I don't want to sound horrible but a 'girl singer'' for Linkin Park is just not right. Full story: https://bit.ly/3MBS1Hd

Come on guys, stop being such grown-ups! Linkin Park is a whole band, not just one guy singing! The other members have every right to keep making music, even without Chester. I miss him, but I'm excited to see where they go next. Chester would be proud of them for moving on. 🤘🎵

Chester's vocal skills are irreplaceable in Linkin Park, but I'm excited to hear and see what the next generation of the band has to offer. Congratulations!

In the end, it's Linkin Park and they can totally rock out to their old jams. Yeah, it's not quite the same without Chester belting out the tunes, but hey, he's one of a kind. They've put in the hours and built a solid fan following over the years. Most fans will stick around, knowing it'll never be... View More

I appreciate the effort, but she really can't hit those high notes like Chester. She should stick to her own lane and stop trying to cover his songs. I'm not hating, just stating my two cents.

Chester was LP, not Mike. The new lead is okay but can't sing the old LP songs well. Brian could do Bon's songs but doesn't have the range. AC/DC made great new songs with Brian. Hopefully LP can do the same.

As a musician, I say bands can do what they want and fans can do what they want. That's the cool thing about art - it's always evolving. Look at Deep Purple, they've changed their lineup, Red Hot Chili Peppers have done it a bunch of times, and Fleetwood Mac is totally different now. Change happens,... View More

The new song is fire and she's killin' it. Bands gotta keep on keepin' on, even after a tragedy. People are showin' mad love for it. It's cool if it ain't your cup of tea, as long as the band's vibing with it.

Linkin Park looked after my head when I was in a bad place a couple of years ago, I reckon it's awesome that a chick is belting out the tunes that got me through.

I think Corey Taylor would have been a great replacement for Chester Bennington, as his powerful voice is a good match and his heavy baritone contrasts with Chester's light tenor.

Chester Bennington will always be irreplaceable. He was the heart of Linkin Park. Maybe Mike should have followed Corey Taylor's lead and started a side project (like Stone Sour). Just my two cents 🤷♀️

Travel insurance should be mandatory because accidents can happen anytime. Steve Robinson
because there's never a shortage of "let's help a bro out" pages
Last night on TV, they didn't even give a shoutout to the awesome folks who donated $75,000 on GoFundMe! Can you believe it?!
They drive so weird over there, it's like a gamble. I don't think tourists should risk it.
Don't forget your travel insurance, even for road tripping in Oz. You never know what could go down!
That's why I would never go to that place, it's way too overhyped. Peter Ricci
If you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel abroad. Nathaniel O'Neill
Sorry, but it's his fault, not having travel insurance and all that jazz won't cover someone else's foolishness!
Lots of people go over there, stuff happens, and then they expect everyone to pitch in. I'm getting tired of it. Just get your insurance and follow the rules, it's not that hard. Jason Campbell
Totally feel you on that - gotta cop that Travel Insurance for sure.
This has been happening forever, but it looks like some folks just can't catch on!
Travel insurance should be a must. Life can be super tough. And no helmet? That's just asking for trouble. It's sad, but come on... Emily Barbieri
So, he didn't have a helmet or travel insurance, and his mom is blaming the scooter for everything. She still hasn't said thank you to the people who donated money.
Sadly, we humans never wanna listen to advice - we always think "nah, that won't happen to me" and that mindset helps us skate through most situations - until something crazy goes down and suddenly everyone's world is flipped upside down, never to be the same. But do we learn? Nah, not really.
It's so sad, but I don't get why people go to Bali or other countries without travel insurance 🤔 and then expect others to cover their mistakes by setting up GoFundMe pages.
Most travel insurances do not typically cover accidents while riding mopeds, scooters, or motorbikes in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, or Bali.
This same old story keeps popping up every now and then. Before heading out on a trip, folks should take a minute to Google some info and make sure they've got the right travel insurance (they're not all the same). It's a bummer, my heart goes out to him and his mom.
You're out of luck if you hit the sauce and then need to make a claim on your travel insurance!
