Breaking Benjamin (Breath) Kel's First Reaction

[@Knightkrawla34]

Benjamin Burnley has easily one of thee most underrated and unique vocals to come through the early 2000 era

[@albertwesker2283]

Pete Loeffler of Chevelle

[@s.a.cmajor5822]

Bens voice has aged like fine wine.

[@jmeszi4159]

Ben isn’t really underrated. He was recognized as one of the best vocals of the early 2000’s

[@MatanIzhak]

I swear dude really, and his lyrics too, just making a hole through your heart

[@molonlabe1509]

@@jmeszi4159 I'd say underrated, just because I'd put him up against some of the best rock vocalists *ever*. I bet if you put him up for karaoke for pretty much any song from 1960-present he'd be able to kill it. I can only think of a few other guys I'd put in that group.

[@alvinruble6939]

I haven't commented for awhile but breaking Benjamin is a great band. Thank you.

[@utubie24]

Breath is amazing. One of my favorite songs period

[@warmachine830]

Aztek yes indeed it is, it very much utterly, absolutely and really is

[@ag2mrp]

I get where you're both coming from. I was bullied almost all the way through school, and ended walking into an abusive marriage. It's not always easy to stand up for yourself or to fight back. The experiences stick with you, even years after you've escaped the situation. Music became my outlet to help overcome the pain and anger, and it's nice to see the two of you sharing the joy and pleasure that music can bring into our lives. Keep it up, and we love you. You're both awesome!

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Thank you so very much Mathew!!! We love you as well. We get what you are sharing and feel it to our cores. You rock. KnR

[@neroknight1234]

Just gotta say enough and stand up for yourself.

[@jasonstinebaugh8447]

To both of you. Screw the haters! I need a Kel in my life! Rich, you're a cool dude and I mean that in the best way.

Thanks Jason!!!!! So nice of you to say that. Wahoooooo!!!! You got us!!!!

[@myheathenheart1259]

I love seeing how much you guys feel the music on a level that .any people dont anymore. Its nice to see others actually feel the music , like I do. I dont meet anyone like that anymore

[@Mzlady1212]

Same here! Because especially when you pay attention and relate to the lyrics of music is the most important parts of what most are feeling. 😎💯

[@jaketieri5108]

You two are just absolutely adorable with each other

[@vaughnweber0929]

I've seen Breaking Benjamin about 10 or 12 times. I have taken my 5 daughters and now my granddaughter. My granddaughter was on stage with them two years ago and several of us got to go on stage with them this last summer. They are so good and just keep getting better.

[@jamespaivapaiva4460]

u go girl rich you are a very lucky man. GOD bless you both. Many thanks, much respect-Love from Ct.

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

Yeah, I agree with you guys. The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to them. We really do need to change our internet culture by condemning a-holes online. If they are always shamed and shown it's never acceptable, perhaps it will help knock that crap back.

[@amorodioamor4388]

Q*bert You actually got to outsmart them. When I was in junior high and a bully or bothersome person did something I acted like I liked it. Didn't give them what they wanted. Tried to give me the arm burn by twisting hands back and forth. I smiled and said that feels sooo good. Irritated he moved on to someone else who reacted the way they liked.

[@Jlog1978]

I love the way Kel loves and defends her husband. Love the way you got after those people who try to bring you down, keep you head up and keep up the great channel!

[@Kylie-tl1wo]

I really appreciate how down to earth you are❤️

My favorite breaking Benjamin song

[@kyleespringer1373]

"polyamorous" by breaking bemjamin is beyond amazing! It definitely shows how they've grown over the years absolutely perfect!!

Yeah that's my favorite song 😎

[@vladdracula3370]

Great song my childhood when it comes to music ran around breaking benjamin glad y’all reacted to this

[@ricki21225]

You are more than just a reaction channel & I've thoroughly been loving everything I see & hear thus far. I only found you guys a couple of months ago & I've been binge watching your videos ever since! Today you've taken it to another level. I'm so happy you both speak your truth & I hope that someday I get the privilege of meeting you! You are amazing! Love to you both from Upstate, NY. My name is Debbie & I'm 66 yrs old. Loving the music, both old & new! By the way...I'm obsessed with Nightwish....I only found them 2-3 months ago also! What rock have I been hiding under, not knowing about them before now!! 😊💜💙💖🤘

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

First off...much love to you and thank you Debbie! It’s nice to hear you share this. It’s super inspiring knowing that you are sharing the days with us and really getting a lot out of them. Nightwish was new to us as well. So many choices of music and so much other life to live. I had a summer home in Highland Mills, NY. Are you close to that region? Have a super night.

[@ricki21225]

Kel-n-Rich thank you for responding! Yes so much music still to hear! I've been listening to music I would have never listened to years ago & some of it has been amazing! Thank you so much for your channel. I've watched other reaction channels & yours is the best. So many stories to be told. We should never stop learning in life because you will never know what's around the next corner. I live about 3 hours from Highland Mills according to google maps....I live in Norwich, NY. For as long as I'm around, you have me as a loyal subscriber! Rock on dude & dudette! 😄💜💖💙

[@jeffbeavers2256]

Kel and Rich I truly enjoy ur reactions. I know the songs hearing them through Kels ears has been truly enjoyable

[@rickthompson3268]

In my opinion this is one of their best songs. I’ve seen them in concert twice..

[@amorodioamor4388]

I saw Breaking Benjamin as a headliner live. Opening for them was Benjamin.

[@joshuaebel7096]

Personally I love that whole album because Benjamin Burnley (the lead singer) writes all their music and a lot of it is about his life. That album "Phobia" a lot of the songs were about his deepest fears, and another one of their albums is called "Dark Before Dawn" and it is about his struggle with alcoholism and how it almost killed him and his recovery from that. I love them because their music is so personal to him that you can hear the passion in his voice when he sings. I was lucky enough to see them in concert recently and that passion you hear in his voice is definitely amplified in the live performance. They are definitely my favorite band of all time.

[@haveuforgotten]

I've seen theses guys 4 times and they bring the roof down. They are freaking awesome live

[@winddancer1401]

I am really happy to see that there are still good and happy couple out there who like music and this song I have listened to it allot of time and still like it keep going no matter what others say.👍🏼

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Thank you so much for saying this. We absolutely loved doing reactions and hope to make our return very soon. Much appreciation of love to you. KnR

[@davidbutler3149]

Omg...this band is great on any song they do...love it...thank you for the reaction rich it is breath not breathe...the song is about addiction and depression from it...you take the breath right out of me is the addiction trying to take over..then the get away please...he is begging for the addiction to be gone ..then he says I'll be the death of you or overcoming the addiction...Ben the lead singer dealt with alcohol addiction...ty for this great reaction...

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Yes. Of course!

Breaking Benjamin and Avenged Sevenfold is my favorite metal bands ever! So I agree with you Rich that BB has created some of the best music in the 21st century! I have a playlist with 37 of their songs that I can sing throughout the whole songs! 👏🏼 great reaction btw! My fav couple on KZbin 🥰♥️

[@jeffmartin1026]

First up - Lookin' Dapper tonight!! Second - This was my first "known" Breaking Benjamin song but I do enjoy being exposed to different music through you two. Thanks to you for all you do.

[@arturogonzalez755]

Beautiful song and reaction

[@nwj03a]

Listened to a lot of breaking Benjamin when I was deployed to Iraq. “Rain” still gives me chills today, not a complicated song, but it resonated then and now. The anger under the surface of their music just worked for me. Connected you back to where you’re from in some odd way.

[@folkme3042]

Don't let the haters get to you.You guys have the best reaction channel on KZbin IMHO.There will always be negative people who try to push your buttons but I'm convinced that the vast majority of your viewers really appreciate what you do.It could be that they are also jealous of your relationship as it is so obvious the love you have for each other.Please don't ever change.You both brighten my day.Thank you.

[@christolley7628]

This song still all these years later gives me goosebumps. Epic. Clearly their best album was Phobia.

[@gregroberge8873]

There is no accountability on the internet. It is as simple as that. Love you guys, keep the reactions going.

[@wendydotson8891]

This was a good song to choose for a first breaking Benjamin experience, it really showcases the style they are, even if it’s not one of the big ones. I just consider them straight up hard rock though. This is my second favorite band and most listened to band, they calm me when I’m going crazy. 😍

[@laochnasolais5520]

To Kel's response to the stupid remarks pointed at either of you I say "Word". You two rock!

[@SuperDoomspoon]

Amen!!! KelnRich!👍🤘🏻

[@greggilmore2766]

I haven't commented on here before, and I love your reactions (especially the Genesis tracks you've reacted to), but more-so thanks for standing up to cyber bullying and trolling. It's such a plague to internet and general societal discourse now, and people need to continue stepping up and speaking out. You're doing great; thanks for letting us in on your experiences!

[@shadow50119]

Yup ... Been here for the entire show. And tell Kel from one French Canadian to another ... We do have long fuses but when it's gone the exposion gets many. I also DON'T tolerate BULLIES and when a bully crosses my path he is quick to realize short people you shouldn't mess with when they are MAD. And I do practice the Non Agression Pact which is YOU DON'T HIT ME AND I DON'T HIT YOU, but if you do that will be the last thing you do. So; tell Kel not to stop being herself. She will find there is both GREAT beauty in the world as there is ugliness.

[@charlielightfoot7006]

It was so interesting to see Kel's first reaction to "Mr. Blue Sky" by ELO, which was how I was introduced to this channel. Her rare sheltered life is what makes that kind of reaction possible. But it's fascinating to witness her catharsis from that sheltered life as well. I watched the full video although a few months ago I wouldn't have dreamed of doing so. I suppose I'm still changing too.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Great words Charlie. Thank you. Inspiring big time.

[@c.willharden9589]

Obviously these are people (w/negative comments) with their egos out of line. they seek validation for their existence and that you give a s*** what they have to say and feel. But of course , they just expose themselves for being what they are.

[@warmachine830]

C. Will Harden yeah mate your expressing how many feel, but these negative people draw no response from me because thats letting them win. I totally agree with you fella. If anything i feel sorry for them

[@watchtheskies]

Yes, my favorite Breaking Benjamin song :)

[@nedrini1387]

Mine too!

[@warmachine830]

watchtheskies i understand what your saying, this very song was mine and my sons song.... We would listen to it everyday together, it was a time where in that immediate moment me and my son were the only people in the world, nothing or nobody else mattered. I miss my son, i think of him every minute of the day but rather than be negative i forever remember him for all the positive things he thought, said and did. This song has been a instant add to any playlist i have. So for me this song is unequalled. #breakingbenjaminforever2020

[@Nuuks67]

Good job ya'll. Keep'n it real!

[@jodyharris6622]

When I hear this song, I think of a person struggling with an inner demon. Kinda like he’s looking at himself through a mirror and talking to himself about the struggle inside himself. JMO

[@LongandWeirdName]

This song gets to me. And, quite honestly, I wish I could shut the little fu... I mean, the emotional inner voice, up for good. It just gets in the way. Like an annoying splinter under my nail, stopping me from using my hands as well as I could or a fly in your room when you're trying to focus. He is getting quieter and easier to ignore, though, so... Here's hoping.

[@Dyrtbag68]

Seeing how this video got super negative towards the end and totally took a left turn at entertainment it really changed any comment I had on Breaking Benjamin. While I agree that you should stand up for yourself, when you put yourself out on youtube, you unwittingly become a celebrity for people to pick on. You have to ignore this since these people are the same ones that come back to view your comments after they unsub from your channel. I don't know what happened to Rich but people send parting shots mainly because they've connected with you on some level and something has affected them and they refuse to point the finger at themselves. You being the idol that can't touch them become the focus of all of their shit. Be yourselves, don't let them get to you. They'll be back to appreciate you, smile through their anger, it's not about you.

This song is most likely about a relationship where one person has changed and the other person hates who that person has become, but at the same time can't let go because they are still in love

[@cheepvodka-gaming2629]

I can see that. I have always looked at it meaning it's about the eternal fight with the person with in. The inside part of you that tells you that you aren't good enough, the part that causes anxiety "you take the breath right out of me" sounds like a possible anxiety attack. It's like he is talking about fighting himself. "Sacrifice yourself and let me have what's left, I know that I can find the fire in your eyes" it's someone talking to themselves trying to fight against whatever demons that cause their own self doubt.
