This song man. I'm a bb fanatic. Every album is amazing. All their new shit. Even saturate is dope af. But dear agony is their best album hands down. Fight me if you don't agree. These songs have a level of replayability that are unmatched in modern rock. Ember is a close second tho. 😸
wow, this is one of his best ones (in my opinion) for me his voice sounds like sand paper when he sings like this, now in his acoustic versions not so much. If anyone can tell me why he sounds like sandpaper it would be nice
@@emmanuelkofyagyapong6382 well to sum it up both of the band members went behind his back and wanted credit for a song (Blow me away) collaborated with a thirdparty if you played halo 2 then that's where it promptly got popular. Ben got mad and took the two of them to court and basically reformed Breaking Benjamin(might have confused something there but that's what I got the impression of.)
@@MsaneGaming you're mistaking aaron and mark for jeremy hummel. Hummel was the original drummer from 2002-2004, and he took ben to court because he felt he wasnt credited enough for blow me away. That led to his firing, and Chad Szeliga would be hired as his replacement. Aaron and Mark were fired after they authorized the label to make the valora remix of - once again - Blow Me Away. At first, they declined the label permission to do so, but then the label offered them $100,000 in exchange for permission to make the remix. Ive heard that this took place during a point in time when the band hadn't been on tour for a while due to Ben's hiatus, so financial stability was probably on mark and Aaron's minds at this point. Assuming this was the case, they accepted the offer. The problem is that they didn't run it through ben... at all. Ben was furious, and promptly fired them and sued them for irreversible damage to the band's reputation. If you wanted to hear a happy ending though, a couple of months ago Mark came onstage to play Firefly, and it appears as if he's on good terms with Ben now.
Those who say the U.S. isn't the best country in the world either are American or ignorant. America is the best simply because of the freedoms we have. There is NO other nation in the world that can compare to the U.S. Why do we have so many people flying in year-round for medical treatment? Because our system doesn't take hundreds of years to work, we don't reject people because of their age or gender, and we are the most advanced in the medical industry. Why do we have so many illegal immigrants flooding our borders to get in? Because America gives them the opportunity to make money, support their families, and even become a whole new person. I can go on and on about all the positives in the U.S.'s favor, but I won't because I think most of you get the point. Yes, I know America isn't perfect, and we are far from what we used to be, and if our Founding Fathers were to see the state in which we have fallen to they would be literally sick, but that doesn't change the fact we are still greater than any other nation to date. Every individual has the opportunity to go to school and get an education, get a job, and live their life the way they want to. No other nation is like that. There are some pretty good nations in the world, but none as good as America is.
Brandough Crox: so you don't agree with appreciating the US armed forces the people that allow you to disagree with and look down on them. You need to rethink your opinion
@@ridgenappier2255 The military is a collection of different characters. While some are purely bloodthirsty there are those who join to help people. Our government's declare war. Our soldiers make the best out of a bad situation. For every life they take they help millions to make up for it. When the public is rioting and people are getting hurt its the military who comes to protect the community. When disaster strikes its the men and women who wear the uniform that gives out food and water to those who needs it. When a drone strike harms innocent civilians the medics are required and encourage to do whatever they can. They are the line between those who will murder and those who will save. Thousands of soldiers live with ptsd and regret over what they've done. However its up to us to remind them of the good they've done and the risks they take. The military as a whole is to defend us and our values and more importantly uphold the difference between right and wrong
I say this because I'm joining to help people who don't have food water and healthcare. There's people with guns who harm other people for the sake of power. People join for the purpose to protect others. You can say whatever you want about the military industrial complex but its our soldiers who has to make the best out of a bad situation. To make a real difference in a cruel world. In the end of the day you can sleep soundly and live the life you want to live because soldiers, police officers, and agencies who willingly join for the sole purpose to help and protect
Why isn't this on the setlist more often? It's an incredible song and Ben executes it perfectly to this day. Should have been a single imo.
i love that he made this song for everybody who fights for us. he is so right and i am glad he talked about the U.S Soldiers
TheDeathwish91296 not just the soldiers he was thanking the whole military
This band should be more popular than Black Veil Brides TBH O~O *waiting for PTV Fans to rage on me*
As a matter of fact BB is already more popular than BVB. if you want check it out on Facebook or Spotify then compare.
That One WWE And metal fanboy they are
Proud to be an American; ashamed of my government........ That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it!!! I am also proud of our Army!!
Doodlebuggie95 your armymen are loyal dogs to the government, you contradict yourself
The army serves the government.

One of his best
I really hope Ben gets the rights to the breaking benjamin name do he can start writing and recording soon

3:57 lol I did that a lot 2013-18 miss those times and this band is one of my role models
This is their only song that has a singular clear cut meaning, and as a combat veteran this is my absolute favorite song ever.
Cuatro 4 personas estan sordas
And i love it
look at 2:00 look at Aaron's sliding i love it when he does it :D
Was that a Gator chomp at the beginning?? NICE.
Is it just me or does the opening of the guitar not pump you up?! Fucking awesome!
Not? You mean does!
This year? As in 2012? I don't think their website has been updated with "real" news since that fail of a music video for Blow Me Away...

wow, this is one of his best ones (in my opinion) for me his voice sounds like sand paper when he sings like this, now in his acoustic versions not so much. If anyone can tell me why he sounds like sandpaper it would be nice
@Sargek11. Its not a rumor. Ben took the guitarist and drummer to court. Look it up

I wish I could say I was surprised Ben, a wealthy person, believes in the myth of American Exceptionalism.
