Linkin Park singer/guitarist Mike Shinoda discussed Chester Bennington’s competitive streak in a new Kerrang article.
“When we were travelling we would always play poker. Sometimes he would get on a roll where he would be winning in spite of himself. He knew he was making stupid decisions, usually by staying in on hands that he shouldn’t be staying in on because he had bad cards. But he was the type of guy where he would follow his intuition. We’d see it and bet against him knowing that our hands were virtually indestructible and he was going to lose.
“I’d say to him, ‘Why are you betting? It’s crazy right now.’ He’d say, ‘Because I’m gonna win.’ And this motherfucker would catch a card at the very end of the game to beat us. The place would erupt in screaming because he knew he should have had no chance and he’d got lucky. They were the funniest moments. He actually had a character that was invented just for that called The Poker Lizard because he would stick his tongue out like a lizard as was scraping in our chips and taking all our money.”
