Kevin and Bean chatted backstage with Chester and STP and answered all these questions from how did they come up with Chester fronting Stone Temple Pilots, Chester compared it with Linkin Park and also said that he’s the singer in BOTH Linkin Park AND Stone Temple Pilots. They said they’s going to be an album AND tour! That’s fantastic.

It’s official, Chester has made a new song with Stone Temple Pilots! Weiland has left the band and Chester replaced him at KROQ’s Weenie Roast yesterday. Chester had said to Kevin and Bean a week ago that he might check out Weenie Roast. Evil! Check out the teaser video

“Chester has a one-of-a-kind voice that we’ve admired for a long time,” said guitarist Dean DeLeo.  “We know Linkin Park will always be his priority, but we thought it would be cool to try something together.  We managed to find the time to record a song and we’re all really happy with the result.”

“I’ve loved STP since I was 13 years old and they’ve had a huge influence on me,” explained Bennington. “When the opportunity came up to do something creative with them, I jumped at the chance.  The guys in Linkin Park have been incredibly supportive of me undertaking this project while I’ve continued to work on new music with LP.”

In honor of Chester’s Stevie Ray Vaughan award that he’s getting on May 30th by MusiCares for his active role in the cause I felt it was only appropriate that I made a new layout that was based on Chester’s humanitarian work. The picture I used is from Chester’s visit to Cardon Children’s Medical Center last year and his dog Bruiser who’s actually doing volunteering work at the hospital.

I also made 4 frames to promote the works of Music For Relief, Power The World, MusiCares and finally Cardon’s.

The site is not quite finished though, in the coming days there’s going to be pages with ALL the causes Chester supports or has supported throughout the years.

It’s of great importance that we help anyway we can for not only these causes but for every cause out there, either by donating or promoting and puttng the word out. This is mostly what I wanted to do with this new look.

In related news, Linkin Park’s contest to hang out in the studio and benefit MFR is still running, you can take part here.

Also, Omaze is doing more Linkin Park related contests to benefit Music For Relief, such as to Win a Linkin Park Platinum Plaque given to Mike Shinoda, Minutes to Midnight Signed Poster, Signed  Revolution Unseen: Projekt Revolution Art Book and Win 2 VIP tickets to Chester’s Award Acceptance and performance at MusiCares.

Other contests benefting Music For Relief can be found here.

Linkin Park have announced a show in Manila, Philippines on August 13th at the Mall Of Asia Arena. Tickets available soon at  http://smtickets.com .

Chester called in yesterday on KROQ’s Kevin & Bean show to talk about the upcoming MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit on May 30th at Club Nokia in which he’s presented with the Stevie Ray Vaughan award and also performing.
