Well, I read the title and the only thing popped up is Chester.
I always shrugged off celebrity deaths cuz it never affects me before. But that morning my then SO woke me up and I'm in dazed cuz teens me just full of angst lol and how he did it after just released One More Light is too much, I think I avoid listening to LP for a few years after that. It's also after Cornell did it not long before I think? AFAIK they're Godfathers to each other kids.
I think contrary to what generally believe LP lyrics all are Mike's. But understandable since Chester is the one actually sung it. don't think LP would be this big if they didn't have Chester, the band said so themselves (the label want to get rid of Chester at first but they pushed back).
I just wished Mike would just rename the band like Audioslaves did and leave LP as a legacy. Don't get me wrong Emily is badass.
While Mike was the larger contributor, Chester wrote some of the lyrics. Brad was and still is a contributor to the instrumentals as well.
