Guess we can thank Jeremy for inspiring Ben to write "Had Enough" 😂😂😂

[@diegomazzaron9191]

Is that true?

[@therantwithgrant4271]

@diegomazzaron9191 yep. Ben used to talk about it before playing the song live at shows.

@@therantwithgrant4271what did he specifically say abt it? I never heard him say it before and now that I remember the lyrics it fit well with the dispute the two

Congratulations to Breaking Benjamin, one of the best bands of all time. Well deserved.

[@SamuelJGleason]

For the people asking why Ben wasn't there, the host explains it at 7:47 Ben is on tour right now, but they will have a show in PA where the current members will be inducted. Also, for those asking "why do they get to accept the award if they aren't members anymore?" Well, much like when Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, every member who was on a studio album, current or not, got to be inducted. It's only fair for the work they did for the band previously.

[@yupsure]

Breaking Ben is not on tour at the moment. I really think Ben didn't show is because there is still some bad blood between him and one or two of these guys. Just sucks. I wish they could have put any issues they may have against each other to the side. Showed up to this event, played one song together again one last time for the fans.

[@SamuelJGleason]

@@yupsure mark klepaski performed Firefly with Breaking Benjamin about a year ago and Aaron Bruch sung the song while Mark played bass I think it’s just Ben and Aaron that has bad blood now

[@yupsure]

@@joesmitherman5597 Yeah I know. I was at that show where Mark played with them

[@diegomazzaron9191]

Unfortunately I think Ben is again in bad blood with Aaron and Jeremy, oh well not just with this guys but also with all of the ex members aside Mark basically. I love Ben but at the same time he is probably a difficult and edgiest man to work with and to have around.

[@diegomazzaron9191]

Great night but however Chad Szeliga and Jonathan Price absolutely had to be invited too and talk about their experience in the band or even their personal anecdotes regarding that. These are two musicians especially Chad who were fundamental to the band, Chad played in the band for at least 8 years and with him the band grew even more and exploded worldwide. Jonathan, on the other hand, had been the first official bassist of the band even when they were just a trio with Ben, Jeremy and Jonathan himself, Price played in the band for three years before being replaced by Mark, who joined the band together with Aaron because they left Lifer.

I would pay to see this original line up even if it was for one time !

[@stephaniebell5095]

I agree. I miss the old lineup honestly and will always wonder what albums after their first 4 would've been like if all of the original members were still in the band. The new linup has great songs as well, love them ❤ I just miss Breaking Benjamin's old sound so much...🖤🥰🥺

[@therantwithgrant4271]

Because those rats went behind his back while he was I'll and gave the record label to mix HIS music with another artist without his consent as well as releasing an entire album without his consent.

[@laurenpusey2232]

How can past members of a band accept an award on a bands behalf when they have no rights to the bands name ? I find this extremely odd and off putting ….

[@realSethMeyers]

You don't know what rights the founding members may or may not still retain. That's all in contracts and not publicly available info.

[@BiteMyEar]

Kicking Jeremy out of the band because he had a kid was odd, why don’t you explain that one

[@okayibelieveyou9330]

funny how the only important member wasnt here hes too good for them anyway

[@diegomazzaron9191]

You don’t know all truth and story about Breaking Benjamin like most of the people and obviously also myself, I think there’s many things less or more important about the break up of this band in 2011. I love Ben but he is not absolutely a saint or a good example in general anyway, there are always at least two sides to every story and only they themselves and all the people close to them know this well for various reasons.

[@neroknight1234]

@@diegomazzaron9191I agree. BB is literally 90% of the only music I listen to and play. I think Ben probably had a childish attitude he fired Hummel for literally going on paternity leave and then he fired the two other because of whatever reason. It’s probably a collective of faults that lead to the disbandment. I don’t think their current line up is on par with their previous line up. Especially losing Aaron fink and chad/Hummel.

[@Lucas500ll]

Actually you’re right, without Ben they would be nothing

[@michaelbar570]

​@@neroknight1234Benjamin Burnley claiming to be so sick is a bunch of crap! He wanted to be the owner of the band name! Do you think the new guys are members of HIS band?
