That is not autotune. You could hear the difference if it was, just because you can't sing like that it doesn't mean that others are as musically challenged as you are.
The year is 2009, I'm listening to breaking Benjamin, Slipknot and Linkin Park, drinking red bull and staying up all night with my buddies online, life is good.
Yep - you have a choice to make. Either spend the rest of your life living in the past or take the future by the ass! I was like you once - but then I decided that regardless of the outcome I would take 100% responsibility for my fate. Sure, since then I have failed greatly as well as experienced some almost miraculous successes but now at 69 years of age I have no fear. Thanks to a no bullshit attitude over the past four decades I can out-run and out-lift most men half my age - and while many of my contemporaries cower at home watching daytime TV reruns I am at the gym or at the job I love (an EE engaged in new product design). OK, 2009 was a great year - that was easy - but starting today make the years to come even better. The way I see it is that even if you die in the process you didn't lose anything and at least gave it hell.
I love that he doesn't hold back vocally even though it's acoustic. I see that happen often when bands go acoustic, the singer will sing softer, lower or even change the melody altogether. Love that Ben stayed as rockin' as ever :)
Cody, totally agree. Acoustic shouldn't always mean go softer, not at all. Most acoustic versions of artists' own songs sap all the energy out of the damn thing!
+Crinngrinder the harmonies on point and the vocal control by Ben is incredible. It stands out so much in his acoustic performances being able to change on point and not miss a beat
For someone who has a disease and sickness as harsh as Ben I don’t expect him to hit every note right. The fact he still puts effort into staying in the band and living the life that comes with breaking Benjamin is all I need to remain a fan.
you said it man! He's Godlike ... I just listened to an accoustic rendition of "Sooner or Later" and I'm still trying to find Planet Earth like i'm just fuckin gone.......
I heard Chevelle at a small venue about fifteen years ago, they sounded just as good live as the CD I have of them. I was blown away by how good live they were. Needless to say they have set a high bar not many I've seen after have accomplished. I've had people tell me that Breaking Benjamin has that quality. I'm waiting to get my chance to see them live!
Those harmonies are absolutely WILD. To be able to do this with the aid of a computer is hard enough, and these two can do it totally acoustic on the spot and it sounds arguably better than the studio version. They don't make bands like these anymore
@@itskodax2931 You should list some because they're getting harder and harder to find. Hubby and I are GenX, and every time we ask kids for their music recs, they either list our stuff or bands that have been around for about 10 years. Where do you find bands like these coming up?
Drop A# C sounds less muddy. Even though they play Baritone acoustics. Tuning a Baritone in Drop C would break the neck with 16-70 gauge strings. I tune up mine Up to max Drop B it bends the neck but at minimum and goes back total straight when lower like Drop A#
Actually i think its drop A which is insane. I tried learning this but I need to get a guitar built for this low tone and I need to get strings built for this heavy sound. I don't know how he gets such amazing tone
Yeah I still remember when I first got the phobia album when it first came out in 2006, I got it in November and also that's when I got my first car a few days later I was 19. And I remember riding around all night going back and forth to get more x pills and I kept playing diary of Jane because I heard it on the radio and that's why I bought the album but I finally just let it play to the next song and breath came on and it blew my mind, riding around all night high as can be this song at that moment had great meaning and gave me chills. So this song stuck with me and I'll never forget that night and that sad depressing time when I was lost in life.
LOL @ this comment. They are using pitch correction in this very video that you're watching. There's not a single major artist on this planet that doesn't use pitch correction in their recording.
I remember this song being the first I have ever heard from them, it breaks my heart to know of Ben's illness and I am so proud of him to be playing again.
@@RONNYfromOZ I agree that it's harder to have sympathy for something that he himself wrought. I would say that the sadness in this case comes from him getting to such a mindset where he felt he needed to drink that much in the first place. To circle it back around to the music, I'm digging the new album alot.
2022 lost my dad last year around Thanksgiving. breaking Benjamin always have had a way of helping alleviate some of my sorrow that I Carry with me as my cross.thank you everyone that had a hand in making this music possible.🥲I love you and miss you dad I'll see you soon
I have no siblings, but such a good friend (we know each other since our birth). Thanks to him i know how it is to have a brother. This has always been our song. Man i love you to death...
there he is! there's ben's voice! took forever for me to find his actual vocals without poor audio, loud acoustics, and too much energy getting in the way. ugh. his voice is actually amazing! and Aaron was quite perfect with backups. it was beautiful! they sound really good together!
It’s 2021.. and I still jam their songs like it’s my first time I’m hearing them. I’m 31, had a miracle child, and my dad just passed away unexpectedly. Their music is the closest thing I can find to how I feel right now.
The amount of talent, practice, and dedication it takes to play guitar like that, harmonize like that, and sing with that amount of passion is extremely impressive. Amazing band.
Breaking Benjamin is such a great band !! Burnley has simply an AMAZING VOICE, tender but harsh and powerful just like corey taylor and adam gontier ... All among the greatest rock singers of the 21st century
Kyle Brindley what a dickhead comment. Ben Burnley is extremely talented. But opinions vary, and dicks like you just have to slam people for having a different one. bravo.
Neil Sprout I agree Ben Burnley is extremely talented he's probably one of the best rock musicians of the last 17 years. I was referring to putting guys like Corey Taylor and Adam Gontier in the same class as him is asinine. So before you go making "dickhead comments", maybe next time you should know the meaning behind my comment before you start assuming shit.
Kyle Brindley right on, maybe I did misunderstand what you meant. If I did, I apologize. I never comment on comments, when I read that I guess it irritated me pretty good. My bad bro.
Neil Sprout I left it open-ended enough for someone to assume I was dogging Ben but that's not the case I would literally kill to have his voice. Lol And I'm also big fans of Corey Taylor and Adam Gontier (old school 3DG, not big on Saint Asonia), but personally I think Ben and the entire band are in a class of their own by far. Definitely one of, if not the biggest rock band of the the entire 2000s.
I'll never forget how I felt when this started making the rounds on youtube! it was a very quiet time for Ben and I wasn't quite sure I would ever hear this man again. Then here he comes out of the the darkness with this great addition in Aaron and a short while later Breaking Benjamin is back! I've loved this man's music from day one album one and will continue to even when the band is no longer! Thank you Ben for all the sacrifices you make so that we can enjoy the perfection you create!
+Leon McDonald I saw BB in concert in December, and it was amazing...sounded just like the recordings, further proving why they're one of my favorite bands
Dude its 2023 and no one has yet to come close. 2 people with guitars and pure acoustic in a radio stream. Still better than what 5 people can do with state of the art tech today. Benjamin Burnley is a master. ... unlike my comment #NoEditingRequired ^no editing somehow became a link to random stuff, most of which I feel like required editing. I guess I don't actually understand how hashtags work.. or maybe people are just stupid idk... either way this song has 0 editing and is just pure mastery from a pair of artists... sorry you had to read this long if you even bothered.
Breaking Benjamin _ never has the music of one band grabbed me, and gave me the strength to look inside myself_ and to love ,value, forgive, and fight for the love that I felt like was lost forever_ Am so grateful to God for your music- one thing that gets under my skin is how people in the organized church think they know or have the right to define worship- My friend, they have not even the slightest!!!!!! BLESS YOU ALL! Thank you Fellas!!!!
Wow I didn't know that was so talented live daaamn they harmonize perfect and his voice is so unique. Hats off to those guys wow what a performance. I wish I could do that live
With the passing of Chris Cornell I honestly think Ben has one of, if not the best "rock n roll" voice today. It would be tough for anyone to edge out Maynard but Ben is certainly up there imho of course
I listened to BB for years on and off, but had never heard this song until I saw them live at aftershock this year. It’s one of those songs that when you first listen to, captivates you. It held on to me, and hasn’t let go since.
Probably the best acoustic version of a song I've ever heard. It maintains all of the original emotion and structure that made this song amazing, but in a clearer stopped down version- very well done guys.
Lyrics: 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 win. So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left. I know that I can find the fire in your eyes. I'm going all the way, get away, please. You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, cause I will 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 what's left. I know that I can find the fire in your eyes. I'm going all the way, get away, please. You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, cause I will be the death of you. I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hiding. You take the breath right out of me. You left a hole where my heart should be. You got to fight just to make it through, cause I will be the death of you.
B G I related to it a lot when I was addicted to heroin. Especially the line “pour the salt into the open wound.” I’ve been clean for almost 8 years now. But this song would hurt when I would listen to it, sicker than sick, on my way to get my fix.
i see many asking for tab to this and it is available but if you really want the tru sound of this song you need more then an acoustic and drop c tuning. if you notice they are both playing baritone guitars. (thick sttings) ¥ built for deep low tuning. ben has a few songs as low as drop A so at that point you need a guitar built for that. such an amazing unique sound. Bens alwayse been an incredible guitar player but his ability to sing so many different harmonys while playing complicated cords and riffs is seriously a pleasure to watch. Aaron the new bass player is a diamondnin the ruff. henusento do solo acoustic sets in North east PA and after hearing him once i knew he would not be playing cover songs in bars for long. my brother showed me YT vids of aarons (new bass player) acoustic shows and BB has never been more talented then now. Aarons back up vocals and a harmony that aaron have been key to this amazing comeback. if you hear aaron just once youlli know that he can sing any part of the spectrum and add that to ben and you have a perfect srrom
I underrated bb for a while, but they have so many songs that actually hit your soul and are catchy as hell, and his voice is so unique. They are now my favorite band of all time and will remain that way, and this is now my favorite performance ive ever seen.
Let's give it up for Aaron too. His harmonies are perfect.
amen xD
Most definitely!
I agree.
It is auto tune but who cares no human is that perfect
That is not autotune. You could hear the difference if it was, just because you can't sing like that it doesn't mean that others are as musically challenged as you are.
2023 and Breaking Benjamin still rocks.
Heard dear agony after a long..i mean after few months....and it made me cry..... breaking Benjamin ❤
They do, my friend.
July 2023 Breaking Benjamin still guitar strumming
They've aged like wine, especially their older material. I listen to Phobia and Dear Agony all the time these days.
My idol
Fuck, those harmonies are on point
exactly what I was thinking just about the whole time. the new guy either is running thru autotune or hes just a boss
+michael hendricks that's the original lead singer Benjamin Burnley

Have you heard "So Cold" acoustic? Magical!
it really is.

does anyone else get goosebumps when they listen to this?
Indeed. It indicates that you're listening to quality music :)
that solo especially

They sound the same live put on a really good show

I love that he doesn't hold back vocally even though it's acoustic. I see that happen often when bands go acoustic, the singer will sing softer, lower or even change the melody altogether. Love that Ben stayed as rockin' as ever :)
No doubt. He still knows how to rock a song, even acoustically.

Correct bro . Ben has a good skill when he performs live
It's some pitch correction on it.. But you still need to sing good to make it sound this good.
1-17-24 and the acoustic notes are so sharp and prominent , the vocals are just perfection. Cheers !

Honestly better than the original because their voices just SHINE acoustically. Incredible.

Breaking Benjamin are the undisputed kings of acoustic metalcore. Nobody can make that acoustic drop C vibe quite like they can!
Jeffery L Thomas they're post-grunge not metalcore haha
I think it's drop Bb/A# but same applies. I wanted to play this song after watching.
Drop A# C sounds less muddy. Even though they play Baritone acoustics. Tuning a Baritone in Drop C would break the neck with 16-70 gauge strings. I tune up mine Up to max Drop B it bends the neck but at minimum and goes back total straight when lower like Drop A#
Actually i think its drop A which is insane. I tried learning this but I need to get a guitar built for this low tone and I need to get strings built for this heavy sound. I don't know how he gets such amazing tone

Lol, funny you should say that. He is very interesting and well, I see a little creature if the night in most of his profile angles..
I don't get tired of this song. It's so awesome
I can't believe this is the first time I've heard this. Love it!
I keep coming back years later
I listened to BB for years on and off, but had never heard this song until I saw them live at aftershock this year. It’s one of those songs that when you first listen to, captivates you. It held on to me, and hasn’t let go since.
best version ever. The words resonate on a deeper level...
Probably the best acoustic version of a song I've ever heard. It maintains all of the original emotion and structure that made this song amazing, but in a clearer stopped down version- very well done guys.
Thats why i LOVE acoustic! Its freakin AMAZING 🤘🖤
im shooketh..... I could listen to this all day
What a classic. One of the greatest songs ever
May 2024 and this is hands-down the best acoustic version of any song I've ever heard.
I'm going to see them live tonight at the Rave,
This is great.
+Jamie Adams It was a good show? the voice of Benjamin remains the same?
+Jonathan Souza Oh yeah. I saw them live in September at Aftershock. They're still the same as ever.
Oh yes, if anything they are much better live!
Jamie Adams I was at that Rave show too ha! Great acoustic performance here.....
This is one of my favorite videos on the internet.
This is honestly one of my favorite songs
Wow, I've never seen this before. That's spectacular. I've always loved this song. 9 years ago. Sounds fresh even today.
Like seriously how can he sound like this What a gift Damn
Lyrics:
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 win.
So sacrifice yourself,
and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find
the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way,
get away, please.
You take the breath
right out of me.
You left a hole where
my heart should be.
You got to fight
just to make it through,
cause I will 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 what's left.
I know that I can find
the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way,
get away, please.
You take the breath
right out of me.
You left a hole where
my heart should be.
You got to fight
just to make it through,
cause I will be the death of you.
I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hiding.
You take the breath
right out of me.
You left a hole where
my heart should be.
You got to fight
just to make it through,
cause I will be the death of you.
i love this fucking song
every word of this song ...i can relate to
Hi Yeyo (I'm Miguel, LOL) :v
B G I related to it a lot when I was addicted to heroin. Especially the line “pour the salt into the open wound.” I’ve been clean for almost 8 years now. But this song would hurt when I would listen to it, sicker than sick, on my way to get my fix.
Ty.
This man right here has a set of lungs on him! Woo! \m/
Yeah, him and Corey from Slipknot have vocal chords of the gods.
perfect acoustic live
You never fail to amaze us , Ben.
You made our teenage years less miserable and still make our adulthood less shitty.
A hug from Brazil for everyone who appreciates good music.
it annoys me to no end that this video doesn't even have 1M views. I'll get it there.
Chewy Chuyi it does now
And here we are with a million views we have succeeded haha
i see many asking for tab to this and it is available but if you really want the tru sound of this song you need more then an acoustic and drop c tuning. if you notice they are both playing baritone guitars. (thick sttings) ¥ built for deep low tuning. ben has a few songs as low as drop A so at that point you need a guitar built for that. such an amazing unique sound. Bens alwayse been an incredible guitar player but his ability to sing so many different harmonys while playing complicated cords and riffs is seriously a pleasure to watch. Aaron the new bass player is a diamondnin the ruff. henusento do solo acoustic sets in North east PA and after hearing him once i knew he would not be playing cover songs in bars for long. my brother showed me YT vids of aarons (new bass player) acoustic shows and BB has never been more talented then now. Aarons back up vocals and a harmony that aaron have been key to this amazing comeback. if you hear aaron just once youlli know that he can sing any part of the spectrum and add that to ben and you have a perfect srrom
Yep, the baritones make this song.
I underrated bb for a while, but they have so many songs that actually hit your soul and are catchy as hell, and his voice is so unique. They are now my favorite band of all time and will remain that way, and this is now my favorite performance ive ever seen.
This is the rarest diamond in the world.
This is the jam 🤘 but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🐺 🎸 🐺
damn back vocals
Eu amo esse som , em acústico ficou lindoooooo 😮
This is literally perfect
UGH. I’m Maynard obsessed, but THIS!!! Melts my heart. Every. Time.
There are so many ways that I love Breaking Benjamin and this is one of them.
This is 100x better than the produced version.
These guys are mad talented
