Another rockstar's gone - PIP Chester Bennington

[el numero uno]

Death scares the hell out of me. Not the pain involved in dying but the fact that you're gone and that's it; no more you anymore. 

It's hard for me to accept that.

[el numero uno]

I guess depression really blinds your logic.

[MORTALCOIL]

Maybe he finally listened to one of his records.

[DroppingPlates]

I guess depression really blinds your logic.

Yes, and this goes for every extreme emotional state

[Earl1972]

i loved his music

some older sick fuck molested him all the time as a kid

it just goes to show even when some people are living their dreams, they are still stuck in the nightmare of their own mind

[visualizeperfection]

He didn't even lift.





Create more shit music in the afterlife, quitter.

[Primemuscle]

Very sad. He left behind six kids.

[Mobil]

I was a fan after "crawling" and "shadow of the day"...too bad he crashed really hard coming of his drug and alcohol binge..they just came out with a new album that is on top of the charts..hes a pussy for leaving his kids behind..it will emotionally scar them for life knowing their father killed himsef (very selfish on his part)..i have a friend who's father killed himself when his wife (my friends mom)got a divorce ..he changed totally and refuses to talk about it

Goes to show, he likely suffered from a real mental illness even piles of money and what life had to offer made no difference, some people reach a dark place.

I read he always had a drug and alcohol problem..when they got more famous fueled it more from a interview he said those comments..guess more cash flow..and he was best friends with chris cornell  (lead singer from soundgarden)..chris hung himself 2months ago and Chester sang at his funeral

I'm not afraid of death for myself.  I honestly just feel bad for the way it would affect my family and friends.  My mom would be a mess.

[wes]

He was no Greg Allman.

[Tapeworm]

Really faggoty name.  No one named Brick Steakgun ever killed himself.

[Marty Champions]

people who off themselves before 50 is pathetic before 60 stupid

over 80 acceptable

[SOMEPARTS]

[Mobil]

Damn..who would know this guy would be featured on Transformer movie soundtracks...he accomplished alot...but a pussy for quitting. Media shouldn't glamorize suicide, instead put it down..you are a pussy..instead of making people think that are suicidal think it's ok and will make people who are depressedy go out with a boom..and everyone remorse their death for two weeks then you are forgotten..."oh so sad he/she killed him or herself"...my dad taught me to not give up..today sucks and is horrible..but a year down the road you are happy...i was suicidal when I was young and my dad told me that..tomorrow is another day son...you never know what's gonna happen..you may meet the woman of your dreams

[Pray_4_War]

I wasn't a fan of his but I know some people that were tight with him.  They sad right now.  Way sad.

RIP dude.

They are probably one of the chief contenders for bands I never fucking want to hear again and Chester's vocal style is the top of the list as to why.

However, his death will do nothing to solve my quest to never hear him.

Also, Brian Welch's tweet.. it's a halfwit tweet.  Nobody who is healthy, rich, famous and has 6 children and wants to kill themselves is thinking straight, so why he wants to apply "thinking straight" logic to it and determine that Chester was a coward, is beyond me.  This dude is probably thinking "nobody likes me", "everybody is against me", "I hate life" and "they are better off without me".  He isn't a coward for killing himself, he is sick in the head.  Who hasn't had a moment in their life where they fail to see the virtue in anything?

Exactly. Go back and listen to some of his lyrics or watch a few of his interviews. They say hindsight is 20/20, but the signs were always there.

He wasn't a coward, and he wasn't a pussy. It was destiny manifest, and all of the sand ran out of his hourglass.

He gave up..he quit....depression is genetic without a doubt..just like everything else...depends how you decide to deal with it in life...with the right guidance you can overcome it..i have...no matter what ever positive you have in your life you have this inner voice putting you down non stop..its. a no win battle...its overcoming that voice telling you are a loser and blocking that voice and overcome...most depressed people's worst enemy are themselves

Sounds like you have been there. But let me ask you something.....imagine being in your deepest state of depression, and multiply that by a million.

You are a normal dude. Chester was literally known world wide, and had to probably fake a smile 90% of the time. He had expectations to live up to.

Depression can strike anyone, but circumstances can certainly elevate the anxiety of the situation. For 15+ years, Linkin Park has been one of the biggest bands in the world. I think his circumstances may differ a bit from yours.

Not at all.. he's rich and famous..im a average Joe working 9 to 5 with no financial help....sometimes I worked 2 jobs when I was younger to get by..used to fall asleep in my car out in parking lot to make sure I would be at work next day.....i used to be so depressed when I was younger, that I would not look at myself in the mirror...i would look down and put gel In my hair...its that negative voice in your head always putting you down...its genetic I believe 100% nobody else I know deals with it..its up to you to tell yourself it's only a voice in your head and not the truth

[luckyone]

Just curious Mobil, how did you "beat" it and what advice to others feeling depressed and hopeless would you offer. I work in the Mental Health Field and have seen many helped by modern medicine but a lot still aren't and need something different or in addition to medication. Anyway congrats to you, and hope you will inspire others to NOT GIVE UP!!

your brother in Christ,

Lucky

I don't think depression/that voice is always genetic.

When I was a teenager, I learned that I was not an attractive person (from other people informing me of this .  When I say that, I mean, I was described as the ugliest person someone had ever seen. 

Naturally, this created a negative voice in my head that discouraged me from interaction with people, where my looks will be in question and still to this day, those few moments guide my future (at least, when it comes to being around ze women).  I'm pretty sure I will get through life without ever having had a truly serious relationship because I simply do not possess the ability to see worth in my outward appearance at all - and even when I have had that worth projected on me by others, I just do not believe them and struggle to feel secure to trust in that worth.

In my case, I do not believe the negative voice is genetic.  I believe it is a combination of being someone who is very black and white about things hearing the wrong comments at the wrong time

I believe those moments shaped my future.

(I'm not depressed, though - I work with what I've got, but what I won't be having is a partner again, I think)

[Spike]

I think about my anxiety or whatever happens to me at night and when I sleep festering into something else - why I won't purchase a pistol


Mental health is what causes someone to go that route , we never know the real truth, but people being all upset and saying selfishness is a bit much - dude might have thoUght be himself was so batshit his kids would be better off without him - ur reasoning gets fckd, I've been there

Easy to commentate someone else's shit storm when ur sittin in ur nosebleed seat and never taken or will take a serious knock in ur life - mentally or physically - like some do

[Marty Champions]

only if he had a handome face like OJ , he would not died himself
