BENJAMIN ORR LIVE 1997.. VIDEO CREDIT: LEO YORKELL THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME PERMISSION TO USE THIS FOOTAGE FROM YOUR INCREDIBLE VIDEO.. "I MISS YOU MY FRIEND"~~~ LEO YORKELL EDITED FROM MY TRIBUTE VIDEO.
He knows-or should know-that they are not there for a keyboard player. He could have stood still on stage and done absolutely nothing and I would have been in Heaven. Crushing on this guy and he has been gone almost 21 years. His birthday is coming up. Would have been 74-if my math is correct.
Oh, Ben you left too soon and left a big empty space in our hearts. Her lips and eyes sang to us beautiful songs that we will never forget. R.I.P Ben Orr🎸🎼🎶⭐💕😢
The beautiful man I remember! His voice gets inti the depth of my soul. That voice I will always remember till the end of time. My encounter with him one magical moment at the Metro I'll never ever forget. Benjamin4Ever! ,❤️🎸
Lo mismo pensaba al ver este video, solo 3 años más de vida, que pena más grande para un gran hombre , un gran talento , que nos dejó su gran música por siempre!!! Te extrañaremos siempre benjamin!!!😢😢
Oh my, Ben the chameleon, how he adapts to his surroundings. I love his down to earth look here with his tattoo and biker look. Any age any stage, just the ultimate rock star. Gorgeous.
Oh con esa voz , Benjamin no necesitaba nada mas . Su voz limpia , serena , equilibrada . No necesitaba hacer ningun esfuerzo al cantar o tocar el bajo, salia por si solo que talento ! Benjamin tenia un magnetismo increible . Tu voz por siempre eterna ❤
...having no keyboard player was a blessing in disguise. -probably the only full acoustic guitar version of Drive, we will ever witness. ...R.I.P. Ben -Thank You, Tracey L.
@@robbelliii Unfortunately, during the 90s, around the grunge era it was considered "uncool" to use synth or keyboards for rock bands, so many of the groups would drop them out of their live sets. God, i hated the grunge era.
Firebrand55 if you want a song to make you weep listen to “do you know what it feels like” that Ben wrote with John kalishes. It’s about ric and will just make your heart break for Ben.
they didn't even need music at all. Benjamin's voice is pure magic. I've said that before and the other word that is in my head when i hear his voice, is perfection!
In my version of Heaven, I will get to meet and thank all the wonderful people like Ben who enriched our lives so much in the short time they were here.
Definitely a good version of this song. RIP Ben, from one Cleveland boy to another. If there's a rock'n'roll heaven, well, you know they've got a helluva band...
22+ years you've been gone. Clearly God needed ya home, and we thru film and recordings have you here immortal. Thats little consultation to your thousand and thousands of fans, but more importantly,. The only child, the only son you have....your true legacy: Benjamin Orr Jr. Thats the most unjust part. We still have you, grew up and old with you.....and he was only a mere babe of FOUR. Tragedy in the worst way. Prayers for your namesake Benjamin Orr Jr.
I don't listen to this song on an everyday basis, my heart can't take it , it breaks a lil more with each passing day. He was so great he didn't even need the music.
*When one hears just even BENJAMIN ORR'S singing voice -- one can totally understand and/or can picture what a Wonderful Person BENJAMIN was ...its just so so very very sad to me (and I'm sure to a great very many people and his fans when they heard of his passing...) that such a lovely Human Being like BENJAMIN had to be 'taken away' so soon like that. I like to suppose that some of us 'put' here on earth are just meant to become Angels in Heaven just a little sooner than others -- that's the only way I can make sense of it all to tell ya the truth...I just feel I must believe that...if not -- I'd be so utterly forever heartbroken & unable to function at all for the times I've had to 'lose' someone I had loved so purely with all my heart...* *~May God Rest Your Soul In Peace Forever More Dear Benjamin Orr~*
W P I felt he already was an angel that graced Earth. How many people that ill, could perform in concert, 7 days before the body gave out? That is an incredibly feat, plus just his personality and talent. There was something very special, about him, In a life, lesson.
Almost 20 years ago... I grew up listening to this beautful man (and his crazy band members)... A brilliant talent taken away too soon. A timeless voice.
È davvero incredibile come per tanti co e me e voi che ancora ne parliamo con amore , aveva ed ha un fascino comuno ativo ed ancora forteme te vivo in noi! Drive l"asco.to quasi tutti i giorni e lo sento vivo perché ha un anima brande e potente, scusate non credo di esagerare ma di certo a Gesù piace tantissimo! Ciao bellissima creatura!
He was a ringer for Rutger Hauer ...! Like his long lost brother! Gorgeous guys both of them hope they're both in a better place now, I love them both x
Breaks my heart.💔😔🥺😭.its like I lost my soul mate or something 🥺🙏🔥🔥..i stare at RU-vid vids for hours just watching him arghhh i haven't felt this way for any other muso he's part of me always and he sends his affirmation through Cars songs on the radio and I always say "thankyou Ben" and feel like I'm singing with him again and again..🎙🎸I dreadfully miss him and now Ric of course🎙🎸.. the best band out of Boston no doubt! and not to mention Elliot Easton one of the greatest lead guitarists I've ever heard or seen 🎸..ok I'll also mention Greg Hawkes 🎹 and David Robinson 🥁 🙏🎸🎸🎸🥁🎙🎹
This man was truly great ~ I love his voice and everything about his guitar talent here. Clearly a great musician. I will always remember Bye Bye Love ~ his Cars classic song, all his, the bass was FANTASTIC in that song, and so were his incredible vocals...... dreamy ~~~~~
I love the bassline in Bye Bye Love(and before anyone comes as me with "Ric wrote everything all the songs wah!", even Ric said the guys came up with their own parts. Elliot came up with his guitar parts, Ben came up with his bass parts, etc.), it was melodic and still integrated really rightly with the drums. The bass also has a great tone. There's a video up which has his isolated bass and vocals for that song and it's pretty cool
He will always be beautiful to me, no matter what. Like Steve Clark from Def Leppard, I grieve for them both still and it makes my heart ache. Two who were always so special to me and who I loved without ever seeing them live. I realise that their deaths were completely different but the end result was the same. Taken from those who adored and loved them and still do. Miss you both Benjamin and Steve, my love to you always and gratitude for what you brought to my life in your beautiful music. Thank you, I will never get over the loss of you both.
Karen, your comment spoke to me, by the way it’s beautiful and I can identify. Gregg Allman from the ABB was the love if my life since I was sixteen. I’ve seen him in concert many times and even got to meet him once. The Cars and Ben also has a great impact on my life but sadly I never got to see them. They both brought me so much joy in my life musically. Love them both with a passion. Gregg had a harder life with addiction and such. But Ben gets me to my core and I’ll never get over him being gone. They will always be in my heart.
