I know right. The rawness in the performance is clearly visible. Ben's toned down a lot these days with regards to his performance/stage presence compared to this. Cool to hear just his vocals without the layers/harmonies.
Nah their performance on fuse is way better. They actually perform the full song there. But this is still good. The video I'm talking about has 1.3mil views and is from 15 years ago.
@9TheManiac His name is Kevin Soffera, he was on tour with them from June-August 2004, and was then replaced by B.C. Vaught until Chad Szeliga was hired as the full-time drummer in early 2005.
Am I the only one who really admires Aaron as a player? He's definitely not Joe Satriani of Paul Gilbert, but he's one of the better modern guitarists I know.
Man, i love new, but it's not the same, this may sound the same to you, because you maybe are not musician. What is the same is Ben's vocal and rhythm part of guitar.
+Rafael Sanchez they're all replaceable except for the singer. that goes for any band. it's not like they are playing anything complicated that a teenager couldn't do.
Don't take that as an argument, Tool haven't had a record since 2006 and they are still around. Plus, Chad has confirmed quite some times that they did not break up. Just be patient, BB will return big time! ;)
If Aaron and Mark didn't go behind Ben's back and sell the digital version of the Blow Me Away song without his permission, they would probably still be there...very underhanded by them and a stab in the back to Ben if you ask me...pretty crappy and sneaky...
VIEJO BEN. TOTEELA! Calles Atestadas,Despejadas a lo lejos. Uno Por Uno. Heroes huecos se separan, Segun como corran. Tu estas tan frio Conserva tu mano sobre la mia. Hombres sabios se preguntan mientras hombres fuertes mueren.
@Doomon15 every artists sounds different from the album to live... and he had a major lung diseas during that whole year and i think for a few after that too...
vXAudioOutlawXv Tbh, I think it's because the rest adds too much. Back then, it was just Ben creating all, but the drums. He created riffs, maybe Aaron (Fink) and Mark changed a bit, but I'm not sure. The new group adds lyrics, changes it, changes riffs. It's good, and I love it alot. But old Breaking Benjamin had a way different sound. Not only tone-wise. It's like comparing two different bands. But I mean, what can we say? At least we have Ben, and at least he has great ass band members.
Ameer Sbeih the new lineup added what ben has wanted to do with the band for years that he couldn’t with the old members, he wanted to have a more dynamic sound, with three guitarists and Aaron and Keith singing backup it helps Bens voice as he’s not the sole singer anymore.
The nü metal/post grunge era is strong with these outfits
spy :o
Ben's voice is truly fantastic. He is one of the most talented male vocals i've heard in a long time
Best So cold live ever.

Almost as good as the cover by Straightaway... (One of my uploads)

I absolutely love watch Aaron play this
That transition into the chorus at 1:51 is SPOT fucking on.
I miss the old BB
Much better now
@@christophersmith2662 Absolutely not
Their best performance yet! Breaking Benjamin forever!
I’ve always wondered... who is this drummer? Because it isn’t chad, nor Jeremy. Unless I’m blind.
@9TheManiac His name is Kevin Soffera, he was on tour with them from June-August 2004, and was then replaced by B.C. Vaught until Chad Szeliga was hired as the full-time drummer in early 2005.
I mainly like this video because I get to see his face as he hits those cool notes in the chorus.
I love this song and ben's transformers shirt
Am I the only one who really admires Aaron as a player? He's definitely not Joe Satriani of Paul Gilbert, but he's one of the better modern guitarists I know.
yes he is really good
Mark tremonti
He's wild
There's something in this performance i cant stop watching it
@0:15 that fucking face though. Feeling that shit!!!
I miss Aaron and Mark very much. (( New BB stuff is great, but old is better in my opinion. They just have so much style in their playing.
Rafael Sanchez Get used to it. It's still the same just different people with the exception of Ben.
Man, i love new, but it's not the same, this may sound the same to you, because you maybe are not musician. What is the same is Ben's vocal and rhythm part of guitar.
SKAR Venegas BTW, this main riff in this song was written by Mark (bassist).
ok?
+Rafael Sanchez they're all replaceable except for the singer. that goes for any band. it's not like they are playing anything complicated that a teenager couldn't do.
Is it weird that I'm laughing my ass off at his facial expressions?
I love him though.
One of my personal Favorite song ..
My favorite by this band
Old Band and the New Band...2 MONSTERS!!!!!!! ALWAYS GOOD!
I think he sounds good on both record and live. Hes just that amazing, and not many singers sound the same off record.
nice fade away scream in the begin
The guitar is fuckin epic
That scream at the beginning tho
Great album
BEN'S FACE AT 3:27-3:30 IS HILARIOUS!!!!
3:28 when you hit your toe
Damn, these guys are good live
LOL. @ the guitarist wearing a turtleneck sweater... Came straight from dinner at Grandmas.
In an alternate universe, the cast of Big Bang Theory would be rocking it out on stage.
I love there energy
pretty god damn good live
same t shirt he wore at aol sessions
Boy oh boy do they fucking rock!!!!!
awww i miss them!
Don't take that as an argument, Tool haven't had a record since 2006 and they are still around. Plus, Chad has confirmed quite some times that they did not break up. Just be patient, BB will return big time! ;)
its AAALLrooooi
Man Ben sounds amazing right here
when there are bands like this..i dont understand why jb and 1D even exist -.-
Thank Tool for the influence
i didnt know Ben is a Decepticon xD
@ christbatt05 that's not jeremy hummel
Ben is amazing performing live owo !
:O! I hadn't even watched the video yet but I clicked on this. It scared the shit out of me. XD
I wish they'd play the long intro like in the album version.
It's a lot better than this sudden transition.
sounds a million times better on record
Oh god...the quality...
That was bad ass
Breaking Benjain is one of the only bands that sound like they do on there albums
Aaron busting dem moves
BEN FOREVER...!!!
3:27 That rage face. O.O
PAUSE AT 3:28 = JIM CARREY
Great fucking singer. Amazing.
yeaaa.
saw em live back in 2009 fuckin epic at the chevy centre in youngstown ohio
If Aaron and Mark didn't go behind Ben's back and sell the digital version of the Blow Me Away song without his permission, they would probably still be there...very underhanded by them and a stab in the back to Ben if you ask me...pretty crappy and sneaky...
lol the face he pulls XD
Ben is fucking awesome! best band of all time.
if u watch them play this song live accoustic for the AOL Sessions Ben is wearing the same Transformers shirt for the same song
Waw Nice.. Video Lama nih.. 2004 :o
Guitar player has a nice live tone.
because your dad is awesome
i agree
nice!
badass
Who’s the drummer they got on this one?
@9TheManiac some fill in they had after the first got fired. ironically, I think his name was Ben or Benjamin
BB
@rechta thumbs up.. no joke lol
1:00 over and over again XD
Who's on drums in this video? Doesn't like like Jeremy or Chad
2022-Nov-02 Best live performance :))
As long as Ben isn’t the only singer, none of the new performances will touch his old ones
Mark's an innovator, hahaha
Who’s drumming??? Jeremy Hummel??
pretty fuckin good!!!
VIEJO BEN. TOTEELA!
Calles Atestadas,Despejadas a lo lejos.
Uno Por Uno.
Heroes huecos se separan,

Tu estas tan frio
Conserva tu mano sobre la mia.
Hombres sabios se preguntan mientras hombres fuertes mueren.
Hope so mate :D
lol hes such a nerd i love it
hahaha why is aaron dressed like my dad?
They have to do it man.....TV makes them cause they only have a certain amount of time to play.
@Doomon15 every artists sounds different from the album to live... and he had a major lung diseas during that whole year and i think for a few after that too...
1:00 SEEMS LEGIT
Who's the drummer it doesn't look like any of the three I know
@MrWaffles210 Yeah...and then he also reminds me of Matt Dillon.
who's the drummer
I'm sorry but, while the new BB is good... You can't touch Aaron, Mark & Chad. It sucks what happened but, this BB will be forever.

Nobody noticed that this was on Conan O'Brian Show. :(
His voice vibrates so other ppl can say he use autotune...

Whose the drummer?

Who's the drummer here?!
Oh my God.
LOOK AT FINK! Hahaha. This is an oldddddd video.
What's wrong with a decepticon shirt?
@MrWaffles210 Definetly just you
Old BB!
Epic face..
Because they need more new bands like this?
Is it just me or dose Ben remind you of Jim Carry
