How many Breaking Benjamin fans on the board? I’ve been listening to them since high school and have always enjoyed their music. Anyone see them live?

I've always wanted to see them live.

Been a fan since 2004. 13 years old and throwing up in the middle of the night. Turned on MTV, and So Cold is playing. Then Duality by Slipknot.

Good times.

Saw them live when they opened for Fuel at the Chimes back around 2005.

Put on a good show. Not a huge fan, but enjoy their stuff.

They’re another one of those bands that became cool to hate but almost every body secretly jammed to back in the day (Nickelback, Limp Bizkit, Blink182, Hinder, Creed, Korn, Papa Roach).

I think they’re similar to Foo Fighters in that they have a proven radio ready formula and just write the same record over and over again with minor variations. BB is one of my very few “safe” bands where I know I can just turn on their discography and let it play without having to skip anything.

Saw them live back around 2007 and they not only sounded great, but brought a ton of energy and power to their show. Blew 3 Days Grace and Red off the stage.

Loved that band in the mid-late 2000’s but definitely grew out of that whole post-grunge genre in college.

The album they put out in 2018, Ember, to me is the best thing they've put out since the We Are Not Alone days.

I prefer Polyamorous to any song though.

I've seen them live enough to where I don't need to do it again, unless it was an acoustic show.

I used to love them but their formula became stale to me.

Still enjoy when anything Dear Agony and earlier comes on SiriusXM or shuffle though. Dear Agony and Saturate are my favorite albums of theirs.

I saw them open for Godsmack in 2003. They were heavily booed. Some of the worst vocals I've ever heard. Combine that with the bland, unoriginal music and I can't understand what anyone sees in this band.

Nostalgic because it reminds me of HS football

Today I have BB songs on my gym playlist

Never listened to them until a couple of minutes ago.

No offense, but to me they sound like a dozen other bands from that era.

Saw them in Biloxi a few years ago and thought they were excellent. Low key one of my favorite bands and most underrated ones around. Ben Burnley is a great singer too.

I Will Not Bow
Give Me a Sign (Most emotional song ever for me)
Diary of Jane
So Cold
Breath
Angel's Fall
Blow Me Away
Tourniquet
Never Again
Sooner or Later
Evil Angel
Crawl
Far Away
Torn in Two
Polyamorous
Red Cold River
Without You
Until the End
Ashes of Eden

They have so many damn bangers.
