IThinkYouGotAFineBrainJack
That was what they are for me, many years after Hybrid, "a sound that said you weren't alone in this situation". I still do go back to them.

Hybrid Theory was the first Album I ever actually bought with me own money. Second was Weird Al Greatest hits. Sucks dude's dead.
l8rz
Fuuuuuuuck! Stop killing yourselves you fucking twats! (Jk, I'm fuckin gutted. LP were a big part of my formative years.)
ontheceiling
Hybrid Theory still remains one of the greatest albums of all time. Chester was a real talent, a true legend of music. Such a sad time.
tobiassolem
I wish cool people would not die. Just let the assholes die. Please.
LetsTalkGameDesign
All jokes about edginess aside, Linkin Park were always a brilliant band.

Hybrid theory was the first cd I ever bought with my own money. RIP Chester

"Faint" came out during a very angry part of my life. Got me through some shit.
GravyWonTon
I remember my friend burned me a copy of Hybrid Theory while we were stationed in Korea. I was floored by this music. RIP Chester, RIP.
Kimun
We can all say whatever we want about LP being edgy etc, but most of us who listened to them back in the days still listen to them now.
Manatapit
His death would be more tragic if it wasn't suicide...it's hard for me to feel sorry because it was. I still respect the man and his music.
PreciousPotato
Oh no, he's dead?! Fuck, I'm barely over River Phoenix.
Greeneyeddevil
Linkin Park meant so much to me as a younger person. Chester was a talent, and a good person. And they're still my dads favourite band. RIP.
nervesatme
This was well written. lP was a huge part of my growing up and I use to listen to them on repeat dreaming how I could be like Chester. Dam
TerryFoldFlaps
Well you could be like him. You just have to be dead.

You may have occasionally put them on repeat but this guy lived it. http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/843303-4chan

I listened all the way through Hybrid theory, reanimation and meteora yesterday. Re-listen to them. I think still get hyped

When their latest album out I was so glad to think about the 12 year old out there that it's going to help, like Hybrid Theory did for me <3

I used to play Hybrid Theory and Meteora on repeat every night from 5th to 8th grade. Felt like a punch to the gut when I got the news.
boevis
It's tradition to downvote celebrity death posts, but the stories about how real they can be are worth +1
PrehistoricPlesiosaurus
Also "He had the time and he gave it to me"
roads88mph
I don't care about LP but I'll always give props to celebrities who're good people to their fans.
EraseHistory
I believe when musicians die it's a lot different than if an actor where to die,sure the actor is famous but musicians give everybody 1/2.
EraseHistory
Something much more, something to listen and feel in there soul. I don't think an actor can do that.

I learned about it yesterday.. it hit me hard, the day before my gf was talking to me about seeing them live for my birthday.
Ironreaper091
He'll be missed, and we will always be fans.
Shewy92
I used to only listen to old rock and country (other than the stuff they played on the bus) and Minutes to Midnight was the first CD of them
Shewy92
I bought. Granted I started to listen to Green Day a couple years before but LP was much more harder than anything I listened to before.
Shewy92
They helped evolve my taste of music away from what my parents listened to

Excuse me, 1.1mil likes?

I thought the same, then realized it only had 36 replies
Plectro
Oh I just realized that's probably 1.1 thosand since youtube is not in English
OnlyOneFuckToGiveUseCarefully
It's spanish. One thousand is translated as Mil.
LizardsInTheSky
As a child, I had so much trouble with "millimeter" being one thousandth, not one millionth of a meter until this was explained
mycatToastwasafatasshole
LP was the first band my super religious mom allowed me to listen to (they had a thing about how they didn't cuss for the first two CDs) /1
mycatToastwasafatasshole
They were basically my gateway to rock and metal (and some rap) that I love now. They were perfect for how I felt at the time. Chester's /2
mycatToastwasafatasshole
and Terry Pratchett's deaths were the only two 'celebrity' deaths that hit me so hard. They were a huge part of me finding myself /3
mycatToastwasafatasshole
and who I ACTUALLY am outside of the religious bubble my parent's tried so hard to keep me in. /end
SerialKrusher
Honestly they gave me confidence as a teenager. I remember when "in the end" would come on in the bowling alley and pump me up for a strike
almightyblob
Wait, are you me?
GiveMeCorndogOrGiveMeDeath
This is really sweet.
SerialKrusher
And I'm sorry to those who don't understand actual mental illnesses. It's horrible if they are famous or not losing someone is terrible
secretdpp
I can hear your name in DeFoe's voice.
someguyfromnowhereclose
Sadly I still do listen to them on occasion. Even if only once a year.
DAFUQisaLOMMY
I'm the same way with Green Day, not a huge fan, but I always hear that damn song on Sep. 1st, the day my stepdad died.
BritishGingerLefty
Why's that sad? I listen to the likes of limp bizkit hotdog flavoured water all the time. Such a good album!
someguyfromnowhereclose
Sad that I don't listen to them more. It was a fond part of my teenage years.
BritishGingerLefty
Do it. It makes you fell so good :D
MikeSmith1370
I remember being to just yell and scream when they came on and vent my frustrations with the world. Chester's death hit a lot of us hard.
VictoryWine
My family growing up.. Hell even now, is a huge mess, and I related to many of their songs and such. I'll always miss Chester.
saintnicklaus
SO INSECUUUUUURRRRRREEEEEEEE. man I still yell that when it's on
rainbowcoloredpoop
LP was my first adventure with "harder" music. My gateway to actual metal. I didn't expect Chesters death to hit me as hard as it does.
ellavator
They were my gateway to rock and music also. I loved Linkin Park.
ellavator
And by music I meant metal.
Mymumsaysno
They're a guilty pleasure of mine. Still play hybrid theory in the car from time to time.
AfRoSaUcE
Nothing guilty about this. That whole album hits the spot.
JohnnySooshi
Same. I have every CD. Didn't stop buying even when they changed their sound. I'll still love them.
DoodlePenisPewPewPew
I've had it in my cars 6 cd stacker for the past 9 years. Never moved/rotated out. It's just great driving music
AfRoSaUcE
The friend I've always wanted. Good shit man
TheActualBruceWayne
It's not guilty
Mymumsaysno
I just mean as much as there are many reasons I shouldn't like them. They're cheesy and formulaic and the songs are not great but I still
CanadianCobraChicken
Yeah they're cheesy and formulaic, but they survived where other bands that did that couldn't. They let some kids know "hey, we get it."
Mymumsaysno
And credit to them for that. Not trying to say they're shit and I know they had a much more profound impact on some people's lives than mine
Mymumsaysno
Enjoy a listen every now and then. That's not to take away from other people who sincerely enjoy them. Different strokes for different folks
OtherErinFromTheOffice
I think he's just saying that you dont need to feel guilty about songs you like. That has become a weird social thing.
Mymumsaysno
I get that. I don't actually feel guilty. Just a turn of phrase.
OtherErinFromTheOffice
'Guilty Pleasure' a phrase I'd like to get rid of. You like what you like, there's no need to worry about it beyond that.
PersonenschadenImGleisbett
Mymumsaysno
I get what you're saying. It's just a turn of phrase. It's not like I hide away so no-one catches me listening to it.
ThatGuyWhoThinksEveryoneIsAPineapple
I dunno, I've done that before.

Killing hookers is a guilty pleasure of mine...
