I don’t feel like it was much of an apology and more of a clarification.
Which he should have only had to clarify to people that didn’t understand.
He was entitled to feel that way and he wasn’t lying. Somehow I dont think he was in danger of losing his job as Korns guitarist over a facebook post.
You guys gotta remember Head went full-on born again Christian. He wrote a book about it. Suicide is not okay in the Bible.
Holy dam.
With so many people whining about depression and being diagnosed with it I am going to go out on a limb and say it seems like a cop out diagnosis. Oh you had to much milk in your cereal and you didn’t enjoy it… you sir are depressed. Here are some meds.
Everybody gets sad. When relationships end, when people die, when things don’t go your way. Seriously just suck it up butter cups. That isn’t depression. That’s just limp teenage behavior that you should have grown out of as you got older instead of stewing in all the non serious issues you have growing up. Of course to those with real issues and real depression, my bad.
And is everybody going to skip over the fact that the thread says lead singer. He was back up.
LP had some interesting stuff on their first album or two. Then they went to hell as they tried to chase sales and what was popular. They didn’t create a genre, they didn’t define a genre. They did what everybody was doing and moved onto other stuff. People shouldn’t forget about how bad their stuff got and just brush it off because the dude is dead.
He was a tosser, the whole band has said it. And when he was high he was even worse. I doubt he had real depression, he was just a stoner who had a bad trip and couldn’t handle it. And if he was diagnosed with depression he would have been on meds. Meds that would act horribly with drugs. So it was bound to happen. If he couldn’t be smart enough to read the instructions and side effect warnings that came with his meds then bad things will happen. He didn’t kill himself because he was depressed, he did it because he was high and wasn’t thinking straight.
On a serious note, weak people don’t commit suicide. Broken people commit suicide. And you have to have really big balls to be able to do it. You know what you have to face being alive. Nothing their to scare you. You don’t know what will happen to you when you die. That’s scary. You have to be brave as hell to roll the dice.
Now where is MY frappucino.
I dont think Chester or Mike were ‘leads’ in the group. Chester sang and screamed where was needed in the track and Mike provided backup vocals for Chester and was the MC. I always thought of them as equals when it came to vocal responsibilities in the group.
You are an idiot.
neh. Chester was pretty much the heart of LP. Chester had all the iconic parts of every song when both of them were doing the same amount of work on the track and most of their best songs are the ones where Chester is the most dominant one.
I don’t feel like suicide in these situations is okay, Christian context or not.
This is why stigmatizing mental illness should never happen at all.
Now where is MY frappucino.

Nope. Sorry you are so touchy about the subject. But people need to stop romanticizing depression and being sad. Yes it sells records. But its still a stupid image to portray, just so you can connect with teenagers.
A lot of people would, because as @Zatalcon said, he had the most iconic parts. But he did have the least amount of parts. Especially on the first two albums.
Suicide shmuicide. I feel no way about it, positive or negative. I feel it was his choice to make. I didn’t know him so I have no feelings about him being gone. The music is still there and at the end of the day I listen to a band for the music. Not because I give a dam about the members. He’s gone, the decent early stuff they produced isn’t. So whatev’s. The hard part about it all is him being labelled as the lead singer. I feel that has more impact on the band members he left behind. Such as Mike. The lead singer. He is going to have to come across as being sad about the situation, if its because he is sad then so be it, if it is because he has to fake it for the media, so be it. It doesn’t mater. What maters is that he is not going to be able to step up and say he was the front man. His legacy has been destroyed by Chester’s actions.
Religion is good at stigmatizing things.
Anybody else feeling themselves on being a low key bitch ass?
You have a problem with the modding, PM me. You feel you have a problem with the modding out loud, all you’re gonna get is a ban.
Things that you cannot get around when it comes to suicides, and it feels I’ve said this before, a person committing suicide in your family exponentially increases the chances of other family members doing it. Unfortunately this is something that Chester’s children will never get to really move on from.
@TKR nobody is whining about depression, there are various SRK members that have been diagnosed with it. I’m not even gonna bother correcting the rest of it because you don’t care so this is what’s going to happen:
- You won’t reply, react or anything to this post.
- You’re going to leave the thread alone.
- You’re going to find other things to enjoy…
You can ignore this if you feel like hanging out with locoghoul.
Wow people are in their feelings about this guy. People die all the time, let this man rest.
EDIT: Quote function is broken. Comment still remains though.

By people whining about depression I am talking about all these famous stars, teenagers whose friends don’t want to play with them anymore, the dude who just walked passed my window and bashed his head on the fire extinguisher hanging outside, and any other lame person who is a little bit sad and wants attention because they think the “broken and damaged” image is cool.
Many people are diagnosed with it because its easy to diagnose somebody with depression and simple to treat.
I have dealt with many depressed, truly depressed people. Trauma victims. People that have murdered other people and feel the guilt that comes along with it. Parents that have handicap children that have thought about abandoning kids on the side of the high way, because its easier. Sad people aren’t depressed people and they need to suck it up.
But that doesn’t change the fact that people are calling him the lead singer. Shitting on what Mike had achieved. How does he get to take the glory and leave behind nothing for Mike. Chester was a less active Daron Malakian.
One More Light official music video premiered today, the final music video with Chester.
