  • Good until he started singing

  • Love tool....not bad though

  • beggining was GREAT, the rest was horrible, he sounds like a goat, trying to immitate maynard, fucking disgusting ive taken shits that sounded more like sober

  • @bcchronicking hes not trying to imittate him. its a cover by a fan, its not supposed to be the same as the original.

  • I gained respect for Breaking Benjamin. Not many bands have the balls to cover Tool songs. Especially ones like Aenima or Prison Sex.

  • Oh damn they made a cover for this? haha I heard it playing and I was like...this isn't BB but what'ya know. Not bad cover, I'm a real big fan of both Tool and Breaking Benjamin

  • "Warning: This song/video does contain use of language"

    LOLOLOL

  • fuck i mean tool

  • audioslave does this better

  • THIS SONG MADE MY DAY

    I FUCKING LOVE TOOL

    AND I FUCKING LOVE BREAKING BENJAMIN

    Eargasm. (:

  • this will never be as good as tool

  • 4:10.. TOOL.. yeah right xD

  • hahaha his singing ruined the song it sounds like someone is trying to drowned him haha

  • @TheBAallday

    "Trying to drowned him" ....think about that and fix you comment

  • @MrRoss331 sorry his singing hurt my ears so bad that i couldnt spell right. and you sound like a real duesh haha

  • @TheBAallday Well thanks. That makes me feel real good inside.

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHH why why why why why!!!

  • Ok. It's not as good as the original but give them a break. I love Breaking Benjamin but anyone who tries to cover Tool faces the same problem - they're not Tool.

  • Best cover of this song I've heard, but the original still is better. Props to one of my favourite bands covering my absolute favourite band.

  • I prefer it to Tool because I'm not fucking bored to death.

  • @thegarbageboy exactly :)

  • I know all of you guys not talking about Breaking Benjamin like that...

  • Fucking weak.

  • @AgnosDios your fave band is weak

  • No one can cover Tool

  • This a awsome remake but i agree tool is better but this one is harder

  • if someone kills for money here, plz contact me, I want the head of socalkevinz for any price

  • singer cannot sing...

  • @socalkevinz check out their queen cover n then say that u troll

  • wow this is a pretty good cover props to breakin benjamin

    

  • This is the best cover of Tool that I've heard. Not saying that it's as good as the original, but they definitely did better than some of the others.

  • I love both Breaking Benjamin and Tool and I can appreciate that BB at least tried to do a cover. This isn't the best, but Tool is, in all honesty, a very difficult band to cover.

  • PURE SHIT MATEES

  • @Vlokiv Waaah! Someone is covering my favorite band's song and its not 100% accurate. Waaah!

  • I Love Breaking Benjamin So Much! But... Unfortunately this cover doesn't even compare to Tool...nice try guys but the Original is Far Better

  • @Charox5

    sure the original is better, its a Tool song.I want to hear Tool playing The diary of Jane

  • Breaking Benjamin covers Sober? No way! This is my favorite Tool song!

  • ok my friend saw this and he thinks tool should sue breaking benjamin for stealing. one he didnt steal and im guessing he got promission from tool. i love tool and breaking benjamin. i dont really think its not a big deal and i think breaking benjamin did this because they like the song and want people to here the song.

  • @jrptrapt bands are aloud to do covers of other bands' songs without getting an ok from the other band.

  • @jrptrapt then every band who ever had a cover of their song done should sue the band who covered it, if you were to go by your friend's logic. bands cover each other's music all the time. you're right. it's not a big deal. in the world of art, whether it be visual, musical, what have you, it's not stealing/copyright infringement if you take it and "make it your own," meaning you add your own little twist to it, which any normal band will do. bb is influenced by tool, matter of fact.

  • this kind of sucks but its better than any other covers iv herd besides aaron lewis

  • i concur. an amazing bands work has been slaughtered here.

  • hahaha is it just me or does he kinda sound like elvis.... especially in the beginning

  • holy shit thats what i keep saying. the bass sounds so weak. the only cover i appreciated was stains cover. fuck sake if anyone is ganna do a cover of a great band like tool why cant it be another good band?vocals sound sooooo gay

  • i like it...not as good as tool...but 10 out of 10 for trying...

  • For some reason he sounds like Jimmy Morrison in this song...

  • they slaughtered a AMAZING bands awesome song

  • good cover!

  • First off I do like "BB" but I will have to say this. I have seen Tool live and this version of the song doesn't do it justice at all. The instrumentals are good but Maynard is Tool . Valiant attempt BB.

  • This is the best cover version of anyone so far. Even better than BB's attempt on the other Tool songs!! Go Breaking Benjamin!!!!

  • i agree talk. i think its better :)

  • HUGE BB fan. Sadly, not something the singer can pull off. Maynard has a voice that no way can even get close to comparing too. Must agree, bassist did by far the best. A+ for trying though.

  • The bassist did the best out of all of them I think.

  • I love Tool so I was skeptical about this but it isn't that bad. Not as good as the original, I guess the hardest part of covering Tool (aside from complex instrumentation, although this is one of their simpler songs) is the vocals. Maynard has such a distince voice it almost is guaranteed to sound bad when another voice tries Tool. This vocalist was alright.

  • i saw BB last night

  • Does Breaking Benjamin still cover Tool sometimes? I'm seeing them tomorrow

  • This is better than tools in my opinion :)

  • no...

  • Comment removed

  • well I like this one better than Tool!

  • Didn't know I was gonna have to ask this question agian.

    Am I the only one who likes the vocals?

  • man they fucking butchered this

  • Ironically, I don't think Ben was sober while singing this.

  • i agree how can you cover tool?>??? its impossible!~

  • u guys are dumbasses. of course he isnt goning to be able to sing this like tool. tools singer had opera training for his singing. hes got way more knowledge of singin then ben does

  • Then why would he try and cover it?

  • um maybe for the same reason any other band has covered a song...because he likes it

  • @manontheroad fucking right...and who better to cover it than Ben Burnley....Tool is forever...Maynard is a god...FANTASTIC COVER

  • I agree with your statement, but not with your logic. The human voice cannot be replicated, its just impossible. No one can sing *exactly* like someone else

  • the song is amazing, everyone that doens't understand that no one can sing the same way because everyone as a diferent voice, can put they're vocal chords up theyr asses and sing this. if u do it i'l give u guys a cookie, so lesson : start a band and fail miserably

  • wanker, it is shit, totally butchered.

  • it gets on my nerves, some of the comments people are leaving. its a COVER. meaning, another version of a song. and by the sound of it, ben sang this back when he was sick. and who knows? maybe he wasnt sober while singing it. ^.^ so mellow the fuck out.

  • lol they should have left tool alone they can't even understand the meaning of this song dont get me wrong i like breaking benjamin but they can't do tools songs

  • ok dude listen, i know it's your opinion, but seryously, meaning of songs?

    dude, i hope u become a great guitarist and singer so everyone can say to your songs " omg he's videos don't make any sence" and by the way could you explain me the videoclip vicarious? i would like to see that.

  • i love breaking benjamin but honestly i think this song sucks

  • breaking benjamin and tool, what a combo T_T

  • Bass needs to be eq'd, sounds awful.

  • holy fuck people its a fucking cover, its not intended to be EXACTLY like the original, so what if he doesnt soound like Maynard holy fuck just listin to it for what it is. fucking people make me sick

  • sorry who sang this orginally

  • Tool

  • maynard james keenan is the singer

  • This is a really good song, I don't give a shit if he's trying to sound like anyone, the song is damn good.

  • He's not even singing. He's just spitting and drooling syllables.

  • This is terrible. Instead of TRYING to sound like Maynard, why doens't he try to sound like HIMSELF? A cover isn't to play the same song like the orignial band, but to make it your own. The vocals ruin this song on the Benjamin side. I used to respect this band until I heard this garbage. Whine all you want about how I probably can't sing this either. Well, I can probably sing it IN MY OWN WAY!

  • If thats the way you think Maynard sounds.....you need your ears checked out. That doesn't sound anything like maynard, or someone even trying to sound like maynard.

    Sounds like BB to me.

  • I've listened to a lot of BB and this sounds nothing like him. It doesn't sound like Maynard, which is why I said he is TRYING too hard to sound like him.

  • Now that you put it that way I can hear what your saying.

  • this was when his voice was shaky and untrained that's why he sounds this way

  • None of you make sense.

  • This actually isnt BB - its still Aaron Lewis.

  • You're wrong man. That is Breaking Benjamin. They tried to cover aenima and it sounded the same fucking shitty way. Aaron Lewis actually makes the song his own when he covers it and it sounds good.  This shit is horrible.

  • I like this.

  • and tools voice isnt shitty... please, how do u cover shit, well its to play like shit, BB is my fav but def. not tool, i know ben was deeply influenced by tool but thank god his vocals dont show that

  • this is the only thing ive ever heard from breaking benjamin that i disliked (N)

  • Listening to this makes me slowly die.

  • Is there any way to get this song and Enjoy the Silence by Breaking Benjamin?

  • That was pretty bad..... disapointed....

  • i dont like Breaking Benjamin that much, but this is a pretty good cover.

  • The only reason it sounds so 'bad' is because Maynard's voice is trained much better than BB's singer. They're an ok band but they should refrain from singing it..cause hands down only Maynard could blend it all perfectly.

  • Maynard is not the only one who can "blend it all perfectly". Aaron Lewis can sing this song and do an awesome job.

  • For his own songs...yes...yes he is. Aaron lewis is not that good at singing the song because it was MADE for Maynards voice. His style is different and therefore still falls short. I think his voice is too wavy..it doesn't fit the song unless you change the style and therefore strips the origional song somewhat. He is a good singer but not if your singing Tool's songs. It won't sound the same.

  • i understand what kyuubikun is trying to say...maynard is perfect for the song cuz he put his mood into it/feeling unlike BB who sang like someone from the 50's. his voice rly was pretty wavy too i noticed and doesnt come close to the originals.

  • Music's not bad.. Voice.. meh.

  • how could u love a band so much when they butcher Tool's music, the Aenima cover is even worse

  • Deep man deep

    Good band

  • god i fucking love Breaking Benjamin. i dont give a fuck what ppl say... =))) love it...

  • guys calm down breaking benjamin and if u don't like it there is no need to go fuckin disin them. they r the best just cause u can't cope with music that is so good that ure ears and brain can't realise cause u r idiots so if u don't like it don't listen to it duh!!

  • Breaking Benjamin is the best band in the whole world! You guys just can't apriciate good music. I mean if you don't like it then don't listen to it. you don't have to be rude and put your two sence into it. Just don't listen to it. Gosh!

    There are just some mean people. I love Breaking Benjamin. They are amazing. :)))

  • We cna appreciate the fact that they absolutely ruined a song by one of the most skilled bands to ever exist. This guy can't sing.

  • fuck you, you can't sing any better

  • He sounds like a really, really, REALLY drunk Elvis.

  • I thought the idea of a cover was to place your own style on the idea. Otherwise your not doing anything special.

    I actually like this cover :)

  • Did you take your pills for today? Geeeeeeez(us)!

  • wow pms much?

    breaking benjamin is a awesome band.

    calm the fuck down

  • Say it in person motherfucker!!! See what happens!!!

  • The Staind version of this song was great, but breaking benjamin shouldn't really be playing this, it isnt their style at all.

  • dude this fucking awesome ben does some pretty good covers hell the whole band does a good job i mean this isnt their best but still and FUCK U 2 any 1 who says BB is gay or on gay-roids wat the fuck ever

    BB is the best fucking band in the world

    U got a problem with that suk it and bitch about it 2 some one who gives a FUCK about what u have 2 say

  • BB is the best band in the world?? WOW you must live in a fucking cave....listen to this cover!! they probably got the tabs off the internet!! At least when TOOL does a cover they put their own twist on it and don't try to rip it off.

  • Both bands are good...buuuuuut, BB shouldn't cover Tool songs. Ben's voice isn't the best for covers.

  • its like a shitty version of type o negative mixed with h.i.m. on gay-roids

  • lol him doesnty need gay roids hes already gay

  • who's gay, ben isn't gay

  • you're fired

  • Not the best cover, but it was better than any cover I've seen yet. But I think Ben is trying too hard to be like Maynard, when he should sing it like him. Thats what covers are about, making the song your own.

  • Fuck that's terrible....

  • so's your mom

  • i hate this song i like the band breakin benjamin

  • Lets see tool do one of there songs. BB is a great band, my favorite but im not here to argue about bands its childish and everyone can like who they please thats whats so great about music

  • the bassist fucked up the song...

  • Eww.... just no...

  • aww just because your too poor to buy your own CD's. EVERYONE LEAVE THE POOR CHAV ALONE!!!

  • i kinda want punch the singer in the face with all that vibrato, and wierd elvis tone in his voice

  • i agree.

  • I don't know why people need to compare band and scream at each other. Why don't you just listen to the music??

  • That's hard to do, when every cover BB does of Tool is just horrid. They just suck it dry, leaving it meaningless.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm 17 and british. So the things you have suggested I do is rather hard seeing as breaking benjamin dont tour the UK :)

  • Same. Its really annoying, because I have never heard a band I like better in any way.

  • both bands, tool and BB, are really good and its cool that BB made the cover in their own style sounds different but very good love Ben's voice

  • WTF If you cant even play the song right dont even try to sing it

  • I hate people like you, who go around and yell at bands that cover songs which end up sounding different from the original. That's what a cover is; the song played by and in the style of the band that covers it.

  • it's just the way ben sings. you either love it or you hate it. go check out some of breaking benjamin's songs, maybe then you will see how great they really are :)

  • he is not mocking the singer! this is a fucking tribute!

  • that was quite cool

  • they didn't so bad, but his voice is a bit deep for the song :( very good vid

  • I've never heard this song before, so i decided to listen to the orignal by "tool" and i think this is such a better version. breaking benjamin = awesome.

  • Well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion, but damn...this cover can't even compare to its original, seriously.

  • u havent heard this song before, your either 13 years old or retarded

  • You call me retarded and yet you're the one that cannot even put together a simple sentence. Need I say more?

  • ooh my god hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahaha man that was hillarious!!!!!

  • W4RRIORS i'm with you

  • Never heard it? WTF? seriously?

  • Well, maybe you should listen more for Tool.. Breaking Benjamin is awesome band but you just cant compare Tool and BB.. BB should stay in its own genre.

  • its a comment , im not writing a paper in an English class to be graded later on...but how have you not heard the original, if you were 20 or above you would have least heard the song randomly on the radio at some given time, and if you want to insult Tool, go to a Tool concert and then see Breaking whoever and then form an opinion

  • Can't understand why this has 4 stars. I'd give it 2 max because of the vocalist. He sounds like he's intentionally mocking the original.

  • i'd like to here you try...

  • I could, though why should i have to go through all of that just to make a comment on youtube? I can give my opinion on things without doing them myself, but thanks.

  • I'd like to see you try to spell... Or maybe you'd understand "I'd like to SEA you try to spell..."

  • its ok............i think he could have done better
