When you confuse Papa Roach with Breaking Ben 😂
I did a double take on that one, lol
I think this is a bless his heart moment.
At least he has heard of them. Given their ages there is a good section of music that they wouldn't know without actively trying to find (mid to late 90s through late 00s)
I'm just so glad he corrected
✋ 😂 I scoffed a bit and laughed but he redeemed himself
Lol
I'm just thankful that RUclips didn't block all the dad jokes in this upload
The episode was definitely filled with Dad jokes and cringey pop culture references. Lol.
I know nobody asked but I'm an atheist and this is one of my favorite channels. Love seeing the insight and knowing there are Christians who actually act Christ like
Ashes of Eden is one of, if not my favorite song by Breaking Benjamin.
It was a beautiful song. So much emotion.
Definitely Ashes of Eden and Far Away ft Scooter Ward ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@jasonsmith4264 def needs to be the next reaction
Sad that we couldn't hear the song while you were watching. You reactions to the song as it plays is one of the best parts of watching. Still love the breakdown
Breaking Benjamin is my top 10 of bands. They have a huge musical catalog with some deep meanings in the music. Angels Fall is another you should check out. Also check out Starset "My Demons"
Anyway the lead singer of BB has been talking to Christian artists including Lacey Sturm formerly of Flyleaf and he looks to be thinking a lot about God and the Bible.
Micheal Barnes from Red too.
Yes!! That is such awesome news!!
Imagine a Christian metal supergroup headed by those three
Graham2 Id totally listen to that!! 🤩🤩🤩
@@morgmatar2117 *Rock
The best thing about BB, is that they always purposefully leave their songs up to interpretation. You can take it as you will, and it will always mean something different and meaningful to each person that listens to them.
Finally Breaking Benjamin, i've been listening to this band since 11, and now i'm 22 and still haven't stopped listening, i've never been dissapointed by them from over the years and i hope i never will be.
Heaven above me, take my hand, shine until there's nothing left but you! I love that line because it reminds me of the days that are dark, for me to always look to God.
Amen!
You have probably heard Diary Of Jane by them. That's probably why it sounds familiar.
Breaking Benjamin is a fantastic band. My favorite of all time! I highly suggest checking out their song Dear Agony! Deep heartfelt songs describes the lead singer when he was going through his alcohol addiction. Keep the videos coming and God Bless.
very smart Pastor looking at music as an expression, not a satanic overthrow or evil domination. it is just expression never take things so serious or you will get yourself in trouble of ignorance, (God)love works in mysterious ways.
Never clicked on a video so fast!
Me either!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
FACTS
Mr meaty hahahahaha!!
It literally popped up on my notifications and within 1/2 a second it was playing 😂
So upset we can't hear the song at all. Thanks RUclips bots.
May the RUclips bots be smited and fire and brimstone rain upon them - bwuahahahahaha!!
Rock on mate!! 👊💀
AleStorm legend! Cheers fella!!
Ben has been through some stuff! But him and band give back in great ways. They work with St. Jude Children’s hospital
Watch red cold river, torn in two then Tourniquet (in that order) by Breaking Benjamin, it’s a music video trilogy from the album ember, the imagery in the videos is really awesome
Red Cold River and Tourniquet are two of my favorites by BB
Hahaha! Pastor Rob is a *legend!!* So good to see him back on his feet after he Smited the dreaded Coronavirus!! *Rock on!!* 😇⚔️🤘
Lol!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lol. Thanks for the love!
Robert Houghton no way?! *The* Pastor Rob got/saw/responded to my message!! Awesome!! Cheers man!! Love your work!! Rock on amigo 👊💀
YES finally some Breaking Benjamin
Kamelot - Memento Mori
you won't regret it guys, it's a timeless epic masterpiece, and something different to the metal you've done so far
React to “Failure” and “I Will Not Bow” by these guys!
This is the most amazing song breaking Benjamin has produced and it has pulled me through some tough times in my life
This was something I wrote last year about what you were talking about
"It's Not In Me"
Written by
The Artist J
"My Salvation isn't dependent on how many times I fail
If it were, the trail would be measured by how many times I've bailed
See, my strength pales in comparison to how many times I've fell
The more I fail
The faster I bail
And the harder I fell
Is exactly the proof to know that I can never save myself
It
Is
Not
In
Me
What a humbling phrase
Dependence can bring a PEACE that pride just can't replace
Dependence- Is it a word for the weak?
Or is it what all
desperately seek?
If Salvation is up to me then I'm bound to fail
The question is
"Do I know anyone
that can prevail?"
There is only one with a record that's clean
Never fell
Never failed
Never bailed
In accomplishing His goals
Even when that goal was to take the failures of His foes
Took all my sin and died nailed to a tree
Rose to live again and supplies my every need
Salvation? Eternity?
Absolutely Not!
Not Dependent on me!
Jesus Alone!
Exactly As It Should Be
end"
She's taller than him, she looking down at him, she's about to kill him, caught me off guard, made me laugh super hard.
I got in a car wreck in 2016, broke my femur, had my lungs heavily bruised and one punctured, and my spleen laceration on my spleen. This is the song that was playing when I woke up. Special song for me
I LOVE THIS SONG!! ❤️😍
Been a fan of BB since the start. Yes, he has collaborated with Lacey Sturm. Love her too! ❤️ Btw Last Resort was Papa Roach... Lol
We realized that after the fact. Lol. That’s why we added the lead singer of poppa roach giving us dirty looks into the video.
@@roberthoughton7127 😂😂😂 How did I miss that?🤷🏼♀️ I must have been distracted by my dog. 🐕 Now I will have to watch it again, lol.
This song has given me chills every time I've heard it, since the very first time.
I'm not religious whatsoever, but the song is still quite powerful.
Love your reactions, guys!
So Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band of all time and a fun fact their current guitarist is the old guitarist for RED and a lot of their music is about a struggle with faith and life. Benjamin Burnley, the lead singer, also wrote/co wrote the RED song Shadows.
So excited to see you guys reacting to Breaking Benjamin. They are one of my favorite bands of all time.
I think you guys might also enjoy digging into these Breaking Benjamin songs, as well:
- Close Your Eyes
- Dance With the Devil

David was the boy King he kicked butt throughout his faith in God, the greatest King that ever was till Jesus reigns supreme in our near future, it is all happening as God foretold from the beginning till our end, prophecy is working out great it is alive in Christ Jesus. !!!REPENT NOW!!!
The world isn’t falling apart, it is merely falling into place for our Lord Jesus Christ’s return.
Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band by far. When I listen to BB , I usually talk to God and He with me when I sing every BB song.
Ashes of Eden you should not listen with the music video , just close your eyes on each song and just...listen .
Ashes of Eden is about a relationship , but a relationship with God , not a human relationship. He sings about God and how people (and he) have fallen so far from paradise (Eden/closeness with God) . It's about his Love for God as well as the struggles through the pain, he asks God to stay with him throughout his time on earth until Jesus returns in the end.
Can you do dance with the devil by them also its an amazing song
That song is amazing!
The singer Ben Burnley has a really tragic story. In the early 00s he drank pretty heavily and one time he got really drunk and woke up the next feeling worse than he ever felt. He figured it would go away, but it never did. He was diagnosed with WKS and says he lives with constant severe headaches and vertigo and regrets having ever touched alcohol. He pushes through it though and uses the pain to fuel his screams when he’s performing on stage. He’s really down to earth and never considered himself a rock star, rather a lucky professional musician. I pray for him a lot, since he seems to be searching for Jesus. I think he’s already a secular theist, I just really hope he comes to Christ before it’s too late. I absolutely love this band and I get excited everytime they put out new music.
Y’all need to analyze The Light by Disturbed. That song has gotten me through a lot as well as this one. Gives me a lot of hope and comfort.
Benjamin is a Christian and has stated the song is a modern sci-fi take on Adam and Eve.
I am by Theocracy
Faceless by Red
Holy Roller by Spiritbox
God of Fire and Tower of Pain by Fit for a King
So glad you guys took the time to listen to this song. I've always loved it and it was great to hear your take on it.
Falling in Reverse - Popular Monster when?
It would be interesting to see their take on the lyrical content, I've already watched most of the other reactions to it, lol
I was going to wait to watch tomorrow because I’m tired, but then I saw the song and was like nope - I’m watching right now!
Theocracy’s I AM is an absolute must. You’ve gotta do this song...
I’ll use Jung psychology here. If you read the read or listen to excerpts of the book then you can say why can’t he hear his soul? Can he hear it or is he worthy of listening to the inner voice. Looking at esoteric philosophy, Eden is the collective unconscious as the ashes is the faint connection between the self and the soul where Eden is. And if your guardian angel also a metaphor in the story. Like a child we hide or out off ourselves to the good when we do nonsensical or evil things.
I would love for you to react to inside the fire by disturbed, i feel it would be a great talking point
I'm from the Bloomsburg area, and my dad was in the music scene and the same age as the original Breaking Ben guys. So when I was like 5 I knew them when they were local, and after the issues that went down the original guitarist has been in my mother's bar a few times so I know him now a little bit. After 20 years though they're still one of my favorites of all time even if their sound has never changed beside a few select songs lol.
You guys should react to some of the new Fit For A King songs!
This song is truly amazing! The symbolism & the imagery are other-worldly. It truly makes you think & feel about the tumultuous weight that it is to be a human being. This song made me cry the first time I heard it & it will always make me emotional. In all the ups & downs of existing as human beings & our dynamics with each other we can only hope that we will have eternal light & love when our physical existence is done. I do believe in reincarnation though so I think that our physical existence is only one of many lives that we will have. Anyway it’s a really beautiful song. I’d love to talk to Benjamin Burnley one day.
Diary of Jane is their big hit. Breaking Benjamin is amazing. Yall need to listen to them more.
I agree with your analyzing this song....Praise the Lord for this song writer....❤
Breaking Benjamin is considered to be a Christian Metal band. I love their music.
From their song Simple Design: "You fuck it up every time." Yes, very Christian.
People used to say that Chevelle was a Christian band. Pete Loeffler has stated they keep their faith separate from their art. Don't get things twisted.
@md_vandenberg yea there's a big difference between a band like Skillet who explicitly put Christian messaging into their music and breaking Benjamin who's songs may have some Christian themes consistenly but not always.
I know this is an old video, but some context to the song. When they initially toured with this song. I can't remember if Ben said he wrote it after or before but was contributing to the people of Paris after the bombing in Paris that had happened at the time. So I have always felt this had beautiful song ties to Christianity
As a Pagan, I don't necessarily agree with your viewpoints but I respect and appreciate your personal theology as long as you found your personal deity along your unique path instead of being told who to believe in since childhood and not given the freedom to cultivate your own personal thought. It's in my personal thought that we all believe in the same sort of deity or even pantheon (God and his named angels) but just by a different name and in the end if we lived a good life we all join our loved ones among the stars and look after our family from the celestial heavens and do our best to sway the heavens to tip the scales in our loved one's favor when it matters most to keep them safe, healthy, and happy
Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band. Would love to see you guys do more reviews of their songs.
Thank you for making these videos. I have never felt more safe to believe as a Christian than when I listen to talk about God. The way you share your love of God makes me feel God's love so intensely. I can not explain it.
Sometimes, there are seasons of silence and those can be frustrating but God is always working for a better plan than you or I could ever imagine. My personal story is that my wife and I suffered through 6 miscarriages and a failed adoption. I was ANGRY. However, God had a bigger and better plan. I did not think that he was listening to my cries. He was. My wife and I adopted a brother and sister that had parents dealing with drug addiction. It was done in God's timing. Within a month of welcoming those babies into our home, my wife became pregnant with #7. We did not expect to be able to bring that baby home. When we heard his heart beating on the ultrasound, I laughed like Abraham. Again, I was stunned and not quite sure of what was occurring. Every appointment, every ultrasound went well. Within a span of 8.5 months we went from zero to three kids. God had a plan for us to save those 2 children. He has a plan for their life that will bring glory to Him. We were blessed for our faithfulness to him, even in the midst of his silence in our struggles. Going through something like that is quite difficult. Having been through it, I can say that my faith is much stronger. I understand my Heavenly Father in a real way that goes beyond the typical platitudes that you hear on Sundays. I just pray that I am able to share some wisdom from my experience to help others through the difficulties that life presents us with.
This was for his unborn child! If u look at the moon in the background it’s actually a sonogram of his child. Most this album is bout his unborn child.
Thanks for reviewing this song. I love this song and have been listening to it a lot this past week and a couple days. I saved this video to see your theory on Ashes of Eden a few nights ago. I wanted to search for a scripture tonight to try and help ease some of my pain and I decided to watch your video instead and I'm happy I did. You threw out some scripture about David and how he felt about God forsaken him and then how he knew that God has been there for him and loved him. That's how I've been feeling but I know deep down he blessed me more than I know and more than I deserve and more that I could ever pay him back. I too get chills listening to this song no matter how many times I've heard it or the many of times I have it on repeat. Thank you again, I really needed this. God bless Robert Houghton
To me this is one of the best songs ever written
My dad wants this song played at his funeral.
No, he’s not dying, he just looks ahead LOL
So Benjamin works alot on his music and lyrics with the Christian band Red. Actually the lead guitarist of Breaking Benjamin is Jasen Rauch who was the lead guitarist of Red and he helps write a bunch of BB songs. If I am remember right, Benjamin believes in the Christian's God, but he doesn't like organized religion.
I saw an interview about this song. The video depicts a sort of Adam and Eve in space.
Great video. Wish YT didn't block it for the song.
Just love this song. Believe it or not, my daughter and I sang this together at church. Nobody knew it but it was well received.
Breaking Benjamin is the most underrated band of the last 20 years. They deserve so much more notoriety than they've received since their comeback.
This is my wife’s favorite song by them. She was so excited to hear your breakdown of the song. Love you guys!
I requested this too... thank you.... this song hits straight to my heart... the first time i had cancer this sing was exactly how I felt..... thank you so much
Hope you're doing well Rob.
Breaking Benjamin was the band to get me into hard rock, and really started it all for me in my musical journey.
I think this song is good. Not one of my favorite songs by them or anything, but I do like it!
Last resort is papa roach
Lol I think they know now from when they edited, since they threw in Jacoby on the screen haha
We realized that after the fact. That's why we inserted their (Pappa Roach) singer giving us a dirty look. I thought it was funny. lol
This. Lol. ^
Thanks pastor Rob for your response
Love the band and love you guys take and reactions. This one was special. Then again they all are.
Great song! Wish we could have gotten to see y'all actually watch it
Welcome back. God bless
Theocracy- I Am!
Still waiting on this one!
Btw, you guys have a great dynamic going on
Contrast this to some lyrics in “evil angel” and you can see how far the groups come👏
I always viewed the "evil angel" as love.
Wow !!! Never i have seen that song like that just beautiful!! How you guys explained....
❤️☺️
Ben, the lead singer of Breaking Benjamin had a brain tumour and a lot of the songs from Dear Agony and Dark Before the Dawn are written in response to that struggle in his life. I believe that old mate is ok now, but he went through some soul searching and back and forth with Christianity during that time.
Spiritbox Holy Roller is right up your alley and has a religious message for you to speak to. If you love me you will do that video.
When you were talking about the bridge, I can’t help but think of a bridge in my area literally started falling apart and had to be closed for weeks, lol. And now they opened up one side of the bridge, always stressful to drive across, haha.
Lol. All analogies break down at some point. Pun intended. 🤣
I dedicated this song to my kitten. It seems stupid, but I prayed everyday for Him to help me save this baby. Again a long story, but I still bawl my eyes out when I hear it...
That’s very sweet.
I love breaking benjamin. If you want a follow up song to understand thier reference to 'the light have a listen to the song failure by breaking benjamin. I have a line from that tattooed into my skin "look for the light that leads me home" . It might help you understand it. Ben Hurley has stated many times that he believes in a higher power and that his wife is a Christian. In fact alot of thier other music makes me wish i was still a Christian and sometimes even makes me wonder if maybe I can go back and find my faith again.
Greetings u can find you faith and u don’t need Christianity as a religion to do so Yeshua the messiah is personal u can call out to him right where u are!!!! Seek an u will find pray in name of Yeshua an study 📖 the Bible an get filled with the Holy Spirit an Holy Spirit will help you
May Jesus Bless you both. Praying for your conversion. ❤❤❤❤
Hi guys! I’ve been binge watching some of your videos and I’m currently watching your reaction to Metallica, Creeping Death, which is one of my favorite songs, and I wanted to suggest another song that I’d like you to do a reaction to, and that is Megadeth, “Washington Is Next,” which has lots of biblical references throughout the song. Anyway, I just wanted to make that suggestion and to also keep uploading videos. Rock on!!
I have always had multiple thoughts about this song but I thought you guys nailed it on the meaning. Thanks for posting this.
My first BB song was So Cold. Heard that song on the radio and I’ve been a fan ever since! 🤟🏻
Here are some good metalcore bands that speak out against Christianity that you should react to!
The Color Morale - Saviorself
Being As An Ocean - The People Who Share My Name
Kublai Khan - B.C.
Stick To Your Guns - Life in a Box
End - Necessary Death
No Bragging Rights - Not My Salvation
one of the first songs i learned on guitar..its such a powerful song whether i believe in a higher power not
Breaking Benjamin is a band I cant stop listening to, would love to hear your guys opinion on Dear Agony, Without You, Never Again
Please react to Living Sacrifice bloodwork from The Hammering Process. Living Sacrifice is a thrash metal death metal metalcore band.
If you guys like Breaking Benjamin, check out RED “Already Over” or “Breathe Into Me”
Spiritbox "Holy Roller."
Breaking Benjamin is very closely associated with the Christian band Red that you guys reacted to before. There base player used to be a member of Red and the band members are good friends and tour together a lot.
Jasen Rauch played guitar for Red, not bass. He now plays guitar in BB, plus produces
Oh okay Breaking Benjamin is awesome
I almost choked on my drink at "Chickenfoot Longhorn".
🤣🤣🤣
Hey, this video was great! You should check out chop suey by System of a Down. The song is about drug addiction and I’d want to see what you’d think of it and give an analysis on it. Please and thank you
I think a song called Earthborn Evolution by a band called Beyond Creation would be a perfect fit for you guys to talk about. Greetings from canada
My 3rd cousin toured with Them back in the day.
You should check out the new Breaking Benjamin song that just come out called Far Away. You'll really enjoy that one!
"Behold the Crown" or "Lost in the Static" by After the Burial or "The Great Unknown" by The Ghost Inside
Someone might have already clarified this, but "big chungus" is the nickname name given to Bugs Bunny in one specific scene from the show.
Also, I got the "big orange guy" reference and I'm surprised.
Also again, you saying the "small voice" that God is known for reminded me of the song Watch the children pray by Metal church, I already mentioned it but we can't have "lots of people requested it" if no one actually does.
In the video at least what I got from it is that the guy floating from the ship is the voice of the song struggling with his faith and the person who abandoned the rest of the team is supposed to be the Shepard who leaves the 99 sheep to find the lost one like when your distraught god will do everything to comfort u idk maybe I’m wrong but that’s what I took from it
