LESTAT

Came across this photo: Contacted the photographer to ask if it's Chester joining Adema on stage during their set or Marky joining Linkin Park ("One Step Closer"), but, unfortunately, she doesn't remember.

A gentleman named Andy Rodriguez, who I believe is a member of our forums, is going to release the first edition of his YouTube series called "Epitafios" on his channel sometime in coming months. The first episode is dedicated to Grey Daze. He created it using my "Grey Daze Story" and was also able to conduct a video interview with Mace Beyers. Here's a screenshot from the yet to be fully finished episode: Good luck!

Someone posted about seeing Chester and David Williams of Drowning Pool joining Disturbed for Pantera's "Walk" during an OFFEST date here: http://disq.us/p/1a90noo I asked him: He replied: So, a new show for Chester's section: 2001.08.06 Portland, ME, Cumberland County Civic Center, Offest / Big Day Off xx. Walk (Pantera cover; w/ Chester Bennington & David Williams)

Thanks a lot! I actually asked Guy Charbonneau about the song via email back in 2012. I directly asked him if he's able to either confirm or deny the rumor. His reply was: I then asked him if it's somehow possible to figure out the exact dates the tracks were recorded and he said:

http://www.belowempty.com/discography.php?do=showrelease&type=promos&id=53 I'm still scratching my head as to why Chester's name isn't mentioned anywhere on the cover or insert. I was thinking maybe it's the recording before Chester's vocals were added to the mix, but I was told it's actually the same version with Chester as the one that on the final CD. Can't be totally sure until I'll hear the actual promo CD, of course. I'm not aware of any post-Family Values pre-show acoustic shows. Yes, it's that show. It comes from a show review. I'll try to find it, I think I saved the link somewhere.

Imho, the way they were talking about it seem nothing else than them repeating the old explanation, because they had probably thought that Chester joining the band will somehow bring up that question again among fans (it did not, however). And there are also other, less obvious, reasons for me to question their story. I'll just quote myself from several years ago:

Similar to my "Unlisted Grey Daze Shows / Notes" and "Unlisted Linkin Park Shows / Notes" threads, here's the thread to collect info on Chester's guest appearances that are not in the guide either because there's not enough information on a date/place or it's unclear if a specific appearance has actually happened: Things we need to look into: Chester possibly joining Staind to perform "Outside" during one of the first few shows of Family Values 2001 ShoutWeb's news post from October 17, 2001 reported: "The first few dates of the Family Values Tour 2001 has featured several on stage collaborations. Stone Temple Pilots have welcomed special guests Filter and Kid Rock on stage to sing, Wayne Static has added his vocal talents to Staind's set for "Crawl" and Chester from Linkin Park has been singing with Staind on "Outside"". To this day, it's the only mention of Chester joining Staind for the song to ever be spotted by us, so the exact show is unknown. Chester possibly joining Adema to perform "Giving In" during Projekt Revolution 2002 Chester joining Adema for "Giving In" during Projekt Revolution 2002 has been regarded as common knowledge around that time and was mentioned in a lot of "Fake Linkin Park Songs" type of threads/pages, because his appearance has sparked the rumor that he is also featured on the album version, but I never saw any other confirmations or info on the exact date. Chester possibly joining hed (pe) to perform "Bartender" on multiple unknown occasions Linkin Park and (hed) pe did three tours together and we have a show with Chester joining them to sing the song during each one of them and every show is in the middle of a tour, so there were likely much more. Chester possibly joining Disturbed to perform "Walk" on multiple unknown occasions during Ozzfest/OFFEST 2001 There's an mp3 of Disturbed performing this song with Chester during the show in Wantagh, but it's likely wasn't the only time Chester joined them during that not-so-well documented tour. Chester possibly joining Deftones to perform "My Own Summer" on several unknown occasions There are two known instances of Chester performing the song with Deftones in 2003 both of which were first discovered in 2014, so there were probably at least a few more. Chester possibly performing "20 Eyes" with Camp Freddy Chester talking about "20 Eyes" for The Aquarian: "I actually started playing that song when I was in a cover band called Bucket of Weenies for a little while. I play it with Bucket of Weenies and Camp Freddy sometimes, it’s just fun to go play with a bunch of guys and play cover songs". Chances are it's a mistake, since Chester's appearances with Camp Freddy over the years are rather well-documented and we've never heard of Chester performing the song with the band, but we can't be 100% sure. Chester performing "Attitude" with Alien Ant Farm During Alien Ant Farm's 2017 summer tour, the band's singer Dryden Mitchell usually dedicated their song "Attitude" to Chester saying that he joined the band in the past to do the song at least once. Link: http://lplive.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12501&do=findComment&comment=280252 Things we don't have to look into anymore: Chester performing "Wonderful" with Stone Temple Pilots during Family Values 2001 Despite the track being released on a live compilation and both Scott Weiland and Dean Deleo saying it was recorded during a pre-show acoustic performance for radio contest winners, it was confirmed by a reliable source the track is actually a studio recording with added crowd noise. Added shows (from this thread): - 2001.04.27 Miami, FL, Bayfront Park Amphitheatre, Zeta's Bonzai Show (Guesting for Hed Pe) - 2001.08.06 Portland, ME, Cumberland County Civic Center (Guesting for Disturbed) - 2001.09.27 West Hollywood, CA, Whisky a Go Go (Guesting for Hed Pe)

It's a direct link to an Instagram video. Works for me signed in or not on every browser. Oh, well. Added other links as well.

Updated the main post to include info on the band backing Chester and Awkwafina.

Works fine for me. Try again. I just changed the protocol from "https" to "http". Works for me either way, but maybe it causes problems for others. Other videos: https://www.instagram.com/p/BO_02uHjcFv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BO_y9y9B9Zl/ These are https as well. Does they work? Also, the girl singing with Chester is Awkwafina.

Update 09.01.2017: Thanks to a representative of "The Comedy Jam", The Comedy Jam Band backing Chester and Awkwafina for this performance were: Jay Golden - 7-String Electric Violin Nick Liberatore - Drums Joel Rutkowski - Bass Randy Emata - Keyboards Nick Quijano - Guitar Keep your eye on Comedy Central around late March for a televised proshot recording of this performance. Original post 07.01.2017: A few hours ago, Chester Bennington has made a surprise appearance during the taping for the upcoming Comedy Central series called "The Comedy Jam" in The Fonda Theater to perform "In The End" with a group of yet-to-be identified comedians and musicians. Short videos filmed from the audience: Watch | Watch | Watch As CPlusComedy.com reported on December 20th: "Fans of The Goddamn Comedy Jam special that aired a few months ago on Comedy Central will surely like the subsequent series. The Comedy Jam (renamed for obvious reasons) will bring the live music/comedy show hybrid to the network for eight episodes Comedy Central said in a release. The special and show feature comedians telling personal stories and then having a song that relates to said story played and sang with a live band. Plus, you can be a part of the audience at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. Tickets for the performances (January 7, 8, 11, or 12) can be found here. The Comedy Jam is set to air in late March. Below is the awesome lineup. Plus, more will be announced in the coming months. January 7 Awkwafina Jesse Tyler Ferguson Bobby Lee Hasan Minhaj Mary Lynn Rajskub Roy Wood Jr." The show's description from 1iota.com reads: "This live TV taping will feature music-loving comedians and actors living out their fantasy of being a rockstar for a night. Don't miss your chance to check them out onstage at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood. Limited free seats available for this 4 night intimate, musical and comedic experience".

Looks like Gray Daze/Grey Daze were opening for Lemon Krayola that night. Also, my article dedicated to Sean Dowdell And His Friends coming soon.

Videos from Montclair show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLe7efD6-rctGw0LpzXDNJg/videos Corey is no longer on tour, so Chester now also performs "Sex Type Thing" and "Love Removal Machine". He also joined Robin Zander for "Dream Police".

Updated the pages for all three shows so far. The rest of the shows should be listed as "East Coast Tour".

Same set during Night 2: Night 3 is happening right now. EDIT: Robert Deleo dedicated "Interstate Love Song" to Scott Weiland who has passed away exactly a year ago: https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t50.2886-16/15329619_211452182597122_5852183022891171840_n.mp4 EDIT: Same set for Night 3

Updated the page for the first show (AndOne added the pics): http://lplive.net/shows/db/kingsofchaos/20161201 Let me know if anyone has any corrections.

It worked for me from the beginning, not sure what was up with that. I actually wish the original song would have sounded more like that. I definitely enjoy Chester's take more.

Thanks, but it was already posted a few posts above yours. Yes, I guess Mark took that setlist from this picture posted on Instagram, hence the mistake: Also, notice it doesn't have Corey listed on "Interstate Love Song", so his participation was likely improvised on the spot. Yep, I'm getting a kick out of Chester's version!
