So Cold - Breaking Benjamin Acoustic by Tommy Knox

[lpwjbklyn]

This is a phenomenal cover. What's great about So Cold is that you can take it in so many different directions; I really enjoy the way you went with it. You meld your solos seamlessly into the overall harmony and vibe of the song. And those bends in the verse are TREMENDOUS! Really glad I find your videos, man! They're awesome

[thomasrdurkin]

Ok, I should listen further before I post. Not to damn bad. Brother, you got a voice! Cover more!

I love this song, I just had a question. Are you a baritone?

[dwndak]

Its not terrible... But its not great either.. Its certainly no Jon Pruett.. His covers ROCK... Valid attempt on this.. 10x better then ur .45 cover... 10x....

[krullsk]

You put a really funky twist on Breaking Benjamin. I gotta admit, I didn't like your Breaking Benjamin covers at first but they've really grown on me, keep it up man. You've got a really unique style.

[mishrathium]

Thanks, Sketch

[tommyknox99]

[tommyknox99]

I would! Haha..I'm terrible at doing it..I actually improv a lot of stuff too...I have finger ADD...I'm probably going to post chords though...at the very least!

[XColliRoxX]

that would be fab. i understand how horrible and....hard it is to write tabs though.. its not pleasant. Its just you play guitar so well. i listen to your songs on repeat trying to get the same kinda sound XD

[Shawn215333]

[tommyknox99]

Awesome! I just got your request! Thanks! I'm pumped!

[Stephanie4686]

Nice job Tommy!! This is one of my favorite songs and probably the best cover I've heard!

Kudos!

xoxo ~Stephanie

[tommyknox99]

Yeah! I love the song too...it's so great...I'm honored that you liked it! I'm doing more BB for sure!!!!

[neverforqetmex3]

Haha, you have no idea how many times I tried leaving this comment. Anyway, I meant you should do Jason mraz... so there was nothing more to say. That's what I meant when I said "The End." Any Mraz song would be GREAT :D I saw him live in 2005, and the show was similar to the Java Joe one, it was awesome :D Oh, and the "They changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow" song is the Mraz song I sing in the shower. Haha.

[bigwebb66]

Tommy, the more and more I listen to this song, the better it gets for me. The guitar playing is unreal. The vocals are great, I believe that Ben would dig your version!!!! I do have a question for you though, would you be interested in any co collaboration, I have been writing for a few months now and I have some great song verses, but I really have trouble structuring Choruses. You are a lyrical genus so didn't know if you would be interested or not, if so let me know. Joe

[tommyknox99]

That would be cool Joe! I'd love to get into some team effort stuff....collabs would be a blast!  We should try it!

[misspiggy0512]

Nice work, Tommy!! I like how you're not afraid to try something new.......thanks for giving us songs to listen to and showing us your wonderful talent!!

[tommyknox99]

I'll play anything now! Haha...I've got nothing to lose right? Thank you for sharing in this with me! I hope I can keep you happy!

[johnnydafilmaXD]

Dude again your amazing you did this song justice man keep up on the good work. I listen to you like everyday for hours man your awesome.

[tommyknox99]

Right on! I hope I can keep it going and keep you with me buddy! The support really helps you're awesome!

[SaveOurServer]

great rendition tommy! 5 stars.

[tommyknox99]

Yeah! Thank you! I wish I could rate your comment 5 stars! I'll give you a thumbs up instead! Haha!

[mortenkoch1991]

Nice cover Tommy, but i still love your cover of hootie and the blowfish the most of all, you know there lead singer or old lead singer Darius Rucker - he made a solo song called Learn to live, try that. It could be awesome.

[tommyknox99]

Yeah! That's a good song! I love singing his music...it's a good fit for me!

[xGigyx]

Good to see you're back with even more inspiration and motivation. =)

[tommyknox99]

Yarrrr...I've got a fiery temper! Haha...I'm getting more and more pumped everyday to just straight up kill it! I hope I can keep this going! Keep with me! Haha ;)

[pokerstar56]

OMFG TOMMY thank u so much i told u that ud kill this song i fuckin new it dude i give u 5 gold stars unreal dude lol hit me up

[tommyknox99]

Haha! I'm glad I didn't let you down! I was a little scared!  I feel alot better now! Woo! I'm hittin you up! ;)

[neverforqetmex3]

That's certainly a spelling I've never seen before, so yeah! ;D Oh, that's one of my absolute favorites, because I think just that way. "It takes a night to make it dawn, and it takes a day to make you yawn brother!" Haha.

[tommyknox99]

The End was an interesting request! I was jamming like 5 Mraz songs today because I really want to do one! "Hey...Heyyyy! Something's different in my world today, they changed my traffic sign to a bright yellow!" haha...I love when he does the Java Joe's version of that song and that guy has the vinyl record like an acoustic dj...those looked like fun shows!

[rklomp21]

I'm not a big fan of breaking benjamin. But you make this tune yours and it sounds awesome. Don't lose your heart. It comes through in your music. That makes it real. Even if it is a cover. (DO YOU HAVE TABS FOR YOUR SONGS? ESPECIALLY UMBRELLA BY RIHANNA?)

[tommyknox99]

Yeah! Thank you for the encouragement and I appreciate that you can sense that my heart is in it! I don't have tabs yet...I make all my stuff up by ear and adaptation...I'm working on getting good at making tabs...so I can post them all!

[rklomp21]

Cool. Keep it up. One of these days when I get a webcam you can hear my stuff.

[tommyknox99]

that would be awesome! Definitely tell me when you get it up!

[rklomp21]

Word my nizzle. Or whatever you goofy kids say these days. lol

[rklomp21]

Hmm. I wish I had a good ear. Hope you get some tabs soon. Thanks.

[jcheadle80]

love the BB covers one of my fav bands

[tommyknox99]

They are so awesome I cannot get enough of their music!

[thespacecowboy44]

[jayman2363]

dude what the crap is up with the video on this? lol its all weird lookin! great cover as usual tho bro!

[tommyknox99]

Hahahaha....Jay...I didn't really like how it looked the way I was standing...the angle and all that...so I messed around to goof it up for a change...not something I'm planning on making a habit of doing! Haha ;)

[neverforqetmex3]

This is so great! You learn these songs so extremely fast, it just shows how talented you are :D

[tommyknox99]

Good goooollllyyyy miss Julia Gulia...I definitely can learn by ear so it speed things up...but this was def kind of tough! Gee...you're the bestest ;)

[neverforqetmex3]

Learn by ear? That's so neat. Why thank you, and Julia Gulia is definitely one of my nicknames! Go the Wedding Singer :D

[tommyknox99]

Haha...I knew that was probably too typical :P I'm supposed to be creative! How about Julia Ghoulia! haha....yeah that movie is tiiiight! ;) It takes no time to fall in love! But it takes you years to know what love is!

[NovaWarlock]

another perfectly sick cover, buy a great song. What vid setting was that recorded? Looks awesome

[tommyknox99]

It was an easy setting...I was goofing around...it's sepia tone colored with a threshold effect! Haha...just adding a little weirdness to break it up!

[tommyknox99]

14 is two touchdowns woooo! And my jersey # when I played baseball in 8th grade! Haha

[bigwebb66]

Tommy I can understand your fear in covering So Cold... But my brother you Killed IT!!!!! That was if not the best cover of this song I have heard, it's the top 2 I am still sitting here shaking my head, your guitar playing is sick, and the vocals are in perfect Tommy Knox style. awesome job once again!!! Joe

[tommyknox99]

That's really cool of you to say...BB without the band...the distortion and all that is a challenge for sure! THanks again!

[scottyurfunnylol]

amazing again. u got the tabs? 5/5

[JamesMaltby86]

google :P lol

[tommyknox99]

Lol...yeah...ultimate tabs has about everything a dude could imagine

[tommyknox99]

U know what? I don't have the tabs and the tuning is different...but there are tons online...I used open Em as the chord basis and the Em pentatonic scale for the fills and riffs....C Em for the Chorus....Em pentatonic for the bridge...that's about all I can explain! HAha

[henryforshaw]

we want some gigs man! gigs gigs gigs gigs

[tommyknox99]

I know! I'm totally ready...this spring and summer im gonna get to it big time!

[DannyGrease]

Awesome, man... :-)

Danny

[tommyknox99]

Danny danny! Thanks again my friend!

[luisamusic]

hey tommy, really another great cover! i love this song very much and your version is very very good!! But honestly, I don't like the effect on the virtual part of the video. I rather like to see you and your playing! But youre very talented! keep that up!

Greets from germany, again :P

[tommyknox99]

Thanks so much! I knew that was coming...haha...I just didn't necessarily like how it looked the way it was set up...so I tried effects...just something different...it's still 100% live!

[dysengaged]

absolutely amazing. one of my favourite Breaking Benjamin songs, and you did it so well. 5 stars.

[tommyknox99]

It's a classic BB song totally..I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[tommyknox99]

Hahaha..I was messing around and the take on me effect makes me like a skeleton it's really creepy!

[domobertein]

you may say it makes you look creepy, but i can see you pulling a larry the cable guy, you know where he says hes refusing to do something, but 2 seconds later goes and does it lmao "i otld her i wasnt gonna wear no thong....so i come out of the dressing room with the thong on.." lmao

[twilightheartsx]

fantasticccccccccc

[tommyknox99]

Awesome!  I wanted to sing it with my voice...and not try to sound like Benjamin...he's filthy!

[Infernox00700]

[tommyknox99]

Thank you! You want to download the video? or the song?

[Infernox00700]

5/5 and Faved.

-Tommy 2

[tommyknox99]

I never put any stuff on my vids...I was messing around and I thought it was kind of cool/spooky! Haha...I love BB...they're the absolute best...woooo!
