You may be referring to when he had a lung infection a few years ago. He muscled his way through a lot of live performances because he's dedicated to the fans, but it definitely affected his singing ability. When it comes to his raw singing ability, he's one of the most natural singers in music today.
Since 2008 he's had bronchitis or a lung infection, and had surgery and everything. That really takes a toll on a singer, and he's had to take it easy.
Clearly it's not affecting shit....i smoke and drink and been a musician for 30 years.... Some people can do it, some people can't, I will call those people inadequate... The lifestyle comes with certain challenges.... You can be a wimp or you could be a fucking hero
@@skirvymanevergladesfloraan624 Are you calling him an inadequate wimp then? He did have a lung infection and it very much so did affect shit (his singing capabilities). If you’re that much better, where’s your live acoustic
I'm sick of hearing about auto-tune, especially on BB videos. Why can no one accept the fact that he's an amazing singer? Also, i feel like people are continuously mistaking auto-tune for simple post-production editing. On the album version, of course some bits will be edited, either while putting the different pieces together, or if the bit is perfect except for one piece that might be pitchy, and after singing for hours/days, is not worth the time and money to go back and re-do. Studio time costs money, and you normally only get a short period of time in one, unless you own one or other cases where you might be allowed continual use. But even then, that'll cost money. And if you're saying it on this live version, you must not be listening, because I can hear multiple instances where his voice breaks, or goes slightly off-key. And that's fine, it's live and you're singing multiple songs one after another.
it's possibly to apply autotune to only certain parts. voice breaks can be hard to interpret correctly by the software used so it can thus be left. You hearing voice breaks is therefore no guarantee that no autotune or pitch correction has been used. If you are experienced whatsoever with pitch correction software, you will hear that it is applied a bit on this performance. There are parts where his voice fluctuates naturally, but the tone is still steady which makes it sound artificial and that is what gives it away. Now, this has been done in post- production. There are audience recording that sound different than this so they certianly did play it live and then touched it up in post-production.
Ludvig Burman Your comment was nice and calm and relaxed. It makes it easier to listen to. All other arguers, would make an angry statement, and belittle me and the vocalist all the same. But because your comment was relaxed it makes it easier to agree with you. I see your point. And I can agree with it.
Auto tune is an important digital tool! Especially for seperately recorded tracks...it has its place. To see if people don't know what they're talking about, ask them the difference between, tune, tone, note, pitch, overtone, and harmonics, then after they're done, go grab a coffee because between the music writer's intentions, and your ear, are countless variables that influence your impression of the message... To focus on a single thing like autotune when you have no real viewpoints of all the other cogs...idk...
It's called *post production.* During these years he was going through that lung infection or whatever he has and they cleaned it up in post production. He sounded horrible during his live concerts those years because of his illness. He's still an amazing singer and since then his health and voice has improved.
Foolishly people assume you can’t rock hard when playing acoustic. One can do what ever they wish especially when selling out venues. Love the drummers passion. Vocals are dynamic and powerful. Would love the acoustic to cut through the mix more but all good. Great song
I agree. Unfortunately singing the way he has for so long (having to sing every part of every song) and being sick like he is, he definitely is not the same singer he was at this time. It's sad because his voice was so amazing and now depending on the show, it seems like he struggles with getting through most of the songs.
@@azdrummer1 I'll give you one, Breaking Benjamin before he got sick. Always sounded really good. Now you can tell he struggles at a lot of his concerts.
i love how he is lip sync his own song. and yet still making money. yet you are complaining.. ENTERTAINMENT. if it wasn't for youtube you wouldn't see this. I love how you making your money and no one complains. get over yourself.
I see nothing in your eyes And the more I see the less I like Is it over yet In my head I know nothing of your kind And I won't reveal your evil mind Is it over yet I can't wait So sacrifice yourself And let me have whats left I know that I can find The fire in your eyes I'm going all the way Get away You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you This will be all over soon Pour salt into the open wound Is it over yet Let me in So sacrifice yourself And let me have whats left I know that I can find The fire in your eyes I'm going all the way Get away You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you I'm waiting I'm hating Realize Start hiding You take the breath right out of me You left a hole where my heart should be You gotta fight just to make it through 'Cause I'll be the death of you
lol this is a pro shot video that has been cleaned up in post production due to Ben's illness during those years affecting his singing ability. Not trying to take anything away from him, but I just wanted to inform you.
Was not a fan of them when they came out, but going down a rabbit hole for other artists brought me to this song. Wish i listened to them ehen they first came out.
muito boa a musica, e o cantor tem a voz perfeita, muitas musicas da banda sao muito boas cara, eu curto quase todas. sao cançoes top mesmo vale a pena conferir.
Can't link the article, (TH-cam doesn't allow links) but here's the full quote from said article: On February 11, 2012 Cameron Edney from Hardrock Haven sat down with Szeliga and asked him about the future of Breaking Benjamin to which he replied, " I am just looking to get back in the studio with Breaking Benjamin… Yes, I’m answering the question that everybody asks me every day… Breaking Benjamin is still together. We will definitely and hopefully be doing another record in the future!"[
"The dispute between Benjamin Burnley, who is the sole founder, primary musician, singer and songwriter..Benjamin Burnley retains his right to use his band name and Breaking Benjamin will continue." Ben is the f***ing whole band!!
you have to be pretty close to the note for the software to work correctly, but I could be wrong of course! a lot of major bands use it, and it's not obvious it's working
I enjoy their lineup nowadays way more. These guys were dirtbags for going behind his back to release music he didn't want released. Plus, their bassist now CRUSHES the harmonies. So good live.
Just one question.. i saw a entire normal live, where Bens's voice is.. bad. The i listened to this whole set, and it's AMAZING! so.. is it playback? did he had problems at the recording of the old live?

Not only one of the best voices in the industry and yet hits octaves people wish they could even some women just could not even do it or should I say can't. But chewing bubble gum? Lol!!! Most blind people don't realize they are viewing and listening to an epic performance. I would challenge any great singer to put bubble gum in their mouth and get up there and do that. Ben is the greatest
The scream is just out of anyone’s league
no

I lost my wife 5 years ago and this song reminds me of her every time I hear it
Since 2008 he's had bronchitis or a lung infection, and had surgery and everything. That really takes a toll on a singer, and he's had to take it easy.
I got serious chills hearing the band and the crowd sing "is it over yet"
This makes me want to cry it's so fucking perfect oh man
Too
For those wondering, he's chewing menthol gum to call himself down/ help with his lungs due to smoking and drinking
Clearly it's not affecting shit....i smoke and drink and been a musician for 30 years.... Some people can do it, some people can't, I will call those people inadequate... The lifestyle comes with certain challenges.... You can be a wimp or you could be a fucking hero

Nick's harmonies. A whole other level.
Simply some of the best music ever written
His voice is so awesome!

His voice sound so fucken awesome live
i feel like his sickness is impactin his performances these days. This was probably the best ive heard him live for breath.

He is the same talented singer, his tones are just not the same. But yeah,. I get what you're saying
Andrea Beeler Yup that's exactly what I think
Az Drummer matchbox 20
@@azdrummer1 I'll give you one, Breaking Benjamin before he got sick. Always sounded really good. Now you can tell he struggles at a lot of his concerts.
Lol I love how he is chewing gum and still sounds perfect!
If I remember right it's some sort of gum that helps his throat ease up and open up because of his illness.
@@TTGOz gum also just helps produce saliva to keep the throat lubricated
i love how he is lip sync his own song.
and yet still making money.

They are writing some new materials at the moment, Ben has confirmed that they have not broken up and they plan to start recording again soon.
Amazing singer.

He's an amazing singer

Acoustics sounds better and clean with original vocals. Thats a good performance.
Epic sound )
"The dispute between Benjamin Burnley, who is the sole founder, primary musician, singer and songwriter..Benjamin Burnley retains his right to use his band name and Breaking Benjamin will continue."
Ben is the f***ing whole band!!
best ive heard his vocals in a long time that's sweet, makes me wonder if they used pitch correction in post, i didn't hear any errors?
you have to be pretty close to the note for the software to work correctly, but I could be wrong of course! a lot of major bands use it, and it's not obvious it's working
georgous.
Fuck I hope so. My favourite band by a long, LONG way.
They best be making another album.....
yep most of the time I agree
I enjoy their lineup nowadays way more. These guys were dirtbags for going behind his back to release music he didn't want released. Plus, their bassist now CRUSHES the harmonies. So good live.
They are the breaking benjamin and they wont bow untill the end they have breath to find a plave in diary of Jane
Bhaskar Deb 👌
Bhaskar Deb what do you mean “the” breaking Benjamin. And I think you mean place. Also what do their songs have to do with this.
people have no idea what auto tune even is or how it works
so you are saying he uses auto tune?
in this performance there has been come pitch correction done in post-production
Ludvig Burman "Pitch correction" 😂😂😂😂.
Felipe Bernardes as evidenced by his non fluctuating voice and the fact that it sounds different than the audience recordings
I love
I like this
wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Salz in einer offenen Wunde... ❤️
Sounds good
He and some others are working on new stuff. Posted a pic on twitter a month ago.

its not auto tune its cuz three guys sing over eachother at certain times

Who is Nick Coyle
The drummer obviously doesn't know its an acoustic performance.
Am I the only one missing the old bb?🥺
