Breaking Benjamin - Polyamorous (Live 2001)

[gravytrain84]

That looks like the stage at Cousin's in Hazelton. I saw them play there a few times before they went national. I could be wrong but it looks familiar. And that's Bug on bass. Were you at this show or did you get this video secondhand? Thanks for posting by the way, brings back good memories.

[SDADSDSFDSGDA]

What/! What is he singing? The second verse is the same tho. Im loving Ben plaing a Fender telecaster that's not his style anymore! Doesn't seem like the type of guitar you'd use for this genre. Is he wearing fantastic 4 t-shirt ha?!

[ddrumdude]

@heavyweightshepherds Mark and Aaron actually joined BB in 2001

[DeadStarsShine]

Lyrics sound different, first band that I actually like all of their songs!

[MetalInstrumentals]

TELECASTERS KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!! BEN ROCKS!!!!!!!

[MrBaselT]

he said THIS NEXT SONG is called Polyamorous, and in Water video, he said THIS NEXT SONG is called Water, so is there any other songs he played at that time??

[parocks]

@MrBaselT it's my tape, someone took the realvideo off my other site that has been online for longer than youtube has been around.  I have the whole set, as I recall. They played at least a few covers. Rage against the machine, Killing in the Name of I think is on the tape. This was before they really started to get Wilkes-Barre airplay. The album came out the next year. I might reenocode the polyamorous and the water from the original DV.

[jakeoneofakind]

by god. he looks like hes 10 feet tall

[candynick9]

A lot of bands get worse and worse the older they get but I have to say I think Breaking benjamin just get better and better as the years come

[Avzzor]

@candynick9 no...

[ilovexD195]

wow..that was cute xD

[lostnfoundnever]

ok there was a cd self titled and self released! Only 2000 copies of it released sometime in 2001 CD songs ~ home ~ no games ~ next to nothing ~ medicate ~ polyamorus ~ natural life ~ water ~ forever ~ simple design ~ shallowbay ~ sugarcoat ~ phase and away! I have a copy of this audio concert it is fabulous and most of the songs are different than when released on Saturate in 2002 and We are not Alone..Amazing how artists conform to what the music industry wants them 2sound like after sign-n

[Shaddler6strings]

@lostnfoundnever I only have 5 tracks from that EP. would you mind sharing if I PM you my email?

[MrBaselT]

wait a min!! he said "the next song is called Polyamorous" and during Water he said "the next song is called water: so des that mean he sang other songs?

[parocks]

@MrBaselT yes, breaking benjamin played a 45 minute set that night, a mix of covers and originals.

[rambo9791]

i never seen ben with that guitar...is that his oldest one ??

[ThePatMoran]

Was he like on drugs or something, he looks crazy the whole time he's performing, even the damn bassist xD

[mechdrew97]

@ThePatMoran  drunk

[FLOATING6]

this is not 2001 and the lyrics are gay lol

[Avzzor]

@FLOATING6 yes it is and grow up kiddo

[schmidgetman0079]

man its amazing. who would think that in just a few years he would be playin in arenas with 9000 people watching... inspiring.. im gonna go write a song now haha

[Spydr2000]

wow that is some classic footage! in the raw.. these guys were amazing and some clubs owners didn't want to give them a chance.. Point being club owners are stupid a**es and don't know a thing about good music!

[newborn54]

he was pissed thats why. during the "saturate" period he had really bad drinking problems. the song "forget it" is about it apparently

[CasualDudeFromHELL]

Does anyone know who the guy is at 2:10? I've seen some band pictures of him with Ben and Jeremy but he's not Mark or Aaron.

[delamist]

thats "bug" price he was the bassist before mark

[rockindrummerbreakin]

man, that guy is more spaced than mark  XD

[CasualDudeFromHELL]

I love this! Breaking Benjamin forever.

[NickelbacksNo1fan]

is it just me or did he mess up the whole first verse?

[CasualDudeFromHELL]

No, the early version of the song had different lyrics.

[mechdrew97]

@NickelbacksNo1fan  drunk

[ItalianShinja]

Beautiful!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥

[Grakbonedust]

Looks a bit pilled out to me.

[MrsBurnley18]

he is soooo into this performance. every Benhead needs to see this. this video = raw perfection.

[facez420]

This video is legendary

[loveh3arts]

also at 1:21

[facez420]

i wonder what ben did, that smile at 1:00 is pretty big LOL

[loveh3arts]

hahaha. i love it!!!

[NickelbacksNo1fan]

someone prolly flashed him

[facez420]

lol aebarclay, deffinitly priceless

[ms80kyle]

why did he use different lyrics

[poopedstatue]

i like the part at 2:37 i loved that scream!

[wow188888]

LOL Ben's face 1:19 -1:32! Its so adorable cuz hes so into this performance! haha his whole demeanor is different now tht they're famous. Back then he was trying to sell =D lol i still love him tho! <3

[Avzzor]

@wow188888 yeah I know. he has sold out very much. BB are just sell out.s their first album was magic, everything after Phobia was shit

[tattoodude3985]

FUCKING AMAZING!!!

[benhoward1]

this must been when they first got started wow how did you get this?

[parocks]

@benhoward1 he got it from webmusicvideo . com back in the day, this video has been around for a while.

I have the original tape of the whole set in DV. Lots of covers

[doodsz4666]

damn!!!! he actually has da body of a 17 or 18 year old

[fob1012er]

He was mumbling at the first verse then his voice gets soft then loud.

[JimmyJabHD]

thats because that was polyamorous's original lyrics,

[ThisSaturatedMind]

heavyweightshepards, you're right except Jeremy Hummel left (or you could say got kicked out) in 2004. This is one of their better performances, at least on youtube. They were good on Jimmy Kimmel, The late show and Fuse.

[kiddrama93]

ok he was either really happy really drunk or really high when he did this performance...its adorable how goofy he is!!! lol

[aebarclay]

Lmfao his face at 1:00. Priceless

[Snurre231]

this is before breaking benjamin was formed, as aaron and mark aint there yet, so it's probably Bens and Jeremys old band before breaking benjamin, since ben wrote almost the whole saturate album before they made BB

[MTCAreYouReady]

the guitar intro is played without the use of a distortion pedal. The album version is so much better.

[TheFishHasExploded]

I soooooo wish I had known about them back then. Freakin' awesome band.

[OneUnluckyDucky]

Thank god they changed the lyrics! The recent version is way better then this. :D Still a awsome song. Always will be.

[maqto]

hey i noticed changed lyrics on beggining...so how it was sounds then?i cant get it with vid unfortunately

[Angelofmusicerik]

I dont really like it live.. but yay breaking benjamin

[JimmyJabHD]

at the begining those where the old lyrics to the song just in case anyone was woundering

[BBforLIFE69]

I think this is earlier that 2001

[metalmaniac11]

OMG hes playing a fucking Telecaster!

[jmd11185]

@metalmaniac11 he rocks that telecaster! God I love his stage presence in this shit..Its crazy but real. Way better then now days. I wish we had more then just this and water from this concert.

[dragoneye4212]

man most the time his just mubbling.... it's really funny tho

[dragoneye4212]

he makes the funnyest face when he sings! i love it!

[ohyeahkoolaid44]

its 1999

[DilutedJuice]

This is atleast early 2001 if not earlier.

[gudevilnm]

wht the hell is ben singing this is not polyamorouse lyrics

[AfterMath4lyfe]

Those were the old lyrics to the song, before they put i t on Saturate

[MentalityBand]

You got it right, buddy.

These lyrics were from their first demo album the sent to Island Records, before re-writing and releasing Polyamorous on Saturate.

[BBforLIFE69]

well no duh the song wasnt complete yet at the time this video was taken
