When was chesters voice best?

so just wondering in what year you think chesters voice was best to see if he improved or got worse in your opinions..

personally i'd say 2004

I'd say 2001. And I'm not saying 2004 because I know that 2004 was the single year that Linkin Park was the most professionally recorded, and everytime they did all their mistakes were fixed digitally or whatever. It's like the first time they played Pushing Me Away's Piano version....Chester sang the wrong lyrics; but later in LPU6, you hear the exact same song (with the exact same speaking at the beginning and the exact same everything) except that every time Chester had made a mistake before, he didn't on this recording.

So they can fix all that stuff. And I'm sure they did so for like, RAR04 and on when they actually had time to do so.

But he's definitely gotten worse. He used to be phenomenal, but now he's just okay. He can still do crazy shit on stage, like Faint's outro when he improvises, or nailing the high notes in Given Up, but he can't do anything basic for shit and that's why he fails in my book.

2004.

Rock AM Ring.

Nuff said.

*cough*

Zomg. Chester is liek, the Best singer evar!

*cough*

Err huh? I just said when I thought his voice was best, like the thread said. No sign of fanboyism tbh.

Did I quote you? Then I wasn't talking to you. Take a closer look at the post, lol.

oops my bad lol, thanks for adding

I wouldn't personally say 2004, cause what I've seen of 2004 (mainly rar) sucks...

if we put a reference point to papercut, the last papercut whose bridge didn't suck was in my book in 2003, LIT for example

I go with 2007 because I heard him live 2 times and it was awesome...don't let you get fooled by those bootleg recordings....

Yeah the sbd´s get way too close to studio sounding recordings

Live it´s just..live :-P

that's the most wrong statement i've ever read on this board and I've heard some doozys.

hahahahaha. Thats awesome.

But I am actually getting kind of sick of listening to the SBD's... I miss the good ol fashioned bootlegs... from 2004!!

2004. Mid/late 2004. He was sick at the last part of MWT. From the Euro Festivals to the end of PR, Chester's voice was the best it'll ever be. Mountain View 04 = best time ever....

lol.

Come on, guys, seriously.

Chester's voice in 2004 was so nasally. I remember Mark personally IM'ing me when Osaka came out saying how Chester had gotten SO MUCH BETTER at singing and how he wasn't nasally and had had pretty much a year and a half to rest his voice.

You guys aren't voting based on the Criteria, I say rename the poll to 'which year gives you the biggest LP Fangasm?'

And the logical answer would be 2004, then. You've got so many highly regarded performances. RAR04, for one, (but only because that's when LP started doing different shit to the beginning of the songs. lol), and that's when Meteora was still fresh in everyone's heads.

Chester's voice just gets too tired for too long. I think LP should hold back on the touring thing abit. I feel sorry for them, to be honest. Poor kids all over the world demand that they come to their country / city / village / whatever, and for what? Mainstream value?

I would much rather get a great live performance on my hard drive, than witness a shitty one live, to be honest.

that's the most wrong statement i've ever read on this board and I've heard some doozys.

Maybe you got me wrong.

I was talking about that you don't hear the audience so much, so that it's just like lp is performing in a studio (like aol), I like listening to the soundboards cause it's different every time, but you just don't feel the energy like at audience recordings

Oh! Then yes. Yes, I did. My apologies. Then yes, it is like Linkin Park is performing in a studio, except for every once in a while you can hear some screaming, and it's not over-produced like a normal LP Record is. And the performances aren't as clean. Rob's are, but he doesn't exactly play sick polyrhythms and massive sextuplet/32nd note based fills like most drummers do.

hey if you don't like LP

leave

leave

Did I say that? No, I didn't.

I'm sorry that I'm one of the few people who knows that Linkin Park aren't the end-all/be-all of music.

Although, Linkin Park is one of the bands that doesn't sound as good live.... There are some bands, that can nail their performances everytime. But, even though they've got personalities, and they've got energy, they are, and will always be, a studio band. By the very nature of the music, they're a studio band. I'm sorry.

I can even recall a quote from some period in the recording process of MtM where Mike and Brad just kept adding stuff to the songs and Brad said something like "How are we going to play all these parts live?" and Mike said something like, "I guess we'll figure it out when we play these songs live."

That right there is enough of an indication.

EDIT - hey I'm pretty proud of myself for that post... I could've just been a smartass and said "Hey, if you don't like that other people have opinions that are different than yours, [insert random "move-to-X-dictatorship" comment here]

But I won't do that.
