  • Think if Avenged Sevenfold did a cover of this, it would be friggin amazing

  • I certainly doesn't amount to Freddie's, but it's a pretty good cover, and there are rarely any good covers of anything out there.

  • @KeiferLirette Freddie's sucks cow balls.

  • @Samukeekers Are you freaking serious?

  • @KeiferLirette Oh yeah, dead serious.

  • @Samukeekers Do you have like, an impaired sense of music?

  • @KeiferLirette No, i just know what sounds good and what doesn't.

  • I love the original, I'm a major queen fan, but this is BEYOND epic, it's just so awesome.

  • MY EARS!!!!!!

  • Note to all: Why do people have to be rude about a song? If you don't like it push dislike and go on about your business. You don't have to fight over something that stupid its a waste of time and space. All its going to do is get people hyped up and they will say shit they don't mean.... Pointless is all i have to say. But people aren't going to stop because they like the attention it gets them.

  • I prefer this version……. <3

  • Ben doesnt sound "better" nor does Freddie. They are in different genres so there is no point in comparing them. Now, this song, in my opinion is better than the original. And this is my opinion and everyone thinks differently.

  • I know this video will likely be filled with breaking benjamin's fans but i'm just gonna throw it out there anyway.. This tribute is kind of insulting to the original.

  • @HomicidalEntity So makign a tribute is insulting to the original how? I'm a huge Queen fan and not a Breaking Benjamin fan and this cover is alright. This is absolutely not an insult to Queen. Seriously your either trolling or you want attention badly.

  • @lululemon123321 When a band like "breaking benjamin" thinks that they are worthy enough to not only remake a classic song made by the greatest band in history, but put their own crappy twist on it, it's very insulting. I think that every remake on that album was dreadful, if you want to cover a song, especially a Queen song, you should do it right, not douche it up with your own style. I suppose you like the Bicycle Race cover by "Be Your Own Pet" too, right? You can keep your attention.

  • @HomicidalEntity This is a tribute, tribute means an act, statement, or gift that is intended to show gratitude, respect, or admiration. So showing respect, gratitude and admiration is insulting to Queen? Do you think someone has to be WORTHY to make a cover of Queen? In no way have they showed anything in which they were trying to show their superiority to Queen. Your logic is extremely flawed and I'm guessing it's people like you who encourage elitist idelogies. (Last time I'm responding)

  • @lululemon123321 Actually, when an album is put together with random artists all 'remixing' classic songs from queen, it's done for money. If you think otherwise than you are a naive sheltered douchebag. These talentless ass clowns along with about 15 others, were told to remix a song and offered money to do it. So you can keep thinking it's a tribute and as far as this being your last time responding goes, why the fuck did you respond in the first place? You knowledge lacking prick.

  • @HomicidalEntity You don't know if this was done for money. And i highly doubt that Ben (the singer) would do it for money. He actually fired two members of the band because they let a remix happen behind his back just for the money. So i doubt he gives a shit about the money. And saying that these guys are talantless ass clowns, that is just stupid and immature.

  • @Joyotax I apologize for insulting this band, it was the heat of the moment. These guys aren't my cup of tea but that doesn't mean that they suck.

  • @HomicidalEntity To assume that all artists, even some, record tribute albums for money is incredibly ignorant. Oh, I'm sure some do, and I'm sure others just see it as an honor and do it because they're heavly influenced by the band.

  • @Vault474 LoL bro relax, I was so fucked up when I commented on this I don't even remember doing it.

  • does anyone else find it ironic that BB covers this song, yet their own song "forever" asks the question "can i stay alive forever?" :)

  • @MegJ326

    isn't that Saturate? :P

  • Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

  • what's even sadder is that i didn't know this was a cover. lol well i like this song so maybe i'll listen to the original too.

  • For my taste Ben just has one of the greatest voices ever... For me its even better than freddies

  • @Creeeeemi Agreed!

  • awesome song

  • this version is much better than queens

  • @TheShadow2ninja I respectfully disagree, my good sir/ma'am. But I will say it is amazing.

  • only 127,810 views? I watched this more than that.

  • BREAKING BENJAMIN OWNS!

  • BB made it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

  • Queen is wayy better than BB, but this cover certainly comes close to being equal. Both are great bands and once i heard this song by BB... mind. blown.

  • @avenger308 Same here. There is nothing better that the original version, but Breaking Benjamin did Queen justice by making this brilliant tribute. You can really feel the passion at 1:30 :)

  • okay, so i freaking love the original, and i usually hate remakes, but oh my god ben.....his voice :3

  • great version of this song!

  • I like this one better than the original.

  • Only Freddie! :)

  • Benjamin Burnley has the greatest voice since Freddie Mercury #FATE

  • i love BB's version ten times more!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!! <33333333 Probably the best song I've heard =^..^=

  • This song is to perfect. =] 

  • This is awesome, but theres nothing like the original. Kinda sad that when you look up this song breaking benjamin comes up before queen. xP

  • @nickizzo5 Wow... I didn't even realize that. That IS kind of sad.

  • @nickizzo5 i looked it up and one the first page: NO breaking benjaimin.... so just queen, x-factor and kitty

  • @nickizzo5 actually it doesn't. at least not anymore ;)

  • @nickizzo5 Really? when I searched it, this wasn't until the second page. The original was the whole first page.

  • So, this song is pretty much awesome. I've listened to it about 5 times today. XD

  • @darence123z @Bloddthirstprince It's growing on me a bit. I still don't think it comes close to the quality of the original whatsoever... but I do appreciate that they tried to do something different with it instead of trying to make it sound exactly like the original.

  • they made justice to the song in their own style, not like other bands that ruin the songs

  • this is version is outstanding

  • I'm not sure how I feel about this. I don't like the arrangement at all... takes away all the subtly and power of the original tune, and replaces it with generic modern rock. But the vocal performance is very good, so I can't quite dislike it either.

  • @JesusBeardBryant Well actually they made in their style, alt rock style, and they did it pretty well...

  • Vocally not even close to Freddy, let alone Sarah Brightman's version but still an interesting rock version being a huge fan of BB.

  • One of those rare times when I enjoy the cover more than the original. 

  • It's an amazing cover he did everything right he knew he can't sing like Freddie mercury so he took it to his own way and made it his own.

    EPIC

  • I'm going to hunt down whoever disliked this video, and punch them in the neck.

  • I don't like this cover... It takes away the tendernes of the song. They tried to make it too much rock or punk rock or whatever. It was always meant to be a tender ballad and nothing more. It was written by a rock band but not as rock music. This is too much. I hate this really...

  • @winnetouch hey man no offense but FUCK YOU, you clearly dont know what real rock is because that is rock 100% the real kind not the fake type posers try to do now.

  • @MrStealsalotGuy Why wouldn't I know what real rock is? Because I don't like this? Get you're head out of your ass, stop being such a fanboy and learn to take criticism. Breaking Benjamin aren't bad but I dont like this cover. Queen were trully the princes of the universe and compared to them BB look like posers.

  • @winnetouch B ben is better than any of these princesses u call good they truly have the best songs and fans ever.

  • @KingTomahawker HAHAHA! Look... You obviously don't have a clue. I respect that you like BB but don't talk nonsense. Queen are almost singlehandadly responsible for almost half of the rock bands that came after them. Foo fighters, guns n' roses, metallica, etc. They all took inspiration from Queen. Freddie Mercury was the best singer that ever lived and all other band members were masters of their craft. You obviously don't even know who Queen are so I think you should shut up...

  • @winnetouch queens not any good its time for the student to be the masters

  • @KingTomahawker Pffft... Freddie would never take up such a studnet :P He had standards :P

  • @winnetouch Ben atleast didnt make crazy songs

  • @KingTomahawker Look I don't know if you reallize it but you are comapring BB (a band that will be forgoten by most in 20 years) to a band that's still remembered even though they released their last studio album in 1995. Queen revolutionised the music industry because of their "crazy" songs. What did BB do that was so revolutionary? Absolutley nothing. I'm not saying they don't have talent, but don't compare them to a band that's been inducted in to every hall of fame I can think of.

  • @winnetouch BB will never be forgotten.

  • @LeahSkillman Ah you fan boys :P I respect your opinion bit come on... You can't be serius. BB will never be forgotten? Let's se if you'll remember this comment in 20 years time and reply to it since you'll never forget BB that revolutionised the music industry (sarcasm BTW). If I'll go to any Justin Bieber video all the fanboys and girls will be saying the same but we all know that's not true :P

  • Oh my Lord, this song is the best cover I've heard yet!

  • well i have to give it to the guys, not bad... but you can not improve perfection and King Mercury was that perfection... still not bad !!

  • well i have o give it to the guys, not bad... but you can not improve perfection and King Mercury was that perfection... still not bad !!

  • WOW...the Queen version is gorgeous. This cover is AMAZING!

    Ben, you have broken my heart in the best way possible. <3 This must be played when I die.

  • 1. i cried this song just amazing

    2. ben your voice is just wow amazing

    3. queen your lyrics just captivate me

    4 this song is my funeral song >w<

    all in all THIS IS AN AMAZING SONG <3

  • queen will be forever alive!here is the proof :)

  • queen 's versions in slower . I like Ben's version

  • If you think Ben sounds better than Freddie than your ears are certifiably deficient, that being said this is one of the best covers of any band and any song I've ever heard. Very very good!

  • @Draukagrissah Indeed. They're about equal.

  • @Draukagrissah i think he is  better and my ears are not "certifiably deficient,"

  • @Draukagrissah i think he is better and my ears are not "certifiably deficient,"

  • @Draukagrissah BB sounds *far* better than Queen, IMO. That said, I prefer the original version of most songs (over covers of them), and this song is no exception.

  • @Draukagrissah nobody cares what you think dude. grow up.

  • @Draukagrissah Freddie is a better singer, and Queen is a better band, no doubt, but i prefer Breaking Benjamin

  • @Draukagrissah yes ben is better and by the way UR EARS GOT A FUCKING PROBLEM

  • @2tocoolDUH uh..no. This is a decent cover, but it is in NO way 'better', and I'm pretty damn sure Ben would agree that he in no way compares to Freddy...and I love BB.

  • @ZiddersRooFurry he would (as a respect) but THERE IS NO VOICE IN THE WORLD LIKE BEN'S EVEN FREDDY .. maybe u r old school boy (or girl) . .. so dude relax thetz what i think and believe as well .. ben reached my heart freddy reached urz ..end of the case -_-

  • @Draukagrissah mabye Ben sounds better by modern terms, but as far as Freddie's time, He was the best

  • @Draukagrissah Well said!

  • is there something that better then ben's voice ? and the whole band is epic..

  • @Avi4Sa Yep, Freddie's voice :D.

  • AMAZING...!

  • This song gives me chills down my spine. Ben Burnley is amazing. This song makes me wanna cry <3 kudos to queen

  • 2:15 - proof that ben has the best voice in today's rock

  • This song is amazing. :P

    And anyway, this isn't meant to be better than the original, its a tribute, Breaking Benjamin's version of an amazing song.

    If you don't like it, don't listen. And to be perfectly honest, I actually do like this better than the original, that doesn't mean I don't still think Queen was an awesome band. >.<

  • 1:35. Mind blown :D

  • A passionate singer, awesome band and a legendary song. A true tribute. Queen will live on through this song.

  • unbeleiveable.ben has the best voice in any rock band ive ever heard.amazing

  • i want to live foreveeeer...or at least after..:P JK .. yeah this song will stay really forever..pretty good done, but i love it more in original version ,Freddie will live forever like this song..

  • Love this. perfect balance of Ben's soft yet still intense singing and great lead guitar. I hope in their next album ( if it ever happens :/) they combine Bens vocals from Dear Agony and the music style of We Are Not Alone, or Phobia.

    We will miss you Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski

  • @RabidBaggin there's gonna be a new album coming out around mid August. This song will be included, too. You should read about it at shallow bay, it'll say alot about it. :D

  • i could never listen on my mobile the ending, because i allways clicked replay befor the end beginns

  • O.O I LOVE IT!

  • @daveb188 Nah, its actually pretty good. 

  • @bigben055 Nope, they did a pretty good job.

  • @forknspon Amen (same thing on your other post too ^^ down with the haters

  • @bigben055

    I actually think Queen will be pretty proud of Ben-They did do an awesome job :D

  • in a depression all i have is Breaking Benjamin and i couldn't be happier :(

  • this version is flat out amazing:) freddy is thinking hell yeah these guys actually sounds pretty dam decent :)

  • His music will be forever!

  • DEATH = TOTAL FREEDOM 

  • FUCK! I SURE AS HELL DONT WANT TO LIVE FOREVER!

  • This cover is just absolutely amazing. I can't stop listening to it. And I hate Queen.

  • I love it.

  • 9I'm sorry to say but I have lost all my love for Breaking Benjamin. You don't fuck with Queen. Ever. EVER!!!!!!!!! Freddy Mercury is rolling in his grave right now.

  • @TheBelleV I think Freddie would like this.............

  • @ythinder i think not......prolly choking in his grave on this shitty rendition

    :(

  • @TheBelleV they only did a cover chill out

  • @TheBelleV He doesn't have a grave.

    >n>

    he was cremated 

  • One of the BEST Queen cover I've ever heard...I think..

  • People....I love the original version and the BB cover are both amazingly wonderful.....I love the original because the low music and Freddie's voice work magic when they are in synch...however, I like guitars and deep voices and I think Ben merges in a lot of emotions and melody into the song... so I prefer this version, it's unrealistic to say that it's a 'terrible' version, cause it's not...it's probably one of the best-so accept it and lets just all enjoy the awesomeness of this song :) x

  • Oh dear god... I tried listen it to the end but... I like Breaking Benjamin, but this is EPIC failure...

  • @DrusillaMorwinyon why? i actually like it alot better than the original tbh ( probs will get flamed for sayin that:P)

  • @LilJdaSilva It's not singed bad, but they lost atmosphere that original had.

  • @DrusillaMorwinyon thats ur oppinion m8, i myself for example feel alot better wehn listening to this version than to the original - but if u like it better thats just ur taste cant argue about taste

  • Breaking Benjamin is a great band, it is a shame that you can only buy the the phobia album on Itunes.

  • Any voice in the world can't be compared to Freddie's voice, but Ben do this cover very well!

    Breaking benjamin :D

  • @lance43 good for you, doesnt change the fact that it happened and the rest of us like it

  • @bRonni100 Thats grand. I just wanted to voice my opinion.

  • @lance43 ok, sounds good, wont argue against  that

  • well... it's... fantastic. I normally don't like any covers, especially Queen covers, but this is beautiful. great work.

  • I love Breaking Benjamin even more now that they did a Queen song X)

  • This cover is amazing. 

  • Queen sang this song WAYY to slow and soft Love bens cover

  • i like this better than the original lolz.....i love his voice its so sexy :D

  • @dysphazia

    there is someting (or somebody) what (who) sucks,but its not the cover or band... :)

  • @Kelldarek your opinion entirely if you like the band or not, i was giving my opinion to the music kinda lame to call down on me for having an opinion, you dont even know who i am.

  • @dysphazia then why did you look up this video?

  • @ratedrkorox because someone said check this out. why is it one guy says something negative about a song an everyone gives him shiit. what happened to having an opinion. sheesh

  • @dysphazia i hate it when people look up a video just to insult it. YOU TROLL!

  • @jhar226 i hate when people assume. i dont spend my day being a troll someone said check this vid out so i did and it sucks. ya moron.

  • @dysphazia I hate when people can't just CALMLY say they don't like this

  • @jhar226 dude i tried saying this song isn't good and i got dumped on by a bunch attitude for having an opinion

  • @dysphazia You're entitled to your opinion, but I have to ask... if you don't like this cover, why'd you bother listening to it? And what's more, commenting on it?

    Having an opinion of your own is fine. But you could be a bit more respectful and keep it to yourself.

  • @themanofmanycreasybs

    'if you don't like this cover, why'd you bother listening to it?'

    Well he'd kind of have to listen to it in order to establish whether he likes it or not....

    But this is an amazing cover :D

    They should come out of Hiatus -___-

  • @dysphazia

    don't say that the song isn't good...cuz it's a fucking awesome cover....

    rephrase and say that YOU don't like it...maybe then you ain't gunna get dumped by a bunch of people....cuz yes there's a difference between dislike and good and becuz u're being rude.

    simple.

  • people need to realise that covers are not supposed to be the same as the original.

  • I live how hardcore fans always criticize covers......

    

  • This is a good cover, but it doesn't really compare to the original song. Hard to match that epicness

  • just bought 5 minutes ago. o_O

  • O_O i will wait for ever anyway

  • 2:38 equals the best part of the song....idkk why, it just feels like ben and the backing vocals have so much emotion in their voices, i love it.

  • I was listening to this with headphones, and those ** sounds after the songs scared the hell out of me!

  • freddy is dead...haha my bad. queen is dead. BB is the new standard rock on fellas

  • @1982nachodisease Are you a retard? You don't laugh at someone because they died? Also Queen arnt dead they are still one of the most listened to bands of all time? There music has sold world wide in the millions! You cant compare BB to Queen, they have a differant style in music? BB did this cover out of love for Queen? They covered one of the best songs of all time in my opinion and they did it justice..

  • Get well soon Ben god bless

  • Just like the guy under me I was searching for the original version, but I really like Breaking Benjamin! He is awesome!

  • was searching for the original and stumbled across this version!

    Breaking Benjamin is one of my alltime favorite bands, allthough nothing beats the original version this one come damn close!

  • Like with most songs nothing is as good than the original but this one is damn close!

  • queen post-grunge version O:

  • I dont like people covering queen songs cos they always fuk it up. Thank you BB for not fuking this one.

  • Covering an epic song like this is simply useless. BB are a good band, although nothing can even reach the amount of talent Freddie had.
