This is one of my favorite bands, but I hadn't watched any life stuff before this. And, well... eyuh... Ben's kinda bad live. I'm going back to the album version.
@PlaguesProject13 Seriously i think yes but this time there will be new members in the band expect ben and chad cause of there dispute over blow me away feat valora so lets hope soon but ben 25000$ loss over the name cause of the dispute of mark and aaron over the song blow me away feat valora
@AngeGlace Calm down, his middle finger is healthy and in place... Right before the final breakdown, during the quieter part, right about the time he's smiling at the crowd, there's a semi-brief close up of his hand... It's fine. (And no, his other hand isn't missing it either. I highly doubt he'd be as good of a guitar player if he was missing it on that hand.)
@TheBingBangShow00 naw really?! have you never heard a band live? every band is going to sound better in the studio because they get to try it over and over until they get it perfect.
Im with you guys, this dude is awesome. His songs really have feeling n meaning to them they freakin give me goosebumps cause i listen n feel the song..Yes,.this is real stuff dude..and yes, i say rock on man....
@senseiishiguro not knocking Breaking Benjamin or the Red Hot Chilli Peppers both are great bands but you can't really compare them they are two totally different types of bands
The way the music is composed along with Ben's voice is just incredible, everything is so tight musically it's insane...very unique and different - rock on Breaking Benjamin, rock on
If only they could come to Europe... Imagine it... The concert zone would just not be capable of geting any more people.. And not only the concert zone but the fcking city in which the concert would be held...People all over Europe would come, and other continets too..:D
@MrRight533 Ben has an EXTREME Phobia of flying... So no out of country tours for them. The album phobia talks about the problems he faces every day, including all his fears, check it out :D
@cashandguns Ben says that he has a few health problems that won't go away and he has been sober for approximately 3 years. Before the Phobia tour 2006 Benjamin had a lung disease. They tried to remark the tour for another time but that wasn't possible. Ben was fully recovered from the disease sometime between 2008-09.
@cashandguns Do you excpect live to sound just like the sudio? thats the point of it being live,besides im sure its a strain on his voice to sing 12 songs :)
a voice isn't like a guitar, where you can change strings or know that putting your finger on a certain fret will give you a pitch. When your voice wears out, it takes time to recover. Also, the voice has another weakness. you can get sick...I found this out when I was auditioning around the country for conservatories. Thank goodness, I recovered in time for my last couple auditions
@badazzkiller23 What about him? He can be physical fatigued, but aside from breaking a string or stick, or drum head, not instrument in the band can be worn out like the singers voice. Nor, can they be as temperamental, and they CANNOT be prone to illness in the same way whatsoever. It is a great song, isn't it! :)
@TheStimoroLL Well, there is Metallica, Lamb of God, Pantera and Slipknot, just to name a few, but they are technically metal bands, so it's up to you I suppose...
ok i have been listening to his music lately and i watch blow me away done live on youtube (here) and they are really starting to creep me out and freaky too
the throat thing he does doesn't make him that unique, I can do it, but admittidly it was listening to this song that made me learn to do it. But there are alot of vocalists that do it.
Got a question for any of you guitarists out there. In the beginning is he using a ton of killer reverb or is he actually double and/or triple playing those notes?
Also to the guy below me who doubted their live singing until now, it was probably because he has/had (don't remember) a lung infection and his voice sounded way to raspy and stuff.
The ones thinking they can't play live are typically the ones who think everything is studio modified, that no one possesses the talent to play live anymore, etc.
A fear of flying necessarilly isn't about the fear of crashing. It breaks down to a fear of gravity and the pull of it on you. It also deals with heights as well. His fear is rational, atleast it isn't something like the fear of ducks watching him(actual fear btw).
He needs to get the hell over the flying phobia though, I heard somewhere that based on statistics and the sheer number of flights that happen each day, that odds of winning the lotto are higher than being in a plane accident... Please Ben tour the world!
@MaggotRampage666 well... there is no fear of actually flying, I think surely it has to come from the thought of something going wrong... like crashing lol
Phobias aren't rational fears, it's extremely difficult to get over them from sheer willpower. And like Moonbreak and MaggotRampage say, it's not crashing that's the problem, it's the sensation of flying.
