People can say what they want, but for many people, especially in their 20s, linkin park was a big middle school/highschool influence for them. They certainly were for me. If it weren't for them and other mainstream bands of the 90s and early 2000s, I wouldn't be into much of the music I am into now
Yeah, I totally loved them 10-15 years ago. Heck, I still do and I listen to their stuff from back then... I always have that awesome Live In Texas compilation album in my music library. They were definitely a huge band at the time and they got so far with some amazing albums like Meteora or Hybrid Theory. Sadly all this doesn't even matter right now, this tragic news is heartbreaking. RIP Chester
