Rasputin 93 Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) "Linkin Park's Chester Bennington and Phoenix, as well as members of the Stone Temple Pilots band performed at a June 28, 2013, ribbon cutting at Primary Children's Medical Center. Three years ago Friday, 17-year-old Sophie Barton died of a heart attack while hiking with friends in Summit County. She was a talented singer who often performed for patients at Primary Children’s Medical Center. A musical therapy room, named in honor of Sophie, opened on Friday. It’s the first of its kind in any children’s hospital in the country. Steve Young and wife Barbara, who raised funds for the room, and musician Chester Bennington, from the Stone Temple Pilots and Linkin Park, were among the celebrities at the opening. Sophie’s family are close friends with Steve and Barbara Young, and together they came up with a plan to honor Sophie’s memory and help heal sick kids. Through their Forever Young Foundation, Steve and Barbara met Chester Bennington, singer for the rock bands Linkin Park and Stone Temple Pilots. When they asked Bennington to be part of the opening of Sophie’s Place, he and the Stone Temple Pilots jumped at the chance. “To see it happen today and the opening of the first Sophie’s Place is really an honor and a privilege to be a part of,” Bennington said. “So thanks for having us and we’re going to play some music.”" Chester and Phoenix performed 'The Messenger' and Stone Temple Pilots (with Chester) performed 'Pretty Penny' and 'Big Empty'. Alternate video of 'The Messenger'. Interviews about the event and snippets of 'Pretty Penny and 'Big Empty' by Stone Temple Pilots can be seen here.

Skipees Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 sounds little different from the last times right? Quote
SergSlim Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 There's another snippet of a song by STP: http://fox13now.com/2013/06/28/music-thera...medical-center/ OK, it is Pretty Penny and Big Empty by STP Quote
dark_master Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) sounds little different from the last times right?Yeah, Dave uses a slightly different strumming pattern. And when Brad and Chester play this song, they mute the first (highest) string, while Dave doesn't. Edited June 29, 2013 by dark_master Quote
Jgrosk Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 I wish there were full videos of the STP songs too, Chester sounded great in those clips. Quote
hahninator Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 Wow really interesting how the media in this story portrayed Chester as being from "Stone Temple Pilots and also Linkin Park". Even the description under his name when he first appears in that video. "Chester and his band STP jumped at the chance." What about LP jumping at the chance? lol Quote
Astat Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 How many different versions of this song are they going to do? Quote
RogueSoul Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 How many different versions of this song are they going to do? BOURDON VERSION Quote

wiiesel Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 They only made The Messenger to have something to play on such occasions. ^^ Quote
SergSlim Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 They only made The Messenger to have something to play on such occasions. ^^ I suppose they could've easily played My December that way too. Quote
Skipees Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I suppose they could've easily played My December that way too.My December lyrics are for who sing it, The Messenger is for who listen to it. sometimes it's matter. are you really want sing to those kids: "give it all away"?

You are right, but he also performed "Big Empty". Definitely not the best song for this event.Well, at least it wasn't "Sex Type Thing". lol. That would be priceless. Quote

hahninator Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 It would definitely be interesting if they played Wonderful sometime. Maybe when they tour they'll do it. I expect there to be some sort of USA tour in September or October. In regards to The Messenger, I like the Phoenix version more than when Chester plays it. So Brad, Phoenix, Chester for me in terms of how it sounds. But when I heard Chester play it in person in 2011 in Sunrise, it sounded almost exactly how Brad plays it. I guess it changes. Quote
UpRoadLeft Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Is that me or they both look old ? I mean, they might not be 20 anymore but they have a lot of grey hair (especially Phoenix) and Chester's hairstyle isn't really beautiful in my opinion What do you think ? Quote

Chester plays it almost identical to Brad, I think Brad just plays it a little slower. Quote

LPngdf Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Dave's version is my favorite now. Agree Sounds so much better than Brads Quote
Skipees Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) Pretty Penny: thanks. but i'm wondering about the delay with the upload, this is the same guy who uploaded in 28.06 second video. Edited July 1, 2013 by Skipees Quote
