Best Linkin Park Band Members

The Top Ten
1 Chester Bennington Chester Charles Bennington (March 20th, 1976 - July 20th, 2017) was an American musician, singer, songwriter and actor, best known for being the lead singer of Linkin Park. Before he was known for Linkin Park, Bennington was the lead singer of post-grunge act Grey Daze who was heavily inspired by Stone Temple Pilots they released two albums with Chester before his death. Wake Me and No Sun Today, a third album called Amends would be released in 2020 consisting of voice samples from Bennington. After Grey Daze dissolved, Bennington would join Linkin Parkin in 1999 formerly called Hybrid Theory, replacing former vocalist Mark Wakefield, who would go on to become Taproot's producer. Even with Bennington's ...read more.

See I have people bullying me but whenever I get home I put Linkin park on and you know what it makes me feel happy what he done for his fans really makes me happy its sad that he's gone love you Chester you are such an inspiration to me thank you

Honestly Chester is the best because he's basically the face of Linkin Park, but you can't really compare the members because all of them are amazing!

The best singer in the world. Without Chester, the voice of Linkin Park, we would not have any good music because he's one of a kind. LP 4-life.

I love Linkin Park in general, but Chester has just got amazing talent, plus he's got a good sense of humor and is a really awesome person!

2 Mike Shinoda Michael Kenji "Mike" Shinoda (born 11 February 1977) is an American musician, rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, graphic designer, manager and film composer. He co-founded Linkin Park in 1996 and is the band's rhythm guitarist, primary songwriter, keyboardist, producer, and co-lead vocalist. ...read more.

The "mike is the glue " and " backbone" thing said it all. Also the "great dad, very friendly". I would add that mike is very accomplished in many ways - he can sing, speak (read) in japanese and german so far, and use this thing to get close to fans and make them feel important. I felt important just watching it on youtube, even though I am not german nor japanese, cause I thought "if mike ever comes to albania, he'll put his hand on the pocket and start reading some albanian greetings, and I will feel like he actually cares." I mean, I really think he cares. Not to mention the fact that his wife seems so cute and his family so healthy and happy (that tells a lot about him too). And he seems to be pretty good with writing lyrics - some are his, and working with artists of other genres (chester and skylar grey). And he is an illustrator. He can do something else with his life other than being THE MAGNIFICENT MIKE SHINODA. Not to underestimate the rest of the band, they are ALL ...more

Mike is the best member of Linkin Park, as it is basically his band. He does by far more than any of the other members, as he basically puts all the songs together as well AS being a co-producer on most of their albums, and not only that but also does vocals AND rhythm guitar for the band too. He does far more for the band than the other members do, therefore he really deserves to be in first place on this list.

I find Mike's verses pretty legit. He can rap real well and his messages are very from the heart. Mike is amazing at what he does, from rapping to singing to illustrating to playing guitar. Mike is my personal favorite and although Chester is what usually connects fans to newcomers, it is Mike who really stands out. After all he did help form the band.

Although Chester is one of the greatest singers and performers I've ever seen. Mike is the real deal in LP, he's the rhythm guitarist, rapper, keyboardist, main songwriter... Well, he's the mastermind behind Linkin Park. A true musical genius!

PS: He's a great painter as well.

3 Rob Bourdon Robert Gregory Bourdon is an American musician, best known as the drummer and one of the founding members of the American rock band Linkin Park.

Joe Hahn, Robert Gregory Bourdon and Mike Shinoda are the best members of the Band. And yes Rob is the best drummer in the world! I watched the solo of Rob between Bleed It Out - he drums amazing! He's a drummist!

Best drummer in the world!
Look at the live solo of bleed it out: awesome

Besides Daniel Adair of Nickelback the best drummer in the world

4 Joe Hahn (Mr. Hahn)

Without Mr. Hahn, Linkin Park would not sound nearly as unique as they do. He is one of the best DJs around.

The best DJ and director ever and without him Linkin Park would not sound right

5 Brad Delson Bradford Phillip Delson is an American musician, best known as the lead guitarist and one of the founding members of the Grammy Award winning rock band Linkin Park.

After Hunting Party I can say that he is one of the best guitarists in the world.
