I'm gonna make my own version of this on CD that features from HT-MTM only.

Cool that Phoenix first met that guy at Wantagh 2014. I was at that show. I'll probably listen and check it out when I have time to devote to it.

Voted for UIG. LOATR was a close second. ALTNC, I didn't think it was THAT big. Maybe it was? I never heard it on mainstream radio back in 2013 or anything. It would be hard to make a greatest hits album under 80 mins so it could fit on a disc. There are so many hits from LP, unlike other bands. Lol. If you did a 2 CD thing, you could easily have the second CD start with New Divide and go all the way until One More Light, all the singles. Maybe a few live cuts of the singles on there even as bonus tracks. And the first CD could have from OSC to LOATR, with the same idea.

Until It's Gone was basically the biggest single from THP. GATS was the first single but it didn't do well and it didn't even get proper promotion, etc. Until It's Gone was promoted properly, it had a debut on Zane Lowe, had a proper music video, had a single CD release, etc. Final Masquerade had all of that as well, but Until It's Gone was bigger. I also wouldn't include ALTNC on a greatest hits release. I would probably do a similar tracklisting but choose some singles over others, etc. 01. One Step Closer 02. Papercut 03. Crawling 04. In The End 05. Somewhere I Belong 06. Faint 07. Breaking The Habit 08. Numb/Encore 09. What I've Done 10. Bleed It Out 11. Shadow Of The Day 12. Leave Out All The Rest 13. New Divide 14. The Catalyst 15. Waiting For The End 16. Burn It Down 17. Lost In The Echo 18. Castle Of Glass 19. Until It's Gone 20. Final Masquerade 21. Heavy 22. One More Light Fits under 80 mins. I chose Numb/Encore over Numb, like you, because Numb/Encore won a Grammy for the band and because it uses Numb. I left out some of the main singles because I felt like they weren't as massive as the ones I chose. I wanted to represent all the albums. I would have liked to add a heavier song from THP, but let's face it, it wasn't successful commercially, definitely not the heavier tracks. I chose One More Light to end it out because it's a perfect ending to me, and it did become a single in October.

I just got my package in the mail yesterday. I actually somewhat like the package, I'm obviously really bummed there isn't music, but still. The shirt is good. A nice fit for once, it isn't too tight. The design is also really cool. At first I didn't like how they basically just re-used the Hollywood Bowl art, but I like it now. Looks good. Love the little bat and moth icons. The fidget spinner is badass. Haha. The guitar pick is also cool, once again, love the little bat icon on it. I also got a OML pin, which is cool, I didn't have that one yet, I only had the set of 3 that came with the super deluxe of OML. Already own a larger version of the bridge poster but it's cool to have another smaller version. I actually still have the original larger bridge poster sealed so I'll keep that sealed. I like the water bottle the most, it's epic.

It's hard now. I mean I'll always love LP. If they continue as a 5 piece, I will support them, even if I don't love the music. But idk. It's hard now, it's different, it's not the same listening to them, because all I think about is what happened to Chester. Even new music will probably make me think of him.

I agree. Don’t even really listen to the band anymore. Kind of over it. I listen to some live stuff but that’s it, and that’s mostly just for nostalgia and good memories associated with the live shows. There’s an entire world of music out there, though. I’ve been listening to a lot of good music.

Thanks for all the work. Some sick info there. Particularly the Chester stuff, like that 2004 one, as well as all the others.

Not sure, I went to a few M&G's in 2007 and I have one from Syracuse, NY where he wrote ''Chaz'' and another from 2007 where he wrote his usual sig. Not sure about the infinity symbol. I might just do his regular sig, which was the first thing I ever got signed by him.

Does anyone have a photo of something that Chester signed in 2005? I am getting a tattoo soon of Chester's signature. I am probably going to use the one he signed on my Minutes to Midnight Super Deluxe in 2007. But I would love to get one of his signature form 2005. LP did a few shows in 2005, and he did other stuff in 2005, too. It's gotta be out there somewhere.

Thank you, and me too... still not getting any easier. However, my mix isn't really a ''best of'' Chester. Just his story through songs, at least to me. I will post what I think a new best of would be, a live version and a studio version later today. My old list wasn't that good and I've recently made them. Some people might not like them because I chose to only focus on LP. But I'll make one in the next week that has nothing by LP. Just Chaz stuff. It was too hard for me to combine everything he has done, because there is so much. EDIT: Here they are. This is my live compilation, I'll share the studio one after. Now, some people might ask, why isn't NCSM on there? That's because I prefer the studio version. Some songs, I prefer the studio version, or the live version for some, etc. So in order to get the full compilation from me, you have to look at both the live compilation and studio one. Best Of Chester - Live 01. One Step Closer (Live From Tel Aviv, 2010) - I've never heard a better performance of the song. It usually always sounds good, but the screaming in this performance is particularly amazing. Listen to the ''shut up'' part, as well as the outro. I was blown away when I heard this performance and it's always stuck with me. 02. Crawling (Live From Reading, 2003) - This is by far my favorite performance of the song. Chester sings it so good. And I love the crowd interaction that he has during this performance. Captures an early Linkin Park perfectly, IMO. 03. A Place For My Head (Live From Los Angeles, 2003) - Not the best quality, but still decent. Chester's screaming is amazing here. It's so good. Overall, a solid performance. I was going to choose Rock AM Ring 2004 but I think this one is a tad bit better. But you can swap either, really. 04. Pushing Me Away (Live From Summer Sonic, 2006) - They played this version of the song in 2007 and 2008, but the 2006 one was a little different, and much better, at least to me. Chester pours his heart into it and it sounds amazing. One of his best performances, ever. Completely blows away Let Down from 2005 or any performance he has done outside of Linkin Park in terms of vocals. This is a really great track. 05. Lying From You (Live In Texas) - I feel like this is by far the best performance of the song. Great mixing, and it's amazing how Chester can hit those notes. Such a solid performance. Captures that Meteora Tour energy and cranks it up to 100. 06. Faint (Live From Rock AM Ring, 2007) - Wow. This performance is incredible with that Godly outro. I think anyone would agree that this is the best version of the song in terms of vocals. I've seen so many people praise it, including myself. 07. Breaking The Habit (Live From Toronto, 2008) - A very special performance of the song. Mike and Chester performed the song as an all piano version, for the only time ever. Beautiful delivery, and almost haunting at the same time, especially now. Chester was top notch. I was at this show and it was just as beautiful as it sounds during the recording. Chester even mentioned this exact performance of the song during an interview in 2017. 08. Yesternumb (Live From The Grammy's, 2006) - Chester often said this was the greatest moment of his life, in many interviews. Winning a Grammy, and playing with Paul McCartney of The Beatles and Jay-Z isn't too bad, right? I love this performance and it's very important. Had to have it. 09. Qwerty (Live From Summer Sonic, 2006) - If you like Chester's screaming, this is the holy grail. I don't think I need to say too much about it because every fan on this site knows how epic this was. It's something out of this world, and absolutely deserves to be here. This is Chester in A+ form in terms of aggression and energy. 10. Given Up (Live From Montreal, 2008) - Chester completed the 18 second scream at this show, and it sounds the best out of all the shows he did it at, IMO. Solid performance of the song and something that he should be remembered for, being able to do that live, and go right back into the chorus. Wow. 11. Leave Out All The Rest (One More Light Live) - How could I not put this on my list? The epic 2017 version of the song, and in great quality, being on the recently released One More Light Live. So emotional and perfect. 12. Bleed It Out (Live From Mexico City, 2012) - I love this performance of the song. Flawless and has Sabotage. Huge energy. A staple at live shows, how could I not include it? 13. No More Sorrow (Live From Arendal, 2011) - A fan favorite, and a great live song. I couldn't not include it. I love this performance. Arendal 2011 was cited as one of the craziest, rowdiest crowds that the band ever played for. Mike and Chester even say it several times during the show. Solid performance here and great energy. The song always sounded good live, no matter what year, but I just like this one. 14. The Little Things Give You Away (Live From Atlanta, 2007) - One of Chester's most epic vocal performances of all time on this track, and the live version isn't too shabby!!! Sounds great, and a really emotional performance, with the speech, etc. Had to include this, and I think most fans would know why. 15. Blackout (Live From Madison Square Garden, 2011) - A crazy, high energy song, that isn't hard rock or metal. An awesome track. This is my favorite performance of the song for some reason. It just sounds great, whether it's the DSP mix or the Ethan Mates mix from the BITS single. The TV mix even sounds decent. Overall, a solid performance of the song, IMO. My favorite live song from ATS, Chester does great. 16. The Messenger (Live From Madrid, 2010) - I said earlier in a separate post that I liked the version from A Thousand Suns - Live Around the World, but that's just because it's an official release and it's easy for me to look up when I want to play it. Madrid 2010 was the best performance of the song, hands down. I don't really like the studio version of this song, but the live version is INCREDIBLE to me. Always loved it. And I think Madrid 2010's performance is perfect. 17. Lost In The Echo (Live From Summer Sonic, 2013) - The best performance of the song by far. Chester was in top form here. The singing and screaming is great. Huge energy, the band was on fire in 2013. Couldn't not include this, and also my favorite live performance of a song from Living Things. 18. A Line In The Sand (Live From BlizzCon, 2015) - Many people consider BlizzCon to be a shitty show. It kind of was. However, I feel like the performance of ALITS from the show is by far the best one. Listen for yourself. The intro sounded epic here, Chester was on point strangely, and it was just solid to me. It also had Brad, which the Rock on the Range show didn't. Sounds great to me, and HQ. 19. Talking To Myself (Live From Sopron, 2017) - I chose the pro-shot audio over the official release on One More Light Live here. I feel like it sounds better. But either could work. Chester nailed this performance of the song, and I've seen many people say they prefer the live version of this song. I do too. A+ performance. 20. One More Light (Live From Jimmy Kimmel, 2017) - Such a heartbreaking performance... You can tell that Chester was clearly disturbed by Chris Cornell's death the night before, and Mike even said that. However, the song sounded amazing here. Chester put his raw, emotional talent into this performance and it shows. That scream is amazing. I feel like it's a good way to end out the compilation.... RIP Chester. Best Of Chester - Non-LP Work 01. Let Down (Live From REact Now, 2005) 02. Give Me Your Name (Studio Version) 03. Walking In Circles (Studio Version) 04. In The Darkness (Studio Version) 05. Morning After (Live From Las Vegas, 2009) (LPU9 Exclusive Track) 06. Sex Type Thing 07. Dead & Bloated 08. Down 09. Plush 10. Creep 11. Morei Sky 12. The Down Syndrome 13. Soul Song 14. Commit (Live From Rally Kaps Sports Bar, 1994) 15. Forever (Live From Electric Ballroom, 1997) 16. 20 Eyes (B.O.W. Version) (Live From Tempe, 2006) 17. Slow Ya Roll (Studio Version) 18. System (Studio Version) 19. Whole Lotta Love (K.O.C. Version) (Live From Boston, 2016) 20. Riders On The Storm (Studio Version) Here are my reasons for the tracklisting. For the DBS tracks, all of those are very solid songs, IMO, and feature great vocals from Chester. Let Down from 2005 is one of the best performances he has ever done in his career. Give Me Your Name and In The Darkness feature some of his best singing ever recorded, a lot of people who aren't hardcore fans of Chester might not even know he can sing like that, especially on Give Me Your Name, which is a beautiful song. Morning After from Las Vegas is just simply amazing. I love how it sounds as an acoustic track and it's live, great quality, I think it's the best version, with the Julien-K 2005 remix coming close behind. Just don't love the studio version of Morning After that much. It's good but not as good as those, IMO. Walking In Circles is probably my favorite song of all time so I had to include that. I thought about maybe using a live recording but the studio version is flawless, the one thing Howard Benson didn't fuck up. Haha. So I had to go with it. So now the STP tracks. These were hard to pick because he had a lot of good performances with them. I chose not to add anything from High Rise because I personally don't think any of those 5 songs are really ''best of'' worthy. Sex Type Thing is an obvious choice, because he NAILS IT. Dead & Bloated, the same. All of the ones that I picked were just really good performances. He sounds badass on Down, I've always loved it. Creep is one of my favorite STP songs and one of my favorite songs of the '90's, so I had to include it, and Chester does a fantastic job on it. For the Grey Daze tracks, I chose my personal favorites. Morei Sky, The Down Syndrome and Soul Song all have amazing vocals, IMO, and showcase just how talented Chester was at a young age. Good lyrics, too, in all of those songs. I chose the live version of Commit because Chester EXPLODES on it, particularly towards the end of the song. Holy shit, he just goes crazy. People often say that he didn't start screaming until he joined Hybrid Theory, but this will prove them wrong. It's a good song, too, at least to me. Forever is a newly released song to us, but I fell in love with it upon first listen and have been playing it since. Beautiful vocals once again and a haunting melody. I like it. For the random stuff at the end, they are all epic tracks. Slow Ya Roll is a strange choice probably, but Chester sounds SO good on the outro, OMG. You need to listen to it now if you haven't in a while, because he does some really awesome stuff with his voice that I have not heard anywhere else. System is another great track that Chester was really proud of. Chester talked about it often even into 2017, he would mention the track from time to time. Chester sounds demonic on the track and it's awesome. Some good screaming and a Chester in his prime. I chose the live version of 20 Eyes from B.O.W. because I love it. Straight up punk rock. Mike loved it. Fuck it. Whole Lotta Love is perhaps my favorite live song that Chester has ever done. He kills it. I saw it live in Boston 2016 with Kings Of Chaos. It was unexpected and the first time that he played it with them, and the crowd went nuts, so didn't Chester. I rocked out harder than I ever have. It 100% deserves to be here and the quality is good. Riders On The Storm is a classic song that Chester nails. A good way to close it out.

So, I've been working on something. It's a 21 song mix, just under 80 minutes, so it fits on a CD. What I did was basically tell Chester's life through songs from various things he has done. I know it sound a little creepy, but trust me, I did this as a tribute to my hero, and I don't care if people think it's creepy. I listen to it and like it, but I wanted to share it, and why I chose the tracks that I did. ---Chester's early life--- 01. Crawling (Studio Version) 02. Easier To Run (Studio Version) 03. Halfway Right (Studio Version) I chose these particular tracks because they really talk about things that Chester went through in his earlier years of life. I hate to talk about it, but the sexual abuse, the pain from that, and wanting to just ''escape'' as he has said. Crawling talks about the fear and pain, while Easier To Run talks about numbing the pain so he didn't have to feel, which is about himself abusing drugs and alcohol to numb the pain and escape, as he has said he did in his teen years. Halfway Right is a bit more light hearted, but not by much. In the verses, Chester talks about a young version of himself, most likely his teens. I could have put it later on, but I like it here, because it gives us a sense of his younger self, even though it's almost a looking back on himself lyrical approach. ---Marrying Samantha and the early years of Linkin Park--- 04. Forever (Live & Unreleased 1997) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8JBR2bu_dA 05. Breaking The Habit (Studio Version) I chose both of these here because I really feel like Forever was written about his love for Samantha at the time. He had just married her, his first wife, his first love, and it was performed a year or so after they got married. The lyrics are weird for Chester, but it deals with love, it's almost darkly romantic. And I feel like it fits here. I know it may not even be about that at all, but to me, it is. Breaking The Habit, I put here, because it deals with Chester trying to overcome his addictions in the early years of Linkin Park, something we know he tried and struggled with during those earlier years (2000-2004). Mike wrote the song and Chester broke down crying in the studio to record it in 2002. And 2003 and 2004 saw many hard times for Chester with his addiction, and many good performances of BTH. But it's almost positive in a slight way, because it's dealing with him want to overcome his addiction and be something better. ---His divorced from Samantha and meeting Talinda--- 06. Let Down (Live 2005) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Qffb2xhNc 07. TINFOIL/POWERLESS (Studio Version) 08. Given Up (Studio Version) 09. Talking To Myself (Studio Version) 10. In Pieces (Studio Version) 11. Give Me Your Name (Studio Version) 12. What I've Done (Studio Version) Perhaps the most important part of my tracklisting. Let Down perfectly captures the divorce from Samantha, and the pain and heartbreak from that. It's easily one of his most emotional and heartbreaking performances ever, and this REact Now 2005 version is MUCH better than the studio version, or any other version. It's amazing and captures the emotion so much. I put TINFOIL/POWERLESS after it because I feel like it's also talking about his relationship with Samantha ending. I know it may not be about that, but remember, this is my story in a way. I've always thought it was talking about it, though. Basically dealing with the same thing as Let Down in a way, and we know that she divorced him, so it ties in even more. I put TINFOIL before it because it just goes better with it. Given Up, we know Chester struggled with alcohol and drugs HARDCORE in 2005 and 2006. He also went through very hard times, threatening suicide in 2006, etc. He almost drank himself to death in 2005, etc. Chester said that this song was about that time and how he felt. So there you go. And it also was originally called 21 Stitches, referring to the night in 2006 that is talked about during the BOW show. Talking To Myself, according to Chester, was about how Talinda must have felt watching all of this go down during this timeframe. So it fits perfectly here. In Pieces is Chester coming to terms with the fact that his marriage with Samantha is over and finally time to put that time behind him. He has said the song is directly about her and his divorce from her, so again, fits here. Give Me Your Name is next. Chester married Talinda and he wrote this song for the wedding. So it's about meeting her, marrying her, falling in love with her, and marrying her. Fits perfect once again, and a beautiful performance from Chester, one of his best of all time. What I've Done finally ends this chapter because it's about Chester putting his demons and past behind him, overcoming it all, to rise above and come out new. Fits perfectly here, he is now married to Talinda, his divorced with Samantha is over, Linkin Park made a new album, things are finally going good, he got sober, etc. ---Years after marrying Talinda--- 13. The Messenger (Live From Las Vegas, 2011) 14. Tomorrow (Studio Version) 15. Sharp Edges (Studio Version) Even though there are only a few tracks here, they are very important. The Messenger was written about his children, and leaving them a message for when they grow older. He had kids during these years, so it fits well. I also vastly prefer the live version of this song, and I like the one from ATS Live Around the World, so fuck it. Tomorrow is a deep cut from High Rise, and it fits well into the story. It's clearly about missing his wife and family while he is out touring the world. So it fits once again. Sharp Edges, is Chester reflecting on his life, and applying that to being a Dad in some ways, as he said, you teach your kids things like don't touch a hot stove, etc. He was dealing with fatherhood and he was looking at how he was a kid, etc. Once again, fits. I'm aware that I use songs from all different eras at different times, I didn't think of that, I just did it to tell the story, and I think it's perfect. ---Chester's final years--- 16. Heavy (Live Piano Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EaV20u7qbA 17. Primo (I'LL BE GONE Demo) 18. Nobody Can Save Me (Studio Version) 19. Leave Out All The Rest (Studio Version) 20. One More Light (Studio Version) Chester said Heavy was about battling his depression and demons during his final years. Chester started feeling really depressed once more in 2015, according to him, he said all his relationships with everyone were failing, he started drinking again, and he hated life, and he always found himself repeating bad behaviors, which is where the lyrics for Heavy came from. So it kicks off his final years. I chose this version because it's so raw and emotional and perfect. I put Primo next, even though it's a raw demo, the chorus is too good. I think Chester was maybe thinking about the end. And it's really sad and just fits, IMO. You could even apply it to him leaving a message to his bandmates. Who knows, but it's sad and needed to be here. I also think the lyric of ''Tell them I couldn't help myself, and tell them I was alone'' is REALLY dark and very fitting with his final years. Nobody Can Save Me is Chester coming to terms with himself and how things are going to end. I know that's very fucking dark and grim, but it's what I always got from the song. I know a lot of people say it's an optimistic song, but I don't think it is. I thought it was very dark when I first heard it and I still do. It's Chester knowing how it will all end. And the fact that he tried committing suicide in November 2016, many months before he actually did commit suicide, is harrowing. That's why I put the song here. To close it out, I put Leave Out All The Rest and One More Light. Leave Out All the Rest is Chester basically saying goodbye and that he is sorry to his family and friends. It's a final goodbye. Really sad. And even though it was written in 2006/2007, I feel like it REALLY fits with the end of his life. One More Light closes it, and I think we know why. Perfect ending to me, it's not as dark as the two songs before it, but it's still the final goodbye. What do you think?

It is really interesting. They did that one off show in 2011 for Stars of the Season, late 2011. That 2012 show would have been badass. And the 2017 pop-up shows.... wow. Would have been so epic. I always thought that DBS wasn't done, but it definitely seemed ''done'' at times. I remember an interview in 2012 where Ryan said he was talking with Chester recently about DBS and he said they wanted to make another record, and this time around, make it more like how Out Of Ashes was supposed to be, raw and stripped down and emotional, etc. I'll have to look for the interview, it was on YouTube at one point, it was a Julien-K interview from 2012. Linkin Park, STP, his kids, all of that got in the way of a new DBS album, I think. But it's very understandable, especially the kids thing. LP hasn't stopped since 2006, the only real break for the band was in 2005, and even then, they played their biggest show of their career (Live 8) and another show. 2016 I suppose was somewhat of a break too, but it really wasn't, they were working on a new album the entire year, like 2006 (at least 2006 had the Japanese tour). STP also came in early 2013, and took up his time when he wasn't with Linkin Park up until late 2015. I'm sure Chester talked to the Grey Daze guys in 2016, a well as the DBS guys in 2016, and that's why he was gonna do those shows in 2017 with both of those bands. He also did Kings Of Chaos and shit in 2016 too, as well as The Hellcat Saints. He really kept busy. So I think a lack of time is why we never saw more DBS music. He definitely went through a dark period in 2015-2017 so he could have had some DBS style lyrics and songs. Remember in May of 2017, right after OML came out, Chester said he wrote 5 new songs by himself?

Me too. SSMF 2013, all the Carnivores shows that I went to (Mansfield, Holmdel, Wantagh & Darien Center). Plus just all shows from 2013-2017.

Damn....really sucks.... Such a bummer. The DSP's were probably one of my favorite things the band ever did. And 2013-2017 had SO many sick shows. I'd take those over any unreleased demos any day. Truly sucks. I always had hope that someday we would get them. Doesn't seem like it now, didn't know about that quote from Mike. The new live album made me really want them again, especially the 2013-2015 ones. Maybe someday, like you said, but I'm not too hopeful.

Being someone who only listens to live in todays age sucks. Well, sucked since end of 2012.

I know LPL and others have tried to get DSP's released ever since they stopped doing them after South Africa 2012, but now that Chester is gone, do you think it's more of a possibility? I think a lot of fans would love to have them now, especially people who went to shows from after South Africa in 2012 all the way up until Birmingham 2017. We know the band kept recording them all. At least definitely the ones from late 2012 to the end of 2015 since Pooch was still with the band until that time. But I assume they still recorded them in 2017, too. Maybe we can start a petition? I really miss the DSP's a lot. I hated when they stopped them.

I agree. I like Jacoby a lot. Seems like a really good and genuine guy. I've liked Papa Roach's music since like 2003, I like everything from Infest to Crooked Teeth. That would be badass if you got a M&G for Papa Roach. But yeah, you're right about the fact that both Jacoby and Chester have battled demons. He seemed pretty messed up about Chester dying. A lot of those old bands they toured with during the Hybrid Theory and Meteora tours seemed really crushed by it. Bert from The Used said recently that Chester literally saved his life in 2004 (the same year they were on PR04). Then you have bands like Disturbed, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Metallica, P.O.D. and more. Pretty much all the bands they toured with from like 2000-2004 showed a lot of emotion about Chester. Just goes to show the impact the band has made on the world.

Wow, that Papa Roach album was SOOOO good. I love Help. Overall a really solid album.

Beautiful post. And I also agree in some ways. While I don't love stuff after Minutes to Midnight, the first three Linkin Park albums, or 1997-2008 for example, have shaped my childhood and teenage years. They were the absolute soundtrack to all of those years, all those huge moments in my life, like getting my first girlfriend, graduating high school, surviving high school, my parents divorce and dealing with that, feeling like a misfit throughout my teen years, everything. I'll be forever grateful to the band for those years and moments, and luckily Chester was the lead singer during all of that time. He inspired me in ways I can't begin to list. But not only him, even though he was my favorite. The ENTIRE band did. I've been listening to a lot of other music, too, a lot of stuff from those years that I missed and what not, actually, from other bands and artists. But bottom line, I think you bring up a GREAT point. Many peoples lives were shaped by the band. I'd say all of us on LPL and beyond. You know? It wasn't just some band to us. It was the soundtrack of our lives, no matter what era of the band we started listening.

Good photo, at least it's one of the good LP albums (first three).

Looks really badass. Done perfectly, IMO.

My bad, I re-read your post. So you had a good year for the first half, and then the second half, with Chester's death, sucked. I get it now. I know you've been taking it hard, like me and others. I guess all we can do is hope 2018 is better. I think it will be. It will still be hard, since Chester's death is still kind of fresh, but I hope it gets a little better.

Sorry, I had originally posted the same photo you had, I didn't realize it was the same. That's why I sent you that PM. I edited my post though after I realized. I think that is the best you will probably find for it. I got the 2014 THP era logo tattooed in 2015 and I had an even lower res image and it came out fine.

I think that one you have that is blown up should work fine!!!
