jennifercoon darknessovrme (16:40): Hi Chester, thanks for chatting with us. Is the new LP album going to be centered around a graphic novel or some other sort of story?
chesterbennington (16:40): jennifercoon- don't know but that's a good idea
chesterbennington (16:40): not sure though
junko1014 Midler0506 (16:41): Hey Chester, when you're stuck on something at the studio, how do you usually get over it? Playing ping pong!?
kaji5785 (16:41): When is there going to be a women's line for VeCel and will there ever be a Club Tattoo in Texas, I want my first tat to be from there, thanks!
chesterbennington (16:41): jenjen- emotionally -when we wrote it it was breaking the habit, it was hard to sing but i got over it, physically- given up and crawling
Kenoa chesterbennington (16:41): Chester, in the music making, what can you say it is the biggest challenge to you? Wishes of all of the luck from Portugal.
chesterbennington (16:41): i think those ones are more obvious
chesterbennington (16:42): junko- ping pong is a good idea- usually when i find myself stuck i just stop and rewrite the part instead of chasing it so hard. if something's not working i usually drop it and move on to something new.
chesterbennington (16:42): Kenoa- writing lyrics is probably the biggest challenge
LPrex DarthYak (16:43): If say you make music that sounds really good to you but turns out its not what the fans are looking for, then what direction do you take?
chesterbennington (16:43): that's the hardest part. you can have a good melody and not know what to say. that sucks.
LPrex LeslieluvzLP (16:43): If say you make music that sounds really good to you but turns out its not what the fans are looking for, then what direction do you take?
chesterbennington (16:44): LPrex- we're generally not thinking about what fans are going to think of the song. we've come to the conclusion it's probably impossible to give everyone what they want so we're trying to do what we like. it's worked out pretty well so far.
lp_schnuller DarthYak (16:44): hey chester, will you play the mmm...cookies songs from the new undergroundcd live? thanks for the great concerts in dusseldorf, munich and frankfurt last year, i was there and it was unbelievable!
chesterbennington (16:44): kaji5785- Club Tattoo in texas- maybe. don't know about the womans line, but we are planning on doing one.
LPfreak4ever15 (16:44): Linkin Park used to be part of the "NU-Metal" or "Rap-metal" genre, will you guys change back to that style in your new album or is that sound long gone?
MarathonMan busta311 (16:45): Do you have any working titles for the new album?
chesterbennington (16:49): lp schnuller- i'd probably imagine we're not going to play mmmm cookies- it wasn't really meant to be anything besides fun!
chesterbennington (16:49): lpfreak4ever15- i think there's still some remnants of those genres
chesterbennington (16:51): marathonman- for which album? the answer would be no- I don't have any working titles for my record or linkin park's
Mshinoda12345 (16:51): Hi Chester, you?re side projects have been amazing so far! Which of your side projects has been the most rewarding and why (Camp Freddy, Solo record, working with Jay Z and Busta, etc.)?
chesterbennington (16:52): mshinoda12345- I would probably say that it's all been pretty rewarding.
Naaadineee (16:52): What do you do with all the Presents you get at M&Gs? At the M&G in Munich in June a Friend and Me gave you a Pillow on which is written "Linkin Park the best band of the universe". And you still have it !? youre going to do PR this year in europe again?
chesterbennington (16:52): I don't know which one is the MOST rewarding though.
chesterbennington (16:52): That's a hard question.
nillp chesterbennington (16:52): first, thanks for being here! so, did you guys already decided or thought about someone to be the producer of the new album, it's going to be just mike or what? thanks for inspiring each day of my life! take care a lot of love from Brazil.
chesterbennington (16:53): Naaadienee- I try to keep as much of the m/g stuff as I can.
oxy JWilsonLP (16:54): i thought reanimation was a great albums can we accpect any more remix albums in the future, maybe one for meteora or minutes to midnight?
chesterbennington (16:54): I keep a lot of the m/g stuff- I have a kind of fan memorabillia thing so i can go back and look at it all at some point.
PinkyLouloulp chazyshay32 (16:55): Chester,I was wondering what is the meaning behind Ve'Cel's drawings? You had something particular in mind? Greetings from Hope and Dora.
chesterbennington (16:55): nillp- we have not yet picked a producer for the record, but we're talking to really great people so i'm sure as we have that info we'll put it out
PheonixDown (16:55): I want to know what your mentality was between the last few albums,
if we take the first two the songs are personal, feelings, and emotions,
but MTM was very opinionated and politcal...'
how did they come to be so different
chesterbennington (16:55): oxy- i don't know about remix albums, it's usually been a spontaneous thing we've done in the past, it might be something for the future, i don't know.
chesterbennington (16:56): pinkylouloulp- i don't know
Q_Dizzle (16:56): You guys sometimes tend to incorporate anime themes into your videos. Do you personally watch anime? And if so, what is your favorite anime and do any of the other members watch anime?
chesterbennington (16:57): phoenixdown- i think we feel confident enough in our intelligence- that at this point we are are knowledgable to be crucial about things we were to naive about before.
revolutionman (16:57): Hey chester, have you considered rapping on the new lp album? why should mike have all the fun? also, i love the search with chester site, i got my autographed poster in the mail today, its awesome! thanks =)
rawrzar chester_zoe1974 (16:57): Hey Chester! Besides being a concept album, is the new record going to be different than the previous records like MTM was, and are you guys still experimenting with different types of music? I enjoyed MTM as much as I did the other two albums! =)
Rayler_Tae chesterbennington (16:58): Do any Fans scare you? Have you ever met an OVER obsessed fan? P.S.--Hope You Have a great year and Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions!
chesterbennington (16:58): q-dizzle- I would say that i think in a way all of us like anime if it's done right, but i'm pretty sure joe is the only one to watch on a regular basis.
chesterbennington (16:58): revoultionman- you know i don't know it could be fun to rap- i just don't know if i'll be a very good rapper. i'll try it though
chesterbennington (16:59):raylertae- yes a lot of fans scare me. it's fun to have people appreciate what you do, it's scary to have people freak out . there have been a couple fans that have scared the crap out of me, one is in prision and one has a restraining order right now.
chesterbennington (16:59):so it's not a good idea to get crazy :)
chesterbennington (17:00):next one?
scottdaniels chesterbennington (17:01):Chester what will be your first Hit Single from your solo Album Dead by Sunrise and Chester you and LP Rocks Forever

tHeKyAn chesterbennington (17:02):hey chester, is the new LP album gunna be like the old or new style? and is there a estimate on a release date?
chesterbennington (17:02):sibel- you're welcome :) there are a couple things i've been asked to do but they've kind of stalled so i don't want to say i'll be part of them. but when that stuff happens i'll let you know
chesterbennington (17:03):thapoet- we wanted something that didn't mean anything!
chesterbennington (17:03):that sounded like it was important- that name seemed to fit
Tiff07 (17:03):Out of all the LP music videos, which one is your favorite thus far?
chesterbennington (17:03):thekyan- it's going to be like super new old school :)
Victoria_LPF chesterbennington (17:04):I got Revolution Unseen and I read that you were an artist since at the age of six. Being an artist since an early age, I was wondering if you still do a lot of art and if so what inspires you today?-Greetings from Kentucky-Victoria
chesterbennington (17:04):tiff07- hmmm....i still have to say breaking the habit is the best video
chesterbennington (17:05):victoria-lpf- i'd have to say i'm not as active as i'd like to be as an artist- meaning i don't paint or draw very often. but i do go through moments where i am inspried to do that more than others. i think it's really important that if you are creative
chesterbennington (17:05):in any way you should persue that. it's usually a really good way to express yourself.
vicel DarthYak (17:05):we love your Ve'cel clothes so much. will you enlarge your store in world wide? will you open up other stores in other foreign countries?
chesterbennington (17:05):even if you aren't that good at it, and you just like it it doesn't really matter.
