BREAKING BENJAMIN talk Star Wars fandom, refusing to rush the writing process, & more!

The Point's LIV MADDIX catches up with BREAKING BENJAMIN frontman/singer Ben Burnley and guitarist Jasen Rauch before their Point BIG Summer Show with Disturbed on August 29th, 2023 at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. Ben and Liv discuss Star Wars fandom and Jason fills us in on the band's writing process. Does taking such a long break between albums makes the writing process harder? Burnley and Rauch discuss that question, how the pandemic interrupted their process, being patient and not pushing out songs before they are ready, and more. Thanks to ‪@breakingbenjamin‬ for spending a few minutes with us before the show!

FACTS 🤘

Been saying that

[@ColleenMarie13]

YES

[@MultiGreenday95]

The time I met ben backstage and shook his hand it while he loved my BB tat was probably one of the best moments of my life. Rock on 🤘

[@coopzilla5471]

Man I love Breaking benjamin

[@hermit5144]

Me too

[@souperman7326]

Finally someone asks Ben some Star Wars related questions! Always knew he was a big SW guy, but never knew how he felt about the newer stuff, or if he even followed it at all anymore, good to know he’s still a nerd like the rest of us lol

[@riotgamerz1605]

We’re all desperate for new music, but I know it will be so worth the wait. Phobia was the third album of the old band and it was the most successful. Maybe is the same with this one!

[@thedarkknight2424]

Honestly even if it was intended to be funny, the “people want our disease” sounds like a pretty cool name for the next breaking Benjamin album

[@GDM1787]

I told Ben during a livestream to make a soft album, so they made Aurora. I’m sorry everybody. He misinterpreted the type of soft music I meant. I was referring to more of the, “Forget it”, “Ashes of Eden”, etc. type sound. Dang it!!!

[@thedarkknight2424]

Honestly, I’ve always wanted a soft album similar to songs like “forget it”, “what lies beneath”, “here we are” and “forever” Fingers crossed for next year

@@harrisonwhite3037 rain is pretty good too its right up there with “you” and “here we are” two of my favorite breaking Benjamin songs

[@eslwgpg1226]

Why on earth would you ask them to make a soft album in the first place?

[@laurenmarie3498]

Any music from BB is awesome! I’d go to every concert if I could! ❤❤❤

[@WildFang39]

3:20 idk what tf they talking about. They can release a cover of the most accepted trash song and it’s a instant download for me.

[@Mooshie1616]

I discovered BB before most knew heard of them, 2004 I think. I'm 60 now and their music still speaks to me. Please don't change your sound, awesome music. Love this band!

[@jessebakken7547]

I'm a simple man. When Ben talks about Ahsoka, I slap "Like" now.

[@paintball130]

love these guys so much

[@mcrich1978]

[@melaniegirard7427]

Why are you all wearing sunglasses inside?

Lighting for filming videos is way brighter than it looks on this side.

[@LordChaos36]

Is Ben drunk? 😅😅😅

[@robinh1224]

No, I think he's just a dork (in a good and relatable way). Probably has ADD/ADHD and likely a natural introvert lol

[@UNITED38Heavy]

I really hope he hasn’t went back to drinking, I’m in recovery myself I know it’s a tough battle/war to fight. I hope the best for Ben.

[@nickshepley2566]

I doubt it but I genuinely hope not That would break me

[@Faven2011]

No he stopped drinking years ago.
