Breaking Benjamin - Fade Away Lesson

[SHYSHILLY]

im getting the same tats on my fingers like thos.. the breaking benjamin logo basically lol on every album cover gonna be badass

[fluffytoaster427]

Hate to be a nerd but...That is a PRS McCarty Hollowbody II Custom baritone. Peizo Pickup in the bridge. Stock Pickup alone wired to toggle switch all the way down, and tone all the way up. Two outputs, one acoustic, one electric. Breaking Benjamin emblem inlays. Phase III locking tuners. And he and the rest of the band run on wireless packs. Ben in particular runs double wireless due to the acoustic and electric signals.

Okay...nerd spasm is over...daily life resumes.

[SHYSHILLY]

@fluffytoaster427 lol right on ! all under a price tag aroung 3 grand ! haha gotta love thos PRS..

[BadApricots]

That's a hollow body, right? Anyway, he's an enormous inspiration to me. Breaking Ben actually got me into playing music.

[MsLadybuggy]

I love his guitar! I want one for sure all I have is an Ibanez and his name is Thunder but I would love to have that guitar and that level of ability and I love Breaking Benjamin of course -3

[Swordmaster1993]

Ben's guitar is awesome!

[Swordmaster1993]

who else thinks this riff is awesome?

[adamscore]

is it drop Bb tuning?

[Bludhoundz8]

Wow, I love how there are BB symbols on the pickup covers and the neck, thats so awesome! Ben Burnley <33

[MrAussieCroat]

I like the Breaking Benjamin symbols on the neck :3

Whose with me?

[GillsFan91]

I WANT THAT GUITAR!!!

[alcimarsousa3]

@GillsFan91 that guitar is 10.000 dolars, is a Paul Reed Smith

[wowfreak141]

Ok people, whatever you think Ben DOES own the song! he writes all of their songs and the band play's them. Ben fired arron and mark because they took his song without him knowing and made money off of it. they basically fucked him over. And ben is sick show some respect ass holes! How the hell is he supposed to go and fire them to their face when he has the sickness to deal with and then those other two assholes decide to make more problems! Ben had every right to do what he did.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@wowfreak141 That comment is blunt but very true I'm with ya bud!

[mocromourad]

Yopu guys suck. He writes all the songs, so the songs are his. They can't just take a song that HE wrote and redo it without his permission. I agree he could've fired them in person instead of e-mail, but as far as the song. It's his.

[pivetlord13]

thanks to ben fucking burnley for firing aaron and mark theres probably gonna be no more breaking ben :(

[SGTCloudrunner]

@pivetlord13 He had good reason to.

[pivetlord13]

@SGTCloudrunner well lets see. while ben was sick. aaron and mark joined lifer for a while. and chad went back to ourafter. mark and aaron decide to redo blow me away a little. ben found out and because he thought he "owned" the song, he was a little bitch and fired them.. by EMAIL!. yea he had good reason didnt he :P ?... he coulda been a man and confronted them and just said "look i dont realy want you guys redoing the song" and they wouldve been alright with it...

[SGTCloudrunner]

@pivetlord13 Ben is the frontman for Breaking Benjamin. Aaron and Mark went and gave permission for the remix of Blow Me Away without first consulting them so yea, he had good reason.

[pivetlord13]

@SGTCloudrunner whatever you say. that was still a bitch move right there. he was bein all greedy. aaron and mark own that song just as much as ben does. he didnt even fire em in person. everybody else ive talked to seems to have the same opinion i do about... i guess we'll just look forward to whatever aaron and mark do in the future...

[ddrumdude]

@pivetlord13 I agree mate. These other idiots clearly don't understand the meaning of being 'part of the band'. And for people who thought he wrote 'all' the songs, in we are not alone and phobia Aaron and Mark both had a very equal share in song participation, and I know that from an interview.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@pivetlord13 Uh He asked them to deliberately not re-release the new Blow me away and I think he had a bloody good reason to fire them after they did something with the song he wrote when he explicitly told them not to just so they could make $150,000 dollars. I think that's pretty selfish.

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA either way, Ben is a coward for avoiding to confront them head on, and he has a notable history for firing people.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Alright yeah maybe it is a bit cowardly for not confronting them in person but at the same time maybe he didn't think they deserved to be confronted in person when it's easier to just mail them. Maybe he had lost that much respect for them I can understand. Yeah Ben fired the original drummer Jeremy Hummell but it's his band so I respect that.

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA Imo I'd say that Ben's the selfish one though: him and Aaron were good friends since high school, Aaron even gave Ben his first guitar lesson. If you've been good mates with someone for that long, you should explain it to them in person at least. And Ben is sick due to many years of alcoholism, which made him not able to go on tour for a year at least. His decisions in the band could therefore be null and void according to their contract.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Well I didn't realise they'd been friends for that long yeah that is a bit bad if you've known someone that long and they're not just your band mates. Yeah that's what Mark and Aaron are saying that cos Ben hasn't been on tour his decisions don't count. Dunno if that's gonna pass in court but I for 1 sure hope not.

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA yeah, it's a pretty depressing situation tbh! A real shame because I've always had a special place in my heart for BB's music, and now they're in a massive court battle! It would be nice if BB could carry on as Ben inteands, but it definitely wouldn't be the same without Aaron and Mark. Btw there's a book out by Aaron's dad about BB's rise to fame. It's called 'Amp'd'. A great book for any BB fan.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Yeah I love the band and I think their music moves me emotionally more than any band. It would be good but no course it won't be the same. Where do you think I could get that book dude?

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA you can get the book from Amazon. The author is Gary Fincke. Most of the book's about Aaron's involvement in a band called lifer, which was a band he and mark were in that got signed before they both moved to BB.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Do I really wanna read a book that's mostly about a band I don't know?! Is it worth it?

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA I'm a fan of Lifer so I found it interesting anyway. I'd say half the book is lifer and the other half is about BB. It's personal preference whether or not you like it.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Right OK well if half is about BB then I might go buy it then I'lll check it out dude!

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

@ddrumdude Also where did u see an interview saying Aaron and Mark had an equal share in writing We are not alone and Phobia cos I'm pretty sure that ain't true.

[ddrumdude]

@SDADSDSFDSGDA Ben is the one who takes the ideas from the whole band have and give the songs coherent structure. I've read this in a few interviews, but the only one I can remember is an Ultimate guitar interview with Aaron enitiled 'the hands and the passion'

[rckr993]

@MikeBlaze901 ON the baritone I think its 16-70

[TalesFreak777]

I. LOVE. HIS. GUITAR.

[rabozzotheclown]

....but it still wasn't a lesson!

[BM270musician]

[jadek061]

@rambo9791 he uses a randall rm50

[jadek061]

@countryband96 no he isn't married it is a ring with the breaking benjamin symbol on it. It's more of a signet ring.

[rambo9791]

what amp does he use ?

[wmc128]

the slowed down version sounded like tool

[countrybrat96]

Is that a wedding ring i see on his finger???

[wadofist]

@countrybrat96

I noticed that too! He didnt strike me as the guy who settles down, but the guy deserves some true happiness after all he's been through in his life

[abcbassabc]

@countrybrat96 not married, but engaged!

[rocklee5x]

i love how he acts cool when he's just a nerd like me!!!!

[mydayofpain]

is that song in the beginning an actual song or just like a riff?

[Deadlezz]

@mydayofpain where you listening or just watching? he says it...even the title says it

[mydayofpain]
