  • this cover is so greattt !!!!! Love both bands !!

  • My problem is A bunch of bands acted like vampires about the word cold and drown the band to death on the internet

  • great cover. 2 of my favorite bands.

  • Besides all your defiitions of cover, by covering a song, the band covering it doesnt HAVE to make it EXACTLY the same, they have to input their style to the song.

  • wow fuckin u guys suck no one can rplace scotter ward cold army wow i can do this way better and i can prove it

  • Vocals are way off key. The band is decent. Nice try.

  • @Deathtour2929

    So are scooters vocals if you've ever seen them live...Ben does a better job (unfortunately).

  • @surgeyX meh I disagree. I agree Scooter sucks live and also really can only sing in one key.

    But I always felt no one does a song better than artist who created it. It is there music. Performed how they want to.

  • This cover sucks!!! If its not broke don't fix it...

  • man, this cover is actually really awesome, such a good attempt at this song.

  • I like this cover than the original

  • se escucha que esfuerza mucho su voz Ben pero aun asi suena bien

  • noooooooooooooooo breaking benjamin is the best band in tha world if anyone says no then tey are trannt homosexual fags that are making fun of there self

  • Ben is trying to hard to sound like Scooter...he needs to stop that and just be Ben...this would sound better!

  • Whats sad, is that the crowd didn't know the song. Idiots.

  • @twiztidlestat because nobody respects the small bands that are actually good

  • Actually I think his voice almost worked for this cover as opposed to most of the BB covers. Though I do have to say that they have amazing taste in bands. The nirvana cover of "You know you're right" was pretty good.

  • "I said that this is ugly to me, the world is ugly to me. You are ugly to me..."

  • Well from personally knowing some people from the Breaking Ben crew... they aren't trying to recreate exactly what COLD did, it's a homage. Believe me, I'm a HUGE COLD fan... and being from NEPA, it's so appreciated that a band would pay their respects to such a band. I give them much credit! How often do you hear band cover COLD? Arrogance is ugly...

  • This sounds sick!!

  • i think they did a good cover of this song...13 ways to bleed stage is an amazing record..

  • Well I love this song. So fuck you all! 

  • Man do the haters love this song. I think it's great for what it is, its a cover, get over it.

  • They suck

  • @g323g yea buddy you suck :) ok.......

  • @breakingjesus57 u swollow lmao dude i was stating my oppinion there not as good as cold, hurt korn any of the great bands there a solid soso band that have a few good songs the only song i like from em is so cold everything else i do not like

  • @g323g try i will not bow, give me a sign, saturate, dear agony and blow me away

    dude i never heard of cold or hurt , korn is ok but not as good as breaking benjamin, three days grace and system of a down

  • @breakingjesus57 What? You've never hear the song Hurt by Nine Inch Nails which was also popularly covered by Johnny Cash and has been by other bands, too? And Cold is my favorite band ever! Listen to their self-titled album and tell me that's not great grunge. As for BB, they are amazing, too. Though wish they had not gone so mainstream with their sound.

  • @Hydrofobic2001 o hurt ive heard already its amazing but cold havent heard it till now its a cool band

  • @g323g It kind of bugs me when people only find a bands hits to be their best . Seems like the only people listeing to BB's stuff like their mainstream stuff which is ok but not as creative lyrically or vocally. BB's Saturate album is still the best, but yeah, Cold are an amazing band.

  • What Were They Thinking??? Doing A Cover Of COLD....Give Me A Break No Wonder They Are Call Breaking Benjamin For 1....Everyone Keeps Saying Give Me A Break..When It Comes To Their Music..And 2...Breaking Benjamin Because They Break Your Bank With Ticket Prices And Cancel The Show And Promise To Come Back And Never DO!!!!

  • what is this sh....

  • shure he is trying to hard on his vocals to sound like scooter but who cares no one can duplicate anyone elses sound kudos to breaking benjamin

  • I give Breaking Benjamin props for doing this song because it really is a good song but no. Sounds like crap to me.

  • Nice cover. I'm a huge COLD fan and they did a great job on this

  • HAHAHAHA the chubby guy in the far right looks like a complete dumbass

  • @tan94319 Yeah he looks semi retarted lmao

  • look...they tried. Yea vocally he tried to much...but its still a great cover.

  • He is trying a bit too hard to sound like Scooter. But his voice is pretty similar, too. I think they chose a good job to cover.

  • He's trying too hard to sound like Scooter -_-. I know its been said before, I'm simply saying it again.

  • While I like that BB is showing some respect to Cold, I don't like the shakeyness of his vocals. I think he's trying to immitate that fast vibrato that Scooter does. It just isn't the same.

  • @AppealingTheRight i agree i think that it would have been better without the varying voice, still a pretty good song cover from BB though

  • Yeah Cold is on tour right now, I'm sure it's for their comeback. They're coming to upstate NY where I live on March 27. Can't wait to see them!

  • Oh lordie no. Noooooooooo

  • hahaha funny

  • Cold does not exist anymore!! I loved them :D

  • Comment removed

  • @DuskDistress

    Wrong. New song is out and new album called SuperFiction is expected to be on stores on 28th June

  • @godshann

    Let's see how much lasts and yes i heared new song and same happened to Flaw

  • @DuskDistress actually they do. they're making a comeback which will be bigger than ever. go to coldarmy.com to hear there new song. new cd comes out june 28th :D

  • @DuskDistress dude cold does exist now they r coming out wit an album this year i think its called epic or superfiction :D they just took a break from cold and scooter wanted to do a project and it was the killer t=and the star bt yea dude cold is bak

  • @IIApocalypseII i hope so, "Stupid girl" was a decent song, but rest of their catalog is so much better, it's sad they were not really recognized for it. reminds me exactly of what happened to Revolution Smile

  • My favorite band covering a song by one of my other favorite bands? God yes.

  • I really enjoy this cover. Maybe they'll do an updated version or pick a newer song from Cold's upcoming album! :D

  • The instrumentals are ok, the voals..sound like a rip-off mix between scooter and Robert Smith

  • It is what it is....a damn cover for fuck sake....jesus people chill out. Dont like it...go watch something else.

  • Why is he trying to imitate Scooter's voice and way of singing?!

    It could be great if he sang that with his full normal voice.

    This sounds like Pop Idol audition.

  • stop hating on bb for this

    they are respecting Cold by trying to do it

    if it doesnt sound good, then its just proof that bb has a long way to go

    bb 4ever

  • I think he did a great job..Scooter is amazing of course but at the same time Ben is fucking AMAZING!!!

  • BB has balls for doing this cover but this is COLD territory...

  • you just killed the song

  • sounds like scooter is about to vomit!!

  • good cover

  • no lie.. that sounds like shit.

  • This was a long time ago.. If Breaking Benjamin were to cover this song again with better quality recording it would probably blow us all away. ;)

  • A cover means a triblute which means repect. No one can do cold like cold, but props to BB for having the balls to try

  • yeah this definitely is not a good cover. i dotn rly like it. i LOVE BB, but he is DEFINITELY trying to sound like scooter. a cover doesnt mean sound exactly like it. it means use the same rhythm but amke it ur own. and i dnt think they did that with this song.

  • I think its quite good....BB is amazing and Cold, too. But for Scooter is it a personal Song (he wrote this for his mother) und for BB is it just a great Song! So he didnt good the feelings whil he is singing!

  • THIS SUCKS

  • Why??????????????

  • ..I met the band cold last year! Super nice people

  • is better with scooter!!!! ever! and i agree with paralyzingking15 both are really good!

  • this cant be ben wtf.......

  • yeah ur prolly right i was just bein sarcastic, cold is freakin awesome breaking benjamin aint bad niether good pplz

  • LOL!!! @ 1:42

    I agree, covering a song is showing respect. But realizing your cover sucks ass/stop playing the song would show MORE respect.

  • I say its a good cover, but that is just my opinion.

  • this is awesome..ur dumbasses who say anything rather..breaking benjamin and cold are my two all time favorite bands and always will be..cold does it better of course..they wrote it..but BB does a great job also.

  • is he trying to mock scooter? wats with the vocals, some1 tell me this is a joke...an awful awful joke

  • @tomz456 He's trying to emulate scooter, cause the riffs/melody are too hard for him in his normal voice, atleast thats what I reckon.

  • I agree with the people that say he is trying to sound like Scooter.

    He is trying to hard.

    You can't cover COLD.

    They're original

    I love both of these bands, but negative.

  • @paralyzingking15 thats Ben's voice lol. he covered Godsmack pretty good. his vocals can some what match up to Sully as well as Scooter. not all time. but here yes

  • @paralyzingking15 You're so right you definately cannot cover COLD because scooters voice is his own... COLD is just amaxing but this is still a good cover

  • @paralyzingking15

    agreed

  • @paralyzingking15 Agreed

  • yEAH i agree scooter sounds the best. from my perception,this song is about a young boy who was scooter himself abandoned by his mother. he sand this song to dedicate to his own mom,i heard it from a concert clip. is that true? he must have a sense of fear about abandonment.

  • @paralyzingking15 I am pretty sure Aaron Lewis would have no problem whatsoever covering Cold.

  • considering the sound quality isnt great, this is a great cover.

  • Seriously?

    Sounds like he's trying to sound too much like Scooter.

    Sucks.

    Period.

  • Wow! This is a great cover! Breaking Benjamin should release a complimation album with just covers on it.

  • the drums ruined this.

  • these guys cover a lot of stuff i like, i think its more of tribute to their influences for them than trying to do something new with the songs.

  • OMG thy're perfect to cover this song. Cold's version is fucking amazing, but they're the best second ever.

  • Comment removed

  • lmFao!!!!

    Army for Life though!

  • agree. this one sucks ass big time. colds version is like 5 times better.

  • but to cover a song = respect

  • wouldnt say that. i mean, every donkey could cover a song, but it would suck most of the times. just covering deserves no respect, a cover should catch the mood/message of the original or be a new interpretation of it. in this case, its just a poorly executed cover without any innovation. just my thoughts.

  • Not bad..

    Singer can't quite get it right tho..

  • i love both bands, and this is awesome for a live cover, but scooters voice is hard to imitate. But the point of a cover is not to play it exactly like the original. Look at Hendrix's cover of Bob Dylan's All along the watch tower

  • auch original is a million times better

  • This Doesn't even compare to Colds version. Cold Army 4 Life

  • I agree with Lilith. REALLY good for a live cover. Cold and Breaking Benjamin are 2 of my most favorite bands and it rocks that one did a cover of another's song. Simply awesome

  • @mamatobe04 Totallyyy

  • Not a bad cover, i cant tell if that's delay or re verb on his vocals but i think its a bit to strong for his voice, mind you it sounds live its very good for a live cover if thats the case.

  • this cover is fantastic and i love cold

  • This is a good cover

  • is this for real!!! why would they cover this, cold is way better!!!!!!!!!!

  • i like BB, but this is just sad. besides Scooter wrote this song bout his momma... So idk if this song works 4 breaking benjamin

  • wtf is the "temple"

  • perhaps he means the tempo?

  • This cover sucks ass, the temple is too fast and too much reverb on the mic!

  • not really BB is a really good so is cold but cover wasnt the best maybe if their was a studio version it would be cool

  • This is cool, both great bands.

  • nice!

  • this cover is really good

  • Your both off, he's 6'3"

  • Well of course Cold does it "way better" its their song duh. Also yeah Bens hands look huge...the guys 6'10.

  • hahaha 6'10? you must be tripping balls on acid or something man..

    he's not that big, maybe 6 feet 170lbs.

    lol

  • He is actually 6' 4''

  • he tries a bit too much to sound like Scooter and it comes out sounding weird and mimickey... almost like he's making fun of him. i know it's not what he intended, but...

  • @ kate104 That's exactly what Scooter said. "Is he trying to mock me?"

  • does anyone else think he has huge hands in this picture?

  • i miss sierra swan's voice in the song :( but im fiiiiiiiiiiine... :P

  • one thing i like about breaking benjamin is that THEY DO ALL OF THEIR COVERS LIFE for fuck's sake people why does everyone criticize ppl who make covers so fucking much when usually it's done out of that band's love for the band their covering's music!!! FTW seriously... holy shit

  • i agree man

  • cool

  • wtf? they really shouldnt have... i like BB but i love cold and they fucked it up

  • As far as covers go this could have been horrible, its not bad, musically they nailed it, lyrically BB changed it a bit but still seem to be able to convey the same strength of emotion.

  • The singer from cold changing his voice in pitch during this song more it's pretty noticable. Decent dover though. Breaking Benhamin has the slot of my 3rd favorite rock song with 'Evil Angel'.

  • the guys are good... but still Cold does it way better..

  • that was good. i wasnt expecting that, they werent so good when i saw them live

  • Good!

  • I Love Breaking Benjamin And COLD He Did A Good Job Covering!!

  • Sounds like I'm hearing his voice through a fan... lol decent cover though, nice job guys...

  • easy guys!! I'm old, from FL, and have been a SERIOUS Cold fan since conception! but this isn't a bad cover!.. No One (pun intended) can do this song better than Scooter, but this is the best cover I've heard so far!!

  • cold and florida ftw!!!!

  • @ididcramsmom if this is the best you cover you've seen so far then check out Cold"No One"(cover) by GatitushLatino His voice is good and really unique and the instruments sound different than COLD's version and there better sounding that this cover version.

  • The totally messed up the beginning.. but.. i guess its ok... hes not the best singer...

  • yeah not on this but if you listen to his songs and some other covers out there, he is amazing. for example Blow me Away or Unknown Soldier just to mention only 2 of all of his amazing songs (lol I'm a huge BB fan)

  • yeah i've never heard those songs. But i dont know i kinda agree with the guy that said no one could do it better than scooter and yeah i'm mainly focused on the guitars... lol but its an ok cover.

  • ...definetly not the best cover song I've heard, but it's not the worst either!!

  • are they deliberately butcherin a amazin song. utter cack

  • Breaking Benjamin do a cold cover...

    waaw good good

  • good song, i love both bands. obviously its a little better when COLD does it

  • is there anyone who has got this song sung by COLD and no fucking covers?!

  • he doesn't feel the song the same way scooter does. feeling is a large part of any song.

  • this is a very good cover of a very good COLD song ... Im presuming this is live or demo quality

  • This song was on the movie A walk to remember with Shane West and Mandy Moore.

  • sounds a lot like Cold

  • I'm 30- and not really into these new (lack-luster) bands, but this is actually a talented band! I've been a SERIOUS COLD fan since their conception (i'm from FL.) and i have to say that this is a pretty good cover! Hard to copy Scooter!..

  • Sounds good...but he's no Scooter.

  • I don't think he is trying to be Scooter, genius.

  • I roadied for these guys a few years ago for a show they had at a small club, setting up and tearing down their equipment and shit. They sounded pretty good but they were a bunch of fuckin pricks!

  • sure you did

  • Nope, true story.

  • I LOVE IT:)

  • Okay. Fuckers, a cover song means that you play a song that someone else plays and you play it so it sounds like the original. Ben did a fucking unbelievable job, so blow it out your asses. Didn't your moms teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say about someone than don't say it at all?

  • Actually most cover songs are meant to be whatever band doing the cover's interpretation of the original. Examples? Find "Paint it Black" by GOB, "Anyway You Want It" by Rise Against ... any song by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes, any of Manson's covers, "In The Air Tonight" by Nonpoint, "Land of Confusion" by Disturbed.. those songs maintain aspects of the originals while being interpreted in a new way.. this, is just a band doing a direct imitation, right down to Ward's vocal style.

  • its hard not to do it Cold style....its already perfect..why mess with it? lol...

    but very well said my friend..very well said...

    cheers!

  • eh, the cover is alright. he should have sang regular instead of trying to imitate the guise voice. it sounds a little cheese when he tries to copy him.

  • :) :)

  • i rememeber seeing breaking benjamin open up for cold and godsmack, weird to hear them cover a cold song.

  • pretty cool cover

  • Not sure if there's enough reverb on the lead singer's voice, lol. Seems like he is a representative for what I call 'earls and airs' syndrome. (see below)

    For example, sing these lyrics in his style :

    "this world" (NO!)

    "this w'earrrrrrl" (YES! Really drag out the 'earl' part)

    "we're paired" (NO!)

    "we're pairrrrrhhhhh" (YES! Really drag out the 'air' part; the more 'air' the better.

    The singer from 7Mary3 has this syndrome really bad; and it's contagious. Poor Ben.

  • thats how the lead singer from cold does it ass face, and it sounds pretty sick.

    so really you should be giving him respect for being able to do such a good fucking cover.

  • stfu u cunt. if you cant appreciate good music then FUCK OFF!

  • fuuuck yoou

  • you gotta remember Bens just a kid in this song, this is like 2002.

  • Ok so he doesnt sound like scooter big deal. Breaking Benjamin is my fav band and Cold is my 2nd fav. So to me this is fuckin awesome lol!

  • dude, i'm fucking seeing them next wensday! and seether.

  • i saw them with seether and three days grace in detroit. I was amazing!!!!

  • i've heard this band before, and their vocalist is actualy very good..in this song he was trying to imitate scooter ward, honestly he did a pretty good job...and cold still f-n rules, just for the record!...

  • as the music goes it's fine and near perfect.

    but man

    the guys vocals are terrible and i'm writing message as fast as i can possibly type just so that i don't have to hear his terrible voice

  • Think this was when he had influenza. Or was sick I dont remember :P
