They aren't trying to compete with the original. Ben is a huge fan of queen/ Freddy Mercury. They are doing a cover with their own style to it, to show they're appreciation of the talent that is Freddy Mercury. Clearly, Ben and Freddy's voices aren't compatible, they are both completely different and Freddy Mercury was one in a million. However, Ben fucking kicks ass in this, and this is more upbeat than the original, so I like this one more. Even though I'm biased since I'm a diehard BB fan.
People should never compare covers to their origninal, 99% of the time originals are better. The people who cover it aren't trying to top it, they are a fan of the artist/song the same as you. I think this is a good cover, didnt do any harm to the song at all and has a different spin on it.
there are plenty of covers i prefer to the originals. thats my main point of listening to covers. i dont enjoy covers that are similar. but i love covers that play the song differently. and theres a bunch that are just more in my style so i like them more. saying 99% of the covers are (objectively) worse than the originals doesnt sit well with me.

@Roy Dam Ahahahahah are you serious? I mean, that's your opinion and I'll respect your right to that, but for me that's right up there with Hillary Duff's "cover" of My Generation. Which is, of course, my opinion and completely subjective. But really, Limp Bizkit's version?
In all honesty I enjoy his voice over Adam Lambert singing this song. The lead of Breaking Benjamin captures the roughness of the this song far better. Nothing like Mercury of course. But has its own heart ache to it.
It's not meant to be exactly the same as the Queen version. They're two separate bands with differing lead singers with very different vocal ranges. Both versions are amazing; leave it at that.
I love these guys, they are one of my favorite bands and I love this rendition. No one sings it like Freddie but Ben has an awesome voice and does it justice!
This is how I like my covers, when they tribute the song by sprinkling their own flavors on the music. I was never much of a fan of BB but I am so glad I gave this a listen.
who wants to live forever in style of Breaking Benjamin:D Very good cover guys!:) But really i don't understand one thing... why some users compare the vocalist Ben with that of Queen, Freddie... This is only a cover, not a competion.. if i made a mistake, be patient, I don't know english very well!
+Ana Balladares the song about an immortal living forever but then watching their mortal loved ones grow old and die needs to be more upbeat. Jesus Christ
i know that when Breaking Benjamin covered this song, there goal wasn't to make a better version than Queen did, nor was the singer trying to top Freddie, lets face it, there is no singer alive that ever come close to magic of Freddie Mercury. i love this cover, and i think they did an amazing job on it! Queen would def approve.
Man everyone chill.....they were inspired and wanted to honor him and his legacy....say you never heard of queen....and you listen to this first and then find its a cover....you can have that opportunity to go down a huge and amazing road to knowing who queen is and what they forever implanted in this world to hear for generations....if you can't figure that out....then your missing the point of music....i think its a very badass cover....freddy would be proud
Lyrics! There's no time for us. There's no place for us. What is this thing that builds our dreams, Yet slips away from us? Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? There's no chance for us. It's all decided for us. This world has only one Sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Who? Who dares to love forever? Oh, oh oh oh. When love must die? Then touch my tears with your lips, and touch my world with your fingertips. And we can have forever! And we can love forever! Forever is our today. Who wants to live forever? Who wants to live forever? Forever is our today. Who waits forever anyway?
I have been listening to Breaking Benjamin since 2003 and I can say I love all of their tracks. I wish they would come to Canada sometime for a concert, but eh. I spread their music around every chance I get.
im in the music programme and the first time i heard this song was when a girl singing soprano and it sounded so beautiful, of course this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made :D
Love this cover, Breaking Benjamin gives a rock edge to this song but still manages to maintain the emotion like in the original song. Now THAT is talent!!
+Derek Gautier lmao, i love it when people say the covers from their favorite bands are better than the original.. and in this case the legendary Freddie fucking Mercury.
Well it is better. Whatever that guys name is the one who sung the original just didn't bring the meaning across that well. Plus I got bored because it was too slow. But that's my opinion.
J'arrive après la guerre mais ce cover est le meilleur que j'ai jamais entendu! Et queen pour moi c'est le meilleur groupe au monde BB est partie mes groupes préférés mais la!!! J'adore 😍😍😍
On a youtube rabbit hole with the song and this is an awesome cover. Not a Breaking Benjamin fan but am familiar with them. This definitely has the requisite angst and passion.
I love this song. I don't think i'd even like a spot on cover. That isn't that creative. I just like to hear some of my favorite bands do some covers sometimes.
"Who dares to love forever when love must die!" I do. I'm a wreck and barely functional, but I won't let go of the memories and emotions, ever. "Who waits forever anyway" I will. In life and after.
once you realize that we are eternal all this pain is an illusion, you feel as if an immense load has been lifted from your soul. i wish i could talk to Ben but then again i wish i could talk to everyone
My favorite band of all time is Queen. So that means my favorite singer of all time is Freddie Mercury. My 2nd favourite band of all time is Breaking Benjamin, so of course that means my second favourite singer is Benjamin Burnley. Hearing this for me is like..... Gold.
I'm a big fan of breaking Benjamin, my band even opened up for them before they were big, but I didn't care for this. It's not a knock on them, but there will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury again.
"there will never be anyone like Freddie Mercury again." How does this make you not like the song though? i personally dont understand that kind of reasoning. that is, i dont see a reason to be that narrow minded on the subject. love Rainbow Six as well though. :D
As musician, you must know that covers are not intended to be better tan original songs, instead sometimes is an Homage to a great song and great bands. And we all agreed teres no human being like Freddie. Period.

1:30 thats when you hear the legendary voice of Benjamin.... Role on New Album
It’s my favorite part of the song. What a wonderful voice...
The original is still really good, but I love the passion/emotion in this version!
Breaking Benjamin definitely did the song justice. We shouldn't say who did it better, just sit and listen to both versions of this beautiful song.
they did a damn good cover of this.
I flipped my shit when I found this song. because this is so beautiful.
👍
i had a moment of air gutiar to this
I love these guys, they are one of my favorite bands and I love this rendition. No one sings it like Freddie but Ben has an awesome voice and does it justice!

I love that solo so much
I play the original on guitar the emotion rocks through me........
This is simply incredible,more dramatic in a way as it reaches the bridge
I remember this song only existing as a phone recording. The fact so many years leader it's now officially out is pretty awesome.
I can listen to this song every single day for the rest of my life :)
and now?
@@Venom_118 probably nothing changed :)
Powerful cover love that this is harder rock than the actual hard rock song
This one is so depressing yet bursting. I love it.
'Who dares to love forever'

who wants to live forever in style of Breaking Benjamin:D
Very good cover guys!:)
But really i don't understand one thing... why some users compare the vocalist Ben with that of Queen, Freddie... This is only a cover, not a competion..
if i made a mistake, be patient, I don't know english very well!
I think you summed it up very well. He is trying to honor Freddie, not top him.
Thank u so much:)
Anyway, I love the voiceprint of Ben U.U
its not a competition because they arent even close to the same league
absolutely love this cover. just got done watching both Queen and BB versions, so awesome
This music is what keeps me striving through thick and thin i will prevail
amazing cover
I'm obsessed with the part at 2:04 tho
Freddie said do what you want with my music, just don't make it boring. I'd say this meets that benchmark.
The best version that I ever heard !!! This cover very equal to the original in my opinion! Great job BB \m/
Then touch my tears with your lips. Touch my whole world with your fingertips. Best part of the whole song
Ben has such a unique voice, its amazing!
I honestly love Queen, but I like this cover more than the original.
It's more upbeat.
+Ana Balladares the song about an immortal living forever but then watching their mortal loved ones grow old and die needs to be more upbeat. Jesus Christ
Same. His voice is so emotive.
This song is not good because of its instrumentation. It's only because of the voice.
@@sheogorathprinceofmadness2223 But the instrumentation it's pretty damn good lol
Ben's voice always touches my soul, well done.

+1
I am very impressed...this is one of my all time favorite songs by Queen so I was a bit hesitant to even listen to this, but I'm glad I did.
It's wonderful the effect this song can have
You know how Ben loves Transformers? That's how much I love Highlander.
00:00-3:15 best part
i agree

MEGA! Love Ben´s voice!
Lyrics!
There's no time for us.
There's no place for us.
What is this thing that builds our dreams,
Yet slips away from us?
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us.
It's all decided for us.
This world has only one
Sweet moment set aside for us.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Who?
Who dares to love forever?
Oh, oh oh oh.
When love must die?
Then touch my tears with your lips,
and touch my world with your fingertips.
And we can have forever!
And we can love forever!
Forever is our today.
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today.
Who waits forever anyway?
What a beautiful tribute to Freddy Mercury! Great version
😍
You may find alot of partners in life
But there woul always be that one that woul mean the world to you

Nice Job guys .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It's amazing to hear that so many groups have covered this song.its one of my top 3 songs by Queen.
Great cover, wow!
an unexpected but very well done remake.
I have been listening to Breaking Benjamin since 2003 and I can say I love all of their tracks. I wish they would come to Canada sometime for a concert, but eh.

Just learned this is a Queen cover. The emotion put into this is outstanding. Thank you
Favorite part 2:04
+nexusj13 yesss love the palm mutes
Thought about such akind of Queens Cover several Times...So I am surprised that IT really exists.
Very Well Done!
Chills
I usually dislike cover songs by bands but this one is actually pretty good.
This cover made me cry; and song has never done that before. Proves BB are one of the most amazing bands around.
This really gives Ben a chance to show his vocal range.
This cover has my heart
you just got a free replay button
They hit the right notes in the right tone and it would make Freddie happy
im in the music programme and the first time i heard this song was when a girl singing soprano and it sounded so beautiful, of course this is one of the most beautiful songs ever made :D
Love this cover, Breaking Benjamin gives a rock edge to this song but still manages to maintain the emotion like in the original song. Now THAT is talent!!
BB is my all time fav band. none of there songs gets old and never will. i want them to come out with more merch and more stuff. stay well ben
While it’s not better than the original, Benjamin Burnley’s voice is incredible to hear on this.
Better than the original in my opinion. This band has honestly saved my life more times than I can count....
+Derek Gautier no sorry but no.
+João Ribeiro sorry but yes i think the acoustic makes it much more fitting
I agree 100% 10x better then Queen
+Derek Gautier lmao, i love it when people say the covers from their favorite bands are better than the original.. and in this case the legendary Freddie fucking Mercury.
