    Chester was just like this he was such a kind person. I meant him in 2015 and I told him how crawling saved me from suicide as a child and he hugged me he told me what my mother nor father ever said...I'm glad you're here. Rip Chester I miss you man so much you don't even know.

      @@MarcoGarcia-lg5tl ABOUT THAT, he screams for the dumbest reasons ever. Billie just screams FOR GETTING THEIR TIME CUT, so entitled when something he doesn't agree with happens... like people see it differently but they are completely different. Ben is that tit that people appreciate because he is grateful and is generally energetic and happy. Billie can put on a show WHAT HE CAN ALSO DO IS THROW A TANTRUM, something Benjamin has never done. So as you they are the same you are WRONG. Of course you'd want to reply in a hateful way, but if your going to reply EXPLAIN your logic and not just scream at me for crushing every thing you thought about Billie. Just explaining how they are different that is all, can't stress that enough.

    Besides the actual song the lead singer said something that will forever stick in my mind. At 1:15 he told the parent/guardian would come up with the 3 kids. He’s a little more responsible than not to ask the parent/guardian to stand with the kids.That’s respect and looking out for the kids of the future. #BreakingBenjamin

    The kids singing along with him is just amazing. Probably the best concerts I have ever been to have been these two bands.

    I love how the kids just sang along ....
    He made these kids so happy and gave them an experience that they will NEVER forget. I’ve always loved Breaking Ben, but this gave me a new level of adoration❤️😍.

    I love the kid throwing up metal at the end! Also this was so cool. They'll always be fans of BB now. I'm still a fan of theirs. A lot of early 00's bands have phased out but BB are stronger than ever and I think that's due to the strong songwriting. Their style really hasn't changed since the early days and yet it still feels and sounds fresh. Good band. Great Dudes.

    I LOVE Breaking Benjamin and I LOVE this video. Not only is it awesome that Ben brought them onstage but, it's amazing to see parents exposing their children to such great music. That one little boy was rocking out singing every word. I loved it.

    they opened for Avenged Sevenfold? should be the other way around....What a cool moment though. BB is the best!

      Yes, BB opened for Avenged Sevenfold. 1 hour set BB, 2 hours Avenged set. They opened for Avenged,.

      no offence to avenged sevenfold but I'd rather watch BB play. Love both of them but got the love for BB!

    • @cailondelano6239
      @cailondelano6239 6 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Larry Rodriguez If Avenged was still making nightmare albums they would be a far bigger band. Even still they are. I love breaking benjamin but Avenged Sevenfold is the ultimate band. Thier musicians are top notch like Syn Gates is literally one of the best guitar players ever

    • @polop2301
      @polop2301 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Aveneged sevenfold is a good band but not really my cup of tea. But Breaking Benjamin is incredible. i wish they came to California more often though.

    After listening and memoring every song u have since ur first aldum, Saturate, IM FINALLY GOING TO A CONCERT! Since I was 16 year old kid until now and for forever I have been singing my heart out to every word u sing. And my wife recognized the love I have for u and surprise me with tickets to ur show. I never thought I could have loved her more but I do now. There's no words to describe how I feel... I thought excitement left my life after reaching 30 but I am so beyond stoked for this opportunity... It's really a 15 year long dream coming true. Half of my life has been a dream until September!!!!oh... And btw.. my wife is 7 weeks pregnant and we r naming our son Benjamin if it's a boy!!!
