Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington Quotable quotes

Chester Bennington, the lead vocalist of rap-metal band Linkin Park, has passed on today (21 July 2017) at 40.

He will forever be remember for his contribution in the music industry in the rap-metal genre.

He had his personal struggles with substance abuse that he had admitted and was fighting them.
In fact some of the these struggles fuelled his music. He used music as an outlet to his struggles. His vocals were heartfelt and exposed deeply his emotions.

We will forever remember him. Here are top 10 of his most profound quotes:

1. "Asking someone to describe what something sounds like is like telling a blind person to guess what I look like."
2. "Success is nice, but it shouldn't be the only reason why you're a musician."
3. I have been able to tap into all the negative things that can happen to me throughout my life by numbing myself to the pain so to speak and kind of being able to vent it through my music.
4. We'd like to think that our music will always be bigger than any one of our individual personalities.
5. "It's cool to be a part of recovery. This is just who I am, this is what I write about, what I do, and most of my work has been a reflection of what I've been going through in one way or another."
6. "I was a geek who thought I was cool. I didn't hang out with a particular clique, but with different people from different cliques. I was a total nerd, trying to fit in. Luckily, I found music and that was my niche. That sorta took me out of my geekdom. I was never invited to parties as a teenager - I turned up with the popular people. That's where the lyrics to 'Guilty By Association' came from."
7. "I don't like to hold back, because that's how you hurt yourself."
8. "I'm strong on the outside, not all the way through. I've never been perfect, but neither have you."
9. "You're constantly trying to prove yourself, even after you've made it."
10. “When I'm writing, I'm constantly thinking about myself, because it's the only experience I have to draw on. And I don't see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience, but I know that my songs have validity to them, and that's why the fans are there."

Bonus quote by Chester Bennington

“What’s the worst thing I've stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back."
