except the change in chorus. making something your own is one thing. but changing something already worked out into perfection? bold, but wrong choice.
justsherman4 except he didn’t change the chorus, in the original acoustic rendition of the song released back with the album, Ben also sings the chorus in a similar manner
Your vocals remained amazingly true to the original version. You sounded just like Ben Burnely, with your own unique flavor. And of course you shredded that axe like it was your job. *______*
Adrian Huhn Check out the cover by BeforeTheChase. Way way way better. Way less forced with the singing too. So much better that their view counts should absolutely be swapped. It's embarrassing.
Sad you don't have anymore covers like this. No band, no mixing with your voice, just raw. This stuff is powerful. Been a fan for years ! Always come back to your stuff when I'm feeling like I need a pick me up or just need to be humbled! Thanks for always doing that for me!
Breaking Benjamin is still one of my most favorite bands, and has been for like 7 years... stumbling across covers that do the song and band justice, makes me happy and this is one of the covers that I genuinely enjoy listening to.
Can't believe I'm FINALLY just now coming across this cover 😲 2017 GREAT WORK JON!! Holy shit.. you are truly blessed. Best by far- can't wait to hear more!
Here in 2020...... the year that one unmentionable cover went viral..........I needed to come back and listen to this again. Thank you for this. It's redemption for my ears even 10 years later
Same...I still go to this video to watch this song because its better than the actual band's version...any version lol. Awesome job JP. I learned this song from you so thanks
He is a singer 😊 some of the greatest musicians in the world are people are we will never know of.. Some of my favorite artist are individuals just like him found on youtube. Performing a song not for money but because they enjoy it and hope that others who come across their creation enjoy it just as much as they do..
First time I ever heard you play....and it was very extravagant!!!! 😜 You also have an outstanding voice!! Sounds just like the original!! I absolutely loved it cause you absolutely killed it, real talk!!!! Keep on playing, my friend!! 😣 Eric
The cover that finally helped me grasp the singing technique..I watched your cover so many years ago..maybe a little more than 7 years and I still love it 😍
Dude Come Back! You could be soooooo Freaking huge!!!!!!!! I know its tough out here trying to make it in the Music Industry but you have an amazing Voice! Your videos are all going in a playlist and played on repeat. Gonna get your view count up so you have no choice but to continue to post content!
Well thank you VERY much Amanda. :) I really appreciate all of the support from so many awesome people on here. And I read EVERY comment. Don't always get a chance to reply... but I read them all.
I was not expecting this. I didn't think it would stand out against the other covers I've seen of this song, and it doesn't just stand out. It surpasses them. I absolutely love this.
I watched this cover when it first came out. I always find myself coming back to it. One of the best covers of Breaking Benjamin. You still make music?
Can play the guitar, I'm sure I cant sing. But I have ears, and in no way does he sound like Ben or good at that. It sounds like hes straining to reach those notes and it sounds forced and not authentic. Dude can shred on the guitar though, give credit where it's due
I'm in the very end of 2021 and I LOVE this version. I really hope you have pursued some kind of career in music brother. You really shouldn't stop. If this was on spotify, I'd add it immediately. Keep up the great work!
Bro, your vocals are insane. I never heard such a good cover of Breaking Benjamin. I loved every single second of listening this, i'm actually replaying it a lot. I'm making sure people are getting to hear this as well! Keep up the awesome work!! ;)
How is this the first time I've ever heard this version? Insanely good my guy, vocals literally had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up to hear this epic cover.
Think I first listened to this cover in maybe 2010 or so. Still the best acoustic cover of this song on TH-cam or anywhere else in 2024. I don't know what you're doing now, bro, but I sure hope you're still playing.
You were playing the intro, and I was like "Okay... instrumentals are fun!" and then you opened your fucking mouth and BLEW ME AWAY! Keep going, from one musician to another ♥
Wow, All you haters need to get the fuck off this mans page!! Ive seen Breaking Ben. many times in conert and this man covers this song as good if not better than the original frontman! Amazing voice and i like that you added your own flavor to it! Keep doing you!!!!
First words out of my mouth when you started to sing. " Holy shit. " Can't believe I found this 11 years later . . . . Good shit my man - hope all is well. Jesus dude.
Wow , good job ! Sounded real close to lead singer , the guatir hit ever note ! Got a band of my own , trying to get off the ground , don't play gutair , play bass , (in simple ) and vocals , I think you nailed it as well ! Peace -420
Dude, Im a HUGE Breaking Benjamin fan....I dont like most covers, but you make this version your own. People usually fail by attempting to emulate Ben...but the way you change it FOR YOU rocks.
LOL! I was watching this and thinking, "the 'You really are' part just astounds me." Then I see my own comment from 8 years ago. I guess still rings true.
Still watching in 2019! I remember being a teenager and going to the local library or boys and girls club to print out tabs and watch people do acoustic covers to motivate me to be a good guitar player lol yes, you inspired me lol
WHY THE HELL IS THERE HATE ON THIS VIDEO. I got Panda Express grease all over my keyboard to type this comment...This is INCREDIBLE dude...like seriously. AWESOME JOB MAN!
Your voice is absolutely perfect for Breaking Benjamin covers. The tuning and key of your cover is extremely pretty for your version. Keep it up! Your voice is fantastic!
Not everyone needs to fit into the existing niche of a genre. Jon sounds amazing and honestly his singing send chills down my spine. That's plain raw talent. No need to change anything.
If you are watching in 2024, you ARE a legend🔥
Yes Sir!!!!
🤜🏻
❤❤❤
It's 2022 and I still don't know how this guy hadn't gotten more exposure this is raw talent right here
that's because he doesn't upload anymore..
2023@@Daniel-kb3mf
@@Daniel-kb3mfmaybe he moved to the city and became an accountant 🤷♂️
you need a lot of luck to be famous. a lot of people have talent today
2024 here, and this comment still.holds up
13 years later this is still the best cover of this song on TH-cam. Even in 240p
2020 here. Still showing love
except the change in chorus. making something your own is one thing. but changing something already worked out into perfection? bold, but wrong choice.

andremm4456 I stand corrected
@@justsherman4 i wish he would have sung the outro tho. thats the best part of this song vocally.
@@TheGrantRomigExp hey is he still around?
15 years later and still the best cover of this song
Unreal bro! Watching this 8 years later and its still sick lol
Corey Oates yessir!
Yep...somehow it gets remembered and I am back mindblown as always.
Pål I'm two weeks in the future from you and I remember watching him years ago! Still an excellent singer.
Hell yeah me too man! I think 10k views is me lol
I agree
I remember watching this over and over in the public library back in 2009, man where did the time go?
Still the best Breaking Benjamin cover ever 🙏
Your vocals remained amazingly true to the original version. You sounded just like Ben Burnely, with your own unique flavor. And of course you shredded that axe like it was your job. *______*
Your version made the attempt I uploaded to my channel seem quite meager and insignificant.
***** don't be a troll man this kid is good.
Adam Degrace
Not against him I'm against the people saying he's better than Ben himself which is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard...
I went looking for your cover you mentioned that you uploaded but it looks that you deleted it
When your voice is more beautiful than the guitar you play. True talent.
Agreed. I'm gonna sub just for this. Makes me wanna do my own covers!
This fkn voice is amazing.
So much hate on this video.. I love this cover. A lot of emotion, very raw. Amazing cover man!
3 so far and 2 of them make no sense at all so i would not say its "much hate" here... he is the best in doing covers from Breaking Beniamin so far...
Adrian Huhn Check out the cover by BeforeTheChase. Way way way better. Way less forced with the singing too. So much better that their view counts should absolutely be swapped. It's embarrassing.
I think you did not understand... I just written up there that there are not so many hates on this video at all...
Andy Geahan it's called passion lol there's nothing wrong with this cover and it's not embarrassing at lol -.-
@@grumpypoof9648 you're a grown man with a cat avatar. opinion irrelevant.

YESSS SING IT! 7 years later and this Cover is still a banger!
I really like how you combined all 3 guitar parts into 1
2024 and have been checking back and coming back to this cover for a good 7 years! So good!
Still havnt found anyone to come as close to Ben's voice as this guy. amazing.
This makes me tear up every time I watch it.. why do I keep coming back?!?!?! hahaha you sound so much like Ben Burnley, it hurts.
Can't believe I'm FINALLY just now coming across this cover 😲 2017
GREAT WORK JON!! Holy shit.. you are truly blessed. Best by far- can't wait to hear more!

His voice sounds like Benjamin Bernley,seriously man,why you're not a singer?
He is a singer 😊 some of the greatest musicians in the world are people are we will never know of.. Some of my favorite artist are individuals just like him found on youtube. Performing a song not for money but because they enjoy it and hope that others who come across their creation enjoy it just as much as they do..
I watched this 9 years ago when it first came out and I'm watching it today. Still one of the best so cold covers out there
13 years later this still shows up for me. I always listen. So damn good.
Amazing. I wish you would have sung the “alright” outro tho. That’s my favorite part of this song.
First time I ever heard you play....and it was very extravagant!!!! 😜 You also have an outstanding voice!! Sounds just like the original!! I absolutely loved it cause you absolutely killed it, real talk!!!! Keep on playing, my friend!! 😣 Eric
2023 here, i remember watching this 15 years ago and I had to return.
The cover that finally helped me grasp the singing technique..I watched your cover so many years ago..maybe a little more than 7 years and I still love it 😍
Still my favorite cover of this song! :D You rock. \m/
Dude after 10 years it's still the awesome man you should do a re=cover of this song and put the said cover-up on iTunes :)
People that hate on this have zero idea how hard it is to play and sing so well good job
all these years later and still here thinking this is far better than the original, and wondering whatever happened to you.
Dude Come Back! You could be soooooo Freaking huge!!!!!!!! I know its tough out here trying to make it in the Music Industry but you have an amazing Voice! Your videos are all going in a playlist and played on repeat. Gonna get your view count up so you have no choice but to continue to post content!

Only dbags would say something negative about this cover.
The same fools can't sing OR play the guitar.
Nice job on the cover!
his voice scared me because of how nice it is
i think this cover is fucking amazing and i cant sing or play guitar
Omg he plays it nust like me wished I had his voice
Dbag definition... People with an opinion that you don't like.
Can play the guitar, I'm sure I cant sing. But I have ears, and in no way does he sound like Ben or good at that. It sounds like hes straining to reach those notes and it sounds forced and not authentic. Dude can shred on the guitar though, give credit where it's due
Find myself coming back to this all the time. Well done bro! F'n amazing
2022 and nobody puts so much soul in this song as this guy
Holy shit amazing performance! Strong Vocals!
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm in the very end of 2021 and I LOVE this version. I really hope you have pursued some kind of career in music brother. You really shouldn't stop. If this was on spotify, I'd add it immediately. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely sick man. One of the best covers on TH-cam ever.
You sounds like the the lead singer from trapt.
Darius Mendes mixed with Ben from BB
still watching this at 2019
*I'm in awe!*
Bro, your vocals are insane. I never heard such a good cover of Breaking Benjamin.
I loved every single second of listening this, i'm actually replaying it a lot.
I'm making sure people are getting to hear this as well! Keep up the awesome work!! ;)
damn son, what a voice
Amazing vocals. Great work. Although I was bummed out that you didn't do Ben's ending when he sings "It's all right! It's all right!"
You're the first person i have ever seen that actually likes that ending lol
Xejj Now 2nd.
Xejj
3rd
I dont care this was in october, stop commenting
Xejj Nah.
How is this the first time I've ever heard this version? Insanely good my guy, vocals literally had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up to hear this epic cover.
Think I first listened to this cover in maybe 2010 or so. Still the best acoustic cover of this song on TH-cam or anywhere else in 2024. I don't know what you're doing now, bro, but I sure hope you're still playing.
If you can play on potato quality and still sound good then that's pretty fucking good, mane
His voice is gr8
Cousin Jon (in the northeast, everyones a "cousin"), gotta come back every few years n remind you this is STILL the shit. God Bless man
2024 and still rocking your stuff man ❤
You should try some seether covers
well shit
was not expecting that
i’m only 10 years late 🤷♀️😂
came across this again. & AGAIN WOW!! such great vocals (&while playing) killer man!!
Why is there so much hate. He has an amazing voice. The haters can't sing or play guitar and they're hating out of jealousy. This cover was godly.
You were playing the intro, and I was like "Okay... instrumentals are fun!" and then you opened your fucking mouth and BLEW ME AWAY!
Keep going, from one musician to another ♥
Wow, All you haters need to get the fuck off this mans page!! Ive seen Breaking Ben. many times in conert and this man covers this song as good if not better than the original frontman! Amazing voice and i like that you added your own flavor to it! Keep doing you!!!!
Agreed.. imho he's kinda better than Ben.. I love Ben's voice.. but live he kinda.. well, not sucks, but also not the best ^^
TheCovenant2 I'd still give an arm if it ensured letting me watch him live.
Especially after his smoke free days
Danny lee original is best
First words out of my mouth when you started to sing. " Holy shit. " Can't believe I found this 11 years later . . . . Good shit my man - hope all is well. Jesus dude.
Just found this in '23. First time I've been blown away by a cover in a long time!
Here in 2019?
ben burnley #2
omg man, i saw this video three years ago and still listen to it!!! awesome job man
Bro I remember seeing this for the first time in high school. This shit still blows my mind how much raw talent he has
\m/
Hard to watch...
Absolutely BLOWN AWAY by this cover!!!!!
Wow! It’s 2022, just found this and it’s awesome! Love Breaking Benjamin! You definitely gave this song Justice!
Didn't know Eminem could sing Breaking Benjamin...
Did it take you 8 years to come up with this joke?
RainbowBelow the best jokes take time to make
This guy is good, i was say he was amazing. i give him his credit, but hes nothing like Ben
Seriously blew my mind your voice is out of this world!!! I love it!!!
I hope you are in a famous rockband now. I LOVE this cover. I love your voice!
I hear some three doors down in this voice or something
Wow , good job ! Sounded real close to lead singer , the guatir hit ever note ! Got a band of my own , trying to get off the ground , don't play gutair , play bass , (in simple ) and vocals , I think you nailed it as well ! Peace -420
Was NOT expecting that voice to come out! Very beautiful!!!
Bro, this is incredible. As a die hard breaking Benjamin fan, Ben needs to see this. You’ve got incredible talent!
Dude, Im a HUGE Breaking Benjamin fan....I dont like most covers, but you make this version your own. People usually fail by attempting to emulate Ben...but the way you change it FOR YOU rocks.
Really great. The "You really are" line gives me chills. This song moves me.
LOL! I was watching this and thinking, "the 'You really are' part just astounds me." Then I see my own comment from 8 years ago. I guess still rings true.
I did NOT expect the voice of god to come bellowing out! Wow! DUUUUUUDE! Nice!
i remember watching this video and loving it way back when. Here i am 10 years later watching it again
Still watching in 2019! I remember being a teenager and going to the local library or boys and girls club to print out tabs and watch people do acoustic covers to motivate me to be a good guitar player lol yes, you inspired me lol
Dude is a TH-cam o.g and his skills are undeniable. Sick job dude!
10/10 best BB cover on TH-cam. And it’s not close.
you're in beast mode dude!! thats the voice people need
WHY THE HELL IS THERE HATE ON THIS VIDEO. I got Panda Express grease all over my keyboard to type this comment...This is INCREDIBLE dude...like seriously. AWESOME JOB MAN!

I thought you were just doing the guitar part at first, and then you started singing, and I gasped. You're freaking fantastic.
