Fun fact: Benjamin Burnley has a Phobia of flying and it's limited BB's touring capacity. That fear is actually the inspiration behind the cover art of their album, Phobia.

Yess I still adore Breaking Benjamin and Ben truly is such an underrated vocalist. For sure fit in with the Papa Roach/Three Days Grace/Shinedown era of music and I still listen to a lot of it. Breath (from the same album) seems like the main fan favorite if you want more. Thanks for the reaction!

[@Roguenjosh]

Thanks man I’ll have to check our Breath!

[@16Craft82]

Old comment but I absolutely adore when breaking Benjamin and three days grace tour together. They were with Chevelle maybe 1 or 2 years ago and it was one of my top concerts ever.

[@tdvcyt2534]

Check out Dance with the Devil

[@GrayGoosey1134]

My favorite song!

[@rendrag13]

Drop Bb in the early to mid 2000s was crazy. Def explains some of the mildly djenty vibes. Especially with the pushed midrange, harmonics, and syncopated rhythms

[@--XloW--]

thats why breaking benjamin is so good they have that kind of style u want to hear

[@chelle2806]

I'm super late to the party. But I was introduced to them at the age of 15, I've been listening none stop for 14 years and I never get sick of them. I don't think there's one song of theirs that I would skip if it came on. They definitely have heavier stuff, this is just the most popular. A lot of people missed them for some reason, but those who like them seem to be really hardcore.

[@alexalvarado4639]

React to Breaking Benjamin - Breath!

[@drewabbott6993]

A classic

[@meghanschuler4739]

My fav bb song. It has a soft spot for me. My fiance died last year. He was overseas, and he had never really heard rock when we first met, he was black from chi town, im white from like a country area of illinois. We were kind of opposites attract. Miss him so much. Anywho, so i first started with breathe. And, afterward he was addicted to rock. And his fav band became bb. And hed sing breathe to me a lot. So, yeah now it makes me cry but ill always love it now.

[@punkrocker4life9674]

Best BB song. These needs more thumbs up!

[@kaidms]

Great song. It's an amv classic

[@richardsewell8787]

I agree!

[@zactogepi6824]

Their musicianship and songwriting are so good for the type of music they do

[@Fyrwulf]

Just for reference, this was released in 2006. It also happens to be one of Breaking Benjamin's lighter songs. Give Red Cold River and Tourniquet a listen.

[@DNSV-ex8of]

14 years ago not 11 but close enough. This came out in 2006.

[@josevolquez3637]

Nice reaction bro, here try this ones: Save Yourself Down Red Cold River Hollow Had enough Hopeless Crawl Into The Norhing Home Phase Shallow Bay (the song from Saturate) Hope you liked it!

This is just one of many awesome tracks from Breaking Benjamin, one of my favorite bands from the last 20 years. Other awesome songs from the same album (Phobia) include Breath, You, Evil Angel, Topless, Here We Are, Had Enough....so many great BB songs out there.

breaking benjamin will always hold a high rankiing in my favorite bands list. they were the beginning of my journey into my current taste of music which has led to some of the best times in my life at concerts. benjamin burnley is a beast of a singer/songwriter and one of the coolest guys in the scene.

[@rebeccalevy8491]

Oh this song...this song is everything! This band is unfortunately very underrated. Definitely check out more!

[@bobtv7397]

Underrated? These guys sell out stadiums and are about always headliners and your calling them Underrated?? These guys are HUGE!!

Aussie here, NSW. I remember when this song came out, I waited for my dial up to buffer the video and watched this song endlessly on repeat.

[@HiroBrown]

Breaking Benjamin - So Cold

[@farwoodfarm9296]

We played a cover of this song in a band I was in years ago, not long after this came out. We were no good but this song is incredibly fun to play on Guitar/Bass

[@iversithy1927]

Never too late to learn about new bands. Thanks to you I learned about Mudvayne for example. :)

[@Roguenjosh]

One of my all time favourites!

[@MansterBear]

1:50 I was watching rap fans react to rock songs, and one of the guys was reacting to this for the first time, and when all the instrumentals hit his reaction was just "Man... there is ALOT of music going on here!" One of the best summaries of that part that I always think of now when I listen to this song lol

Saw them in concert August of 2019. Definitely as loud and hard as this song. Hard to find a bad song by them. See them in concert if you can!

[@cobrajeff96]

Funny because Sick Puppies used to tour with BB a whole lot of times. Good times!

[@LutzHeidbrink]

BREAKING BENJAMIN - "So Cold" - My first song from BB and still one of my fave. It got huge in the gaming field cause someone did a Video with the G-Man from Half Live 2 with this song and it got wide spread here in Germany. Keep it up and greetings from Germany.

[@AndreiaGomes-bh3jd]

Any BB song is awesome. There's artists that I love from the bottom of my heart and that I can find songs that I don't like. BB I basically love all of them, some more than the others, but I just love them and I'm a pretty recent fan! Btw, The Diary of Jane is from 2006 :) With this band Ben used to do most of the things, singing, back vocals, death growls, playing guitar, writing the songs and lyrics and some other musicians worked with him on a few songs as well, with the guys that you see on Far Away basically all of them write, 1 of the guitar players also plays piano (but with other cool machine), the other guitar player sings and is a back vocal most of the time but also sings live, the bassist is more of a back vocal but also sings and do the death growls.

[@lordkiesor22]

Yup dude, “So Cold” intrigued me but “Diary of Jane” made me a fan of this band, since Phobia came out. Great reaction dude.

[@fargonz6736]

So sick that your goin through some older hits, one of my faves. Definatley have a listen to their song Breath, it follows this song on the album.

[@daneaustin2468]

Yes you did miss out! BB is amazing. One of my favorite bands!

[@matthewswanton6953]

For some reason I've always thought of Breaking Benjamin as a heavier version of Three Days Grace. And im talking about when the original singer of Three days grace was in the band.

[@jaimeknoble3315]

I adored Breaking Benjamin when they came out and then somehow forgot about them over the years. I went back to an old playlist from the early 2000's and heard them again and am now again obsessed!

[@Roguenjosh]

They’re sick!

[@iversithy1927]

Btw here are a few reaction recommendations. First of, more Jinjer, always in high request: :) - I Speak Astronomy - Just Another (my fav.) - Perennial (Live) - Who is gonna be the one (Live) - Judgment and Punishment (You will be surprised which genre they mixed here) The next one is hit or miss. Babymetal (Not sure if you heard of them), they are quite well received on reaction channels. - Most start with "gimme chocolate" (as an introduction like Pisces for Jinjer) - Road of Resistance live in Japan (Heavy Dragonforce influence as it was co-written by Herman Li) - Rondo of Nightmare (with Mischiefs of God Intro) Another Japanese Band: "Band-Maid". Less/none pop in comparison to Babymetal. - Real Existence - Dice - Arcadia Girl More from Breaking Benjamin: - I will not Bow - Breath - Blow me Away Unleash The Archers - Awakening I think you might know the following bands already but just in case: The Amity Affliction - Pittsburgh Skillet - Monster - Hero Beartooth - The Lines - Hated Three Days Grace - "Animal" (Thanks for the reminder Alcas, no idea how to tag ppl) More Jinjer would obviously be awesome. :) The rest are just "ideas" for now, or if you ever run out of content. In regards to Babymetal, if it is a "hit" for you then there is quite a lot to discover as well, same as with Jinjer. But keep in mind that the first recommendation isn't their strongest song.

[@Roguenjosh]

Wow Iversithy what an amazing list!!! A few of these songs are popping up a lot so I am really excited to get into them, thank you so much for taking the time to do this for me!

[@iversithy1927]

@@Roguenjosh You're welcome. In the end, you are the one putting in most of the work and your takes are really enjoyable. :) Win-win I guess.

I was deep into heavy metal and moving into death metal when these guys came out. But when I heard them they became a guilty pleasure of mine to be honest. He's got a great voice. And they're catchy as fuck. That was 10 years ago. I've let go of the guilt now :)

[@Roguenjosh]

Let go of the guilt my friend!

[@Hollowboxcollectibles]

If you ever played Halo 2, the song “Blow Me Away” was on it. I first heard of BB in 2004 at a small venue in Tulsa, Oklahoma, US.

Subbed and like, great video and reaction 👍 Fucking loved this band, love all of their albums besides the newest one

[@francissauve6685]

My fav of them is Until The End by BB, but one kick ass song from them is "Lights Out"

[@ClickToPreview]

I know it's been three years, but the closest approximation to this song from the same era is probably Crossfade's "Cold". If you've never heard it, you should check it out. It's a little different, but is a good match for this.

[@henryhuimihungshi7432]

Give me a sign is a very good one, it's my favorite

They have a pretty heavy song that was written for Halo 2 and plays in the later game in one of the missions

More breaking Benjamin reactions !!

[@Roguenjosh]

For sure!

[@RC99_Productions]

Breaking Benjamin is one of very, very few bands where I can safely say that they've never made a single bad song. They remind me of bands around that time that had a medium/fast tempo, heavy riffs and memorable lyrics with bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Shinedown, Saliva etc. BB are THE quintessential post-grunge, hard rock/alt rock band. I'd just recommend their entire discography. Every song. Every album. They are THAT impressive. Also, here are other songs I recommend reactions for: - Saliva - "Always" - Staind - "Price To Pay" - Korn - "Blame" - Limp Bizkit - "The Truth" - Fozzy - "Enemy" Keep up the awesome work!

[@Roguenjosh]

Hey thanks so much and thanks for the list!

[@JeiCos]

11-12 years ago? I think that's just when the video was uplaoded. The album this song is on, came out in 2006. In fact On my 19th birthday (8/8/06). Also you said about the headband thing being Korn style from around 12 years ago? Fieldy and Jon Davis have been doing that since the 90s, but the main album where Jon was doing it was in 2002. Either way, BOTH this video, AND the Korn style things were a little more than just 11-12 years. More like 14 for this song (from the date of your upload in 2020), and 18-25ish years for the Korn thing.

[@switchpastel1993]

I had been listening to BB since So Cold days but Diary of Jane made the rounds in my friendship group because a snippet was featured in the cheesy dance film Step Up 2

[@SherlockB0nes]

If you want something new highly recommend their song Red Cold River. Off the album that came out 2 years ago and one of their heaviest. Albums actually the heaviest they’ve made

[@tngrrl73]

falling in reverse with their song "popular monster" please. Its a amazing song with deep meaning in its texts.

[@harveygoodwin694]

Breaking Benjamin has a unique sound in my opinion. I can pick their songs out just by hearing the guitar. Far Away is such a damn good song. I’ve been wanting to see them live and had a chance, bought tickets, and got the dates wrong so I missed it.

[@dealerauctionnightmare4689]

Breaking Benjamin had a song in the Bruce Willis movie called Surrogates. I Will Not Bow was played and the ending of the film.

I've been to concerts by Seether, Staind, Three Days Grace, Puddle of Mudd, 3 Doors Down, Trapt, Papa Roach, Hoobastank, Godsmack, Buck Cherry and most other bands of that time, but I became a massive Breaking Benjamin fan after seeing them in concert... in my opinion they were better live than most of those... his live singing was as good as their recordings...

[@richardsewell8787]

I wasn’t a big fan of the new album at first either, but a couple songs are kinda cool

[@moonbulletreaper8377]

React to shadow of intent - The Heretic prevails. The lyrics / album is written based on the Halo game. The new album Melancholy is not - Malediction also a great song to react to. They are a melodic deathcore band. Just warning, listening to the songs may have side effects like addictive headbanging

[@sagiren]

Some of my favorite BB songs are You, Believe, Give me a Sign, and Dark of You. Polyamorous if I'm in a mood.

[@Smithysmithin]

My favorite song of all time is Dance With the Devil by BB

[@aontaistealai]

"I have to put myself in the mindset of 11 years ago." Yes and no. I really think this song holds up. They also have an acoustic version, if you prefer that.

[@davehornby7530]

Bit late to this video (which is great by the way) but the verses remind me so much of a song called The Way You Like It by Adema. 2 boss songs though!

Down or Close Your Eyes should be next. Both are from their latest album "Eden," and both have a similar feel to them that pretty well show their progression through the different sounds they've had over the years. Both are solid choices.

Although the new acoustic album is pretty good I definitely wouldn’t suggest that as an intro to BB! Diary of Jane, So Cold, I Will Not Bow are all good places to start.

[@hugooliveira9765]

Evil angel is a pretty good song.

[@Tacomaguy458]

Ben Burnley is the realest songwriter out there. His lyrics are so deep and meaningful on top of the tuned down playing to compliment his voice. Most of their tunes are in drop C#

[@Ryl0o]

some other really good songs to listen to are, cold, follow me, blow me away, i will not bow, dance with the devil, evil angel

[@stevephelps6015]

They have recorded songs that other members are the lead singer

[@TroyWajda]

If you're truly interested in delving into their newer stuff which, imo is a heavier feel, go to their album Ember. That entire album is just superb. Dark before Dawn is great, but it has growing pains with it being their first album with their new line up. In Ember you can hear all of the bands expertise meshing and coming through, where D'b'D was Benjamin Burnley's material and the rest of the new band mates filled in.

[@wendydotson8891]

I respect your opinion but I totally disagree with you I think that their first 2 albums were much heavier than the newest 2. Don’t get me wrong I love every single breaking Benjamin song except for rain and ladybug but the first 2 albums are just amazing! (First 2 albums are saturate and we are not alone) one of my favorite bb songs is called “home” off saturate not many people who aren’t big bb fans have listened to saturate because it actually came out before we are not alone, which was their break out album with their first huge “so cold”
