and I'm here again, speading the word about a favorite band of mine called breaking benjamin.

http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/breakingbenjamin/

Ooh good band. I like them a lot. Also they are from around my area and that's always cool (unless they really suck, which this band doesn't). Everyone should check them out.

I learned some of their stuff playing with the radio. Good band.

yes i agree with ya'll dudes...everyone should check them out. my favorite song is natural life.

I liked one of their songs. It was called Poly. . . something.

polyamorous...a kick ass song indeed.

they arent very good in my opinion... just your everyday mainstream band... nothing original to offer to me...

Have you checked out their new song/video for Hellboy. the song is 'So Cold' I think it kicks ass.

http://breakingbenjamin.com/hellboy

I bought the CD awhile back and its pretty good. :D

I've never accually heard their music, but I know that they are playing here with in the month. I might just have to go.

They weren't as bad as I thought they'd be when they opened (for Cold, who opened for Deftones) at the show I went to.

I got their cd a few years ago when Polyamourous first came out. The album was rather disappointing, or maybe it just wasn't as good as I expected it to be.

I always thought the lead singer looks like a younger Teemu Selanne [[ hockey player ]]

Yep, They are from Wilkes-Barre which is about 35 miles away from me. They are a good band

I like em. I burned their CD from a friend under his reccommendation. (<--sp?)

Wanna know whats awesome? My friends boyfriend is IN Breaking Benjamin! Yay I almost know someone famous! I'll need to listen to their music now so I can go to the shows with her :)

Edit: He's not one of the front guys...um..and im pretty SURE she said Breaking Benjamin, i'll check and if I'm wrong I'll delete this post :)

i can't wait till june when their new cd comes out.

I really like this band. I've only heard the two songs they have on the radio, i've never heard any of their older songs. I never knew they had any older songs until I heard about the upcoming tour. WOOHOO!!!
Did anybody watch the video for the song "So Cold"? That was one friggin cool video.

My roommate had a cd of theirs for awhile now, and got me listening to them a little. I think they are pretty good. I look forward to seeing them with Ev in july.

i would love to see them in concert with ev but i'm not sure where i'll be this summer....cali, kentucky, west virginia, kentucky again....hehehe. :p

Their new songs are pretty good and cant wait to hear more of them. :D When does the new album come out?

I'm gonna have to check them out soon....what song should I listen to first guys?

They have their new site launched. You can check out some clips from other songs now.

I first found out about BB when I heard they were going to be touring with Evanescence. I then went to their website to check them out and listened to So Close and Follow and loved them. So, I pre-ordered their new album which comes out on June 29th and I just bought their old album, Saturate, a few days ago...I absolutely love it. As Roxanne said, the site has streaming clips up for both albums, so I definitely recommend checking them out. The short clips don't really do the songs justice, but eh it's something. I can't wait to see them open for Ev :)

Just a reminder that their new cd comes out this Tuesday. That's right: June 29th.

the new album rocks! I'm addicted to "simple desgin".

I bought their first cd when it first came out and thought it was pretty cool. I saw their video for "Polyamorous" and was like wow they're pretty good, which drove me to buy their first album :p . My two favorite songs on there are "Polyamorous" and "Medicate". I was on their site a few days ago and listened to clips of their new albuk and liked what I heard ;) . "So Cold" is an awesome song. I can't wait to see them perform! :D

I like them a bunch :p my mom went to buy me a new Ev cd cuz there was more scratches on it than songsand Wal mart was out of Ev cds atm so she picked up Breaking Benjamins cd and wow its awesome :D

Breaking Benjamin = AWESOME

that is all

The new album is quite good.

The new album is really good. Im really looking forward to seeing them now that I have heard their album. If you don't have it you should get it. Most stores have it for less than $10 so you have little to lose if you don't like it.

I met them April 19th of last year....i thought they were "so cool" and stuff...they were doing an interview for the radio station and so my friends and i went up to get their autograph...they didn't say anything to me, they rolled their eyes, scribbled down their names, and rudly handed me the peice of paper. How nice.

Billy Corgan, Evanescence Help Breaking Benjamin Break Big

by Jon Wiederhorn

In the video for Breaking Benjamin's single "So Cold," a convict is sentenced to have his arms chained to a slab of stone that he must carry through the woods and into a deep river. But he's not the only one who suffered.

"There were ticks and leeches all over the place," frontman Ben Burnley said of the daylong shoot directed by Smith n' Borin in April. "Fortunately, I was standing on the land, but [guitarist] Aaron [Fink] and [bassist] Markus [James] were in the bog, and I really thought they'd come out with leeches all over their legs because that water was disgusting."

OK, so the sacrifice wasn't exactly huge, but it illustrates the extent to which Breaking Benjamin are willing to go for their career. Two weeks before their sophomore disc, We Are Not Alone, came out, they began a tour to generate prerelease buzz, which may have helped them to debut at #20 on the Billboard albums chart.

"Playing live is so important," said Burnley, whose band hit the road with Evanescence on Tuesday. "It doesn't matter how good your record is, people, they want to see a band live, and if you win them over in concert, they'll love you even more and tell even more people about you."

When Breaking Benjamin break into "So Cold" at shows, fans sing along and cheer so loudly you can hardly hear the band. Even more thrilling for Burnley is that two months after its release, he can still play the tune every night without growing weary of it. "It's a really strong song, and I think that comes from everybody in the band writing it together," he said. "A lot of times I'll write the whole thing, but that one was split pretty evenly."

As much of a unifying force as "So Cold" has been for the band's fans, to Burnley the song is bleak and apocalyptic. "I always picture it as an end-of-the-world kind of thing," he said. "It's not about that, but I picture that because there's a line that goes, 'If you find your family/ Don't you cry,' and it makes me think it's because they're dead when you find them — like in the movie '28 Days Later.' I love that movie."

While "So Cold" was created completely by Breaking Benjamin, three songs on We Are Not Alone were co-written by ex-Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan: "Rain," "Follow" and "Forget It." The band hooked up with Corgan after finding out he had been working with other bands including Blindside and Taproot. The collaboration took place over six days in December and was one of the highlights of Burnley's career, he said.

"At first, I was so nervous," he admitted. "When I met him I was like, 'Oh sh--, that's Billy Corgan.' But after a while I got more comfortable, and then he just became Billy. I'd come in every day, we'd order soup, eat and then we'd get to work. It was great."

Despite such opportunities, not to mention their recent chart success, Burnley and his bandmates are still as humble as they were before they got signed. They see every act of good fortune as a gift, and they remain thankful to their fans for everything.

"We've actually seen a few fans with Breaking Benjamin tattoos, and that just blows us away," Burnley said. "That sh--'s permanent, which is such a compliment. I mean, I have no expectations for anything, and I know we're still nobodies. We're still a baby band, and we have a lot of work to do."

thanks for the article cfw.

thanks for that article, I really like Breaking Benjamin, ever since I heard Polyamerous, I've loved their music... can't wait to see em live

Breaking Benjamin was great live. Sure, they didn't get much in the way of fanfare or a big ass set, but that's ok.

Water, in my opinion, was the best song they performed in the set apart from So Cold.

It reminded me of Disturbed a bit. I love that song though. I was banging my head all crazy like haha.

Water, in my opinion, was the best song they performed in the set apart from So Cold.



Which song was Water?

It goes dundundundun dundundundun dundundun. LOL.

http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/breakingbenjamin/

There's a 30 second clip on the site. Go to media and click on Water. It's from their first one.

I got to meet the lead singer, Benjamin, and he is SUCH a funny and cool dude. I got to actually chill and talk with him for a bit. And my friends and I got to give him a Canadian Flag, and he was so touched that he got to keep it. lol, very cool, I hope them all the success.

Water, in my opinion, was the best song they performed in the set apart from So Cold.
hell yeah that song rocks.
I met Ben at the Jones Beach show and he's a giant! :eek:

i loved BB ever since i heard so cold.

Any songs by BB are awesome! I was introduced by a friend and I instantly fell in love with them. Can't wait to get the newest cd. :D

Christina

Well I never really liked them before, but after seeing them in Toronto at the Ev concert, they were pretty good live.

Yea breaking benjamin is a good band, or what i have heard of them anyway. I haven't heard but one song. but i would definetly keep listening to them :D

I saw Breaking Benjamin in Orlando last night. They were pretty good. The lead singer has a great voice. I love the song "So Cold". I'm probably going to buy their newest CD.

Their first single, "Polyamorous" came out in 2002 and I loved it. It made me by their cd "Saturate". It's a pretty good cd :) . "So Cold" is an amazing song and they are AWESOME live ;)

They'll be performing at Locobazooka in Massachusetts along with these other bands on Sept. 25th and 26th...

Helmet, Saliva, Kittie, Monster Magnet, Clutch, Shinedown, Silvertide, Nonpoint, Dropbox, Earshot, Tantric, UPO, Crossfade, Tesla and Josh Todd

Earlier cd..not so good...I have only heard the one release so far off the new one and I will say they have grown up...

Hey everyone! I love Breaking Benjamin. Just though you guys might wanna know that they're playing at the Susquehanna Valley Rock Fest on August 28th. More info about that can be found here: http://www.valleyrockfest.com/

I fell in love with Breaking Benjamin when I saw them open for Shinedown and Soil back in June. Awesome band, they did a wonderful job opening for Evanescence in OKC. My favorite song is probably "Firefly", but I love "Wish I May", "Home", and "Polyamorous" also.

From Billboard.com

Rock act Breaking Benjamin is providing 11 tracks from its first two albums to Buena Vista Games' "TRON 2.0: Killer App" videogame. "TRON 2.0" is due this fall exclusively for Xbox Live.

Rob Souriall, VP of marketing at Hollywood, explains that "the in-game play features only instrumental tracks to stay true to the 'TRON' franchise." But cross-promotional marketing efforts will feature tracks, including lyrics.

Hollywood Records is planning a pre-sell and/or gift-with-purchase program for a bonus CD-ROM that contains all 11 music tracks and several videos from Breaking Benjamin. Featured are the band's first radio hit, "Polyamorous," and two other tracks from its 2002 debut album, "Saturate." The other eight tracks, including the single "So Cold," are from new album "We Are Not Alone," which debuted last month at No. 20 on The Billboard 200.

From krockradio.com

Breaking Benjamin fans will want to pick up “Amp’d: A Father’s Backstage Pass.” The book tells the story of the first four years of the group, as told and witnessed by Gary Fincke, the father of Breaking Benjamin guitarist Aaron Fincke. The book is shipping now, so place your orders.

:)

Yay! *dances* I'm glad to know BB are doing so great! And a book, I can't wait :) ! *bounces around hyperly* Whee!!

I'm such a little fangirl right now :rolleyes:

I really enjoy the production of the new single, "So Cold" is it? The drums and guitars sound slammin'!

I have to say that they rocked at the Ev concert in Minneapolis. My brother had Saturate, so I listened to it a few times and bought We Are Not Alone before the concert. I'd definitely go see them again. I think I like Saturate better so far, actually.

The one thing I didn't like at the concert was that Ben yelled, while getting everyone pumped up for the other bands, "And, of course, GODDAMN EVANESCENCE!" STFU. God loves Ev, because I love Ev. heehee

I just saw them on Sunday... and to my suprise they were pretty decent imho anyways. There were alot harder then what i thought

I freaking love BB, they were awesome in Toronto.

Breaking Benjamin is a really talented band! My favorite songs are "Home" and "Water". They were awesome when I seen them in Atlanta, I really want to see them again. They are really, really cool. :D

Okay, so I went and saw BB last night and they were awesome as usual. Here are some of the pictures we took last night.

Oooh, melikes :p . Nice pics!

I just bought their cd. Haven't opened it yet. I'm pretty excited.

very nice. like em. I think they toured with ev during the summer. But then i cant be positive cus i wasnt aloud to go....authorities....crap....pffffttt

Yes they did tour with ev, for a few months. I would have gone to the Philadelphia date, but my friend who was planning it let it fall through. :(

I went to the Philly show. Sucks that your friend fell through...maybe next time, eh?

BB was really good when I saw them..excellent in fact. And they were also really good on Conan O'Brien and Carson Daly(don't know his show's real name) last week.

BB rock solid for sure, one of my fave bands... mind you, on a long list of fave bands, but nonetheless, their on there.

Anywho, heres a piece of good news that may or may not have been posted already. BB has made it on two recent video game soundtracks. Firefly is on WWE Day of Reckoning which is a brand new wrestling game, and also theres another game called Tron2 that came out that has two of their songs on it.

This is good news for them, i guess, hopefully the exposure does them good.

\m/

this thread inspired me to listen to some of their stuff, and i am VERY impressed..now im out looking for their cds...i liked VERY VERY much :):)

I met the lead singer, Ben, at the Toronto show. He was really cool and we got his autograph and a pic with him. He was also drunk, which was awesome.

me, ben, angela

I saw them in charoltte and they rocked I loved that song so cold I purchased the album and play it in my car. cool band

This story is from AllAccess.com

BREAKING BENJAMIN - The Pennsylvania-based quartet is in the Top Five and climbing on the Alternative chart with "So Cold."
Singer/guitarist Ben Burnley, the band's namesake, gave USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com) writer Edna Gundersen some insight on why their sophomore CD, "We Are Not Alone," and current hit are garnering so much success.

"Right now, a lot of bands sound a lot alike," says Burnley, 26, "We're kind of in that category. I hear from a lot of fans who say we have a unique sound, and I'm like, 'Really?' It's hard to do something totally different, because everything you do in rock now is going to sound like something that came earlier. The key is to use those influences well."

Burnley says he's come a long way since his days of playing acoustic sets at open-mike nights for $50 and working his day job at Pizza Hut. But he told USA Today that he's careful not to take himself or the success of the band too seriously.

"This is a job, and as long as I'm not living in a cardboard box, I don't mind not being the biggest band in the world," Ben explains. "We'll keep making music. We'll keep touring until we stop selling records and the label says, 'Go home.' I'd like a little nest egg, but I don't have to be a rock star. If I could make a couple million bucks, I'd be happy to give music away on the Internet."'

Ben says the real trick to surviving a rock and roll career is to know when to call it quits and how to keep your sense of humor. "They should get rich and get out," Burnley says. "Look at Scott Stapp [former Creed singer]. He just won't go away. Same with Fred Durst [Limp Bizkit]. OK, man, you made your millions. Nobody wants you around anymore, so move over and make room."

Breaking Benjamin is on the road playing shows in Lancaster, PA 9/17, Pittsburgh, PA 9/18, Dayton, OH 9/19, Lexington, KY 9/21, Hungtington, WV 9/22, Huntsville, AL 9/24, Myrtle Beach, SC 9/25, Greenville, NC 9/26, Atlanta, GA 9/28, Tampa, FL 9/29, Jackson, MS 10/1, Mobile, AL 10/2, Little Rock, AR 10/3, Salt Lake City, UT 10/5, Portland, OR 10/7, Seattle, WA 10/8, Sparks, NV 10/11, Sacramento, CA 10/12, San Francisco, CA 10/13, Las Vegas, NV 10/15, Los Angeles, CA 10/16, San Diego, CA 10/17, Phoenix, AZ 10/19, Tucson, AZ 10/20, Dallas, TX 10/24, Selma, TX 10/28, and The Woodlands, TX 10/29.

Breaking From Benjamin

Breaking Benjamin is moving forward without drummer Jeremy Hummel. The former skinbeater announced his departure via fansite www.shallowbay.com. Jeremy, who just became a father to son Julian Raymond Hummel September 2nd, said in his posting that he was informed his services were no longer needed. “I cannot tell you exactly why this has happened,” said the drummer. “There was no definitive reason. What I can tell you and assure you is that I have done nothing to warrant this decision. My actions nor my words have determined this fate.” Hummel said he was “extremely proud of the band’s current success” and that he felt the group made “some fantastic music” during his tenure with Breaking Benjamin.

yea he wasnt at the concert when they came through here.. but i didnt really think this would happen. The guy that was filling in for him did one hell of a job!

yea he wasnt at the concert when they came through here.. but i didnt really think this would happen. The guy that was filling in for him did one hell of a job!
The guy that was filling in was Ex Seether drummer Kevin Soffera. He was really nice and actually talked to my and my sister and dad quite a bit. I'm sorry to hear about Hummel's departure, but Soffera kicks ass.

I like So Cold, and I also checked out the rest of the songs on the site and they sound good too.

I'll be seeing Breaking Benjamin in San Diego on October 17th. I can't wait! They were awesome in Little Rock opening for Ev.

the replacement is gonna be DC from (hed)PE though.

They are awesome!! and such nice guys! I saw them a couple of times...both opening for ev of course;) I'm looking forward to getting their cd as well :p


and I just had to post this..me and two other evboarders with Ben after the july 18th concert in toronto :D

http://www.evboard.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6931&stc=1

I bought their cd today. It's totally awesome :cool:

I am embarrassed to admit that I actually didn't know who BB were until I went to see the Evanescence concert in Kansas. I had heard "So Cold" and "Polyamorous" but really didn't know anything about them. At the concert, they were UNBELIEVABLE live. I went and bought their cd's right away. My very favorite song by them is "Water". It is just awesome. That is all.

~Carrie~

I got the BB cd too...It Kicks A Double S! i love it..So Cold isnt on it tho :( i have to wait for that cd, but all the other songs are awesome.Water is a really good song to

Breaking Benjamin has officially broken through.

There was an ad for an ABC Family original movie, and it showed a clip of them performing "Breakdown" live.

I laughed hysterically at ABC Family. That is all.

Yeah, I love them. By the way they're from Toronto :P yeah, now I love them even more. I am from Toronto.

I just saw that commercial like 10 minutes ago..while watching 7th Heaven. *Yes I'm a dork..haha* And I kinda think the movie doesn't look half bad. Plus with a promo featuring Breaking Benjamin...I might give it a chance...lol.

7th Heaven pwns. The thing I'm concerned about is the fact that Breaking Benjamin is advertising an ABC family movie...when the last original movie I remember was the one produced by Britney Spears. And it was pretty awful.

But hey, how wrong can you go with Breaking Benjamin in a horror flick?

and I just had to post this..me and two other evboarders with Ben after the july 18th concert in toronto :D

Ahh I know which movie you mean. It was SO lame. Gah! The best was when the Britney songs would like give her the strength to persevere...I dunno why but that just made me laugh..

Ooooh, BB touring with Korn now for a while! I wanna go I wanna go! Unfortunately they haven't announced a tour date near me :( .

Also, I finally got in my BB posters and stickers, so I get to do street team work now :p . I just need to get a digital camera so I can get credit for all of it :rolleyes:

Yeah, I love them. By the way they're from Toronto :P yeah, now I love them even more. I am from Toronto.

They are from Pennsylvania.

They are from Pennsylvania.

:confused: Sorry, my bad. I have no clue how I got that idea...

You may have confused them with Three Days Grace? :confused:

I really like Breaking Benjamin. I got We Are Not Alone about 2 months ago...I think, maybe longer. I heard the song So Cold and I wanted the cd. I think my favorite songs would have to be So Cold, and Simple Design. I know they have another cd, haven't heard any songs from it yet, but I plan to in the near future.

the replacement is gonna be DC from (hed)PE though.
No, I realize that. I was just talking about meeting Soffera. Sorry if it seemed like I implied he'd be taking over.
EDIT:
More pics from Sept. 4 , 2004

wow Roxanne, niiice pictures :) thanks for posting them!

So for anyone that listens to BB a lot..which album, first or second, do you prefer? I am just curious...*yeah I am strange*

So for anyone that listens to BB a lot..which album, first or second, do you prefer? I am just curious...*yeah I am strange*
I think I prefer Saturate over We Are Not Alone...I had Saturate on constant rotation when I first got it. We Are Not Alone is a decent album too and I do like the tracks, but I favor Saturate as a whole, personally.

I'll be at their show on Friday at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Anyone else going to that one as well?

Oh and awesome pictures, ROXANNE. Thanks for posting em :)

I think I prefer Saturate over We Are Not Alone...I had Saturate on constant rotation when I first got it. We Are Not Alone is a decent album too and I do like the tracks, but I favor Saturate as a whole, personally.

I have to agree. At first I liked WANA better..but now I am all about Saturate being better. The songs are just..I dunnot there's something extra about them that the tracks on WANA don't have.

You know, both of the albums are really good, and have their high points, but I think I like Saturate better. Maybe because Polyamorous is my favorite song of theirs.

But I put WENA on tape, so I listen to it more (no CD player in my car) (well, minivan...go ahead and laugh.)

The songs are just..I dunnot there's something extra about them that the tracks on WANA don't have.
Exactly. I can't quite put my finger on it, but WANA, as a whole, is just kinda bleh compared to Saturate. So Cold and Away are really the only ones that stick out for me.

i love this band now! i've listened to heaps of their songs for ages, but i just got saturate yesterday, and i ROCKS! I'm really into bands like linkin park, and i dunno about you ppl but breaking benjamin sorta reminds me of linkin park without the rap. Meh, LPs still HEAPS better....oh, and ev too ofcourse

one question: which songs have they released as singles?

one question: which songs have they released as singles?
As far as I know, they only released Polyamorous from Saturate. So Cold is the only single from WANA thus far.

I think they released Polyamorous and Skin. I don't think they had a video for Skin, but it was indeed a single. If I find out, I'll post their next single here. So Cold can't be the single forever. It's been around since June.

I'm going to second you on this. I'm almost certain Skin was a single *I remember hearing it on the radio a LOT here and I still hear it..then again BB is somewhat of a local band..but still* but there wasn't a video. at least I didn't see one nor can I find one..so yeah. And as for the second single off WANA..I'm guessing it'll be "Follow"---but you never know.

And as for the second single off WANA..I'm guessing it'll be "Follow"---but you never know.
Follow was my guess as well since it was the only other song that was promoted on their website with So Cold before WANA was released. But, I've been hearing things about Breakdown...and now with them performing it on ABC Family, that might be a clue to it being the next single. *shrug*

But, I've been hearing things about Breakdown...and now with them performing it on ABC Family, that might be a clue to it being the next single. *shrug*

I was going to say that too. Honestly I think both songs are single material...so I guess we'll just have to wait to see *I love when I state the obvious, lol*

are they on myspace?

i only check out bands that are on myspace. please link me kthx.

*flips hair and leaves*

*shakes head*

you said my kids would look like bears on myspace...

thats all I think of now...its embedded in my brain

oh thats right...a link...I'll SO look...haha

edit- found a linky link link link. Yeah I already linked jas...but for the rest of you: Breaking Benjamin on myspace (http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=3821462&Mytoken=20041013223933)

You may have confused them with Three Days Grace? :confused:

THANK YOU!! Yeah, I must have. Three Days Grace are from Toronto :rolleyes: OOhhh, I'm slow.

Breaking Benjamin came to little rock a few weeks ago.. I went on their tour bus and they had the video from the little rock show- so i got to watch all the pranks and stuff again!! i missed a lot of the B.B pranks at the show, so i finally got to see what everyone was talking about! Then Ben, and Aaron, and Freddy and I watched a show I had never heard of called Ali G...freaking hilarious! Anyway, they are all very cool guys. I got some pics that i'll post later.

:confused: Sorry, my bad. I have no clue how I got that idea...

Don't worry about it. Just trying to help you out :)

I wasn't fortunate enough to see breaking benjamin in concert while they were touring with Ev, but I do like some of their stuff. I was under the impression that they were emo because of the name "breaking benjamin" - it sounds like "saving tuesday" and "bringing back september" and all those emo names with days of the week and months etc. I saw the music video for "so cold" and i was impressed - a rock band with a semi-complex video...they can't be half bad. So i checked them out and I'm happy to say that I would like to get their cd... good band

Breaking Benjamin came to little rock a few weeks ago.. I went on their tour bus and they had the video from the little rock show- so i got to watch all the pranks and stuff again!! i missed a lot of the B.B pranks at the show, so i finally got to see what everyone was talking about!
I'd so love to relive that. I was able to get a load of pictures, but that's nothing like watch a video of it all...good times, good times. I wonder if they'll include some of it on perhaps a future video project or if it's just for personal use and enjoyment for the band...probably the latter.

wow i just heard their other album 'saturate' and it is madness! looks like breaking benjamin's gonna be my next favourite band... after LP and ev of course!

wow that's awesome Brittany! you are so lucky! I would also love to relive the LR concert! *misses it sooo much*

Just got back a little while ago from their concert. They definitely know how to put on a rockin show. Much better than seeing them as an opening act, probably cause they were in their own element and not performing for many who may not have heard of them or care.

Ben really hearted the audience's enthusiasm and in the middle of the set, he put his guitar down and jumped into the little pit area where security and photographers are and proceeded to climb up on the barricades to touch and shake/slap people's hands...quite awesome of him to do. People were grabbing at him from all angles which was pretty humorous and kinda painful with being pushed against the barricade heh. I feel too weird to try and touch someone and don't get the whole "omg I touched so-and-so," but I just kinda slapped his hand when he came near since he extended the gesture first.

I managed to catch a setlist so here it is for those interested:
Home
I Wish I May
Away
Polyamorous
Water
Lithium (cover)
Breakdown
Medicate
Break My Fall
Firefly
Simple Design
So Cold
Encore: Shallow Bay

Also at one point in the set, don't remember exactly when, Ben played/sang a bit of Chevelle's Closure...don't know if he does that often or if he just felt like it then.

I bought "We Are Not Alone" and it seems pretty good.

I like them even though they are not my usual indie and extremely hardcore bands that I love. Their video for "So Cold" is amazing, so well done. Question: who is that girl who strays from the group in the video, a picks a red rose and smiles sadly at the sky? I recognize her and I can't place her, it's driving me fucking crazy! Is he on an HBO show? Sopranos maybe? Grrrr...ruff....

You can listen to their new song from Halo 2 called Blow Me Away on their website. It definitely has a videogame feel. Also, on November 23, they'll be releasing an EP with they above mentioned song, an accoustic of So Cold and some others. Check out their website for more.

Was anyone else in here on the City Assault team? The entire last week I couldn't find a ride into Joplin to hand out stickers :( :( :( . And I only got 7 posters put up :o .

I feel like a bad street teamer...

I was going to join, but haven't, yet. I post on the Shallow Bay board though. Just joined that.

WHY WHY WHY November 23? There's too much stuff coming out then...I haev no money...I'm sad. :( I'll have to get it later.

Yeah, I looked at the lyrics for "Blow Me Away". Pretty describing of what goes on in Halo. That EP has some live songs, and "Lady Bug", which was originally on the Japan edition of We Are Not Alone. "Ordinary Man", which was also on the Japan CD, won't be on the EP, according to the Shallow Bay board. So I heard.

Is anyone thinking about going to see BB on tour? I saw them with ev in July. I think I might go see them in Hartford in December. Anyone else planning on going to this show ?

Ahh! This group rock!
July 20th, to my show of Evanescence, i saw Breaking Benjamin...and i loved so much!!!!!!!!

Oh my GOD, I <3 their song So Cold. Mmm wow.

Their next single is Sooner or Later. It goes for adds in the first quarter of '05.

And you know this? How? I always thought it was gonna be "Follow" or "Breakdown". Perhaps even "Blow Me Away" (because of the whole Halo 2 thing). But 2005? Oh well, better it comes out next year than not at all...I can wait...

has anyone else bought the Halo2 Soundtrack? Are the other songs worth it or should I just keep my downloaded BB Song ?

Bad move. Never doubt cfw's knowledge of the radio. But I agree, Sooner or Later would not have been my guess for their next single.

It has to be "Follow" "breakdown" or my favorite "Away". Sooner or Later is so-so.

And you know this? How?

The second link may have intimated that it would have been used.

I would have also picked Follow.

Breaking Benjamin is a terrific band! I wanna go see them again.

Heh, I remember the Ev concert I went to in July 2004, I took the binoculars from my dad and stared at the lead singer of BB the whole time they performed. Good times, good times.

Is anyone thinking about going to see BB on tour? I saw them with ev in July. I think I might go see them in Hartford in December. Anyone else planning on going to this show ?
I would see them if I were you. They're coming to Wisconsin with Korn, but I'd rather see them headline so I can see a longer set. I've seen BB open 3 or 4 times, so i'd rather have a longer set or a slightly different set.

I heard on Shallow Bay that the EP cover was going to be similar to WANA. Has anyone see anything about it?

I met Ben twice, one time me and a few other ev boarders spent about an hour or more with him arter a concert. He's awesome :)

seen them live--- wonderful band!
actually i saw them when they went on tour with evanescence, seether and 3 days grace- FANTASTIC CONCERT! ^^

They're coming to Wisconsin with Korn...
when?! *is excited* i live in MN, so maybe i could catch them...

anyway, i saw them live at the Columbus concert in July when they were touring with 3DG, Seether, and Ev. they were pretty kick-ass. not to compare them to another band or anything, but Ben's voice kind of reminds me of the lead singer from Cold. only on some songs, though.

fave songs:

-Medicate
-Firefly
-Skin
-Natural Life
-Breakdown

I just ordered my ticket to go see breaking benjamin in hartford on the 18th. Can't wait.

93X is the local rock station here. Korn and Chevelle will both be here for that, as well as Skindred and Instruction. Looks like an awesome show if I do say so myself.

I may show my face there as well...have to see how some stuff works out first :)

so I guess that means you arent going...cuz well you cant even manage to show your face in a pic..

*just got his BB ticket in the mail Friday*

:) :D

i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great band... love the SO COLD song ^_^

they're soo awesome!! i LOVE the cd! :D

I got my ticket in the mail the other day. I got the So Cold EP on Tuesday.

I bought their CD after hearing them open up for Evanescence and I like a few songs on the album, specially "So Cold". <3

I just bought "Saturate" yesturday! My favorite song from it is "sugarcoat" and "Water".

Before the Evanescence concert in July, I was looking them up, because I've never heard of them. I was familiar with "So Cold" and it was a song that I really liked. I hate myself now because I tend to judge bands before I even listen to them, so I was like, "You mean Evanescence is playing with THIS crappy band?!" :( I feel horrible now, since BB is one of my favorite bands...

I <3 the song 'cold', especially in acoustic version, it's brilliant.

I think hey are a good band. I have their cd and i do like most the songs on it.

I love Breaking Benjamin! My favorite song is "Home" cause I am a huge fan of the Wizard of Oz. I think that song is so cool!

Breaking Benjamin is cool. I didnt really like them when i went to the concert but I did afterwards hahaaha. 'Cold' is awsome.. is that the right name?

I love Breaking Benjamin! They are too awesome live! It's a pity that their website doesn't sell merchandise. My favorite songs by them are So Cold, Firefly, Home, Break My Fall, Shallow Bay, Breakdown, Polyamorous, and Next to Nothing.

Don't confuse "Cold" with "So Cold".

"Cold" is Crossfade
"What I really meant to say, is I'm sorry for the way I am.
I never meant to be so cold. Never meant to be so cold."

"So Cold" is Breaking Benjamin
"Crowded streets all cleared away one by one. Hollow heroes separate as they run.
You're so cold keep your hand in mine. Wise men wonder while strong men die..."

Breaking Benjamin is an awesome band. I got to listen to the second cd when my best friend borrowed it off her dad and it was excellent.

Just in case peeps were interested in knowing what other bands will be there besides Breaking Benjamin & Flyleaf:

Breaking Benjamin @ Starland
With special guests Flyleaf, Halogen and There4
Doors 6pm * All-ages to enter, 21 to drink

you guys are so lucky, i cant even find their album here in Aus..:(Look for it online. If you can, anyway.

Alright so we just got back from the breaking benjamin show and didnt even get to see them. The place wasnt that small but lets just say it was packed out. We did however get to do something 20 times better. We are gonna post that soon. Have fun tomorrow night everyone.

We just got back from the show too, but we *did* get to see BB. The 2 opening bands we didn't like all that much (Halogen & There 4) but Flyleaf was pretty good and BB kicked ass as usual. If anyone is interested in the set list, I'll probably be able to post it tomorrow. Ben mentioned that this was the final show of this tour...I hadn't been aware of that.

Yeah, they're gonna take off for a few months and hit the road again in March with Papa Roach (is the rumor). :)

Sayreville was supposed to be their last show, but the e-team page says they'll be playing in Scranton, PA on the 21st and 23rd...maybe as a wind down in their home state? *shrug*

Yeah. I was taking to Lacey Mosley's (Flyleaf) stylist today and she told me that. BB wants to finish in PA and Flyleaf will play with them.

It was a great show. I didn't really get into Halogen that much, but the other three were pretty good.

Breaking Benjamin was great. First non-Ev show I've ever been to and they did not disappoint.

So they are going to start their new tour March 1st supposedly in Washington D.D. They are headlining with openers such as The Exies and Theory of A Deadman. This should be at least through March and April.

all i know is that i can't stop listening to Polyamorous right now. the end :p.

I never knew there was a Breaking Benjamin thread... :p

I love this band, they are so great. Especially live!

...Now I find this... :p Funny.

all i know is that i can't stop listening to Polyamorous right now. the end :p.

Good man.

I oughta check their site and see if there's a show I can go to. I doubt it...but might as well try.

They don't have any other tour dates as of yet. But be sure, i'll let ya guys know when there are some more. I'm really hoping to see them headline in Wisconsin because I've only seen them open.

Hey, if there is one in Wisconsin, I might be able to go. If it's like Green Bay.

Minneapolis would do too, because my brother lives there now. Oooh...I wanna go to a concert where Evanescence isn't headlining, just for a change.

I see them doing either Madison or Milwaukee if they come to Wisconsin. That's what they did last time they were here.
EDIT:
Now that i'm thinking about it, they need to remake the Ohio date, so I'd say that a Wisconsin or Minnesota date would be very likely.

ooh, double posting I know, but I thought this was important. The Allentown, PA concert is now on March 5th instead of the 1st.

Ohio

I'm so, so, so anticipating Breaking Benjamin's next upcoming tour stop in Ohio. Whenever that happens, that is. I just can't wait.

Three dates thus far:
Tue 3/1/05 State College, PA - Crowbar
Sat 3/5/05 Allentown, PA - Croc Rock
Sun 3/6/05 Clifton Park, NY - Northern Lights

The makeup date has been given according to Shallow Bay.
03/19/05 Columbus, OH Newport (Make-Up Date)

Fear not, I think where there's an ohio date, there's a WI date around the corner. cross your fingers

they really need to come back here!! they're awesome!! :D

A little update from the e-team:

No tour date confirmation yet, but The Exies and Theory of a Deadman are on the bill and a video for Sooner or Later is scheduled to be released in February :)

Thanks Melissa, I can't wait for that Video Release!

Bringing this thread back up. I'll be seeing them in August with 3 Doors Down. Hey Chris, do you think you could repost that link for the new single Rain?

I wan't to go see them!!!!!!!!:mad:

I havn't really heard this band but I'd like to, is there any site that gives you a free legal download of one of their songs e.g. official site, record label site ect.?

They're a great band. I highly recommend checking them out. The official site (http://hollywoodrecords.go.com/breakingbenjamin/) has song clips, not entire songs. But hey, it's better than nothing.

I have their album "Saturate", but I need to get the recent one.

I could have seen them live last month, because they came to Atlanta. My mom wouldn't let me go because the place they were playing at is rumored to be haunted. :rolleyes:

I was checking out some BB stuff, and came across this on shallowbay.com. I posted this in the Seether thread, but figured I'd post it here too.

BB and Seether Tour
BB will be on tour co-headlining with Seether in November

WOw that would be a great concert! But I suppose its only for the US or something :/

No effin way!!!! That would kick so much ass!

That's what I said too.

It would be like last years tour with Evanescence, 3DG, BB & Seether..only without Ev & 3DD...lol!

WOw that would be a great concert! But I suppose its only for the US or something :/
Yeah Ben has a fear of flying!

I am so glad you posted something about these guys Tracie. For the longest time, the site had been down. And then I didn't realize it until you posted, but the website changed from a .net to a .com

Just saw these guys in concert and they were awesome! I also got to meet them and that was kick ass!

I'm excited- I'm going to see Breaking Benjamin Wednesday night at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines. It's a nice small venue, so I should be able to get nice and close. I saw them once before in Minneapolis last year and thought they were great, so this show should be good as well. I think I may have backstage passes too, so that helps!!
Katie

I get to see my PA boys tonight! I'm so excited, I just wish they'd be able to play a fuller set than like 6 or so songs. I takes what I gets.:D

Breaking Benjamin is worth every bone that gets broken, and every part of your body that gets burned. I know, trust me.

I think it's time to jump into the concert world kiddo, you'll miss out on alot of good shows if you're too afraid to get hurt. suck it up.

edit: who heard who wants to live forever? It's effing orgasmic.

My mom wouldn't let me go. I dragged the topic out as far is it would go. And, didn't leave it intill i had a deal that I got one concert that she could not pass judgment on, she would have to say yes. (which along with many deals has come to haunt her :p )

I really only care if my knee get's anymore hurt then it is... If I break an arm, i will loose about 2 or more months of swim training (which is about what i've lost in the past two weeks, from the break) and, that's really my only fear. If my knee get's more hurt, it's serious damage. A lot of the time I can't walk as it is. So, you could imagine.

If i cared about getting hurt, I would of quit swimming long ago. ;)

Hopefully they'll come somewhere close to here again... They where opening so, i guess it wasn't that much of a loss.

Breaking Benny is worth all that, you are right. And you can't forget, its worth getting kinda mauled by Ashlee Simpson...;) I actually am really excited to see BB again...and Xtina, you're coming with us. I don't care what you say.

And damnit, I haven't heard that yet. *must buy Queen tribute CD right now*

or i could just give you a copy when my cmoputer turns on again.
when is this show? huhwha? time, details, i need details! But you'll have to catch me on AIM, or call my cell bc my computer kind of um yeah it's completely dead and there's no hope.

You have approximately 2 hours and 23 minutes to vote for Breaking Ben in the EvBoard 64 to break a 3-way tie. So get cracking!:)

*seconds* remember, Breaking Ben and Vanessa!!! :p hehe... *listens to We are not alone* ~marina

The concert was fantastic! I'm not sure I remember all of the songs, but i'll post what I remember tomorrow. I was surprised they played for about 40 minutes. Ben was looking really tired, though, and kept coughing every chance he got. See kids, this is why we don't smoke!

I agree, they really do kick ass in concert. I saw them twice and they were awesome both times. The crowd went absolutely WILD. Even more so here because they live here. But it is sooo worth it to see them. :)

Do they have any plans for a world tour or anything? *hopes*

Well they have gone platinum here with this album, so they should take their show on the road. Although I would imagine that they're not nearly as popular out there even though they have gotten play on occasion (as I'd listened to Planet Rock's Internet stream).

Okay, so concert review time. BB kicked ass as usal. I LOVE Chad with his longer bleached hair. It makes him look so much younger. Mark and Aaron were both rocking out as usual. Ben seemed like he was tired though. And he would cough right before he'd sing...EVERYTIME. I think he should give up smoking, but what are you gonna do. Setlist as follows:
So Cold
Polyamorous
Breakdown
Away
Break My Fall
Home
Sooner or Later
Simple Design

No encore, obviously, but what shocked me more was that they didn't play Rain. I thought that was a for sure performance song.

Although I would imagine that they're not nearly as popular out there even though they have gotten play on occasion (as I'd listened to Planet Rock's Internet stream).
You're right, I don't know anyone that likes them out here, except for people I've gotten addicted.

But then again Nightwish are completely unheard of here, and they still managed to come.

HR is doing a ticket presale for those who are in the South. I believe there was a lot of TX, OK, FL, AL and so on. So check it out if you want! \m/

Breaking Benjamin will be featured on Smallville's newest soundtrack, ''Metropolis Mix''.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000BBOVG2/gijoevid/104-5914631-9863915

Mmm yeah I heard about that. Cool.

Is there ever going to be a video for Rain or did it bomb too badly? I think it would've done better at radio if there was a video to support...it's kinda too late now though.

there isnt going to be a video for rain. i dont think it shouldve been a single, thats also a lot of others feelings.

Breaking Benjamin is the best band in the world..[[ to me ]]

of course i love ev but bb remains #1 in my heart.

My boyfriend started listening to Breaking Benjamin. He has both their cds and listens to them all the time in his car. I absolutely love their voice. I think its so much different than other bands. My favorite band is obviously Evanescence and my boyfriend likes to say that Breaking Benjamin is his Evanescence...just for comparison.

pfft. I think there should.

pfft. I think there should.

nah. a lot of people thought that rain attracted bangwagon fans. & it did. i think it's a good idea they didn't put out a video for rain but then again it couldve atracted a lot of attention.

i absolutly lovebreaking benjamin.

Any news on when the new cd's coming out or anything about a tour?

Any news on when the new cd's coming out or anything about a tour?

BB will be recording their album in January for a summer 2006 release. David Bendeth (We Are Not Alone producer) has signed on to produce the project. A converted Church in New Jersey will be home during the sessions, beginning January pre-production.

Also, So Cold has been nominated for a Radio Music Award which is being aired on 12/19.

Hmm, since Ben has mentioned that he's worked in the town where I live in NJ at one point, I wonder if any of the recently converted church around the block from my house might be the one they're talking about...hmmmm.

What they said ^.

there is also a DVD that will be coming out. no projected release date yet but it has been confirmed that the band, Freddie, and crew have been filming for it.

Aaron also said back in October? i think that the band was working on A LOT of new stuff and the band was getting along great. so we shall expect great things.

Breaking Benjamin has been nominated for 'Rock Artist of the Year' for the Billboard Awards which airs Tuesday, December 6th at 7 CST on Fox.

Great stuff to hear! I can't believe they actually got nominated for a Billboard! I didn't think they were that well known. I can't wait for a BB dvd, hopefully it'll be soon and great.

The Billboard awards go solely by amount of CDs sold, so they were automatically picked for it.

That being said, because of the way it works...Green Day will win it. :(

i'm afraid you're right marika. as much as i love my BB and i have very high hopes they will win.. deep down i know they won't solely on the fact that they are up against Green Day. sigh.. BB deserves it though. but look at the bright side.. enough BB cd's were sold to get them nominated..


annnnd sadly i must say that i have been informed that BB is not making a DVD.. :(

wow, i really like this band.... one of my best friends give me the album. we're not alone and i really like it!!!!

Oh god, another 6-6-6 date. Whole bunch of stuff is hitting radio/stores in that day.

They are actually almost done recording. The producer, DB, has said that Aaron is finishing guitar and Ben has some more vocals to do then it's off to mixing and they should be done. Definitely going to be an amazing cd!

Oh, really? I cannot wait to see Breaking Benjamin's new CD. I really should buy their CD; I absolutely love "So Cold" and "Follow", and I probably would love their other stuff.

So another CD to look forward to this year! Woohoo! :)

The new album, called Phobia, will hit stores on August 15th.

O rly?:D *YAY* Well, BB's dern wesite has not been udated in forever. I even went to MTV to see what was going on, but you know MTV.
Finishing touches are currently underway on BB’s highly anticipated 3rd release. David Bendeth, Producer “We Are Not Alone”, tells TSB they should complete and hand off for final mix by weeks end. The first single “The Diary of Jane” is scheduled for release on Tuesday June 6th.http://www.shallowbay.com/

*happiness forever*

Now all I need to do is buy their current CDs XDD

Actually, All Access had it up as August 15th...the date is now August 8th.

You should go to breakingbenjamin.com to check out their first video podcast...I wouldn't be surprised if the instrumental I heard in the background happens to be a part of their first single.

Turns out that it is...go listen to it on shallowbay.com now.

Sounds kickass!

Whoa! It's nice to hear some news on BB. I can not wait to hear their new stuff...and to see them live again. :)

I tuned in 20 mins ago to listen and they had this really long interview going so I thought they would never get to playing the song, but luckily--they are playing it right now! ;) All I can say is that I love it, the chorus is really amazing!!!!

You guys have to check it out!

Eeeeeeee awesomeness! Thanks Chris!

I really like it. I think Ben uses more of his "high" voice sort of (know what I mean?) but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I guess they really are gelling with Chad as the drummer, good for them. (I still love Jeremy).

Yeah the new song is awesome! I keep listening to it. :)

Anyone know when they're going to shoot the video?

BREAKING BENJAMIN

TO RELEASE NEW CD ‘PHOBIA’ AUGUST 8;

FIRST SINGLE ‘THE DIARY OF JANE’ ARRIVES AT RADIO JUNE 6;

BAND TO SHOOT VIDEO IN NEW YORK CITY AND HEAD OUT ON THE ROAD THIS SUMMER

Everyone has a phobia—and BREAKING BENJAMIN will share theirs August 8 when they release PHOBIA on Hollywood Records. It’s the much-anticipated follow-up to their explosive platinum 2004 album WE ARE NOT ALONE, which produced a pair of compelling #1 rock hits, “So Cold” and “Sooner Or Later.”

PHOBIA will be launched June 6 at radio with the single “The Diary Of Jane,” a song that impressively builds on BREAKING BENJAMIN’s mix of hard-charging rock, sharp hooks and soaring vocals. The band–BEN BURNLEY, vocals/guitar; AARON FINK, guitar; MARKUS JAMES, bass; CHAD SZELIGA, drums–will shoot the video May 25 in New York City and will head out on the road in late July on a major tour (details TBA).

For PHOBIA, BREAKING BENJAMIN rejoined forces with producer David Bendeth, who did the same honors for We Are Not Alone. “The goal was to make a solid, mature and cohesive record, not just a few singles and filler,” says bassist MARKUS JAMES. “We had some time to live with the songs and as a result the album is much more thought-out. I’ve never felt this strong about any album. This was our second time working with David so everything was a lot smoother this time around. We’ve all gotten a lot better at our craft and we knew we needed to take it to a higher level.”

The 1st of a series of video podcasts is available now at www.breakingbenjamin.com

I dunno if there's any other BB fans here, but I am a HUGE fan. I'm really excited for this CD. You can also listen to their new single on the sight as well, just scroll down on their main page and you'll find it. I remeber when BB was touring with Evanescence, didn't get to see any shows, but I hope they tour again soon.

So it appears that everyone should be keeping their eye out for tour dates popping up soon for BB. They'll be playing a festival in NY in July with Seether & Shinedown. Nothing is up on any of their sites, but I'm assuming that they'll be announcing more tour dates soon.

Yes, that's the Krockathon. BB and Crossfade are playing at the Webster Theater in Hartford, CT on July 25th as well. They might be touring with seether but i'm reeaally hoping for Evanescence! :D

Have you guys heard the new song?? It's awesome!

Rumor has it that BB and Crossfade are touring with each other over the summer.

I'm listening to The Diary of Jane for the first time now on Myspace...I LOVE IT!!!!! It's so different from their past stuff. I really like it...now I'm totally looking forward to the new album.

My boyfriend likes this band a lot...he went to their concert, and I had heard of them, but didn't hear much of their music. But now that I've heard it, I've started to listen to their songs a lot, and I really love them. The Diary of Jane is awesome...I can't wait to see what the other new songs will sound like!

Damn Edit:
Yes, kidies that hot video(DOJ) is up now...http://music.yahoo.com/premieres

June 16th on Yahoo Music, Breaking Benjamin will be premiering their latest music video for their first single, “The Diary of Jane” from Phobia, due to hit the shelves August 8th. Visit Yahoo Music for the video premiere.

YES!!!!;) Be sure to watch it okay. <3

Has anyone seen the video? It was supposed to premiere last week, but then they changed it to tommorrow, and I guess they put it up early... I like the concept of it; It's pretty awesome.

It's on the Launch music page, as posted above. :)

Rumor has it that BB and Crossfade are touring with each other over the summer.
Didn't Crossfade (more specifically, Ed Sloan) say they were gonna take a break from touring to work on a new album? So much for that.

Unless I'm just talking out my ass and they already finished it or something. >.>

Btw...FUCK YES!! They're coming to Starland Ballroom with Dropping Daylight. I always thought BB was cool but it isn't until recently that I realized how good WANA actually is. I can't wait to see them again.
