Breaking Benjamin was the music we listened to when we made Gears of War at Epic. I cant hear them without remembering the days of a group of us artist in a small room rocking out to Breaking Benjamin and remembering that amazing time. They have no idea how their music influenced Gears of Wars art team! I finally got to see them in concert and it was like a religious experience because freakin Ben mentioned that game at a concert in Raleigh!! Love that dude!!!
I was 12 when my friends got a 360 and gow. It was an experience like no other. Those really were the times. Makes perfect sense that bb was the backdrop to the artwork
Ben is a shining light in the darkness that is my life. He's an awesome singer, father, and human being. I wish him and everyone around him nothing but success and happiness!
Ben, don’t ever feel the need to change or follow trends. You’re consistently great, and more people love that they know they can expect a Breaking Benjamin song from Breaking Benjamin.
BB was my go to when i lost my older brother on Easter this year. Dear Agony, Ashes of Eden and Breath helped me through it. Then Awaken dropped and has given me hope. My older brother introduced me to BB and i like to think its him talking to me through Ben. Thank you for being you BB.
Awaken is the best song they’ve released since the Dear Agony album. I loved Dark Before Dawn (not a big fan of ember) but Awaken brought tears to my eyes because it triggered nostalgia and the lyrics are classic breaking Benjamin, grand and vague enough for everyone to have their own personal interpretation.
Prepare for supreme disappointment, you won't SEE Benjamin, he hides out in the back like a weirdo, and his bassist sings most of the songs. it's bizarre.
You sure as hell do! I’ve seen them live 5 times and their shows never get old! They put on one hell of a show and BB is easily top 3 if not the best live show I’ve ever seen. 🫶🏻
Awesome Breaking Benjamin Song “Awaken”, Interview Here With Ben! Inspiring Song, These Guys Always Sound Consistenty So Great All These Years!! 😎🙌🎤🎸🥁🖤✨♥️
Don't change a thing; that's what makes it so great. I've been listening from the beginning and saw your last two shows in Houston and Austin. Great Job, and I love to see your son up on stage.
Your doing great and yes one very different very very heavy song is allowed just to show you guys can and you are entitled to it as well you deserve it but yeah staying to your roots is a right call 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Benjamin is saying the exact thing Chester Bennington said, you have fans who want them to stick to their old sound while you have another group of fans that complain that they sound repetitive. you can’t have both.
It's basically what most of the artists and bands are trying to do with new album releases. But there is a contrary between BB and LP. Breaking Benjamin always stayed true to their sound. It's difficult for me to tell from which album which song is. However with Linkin Park each album is a diffrent sound. They're pushing themselves in area's they haven't been whereas Breaking Benjamin stick to their core with subtle new elements everytime.
@ yep, I can give you an example, never again off of dark before Dawn just sounds like the diary of Jane but sped up. if you hear a LINKIN PARK song, you know what album it’s off of.
Man, this album sounds like it’s gonna be a much better version than ember was. I didn’t really like ember that much. but I can’t wait to hear this new album though.
Ember somehow sounded rushed IMO but it was still a great album. Definitely heavier than Dark Before Dawn and Dear Agony which isn’t a bad thing and could explain why I say it sounded rushed with all the layering and heavier chords in the mix. Still my favorite band of all time! I met Ben Burnley way back in 2009 at my very first concert live when they played at the then DECC Arena in Duluth, MN and it’s a moment I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. Such a great performer and even greater dude. 🫶🏻🤘🏻
@ yep, for me, it just sounds overproduce, it sounds like Benjamin used way too much autotune on his voice. not to mention feed the wolf and yourself save sound boring to me.
Damn... watching this interview, Ben has lost the passion. He's just doing it to pay the bills. I'm sure writing is a lot of fun but after that, being a part of a business and his illness is just a drag. I love BB but damn...I hope they take the time they need to find their way or go their own ways

@@billgreen6460 your art inspired others as well. Hope you're doing great things in life!
Bro lol I have always correlated the 2 since I was a child that’s crazy how on the nose BB is for Gears and now I have confirmation thank you
I’ll never forget Mad World when the GoW 1 trailer first dropped. Perfect game
Gears was fantastic, the early art was my desktop background for a while, beautiful work!
Ben is a shining light in the darkness that is my life. He's an awesome singer, father, and human being. I wish him and everyone around him nothing but success and happiness!
Let Jesus be the light in your darkness

Ben is such a sweet gentleman I need to see breaking Benjamin live.
they are INSANE live...I saw them back w/ the old members but I imagine now (w/ new members) they (well Ben anyways) aree better than ever!

YES YOU DO! They are so good live. My favorite band!!! I’ve seen them a couple times!
Please see them live as soon as you get the chance! I saw them in the spring of 2023 and it was super high energy and a fantastic setlist!
I love how humble and down to earth Ben is
One of the best bands of the last 20 years!
Still a fan from the start will never change.
Best Ben has ever looked and sounded 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

I hope far away is on the new album
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥Love B
I love Breaking Benjamin but for me the best version of Breaking Benjamin will always be Ben Burnley, Aaron Fink, Mark Klepaski and Chad Szeliga. 🤘🔝🙌

Ben, brother, start picking singles. The only gripe I’ve ever had about Breaking Benjamin is they leave some of their best songs on B-sides.
"no hurry" Yeah, because six freaking years isn't a long time enough already... cripes
Damn... watching this interview, Ben has lost the passion. He's just doing it to pay the bills. I'm sure writing is a lot of fun but after that, being a part of a business and his illness is just a drag. I love BB but damn...I hope they take the time they need to find their way or go their own ways
then: i wanna thank ben for breaking my fucking mic
now: i wanna thank ben for this $2,000 bill
Ben seems high af and I'm here for it! Sounds so down to earth. I will 100% see BB live again before the end of my days. .
Dude needs to shut up and just let Ben talk
BB is amazing. Even better live. Incredible band
Sooo good live
One of the best. Peak album quality all the time.
You are nuts. They are terrible live. Not sure what concert you are talking to but they've been awful in person for about the last 5 years.
