    This is an awesome grunge band called Candlebox, and I could've sworn when I first heard them that Chester was the lead singer. It's just amazing how alike the two vocalists sing.

    I've listened to Candlebox for about 15 years, great shit. Never made a Chester comparison before, though. I can kind of see it.

    I normally roll my eyes when someone says a singer sounds like Chester, but the background growl around 1 minute in is pure Chester. Sounds like Grey Daze era Chester. Like it a lot!

    This. I haven't heard "Don't You" in upwards of 10 years. Thanks for posting it.

    I'd love to hear Chester cover "Far Behind". One of my favorite songs of the 90s. Didn't realize it was the same band haha.

    I like their single "You" better. Both "You" and "Far Behind" are amazing songs, though...

    If anything, shouldn't it be that Chester sounds like the dude from Candlebox? Not the other way around?

    In theory yes, because Candlebox broke onto the scene before Linkin Park.
