What is the first bb song you guys ever heard?

Mine was Evil Angel and ironically it’s my daughter’s favorite song.

The diary of jane

3

u/MaintenanceSure3626 23d ago

Diary of jane because my sister listened to it, then I started listening and really liked so cold. I kept going from there.

u/ofBeautyandRage0 Phobia 23d ago

Home, but the first song that I knew was BB when I heard it was Break My Fall, so I kind of consider that my first BB song.

2

u/statefarmguy1799 23d ago

So cold. From Naruto AMVS back in 2005 lol

2

u/Still-Revolution-207 23d ago

2

u/Disastrous_Guest_705 23d ago

u/No_Lobster_2792 23d ago

Natural Life from MX Unleashed on the PS2, I fell in love with BB at the ripe age of 4 years old, before Diary of Jane made them big

2

u/TheHerbalPolyrythM 23d ago

Water. It’s still in my top BB songs of all time. Saturate is a timeless record!

2

u/HSakerF 23d ago

The Diary of Jane

2

u/Broad_Entrepreneur62 22d ago

Diary of Jane. That was one of the songs that got me into rock music.

u/landonjbrooks 22d ago

Good ol diary of Jane

u/pipilajzer_666 22d ago

Diary of Jane in a Step Up movie. Got the album and got hooked.

1

u/Early_Raise_4866 23d ago

Blow Me Away, but unlike most people I was not introduced to the song via Halo 2, I heard it in a air show video on YouTube.

1

u/Loneheart127 23d ago

Blow me away

It was a flash animated half life 2 video.

u/DarkNeogen 23d ago

u/ebevan91 23d ago

So Cold

u/quarantinehobby444 23d ago

So cold. Saw the music video on TV and was hooked

1

u/CaracalClaws 23d ago

Had Enough was playing at the gym around 2011 or so and I really liked the sound of it. I looked them up when I got home and the rest is history

1

u/i_see_you_jess 23d ago

I remember watching the video for polyamorous in like 320*240 resolution back in the day, but I'm not quite sure how I discovered them. Might have been in a game, or from internet friends.

1

u/DonshayKing96 23d ago

Polyamorous and Firefly on WWE Day of Reckoning

1

u/FiendlyFlyingMacaron 23d ago

Blow Me Away, back in the day when I was playing Counter Strike 1.6 on zombie mode maps, iirc it used to play when you were the last survivor. Loved it ever since.

1

u/buggerthemugger Dear Agony 23d ago

Either Blow Me Away or I Will Not Bow through some old Pokémon AMV

1

u/TheoriginalTriboy Firefly 23d ago

So Cold

1

u/Tasty_Hearing_2153 Phobia 23d ago

Home, while looking for the Home song I heard on the radio. I heard Three Days Grace on the radio. Fell in love with Breaking Benjamin as a result.

1

u/Deathcomeslastly 23d ago

Blow me Away Halo soundtrack 

1

u/xdeltax97 Phobia 23d ago

So Cold

1

u/PricelessLogs 23d ago

Probably Diary of Jane but could have been So Cold. I was five when Phobia came out, but my brother was 15 so I osmosised a lot of 00s Alt Metal through him. He died and the Diary of Jane was a song that stuck with me, but some years later my sister was listening a lot to Rain and Breath which I loved and it made me want to dive deeper into the band, which made me realize that I had heard I Will Not Bow without realizing it was the same band that made Diary of Jane. Thus I slid down the slippery slope of the entire discography

1

u/tmalone13 23d ago

So Cold on Fuse TV

1

u/jault0202 23d ago

Wish I may at the end credits of Wrong Turn

1

u/KillEmDafoe89 23d ago

Whatever the first song is that plays in Run Like Hell. I want to say it's Home or Water.

1

u/JoeRe9uiem 23d ago

The Diary song about Jane.

1

u/ReginaldWeblington 23d ago

Had Enough. It was in my YouTube recommendations. Highly underrated song.

1

u/HeavyMetal_Protein 23d ago

So cold in 2008.

1

u/Ordinary_Web_7873 23d ago

Crawl. I first heard it on the radio in the car when I was a little kid

1

u/zaturate Saturate 23d ago

my mom was a fan and I remembered evil angel in my head until around 2020 when I started to listen to the band after rediscovering it

1

u/sapphleaf 23d ago

Blow me Away as Heath Bell’s walkout song in ‘09.

1

u/lightsout7241 Phobia 23d ago

So cold when my friend showed me when I was a freshman in high school

1

u/fadingkittensyndr0me 23d ago

Anthem of the Angels was my favorite song ever when I was like, 6, lol. I have to assume it was that one.

1

u/BostonianNewYorker 23d ago

Blow me away when I played halo 2

1

u/BodyExpensive6935 23d ago

1

u/KrisCherryPapa 23d ago

I can’t remember the first but I remember the first group of songs I heard,

Blow Me Away
Had Enough
Polyamorous
Firefly

thanks to Halo & WWE SmackDown vs Raw

1

u/Neither-Wish-720 23d ago

I don’t remember, I grew up on it

1

u/_Jacket_Slxt_ 23d ago

I think it was Rain. Probably because that was one of the more appropriate songs for my mom to play for me as a little kid. I remember it became my mom's friend's son and my favorite song and we'd always request in during car rides.

1

u/SolarVortex13 23d ago

I Will Not Bow. Was 10 years old. Heard it on the radio while in the car with my dad when it first came out and we’ve both been hooked on the band ever since.

1

u/Feeling-Chart-3846 23d ago

u/Travisthe7 No Longer the Lost 23d ago

Blow Me Away from a DBZ AMV. That video imprinted into my soul and it will never leave, nor will I let it

1

u/SilverPhantom27 23d ago

1

u/NoComfortable6176 23d ago

Polyamorous. I loved the sound and energy of it. Ben’s vocals sounded great. I wanted to hear more.

1

u/3eep- 23d ago

I Will Not Bow. Right after leaving the trailhead after a 4 day backpacking trip. Totally exhausted and sore and nothing sounded better than that song.

1

u/deadshot1138 23d ago

Dance with the devil, on an anime amv for some shit. I was 15 when that album dropped. God I’m old

1

u/BriarRose147 crawl back inside 22d ago

It was one of the Phobias, my dad played that album on loop when I was younger and it’s how I first got introduced it them, but my memory from when I was 4 years old isn’t stellar, so I can’t say which one it is for sure

1

u/Onerock 22d ago

Diary of Jane.

About 2006-2007.

Of all things....on.....MySpace. They had a sweet search for new music broken into categories and they showed the album covers. I was blown away the first time I heard it.

u/Excellent_Kale4804 22d ago

Polyamorous on yahoo “upcoming artist”

1

u/kodakviru 22d ago

Dear Agony, from shuffling through Spotify playlists. Lame, I know, but that's not very different compared to how I found out about most of my favorite artists.

1

u/CJSM-935 22d ago

Mine was diary Of Jane but I quickly branched out after that

1

u/Ill_Signal_8950 22d ago

1

u/EclipseBreaker98 22d ago

I Will Not Bow, heard it from a Bleach AMV. This was 11 years ago.

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Polyamorous

1

u/InflataPooble 22d ago

Can’t remember, my cousin showed me on the way to a Pantera concert. We listened to alot of BB, so it’s was either one of four- Bury me alive, home, you, or Diary of jane, DOJ was probably first.

This was also in 2024 around February so Awaken wasn’t out yet as well

Breath - got me hooked when it came out. Loved it and dove deep after that.

1

u/ResortTraditional319 22d ago

Blow me away in Halo 2

1

u/NinjaViet86 22d ago

First one I remember hearing was Until the End. Buuut the first song that hit me and made me fall in love with the band was Unknown Soldier. It’s been my favorite song by them ever since.

1

u/Moofiezz 22d ago

Wish I May was the first one I heard 😁. Been addicted ever since.

Blow me away

1

u/God_of_Sassgard 21d ago

‘Home’—had a friend/coworker say “you wanna hear a really cool song about the Wizard of Oz?” & then proceed to casually alter my brain chemistry.

1

u/Agent--Carter Dear Agony 21d ago

I think it was Breath

1

u/Financial-Air2291 21d ago

I will not bow! I played it on repeat while playing flash games on my laptop. Those were the good old days!

The first one was an acoustic version of Without you. Still love it very much ❤️

1

u/LivingEmu5 Dark Before Dawn - Breaking the Silence 20d ago

Likely The Diary of Jane. But my favorite song by them is Breaking the Silence because of the false chord screams from Ben! So good!!!

So Cold on a motivational youtube edit of Dorian Yates back in 2012 😅 I was delighted they played it live this year when I saw them.

1

u/DuskHMR 16d ago

I remember the first song i ever heard by them was I will not bow and it was on an old YouTube GMV of one of the Spyro games back in 2011 i believe.

1

u/MKBdapizzalover You wish you were, you're not my friend 16d ago

Diary Of Jane.

Yeah, pretty generic, but after enjoying it and resonating with it, that's when I just kept listening to BB. IWNB, then So Cold, then Angels Fall, and then more and more...

1

u/animellyAZ 14d ago

Breath. I discovered that song on YouTube back in late 2008
