[ThePlantLovesYou]

chino is the only person that can sing horribly out of tune and still get away with it.

[nessusred]

@ThePlantLovesYou I think Tom Delonge gets away with it too haha

[ThePlantLovesYou]

@nessusred you're totally right. lol. fuckin tom. i can hear him now...'its maagiiiic' ha

[nessusred]

@ThePlantLovesYou I like to think I get away with it too, the crowds don't bottle us so heres hoping.....

[IceKoldKilla1992]

@ThePlantLovesYou I hate it because if he would practice and pay lessons he would sound so great! He says he just learned to sing through out his career. Fuck I know the band was made for fun then turned out to get a deal but DAMN! Practice! FUCK! I hate him singing out of tune and using the voice shit like auto-tune! So sad. I want to listen to the song live the closest to the album version. NOT TRYING TO SAY LP is better but Chester from Linkin Park sounds better when he screams. Such a beast!

[deftones1324]

@IceKoldKilla1992 thats the way deftones are every show is different thats what makes them one of the best live bands!! he only uses auto for high pitched stuff(only on studio versions not live) bcuz his vocal cords broke back in 2001, but have u seen him latley hes beast,btw i hate chester screams and sings

[Resist012]

@IceKoldKilla1992 no DEFTONES=no (shitty) linkin park. Sorry man, but Deftones are million times better than linkin park, and they came before them... they really invented a genre. And if you like linkin park...you must at least respect Deftones.

[kowtpr187]

@IceKoldKilla1992 Deftones don't use auto tune! This video is from 98 and if you played a tour that lasts 10 months Im sure your voice wouldnt be too great all the time. He already blew out his vocal chords once. If you think Linkin Park is better than you have no grounds to argue. Chester is like Back Street Boys meets wannabe hip hop meets too studio bullshit over produced metal.

[IceKoldKilla1992]

@kowtpr187 I didn't mean to say they use auto-tune. LOL I said some shit like it. It's the same shit he's used on almost all his albums specially White Pony. LIVE it's like they didn't take time to adjust his voice before performing. Of course he might have been tired but who says it was during the last of the tour? Anyway I clearly said that I didn't MEAN LP is better but you have to admit Chester has a great voice. Chino back then didn't give a shit and I bet he never practiced or whatever...

[IceKoldKilla1992]

@kowtpr187 Also Chino has clearly said on many interviews that back then when they started to play before making an album they didn't plan to make it BIG and he did it for fun. That's why he never took voice lessons or practiced. He just plain started to sing the way it sounded better. That's why he had to use for the studio that voice shit. In some concerts for like SNW they even had ECHO! It sounded horrible. Now he's the shit and after years of singing he's gotten better.

@IceKoldKilla1992

"they didn't plan to make it BIG" - But they did it so that's a cheap excuse...

"That's why he never took voice lessons or practiced" - Ya know it's never too late to take voice lessons... lol

I fucking love the band but hearing them live is really disappointing usually...
