Man, this brings back some of the best memories. From playing Halo 2 to just listening to them on a regular basis. These guys were the first band I got into in my life and since then I have listened to them as a part of an everyday process.
Breaking Benjamin was the first band I ever heard when I was like seven or eight years old. Yes, they're truly the reason for me liking music, listening to it, and even participating in it. Thumbs up if Breaking Ben has affected your life for the positive.
yeah right I don't quite understand what is your problem with ben's voice. Try singing this fucking difficult song at home and then you can criticize his voice and how dead and gone is his "real amazing voice". Come on now I think this is ridiculous.
Man, Ben used to have such a great voice. This is what happens to people after being famous - they start slacking. Still, BB you rock dude (I hope you were better live). If you guys like acoustic stuff, try BoyceAvenue. Just sayin'. <3
@ItsMelbox someone in his life died, hed been diagnosed with a lung illness that people guessed at lung cancer no confirmed source. And he's just got over Wernicke's encephalopathy or possibly still has it not sure, thats something to do with him being a previous alcogolic so take all that into consideration, you gotta say hes pretty damn good :) and yeah boyceavenue do great acoustic covers :) <3
Rest in peace my baby boy Rain James 9/19/09. This song got me through labor and just seemed a fitting name given the circumstances. Thanks for the song.
@TheAftermathWorld nice. i play guitar in a band but i never really thought id need an acoustic. i drum a little but i suck lol. but yeah i hear the first time you use an acoustic your fingers will bleed. my Ibananez RG cost me 400 bucks and it's beautiful.. its the same guitar the Three Days Grace guitarist uses
@evilangelsora yes there is a n acoustic in the original studio ver. but the rest of the band's instraments in this vwersion have to amplify theyr own sound wich makes it an acoustic
i kept replaying on in yea on in yea on in yea like 20 times then the video frose .... i think i broke banjamin.. and aron and mark and chad .... SPEAK TO ME!
Well, you should also see his middle fingers tattoos. One autobot and the other decepticon. Must be a transformer fan. Instead of Linkin Park playing and writing songs for transformers movie, why dont they ask Breaking benjamin?
They actually often use a backup singer and his name is Nick Coyle, but hes just kind of a off and on singer with the band, you can hear his voice in most of the phobia songs.
Rain is the most awesome of awesome songs. Breaking Benjamin is the most perfect band of perfect bands. Breaking Benjamin's acoustic versions is pure, epic, perfection. And Breaking Benjamin performing rain acoustic...oh my...it's just. Too good to be true. Man...I'm speechless.
theres lead singer, because theyre leading the vocals, but then theres lead guitar, cos theyre leading the guitar, not necesrily the leader of the band.
the lead singer is always going to get the most attention cause there the more upfront in the concerts and the one who does all the talking, abviously. but doesn't mean there the leader, tho in this case it pretty much is, but I think the entire band plays that role in this case. but look at Fuel when they had Brett. Brett was the "lead" singer. But not the leader, the guitarist was, the guitarist did all the lyrics and everything. brett just sang them.
i know that but in this case ben is definitely the leader because he mentions that he writes every song at lest 12 drafts before the final version is finished he writes both instrumental and lyrical parts in every song you've ever heard by them he also sets up interviews and even helps manage the band on his own so yeah i'd call that a leader
Chad does his drum thing, Mark does his bass thing, Aaron does his guitar thing. Ben makes his guitar and lyrics thing. I agree with everything else tho.
@BAHchikabowwow Ye I think that too. The other members gotta be able to have something to contribute with, otherwise they'll get tired of it and consider him to be ego. And how would they get such an awesome sound and feeling in every song unless every member makes the song in their own way? Thats what makes a true band.
Exactly. If it was all Ben then they might as well just name it Benjamin Burnley, instead of Breaking Benjamin. And also, if he did all the instrumentals that really wouldn't explain why once Jeremy left, and they got Chad the drums were COMPLETELY changed in a whole new way and style. He might do the rythm parts to the guitar, and he does do all the lyrics but I he doesn't do everything. He has enough to keep him busy as it is lol
