Breaking Benjamin Owns. They're playing a cover song from Tool because its one of their biggest influenses. Their paying Homage to the band ok. Ben knows he's not maynard more than any commenting person will point out. If you want to hear Tool's version go find it. They did the best they could to make it their own. Respect to Breaking Benjamin, you guys are amazing.
Aaron Lewis couldn't even get the fucking lyrics right. lol Ben was sick at this time, this wasn't exactly his fault (he should've taken care of himself). If Ben did this any other time, he'd be great.
Thank you to all theses thankles tool fans who wont appreciate a band who actually have the decency to cover thier song even with a frickin disease , tool isnt the greatest thing in this world , trust me
This was performed in 2001, when they were just starting out, the whole band wasn't even together. I've heard more recent covers by this band and they've gotten better by far.
It's a cover. It's not supposed to sound exactly the same. I love both these bands and they did as good a job as possible. I love it. I still love tool to death.
Ben might've been drunk during this cover, because it was during their earlier days when he was still training his voice and such. People are f*cking stupid if they compare other bands to BB by this song. Want something to compare to? Try their new album Dark Before Dawn. Rant over. ✌
tool will never be matched by todays modern rock..i truly believe they are the dominant band of their time. I think maybe only nirvana and pearl jam can match up...but they have been a band for longer..so tool has definately made themselves one of the greatest
i understand what kyuubikun is trying to say...maynard is perfect for the song cuz he put his mood into it/feeling unlike BB who sang like someone from the 50's. his voice rly was pretty wavy too i noticed and doesnt come close to the originals.
they've got balls for covering tool, you've gotta give them that. But they're trying to be too much like tool, the whole point of a cover is to make it in your own style, but they've just tried too hard to sound like tool would.
They've got balls for trying this, and I've honestly got to give them some respect for the attempt. Personally, I don't like it. Tool's just one of those bands that fits itself so tightly that it's impossible for anything else to hold on.
Oh damn they made a cover for this? haha I heard it playing and I was like...this isn't BB but what'ya know. Not bad cover, I'm a real big fan of both Tool and Breaking Benjamin
i actually really like the bass tone on this cover. any clue what bass? looking for a bass with that kinda sound atm, and i like this tone, not sure if it fits the song... might grow on me.
Tyler Secrest he didnt have the lung infection at the time. I think. Im pretty sure that was a withdraw effect of drinking. But I am sure he was drunk as shit at this concert.
A suggestion: If you aren't a Breaking Benjamin fan, and you disapprove of them covering Tool, and all you are here to do is bash the hell out of them. Then don't watch the videos. It's clearly stated in the title what it is. If you don't like Breaking Benjamin to begin with then why bother?
I normally hate covers of Tool songs cuz Tool's my favourite band and the covers of their songs normally suck, but I would just like to point out that I never said this cover sucked! they actually did ok with this song, I just didn't agree when u said they made it their own style, and was wondering how u could say they made it their own style, but I can see where you're coming from with that now.
Ben Burnley has every right to cover Tool ad if anyone had cared to read the BB website they mention Tool as their key influence. This isn't their best cover but it's better than some covers I've heard, plus what you must realise is that this is live... No studio production on the track!!!
I love both Breaking Benjamin and Tool and I can appreciate that BB at least tried to do a cover. This isn't the best, but Tool is, in all honesty, a very difficult band to cover.
dang it I didnt mean to mark as spam ! I MEANT TO COMMENT ! SORRY ! I was gonna say...Ben hes also playing guitar...you dont see Maynard up there tryin to play AND sing. Therefore I don't think people can even judge Ben for trying. I like Tool and BB alot...I think BB does awesome Tool covers...sure they arnt perfect...but atleast they try...
Breaking Benjamin is the best band in the whole world! You guys just can't apriciate good music. I mean if you don't like it then don't listen to it. you don't have to be rude and put your two sence into it. Just don't listen to it. Gosh! There are just some mean people. I love Breaking Benjamin. They are amazing. :)))
it gets on my nerves, some of the comments people are leaving. its a COVER. meaning, another version of a song. and by the sound of it, ben sang this back when he was sick. and who knows? maybe he wasnt sober while singing it. ^.^ so mellow the fuck out.
ok i seen way to much hate on this video about breakin benjamin wow one song they do a cover for and everyone is like oh wtf bb sucks no bb is awesome bb is one of the greatest bands ive ever heard maybe you guys like this tool band but who cares if somebody does a cover it means there tryin to make the song more popular so u tool fans should be happy that bb did a cover for tool and made most likely made the tool band and this song more popular.
I dont think people really get it...I dont think you guys getting any of it... BB didn't play Tool to say "hey were as good" or "hey were better" music is fun to play...its fun to share. Its an unexplainable drive. I learn and play Breaking benjamin songs not because Im mocking them or saying I'm better. I just do it cause I love it. I think thats all BB did...fuck the fans...its about having fun...
wow dude...i am a HUGE bb fan but he just dont have the vocals for a tool song, they are both kickass bands but tool is a different sound and ben just cant pull it off, not everyone is made to be a cover band and bb is definately not a cover band they need to stick with thier own songs, but i guess in contradicting my own lil speech here thier cover of who wants to live forever by queen was almost flawless it was amazing...
how did they make it their own? they didn't change a thing about it, they just played it, that isn't making it their own. A good example of making a song your own would be Tool's cover of No Quarter... or Marilyn Manson doing any of his cover songs.
compared to the Limp shitzkit cover of Opiate this is fucking genius! Of course it does sound like Elvis & Glenn Danzig combined into one voice for BB's lead singer.
I seen tool within the past year and the whole floor was a pit. I'm a huge tool fan. I'm not saying not to cover them but to say the cover is better is just dumb. Thats like saying staind's cover of comfortably numb is better than Pink Floyds.
yeah it would be good in a studio but it probably wont beat tools cover because its really fucking good and its hard to beat it..BB is good but yet tool has more exsperience than BB..but it would still be awsome
its a comment , im not writing a paper in an English class to be graded later on...but how have you not heard the original, if you were 20 or above you would have least heard the song randomly on the radio at some given time, and if you want to insult Tool, go to a Tool concert and then see Breaking whoever and then form an opinion
Have you guys even HEARD the Tool version? He sounds NOTHING like Maynard. And does anyone remember D'Amour's fucking badass bass tone? This guy sounds like he's playing a fucking broomstick compared to Paul. Don't even get me started on the drums.
and thats the point, why would you want a cover that sounds a exactly the same. might as well have tool rerecord their albums and call it a cover of themselves.
yeah ive heard the original or else i wouldnt be able to say that bb does it better then tool now its just my opinion im just sayin that i like the way bb plays the song better then how tool does so dont get all mad because its just my opinion.
@jrptrapt then every band who ever had a cover of their song done should sue the band who covered it, if you were to go by your friend's logic. bands cover each other's music all the time. you're right. it's not a big deal. in the world of art, whether it be visual, musical, what have you, it's not stealing/copyright infringement if you take it and "make it your own," meaning you add your own little twist to it, which any normal band will do. bb is influenced by tool, matter of fact.
i LOVE TOOL n i like breaking benjamin...when they're not covering TOOL songs. i mean it jus sounds like he's trying way to hard to sound cool..n he doesn't. plus Maynard is the shit and TOOL are like family so they jus click with each other. no other band can even compare, but i'm not gonna knock breaking benjamin cuz their own shit is straight.
I think the singer's voice works for this song. He does a pretty decent Maynard. Although NO ONE could surpass Maynard. But I agree that it sounds like he tried to hard. His voice is somewhat shaky from it. He should have sang more casual...
Hey this is 4 sprinkler1234.... BB is the best band in the whole world you can't say that ben's voice sucks when it seems that you don't even know BB if you just listen the music of BB you´ll regret of what you said !!!
the song is amazing, everyone that doens't understand that no one can sing the same way because everyone as a diferent voice, can put they're vocal chords up theyr asses and sing this. if u do it i'l give u guys a cookie, so lesson : start a band and fail miserably
Breaking Benjamin Owns. They're playing a cover song from Tool because its one of their biggest influenses. Their paying Homage to the band ok. Ben knows he's not maynard more than any commenting person will point out. If you want to hear Tool's version go find it. They did the best they could to make it their own. Respect to Breaking Benjamin, you guys are amazing.
Breaking Benjamin covers Sober? No way! This is my favorite Tool song!
WOW Ben is amazing he really rocked this cover !! What a great song to sing also. Tool rocks !!
It's a cover not a duplication.
I like it.
Best cover of this song I've heard, but the original still is better. Props to one of my favourite bands covering my absolute favourite band.
2 of my favorite bands!! one of my favorite songs!!! amazing!! BB= amazing
Aaron Lewis couldn't even get the fucking lyrics right. lol Ben was sick at this time, this wasn't exactly his fault (he should've taken care of himself). If Ben did this any other time, he'd be great.
breaking benjamin and tool, what a combo T_T
Didn't know I was gonna have to ask this question agian.
Am I the only one who likes the vocals?
let me be the first to say this beats Staind's and Limpbizkit's attempts. at least he doesn't fuck up the lyrics as much
This is the best cover version of anyone so far. Even better than BB's attempt on the other Tool songs!! Go Breaking Benjamin!!!!
Thank you to all theses thankles tool fans who wont appreciate a band who actually have the decency to cover thier song even with a frickin disease , tool isnt the greatest thing in this world , trust me

ShayCommaCarleigh their We're Not Alone and Phobia days are prime Breaking Benjamin. Dark Before Dawn disappointed me.
Maynard is not the only one who can "blend it all perfectly". Aaron Lewis can sing this song and do an awesome job.
I know all of you guys not talking about Breaking Benjamin like that...
loved it!! cant stop listening to it
it's fuckin beautiful !
tool will never be matched by todays modern rock..i truly believe they are the dominant band of their time. I think maybe only nirvana and pearl jam can match up...but they have been a band for longer..so tool has definately made themselves one of the greatest
i heard that ben has been sober for a year.
so this must have been a while ago...
I gained respect for Breaking Benjamin. Not many bands have the balls to cover Tool songs. Especially ones like Aenima or Prison Sex.
guess what, everyone: the description states that, for once, breaking benjamin makes use of language in this song. well, congratulations, boys.
i understand what kyuubikun is trying to say...maynard is perfect for the song cuz he put his mood into it/feeling unlike BB who sang like someone from the 50's. his voice rly was pretty wavy too i noticed and doesnt come close to the originals.

wow this is a pretty good cover props to breakin benjamin
if breaking benjamin want to make this song in the studio, i swear it will kick tool ass very far...
Dammit Benjamin, why do you have to smoke!!! Your ruining your lungs!!!
I love both bands. But why does it sound like he's singing into a cup of water during the soft parts??
+mikelunn67 because this is live and probably recorded by a cell phone mic
Also, lung infection.
Tyler Secrest he didnt have the lung infection at the time. I think. Im pretty sure that was a withdraw effect of drinking. But I am sure he was drunk as shit at this concert.
This is a really good song, I don't give a shit if he's trying to sound like anyone, the song is damn good.
so you made decided to make another one great video i like the song

@bcchronicking hes not trying to imittate him. its a cover by a fan, its not supposed to be the same as the original.
heeey this was uploaded 2 day before my birthday. lol
i think its fuckin awsome that breaking ben covers Tool.
I love both Breaking Benjamin and Tool and I can appreciate that BB at least tried to do a cover. This isn't the best, but Tool is, in all honesty, a very difficult band to cover.
dang it I didnt mean to mark as spam ! I MEANT TO COMMENT ! SORRY ! I was gonna say...Ben hes also playing guitar...you dont see Maynard up there tryin to play AND sing.

Breaking Benjamin is the best band in the whole world! You guys just can't apriciate good music. I mean if you don't like it then don't listen to it. you don't have to be rude and put your two sence into it. Just don't listen to it. Gosh!
There are just some mean people. I love Breaking Benjamin. They are amazing. :)))
AMEN BROTHA!
and don't forget about adam jones' guitar wich is absolutely awensome and uncopyable
it gets on my nerves, some of the comments people are leaving. its a COVER. meaning, another version of a song. and by the sound of it, ben sang this back when he was sick. and who knows? maybe he wasnt sober while singing it. ^.^ so mellow the fuck out.

The version I had he forgot a lot of the lyrics. I deleted it.
@TheBAallday Well thanks. That makes me feel real good inside.
i agree.
i think this is a wonderful do over.....
aye!
wow dude...i am a HUGE bb fan but he just dont have the vocals for a tool song, they are both kickass bands but tool is a different sound and ben just cant pull it off, not everyone is made to be a cover band and bb is definately not a cover band they need to stick with thier own songs, but i guess in contradicting my own lil speech here thier cover of who wants to live forever by queen was almost flawless it was amazing...

compared to the Limp shitzkit cover of Opiate this is fucking genius! Of course it does sound like Elvis & Glenn Danzig combined into one voice for BB's lead singer.
that was quite cool
Are they Tool's?
I second that
nothing compared to limp bizkit and their tool covers... this is beyond belief if you compare the two
sorry who sang this orginally
Deep man deep
Good band
00;47 who's that?
ooh my god hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha man that was hillarious!!!!!
"Warning: This song/video does contain use of language"
LOLOLOL
Great:)
I seen tool within the past year and the whole floor was a pit. I'm a huge tool fan. I'm not saying not to cover them but to say the cover is better is just dumb. Thats like saying staind's cover of comfortably numb is better than Pink Floyds.
touche...
he is not mocking the singer! this is a fucking tribute!
yeah it would be good in a studio but it probably wont beat tools cover because its really fucking good and its hard to beat it..BB is good but yet tool has more exsperience than BB..but it would still be awsome
what about shout2000?
its a comment , im not writing a paper in an English class to be graded later on...but how have you not heard the original, if you were 20 or above you would have least heard the song randomly on the radio at some given time, and if you want to insult Tool, go to a Tool concert and then see Breaking whoever and then form an opinion
Have you guys even HEARD the Tool version? He sounds NOTHING like Maynard. And does anyone remember D'Amour's fucking badass bass tone? This guy sounds like he's playing a fucking broomstick compared to Paul. Don't even get me started on the drums.
yeah, me too;)
Its a cover of a Tool song
I guess that's also something to point out....important stuff
and thats the point, why would you want a cover that sounds a exactly the same. might as well have tool rerecord their albums and call it a cover of themselves.
yea come on guys it's a cover not a fuckin carbon copy. Who cares he dosen't sound EXACTLY like maynard who can?
yeah ive heard the original or else i wouldnt be able to say that bb does it better then tool now its just my opinion im just sayin that i like the way bb plays the song better then how tool does so dont get all mad because its just my opinion.

i concur. an amazing bands work has been slaughtered here.
IMO......Can't even come close to saying that this version is better than Tool's or..............saying that "no one is better than BB".
you're fired
I don't mind the cover. It really isnt bad. But the bass is WAY to damn quiet and thin.
thats why its a cover, not the original.
i LOVE TOOL n i like breaking benjamin...when they're not covering TOOL songs. i mean it jus sounds like he's trying way to hard to sound cool..n he doesn't. plus Maynard is the shit and TOOL are like family so they jus click with each other. no other band can even compare, but i'm not gonna knock breaking benjamin cuz their own shit is straight.
Sounds like a male version of Dolly Parton!
I think the singer's voice works for this song. He does a pretty decent Maynard. Although NO ONE could surpass Maynard. But I agree that it sounds like he tried to hard. His voice is somewhat shaky from it. He should have sang more casual...
@TheBAallday
"Trying to drowned him" ....think about that and fix you comment
Better than there version of aenima, I give them that. :)
Hey this is 4 sprinkler1234....
BB is the best band in the whole world you can't say that ben's voice sucks when it seems that you don't even know BB if you just listen the music of BB you´ll regret of what you said !!!
Awesome, stop it you haters. Can't imagine a better cover of maynard. You can't COPY his voice, just make your own interpretation.
the song is amazing, everyone that doens't understand that no one can sing the same way because everyone as a diferent voice, can put they're vocal chords up theyr asses and sing this. if u do it i'l give u guys a cookie, so lesson : start a band and fail miserably
Jesus, I dont mean to be offensive but does the singer have a scorpion in his mouth while he's trying to sing????
Trying to cover tool is like trying to walk in jesus's footsteps, and jesus could walk on water!
cool
@MrRoss331 sorry his singing hurt my ears so bad that i couldnt spell right. and you sound like a real duesh haha
