@hayleyrockstar25 yes a lawsuit. aaron and mark supposedly made the cover of Blow me Away without his permission so he sues them. it's about money and the rights for the names (Breaking Benjamin, Shallowbay, etc.)
Why the hell is everyone so damn stupid, " oh noes they broke up forevers and ever boohoo" look shit up, which wouldn't take more then 30 seconds, hell even wikipedia would tell you they are still gonna go on, when i heard the first thing I did was google around and gather info from sites. Seriously almost all the breaking benjamin videos has some whiner going on about the band being done.
Hey everybody, check out the Breaking Benjamin website and you will see a post from Ben that goes something like this:
Hey everyone, Benjamin here. I am officially letting everyone know that Breaking Benjamin has NOT broken up! This is just a false rumor that has unfortunately spread.
I am taking some time off from touring to further address some health issues that I have been dealing with for some years now which has been posted previously on the shallow bay website.
everyone, go to the shallowbay website, (bb official website) ben says himself that the band isnt breaking up, hes just dealing with a lawsuit right now.
@1990wkyle no they're on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. Part of it because Benjamin fired band members Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski for releasing the new version of Blow Me Away without his consent. I think the hiatus is also due to Ben's health.
@trolliamnot ehh, i'd rather have him as an uncle, think about it, he'd prob. be gone for months at a time while touring, and he also has had a smoking a drinking prob. in the past, note: to annoying youtube readers i said in the past, and the uncle bond would be pretty strong as well, (goal of this comment: to make at least 5 ppl smile)
@LukeAndCorey yea, made a good theam song For Run Like Hell( witch is a game made for the origanal Xbox) that game got me into Breaking Benjamin so if that game was never made i wouldnt have ever heared this band. I am very glad i played that game.
i personally do not like this version n bens voice sounds gay... breaking bens one fo my fave bands but... this dissapoints me... n here comes ppl bitchen about the comment :D
2:49 = the best thing to happen to this remake of the song! lol i think he did a really good job remaking this song and that part with his voice is so sweet! haha
hey be4 i get a stream of haterz, i actually doont mind the acoustic versions of the original songs though not as much. i think in the acousitc, you can feel more emotion. I will say this tho. blow me away with Valora? no wonder ben fired Mark and Aaron
A part of me has died, if Breaking Benjamin is no longer together what else is there? They're by far my favorite band, and I need more music from the REAL Breaking Ben. I want to thank Benjamin for breaking my fucking musical heart. :(
@Danni293 Aaron and (i think) Mark left the band before Ben could recover. Ben was pissed when he heard about it and when they said they'd come back when he was better, Ben let them go and the band (so I believe) went into hibernation to awake later to, if I may, Blow us all away once more <3
@Danni293 Oh. I didn't like that version either =/ I've heard 4 stories now. The one I told, the one you told, that Ben was dying and would never recover, and that Ben was recovering but his ego got too big and decided to screw them over. Personally, if the stories lean towards Aaron and Mark then I think it's them, not Ben. Shame though, I hope they find replacements for them and continue in their good time. They'll move onto (no pun intended) better days =)
@Danni293 They're just on hiatus, they haven't broken up... or at least if they have, it hasn't been announced. all this was due to ben having some kind of health issue.
@Danni293 Well, no doubt they were a huge part of the band, but the band itself is not broken up totally. Also, I truly believe it's not too bad, for it's Ben's unique voice and music writing ability that makes the band what it truly is. But it is a big loss though.
@bblinson sorry :/ It breaks my heart knowing they've split up. Breaking Benjamin still goes on (Ben, Chad and whoever they find to replace Aaron and Mark) but it will never be the same.
@ipodluigi505 Yeah, Ben and Chad... But let's not forget that it was Aaron who brought the style of Breaking Benjamin to the band, sure Ben can get new players to emulate Aaron's playing style, but it won't be the same! Even if you go back to Lifer you can still hear Aaron's style of playing... I'm almost scared to know what will come from my favorite band now that my favorite guitar player is gone...
@Danni293 I agree with you completely. I have to disagree on one thing, Ben can't find anybody to emulate Aaron's style. Nobody can replace Aaron, which I am sure you know. Lol. Ben is by far my favorite out of pretty much every band out there, he's such an idol, but without Aaron or Mark?? BB will never be the same.
@imthedeadlycracka There not breaking up, but two of them got fired. It was stated that as soon as Ben's lawsuit is over he will continue to make music.
Now he just needs to find 2 replacements.. Which will be hard to do.
@yourit311 He was referencing the story of how BB got their name when performing a Nirvana cover, and Ben broke the mic, and the owner of the club said, playfully, "I want to thank Benjamin for breaking my fucking mic!" If that wasn't what he was referencing, then it was one hell of a coincidence I'm glad I pointed out. ^_^
@Shiek200 Right on the nose... That's exactly what I was referencing. Not many people read the Wikis on bands... I also know that Rise Against started as a Chicago band known as "Transistor" before they got big...
@Danni293 If you want my opinion they needed a change Ben makes that band what it is. Everyone else just kinda plays off him he really needed a new lead guitarist and a bassist that didn't take the easy route. Don't get me wrong I love BB they just started getting repetitive to the point where I could mix lyrics from two different song's together. The REAL breaking Benjamin is Benjamin Burnley and I for one respect and trust his decision. New blood = new BB new BB = awesomeness.
@Danni293 Listen to Chevelle. They're my favorite band, along with Breaking Benjamin. Although Chevelle has more metal in it than Breaking Benjamin, they're along similar lines.
@MrWhynot26 The point is not that the band is gonna go on, the point is it won't be the same! Even in Lifer you can still hear the Breaking Benjamin style. Why? Because of Aaron Fink. Without Aaron and Mark, Breaking Benjamin is just Benjamin and the Wannabees.
@Danni293 Trust me, it won't be much different. How do you think they survived with only Ben, Johnathan "Bug" Price, Jeremy Hummel, and Al Thomas? They'll be probably better than Aaron and Mark and not as dumb as they were. You know how many times Aaron and Mark threatened to leave before Ben fired them? Aaron hated how Ben got all the fame. Same as Mark, but they left it alone for a while. Then, they thought they'd get popular by doing a remix of "Blow Me Away," or is that just my assumption???
@sykotikANGELnymph Hmm, that's weird. I heard that Ben was just an egotistical man who cared more about fame and fortune than he did his own fans. (By the fact that he would skip out on meet and greets, cancel shows because he was"sick" etc.)
@masterlegacy1 Yeah true, and I'll definitely still listen to them. Just sucks because Aaron was the reason I started playing guitar. He's so versatile and talented.
@sykotikANGELnymph They did it only in the interest of the band... not to get fame, the issue they had was been got mad that they didn't even ask his permission, but out of the 4 of them Mark and Aaron made 50% of the song, and Ben only has 25% so it seems hardly fair. Ben needs to just forgive them and get over it. Yes the song is bad, but only because it features Valora. The song itself is still good...
@m0nst3r509 Everyone needs to stop these Justin Bieber comments, what did the kid ever do to you? I don't like him, but I am not going to degrade a 16 year old on the internet because he is paid to sing songs.
@MrKonradman Well unless Ben gets his head out of his ass and brings Mark and Aaron back idk how much better the music will be, Take Blow Me Away featuring Valora if they keep that up I'll die of shame.
@Malikian You know why Blow Me Away with Valora was made? Because Mark and Aaron sold the rights to the song in the first place without even talking to Ben or Chad. They sold it off in May, and the remix was released in June. It's their fault it exists in the first place. Quit acting like they're innocent.
@TehDeminz Easy killer. I'll admit that I didn't know that. So if it's their fault then damn them. DAMN THE REMIX. I love Breaking Benjamin but that is the worst thing they've ever let be released, I would would accept a duet with 50cent over that (no maybe not 50) but Eminem for sure.
