"Ben Invites Kids Onstage & Diary of Jane" Breaking Benjamin@State College, PA 1/17/18 

you can tell which one too, lol dude with the pattern on the back of his shirt. I wanna know where he is now 6 years later

Ben my name is Cole and I am a big fan

Seriously that’s a true fact right there.

What is truly inspiring is the fact that he is extremely sick, still performs live, is producing a new album, and recently suffered a lung infection. Enough said.

I hope that illness gets better, you can say he really loves doing music.

Whats he sick from?

@Paul N How is it any less special?? They're reaching out to their fans.....and the fans are reaching back...regardless of how the band goes about it, that's an awesome thing, those fans past and present, for whom they did this for, will remember it for the rest of their days.............nothing beats that.....

I agree with you

That’s so tragically ironic

Rowen Strife Glad you are here too. I've been in those dark places as well.

Gosh that gave me a good feeling

Rowen Strife Your post made me cry. I don't know you, but I am glad you're here, too.

Oh man...right in the feels. I’m glad ur here too man.

Cody Mativa They did that two years ago when I saw them with Disturbed, and they’re still doing it to this day. Tons of respect for Ben and the rest of the guys.

this show was really good. i was so happy to be there

Love them. One of my favorite bands.

Im sure this concert was awesome

What about widow's, kid with out father & destroyed home's. Would they also getting thanks. City being destroyed, pollution caused by fire power. Please do not forget to say thanks on you way out!

Ikr not even stupid pop and rap artists do this

Damn right

This isnt metal. This is rock.

@@vampirabby actually a lot of people do this

@@timklafke4712 not even, seen many pop artists these days don't

Felipe Bernardes it's honestly so great, i love it

Felipe Bernardes "we're a bit more responsible now

It changes you I can attest.

So lucky to have witnessed this in person... I am FINALLY going to a concert in September and im scare because I dnt think can get any better afterwards

@@stinjudom my sister and Mom is too. I'm going to starset and see Dustin Bates! We can talk to him! I'm Soo happy but I gotta wait September 30

I just saw them August 22nd at jiffy lube live and he did the same exact thing they were awesome

Lunar Phoenix seriously, he just gave those kids a memory for a lifetime. not something you see these days with most of the mainstream artists.

That was honestly heartwarming to me and shows how much they care for their fans. Love you B.B 👍🤟

right he's prob like this fuckin shit isn't happening right now this must be a dream. I shit myself if I was up there with them.

Yeah, well he helped lie to officials to steal my daughter then had me publically sexually assaulted.

@@blackdog1153 what the hell ??

Thepianist126 Yea

Thepianist126 This happened when they came to my town too. I saw a few people I knew from high school up there and I was like WTF!!

Memories for life

That’s what I thought when they did it around where I live

Bruh you have no idea how crazy I would be going if I was up there with them like that

Quickscope Kid I couldn't agree more

they truly are

The Republic Of Ireland yep.

David helped me with getting into rehab when I was younger

And Adam Gontier

EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS! And his scream is on point as well!

lyricsoboom he has struggled so much through sickness its awesome he still keeps on keeping on.

What happened to him?

Yoan VDS it was a it was a multitude from mental health all the way to a lung infection but he still played shows and recorded the best he could guy's a beast

Yeah, his voice is better, after his lung problems...

I'm not sure if the kids could really appreciate it if it was their first concert. After all this would be 100% of their experience so far and in a way 'normal' to them.

Chet McGovern fucking Billie joe Armstrong is the same as ben

@@MarcoGarcia-lg5tl ABOUT THAT, he screams for the dumbest reasons ever. Billie just screams FOR GETTING THEIR TIME CUT, so entitled when something he doesn't agree with happens... like people see it differently but they are completely different. Ben is that tit that people appreciate because he is grateful and is generally energetic and happy. Billie can put on a show WHAT HE CAN ALSO DO IS THROW A TANTRUM, something Benjamin has never done. So as you they are the same you are WRONG. Of course you'd want to reply in a hateful way, but if your going to reply EXPLAIN your logic and not just scream at me for crushing every thing you thought about Billie. Just explaining how they are different that is all, can't stress that enough.

My son's first concert was BB when he was 6. Ben came down and handed him a pick at the end. I thought my son was going to faint.

Callum Sinclair Billie Joe was completely fucking shitfaced at IHeartRadio 2012. It was his way of dealing with anxiety. Billie Joe doesn’t throw tantrums he was drunk as fuck and suffering mentally.

Marco Garcia if I’m not wrong, Billie was super fucked up, like, drunk, possibly high, and really not in a good place mentally and had to go to rehab after that show.

dezlittle25 man what an experience!

dezlittle25 congrats how long before he came down?

dezlittle25 You're raising him right! My favorite band!

They're all wearing black 😂

some people cant get a joke xD

I'm glad. hes a great musican

Mandy Vin That's a lie, and you know it. This particular performance is the best I've seen from them. Only a performance of Evil Angel from 2007 even comes close.

I believe he said some of his meds caused him to gain weight back in 2015

wuuut? Better still be your favorite, lol.

TrionBulldog always! haha!

Lynette Harris ikr! Idk why is there some haters still

Prob were trolls. RU-vid should erase the dislikes.

Haters are shit

There is always negative people so don't pay attention to them.

Josh Bowling I'm going to the Tulsa and Wichita shows, 2 in 9 days...I can not wait! saw them open for Metallica at 6pm with the sun out, it was still amazing.

Josh Bowling I'm so pumped to see them headline with 17 song performances instead of the 8 when they opened for Metallica, They had the majority of those in attendance, most were old school Metallica fanatics, joining the pits and by the end you couldn't tell they had never heard A7X before. Most of them I talked to thought they were an emo punk band.....their minds changed after their set that night

I was there, I thought the crowd in the general admission area was a bit weak

Manny Blackstar The bass player.

Aaron from OM&M ?

Frankiie Niightmare No, the bass player for BB. Aaron Bruch.

Iron Head-Ed Jasen Rauch was from Red.

Mandy Vin Maybe do some reading. Aaron has been married with 3 kids for about 20 years now.

I remember that I was there! Not on stage (I wish) Bullet for My Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold it was all worth it

Buddy Bong same. Love em till death

a vb right "just sing the God dann song"😂😂😂😂😂

Only thing Ben forgot ear muffs lol.

Mandy Vin ~ I was just joking bitch

Lucky !!!

Evilcrawfish I don't think they opened.. it was co headlined I think

Yes, BB opened for Avenged Sevenfold. 1 hour set BB, 2 hours Avenged set. They opened for Avenged,.

no offence to avenged sevenfold but I'd rather watch BB play. Love both of them but got the love for BB!

Larry Rodriguez If Avenged was still making nightmare albums they would be a far bigger band. Even still they are. I love breaking benjamin but Avenged Sevenfold is the ultimate band. Thier musicians are top notch like Syn Gates is literally one of the best guitar players ever

Aveneged sevenfold is a good band but not really my cup of tea. But Breaking Benjamin is incredible. i wish they came to California more often though.

Lynette Harris I love seeing the diversity in the fan base of great music

Omg me too!! I'm also a Slipknot fan, so how funny it sounds to say "I'm a 55yr old Maggot!" lmao Loud N Proud Maggot Too!! \m/

You selfish bastards!! Hahaha, 😲 Just kiddin n shit

Lynette Harris it's like when I go listen to jazz, lol

See Rock knows NO age!!! Loud N Proud!! \m/

deadlyarcher06 I saw them in Peoria same tour and I'll just say you're in for a treat

ouw, that's today!

deadlyarcher06 I’m going to see a7x prophets of rage and 3 days grace live in fair park in Dallas on September 1st

Yeah man hes lost some weight!

His sickness has been making him lose a ton of weight

He lost some weight

Yeah he lost a bit of the dad bod haha. Proud of him!

Yeah unfortunately ben has been super sick and they don't know whats wrong with him. He must have been having a good night that night, when he came to concert here you could tell he wasn't feeling his 100% but still put on a great concert.
