Petition to have Chester Bennington removed from STP
« on: August 28, 2013, 05:14:49 AM »
Hey everyone! I never heard of this website before, but is this the  right place to go to start a petition to have Chester Bennington removed from STP? I went to the STP website and it looked like it was abandoned to say the very least!   I'm just like every other long time STP fan out there that's really pissed about this talentless hack singing for one of the greatest rock bands ever. Hopefully we can help speed up the process of getting him out of the band.

Thanks in advance for the help/info!

Would you mind making 2 petitions while you're at it?
The other one being to ban him from making music in general

Come on now... They're adults and can make their own decisions about THEIR band.  You can be pissed about it, but it's ultimately up to them

This topic may be the most lame-ass, crybaby thing I've ever seen on BE.

This is as ridiculous as people starting a petition to have Ben Affleck removed as Batman ....
I got a picture of a photograph ...

STP has been my favorite band for 20 years, and I'm not "really pissed" about Chester, nor do I think he's anything close to a talentless hack.

I'm pissed off at Scott for "not showing up" in general for STP. I'm pissed at the Deleos and Kretz for turning this into a legal battle.

A petition would be perfect. Even if it doesn't do much, if we get enough signatures then it would at least let Chester know he's not wanted, although I'm sure he's already well aware to say the very least from the whole backlash.

Not sure if it would do anything, but I'd definitely sign it

Guys get over it.  This is about the only way we can get new music from STP.  Scott with STP is no more.  And yeah, you may say a new album with Bennington will tarnish the band's legacy (do they even have one?), but I know that even if the album totally flops, it will be in a whole different category compared to the rest of STP's albums.  Hell, it will be on a whole different shelf.  Just enjoy the music and give it a chance.  They haven't even released anything yet but the one single and we are already going after Chester's head.  For as many chances most of you Bennington-haters give Weiland, you would figure that Chester deserves one.

Bad call. I'm an STP purist and fan from the beginning as well. Leave it alone. Who's going to read your petition? Atlantic? LOL!

I'm in.  You should start it on twitter or facebook.  Most fans are pro Scott, anti Chester.  Not too many people are on this board.

This is a brilliant idea. While you’re at it, why don’t you start a petition for Scott to get sober as well? I’m sure it will be equally successful.

Totally agree, the more people that hear about this project the better. That can only help the band!

Precisely.
