Thank you for this tribute item <3
As someone who has just gotten through a really dark and dangerous mind space of suicide caused by depression, LP helped me as they did for many others. For me, my recent darkness was caused by the exhaustion one feels after dealing with depression and mental health on your own (many services for me and others like me have been cut) - there's only so much one can carry before realizing you're too tired to continue.
In the past, some of the thoughts had been on 'everyone would be better off w/o me' - this idea was quickly eradicated by people I didn't realize were friends and support. Then there was the 'I'm a burden to everyone' thought, which rose when, in my depressed state, I put too much of my own issues on supportive friends who were also going through a tough time (though I only recognized this in hindsight) and said friends cut ties quite brutally.
But through art and love, I'm still here.
Chester, we may not understand the why, but know that you were (and always will be) loved, RIP. I'm sorry depression has claimed another too early.

This is sad news.
I don't think I listened to LP before but it's always sad news when people die, commit suicide, etc.
Thanks for this tribute.

Thanks for this tribute.
Even though I hate their music, it's sad that he did this. They always seem to go in pairs...
If you're disappointed that Chester got a tribute but other people didn't; you can design your own custom wearable item. It's not the staff's duty to make a tribute to everyone, they just wanted to because he was important to them. They can't please everybody, just appreciate this item and respect their mourning.
Thank you Subeta. We need more awareness and more places to talk about depression, mental health, bullying, crisis, and suicide.

I honestly haven't listened to Linkin Park since I was a teen, and I'm shocked to hear this - and I live under a rock and only just found out about this tonight. How did I not hear about this yesterday? I really need to be in touch with the news.
Also, thank you for the reminder, Chester wasn't the only one. Depression affects a lot of us.

RIP Chester
His words touched me in a way that kept me alive through relentless bullying, a violent household, and self-hatred through my early teenage years. I'll never forget his words, or his voice. I'm sorry you couldn't keep going, Chester. You were so, so loved and so appreciated. You defined a generation of people who felt like outcasts.
@CastlesInTheSky
instead of making a passive aggressive sarcastic comment, might as well be respectful towards someone's death. want a tribute of your idol? commission one yourself, but don't come here trash the tribute they did bc it wasn't of your ~taste~. the guy's passed away and he deserves as much respect as anyone else. be more considerate, jfc.

This is one of the reasons I love Subeta so much. This brought tears to my eyes because you care about us, and you always do tributes when you know people will need something. Thank you sincerely.
Seeing that is nearly making me cry. Linkin Park, as cliché as it may be, helped shaped me in my early teenage years and helped me feel less alone when I felt like nothing in my life was going to improve. To know Chester committed suicide is crushing, and now the music they released hold so much more meaning than they have before. I wish he didn't fall to such desperate actions, but the least we can do is support his family and appreciate what he's left for us to remember him by.
At first I was so angry when I heard about this on the local news last night. Now I'm just sad. LP got me through some tough times in high school and their music still resonates with me today. Thanks for this. :) It would be nice if we could acknowledge everyone who passes in such a way.
I can't imagine what his battles were... Love Linkin Park even though I grew out of their music in the my late teens. Still love and respect all of the band members so very much.
Chris Cornell died too??? Really???? How??? I like listening to Soundgarden and Audioslave and some of his solo songs, so this would be sad for me
Linkin Park got me through a terrible time in my life, it's amazing what music can do for the soul. When my mom walked out on our family my dad raised my brother and I by himself which was tough on all of us. Hybrid Theory (and Meteora) were everything to me, it was the first time I felt heard and understood and realized that there are other people out there struggling just like I am, and putting on a mask to get by. Thanks Subeta Team for releasing this item; It will be a perfect addition to my nostalgia pet's TC.
Let's all remember that everyone is going through something. Many people use Subeta as an escape from the troubles of the real world so we must all do our best to be inclusive, supportive and kind to one another.

This is the sort of thing that separates Subeta from other sites. Kudos to the team for reaching out (once again) to those who are hurting.
For those who may be wrestling with depressive thoughts: just because you feel unworthy of love, that does not mean you are unloved. Love is not a merit system, it is not something you earn or "deserve." It is irrational, unpredictable, and it happens to good people and bad. When people tell you that you matter -- that you are loved -- they are trying to remind you of this. You DO matter, even though you feel worthless. Your thoughts and feelings are coming from a condition you are suffering from. Please get help. You would seek medical attention if you suffered from diabetes, a broken arm, or some other medical condition. Your suicidal thoughts are also symptoms of a medical condition -- and there are a wide variety of treatments available. Suicide does not end the pain -- it only passes from you to your family and friends. Please don't hurt anyone, seek help. You matter.

So sad. I mean, it's not like I even knew him, but I knew his music. His music was part of my middle school/high school years that weren't always so easy and it made me feel better, if only for a little while. It's funny how a person that you've never even met can mean so much to you. I wish he could have known how much he meant to so many people. RIP C
I heard the awful news driving home.
My favorite radio station was playing Linkin Park; and, of course, I was jamming out to my youth.
Then, the radio host comes onto the radio telling us that Chester committed suicide and gives us the national suicide hotline # as well.
I was in shock, and teared up all the way home.

Childhood abuse leaves scars forever, unfortunately. :( Going through what he did at such a young age changes you as a person. May he find peace and finally be at rest now. My heart will always have an empty spot for LP - they got me, and many other youth, through hard times growing up. :'(
like staff has said before they can't do one for everybody they just do it for ones that impact a particular staff member it's up to them to make one it's not required
- - -
This statement sort of makes me feel like it only matters who the staff are upset about dying; I understand George Romero not being mentioned at all he, sort of underground or whatever but Adam West? Batman? Come on. I can't believe there's no mention at all of Adam West, there are tons of Batman tribute items all over the site so why wouldn't that matter to them?

@jensen Thank you for your answer. At least I didn't miss it, and have to shell out a lot for it.
I guess I am probably a lot older than staff, Chris Cornell was my youth, whereas Linkin Park was my niece's. And Adam West as mentioned...wasn't he everyone's youth? But, I also understand not making something every time someone dies. 2016 would certainly have been a busy year for that, and this year may be shaping up the same.

Heartbreaking news. I didn't really listen to LP back in the day (grew up listening to Christmas music year-round, thanks Mom, haha) but I hate to hear this type of news for anyone. Please reach out when you're hurting. You're loved :heart: Thank you so much for this tribute, Subeta.
Shit. I haven't listened to Linkin Park since their Hybrid Theory days, but I still gasped out loud when I saw that yesterday.
However I'm going to lie, I'm disappointed Chris Cornell went ignored.

<3 Thank you Subeta. I can't remember years when Chester and Linkin Park were not in my life. Creating a fantastic new things for us to feel more sound for our emotions to resonate with. There was nothing like them. No one could ever match up if they tried.
thank you.
Ive been having a hard time also and this is like, wow. my heart goes out to his family and, I understand
suicide is a real and hard, the struggle when you are depressed or have things happening that are hard to cope
to find a way out of the mindset. I cant write properly but...my heart.

I couldnt believe it last night when i heard.
To top things off i heard of many people in the entertainment industry dying... it's bizarre.. not everyone committed suicide, but still..
so sad..

My condolences to Chester Bennington's family and friends. I pray that he finds the peace he deserves, wherever he is now.
Depression is serious business, and I can understand how painful it must've felt to him. But everyone, know that no matter how painful it feels, you are not alone. Even in pain, you're not alone. And your mind is tricking you. You're not worthless or stupid or not good enough. You're you, and only you can be you. This fact alone proves how unique and invaluable you are. Please stay strong.

i know that a lot of users here grew up with lp's old music, but it was the rough few months that they had when people started coming down on their new music. that must have really affected chester. please remember, if you love someone, love them for who they are despite their changes, despite their growths, and despite the new struggles they face. its hard to stay strong when people start hating you because "youre not the person i used to know" and i truly admire chester's strength while under fire like that. but even the strongest people break sometimes... please continue to love lp despite being a new lp, and even if such drastic losses have taken place. please continue to love those that are not the same anymore.
Wait, what happ - ah, shitbags. :( And I thought it was already a bad day just because the screen on my laptop went out.
Well, thank you Subeta, it's a great tribute and an awesome item.

Sad news. Sometimes people think that suicide is cowardliness, but only the person who has taken their own life knows the darkness, pain and loneliness they went through. People always say "They had all the support and help they needed." You have to have their head on your body to know their daily struggles on even the simplest things. There's always a root. Sometimes taking about it helps, but sometimes it doesn't. It drives people literally insane. Not being able to be understood by others or ourselves can lead to unhappiness. You don't have to be a bad person to suffer from this. Doesn't matter how much wealth we have. How many friends and family say they love us. It is still posible to feel alone and unhappy. It's a disease called depression and it's not attention seeking, self-pity, cowardness or selfishness! The last thing anyone wants is to feel the way they do. RIP Chester. I never really listened to LP, but LP were and still are a HUGE part of my dad's life. 8'C
LP played a big musical role in my life and Chester's voice was sth I could listen to every day without getting tired of it. Cannot say more still lacking words...R.I.P.

It kills me that Chester is dead; more so because I was listening to Hybrid Theory on my way to work. Got me through middle school, HS, and then some. To leave behind six kids, especially after candidly talking about struggles with addiction, just hurts so much more. Lot of people around the world are hurting right now.
Chris Cornel hit me hard but this broke me, I actually cried last night listening to numb.
I hope they both find the peace they were looking for wherever they are now
RIP

I'll never forget the night i saw them live at the Warfield in SF. I had gotten 2 free tickets for being in the LPUnderground. Took my best friend with me and it was so amazing. Wish i could have caught a drumstick that Rob tossed into the crowd.
I could recite every lyric, memorized every track listing forward and back of HT, Meteora, and MTM, and bought their overseas cd singles. I bought so many that my local record store knew who i was when i called and refused to order anymore for me (i called everytime a new one was released). I was young so i had my mom demand they order lol!
Ive watched Frat Party at the Pankake Festival over 50+ times and memorized the codes that got you to hidden menus.
I wore a Linkin Park shirt everyday during my sophmore year of high school and even wore Dickies just so i could dress like the guys. Even forgot to take the chain off my Linkin Park wallet and had it confiscated by school officers. I got it back of course, wasn't going to let them keep it.
I have too many memories and just so heartbroken. You will be missed Chester. ♥️

My life was changed by Linkin Park and their music. It was the album of my high school years - the roughest years of my life. It got me through. Rest in peace, Chester. You were so loved by so many.
Rip Chester...
You and your band has meant a lot to me, especially with your first two albums. It's tragic that the world has lost yet another great artist :sob:

Nice wearable, but I have no clue who it's for. Was disappointed there was no tribute to Adam West.
This is wonderful. Thank you for this gift Subeta. :heart:
I've been listening to LP for nearly 2 decades and this was quite a shock when I found out.
I was at work when I heard and had to put my customer on hold to try to process it.
Also, to anyone who's been battling these issues... from one to another, I remind myself that death is a permanent solution to something temporary. As horrible as things may seem, there is always someone who loves you that you can reach out to. If you don't feel like you have that someone, reach out to a different outlet or call line like the one provided here. It will always get better.

Was at Comic-Con San Diego today, on the escalators when the guy behind us broke the news out loud, it was horrible. Such a great man. T_T Rest in Peace.
You know, it didn't occur to me that you'd have something for this, but I'm glad that you do.
I feel bad in asking, but honestly, I was rather upset when Chris Cornell died, and I didn't come to the site at that time. Was there an item for him too, and if so, what's the name? I hope to find one for sale, since I missed it.
Thanks!

Wow this one makes me cry. I grew up listening to linkin park and still have their cds! Rip Chester.
i got online wondering if there would be an item for him ;; it just happened to be the edge that finally got me in tears. rest in peace. thank you, staff <3
This hurt. It's a lovely tribute and the news post is appreciated. Trying to get help is important
This post made me so sad, but I'm happy you guys did something for Chester!
I'm really upset that this happened,.. I wish someone would've been able to help him, but there's only so much a person can do....
So yeah, for everyone reading this: remember that you are loved by a LOT of people, even if they're not good at showing it every day.
You're important, and your life matter! <3

<3 I needed to see this. It's so hard knowing without his music I'd have had a much harder time through some rough patches early in my life.
I was in disbelief when I heard them talking about this on the radio on my way home from the store. My father had told me first but he wasn't sure if it was Chester or not, so I didn't believe it. And I still can't.
Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. Thank you so much for all that you have done in your life, and your music with Linkin Park. I know you've got to be jamming with Bowie and Cornell right about now.

I also suffer with deep depression plus having Asburgers it's called by a newer name now and I went from having thoughts of suicide since I was a bulled kid up to 10th grade, my Mom pulled me out then on December 23rd of 2014 my lifeline died of cancer, Mom was the only reason I never acted on my thoughts of suicide. So after her passing I did it and I now have a new family that I can talk to when my thoughts get to that point.
It's sorta of harder to come to terms with all of this, LP had such a big impact on me. This is a really sweet tribute, thank you Subeta, and for the resources to help people
Uh, the feels T_T..I've listened to LP since high school and been a fan ever since. Really great band, to have touched so many
Thank you, Chester, may you rest in peace <3
Thank you, Chester, may you rest in peace <3
This pains me in the heart very much. I was like.. 6 years old? When I first heard "Numb". Since then, I have been following them. This is a sad day. But I appreciate this tribute.
Rest in Peace Chester.
Rest in Peace Chester.
It's hard to even put into words... it is so sad that someone who has made such an impact on so many people, helped so many people in this same situation get through it, could be gone like this. We aren't taking enough care of each other, that people are holding these things in them and society is still so resistant to acknowledge how serious depression is.
It is so important to get help. Things can and will get better. Reach out and don't stop reaching out, never ever stop, health and happiness are possible and you're loved and appreciated.

I'm so crushed by this. It gets me really, really hard. I just can't even really talk about it or articulate how much I'm hurting. I already had 2 deaths that shook me this week and this one, while not as close, just really, really broke the camels back you know.
R.I.P Chester. Thank you Subeta for this wonderful item. Linkin Park got me threw some ruff times in my life so this does hit close to home for me.
@shaunathedead like staff has said before they can't do one for everybody they just do it for ones that impact a particular staff member it's up to them to make one it's not required.
I just heard the news, this is very heartbreaking...
I remember back in my teen years, I would listen to a lot of Linkin Park. They really did speak for a lot of people who felt like outcasts...
Rest in peace, Chester.

I've been feeling really depressed this last week and yesterday I was crying because I couldn't remember the last time I was actually happy. I relate to Linkin Park's songs so much when I feel like this. I listened to the album Living Things a few days ago, and hearing that Chester killed himself, while I didn't expect it, I wasn't surprised.
Thank you for the tribute. The loss hits very close to home and it's hard to accept what has happened. Stay safe and strong, everyone.
I'm really glad to see such a tribute. Knowing this has happened hurts, considering that band was one of the ones that had helped me overall with their music years ago. I've been a fan of them for so long and just.. hearing this, I'm really torn up right now. Rest in peace.
I'm so honored to be able to play on a website where the members care so deeply. Linkin Park was a huge part of my childhood and this is such a lovely tribute. Rest in Peace, Chester ♥
Amazing tribute item to a very talented man. I'm very glad you did this to pay your respects. Well done. <3
oh. :(
i heard linkin park mentioned earlier but I didn't realize what it was all about.
rest in peace. and thank you Subeta. it's amazing how you guys are always so humble & aware of this kind of stuff.

When I was in high school, Chester lived across the alley from me and it's always stuck with me how one time he came over just to introduce himself and chill and play ping pong with us. He was so soft spoken and kind and it's always been a memory I've treasured. Not a lot of deaths hit me, but this one is just really close to home.
I'm not bawling my eyes out, YOU'RE bawling your eyes out!
I told my mom about this and we got to talking -- she had a friend call her before giving up his life, 20 years ago. She still breaks down and cries about it.
Suicide is very real & very devastating. I know it might be hard but once someone makes that choice, there's not back button to press.
If anyone has problems, my inbox is open, please know that people care. don't be afraid to ask for help -- it's not weak or shameful to do so.

At first, I felt a bit upset seeing this--my girlfriend attempted last night, so I thought it was some kind of sick coincidence.
And now to hear about Chester?
Absolutely devastating. I have no words.

Absolutely devastating. I have no words.
Thank you for this...there needs to be more of an open dialogue about mental illness...for those struggling, just know that you ARE loved and that there are other options.
It's a sad day for sure. I know it feels like no one can help you when you are that deep into depression but there will always be someone out there willing to listen and help.
Hugs to everyone feeling like no one cares. Someone DOES care! I promise you. Thanks subeta team for addressing and recognizing this mental illness.

Thank you for this nice little tribute, Subeta. I think a lot of us are having a hard time with what happened today... Rest easy, Chaz.
brilliant. thank you for posting these numbers, all of you who have. Suicide may seem like a lonely act, but it's not. You affect more than just yourself. Those you affect are the ones who love the heck out of you. Don't rob yourself of that joy and love. It's yours for the taking.
When you think no one cares. When you think you don't matter. When you think you are a burden or a waste of human breath. Sit back and look back on your life and find just one time when you helped someone (even the smallest act) and remember that you do matter. You are important and you do make a difference, one small moment at a time.

I never thought about it like that...gave me chills. :c
btt, A friend of mine is listening to a variety of LP songs right now, and I wanted to, but I can't. :< Maybe tomorrow.
It's really cute that there's a tribute item AND a mention to help hotlines. I really appreciate this; Subeta staff really cares. Thanks ♥

Thank you Chester, Mike and LP in general for helping me going through my late-childhood and teenage years.
I also attempted suicide and went to a facility to get help. I remember listening to "somewhere I belong" while going to school and feeling like an outcast. One more light feels heavy on me. Chester, wherever you are, may you rest in peace and be free of whatever you felt heavy. Thank you for shedding a light on my life. Thank you for your lyrics. Thank you for your music.
Whoever you are, if you need help, please reach out. You're worth it and worth the help.
Thank you for this tribute.

Oh man... I'd seen the news on Twitter and thought it was sad enough that someone had died so young. Didn't realise until now it was suicide. :( I'm no Linkin Park fan, but this is still awful news. It's gotta be horrible for Chester's friends and family, and for the fans.
Lovely tribute, and great message from Subeta. I hope it helps anyone who could really use this right now. <3

It's so sad to think about, a lot of LP's songs helped me when I first started to struggle with depression. I hope the rest of the band's okay, while they deal with this.
Is it weird as a nearly 30 year old woman to say that I kind of get what Nirvana fans felt like when Kurt Cobain lost his life by suicide? Chester Bennington was the voice of the music that spoke to so many teens when it came out, like Nirvana was to teens of that time.

Gah I've avoided most social media bc of this today. I'm not really one to get upset over celebrity deaths, few get to me... but him... </3 I've listened to them literally for over half my life, since I was 12 (and I will be 30 this year). So many of their songs, his lyrics, have helped my through my own problems in my life. "My December" is one of my favorite songs. So, so upsetting to hear about Chester passing. Rest well. </3
...did not expect this logging in today... have to admit it is a really wonderful thing y'all have done in honoring him though. (and for your message, it's so easy to forget how loved you are. No matter how dark it is, keep on fighting to find the light.)

This - this is the first I've heard of this. Oh my gosh... chills just went down my spine. I'm absolutely heartbroken and devastated to hear this. I love Linkin Park - they're by far one of my favorite bands. I can't believe this has happened? Oh my goodness... I just. I hope where-ever you are now, Chester, that you have found someplace where you are finally at peace. I'm so sorry this has happened. I just can't believe this. Their music meant so much to me when I was younger, and even now this just feels like a complete blow.
Know that you touched the lives of so many - so many - with your wonderful music. I'll never forget you, as I'm sure many others won't, either. You will always be a part of this world's legacy, even if you've moved on. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this - to his loved ones, and all his fans. Thank you so much Subeta for honoring his memory. He truly will be missed. ♥️

I literally just learned about this a moment ago, and audibly gasped when I saw the news. :( RIP, Chester. My thoughts are with his friends and family, and with every fan in whose life he made a difference.
Thank you, subeta staff. He will be dearly missed, and if ANYONE here is ever in need of help, venting, anything, my smail and comments are always open. You matter, and you are lovely just the way you are.
rip :c i still have hybrid theory and meteora, i havent listened to them in a while, but they were there for a good part of my early teenage years <3
I've been in such a foul mood all day. Thank you for the tribute!
Chester Bennington, you will be missed. RIP.

this got me more than any of the news releases. linkin park will always hold a special place in my heart.
The voice of some of the hardest times of my life. Rest in Peace, Chester. You will be missed far more than you realize.
2017 has been rough. My favorite cousin committed suicide, I lost two precious kitty cats. Tomorrow is a funeral for my husband's cheery uncle who fell and hit his head and died. Oh and my uncle just got diagnosed with cancer. Did I miss anything? And my cousin's suicide was... hanging .. so the suicides in the news with same have just.. oh it just hurts. :'(
The timing of this news post is spooky because I've been doing very badly with depression as of late.
i'm so baffled by this. people, reach out. even if it feels impossible to articulate. say something, anything. to anyone able to listen, doesn't have to be a parent or family member for that matter. if the right people know, it won't all be for naught. i know how hard it can be, but i've also learned that i have to be open about how far out i am. even if it sounds ugly, violent, or irrational as it comes out. sometimes that helps lessen the burden, even if it's just for a minute.
Not wishing to hijack at all but I know there are a few portuguese around, so also remember:

So tragic. His music brought me out of dark places in middle school, high school, today, tomorrow. Rest in peace Chester you've touched and changed so many lives!
This free gift is so special to me. I was trying to hold back all day since I found out but this just made it all real. Thank you for showing your support. LP and LP fans, stay strong and we are in this together. RIP Chester <3

I've been really torn up about this since I found out. And this is so touching.

Thank you for doing this, Subeta Staff. It's so hard to believe that this sort of thing can happen to someone you've admired for so long. Suicide, depression, mental illness in general...these sort of things aren't given enough awareness and understanding in our society today. Maybe if they were we could have helped him and all the others who've suffered...before it was too late.
My heart goes out to his family, his band mates and to everyone who looked up to and loved his music. He will be deeply missed. ?

What a touching tribute to Chester Bennington and Linkin Park as a whole. Glad you also mentioned the suicide hotlines and that you're thinking of all of us. God bless you Subeta <3
Thank you for this. I've been kinda choked up thinking about this all day, and it's really appreciated that you're thinking about everyone in recent light of it all. <3
