Ford Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 29th February 2008, North American Arena Tour: Chester was sick, but at the same time, Linkin Park had one of the most touching performances ever. The way the fans encouraged Chester to keep on singing shows a powerful bond between the band and their loyal fans, and the way Mike encouraged Chester shows a beautiful relationship between the two co-singers.
Mike: "How you guys out there feeling right now? You're feeling pretty good? You sound great. And you sound great too, mister. Mister Chester."
Chester: "It sounded a hell a lot better than I do."
Mike: "Does anybody else wanna call bullshit on that right now? Not to-not to put - it's not a judgement call on you guys cause you guys are just singing your hearts out and we do appreciate that and we love you guys. But come on, man, give yourself some fucking credit up here."
Chester: "Alright, alright..."
Mike: "For the fucking big rockstar that he is, he sure beats up on himself a lot and I hate to see that because you kick ass, bro."
Chester: "I'm fragile- "
Mike: "You kick ass."
Chester: "...I'm a fragile man."
You sure can kick a hell lot of ass, Chester. And you too mister Mike, way to cheer up your boy. That's so adorable. Download the audio file of said conversation HERE.
Thanks Giggawhat11 for this and Shela for correcting the quote. Respect!
Albuquerque: Chester is the best singer in rock 'n' roll
Saturday, December 13, 2008
Journal Pavilion, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 6th August 2008: a make-up date for a show canceled earlier the same year when Chester was sick. Chris Cornell, who Chester claimed to be one of the best rock 'n' roll singers in the world, didn't come out and join Linkin Park for Crawling. Mike used this chance to tell his co-frontman that Chester himself is indeed the best in rock 'n' roll. Another sweet moment showing the respect Mike and Chester hold for each other, their deep friendship and maybe something more than that ;)
Mike: "Hey Chester, you're the best singer in rock 'n' roll.That's you."
Chester: "Fucker...I'm blushing, dude. Thanks a lot."
Mike: "Second best though tonight especially, is these guys. Listen I'm telling you."
Chester: "Yeah..."
Download the audio file of "In The End" from said show HERE to listen to the lovely conversation between our couples. And if someone's interested in the amazing Hands Held High rapping over reanimated intro of Crawling + Chester awesome performance of this song without Chris + Mike saying "Hey Chester" (props to anyone who cut those audio files, ha, you just gotta part an awesome quote into two songs), download "Crawling" HERE
A picture came along with this show's SBD CD
Thanks Jaclyn for the tip and Shela for the quote. You guys rock hardcore!

Tho some of us (including me) are over the 'VOTE FOR LP!!11!!' phrase quite a long time ago, I think it would be really nice of you to vote for LP in their third round against Paramore for Fuse's Best of 2008 video: CLICK THIS LINK - you don't have to register or anything, just click Linkin Park and vote. Easy peasy? (promise me we won't lose for Paramore >:0 )
Check out the interview of Mix 93.9 with Linkin Park, which is actually a Meet and Greet with these two LPers in Bonner Springs, Kansas, 13th August 2008. Watch to see Mike broke his chair (wot's dat wit yo ass, homie?) and hear Mike and Chester talking about plans for Linkin Park, Fort Minor and Dead By Sunrise (which Chester said he would simply call 'Chester Bennington' indeed)

Linkin Park has been forced to cancel their upcoming Music For Relief Concerts in Mainland China, Macau and Taipei as lead vocalist Chester Bennington has sustained a back injury and is under doctor's orders to refrain from traveling or any physical activities. Linkin Park sincerely regrets this unavoidable cancellation and apologizes to fans for any disappointment caused. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.
The concerts were organized as fundraisers to benefit Sichuan, an area ravaged by a devastating earthquake this past May. However, thanks to generous donations from concert promoter Emma Ticketmaster and Linkin Park, funds will still be contributed to the band’s nonprofit organization, Music for Relief, and matched by the World Bank. These funds will benefit post-earthquake reconstruction projects in the Sichuan Province initiated by Chinese Civil Society Organizations.
The cancelled shows are as follows: Oct. 12 - Shanghai, China - Shanghai Stadium Oct. 15 - Wuhan, China - Xinhua Stadium Oct. 17 - Taipei, Taiwan - Taipei Soccer Stadium Oct. 19 - Beijing, China - Beijing Workers Stadium Oct. 21 - Macau, China Cotai Arena - The Venetian
Chester's back injury seems to be serious. You can listen to Mike talking about Chester's injury and their cancellation on X-treme Radio: DOWNLOAD HERE.
Basically, Mike doesn't have much information about Chester's sickness either. When being asked about the Las Vegas cancellation, Mike said he wish he knew, he wish he had better information to tell people and he didn't have a clear picture of what happened. All he knew is that Chester was at his house, not doing anything particularly strenuous and his back suddenly went out. Chester was in so much pain he couldn't even stand up and people had to bring him to hospital on a stretcher. That resulted in the cancellation of not only the Las Vegas concert for UNLV students but also the whole Asian Tour in October.
All I have to say is: get well soon, Chester. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Good ole stuff: a small video cut out from the Linkin Park MTV Essential 2007 where Mike talked about his first Chester's painting - download HERE (.avi file, 2.2 mb). Thanks Iris for the tip!
Mike: "Chester actually gave me a painting for.. this year. It's my first Chester Bennington's. It's on my wall. It's pretty awesome. And it turns out that Chester is pretty damn good at painting."
BennodaRocks<3 sent in the link of one of the Frat Party At The Pankake Festival DVD commercial/trailers on YouTube with Mike and Chester looking all young and like two wackos, :3. Watch it here:

Check out the lastest fanart by Terasa/ Butterfly called "Wedding Kiss" - a cocktail of romance for your weekend.
Last but not least, high quality video of Enth E Nd performance at Club Tattoo 11th Anniversary party, 22.04.2006. Since the DVD quality itself is not exactly very high and is a leftshot, so the quality of the video in general is pretty low. However, this used to be rare stuff, so we'll treasure what we got anyway. Download the video HERE (.mpg file, 32.2 mb). Thanks Jaclyn for the DVD download link (posted in the Media Thread/ Bennoda MB) and Phospho for sharing this with the world.
As promised, we proudly bring to you the high quality video of Sweet Child O' Mine (Guns n' Roses cover) performance (16th August 2008, East Troy, WI, Alpine Valley Music Theatre, Projekt Revolution Tour ). Thanks Lance for sharing with us this amazing video: all our gratefulness to you for your generosity. Sweet Child O' Mine was first played by Linkin Park at the Rock Im Park show, 2nd June 2001, and brought back in 2004 at Mountain View (click the links and download to have a hear of those versions). The records of this songs are classified as rare media for the exceptionality of the performance, and the come back of this cover after 4 years is just as special. So grab the video as quick as you can :) Download the hires video HERE (.avi file, 158 mb, Bennoda.co.nr exclusive). Screencaps (720x480 pixels):
