Yeah that’s in my top 3. I don’t listen to many of these bands anymore but BB I always go back too. The first song I heard that got me hooked about 20 years ago was “Water”, absolute banger! They managed to write such good and consistent music for 15+ years. Insane. “I will not bow”, was and is still a banger. Probably my 2nd fav after Water. That whole album was 🔥
Good song, but honestly “Home”, “Diary of Jane” and “Natural Life” are my favourites. “Saturate” was easily their best album. So groovy and unique. They got really predictable after that which isn’t necessarily bad, because they make great tracks. But it feels like they were a bit more fun and energetic on “Saturate” that has been lost over the years.
These guys are hometown heroes for me. I used to watch them play in small clubs and garages through North East PA, specifically Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. I remember calling into 97.9x Rocks, the local Rock Station on the radio located in Hazelton, PA, over 500 times myself in the course of three months asking to hear their song polyamorous. Finally, the radio station got a copy, played it live, and the rest is history. A few years later their single "Blow Me Away" was the featured track on the Halo 2 soundtrack and they were a hit internationally. It's crazy to think that almost 20 years ago, I used to go on a Friday night and hear them play their music. Some stuff I'd hear those nights wouldn't make it to album for a decade or more. If you thought that this version was good, listen to the acoustic version. Also, "Rain" is one of their core fandom favorites. The pure, raw emotion in Ben's voice is paralysing.
@@thomasromich9953 Plan 9 I think. But I don't believe that they recorded anything under that name. Breaking Benjamin was the only name that they used on album/demo. Aaron and Mark were in a band called Lifer I think. This was like 23 years ago now, hard to remember. lol
One time I stayed with my cousins for a month in McAdoo, which is a small town by Hazelton. I’ve also been to Hazleton several times when I was staying in McAdoo. This was in 1980. In 1998, I flew in to Wilkes-Barre to attend my step dad’s funeral. His family wanted him to be buried close to them. It’s funny how 3 bands that I really like came out of that area. Breaking Benjamin, Halestorm, and Live. Btw, I was born in Los Angeles and raised in Burbank, CA. Nowhere near Pennsylvania, but my stepdad came over to California from Pennsylvania after he was in the army.
Nice reaction choice! Definitely check out their big hit The diary of Jane. Other good ones that will give you chills are Evil Angel, I will not bow, Dance with the Devil, Breath, Torn in Two, Blow me Away, Phase. But all of their songs are worth checking out!
Love seeing people from different backgrounds/cultures experience good, new music! Props to you for recognizing the musicianship! It's the same way I feel when I personally come across something totally new and can appreciate the talent and musicianship that went into it! Subbed for sure!
Bruh awesome reaction. Little back story on Ben. He was an alcoholic for a long time. So was I. I'm 32 but I started early. 2 years sober now. It's a rough road to travel and overcome.
This was one of my faves. Let my 13 year old hear it and he’s been hooked to nostalgic rock. Im so excited to show him new songs. Well, new to him. We’ll sit in car after a long drive and STILL be listening to music.
This generation of rock music phased out fairly quickly with me but BB is just one of those bands that hits, every time. From their start to now; completely killed it. I still go back and crank them. Chevelle was also another one you should checkout. Not many groups in this genre from that decade stood out like this band. Some but not many at all.
"Give Me a Sign" "When Angels Fall" "Torn in Two" "Breath" "I Will Not Bow" "Polyamorous" "Far Away" are my recommendations, though to be honest you can't go wrong with anything by BB. They've been pretty much the only band I've consistently listened to for the last 18 years. Almost every song on every album is a killer. Love seeing people react to my favorites, and your reactions are always gold!! ❤️
Bro this is my absolute favorite song by them tied with breath they are both such good songs and the way Ben gives off the emotion with the instrumental behind it is just so damn good
“Your so cold but you feel so alive” gives me goosebumps. I feel like telling someone their so cold, usually is I’m reference to their attitude, so it kinda feels like a rug pull when u realize he contrast that with being actually cold, like a dead body.
Been listening to BB since their first album Saturate back in 2000-01. All their music is great. Check out the Aurora album. They reimangined many of their best songs with guest singers such as Lacey Sturm (Flyleaf), Adam Gontier (3 Days Grace) and Scooter Ward (COLD). They also did a cover of Goo Goo Doll's song Iris (City of Angels movie soundtrack) with Diamante. Some of their songs you should definitely check out are I Will Not Bow, Feed The Wolf, Red Cold River/Torn In Two/Tourniquet (the music videos are a continuing story trilogy), Hollow, Dance With The Devil, Dark of You...
I feel like I heard this song from WWE while creating my character on the Game Cube. So nostalgic. It was either this song or another one but they both sound familiar
Back in the day this was how the used to test to see if you was a witch or not they would chain a giant stone to you and throw you in the river if you some how escaped and lived you where a witch and they would burn you to death if you died then you where concerned to have not been a witch and they would restore you family honor and that’s all they had back then was family honor and that’s what the song is about
I first seen these guys back in '04. Been my favorites ever since. Seen em 5 times now, they never disappoint. In my opinion phobia and dear agony are their best albums, although ember is a close 3rd I think

"I will not bow!" Is my favorite Breaking Benjamin song, but just jump into the rabbit hole, because they don't miss.
Yeah that’s in my top 3. I don’t listen to many of these bands anymore but BB I always go back too. The first song I heard that got me hooked about 20 years ago was “Water”, absolute banger!

Great song...my favorite is 'The Dark Of You' 👏👏👏

Breaking Benjamin is my all time favorite band!!! Mine would have to be "Follow" then "Shallow Bay" but any BB song is fire dude.
"wise men wonder while strong men die"
Was listening to these guys when they only had an underground following. They're my all time favorite band! Great reaction!!
This whole CD is Awesome! I absolutely love Breaking Benjamin! The rock so hard..
Been listening to this band for almost 20 years and their sound is nice! Great Reaction!
Same

I second this!

Subbed for sure!
Every songs by them is amazing!!! Diary of Jane, Breath, I will not Bow, really anything and all!!!!
Their best song… I really miss those days.
This video is inspired by the book The Lottery
This is unfortunately a classic! So cold and I’m so old! Great reaction!
Breaking Benjamin - Breath
The way you was getting into it reminds me of the first time I saw them live, seeing people get a joy out of music is so refreshing.
Bruh awesome reaction. Little back story on Ben. He was an alcoholic for a long time. So was I. I'm 32 but I started early. 2 years sober now. It's a rough road to travel and overcome.
Bad ass Rock Band. All their songs are bangers. Great reaction Greg.
They sound just as amazing live. I’ve seen them 2x and Bens voice never lets you down
This was one of my faves. Let my 13 year old hear it and he’s been hooked to nostalgic rock. Im so excited to show him new songs. Well, new to him. We’ll sit in car after a long drive and STILL be listening to music.

Also, their first album Saturate is a complete banger. Every song is great. Give it a listen.
I saw em last in '19 just before COVID took hold. The best of the 5 times I've seen them
Breaking Benjamin is absolutely fantastic
Love ur channel bro
Diary of Jane
So many good ones from them! Lots already mentioned.
"Give Me a Sign" "When Angels Fall" "Torn in Two" "Breath" "I Will Not Bow" "Polyamorous" "Far Away" are my recommendations, though to be honest you can't go wrong with anything by BB. They've been pretty much the only band I've consistently listened to for the last 18 years. Almost every song on every album is a killer.

Feed the wolf is a must to show his true vocal talent. Nice vid. Subbed
Yes please react to feed the wolf by breaking Benjamin
Banger!
This song always kills it. First song from BB that I ever heard. After that, hooked.
Top 5 on my list. Simply love this band.
“Your so cold but you feel so alive” gives me goosebumps. I feel like telling someone their so cold, usually is I’m reference to their attitude, so it kinda feels like a rug pull when u realize he contrast that with being actually cold, like a dead body.
Man you chose like my favorite one to start with. Solid choice
I love his face when the intro drops lol still my reaction every time I hear it. So badass
"I WILL NOT BOW", "DIARY OF JANE" and "PHASE" --- all 3 are great songs.
The Red Cold River trilogy!! It's awesone!!
One of my favorite bands. I'll be seeing them again in September. Along with Alice in Chains and Bush.
1 of there sickest songs

All their stuff is good
I feel like I heard this song from WWE while creating my character on the Game Cube. So nostalgic. It was either this song or another one but they both sound familiar
The songs about suicide and pulling yourself out of suicidal thoughts and tendencies it's actually really deep.
Back in the day this was how the used to test to see if you was a witch or not they would chain a giant stone to you and throw you in the river if you some how escaped and lived you where a witch and they would burn you to death if you died then you where concerned to have not been a witch and they would restore you family honor and that’s all they had back then was family honor and that’s what the song is about
Diary of Jane up next!! Great reaction bruh!!
I first seen these guys back in '04. Been my favorites ever since. Seen em 5 times now, they never disappoint. In my opinion phobia and dear agony are their best albums, although ember is a close 3rd I think

Pls do more "breaking Benjamin" and "love &death"

My top band! If you liked this one , try reacting to Home. 🤘🏻🤘🏻❤️
React to evil angel, what lies beneath, torn in two. As a matter of fact, react to all of breaking Benjamin’s songs!!!
Thank you for reacting to my favorite group, please check out their song Topless and Zombified by Falling in Reverse.
You need to check out Breath from their Phobia CD
React to Far Away by Breaking Benjamin featuring Scooter Ward.
I bet you'd LOVE Metallica! You should react to " Welcome Home Sanitarium " by them live in Seattle 1989!! It's soooo badass!!!
Anything on the Phobia CD.
