Jaime Bennington, son of late Chester Bennington yet again spoke his mind regarding Linkin Park and his father’s passing. Jamie Bennington has been grabbing headlines with his accusations on the band.

Jamie Bennington talks about Lamb of God

During a recent interview with Cheap Heat Productions Podcas t, Jaime targeted Lamb Of God’s Mark Morton while discussing Linkin Park’s previously unreleased track ‘Friendly Fire,’ a collaboration with the band and Morton.

“I’m like, ‘Wait a second.’ If this was recorded in 2017 then let me look back here and there’s Chester’s tweets from April of 2017. He said he was with Mark Morton. Who’s Mark Morton? Type in, Mark Morton from Lamb of God,” he explained.

“You find out he’s from Lamb of God and then all of a sudden you find cross-off on his ‘Anesthetic’ album from 2019 and you’re like, ‘What? Hold on a second, Chester wrote that in 2017.’ It didn’t come out when he died, it came out two years after.”

“Then ‘Friendly Fire’ was recorded at the same time and that wasn’t released into until 2024 in promotion of the greatest hits album for Linkin Park ‘Paper Cuts,’” Jaime continued.

“It’s like, ‘Wait a second, that’s so strange. Now I need to ask questions. Why is it that these two songs that very clearly explain Chester’s situation at the time which very clearly states he was not in a good space that he was not at the best that he could possibly be that he was drowning in his sorrows and then also being manipulated by the industry, he was in at the very end of his tenure?’”

“It’s interesting. Why was that released across such a wide amount of time and why did nobody take accountability for it? Linkin Park still hasn’t, but also I’ve tagged Mark Morton in my observations of this before and he hasn’t even responded to me and I asked, ‘Where’s the accountability?’,” he added.

Linkin Park appeared on Morton’s solo album, and it appears that the rocker received so many messages from LP fans. “I got so many messages and so much feedback from Linkin Park fans, thanking me for doing the song and telling me how much it meant to them and what a gift it was to hear his voice again,” he explained during an interview.

“Such an iconic voice – really, the voice of a generation in a lot of ways, ’cause he was so unique and so prolific and just such an amazing talent. I could go on and on. Chester was just a really genuine, loving, compassionate, creative, brilliant dude, and I’m just really fortunate to have had the opportunity to write and record a song with him. So when it came out, it was just mind-blowing, man,” he added.

Originally recorded during the sessions for their seventh studio album, ‘One More Light,’ ‘Friendly Fire’ was officially released on February 23, 2024, as the lead single from the greatest hits album ‘Papercuts (Singles Collection 2000–2023).’ It features vocals from Chester, recorded before his death in 2017, and appears as the 20th and final track on the album.
