Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band, has been since 2013. This is amazing, he sounds great even though he is sick. He said nobody knows what is medical condition is. He even said in a video if it weren't for his wife, his son, and his amazing fans that probably would have killed himself from the pain. Always remember that, he is sick and is giving his all every single show. JUST FOR US BECAUSE THATS HOW MUCH HE CARES. And happy birthday Benjamin Burnley:)
Wow that's Amazing!! 💜I love this thanks for sharing that. That explains why I'm connected to Ben's songs. Hes been through pain just like everyone else and you can hear it In the words and I've been a fan for over a year now and Breaking Benjamin music is what's helped me out of my pain when I couldn't take it anymore he's a Blessing that's come out of the darkness into the light and is now healing others I am one of them . So much gratitude and Love to Breaking Benjamin you guys ROCK.. Definetly my favorite band 🖤🎶🎸💜.. And had the best time seeing them live Sunday 91122 in Albuquerque New Mexico best concert I've been too 😍.
He is a jerk off! Not sick and probably never wad. Drugs and alcohol along with a big ego. They been back for 10 years with the new clowns 🤡 and have not made a new album in over 5 years.
I liked BB much better when he was with these members of his band, it's a shame they betrayed him, I think he was at his best during his time with his original line-up.
When you arent playing a crazy long setlist under blazing hot lighting with barely a chance to get water, your vocals arent gonna be the strongest. This is clearly in an atmosphere where hes capable of relaxing while hes singing, so hes able to hit the notes better.
Still probably one of my favorite songs ever. Ben is my idol as much as Kurt Cobain is his. This mans songs has helped me through so much bullshit. So glad I saw them live almost 2 years ago finally.
It's not auto tune. If your a fan than you know Ben has a throat disease. That's what gives him that badass sound. With talent added as well. He chews menthol gum to help with his voice shaking. (kinda noticeable in the video) Smoking is obviously a contributor to the sound to. That's why his live performances are hit and miss.
+Jordan Gill I actually love his voice shaking at some points because it sounds almost supernatural, just proving how unique his voice is :) Thanks for the info :)
+Jordan Gill Bro, stop with the throat disease rumor. It is not true lol. He had a throat infection 1 time now everyone thinks he has a disease. Although, now, he has a condition called "wet brain" from alcohol abuse. No throat infection though lol. With that said, you may be right in this video though. I think this may have been when he had the infection.
I always liked the subtle vocal changes Ben does to some of the melodies when playing acoustic! At 2:02 he ends the verse by raising the last note when singing "mind". The ending sounds great too hearing him sing the last two lines....especially the last!! Breaking Benjamin is the best!!
I'm not a big fan yet cuz I'm somewhat new to BB. And I noticed that not all his songs he sounds like this, but... it's crazy. How does he do that cracked devil mechanic voice? It's fucking beast! Sounds better then the original recorded one, love it!
Cody Pettit Seriously? I thought you were wrong xD I couldn't imagine a signer smoking a cig. Well a guy as young as him. I didn't expect it with his face, lol.
I love Breaking Benjamin and even more Ben so much. Ben's breathing and sweating pure talent, because he's not 70 percent water, but 70 percent talent, writing and performing songs, which beauty make me sometimes feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in. But not just that, he's also heart-melting funny and adorable. Just look at his face during this video. He looks like he's imitating Jim Carrey imitating Jack Nicholson. How cute is that? xD Can't believe I'll not be able to see Breaking Benjamin live in my life, just because I'm born in the damn wrong corner of the world. Please, universe or god or Santa Clause or whosever job it is to make wishes come true: Take away Ben's fear of flying and give my life a meaning. And if Santa Clause is busy: Can't we just drug Ben and fly his talented ass over to germany, pleaaase?
Well, I fear have to rob a bank first then. :D Air tickets cost a fortune. :( But there's hope for me! I saw an interview with BB a few days ago, and Ben talked about their plans to go on a boat trip to europe soon... That feels, man! :) I'm pumped now!
Am I the only one that thinks Ben's voice sounds so much better in the acoustic performances? I'm not saying the regular shows are bad, he just has a much better suit in acoustics to me.
Before I die one of the things I have to do is personally thank Breaking Benjamin and mainly Ben for just being EPIC!!!! Their lyrics are the deepest out there and every song is so emotionally charged that the feeling is palpable.
This song being played acoustically is awesome itself but Ben's voice just made it ten times better. Swear it gave me the freakin chills. Luv u Breaking Benjamin!
I've seen people debating whether ben sings good or not during live. Lets not forget that when you sing a lot of songs with that many screams "LIVE" burns you so damn good,. You will sound bad even after you tried squeezing everything you have at that moment. Not to mention that his disease always made him fatigue which the main bottleneck in Singing. So In my opinion Ben is a great singer,composer,producer. He really gave his all while performing live thats why we love him and all his work :).
It's been years since I've heard this song, I honestly forgot about it. I'm so happy that I remember it now. I remember my mom playing BB when I was a kid. I'm a teenager now, and this band holds a very special place in my heart ❤
When you can sound virtually the same live as on a CD you've got it all. People that dislike this are out of their mind and wouldn't know what talent was if it smacked em in the face
I can not freakin believe they just play an acoustic show here in Stroudsburg, pa this sunday and I freakin missed it......god damn wife and kids.....I didn't even know they were back on the road again?!
Awesome live performance! I'll have to see these guys live sometime. Soon, hopefully.. I think we can all relate to this song, where we've all met someone who's completely full of it, and has a little too much to prove.
Just look at chad, he's playing the whole vid back there having fun. BB is just an awsome band, I think they should be more recognized because their songs are just, perfect. Thanks BB
KurtTissera No, no they didn't. Ben formed a new band with new bandmates. He just happens to own the name "Breaking Benjamin" so he can call the new band that if he wants, which he is doing. Being that he's the main songwriter and the singer, though, it makes sense. But the old band did *not* "set aside their differences" whatsoever.
I'm going to say that Ben is one of few people who sound the same in studio as he does live
Are you perchance from Germany?
Not in every song.
I noticed
No he doesnt! Seen him live three times... has matched the album almost exactly every time.
+LightningRider81 I went to a concert and he sounded pretty close to the audio
Love how he changes his voice to sing "I will be the one"
That's what makes him so special to me. In Phase it sounds like two different men are singing.
Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band, has been since 2013. This is amazing, he sounds great even though he is sick. He said nobody knows what is medical condition is.

sorry, * in an interview he said that.

So much gratitude and Love to Breaking Benjamin you guys ROCK.. Definetly my favorite band 🖤🎶🎸💜.. And had the best time seeing them live Sunday 91122 in Albuquerque New Mexico best concert I've been too 😍.
It's sad though, he and his wife separated. 😔
He is a jerk off! Not sick and probably never wad. Drugs and alcohol along with a big ego. They been back for 10 years with the new clowns 🤡 and have not made a new album in over 5 years.
I listen to this daily. There's no getting over this song.
I liked BB much better when he was with these members
of his band, it's a shame they betrayed him, I think he was
at his best during his time with his original line-up.
Me too. To live i need food, water and this video every day.
2:48
"Hold me down" part .. goosebumps !!!!!! the way he says it .. what a voice ben
I don't know why they aren't more popular. They actually deserve to be popular- they're amazing!
jesus O_o that's incredible for a live performance
I fucking know dude he sounds amazing ^~^ I grew up listening to him c:
When you've met and shaken Benjamin Burnleys hand 🤘🏼
I know that feel :)
I'm just kidding, omg you are so lucky!
That feel when you've met Ben in Berlin, got photo with him and catch his guitar pick ^^
When breaking benjamin had a concert in Nevada they signed my cd
When you arent playing a crazy long setlist under blazing hot lighting with barely a chance to get water, your vocals arent gonna be the strongest. This is clearly in an atmosphere where hes capable of relaxing while hes singing, so hes able to hit the notes better.
+yYylkraaYyY honetly there a few times when he doesnt sound so good.
***** That doesnt happen with most singers. Ben must have some kind of illness.
+Anonymous User he has throat problems and wet brain
I loved his singing in here tbh i prefer this to the original
Love the new red cold river
Still probably one of my favorite songs ever. Ben is my idol as much as Kurt Cobain is his. This mans songs has helped me through so much bullshit. So glad I saw them live almost 2 years ago finally.
It's not auto tune. If your a fan than you know Ben has a throat disease. That's what gives him that badass sound. With talent added as well. He chews menthol gum to help with his voice shaking.

+Jordan Gill I actually love his voice shaking at some points because it sounds almost supernatural, just proving how unique his voice is :) Thanks for the info :)
+Jordan Gill It has auto-tune all over it, it's quite easy to tell.
+Jordan Gill Bro, stop with the throat disease rumor. It is not true lol. He had a throat infection 1 time now everyone thinks he has a disease. Although, now, he has a condition called "wet brain" from alcohol abuse. No throat infection though lol. With that said, you may be right in this video though. I think this may have been when he had the infection.
+Gd0g427 no, its not a throat infection. it was a lung infection from smoking and other causes
+Gd0g427 Ben says none of the medical community knows what it is, so it can't be 'Wet brain'.
This is what Ben is capable of when he doesn't have a throat infection.
Seriously, how is there any thumbs down? This is live and they sound amazing. This is a dying skill.... Ben is amazing.
I've been a fan since 2003 and always will be!!!!
I can't get over the fact that Ben looks like a modern-day sexy dracula. I have a feeling I may be alone in this...
I second that
you're not alone here, not at all..
Taylor I get that reference XD
I was hoping someone would!You just made my day:) have a good life my fellow Benhead:)
I've always thought he was really sexy in a dark way
one of the best live acoustic performances. LOVE this album.
i just like watching his eyebrows go all loopy
There's something about Ben Burnley's voice that gives me chills everytime I hear him
I always liked the subtle vocal changes Ben does to some of the melodies when playing acoustic! At 2:02 he ends the verse by raising the last note when singing "mind". The ending sounds great too hearing him sing the last two lines....especially the last!! Breaking Benjamin is the best!!
Ya damn right he does....his fuckin voice sounds like its coming from the inner depths of hell out of a biomechanical centaur...
Goosebumps, after all this time, they still manage to give me goosebumps. Everytime I listen to them, i get so amped up. Love them.
amazing performance wow
i do..
Com certeza!!
This is a pure masterpiece
My top favourite Breaking Benjamin songs.
1. Until the end
2. Had Enough
3. Unknown Soldier
Dang man, I need to get back to work before I get fired.
It really do be like that sometimes
lolol ditto man
This is incredible. It's not often that you find an artist/band who sounds exactly how they do on their albums, when performing live.
I'm not a big fan yet cuz I'm somewhat new to BB.
And I noticed that not all his songs he sounds like this, but... it's crazy. How does he do that cracked devil mechanic voice? It's fucking beast!
Sounds better then the original recorded one, love it!
It's digging deep into emotion, and screaming from your chest, not your mouth. He is a master. Beautiful voice.
he is also a pack a day smoker... helps with the rasp. lol
Cody Pettit He quit drinking and smoking.
I knew he quit drinking. Didn't know he quit smoking, but still, he was a pack a day for many years. That rasp won't go away I'm sure.
Cody Pettit Seriously? I thought you were wrong xD I couldn't imagine a signer smoking a cig. Well a guy as young as him.
I didn't expect it with his face, lol.
I love Breaking Benjamin and even more Ben so much.

Please, universe or god or Santa Clause or whosever job it is to make wishes come true: Take away Ben's fear of flying and give my life a meaning.
And if Santa Clause is busy: Can't we just drug Ben and fly his talented ass over to germany, pleaaase?
Nah we shouldn't drug him so he can enjoy the plane ride.
hahaha, that's mean :D
I'm only joking don't worry ;D
MsElectraheart
Alternative: you fly to the US. Their tour begins tomorrow
Well, I fear have to rob a bank first then. :D Air tickets cost a fortune. :( But there's hope for me! I saw an interview with BB a few days ago, and Ben talked about their plans to go on a boat trip to europe soon... That feels, man! :) I'm pumped now!
love their music preformed with true passion
i want to see Ben cast in a movie.
I know right? He has thia "look" about him!!
Christian bale 😂
I bet He could play a badass vampire.
As a super hero 😎
One of the best live singers
Am I the only one that thinks Ben's voice sounds so much better in the acoustic performances? I'm not saying the regular shows are bad, he just has a much better suit in acoustics to me.
i agree, some artists are just more fit for acoustics
He does have a beautiful beautiful voice on this one
Before I die one of the things I have to do is personally thank Breaking Benjamin and mainly Ben for just being EPIC!!!! Their lyrics are the deepest out there and every song is so emotionally charged that the feeling is palpable.
The only band that I'd feel completely comfortable moshing to at one of their acoustic shows...
One of the reasons I love Breaking Benjamin is that their songs can have any meaning makeing the songs that much more personal
I love his voice when its more ruff. Its just more intense and makes the song more real.
Benjamin Burnley is a beast, I had not a clue he was this great. I think I saw them at the rave in Milwaukee. But I don't remember.
Flawless... man would love to see them live
Breaking Benjamin will still live on! We still have Ben and Chad!
24/11/2016 i still listen this song
Ben is such an amazing singer, I'm so glad BB is back this year!
That scream though..
This song being played acoustically is awesome itself but Ben's voice just made it ten times better. Swear it gave me the freakin chills. Luv u Breaking Benjamin!
O my GOD Breaking BENJAMIN!!!!!!!!is very very good lol,,,,From Brazil(s)!!!
I've seen people debating whether ben sings good or not during live. Lets not forget that when you sing a lot of songs with that many screams "LIVE" burns you so damn good,. You will sound bad even after you tried squeezing everything you have at that moment. Not to mention that his disease always made him fatigue which the main bottleneck in Singing. So In my opinion Ben is a great singer,composer,producer. He really gave his all while performing live thats why we love him and all his work :).
Jesus! He's sounds just like he does on the CD's. Thank God they're back! It's been to long!
This is real music right here. And i have not Had enough of this!
Their drummer stole the show. That guy is sick !
So so good, gotta be in my top 5 favorite bands of all time, top 3 songs for this band.
This kills me! His voice is perfect
i dont give a shit what he does-he always sounds AMAZING!! awesome lyricist, awesome vocalist-the end.
Here We Go!
This performance, and song is awesome! BB forever!
I have loved this song from the first time to the 2,000 times I’ve played it in ever shape and form !
I find it difficult to find another band that is anywhere as close to as good as BB. Great live performance
let it be known.... BB is the best band ever! and i am the biggest fan
The great thing about this band and Ben is that his voice doens't sound any different from the studio version.
Incredible he is. Absoloutely.
By far my favourite song from them
one of the very few that actually sounds the same live or on an album
It's been years since I've heard this song, I honestly forgot about it. I'm so happy that I remember it now. I remember my mom playing BB when I was a kid. I'm a teenager now, and this band holds a very special place in my heart ❤
When you can sound virtually the same live as on a CD you've got it all. People that dislike this are out of their mind and wouldn't know what talent was if it smacked em in the face
i cant compare them!!i love them both
Oh, dear, a perfect performance!
sou fã desses caras!!!!!!!!
I hope that one day he will go back to this...
Beautiful voice.
I would sell my soul to the devil for a voice like that breaking benjamin never ceases to amaze me. GREAT JOB.
Know thus now humans that these discreet final pshams are for those who see threw black and white. Stay blessed, keep thy good works moving
I can not freakin believe they just play an acoustic show here in Stroudsburg, pa this sunday and I freakin missed it......god damn wife and kids.....I didn't even know they were back on the road again?!
Perfect version
12 people don't realize there is a difference between a CD and live
And this is what Ben sounds like without a lung disease lol. UNBELIEVABLE. He has the best voice out there end of discussion.
best band of this generation n my opionion
I love them both too!!!! I couldn't choose which one I love best! lol
Awesome live performance! I'll have to see these guys live sometime. Soon, hopefully.. I think we can all relate to this song, where we've all met someone who's completely full of it, and has a little too much to prove.
#virtueslost
Just look at chad, he's playing the whole vid back there having fun. BB is just an awsome band, I think they should be more recognized because their songs are just, perfect.
Thanks BB
The vocals are sooo nice even live
i would cut out an eye to have this guy's voice.
breaking Benjamin=badass

There is no dislikes that is how awesome breaking benjamin is!!!!!!
Three days grace was my favourite band...they had some good songs....
Ben new album pls :( we all are missing you
Kay Vonlanthen
do you know anything about that 'soon'?
they broke up
Kay Vonlanthen Actually he's back in breaking benjamin. Google it. They put their differences behind them and are going to start making new music.
Finally they were my favourite band
KurtTissera No, no they didn't. Ben formed a new band with new bandmates. He just happens to own the name "Breaking Benjamin" so he can call the new band that if he wants, which he is doing. Being that he's the main songwriter and the singer, though, it makes sense. But the old band did *not* "set aside their differences" whatsoever.
rock and roll with acoustics awesome
LEGENDARY BAND :)
I wish I could like this video a thousand times.
