Blog 3: Favorite music band/ artist / kind of music

It´s very difficult to me say who is my favorite artist or band. I love music so I think that every artist or band have a special characteristic.

But now I can tell you about a band that has been in my heart since I started to become a musician.

This band is "Linkin Park".an American band from Agoura Hills, California, formed in 1996. Their kind of music is alternative metal and rock, also sometimes electronic rock and a little of rap.

I remeber that, when I was 12 years old, was the first time that I heard this band, a song called "Given Up", this happened thank to a classmate that liked Linkin Park too. The rythim guitar in this song its what make me love this band, 

I like so much its firsts albums, like "Hybrid Theory" (2000), "Meteora" (2003) or "Minutes to Midnight" (2007), I love this three albums and I think that are the best.

Its last album was "One More Light"(2017), a more electronic and pop-oriented record and so emotional, at the beginning I didn´t liked so much this new kind of music on this band, but when I analyzed the lyrics of its songs, I learned to appreciate this album.

This last time Linkin Park went into an indefinite hiatus after its longtime lead vocalist Chester Bennington died from suicide by hanging on July 20, 2017, because of a strong depression. I was so sad when I heard that Chester decides to commit suicide on the birthday of one of his best friends, Chris Cornell, another of my favorites singers, who had died a few months ago in the same way, from that moment Chester has been my favorite singer.

His last live show was so emotional, I think that with the song "One More Light" he was able to express everything he felt, in his last moments, to his fans.

R.I.P. Chester Bennington.
