Chester Bennington's Widow Talinda Marks His Birthday

Chester Bennington’s widow Talinda posted an old photo of Chester holding a birthday present on her Instagram, remembering him on what would have been his 46th birthday.

The heartfelt caption brings a lump to your throat. “Happy Birthday to my love,” she says, “We miss you so much. The pain doesn’t get any easier, but you get used to it is what they say. I’m not sure I believe that at all.”

Talinda went on to tell Chester “I’m doing my best to raise our babies the way we always talked about. You were my other half and it is so hard walking without you. I love you and we are celebrating you today.”

Chester died by suicide at the age of 41 in July of 2017. He and Talinda had three children together – son Tyler Lee and twin daughters Lily and Lila. Talinda says that, rather than staying “stuck in despair,” interacting with Linkin Park fans on social media helped her through the early stages of grief.

How Did These Rock Bands Get Their Names? 

 

 

Ever wonder about the origin of some of your favorite bands' names?  Loudwire put together a list of 20. Here are 10:

 

 

1.  Led Zeppelin: After The Yardbirds broke up, Jimmy Page started The New Yardbirds with Robert PlantJohn Paul Jones, and John Bonham.  Keith Moon told Jimmy that the project would crash and burn like a, quote, "lead balloon".

 

 

2.  Stone Temple Pilots: After a few name changes, they were inspired by the STP Motor Oil logo.

 

 

3.  The Beatles: After John Lennon recruited Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, they became Johnny and the Moondogs. But then it turned into the Beetles as a tribute to Buddy Holly and the Crickets . . . which turned into the Silver Beatles, then just the Beatles.

 

 

 

 

4.  Green Day: They all shared a fondness for marijuana, so they decided to use a Bay Area slang term for spending an entire day doing nothing but smoking pot.

 

 

5.  Foo Fighters:  Dave Grohl recorded the first record by himself, but he wanted people to think he was a group. So he went with the World War 2 term for UFOs and made sure it was plural.

 

 

6.  Guns N' Roses: Basically when members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose got together, they merged their band names.

 

 

7.  Linkin Park: After a few name changes, Chester Bennington suggested Lincoln Park in tribute to a park in Santa Monica. But they changed the spelling to secure their own website.

 

 

8.  Bring Me the Horizon: They were inspired by Jack Sparrow's line at the end in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". He says, quote, "Bring me that horizon."

 

 

9.  Fall Out Boy: It came from "The Simpsons" . . . Fallout Boy is the name of Radioactive Man's sidekick.

 

 

10.  My Chemical Romance: Guitarist Mikey Way was working at Barnes and Noble and was inspired by a short story collection by "Trainspotting" author Irvine Welsh called "Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance".

Greta Van Fleet Postpone Shows Due To Guitarist Illness

Michigan rockers Greta Van Fleet have postponed a series of upcoming shows after guitarist Jake Kiszka was hospitalized with pneumonia. Gigs in Flint and Ypsilanti were postponed, as well as the show that was scheduled to have happened in Huntington, West Virginia on Saturday.

Both Jake and his brother Josh “woke up unwell,” but the band wrote on Instagram last week that “While Josh has mostly recovered, Jake’s diagnosis is more complex.” The show that was scheduled in Huntington has been rescheduled until August 10th, while the Flint show will happen September 13th and the Ypsilanti date has been moved to September 14th.

The group kicked off the ‘Dreams In Gold’ tour on March 10th behind their 2021 album ‘The Battle at Garden’s Gate.’
