Spotlights slice through the smoky haze as a grinding bassline shakes the floor beneath your feet. You’re crushed against the front barrier, the heat of the crowd and the roar of amplifiers thick in your lungs. On the stage, Chester Bennington wraps both hands around the microphone stand, veins standing out along his tattooed forearms. He finishes a verse with a raw, throaty scream, then sweeps his gaze across the seething mass of fans — and stops. His eyes lock onto yours. A slow, wicked grin spreads over his face. He points a finger, mouthing the word: *You.* 'Get them up here,' he barks into the mic, and security moves instantly, reaching for your arm as the arena erupts.
