  There is an unplugged version of Chester singing Rolling in the Deep and he kills it.

  What I love about his voice, his distorted vocals especially, is that he was so able to sound both sensitive and aggressive at the same time. &quot;Figure 09&quot; has one of my favorite choruses, because it&apos;s basically built on distorted vocals, but it doesn&apos;t sound just aggressive, but also very sad and emotional. Not to mention the timbre, his high tenor voice was beautiful, mixed with the screaming? Such a unique voice.

  I think the beauty that really captured Chester voice was his ability to switch between distorted screams to clean vocals but sound like it was two vocalists he is arguably the best ever. So many bands who scream and do clean vocals need two vocalists because the transition isn’t possible for them but Chester mastered it alone. He’s go from this clean sweet emotional voice to this deep raw distorted voice. Don Gilmore and Mike Always said that Chester voice was so beautiful that when he sung with power and grit you could hear more than one vocal depending on what your focusing on within his voice. &nbsp;Chester was other worldly. Someone put it perfectly Chester sounded like he was vocal layering without vocal layering it’s immense when he sings with grit and power

  Seeing Chris’ reaction to Chester’s gritty vocals is hilarious - because that’s exactly how I react every time I hear Chester do that

  I&apos;ve always been so jealous of his screams. I can do clean vocals pretty well, but getting the kind of raw pain and distortion that Chester has almost seamlessly and at various parts in his range has always been a secret goal of mine :,)

  Watching you react to and analyse this performance was really special to me, since I was there that day, and had the immense priviledge to hear him in person. I couldn&apos;t notice all the things you have in this video, rather, what I was struck by was how much space his voice would take up, without any aid whatsoever. I&apos;m not kidding when I say that I felt like filled the entire arena, and sort of punched at your chest, crashed against you like waves, I really don&apos;t know how to adequately explain the sensation, but it was unlike anything I had heard before. I&apos;m so grateful that I got to experience this, and even more grateful for the fellow fans I got to meet there, what a time we had together!

  As impressive as Chester is, let&apos;s not lose focus of how huge this man&apos;s brachioradialis is

  Listening to him, he reminds me a lot of Layne Staley regarding going in and out of distortion/screams so smoothly.

  He&apos;s the absolute best and will always be... at least in my lifetime and that says a lot, because I&apos;m 26 :)
