing Jonathan Davis from Korn. He had primal screams on the first 2 albums, even dipped into death growls. Listen to Good God, Proud, Lies, Helmet in the bush, Fake, Need To, Kill You, etc. A lot of screams from other singers can't touch the intensity and rawness from his screams on those albums.
-
I think Corey Taylor was probably a huge influence on screaming as well. That debut album was pretty fucking raw regarding his vocals.
-
It's a shame that "vocals as an instrument" is such a foreign concept to most, harsh vocals are an incredibly fascinating musical concept...I've been doing harsh vocals for about two years now and it's crazy how many different kinds of sounds that you can make with it
-
I’d love to hear you talk about Sonny Moore’s transition from a screamo singer in from first to last to becoming Skrillex
-
Anything that shows Chester Bennington is something I’ll click on 🤘🏽 Fly High and Rest Easy Chester we miss and love you brother 🙏🏼♥️ #HybridTheory
-
Linkin Park was a huge startup and influence for me when I was in highschool. Before that I was listening to alternative stuffs.
-
Lol at poor Finn that has to keep saying "i can't possibly list them all.." three times per video so his comments aren't filled with "what about...x"
-
A moment of silence for all those guys/girls who ruined their voices to get us here in screaming
-
I think people don’t even realize how much of an impact Chester had with his screaming. Given Up was unbelievable. I’d also argue that GlassJAw’s style of screaming was hugely influential on artists that came about after them. So many artists have referenced Darryl’s chaotic style of jumping from singing to screaming and back again as an influence to them.
-
I remember a long time ago when bands would mention they could scream in songs for fear of losing fans. Then years later I heard about a band who said they had to scream to get recognised and get new fans. It’s interesting how trends change over the years. Thanks for the video, it was really interesting.
-
great video! hearing linkin park and chester's screaming definitely implanted a love for heavy music at a young age. the perfect amount of angst without going full converge

"Nirvana was as popular as Post Malone is now" The only time I heard Post Malone he was singing a Nirvana song.
