The Official BREAKING BENJAMIN Thread

[Andy92]

I think the first few lines were written by the moderator of the Facebook page, not Ben himself. Just given by where it says "Benjamin Burnley states" below that. But yeah, it does come across as a little ego driven.

[BastiMix]

Just found out that about a month ago their drummer also left to be full time with Black Label Society (who can blame him?). Now Ben Burnley is the sole remaining (and sole current) member of BB... I guess he finally got what he wanted and BB is now all about him and him alone.

[Dolo]

Hopefully he will be able to find new members and carry on with this project. Such an amazing band.

[Wylde 1919]

Chad has not left Breaking Benjamin, follow him on twitter and you will find that out. Zakk needed some one to fill in for Will Hunt, when he went back to work with Amy Lee. Zakk has always said when BB fires up again that Chad will be leaving BLS.

[Andy92]

Chad announced a few weeks ago he was leaving the band. It was like 2 days after Ben's announcement.

[Wylde 1919]

Well that will make Zakk happy, he's had revolving door of drummers since Craig left. Plus Chad has helped BLS get tighter live.

Chad is sick.

[Merinda]

Did anyone see the video on Facebook?!

[Dolo]

Yeah, that was only Burnley playing solo acoustic show.

[Merinda]

Yeah I know but it's good to see something from him.

[SHEAKENBAKEN]

I was wondering if we had this thread....Woo Breaking Benjamin!

Yeah I know but it's good to see something from him.

Whoop-Whoop!

Hey Ben, stop fooling around in bars and make me a new album! Lol

[Merinda]

[One Drew Remains]

I love Dear Agony. What an amazing record.

[austinjhnsn]

Phobia and Dear Agony are two of my favorite albums of all time.

[Merinda]

I agree with both of you.

I really love We Are Not Alone Saturate. Hell, I love all of those albums. All in my fave of all time. Know 'em like the back of my hand.

One of the best tracks off Dear Agony. Absolutely beautiful acoustically. Gotta find the tabs for this!

I forgive you, forget you, the end...

[austinjhnsn]

Probably one of my favorites.

[Mister Gold]

Which album would you guys recommend starting with first if I wanted to get into this band? I'm kinda familiar with a few BB songs, but I'm just a casual fan.

[Andy92]

I'd probably start with We Are Not Alone. I think all 4 of their albums are good, but Saturate (their debut) is the most raw sounding.

Their best of album, Shallow Bay, might be worth checking out too. It'll give you a broad overview of some of the band's more well known tracks.
