  • @Xxed6arxX Definitely! ^_^

  • Nice shirt there ben

  • I got to this song from tales of the past the death of yimo

  • This is a great remake. (: But I have to say, Ben's shirt is awesome too.

  • 25 peoples doesnt want to live forever

  • Totally sucks that they broke up. But bb you guys still got it, even tho you split... :(

  • @cntbhappyatall345 Technically not a break up-Ben sacked the lead guitarist and bassist over several issues, including the remix of Blow Me Away that was done without Ben's permission.

    He's suing them for $250000 and exclusive use of the band name. Soon as the lawsuit is over, He's planning on carrying on with the band.

  • @Urchie2009 But that won't be till after the lawsuit (forgot to add that in my last comment...sorry -.-')

    On a related note-this was a pretty decent cover.

  • It is a well done remake. Best one from that cd

  • For me this version Is better than the original, just a great tribute.

  • @LnGuitarist it's good but it's not that good.

  • @EarthNaturalHealth thay did and out standing job you have poor taste in music to knot know that this is a masterpeace

  • @8178tim how do you know my taste in music ? i wonder...

  • Comment removed

  • I Just Had Some Really Bad News from My Fiancee to This Song But i Remember When I was A Kid Lisening To Queens Version Of This On The Radio And Well Somehow It Put A Smile On My Face Knowing In the End I'll Always Have Her And She'll Have Me And It Will All Be Ok....Just Breaking Benjamin Thanks You Always Seem To Save Me HaHa XD

  • Cool @@@@@ luv that gr.

  • lol ben has a stewie top on ><

  • 9 times out of 10 the original is better than any cover. 9 times out of 10 the cover has better sound quality than the original (modern recording equipment and techniques versus now out-dated ones). This is my favorite modern band, not the best band, and they have plenty of average songs, but for whatever reason they are my favorite. This is a good cover, and yes the auto-tune is noticeable (he was suffering a lung infection), but if you look up his acoustic "solo" performance, he is really good

  • ben, you have such an amazing voice. I'm so glad you guys are back<3

  • is saD T_T

  • @CSanford2009 + klaudiaVonSexter thank you :)

  • Cool story bro

  • No one ever could cover such a great song as the Queen one. This song is soulness. I hate.

  • Breaking Benjamin the best ever ! My favorite band EVERRRR! <3

  • i agreed with your info i too love this version better it has more of that rock flow to it but queen is still good indeed no doubt about that

  • Where can I get this song? If anyone can help that would b gr8 thanx

  • @chippychips79 just find a youtube converter, and then you can convert the link into mp3, and download it from there (:

  • This cover is so badass!

  • Love the song really warming.

  • I love his angelic voice in this one........I love Breaking Benjamin, listend to EVERY song by them, i love them so.......

  • i personally like queen better.just because i like slower songs.but breaking bejamin did a good job,saying as i dont even like rock..well modern rock.

  • Gotta be kidding me queens is actually emotional this one is just dry and boring! Queen does it best!!

  • @DoomTrooperSDMF Fan boy. Speaking as someone who loves both queen and breaking benjamin I can't see your problem.

  • i just realized burnley is wearing a stewie griffin t-shirt.. my life is now complete.

  • This cover is way better then the orginal.

  • @iNinaXx344 You my friend are delusional.

  • Anyone else notice he has a stewie shirt underneath his epic jacket?

  • 1:38 so ready for him to kick it up a notch........fuck. Still great song

  • @cooleathan I'm kinda glad he didn't, I like it this way :3

  • so was geil

    ich würde sagen geiler als das von queen

  • To be honest, I love both versions of the song. They both do a different take on it, which I like. I mean, would it really be as good if they did the same thing Freddie had done? Both versions are very haunting and absolutely stunning. Live long Queen and Breaking Benjamin. <3

  • Made me sick 

  • Freddie and Stewie would be proud . I really like this version, more up to date. the Queen version was for awesome ... for that decade, but this version is TRULY AWE INSPIRING ! Capt. AWESOME would salute this version !

  • Stewie!

    Not only is Ben an amazing musician with a powerful voice, he's awesome and funny as hell haha! Hope you get better soon Ben!

  • Great! Great! Great! Super f**kin awesome!! I love Breaking Benjamin, and this song is totally badass!!! They did an awesome job on this song, yay!

  • OMG! I would die if this band didn't exist, but i should stfu, i'm here for the song <3

  • One word can describe this song; Glorious.

  • he has such a gift in his voice that he could take just about anything and make it a masterpice..he can control each note of his voice so perfectly..damn..they always have and always will be my favorite band of all time..every song on every album is a 10 out of 10..including the bonus tracks

  • Comment removed

  • Freddie Mercury would be so proud...

  • @Xxed6arxX Freddie Mercury didn't write the song.

  • @THECOOLESTKIDTHEREIS who wrote this song originally im trying to track it down but i cant find it

  • @THECOOLESTKIDTHEREIS nvm, i feel like a fucking idiot, it was written by brian may

  • Não sabia que esta musica era do Queen, que o Breaking Benjamin tinha regravado

  • LOL! Stewie shirt !!! :D <3

  • Great cover! Was intrigued when I saw they had done this. Better than I expected. Always like this song as a fan of the original Highlander movie. Breaking Benjamin, freaking awesome!!!

  • Quite possibly one of my all-time favorite covers. One of the many reasons this is my favorite band.

  • Thumbs up if this song are... f**king beautiful :D

  • LOLHIGHLANDER

  • Comment removed

  • awsome song :D

  • So beautiful <3

  • wow, so awesome, it's becoming scary

  • Best cover I've heard in like 15 years. If they knew how many people loved it, maybe they would do it live more if at all. @breakingqueengrace: I agree with you, both did great on the song, you definitely can't knock the originals but at the same time, I reach for BB more. If you have heard the other songs on the Killer Queen Tribute album though, you would have to say they were sucky interpretations....BB excluded, of course.

  • Amazing

    BB did a great cover

  • Obviously the original is the best but I think it is awesome that the newer generation of rockers is taking note of some of these great songs and introducing them to kids who otherwise might not have ever heard them and appreciate them. They by far did not destroy this song. Thanks!

  • Right so this is my fave Queen song and I am hearing a cover version of it... I can easily be cynical but I did listen to the song the whole way thorugh and the song does manage to pick up towards the end. But of course its no where near as good as the origional, but not a bad attempt.

    As far as Queen covers go Metallica's version of Stone Cold Crazy is still the best :)

  • I have to say. I love Queen and I usually DO NOT like covers by other bands since they rarely do them justice. This and sum 41 did an exceptional job and really amazed me :).

  • man this is the best breaking benjamin song ever makes you fell alot....... :_)

  • Family Guy t-shirt, lol?

  • @range567W poor you man, they're fantastic

  • @ange567W poor you man, they're fantastic

  • hope benjamin burnley gets better soon

  • Oh....my...gosh

    Im speachless

    it's just to beautiful

    i can just float away while listeing to this.

    Got it on my phone and everything ^^

    LUV YOU BREAKING BENJAMIN 4EVER

  • @xxxxxLittleMiss Not sure if it went through last time.. but where did you get the ringtone? I've looking everywhere.

  • @Asavar420

    well,

    I put this song into

    Video2mp3

    ( pasted the link into the box)

    And it convertes it ( downloads it)

    Onto your computer,

    then i gues you knwo the rest

  • ive never even heard of this band

  • @range567W than be happy to hear of them now ;)

    They're goddamn awesome, all of their stuff is really great you really should listen more to them ;D

  • I <3 the Stewie shirt :D

  • Its a good cover, really good in fact.. But if youve heard Freddys singing to this song, it sticks.

  • Ben surely sings very well, and Breaking Benjamin DID a very good cover, but Freddie's voice is simply the most amazing man's voice I have ever heard...

  • my absolute favorite Queen song of all time and Breaking Benjamin definitely did this song justice with this remake! Great job guys!

  • I can't say I like it better than Queen's version, but I don't hate it. I do, however, have to give them props...they are taking on a LEGEND in Freddie Mercury, which is very hard...Freddie has a very distinctive sound that is damn hard to duplicate, and they did add in their own flair to make it their own. Overall, not a bad tribute to an incredible band and song.

  • i never saw a cover of the song but this actally is amazing im sure freddy would hav been impresed its a ggod thought with it aswell

  • this version sucks

  • @poopinmair The only thing that sucked was your mom last night. STFU Troll. Both versions rock.

  • @HappyNightmare95 nice joke try to tell a joke that wasnt written by someone else your mom what a faggot

  • @poopinmair stfu dude how does this version suck?

  • @breakingjesus57 horrible singing changed lyrics and the melody is just awful

  • @poopinmair well you have shit in your ears cuz this version is the best

  • freddy makes the song lovely but breaking benjamin makes it EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ben Burnley is the only person whos voice i could see contending with Freddy Mercury. Freddy's voice is cleaner but Ben seems to carry more emotion and can stand out in a song withheavy loud instrumental parts which Freddy I dont think can do very well.

  • it isn´t in the original tone :/ 

  • Great version, Queen and expecially Freddie Mercury is indeed legendary, and their original is classic and fantastic. But Breaking Benjamin just made this song even better!

  • both version are very good queen will always be one of my favorite bands but breakingbenjamin did very well with the cover there no queen but they did indeed make it there own thats wat makes it so great

  • Too amazing for words... :'3

  • the only reason this band has the queen cover is to fool pepole in to buying there cd making you think it s queen...

    ps:this version of this song is a disgrace souns like he s dieing

  • @quimtasas You are just an up-tight fan.

  • @AEvilBagOfChips true i love queen but i think there are other great bands out the like U2 and guns and roses bonjovi i just think that breakink benjamin is not that good his voice is very regular even i can sing like him, and freddy is on a higher level no compatiction can be brought to him.

  • @quimtasas First point: Breaking Benjamin is an amazing band and has alot of respect for other bands, like Godsmack, they also did a cover to one of Godsmack's musics.

    Second point:You are a fraking retarded, do you know what you just said? You made me ROFL so hard, man.

    Third point: Get a life

  • Actually his singing is quite good. The only thing that boggles me is the arrangement. It just doesn't go into those etherial places like the original that makes you think about life and death. The lyrics seemed to come across a little bit rushed as if it is a dance tune. NO!, NO!, NO! I need this song to take me places and it did not delivered. It really sounded like a good karaoke performance and the local sports bar. It's not bad, it's just isn't moving.

  • great cover of a great song

  • the thing that makes this song such a huge and powerful song is the fact that freddie was saying his good byes to the world and his band mates in this song and the show must go on. thats the key point to the song

  • "Who dares to love forever?"

    Freddie will be loved forever, and this cover is fantastic! Period.

  • @The0bviousTroll agreed

  • (sorry for posting twice but it cut off)

    Besides it's a cover and it's meant to be different so who cares if it's an octave lower or it's autotuned slightly. Just remember it's a cover so if you don't like it, go listen to the original and stop making so much fuss over a song (bit hypocritical but whatever you get the point).

  • Ok so I was born in the 90's so this opinion is probably pretty biased. So I'd never heard this song before I heard this song until I heard the cover, and I thought it was pretty awesome. Then I looked at the comments and everyone was arguing and so I checked the original to decide for myself and I honestly like the cover more. But that doesn't matter.

    That said I can see where everyone is coming from because they're both completely different, you have BB and Queen what do you expect. Besides

  • ben is waring a stewie shirt. epic

  • RIP Arrancar Party.

  • The original is better dont say im wrong i love breaking benjamin but nothing can beat the classics

  • Ben Burnley wears Family Guy shirts? win...

  • Wow, really? All these arguments over a song? Are you serious? That's...That's kind of ridiculous. And sad. LISTEN CLOSELY. If you DON'T like the song, just GO AWAY. Look for another. Go to another website. Quite frankly, it doesn't matter, but there's no need to leave your hate here.

    Everyone has their own OPINION (for some of you who seem a little confused about that word, it's emphasized, go look it up, read examples, ect.), but that isn't a reason to go on and on about it.

  • MUSIC'S A ART NOT A CONTEST

    there is no good or bad

    because the ears taste more that the tounge

  • 13 people want to live forever.

  • Fact of the matter is if you truly love and respect a band/song but you don't have to talent to cover the song, you should stay the hell away from it.

    This guy has no where near the range and vocal talent Freddy had and therefore should have left well enough alone.

    "artistic interpretation" is a term often keyed by fanboys of sub-par bands who need an excuse for a cover/song to suck. this is no different.

    Despite multiple chances i give i yet again find myself underwhelmed by this "band".

  • @DelVanity then stop listining to the band if your continuously "underwhelmed" by them. i can figure out if i like a band in about 2 minutes of one of there songs and it takes you multiple chances by them. plus it would suck if a remake of a song sounded the same as the original there wouldnt be a point in listining to one or the other

  • @onesockgamer9 I try to give every group a chance, fact is bands have different styles of songs that they will play and are better at some than others, so by short selling a band on one song really isn't doing them any justice.

    In addition taking a different sound to a song isn't so bad, but if you are so talentless that you have to sing at a lower octave AND auto-tune more than a Taylor Swift song you have no business covering a song. It's disrespectful.

  • @DelVanity That is not a fact, its your opinion. It may be false. My opinion is that this is a phenominal cover. At least BB had the balls to cover such a classic song and I think they nailed it. Id like to see you do better.

  • i adore his shirt! and awesomeness song!!!! =O

  • @TheObviousTroll, What is your problem? You think because your stupid music choices don't compare to the greats that came before you, it makes it okay to go bashing everything? Get a life, and change your dumb-ass screen name. more like TheObviousRetard.

  • the only bad thing about this piece of music is that it is only 3 minutes long.

  • You can't even compare the two songs. Although the lyrics are the same, they are performed very differently and deliver the same message very differently. I have always been a fan of BB, and like their cover, however, Freddy Mercury was a vocal power house, and a difficult act to follow. In my mind, no group can convey the songs message they way Queen did. Nonetheless, I enjoyed BB's version just the same

  • @freyguyproductions You know most major country started using auto tune recently as well as every pop diva ever. If you like this you'll probably be into to those.

    Enjoy and you're welcome.

  • @DelVanity I'm not sure I understand your response. My comment really had nothing to do with auto tuning, and if you actually read it, I favor the original Queen version over this one. I'm curious to know if there was something more to your reply other then sweeping generalizations.

  • haha stewie griffin on bens shirt

  • Its an okay cover.The original ,to me, personally was better than BB's version though.But nonetheless good cover!

  • this song is really sad!

  • this is a nice cover he has a nice voice but freddy mercury's voice is 10x better n queen version is better sorry nuttin like the original

  • I think it's better than the original :) breaking Benjamin is the best

  • @PandaGirl95x

    stfu..please..

  • Comment removed

  • It's funny, I first heard BB in their song "Blow me away" by a coincidence in 2008. It's been my favourite song ever since, sung by the best alternative-rock band there is.

  • ThoughtPatterns, Pinworms70. Its the same song with the same message, only difference is instruments and voice. Also they arent pissing on Freddy's grave. A cover is usually done by a band that admires the previous band. Please grow up and act more mature when talking about things such as thus. And if you want true butchered music go watch Dancing with the stars. If you don't like it do the world a favour and f**k off, we don't need your comments here.

  • I think people are missing the point of a cover song. The whole point of a cover is for a more modern band to perform their own interpretation of a song based on their own style. I personally love both versions, and it's just wrong to say one is horrible or worse than the other. I love Queen and always will, but Breaking Benjamin is also awesome. I might also add that Ben Burnley (lead singer of Breaking Benjamin) has one of the best voices in his own genre, so stop bashing please.

  • @breakingqueengrace Thank you.

  • @RikeyOMFG  np ;)

  • @breakingqueengrace i think this is da best

  • @breakingqueengrace people can talk shit about ben burnley all they want but they should try singing a 5 min song wid a lung infection. dont u agree?

  • no one can reach the depth that freddie cud... lets jus face it all covers will lack tht

  • @The0bviousTroll

    you should listen both singers alive then troll away words

  • @The0bviousTroll Trollin?' I hope so.

  • It's oke, but I miss the power in your voice

  • @ThoughtPatterns LOL Breaking Benjamin has been releasing albums since 2001. I'm pretty sure they aren't just one hit wonders.

  • ist voll schön

  • nice, but freddie's voice gave to this song far more power on the "shouted" and most important parts.. love the music btw

  • torcher to the ears, yeah trolltally^^

    maybe the best version ever played. way more powerful than the original

  • Great !!!!!!!!

  • BB totally wrecked this song, in the best way possible!

  • I absolutely love this song, its just so epic.

  • Stumbled upon this and can only say that this is quite possibly the worse version i have ever heard! It was torcher on the ears

  • @mikesewell2008 it's spelled 'torture' and BB did an amazing job. i do love queen, but u can't be biased in your opinions. learn to balance your points. u can't just say one band is bad just coz u like another band better.

  • @anjiviper i like BB but this is shit and i never said about liking any bands version better then this, im just stating fact.

  • @mikesewell2008 It is very hard to make cover of this song! This is great !!!!

  • @anjiviper ill learn to spell if you learn to read

  • @mikesewell2008 if u can't even spell such a simple word, then there's no point in talking to you. you're just plain stupid. what mariokartmasta5000 said below, applies to you too. have a nice day.

  • If you don't like a band, that's fine. I honestly don't give a crap. But I'm not going to sit here and read your bullshit. Either learn to discern your opinions from fact and use the facts to solidly defend your standpoint, or stop responding. Because if you choose the former and don't stop, then I am. This argument is fast becoming not worth my time.

  • @vegeta2332 Wow... Just wow. Now that I think about it, you've just said the same things several times in a row. Do you just not like BB? That would've been all you had to say. I know who Queen's members are, thank you. I listen to them frequently and enjoy their music very much. I don't know why I'm even bothering to reply to your comments anymore. Your arguments are the most meaningless things I've ever read.

  • @vegeta2332 Also, to continue that, who are you to judge BB's technical skill? They have to have at least SOME skill; otherwise they never would've made it in the market. Besides, most of Queen's songs are centered around the overall meaning of the song, not the musicians' technical prowess.

  • @mariokartmasta5000

    "Besides, most of Queen's songs are centered around the overall meaning of the song, not the musicians' technical prowess."

    go out and ask REAL musician not 20 years band for they have no idea what is (experience ) look.. let me make it simple (not simplistic) BB was created in 1998-12 yr in the business.. the KILLERS - 2002- 8 yr in the industry.. both are Alternative rock . .. I love Alternative rock listen to all new and OLD band.. BB is $hit can not sing a note for jack
