When did Chester Bennington join linkin park?

Answer 1

There may be multiple reasons why, but that doesn't make it any less depressing. Even though he was and will always be one of the greatest vocalists of all time, Chester had a very disheartening childhood and struggled with drugs and alcohol as a teenager. I listened to Linkin Park 3 times today (that is, 3 of their songs- "From the Inside", "Breaking the Habit", and "Faint"), and unfortunately, you could tell by Chester's lyrics that he wanted to fit in the world as a person and not only as an entertainer. Plus, his parents divorced when he was young and he suffered from really awful abuse that I can't even comprehend. I believe that deep down, Chester was a good guy with a good heart, but sadly in a lot of ways he couldn't make it in life feeling like an outsider.

1999, at that time they switched the name from Xero to Hybrid Theory.
