JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I've been thinking about this, it's one of my greatest fears LP without him wont be LP but who can do JUSTICE to Chester? this is a hard one there arent many singers who can sing softly, scream his brain out and also rap a little bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorast Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Linkin Park would be over, end of story. Chester and Mike are the two main draws for the band, and if either of them leave, the band's history. I feel like the band would dissolve if any of them left, honestly. It'd be a good excuse for Mike to move to solo work (not saying it'd be Fort Minor) or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm sure the band would continue if they could find a fitting replacement. Linkin Park has always been Mike's baby, you could probably replace 5/6ths of the band (with the possible exception of Joe) and still have an end product that sounds like Linkin Park. With that said, I honestly can't think of anybody who could just be thrown into the role of lead singer in Linkin Park without missing a beat. There are some good singer/screamers out there, but the older material would inevitably sound different with any of them singing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RockSylvie Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I don't know why are we talking about Chester's leaving. I don't think it's true. And even if it would be, Linkin Park remains Linkin Park because of Mike and the others. Well. maybe life's full of surprises, but I hope these are just rumors.

Joe_lp Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 No one, it¿d be the end... I rather Rob, Brad and Phoenix leave the band. They're replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Exactly this is just a what if thread i dont want Chester to leave the band Just focus on the topic Who has the skills to replace him? By the way because of this topic i had a dream about Amy Lee replacing Chaz at a Rock am Ring concert she did Crawling she sucked lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxstar Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 NO CHESTER - NO LINKIN PARK, HIS VOICE IS THE MAIN REASON WHY PEOPLE LISTEN THIS BAND. Tell anything about what Mike do for the band - it just makes no difference at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueSoul Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tell anything about what Mike do for the band - it just makes no difference at all.Dude what the hell. Without Mike they wouldn't have their sound of rock mixed with hip-hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pioneer0 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If Chester were to leave the band, lets just pray for it to be the end. If they would try to replace him with someone else - it would be a freaking disaster!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-Stone55 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Mark Wakefield This, end of discussion Haha honestly I can't think of anyone, Chester leaving Linkin Park is like Jon Bon Jovi leaving Bon Jovi, they wouldn't have the characteristic that makes them Linkin Park. Some bands base their sound on the frontman. If it was a band like Nightwish, it could easily be done as the band is based on the sound of their keyboardist, and it has been done twice already. Escape The Fate and Killswitch Engage also pulled it off quite successfully I might add. But noone would be able to replace Chester, he is one of a kind.

JZLP-NaughtyNottingham Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I doubt Mark would want to come back and be the replacement for the guy that replaced him. Mark & Mike are friends to the present day i think that Mark left the band, they didnt kicked his ass, or am i wrong? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, they put out a track under the moniker "White Pegacorn' a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I would no longer listen to anything by Linkin Park or Linkin Park related if Chester left the band. They would never do that anyways. So there is nothing to worry about. People here that think the band would get a new singer instead of Chester are very wrong. Mike, for one, would never do that. He has a great respect for Chester and the band has already recorded 5 main albums together, toured the entire world almost, and many other great accomplishments. If either Mike or Chester left, then the band would call it quits, I am 99.9% sure. That's not to say that the band members wouldn't create their own musical projects and stuff, but as far as Linkin Park music goes, it would be the end. Same as if Mike left.

Agreed, if Chester left, then Linkin Park would hire Mike Shinoda as the frontman and they would rename themselves... wait for it... Fort Minor....
