2022-7-21 REMEMBERING CHESTER

[0:00 - 0:25] I do a podcast as I was watching a reaction video real quick, but as you guys know I haven't
[0:25 - 0:54] been. APIs are probably where I haven't been live all the day for a very important reason. Because every time this time of year I
[0:54 - 1:23] go through an impressive phase and as you guys are aware today in 2017 the world lost a great vocalist
[1:23 - 1:48] if not the best vocalist, bar none of all time. This person is somebody that not only inspired me heavily but saved millions of lives
[1:48 - 2:06] through his music, through his songs, through everything. I got lucky enough to see them live a couple times and I can honestly
[2:06 - 2:30] say that there will never ever be another vocalist like Chester period. There will never be anybody like Chester at all. His voice and his
[2:30 - 2:57] lyrics were not only more powerful but they transcended time and they actually stood for something
[2:57 - 3:13] which is why I'm doing this tribute show for Chester and his honor because not only does he deserve it but this man was like family to
[3:13 - 3:28] the entire Lincoln Park community and any real LP fan will tell you that Chester was family to us. He was a part of the Lincoln Park
[3:28 - 3:53] family. So when we lost a vocalist we not only lost one of the greatest but the community lost a very integral part of its family.
[3:53 - 4:06] We lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world and we lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world and we lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
[4:06 - 12:25] We lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world and we lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
[12:25 - 12:33] We lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
[12:33 - 12:51] We lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world and we lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
[12:51 - 28:41] We lost one of the greatest vocalists in the world.
[28:41 - 28:56] [Music]
[28:56 - 28:59] All right, so this one I am going to switch up real quick.
[28:59 - 29:01] [Applause]
[29:01 - 29:05] Give me just a moment to go grab my other amp, and I'll be right back.
[29:05 - 29:09] [Music]
[29:09 - 29:11] First, everybody, that's homemade ice cream, man.
[29:11 - 29:13] It's just good.
[29:13 - 29:15] And it's homemade, too.
[29:15 - 29:21] [Music]
[29:21 - 29:23] All right, where is that amp?
[29:23 - 29:46] [Music]
[29:46 - 29:50] All right, so I'm going to have this situate a couple of things here.
[29:50 - 30:09] [Music]
[30:09 - 30:38] Whoa, that's fucking low.
[30:38 - 30:43] And here.
[30:43 - 30:59] The press I pay for being a musician sometimes, man, I swear.
[30:59 - 31:49] [Music]
[31:49 - 31:53] Ah, there we are, ready to roll.
[31:53 - 32:07] [Music]
[32:07 - 32:14] I'm dancing with my demons.
[32:14 - 32:21] I'm hanging on the edge.
[32:21 - 32:28] The storm comes out of anything.
[32:28 - 32:35] Please take a bow for your life.
[32:35 - 32:43] With the first of these sensations, I want to feel right awake now.
[32:43 - 32:47] And tell me it's a bone.
[32:47 - 32:53] Tell me I'm forgetting about tonight.
[32:53 - 32:57] But nobody is leaving now.
[32:57 - 33:00] I'm holding on to mine.
[33:00 - 33:07] Chasing out the darkest inside.
[33:07 - 33:16] 'Cause nobody is leaving.
[33:16 - 33:23] It's very interesting solution.
[33:23 - 33:30] Feel that there's yet to come.
[33:30 - 33:37] I drew the false solution.
[33:37 - 33:44] And nobody proved me wrong.
[33:44 - 33:48] Head first to the lucid nation.
[33:48 - 33:51] I want to fall right awake.
[33:51 - 33:55] Watch the crowd give me weight now.
[33:55 - 33:58] Tell me it's a bone.
[33:58 - 34:05] Tell me I'm forgetting about tonight.
[34:05 - 34:09] But nobody is leaving now.
[34:09 - 34:12] I'm holding on to mine.
[34:12 - 34:19] Chasing out the darkest inside.
[34:19 - 34:22] 'Cause nobody is leaving.
[34:22 - 34:28] I'm holding on to mine.
[34:28 - 34:42] It's very interesting solution.
[34:42 - 34:45] But nobody is leaving.
[34:45 - 34:50] I want to fall right awake.
[34:50 - 34:53] Tell me it's a bone.
[34:53 - 35:00] Tell me I'm forgetting about tonight.
[35:00 - 35:04] But nobody is leaving now.
[35:04 - 35:07] I'm holding on to mine.
[35:07 - 35:14] Chasing out the darkest inside.
[35:14 - 35:17] I don't want to let you down.
[35:17 - 35:20] Don't think I can save you.
[35:20 - 35:22] It's very interesting solution.
[35:22 - 35:26] But nobody is leaving.
[35:26 - 35:31] Oh, it's very interesting.
[35:32 - 37:47] Introduce yourself.
[37:47 - 37:49] Hold on, guys.
[37:49 - 37:59] I'll be right back.
[37:59 - 46:20] Hold on, what's that noise?
[46:20 - 46:40] I just find it funny how people like you trolls can sit down and waste your lives away.
[46:40 - 46:49] I just don't understand how you trolls, and I know Tattooed for Life, and I know CIA Ho, and I know Great Gazoo,
[46:49 - 46:53] I know they will all agree with this.
[46:53 - 47:02] I honestly don't see how you trolls can sit there and waste your lives away being so negative.
[47:02 - 47:20] What do you gain out of what you do?
[47:20 - 47:35] What do you gain from it, aside from a reaction, that's all you get is a fucking reaction.
[47:35 - 47:41] What do you gain out of being a negative person?
[47:41 - 47:50] I mean, if you don't like it, like if you don't like something, then you don't have to comment.
[47:50 - 48:19] Like, what you trolls do is so far beyond, like, human understanding.
[48:19 - 48:48] And here's the thing, I'm actually not.
[48:48 - 48:51] Goodbye, Gazoo.
[48:51 - 49:17] I said, do you want to be that way? See you later.
[49:17 - 49:30] No, not you. Not you. I was talking about the double.
[49:30 - 49:48] Let me make sure you say, oh, yeah, all right, you're good, Gazoo, you're good, man. But like I said, a lot of people ask me, why am I so negative?
[49:48 - 49:59] Why am I so negative? Well, why do you guys fucking do what you do to me and make my life a living hell?
[49:59 - 50:10] Like, why do you guys feel like you have to go out of your way to make my life harder than it already is?
[50:10 - 50:18] Like, I don't think you trolls truly understand just how hard I've had it.
[50:18 - 50:35] I've lost over five different people that I care about since 2016, starting with my older brother, who died from cancer.
[50:35 - 50:45] Then my best friend that I came up with in high school was shot and murdered in his family's pizza shop.
[50:45 - 50:56] And then after that, my good friend and fellow music artist, who also was my mentor, Koda Oda.
[50:56 - 51:05] And then unfortunately, I lost my ex-girlfriend, Lexi, to health issues.
[51:05 - 51:13] And then just this year, even though she was abusive, my current ex, Heather.
[51:13 - 51:23] So I've lost a lot of people over the last, since 2016. I've lost a lot of people.
[51:23 - 51:31] And it's not been easy. It's been hard.
[51:31 - 51:43] Like a lot of you guys, you get up, you do whatever. But what I don't get is why the fuck you can sit on the internet and attack somebody for no reason.
[51:43 - 51:50] Like, it doesn't make sense. Like, what do you gain out of getting a reaction out of somebody?
[51:50 - 51:58] Like, what do you gain out of attacking someone and making them feel worse than they already do?
[51:58 - 52:01] It makes no sense to me.
[52:02 - 52:30] [gun cocks]
[52:30 - 52:48] Like, if there's one thing that I learned from Chester, is that life is too damn fucking short to be negative towards people.
[52:48 - 52:56] Life is too fucking short to be wasted on being a negative person.
[52:57 - 53:06] We only have one life. You don't get a second chance. Once your life is done, it's done.
[53:06 - 53:14] There is no re-dos, no re-starts. This isn't fucking Call of Duty or a fucking video game.
[53:14 - 53:23] You have one fucking life. Make sure you get it fucking right the first damn time.
[53:23 - 53:35] [gun cocks]
[53:35 - 53:44] Because if you're fucked up, you're fucked up and there are no re-dos.
[53:44 - 53:51] Why do you think I try to be kind to everybody? Why do you think I try to be nice to everybody?
[53:51 - 53:53] [gun cocks]
[53:53 - 53:58] Because everybody deserves to be treated as a human being.
[53:58 - 54:01] [gun cocks]
[54:01 - 54:13] Like, I try to treat everybody with respect and kindness. I really do.
[54:13 - 54:21] You can ask a zoo, you can ask tattoo for life. Hell, you can't even ask CIA whole.
[54:21 - 54:29] I try to be kind to everybody. I really do. But yet, I get shit on.
[54:29 - 54:38] [gun cocks]
[54:41 - 54:49] Here's the thing. I have changed. It's just you guys refuse to see it.
[54:49 - 55:02] And that's all it is. I have changed. It's just that you refuse to see it. And you guys don't want me to change.
[55:05 - 55:12] And that's the thing. You guys don't want me to change. That's all it is. You don't want me to change.
[55:12 - 55:20] You want me to still be that same ass dumb fuck that I was four years ago.
[55:20 - 55:32] You don't want me to be better. You want me to suffer and I'm sorry, but I'm not going back to who I was.
[55:33 - 55:35] And if you don't like that, I'm sorry.
[55:35 - 55:43] But I'm not being that person that you want me to be.
[55:43 - 55:50] I refuse to be a victim anymore.
[55:50 - 55:53] This is my dad. He means well that this isn't--
[55:53 - 55:54] [gun cocks]
[55:54 - 55:58] I keep trying to tell him I think I might have ADHD, but he's not ready to accept that.
[56:02 - 56:03] [gun cocks]
[56:03 - 60:39] [music playing]
[60:39 - 60:41] Actually no, you know what?
[60:41 - 60:45] [music playing]
[60:45 - 60:47] I got something for you guys.
[60:47 - 84:05] [music playing]
