@Godder Oh, I agree in principle that even fuckwits have legal rights to protect. I just can't get my head around something like this going to the Supreme Court. Did the woman involved come up with that idea on her own, or was she encouraged to do so? If so, to what end?

Bloody hell, I fucking love that guy. Was obsessed with Linkin Park back in the day, and still listen to their stuff from time to time. Very sad.... RIP.

I always thought Linkin Park were shit so in one sense this death means nothing but the old 'millionaire rock star with the dream life leaving 6 kids etc' whingers come out in force every time this happens.

I never liked Linkin Park so in one sense this death means nothing but the old 'millionaire rock star with the dream life leaving 6 kids etc' whingers come out in force every time this happens.

That spark that creates brilliance can be a knife edge. Some times I'm grateful for my less exciting existence.

James Hefield said once if a metal band had a k where a c should be that means they were shit . Having said that LP were a cut above Korn and Limp Bizkit.
According to the press he had a history of mental health issues which probably meant he never really got to enjoy the lifestyle his money bought him.

Both those groups did at least a couple of decent tracks but the early 2000s was a pretty dark period for rock music.

Haha, fair enough. LP were miles ahead of Korn and Limp Bizket (who were truly terrible) mainly thanks to how outrageously talented Chester was. Those other two bands didn't have anyone on his level.

Really? It's all subjective of course but saying Chester Bennington was outrageously talented even compared to those two is seriously pushing it. 'Nookie' and ' Got the life' are far catchier ( or perhaps I should say far less shit ) than anything Linkin Park ever did in my opinion.

RIP Chester and condolences to those who loved him that he left behind
I was never a Linkin Park fan (or a nu metal fan in general) but when I first heard LP in the day, they struck me as a poor mans Korn rip off. The first two Korn albums were ok (they were quite original for their time) but then the whole genre seemed to sell out. Life is Peachy is as good as Nu Metal ever got imo.

It also (should) put paid to all the well meaning "The door's always open, the kettle's always on.... ... and share to show that someone always cares" type of posts that start doing the rounds again on Facebook.
When someone's in trouble you usually have to somehow figure it out and then go to them... whether it's mental health or surf lifesaving...
People at that level of stardom have no shortage of people around who they could reach out to for support, and sure as heck could afford a private pyschologist or whoever. So if they can't reach out when they're in that much trouble, the 'average man on the street' won't be saved by well meaningly copying a status update about the kettle always being on either.
Sadly.
RIP 2017
