Can you survive without Linkin Park?

We Love You Chester
#79

For almost two decades, LP has been the soundtrack to my life… I don’t really listen to anything else anymore. Just Linkin Park on shuffle, every day, for years and years… In a life full of sadness and futility, pain and desperation, there were at least two things I could always look forward to: the next Linkin Park album, and the next Linkin Park concert. Chester’s voice was my voice…

I honestly can’t bring myself to listen to any of their stuff since it happened… This morning someone started playing the beginning of their Kimmel/OML performance on their phone, and the moment I heard the first note I immediately broke down and left the room. I just couldn’t handle it. These last 36 hours have been extremely hard to process.

I honestly don’t know how long I can survive without Linkin Park… It’s not something I was hoping to find out. It’s been a great ride, but I wasn’t prepared for it to end the way it did. This is beyond devastating.

He left us one of the greatest gifts…his voice…that inspiration…it will help us out soon. Just take a deep breath.

I never ever missed someone I didn’t know. But he helped me so many times. He was like my therapist. I really started being stronger mentally thanks to him. I feel so empty inside. I am grown ass woman and i can’t understand all of that…

I agree with this. But now his voice and time can only heal you…

I hope so. I am and at the same time i am not surprised that his death hit me so hard. I hope it will pass…

#84

Yeah it will

#85

At least i have work so can take my mind off of it for a bit.

Surviving without someone’s music is different. You cannot compare it to the passing of someone you look up to. I haven’t felt like this before for someone I don’t actually know… it’s a weird feeling. I hurt for him, I’m sad, I feel numb and empty. But it’s different.

All my life I have put Linkin Park on this pedestal. That nobody can ever equal them. That I will never love any other band more that them, and even if I tried, there’s no other band out there, that can ever capture my heart the way Linkin Park did. // So my answer to that is no. My life will never be the same without them.

Same I really wanted to see all of them grow old together and do one of those cheesy “We’re back” tours that older bands do. It would be funny if they cosplayed as their HT selves. Baggy jeans, hair dye and all :grinning: oh man…

Right now I just can’t hear anything else other than Linkin Park. I had been hearing them every single day without a miss since april, after giving some real attention to the meaning of the In the end lyrics, but I could hear other bands and singers as well. Now I just can’t. I can’t let go. It seems as if I was letting go of Chester, he deserves so much more than a few days of grief. He deserves so fucking much more for everything he did for us. And when the player app goes randomly to another band I just can’t listen to it. And put some Linkin Park or Dead by Sunrise.
