Well, for a fan of the band for years (including some of their more commercially successful albums) I have held onto hope that maybe this album wouldn’t be as bad as we imagined and maybe it was just a case of two songs that were misses surrounded by a whole bunch of winners. The road to One More Light has been a pretty tumultuous one for LP fans following massive worldwide global backlash after the release of their first single ‘ Heavy‘ which infact was the complete opposite in sound compared to the title, but we’ll push that factor aside because they did tell us this album was going to be completely different compared to previous ones, however things started to go downhill when frontman Chester Bennington began telling fans to “ Shut the Fuck Up” when it came to criticism of the song and even went as far as telling us all to get over it. For those who could not, we hope this live album gives you a glimpse into how magical these shows were for the six of us.Mike Shinoda // Vocals, Rhythm Guitar, Synthesizer, Keyboard Pianoīrad Delson // Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals For those of you who attended this tour in person, we thank you. His dedication to bringing these songs to life was triumphant. With his voice, he turned pain into catharsis, authenticity into art, and passion into connection. Without them, these shows would not have been possible.Ĭhester was uniquely passionate, uncommonly generous, sensitive, optimistic, funny and kind. Best of all, it was a moment to express our gratitude that we were living our dream.Ĭhester never forgot to express his appreciation to our crew – the men and women who traveled the world with us, making our dream into reality night after night.
Chester always took it upon himself to turn the name of the city where we were playing into a first-rate run. The camaraderie and joy we experienced on stage reflected our deep connection with each other, with our fans, and with the music.Įvery night before walking out onto the stage, we would huddle, get focused, and share whatever last-second remarks popped into our heads. Chester shared with us that he felt this was the best tour we had ever done. The shows we played together during the early summer of 2017 were extraordinary. Not surprisingly, he welcomed the challenge. “We dedicate this live album to our brother Chester Bennington who poured his heart and soul into ‘One More Light.’ After we finished recording the album, we joked with Chester that – since he had delivered so many stunning performances in the studio – he had set the bar extra high to produce that alchemy on stage each night.
The group shared the following statement: The album is currently available for pre-order here. The record will feature 16 tracks that were recorded during their One More Light world tour and it is dedicated to the late frontman Chester Bennington, who committed suicide on July 20th. Linkin Park will release a live album entitled, One More Light Live, on December 15th.
