Benjamin Burnley has a known fear of flying, the reason why the band does not go outside the U.S.

He's also afraid of the dark, heights, driving, and many more.

these are just the phobias that he has released to the public.

Ben credits mostly Nirvana, if you watch any interview about his influences he ALWAYS mentions Nirvana. Ben also credits bands like Korn and Tool as both personal influencers as well as being influential for the band.

Mark James Klepaski is married, and Chad Szeliga is in a relationship Well Ben Burnley (the lead singer) has a girlfriend supposidly they've been dating for 3 years now

Ben is cute; I wouldn't say hot. Don't shoot me.

No, He's not dead He's working on the fourth album right now.

Ben is not married. Though he does have a long term live-in girlfriend whose name I won't disclose. They are very much in love and have 3 cats. They have no plans right now to get married. Sorry ladies (and some dudes) Ben is not available.

If you listen to the song then it should be obvious that the song is truly about an unknown slodier. Left behind to die. wounded in battle. Sad really. Good song. Benjamin Burnley has massive talent.

EDIT: Actually Breaking Benjamin have said that this song is simply artistic since their goal is to make songs which are that exaclty: ART. So it's left to inetrpretation

Answer: They actually made the song 4 halo 3.

The cross swords represent military mightiness. If the cross swords pointing downward, it symbolizes resting. If the cross swords are pointing up, it symbolizes a time of war or conflict.

If you are reading tea leaves, crossed swords translate as "strategic action is require".

Yes, he does actually. He has chronic fatigue syndrome, and neurological problems due to years of heavy drinking. Which is why he has been sober for 3 years.

No, they haven't

not that big, its just a small town in Blackburn.

No official fan mail address is known at this time.

Lots of them! However, you likely mean "I Will Not Bow". Benjamin Burnley opens with screaming the word "fall".

I take it as one who is under a lot of pressure, but is going to let nothing bring him/her down.

'All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away'

Trying to show those who put others down that they can survive.
In the song he is singing about how he has given up on the world as it has become evil and corrupted. He doesn't think there is any way to change this, and has given up on trying to change it. Even so he will not give into it, and would rather just be his own person, and shut the world away...

Breaking benjamin haven't actually released a new song in a while, but there newest songs in terms of production are all on the album "dear agony". In terms of release, however, there are 3 previously unreleased songs on the compilation DVD, "shallow bay". These songs are "better days", "lie to me" and "ladybug".

Breaking Benjamin was formed in 1998 by vocalist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel.

Yep! Check out the song "forever" on the saturate album :)

They have been working on the new album for several months now. I was on their website and i listened to a couple interviews....they said that it should be released sometime this summer. But remember, it was SUPPOSED to come out last year in september, god knows theyll change the date again.

The Album Dear Agony is coming out in stores September 29.

Breaking Benjamin is not an unchristian band, however, they don't necessarily sing about God. A Christian band is classified as someone who sings for God. However, some, if not all of the members are indeed Christian.

Just because a band uses a curse word (in this case, f*ck) DOESN'T automatically mean they aren't Christian.

P.S. damn, hell, and bastard do not count as profanity.

he has a four leaf clover on his (right middle finger) i believe and on his left he has an optomis prime tattoo on his left middle finger. he also has the breaking Benjamin sign the one with the four b's on his rist i don't know of any others ;)

There are a few songs with an occasional use of a profane word, but they are few and far between. Ben is able to convey his message without having to resort to profanity to leave an impression on his listeners.

Formed in 1998 by vocalist Benjamin Burnley and drummer Jeremy Hummel, Breaking Benjamin quickly garnered a strong local following in their home state of Pennsylvania. The band derived their name from an incident when Burnley was covering a Nirvana song during an open mic night at a club. He kicked the microphone stand over, breaking it. The person who owned the microphone came on stage and said, "I'd like to thank Benjamin for breaking my *crazy* microphone." In 1999 the band changed its name shortly to Plan 9 then in late 2001, after various line-up changes, the band changed its name back to "Breaking Benjamin" and two friends of Burnley, Aaron Fink and Mark Klepaski, left their previous band, Lifer, and joined the ranks of Breaking Benjamin as guitarist and bassist, respectively. According to the band, the Breaking Benjamin logo is a variation of the Celtic knot, with four interlocking "B"s. The logo is tattooed on the left wrist of Ben Burnley, Aaron Fink, and Mark James Klepaski, and the right wrist of Chad Szeliga. The band is currently signed to Hollywood records on a five record deal, having released three so far. They achieved their first number 1 single in 2007 with the track "Breath" off their third album Phobia.
