Felipeintheend from lplive.net posted the full video of Breaking The Habit performance at the Smoke out Festival in San Bernardino, California, 15th November 2003. This is the first time Chester and the band performed this song and you can see how emotional it was for the band, especially Chester.

Show download and other info are HERE on LPlive.net

Also, we have a new affiliate: Chester Bennington Fansite. Check them out.

Update on the LPU chat with Chester Bennington, one dearest half of Bennoda, on January 23rd, 2009. Well, one Bennoda-related question was asked and passed! But Chester's reply kind of made everyone confused.

hiddentalentz says to (17:26):Chester, back when you were on Loveline in April, Bennoda Mountain was mentioned. Any new thoughts on that?
chesterbennington says to (17:28):hiddentalentz- that was a long time ago.
chesterbennington says to (17:28):we're on to new things

You guys are on to new things? Like what? Running to Las Vegas and getting married by an Elvis impersonator? Sound like great plan!

Silly jokes aside, he also mentioned how he encountered emotional difficulty when he tried to performed Breaking The Habit

JenJen says to darknessovrme (16:40):I would like to know what song is hardest on you either emotionally or physically to perform and why?
chesterbennington says to (16:41):jenjen- emotionally -when we wrote “Breaking The Habit”, it was hard to sing but I got over it. Physically- “Given Up” and “Crawling.”
chesterbennington says to (16:41):I think those ones are more obvious

and his favorite Linkin Park video so far is Breaking The Habit.

Tiff07 says to (17:03):Out of all the LP music videos, which one is your favorite thus far?
chesterbennington says to (17:04):tiff07- hmmm....I still have to say “Breaking The Habit” is the best video

and how their lyrics mean so much to him and Mike

Q_Dizzle says to chesterbennington (17:38):Numb was pretty much the song that made me a fan of you guys and is still to this day my favorite song of all time (I have it as my ringtone actually). Just out of curiosity, does that song mean anything special to you or to any of the other band members?
chesterbennington says to (17:39):q-dizzle- “Numb”- well all the songs have special meaning to us, every song has special meaning to us, especially me and Mike on the lyrics since we're writing them.

Other than that, Chester also said he thinks he would make a great teacher. His solo album will hopefully be released this September. New Linkin Park album will have about 8 songs (-_-) His drink of choice is Jet Fuel. They will open a Club Tattoo in Texas. He may try to rap in the future (lol, he did, IPT and lollipop, anyone?). He also doesn't know why he himself is such a nice guy (-_-) and the guys dislike haters on fansites as well as gossips (oooh gossipy things, what about Bennoda?). He admits that he's turning into an old guy but will always be young mentally, and that he's 16 in his brain. That's quite an amazing chat. Read the whole chat transcript HERE. Thanks Naz for posting it on the board!

dum dum dum... Bennoda by SSjUmi


rose4tragedy has just uploaded her uber brilliant Bennoda doujinshi named Lost and Found. If my memory is not tricking me, this must be the first complete short-manga about Bennoda we have ever had. Amazing, I say! Thank you very much, rose4tragedy, for sharing this with us. This definitely goes straight to my yaoi/shounen ai fav. list, along with the likes of Deriku Otoko and Kikoro Kikai! Should we expect a very next volume? :D


The amazing TYshangshan didn't forget to feed us with her steaming hot arts: Bennoda Kiss II and a sexy scene inspired by Santa's Naughty Little Helpers by astraloree. You'd better find something to cool yourself down after seeing those!

The lovely madebyDun also has some fanarts up. Check out her gallery for more!
