  • Go chevelle...NO COMPETITION!!! Pete is a genius!!!

  • Love both bands but ben burnley and breaking benjamin are better

  • Man I can see you obviously like chevelle better but in my opinion they are much better than bb like because by live is like all electronic

  • In my own opinion, I think CheVelle > BB. To be honest, I don't even really like BB, there is something about them that I don't like.

  • Ben excelles on every level.. Riffing and vocals.. Plus you should have matched Bend the Bracket to You... They are more similar than Forget It.. Plus I thing Away was more suitable to compete with Mexican Sun

  • Pete Vocals. Ben Riff.

  • i really wish breaking benjamin was still a functioning band. with all this crap with copyright or whatever it is, and ben's health issues, they're such a good band, but can't do much at the moment, which sucks...

  • i believe that chevelle wins in a heartbeat!!! there's NO competition! i mean, chevelle has a more variety in types of music. they dont ALL sound the same. i mean yeah, breaking benjamin is a good band, but i only like some songs by them. i think chevelle wins WHATSOEVER!!!!! theres no competition. i mean, millions of fans love them including me. pete's just a better songwriter.

  • Ben on vocals his voice removes me from reality... But so does the music by Pete. My vote does to Ben though he's way better live

  • Pete hands down... listen to the song indifference by chevelle its a bonus track to hats off to the bull tell me that's not fucking great singing

  • pete is a god king

  • Chevelle > Breaking Benji

  • Well you gotta remember that Ben's backing up (or used to back up) Aaron. Pete basically IS Chevelle, he absolutely bosses it up playing heavy riffs and screaming at the same time. Then again, I think Ben is a better song writer. I can't give a vote -- can we agree that both are kick-ass?

  • I fuckin love ben and breaking benjamin and I love pete and chevelle as well I thinks ben is has a depper voice and pete has a powerful voice I really fuckin love both of them a song of ben with chevelle or pete with breaking benjamin would be the greatest thing for me both at the same imte in the same song ... It is a tie for me I just cant decide ...

  • Pete Loeffler without a doubt...his vocals are amazing and he writes the best lyrics in mainstream rock today hands down

  • I sense stupidity in the top comments.

  • I love both bands, these two are my favorites. I just feel like Petes lyrics are deeper.... Both have awesome riffs... Ben's voice kinda gets to me sometimes...in some of his songs the change in the pitch of his voice can bug me once in a while.  CHEVELLE WINS!!!

  • I love both, Chevlle music reminds me of tool, and breaking benjamin got so cool voice and riffs that made me rock out, i love the new chevelle album, but i hate the hiatus of BB !

  • chevelle

  • Ben is a fucking asshole and Pete is overall a better person. My vote is Chevelle.... this is coming from a Wilkes Barre, PA native...

  • breaking benjamin win

  • chevelle

  • 2 of my top 6 bands, but I gotta say, Chevelle's riffs and Pete's voice have definitely pulled me in and addicted me far more than Breaking Benjamin and Bens voice.

  • I like both bands but Chevelle wins in my opinion.

  • Breaking Benjamin wins. Ben is the greatest singer ever, not the greatest guitar player, but listen to the raw power in emotion in his voice, and how amazing his lyrics are and his ability to string words together. Chevelle is the same boring stuff in every song. Ben wins.

  • @Bludhoundz8 Pete is a way better singer than ben and hes way better live and lyrically speaking chevelle is the top of the foodchain. Pete wins hands down

  • @chuckydombroski There are 23 other people in the top comments that agree with me. In any case, Pete doesn't even come close to Ben, lyrically, or in talent.

  • @Bludhoundz8 okay you have to admit theyre both very talented musicians and singers. Lyrically there is no denying pete is the hands down winner in that category.

  • @chuckydombroski Lets just agree to disagree. They are both very talented singers and guitarists, yes, but I still say Ben is the better song writer by far, so theres no point in continuing to argue about it

  • BB uses more voice effects, and Pete still wins in category of "voice power". That being said both of these bands are fucking amazing. Chevelle FTW!!!

  • Pete is sooooo much better live than ben

  • I have to say that I like both, but it was really no contest, ben wins. just hearing his voice gives me he chills, he is electrifying.

  • pete is a fucking artsy-metal powerhouse who knows exactly what he's doing. bb made the mistake of letting his music fall prey to radio bullshit.

  • Chevelle kicks soo much ass! Clearly the winner is Pete! He's is so lyrically and vocally dynamic!

  • CHEVELLE HANDS DOWN. Pete is the shit.

  • Although, I enjoy both bands a lot, Chevelle for me wins it. Pete's lyrics are far more superior.

  • bb seems to have SLIGHTLY fallen victim to the mainstream rock outlet... cheVelle are still around today, with their signature melodic, somewhat progressive tool-influenced (yes i said it lol) rock sound. when bb comes on the radio, it seems to blend in with alot of the other mainstream bands out there. although chevy has evolved alot since the wonder whats nxt/this type of thinking days, when they come on the radio, u kno its them - and thats all due to pete's creative genius. love em both tho!

  • haha! but seriously, music is not a competetion!!

  • Pete's fucking hot.

  • I vote pete!! Hes in a three piece band....ya can't hide mistakes like BB does....

    There's no comparison in a live show.....

    

  • Tie....they're both amazing singers/songwriters! I'm glad Chevelle is still rockin' out and wish BB was still together. I hope Ben is healthy enough to put out some more music.

  • All around Chevelle is the better band. Pete has more creative genius and clearly makes music because it runs in his blood and he loves it. BB has some epic singles. Diary of Jane. So cold. Enough said. But some of their music sounds forced. Like its been written because they're contracted, not because they FEEL it.

    Still love them, but Chevelle wins.

  • well ive always liked Ben, but i recently got into listening to Pete vocals and riffs (since Breaking Ben broke up :( anyway, i still think Ben wins for sure

  • Pete ftw

  • Pete & Chevelle hands down, especially live!

  • pete all the way

    

  • PETE SCREW THAT WANNA BE...PETE GOES HARDCORE

  • pete. his voice is more melodic and he has better riffs. both are amazing!!!

  • Also, i am an adimant listener of Chevelle And Breaking, and there is just no comparison, Ben is a fantastic songwriter, an amazing vocalist. Chevelle is just sort of the gray area in music, its there, its nice to listen to it, i have their music. but rarely have i ever just thought "i want to listen to Chevelle now" i can listen to any given breaking benjamin album through and through and get something out of it. not a track skipped, i cannot do this with Chevelle

  • Ben blows pete away in raw vocal power. he can do shit with his voice that would leave pete hoarse and coughing.

  • IMO; Power of the Riffs: Pete's riffs are a lot more creative and raw; Ben's riffs are hard, but at moment sounds uncreative. Point to Pete. Power of the Voice: Both have their pros and cons: great on studio, but regular at live. Draw Power of the Single: The first was really hard, but to me The Red it's a little better than Polyamorous. Point to Pete Vitamin R > So Cold. Point to Pete Well Enough Alone < The Diary of Jane. Point to Ben Jars < I will Not Bow. Point to Ben PETE 3-BEN 2 PETE WINS!
  • @DB15covers I agree with almost everything you said, especially the fact that Ben's riffs can sound old. But I strongly feel that I Will Not Bow is not a better song than Jars. I Will Not Bow is lyrically unoriginal and conveys the same tone and feel as songs from all of BB's older albums. It's perfect for a high school athlete trying to get pumped up before a game, but it's just not creative at all. Jars's lyrics stimulates way deeper thinking and deeper emotion than I Will Not Bow.

  • I love Ben but Pete's voice is more intense...Fuck voice ever!

  • Ben Burnley.<3

  • Pete

  • Pete all around, though Ben has more vocal ability

  • Ben wins!

  • ben wins! I dont know the other guy :S

  • Comment removed

  • I Hope end with this comparison... Ben Burnley is better song-writter, (songs w/deeper meaning) Ben has a Better Voice (way too much), Aaron has better Riffs and also they have Mark James a SUPER awesome bass player, and Chad a SUPER Drummer...

    If you've heard a song from BB... and a song form Chev... you can tell the diference.

  • BEN <3

  • pete all the way, better writer and singer

  • but i choose ben

  • crash of the titans...

  • Ben has a Better voicee ???? You gotta be fucking bullshitting

  • BB sucks. Pete wins with Chevelle. They have that TOOL and Helmet sound. Pete all the fucking way!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Pete is the most amazing when it comes to injecting raw emotion into his songs.

  • Pete for president!

  • Pete all the way..

  • PEEEETTTE! i like bb to but their songs can get a little too poppy and sappy. i have NEVER heard a bad song from chevelle and i have all their albums including their demo and basement tapes :) CHEVELLE FTW!

  • Comment removed

  • pete is better

  • Wtf ?! BEN ALL THE WAY

  • Ben.

    

  • These guys are both great with riffs and lyrics. Personally though,although neither is better than the other, I like Pete's taste a bit more. Just keep in mind, if you're focused on which riffs are better, remember that Ben gets help considering there's 2 guitarists in BB, unlike Chevelle where Pete is the only guitarist and sometimes even writes the bass lines.

  • dont even joke, Ben is GOD

  • what the fuck is wrong with you people. these two guys are the sex, screw you all and this video for trying to decide whose better. <3

  • BEN.

    

  • ben

  • Pete

    

  • BB's riff and Ben voice are so much better, ben have a Hyper powerful voice BEN WINS!!!

  • Pete

  • Pete

  • Tie. both are pretty awesome!

  • Ben all the way!!!!

  • Both are great, but.....CHEVELLE!!! u rock Pete

  • Pete wins all hands down

  • I like BB but i LOOOVE Chevelle so go pete! Besides chevelle is better.

  • I like BB but LOOOVE Chevelle so go pete! Besides chevelle is better.

  • i. just. cant. choose......

  • ben burnley wins

  • ben

    

  • BEN !!

    Ben is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better on the guitar , the acoustic songs version that ben does alone show how AWESOME can ben play the guitar , all in all Ben Is Fuckin AMAZING !!

    BB forever

  • My vote has to go to Pete, but Ben still is a great vocalist. Also, who do you think the better drummer is? Sam loeffler or Chad Szeliga? personally, i'd have to go with Sammy

  • @CheVelle12494 you are right with pete being the better vocalist, thats a given if you listen to any of the albums or live performances, but in terms of drummer skills chad wins hands down no contest, he is a proffessional jazz fusion drummer by nature, and the chops he can lay down (when he isnt playing for breaking benjamin) beat most rock drummers out there. not dissing sammy though coz he has an epic style and both drummers are a huge influence on me :3

  • Ben... that is all

  • BEN!!

  • I genuinely enjoy both bands. But I feel Chevelle has a significant edge. especially if you look at BB new album which I thought was just decent

  • ben is a slightly better vocallist i think, but chevelle has better music a more heavy sound and deeper more complex themes. Chevelle all the way but not to dis another good band

  • This video is like like trying to compare chocolate or vanilla cake to me. I like them both. But im gonna go with ben just because breaking benjamin was the band I listend to during my incredibly emotional teenage years.

  • Pete Loeffler

  • Argh this is like trying to choose between cake and pie.

  • their both awesome in there own right

  • PETE ROCKS <3

  • (2nd comment...)

    Although I have to give Pete credit for being the only guitarist in Chevelle...

  • I go with ben Hands Down! Have you guys really payed attention to the guys voice ... pete gives ben a good comp but still ben hands down... not even a question

  • @SyscoKid01 Right, but Ben only plays rhythm. Its so much easier with two guitarists.

  • love both bands, but I have to go with pete. His lyrics are so much deeper, and his voice is just amazing live. I've seen both bands, breaking benjamin is a bit flashier, chevelle is a bit more direct, but incredible to experience.

  • Pete.

  • I'm going with Pete over Ben, but I'd still love to see BOTH on tour. I do have to hand the fact to Ben that Breaking Benjamin has done a single for Halo 2...

  • I'm going with Pete over Ben, but I'd still love to see BOTH on tour.

  • pete is better, pete = chevelle, he has a better voice(Pete has a unique voice), sings and plays always,ben not,

    ben depends on the musicians,ben is only part of breaking benjamin,Pete is certainly better than ben.

    My vote is for Pete.

  • Benjamin all the way.

    (Idk why I said "Benjamin"...)

  • ben definitely

  • Hey everyone, it's going to be really hard to keep track of the numbers from this point because of all the activity, so if you want the exact number of votes, count them!

  • Pete! His voice is WAY better

  • Pete Pete Pete! His guitar riffs are way more powerful! :)

  • ben

  • Pete! Chevelle is the best. Bar none!

  • BEN ALL THE WAY

  • BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Bend the Bracket vocals and Forget It comparsion was an odd one.

    Mexican Sun! I wake up every morning to that chorus from my alarm, it's powerful despite it's meaning! Love So Cold by BB, good song. You should of put some guitar from Wonder What's Next or maybe Another Know It All in here, really good songs.

    Still, have to give it to Pete.

  • @SimplyNoah Oh. I know. But there are not really any acoustic songs by bb. Except rain and doj. Forget it is closer and def better

  • Count me in for PETE LOEFFLER :D

  • Ben has a WAY better voice =]

  • BEN IS THE BEST!!!!!!

  • I can't decide between them lol. They're both amazing and their voices are beautiful:)

  • I can't decide between them lol. They're both amazing and their voices are beautiful:)

  • I can't decide between them lol. They're both amazing:)

  • Ben.

  • BEN IS THE BEST!!

  • Ben, no doubt.

  • Pete all the way.

  • As Solo Artist

    Pete : 10

    Ben : 9

    As a Band

    Chevelle : 9

    Breakin Benjamin : 10

  • Pete: 16 Ben: 14

  • pete

  • i vote for ben

  • Ben Burnley kicks ass!!!!

  • Ben Burnley vs Pete Loeffler it will be a tie

  • Comment removed

  • I LOVE BOTH THESE GUYS! But Ben is by far the superior. Ben gets my vote. Hes a better songwritter and composer. All day.

  • Peter Pedro Loeffler without a doubt.

  • BEN!!

  • My vote: PETE! PETE! PETE! PETE! Hope he's still winning.

  • His songs may not have as strong lyrics as Pete's, but Ben is amazing and I've been following Breaking Benjamin since the beginning. I love Chevelle, but all-in-all Breaking Benjamin is the best band of all time (my opinion, so no hateful comments please)...

  • Ben owna. ç_ç

  • Comment removed

  • i would say pete wins but bens not far from him!

  • PETE LOEFFLER FTW! I can never get enough of Pete. ^_^ I saw Chevelle live at the Carnival of Madness: their raw sound carried them far above all of the other bands. <3

  • Good comparison... Love them both. But if you are talking about a "powerful riff", BB has a Lead guirtarist (Aaron Fink). Where Chevelle only has Pete. So in that case Pete deffinitly holds his own.... It's Pete all the way.

  • BEN!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pete: 10 Ben: 7

  • @breakingbenjamin4020 Pete: 11 Ben: 7

  • Pete. Hands down. I have seen both live and Pete is the better musician and vocalist. He constantly plays the guitar, while Ben relies on Aaron Fink to carry the performance until the chorus.

  • Ben doesn't even compare to Pete, and at least Chevelle is consistent.

  • No comparison really. I like BB but in a Pete vs. Ben Pete owns this own. Pete plays all the time during live shows as Ben only plays backup. Also Pete is 2nd only to Maynard of TOOL when it comes to vocal range. He also has way more energy on stage during live shows. No comparison. PETE!!!!!

  • @bradymoss50 Pete: 8 Ben: 7

  • @bradymoss50 Pete cant scream live. Bens has the best live scream ever.

  • @bbfreak9 thts right !! ben has a one of a kind voice!!

  • You can't compare apples to oranges,each musician has their own qualities that make them for who they are and what they capable of doing.

    Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour vs Ivan Moody of Motograter and Five Finger Death Punch

  • @wmc128 yeah i understand that its just that these guys are so similar and everyone who likes chevelle likes bb and vice versa pretty much. Its just cool to finally have a side by side comparison. I tried my hardest to use even, similarly sounding and set up songs

  • @breakingbenjamin4020 and people can express their opinions on the subject as well. there are tons of people who try to find a reason to bring this up and now they do

  • my 2 favorite bands, and i've seen both live. both a great writers, in different ways. ben can write a song and you know exactly why it was written, pete can take an abstract idea and write a song about it. i think pete is a way better guitarist. ben is still great, but he plays rhythm. pete is everything for chevelle. also, ben doesn't play as much while singing. pete also writes more diverse riffs. for singles i say they tie, all great songs. for 2009 singles, i give pete the edge again. PETE

  • @RedandWhite91 well put

  • Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle are my favorites band. It's great to have this kind of video, not surprising, but I would do it. Great breakingbenjamin4020 :)

    Ok, for me, this two guys are like semi-gods, and no, I'm not exaggerating, it's an opinion.

    But my vote goes for BEN BURNLEY at this time =)

  • @vetexx nice. you should do two other people then. like kevin matisyn and adam gontier. even though adam would win...i think.

  • @breakingbenjamin4020 thats very clever! kevin matisyn ♥ :D I would vote for kevin, even though that adam would win -.- yes... but for me, kevin is another semi-god! hah. oh... no one of them plays guitar.

  • pete loeffler owwwns.... wooooooooo chevellllllle

  • ben all the way

  • ben all the way

  • Pete: 5 Ben: 5
