I just wanted to put out there the Chester Bennington I got to know for a few hours one night, just a few months ago. 想要跟大家分享我幾個月前見到Chester的幾個小時 About 20 minutes before Twenty One Pilots was due to take the stage, the people sitting next to my seat came into our aisle. The guy next to me looked like Chester to me, but I wasn't sure. I've been a huge, longtime fan, but I don't follow too many artists on social media or watch interviews. I just like to listen and go to shows when possible. So, I wasn't sure if it was him. This guy was dressed casually, but trendy. He knew the people around us, and he was talking to the kids the most, high fiving them and pumping them up for the show. He also handed out new stickers for his band to these people. 在TOP要登台前的20分鐘，坐在我旁邊的人來了看起來很像Chester 但我不太確定，雖然我是他們長期的粉絲但我不太追蹤藝人動態和看訪問我只聽音樂或有機會時去看演唱會，這個人穿的很隨性但很有型他認識我附近的一些人還有和旁邊的小孩們說話和擊掌，還有發了很多貼紙 This guy seemed nice, and since I thought it may be this person I looked up to for so long, I complimented his hat. He thanked me, and we talked fashion and living in LA. One of the first things out of his mouth was praise about his "beautiful wife." He would bring her up a few times over the course of our conversations, as well as his children. 他看起來人很好，我覺得他就使我一直很仰慕的那個人，我稱讚了他的帽子他向我道謝然後我們聊了時尚和在洛杉磯的生活，第一件他說的事情就是稱讚他美麗的老婆，他在對話中常提到她和他的小孩 I asked what the stickers he was passing out was, saying that I love stickers, as I had a KROQ sticker I jokingly put on my arm on my way in. He said "I'm in a band called Linkin Park," and said how they had new stuff coming out soon and these were new stickers for promotion. I think it's important to have those words in quotes, though, because at no point did he give any indication that he was Chester Bennington, the singer of Linkin Park, amongst other things. This was about him being a part of Linkin Park, the band. It really gives an insight as to what being a part of it meant for him. He talked about how they have a different sound on this record, and how excited he was about it. I can't stress enough how excited he was about the new music. He described it with such passion, talking about all of the cool sounds and collaborations, but still the deep and heartfelt lyrics that make Linkin Park's music what it is. He said how the new record would surprise people, but in a good way. He told me about Heavy coming out the next day, and how excited he was for that song. He was just so excited about the new album and his future. He was so happy, energetic, and full of life. 我問他剛剛發的貼紙是什麼，還跟他說我很喜歡貼紙還在進場貼了KROQ的貼紙在手上，他說他在一個叫Linkin Park的樂團裡有新歌要發行了然後貼紙是宣傳用的而在之前他完全沒提到他就是Chester Bennington是LP的主唱他只是提到他是Linkin Park的團員，這可看出對他來說是LP的一份子對他的意義他講到他們新專輯會有很不一樣的音樂，還有他對此有多興奮我無法用文字敘述他有多興奮，因為他描述時充滿著這麼多的熱愛說到有這麼多酷斃了的音樂和新的合作，但歌曲仍有最代表LP標誌深沈且直入人心的歌詞他說新專輯一定會讓大家很驚喜，而且是好的那一方向的他說第二天Heavy就要發行了，他有多為這首歌感到興奮他對新專輯和他的未來充滿了激昂的心情他很開心重滿活力和生命 At this point, the people behind me asked him for a picture, as well as someone a few people in front of me. He was so kind to everyone, taking pictures, shaking hands, giving out stickers, and giving high fives. He came to this show with people, yet he talked to all of us all night. 這時有人想要跟他合照，他對所有人都超和善的跟大家拍照握手擊掌發給大家貼紙，他是和其他朋友一起來看表演卻一直跟我們其他人聊天 During the concert, Chester was more into it than many of the fans I saw on the floor. I'm a huge Twenty One Pilots fan, and I'm very energetic during concerts, and Chester was right there with me, which is not what I expected from any neighbor in seats. He was dancing, singing, and rapping to every song. He rapped and sang with all of us, turning around to rap to Ride with the guys behind us who asked him for a picture, high fiving them after doing so. At one point, during the song Lane Boy, Tyler Joseph asked everyone to get low. Most of the people in the pit did it and people in the seats either stayed standing or seated, but my friend and I got low. I turned to my right and saw Chester also down low, and he reached over to give me a high five. That moment above all others stands out to me the most. 在演唱會中他比其他在搖滾區的歌迷還投入，我是ＴＯＰ的大粉絲而Chester跟我一樣激動，我沒想到看台區的鄰座會是這樣的他每首歌都跟著邊唱邊跳邊rap，還邊跳邊唱跟人合照在Lane Boy這首歌時台上要求大家蹲下來，搖滾區的人都照做了但看台區的人大部分都站著或坐著，我也照做了當我看向右邊發現Chester也蹲在地上還跟我擊掌，這是幾個我印象很深的時刻 He left the show and gave everyone high fives on his way out. It was my first Twenty One Pilots show in seats, and I didn't think it would be as fun as the past few times I had been in the pit, but it will forever live as my favorite Twenty One Pilots show because I got to spend it with one of my biggest heroes and inspirations, and because of how great and fun he was. The Chester I got to know that night was friendly, fun, energetic, happy, and excited for his future, and Linkin Park's future. I don't think I'll ever meet someone so kind at another show. 他結束離開時還一路跟所有人擊掌，這是我第一次在看台上看TOP的演出但比在搖滾區還有去而這也會永遠是我最喜歡的一場TOP演唱會因為我有機會跟我最大的英雄和靈感來源一起參加而他是這麼有趣人這麼好當天晚上我見到的人友善有趣充滿活力開心對自己和LP的未來充滿憧憬我認為我再也不會在其他演唱會碰到像他這麼友善的人了 I didn't mention this before, because I didn't mention it to him, but Linkin Park's music got me through some things I don't know if I would have handled as well without those songs. There are some songs I haven't been able to listen to since hard parts of my life, and songs that would instantly bring me to tears. I didn't tell him because I didn't want to word vomit, and I didn't want to ruin the time we were having. After seeing how he treated other fans, I know I could have and should have told him just how much his music meant to me. I'm really grateful I had this experience with him since his music meant so much to me, as it does to so many others. I never got to see them, having had tickets to the cancelled tour, and tickets to the first date of tour next week, so having this memory means so much. 我沒告訴他LP的音樂曾幫助我度過人生黑暗的日子，有些歌在那段日子之後我就再沒聽過，因為一聽就要流淚了，我沒告訴他因為我不想這毀了我們這段時光但在看了他對待其他的歌迷，我應該要告訴他他的音樂對我的意義我很慶幸居然有機會跟他一起參加這團演唱會因為他的音樂對我代表了太多我從沒有機會去過他們的演唱會，本來都買了今年巡迴的票 I wanted people to get to see the Chester I saw, because he was amazing. A caring husband and father, with a larger than life personality who treated fans like friends, and who was so full of excitement for his future. 我想要讓人們知道，我見到的Chester是多麼出色的人，是個好丈夫好爸爸對待他的粉絲就像朋友一樣，而且對未來充滿了憧憬 Proof: I posted screenshots on my instagram of our twitter interactions and the stickers he gave me: https://www.instagram.com/p/BWx06HtlD3-/?taken-by=eh.rica The actual twitter interaction is here: https://twitter.com/airwrecca/status/832795618791690240 Screenshot from Chester's instagram story that I'm in: https://twitter.com/airwrecca/status/888757539072090112 還是難以接受和相信他已經離開了Q Q -- In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. In a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. ~~~~By Michael Jackson -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.254.112.110 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/LinkinPark/M.1500795079.A.7CB.html
