    Unlisted Grey Daze Shows / Notes

    in Side Projects

    Posted

    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 saw them and a bunch of other bands from the tour do an Ozzfest off-date and people seemed into it? They were fast on their way to becoming the next big thing at that point. I remember Chester and Dude Whose Body Hit The Floor from Drowning Pool came out and did a cover of "Walk" (of course) with Disturbed. Also, Mudvayne played and were still wearing make-up (aka still made good music).

     

    I asked him:

    Hey, can you, please, tell me what was that Off Fest show that you saw Chester and David joining Disturbed for the song? Thanks in advance.

     

    He replied:

    It was in Portland, ME. Pretty sure they did that for the whole Ozzfest tour, as I recall downloading a recording of it from another show off of Morpheus.

    Membah Morpheus?

     

    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!

     

    Recorded live on the Family Values Tour, fall of 2001.
    Recorded by Le Mobil
    Engineer: Guy Charbonneau

     

    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 will really like to help you but I can recall the details of the recording, I just remember to be recording multiple bands.

    I am sorry I can't help you.

    Regards
    Guy Charbonneau

     

    I then asked him if it's somehow possible to figure out the exact dates the tracks were recorded and he said:

    I wishes I can help you but I dis not keep any material of the music I record during the family Values 2001. I returned all the masters and info to my client.

    Regards
    Guy Charbonneau

    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.

    I still think the "Wonderful" thing is kind of strange because even after Chester joined Stone Temple Pilots as their lead singer the band talked about doing radio shows with him in the past.

     

    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:

    The song "Wonderful" by Stone Temple Pilots and Chester from the Family Values CD (released in 2002) is not a live track. It was completely recorded in the studio AFTER the Family Values tour and the crowd noise was added. It was confirmed by highly reliable source. I was hoping to get some more details on the subject, but no luck. During the interview with the Baltimore radiostation in 2002 Scott said that the track was recorded during a pre-show acoustic set for radio contest winners. There were at least 3 acoustic radio sets in between Family Values shows, but none of them featured Chester. Interesting that during the Sacramento show Scott said that "Linkin Park and STP are putting a song together and it should be out fairly soon". It certainly doesn't sound like he was talking about releasing a live recording at that point. Also, there are not many recordings to confirm this as solid fact, but it looks like Scott first started to sing "Aaaahhh-Ahhh" over the solo somewhere in 2002 and it kinda confirms the fact that they came up with this version long after the Family Values tour. They planned to release the track as the lead single from the FV 2001 CD with some kind of music video, but the plans were scrapped.

    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.

    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)

    I thought it said 404 not found

     

    And yeah Chesters performance on Edie was freaking awesome

     

    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.

     

    Correcton to the setlist: Sanctuary by Iron Maiden wasn't played, apparently it was mistaken for She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult, which was played at the show

    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.

     

    Did you guys listen to that Edie (Ciao Baby)? WOW

    Yep, I'm getting a kick out of Chester's version!
