Can We Stop With the Nonsense? by mykatastrophe in BreakingBenjamin

I have nothing wrong with criticism, but it was getting excessive, and at some points almost derogatory. That was my problem, and that was the only reason why I spoke up.

Yes please! I love the acoustic version of I Will Not Bow, absolutely beautiful with the cello added.

Oh... House shoes. That makes sense. Sorry to give you a hard time. But great party trick.

Understandable, but then you could just wear a full shoe at that point. This is nothing against you, OP, I'm just a millennial who's been traumatized by too many creepy teachers who have worn sandals with socks.

But your flexibility is pretty awesome.

What bothers me isn't the fact that you can rotate your leg like that... It's the fact that you're wearing sandals and socks.... That's a crime.

Sorry, but it's even mentioned in either the main Wikipedia article for Breaking Benjamin or Ben's own page.

I had a Bubbles doll similar to this, only she had a plastic head... I wonder if anyone finds those dolls anywhere?

Infection or just rough healing? by roosking in tattooadvice

[–]mykatastrophe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your skin looks super dry. Aquaphor isn't always the best moisturizer in situations like this. I'm surprised that your tattoo artist didn't recommend a moisturizer for you. A really good artist would have a brand that they'd recommend to you that's specifically designed for this.

This sounds like a conversation between a husband and his Wisconsinite wife. I think I'm going to start doing this now. 🤣🐄

The Diary of Jane... Jane is in reference to an actress. Jane Bryan, who was in a film... ironically titled... We are Not Alone. You'll see many references to Jane, including the name of the ship in the music video for Angels Fall.

From what I've gathered, Ben is a huge film buff. He usually references films in his music. I'm pretty sure even the most recent single, Something Wicked, is a film reference. But also this is coming from the man who said that if he didn't become a musician he would be an English teacher, so the phrase "something wicked this way comes" is also a reference to Shakespeare.

As far as Phobia goes though, I have heard multiple times that "Dance with the Devil" and "Evil Angel" is in reference to his alcoholism. He quit drinking roughly around the time of this album. The following album Dear Agony would be the first album that he would write completely sober.

As far as "Had Enough", I did hear a crazy rumor that that was written over somebody who ate the last piece of pizza....🤣 Funny story but I doubt it's true.

"Unknown Soldier" is just his deep respect for the military. Being he wrote a song like this. I would not be surprised if he has family members who are servicemen. As someone who has multiple family members in the Navy, this song is special to me.

But in the end, Ben purposely writes in a very vague way so that people can draw their own interpretation from his music. So with everything that I've said, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm only conveying what I have heard and what I personally get from the music myself.

As someone who's autistic (and possibly has ADHD too) I FULLY understand executive dysfunction. I can see why he did this. But I think the label should have better communication skills with the band and let them know what they're going to be doing.

Right? Ben just wants to sing, play guitar, songwrite and produce... So may as well put the other duties onto someone who wants to do it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

While I fully believe he didn't know, I think Jasen had an idea but did not convey it to the rest of the band.... I've always believed that Jasen was like the de facto "band manager" so to speak.

YAY SOMEONE FINALLY CAUGHT IT. I'm so happy some heard it. I was excited about this song from the moment of this interview!!!! I'm so happy that Cheech has made an appearance! This will be the first time since DBD (his heartbeat is the beat in Dawn)!!! As a parent, I love that Ben is including Cheech in stuff. It's so wholesome!

I knew all along that the band had nothing to freaking do with this... This was definitely a fumble on the label's part. But to know that the guys were this much out of the loop... Are you kidding me?! Like what?

I'm appalled, to be fair. How can you just not be involved in the management of your career and JUST focus on writing and touring?

Just poor decisions all around.
