DiscoveRock Edition N°28 - Special Legend Tribute - Linkin Park (in memory of Chester Bennington)

I publish this special edition of DiscoveRock to talk about another legendary band, Linkin Park, but also to pay my tribute to the memory of a rock icon, Linkin Park's lead singer, Chester Bennington, who was found dead at his home on July 20, 2017. His death leaves a huge void in the group but also in the entire world of music.... May you rest in peace, Chester. All my condolances to his friends and family. This article is for you, Chester.

Existing since 1996 (under the first name of Xero, then Hybrid Theory, to finally become Linkin Park), Linkin Park is an American band, making Nu Metal, or Electro Rock, or Alternative Rock. Linkin Park has become a real icon in the years of their career, having sold more than 70 million albums worldwide and won two Grammy Awards. Their songs, sometimes very powerful, sometimes calmer, have made the tour of the world, songs such as Numb, New Divide, Castle of Glass, In the End, What I've Done or Burn it Down, for exemples, have become absolute hits, making millions of views on the Internet and having become monuments of the rock music. Linkin Park was even the first rock band to cross the billion views on youtube. The group currently has released seven albums, the last of which, One More Light, was released in 2017. But with the death of the band's singer, Chester Bennington, who has become a true rock icon through the years, Linkin Park's future seems really uncertain ...... Chester will never be forgotten, his unique voice will continue to resonate in the hearts and ears of the fans, forever.

May the Force be with you Princess - My farewell and tribute to Carrie Fisher

Today, the world, even more, the entire galaxy is in mourning. It is with a heavy heart and drowned in sadness that I says farewell and pay tribute to a great woman who was a very good actress but who by her role as the Princess Leia became a symbol of the childhood of many people, including myself. I discovered Star Wars when I was a kid, and Leia became one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars saga. A female character with a strong mind, a leader, a queen .... I'm shocked to learn that Carrie Fisher died on that cursed day of December 27, 2016.

She had had a heart attack, and although she was in a stable state, it was not enough. It is with sadness that I say farewell to our dear galactic princess whom we shall love for ever. We love you, Carrie Fisher, thanks for everything you've done for us. You have joined the Force, and we will never forget you. :'(

Carrie Fisher

RIP

May the Force be with you, forever and beyond

Another star leave our world to join the sky

Wun Wun - Last of the giants (Tribute)

Tonight, after watching episode 9 of season 6 of Game of Thrones, I write this article to pay tribute to one of my favorite characters in the whole series: Wun Wun the giant.
Wun Wun had appeared in season 5, where he showed his bravery and strength in fighting the zombies of the army of the dead. Therefore, the giant became a friend of Jon Snow, and there was a mutual respect between them.
Later, at the beginning of season 6, Wun Wun helped defend Jon's corpse, destroying the doors of Castleblack, and killing a guard by hitting him violently against a wall. Although he was not a human, Wun Wun had chosen to fight for them, for the good cause.
But it's in this episode 9 of season 6 that Wun Wun, after a terrible bloody battle, where the giant fought with all his strength, he sacrificed his life to allow the forces of Jon and Sansa to enter in the city. The body riddled with arrows, Wun Wun continued to move forward until the end. He gave his life for a people that was not his own, but he chose to do so. His death tore my heart in two, to see him suffer from his injuries ached me and when he breathed his last before falling, tears flowed from my cheeks. He was a really nice character, and my only regret is he was not more exploited and shown on the screen. He deserved it. Another regret is that Wun Wun will never meet Daenerys, I really wished she see a giant.
Wun Wun, the giant who gave his life to free Winterfell and the north from the grip of the Boltons.
Wun Wun. Last of the giants. More than a true warrior. A true hero. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

May you rest in peace, giant warrior and hero of the north \m/ :'(

RIP Aleah Stanbridge - Tribute and farewell to a Metal angel

Removed my hat, hand on chest, with a heavy heart and tears on my cheek. I write this small article this evening to pay a tribute, and I'm really sorry for the fans who will discover it by this article.
This April 18, 2016, the world of metal is again in mourning following the death of Aleah Stanbridge, singer of the Doom/Gothic metal band Trees of Eternity. She passed away because of a fucking cancer (Fuck you cancer!), While she was just 39 years old.
With her angelic and deep voice, like an angel of darkness, mixed with a dark metal and melody, Aleah had a bright future with Trees of Eternity and already was, for me, a very talented and beautiful singer. But fucking fate has decided otherwise. An angel of metal joined the sky today, towards the Rockers and Metalheads paradise. My condolences to her family and friends. Farewell Aleah, may you rest in peace forever. The fans raise their hands for you and sing for you tonight. She joined heaven, but her angel voice will continue to resonate in the hearts of metal fans, forever \m/ \m/

\m/ Rest In Peace Aleah Stanbridge, Angel of Metal \m/

Trees of Eternity - Black Ocean

To show you how much she was talented with her voice.

RIP Mr. Lemmy Kilmister - Farewell and tribute to my idol and Rock master

It's a horrible way to finish the year, but I have to do it, as a fan but also as a man.
Lemmy, Motörhead leader, rock legend and my idol sadly passed away this December 28, 2015, just four days after his 70th birthday.
Lemmy was my first idol when I discovered the rock, and he has always been. He was a musician and singer of exceptional talent, but also a man with a big heart and a exemplary humanity. The world has not only lost a legendary artist, he also lost the man who best represents our species, for his humanity and his kindness. I am wholeheartedly with his associates, the guitarist Phil Campbell and the drummer Mikkey Dee. A page of history has just been turned forever.
Lemmy has dedicated his entire life to Rock N Roll, he would not stop playing until his last breath, and that's what he did. He did it, until the end. He was a true warrior in his own way. I'm happy for him, he was able to live his life as he wanted, and what I hope is that he did not suffer too much before leaving our world, to join the pantheon of the gods of Rock.
My heart is broken and destroyed, my face drowned in tears, and my mind is with the family and friends of Lemmy. It's with the biggest and deepest sadness that I say farewell to Lemmy, my idol, who will join the rock gods in heaven. Lemmy, thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done, for being an example to me and millions of fans worldwide. You remain in our hearts and minds forever.
Motörheadbanger for Life!! \m/ :'( </3

As tribute to my idol, I made a minute of silence for him:

Motörhead for Life!! \m/

Lemmy is Rock, and Rock is Lemmy! \m/

RIP Oderus Urungus: Tribute to the leader of Gwar

This morning on the internet, I learned a new one that breaks my heart and fills me great sadness: Oderus Urungus, the leader of Thrash Metal band, Gwar, is sadly died on March 23, at the age of 50.
Gwar is one of my favorite bands and I always considered Oderus, as a mentor, a master, and I will continue to believe in him, always.
I absolutely wanted to see Gwar in real, but I think it will never happen, because without Oderus Urungus, the future looks uncertain for the group and Gwar will probably disappear, but I know that as a Gwar fan I will continue to listen their music and continue with all the other Gwar fans, to live this thrash music, gore but beautiful.

It's with the broken heart and the greatest sadness that I bid farewell to Oderus Urungus, one of the wildest and terrifying singers, but also one of the most talented I know. I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and also the rest of the band Gwar. 

RIP Oderus, my mentor, we will never forget you and we will miss you. 

I love you dude :'(

RIP
