A cover by Linkin Park of ‘Rolling In The Deep’ by Adele

“The passion in his voice gets more and more evident the longer you listen”

If you had to guess from any musical act in the world that you thought would choose to cover this song live, few, if any would have picked Linkin Park but its hard to believe if there is any other musical act in the world that could have done a better job.

Coming from the singer who has sung the lyrics ‘Shut up when I’m talking to you’, ‘You try to take the best of me, go away’ and ‘Put me out of my F****** misery’ you would half expect a mellow and emotionally driven song like ‘Rolling In The Deep’ to loose its meaning behind such a Rock ‘n’ Roll singer like Chester Bennington but the passion in his voice gets more and more evident the longer you listen and there’s no denying how well the vocals connect with Mike Shinoda’s piano backing.

Below is Chester’s performance of ‘Rolling In The Deep’ live at the iTunes Festival, London on July 4th 2011. And below it is the original song, written by Adele.

Thank you Adele and THANK YOU Chester.
