Linkin Park

Chester is now following Mike’s blogging thing. He has his own website at cbennington.com.

“We sparked a new kind of life into what we do during the writing of ['Midnight'],” Bennington tells Billboard.com. “We want to keep that going. I think we’re in the mode, and I have a good feeling we’re going to put another record out really quickly.”
