Breaking Benjamin Frontman Fires Members Via Email, Lawsuits Ensue
Breaking Benjamin are apparently down two members as frontman Benjamin Burnley has fired guitarist Aaron Fincke and bassist Mark Klepaski via email. The dispute looks to have originated as a result of Fincke and Klepaski working on a remix of the bands track “Blow Me Away” without his consent. The two were allegedly compensated for the track, which will appear on the bands forthcoming ‘best of’ compilation, “Shallow Bay: The Best Of Breaking Benjamin“, with Burnley having no knowledge of the matter.
The greatest hits set is slated for an August 16th release date through Hollywood, while you can read a detailed report on all the legal wrangling now going on with the band at Citizensvoice.com.

Essentially, I understand Ben to be a dictator. Sounds like (due to past issues) he has a control problem. However, I’d be pissed if they remixed a song without my knowledge, getting paid.
It’s kind of weird that people even give a fuck.
oh you made our best of worth buying? you’re fired.
Well there goes my fall.
Meh, whatever. They’ve essentially recorded the same album three times in a row by now. Maybe these dudes can give Alex Lifeson a call and get Lifer going again.
Now if only Nicklesack and black veil brides can disband.
MRcensored: you beat me to the Lifer comment, but Alex Lifeson only produced their album, so how would it be Lifer without former singer Nick Coyle???
Lifer has been going since 2010 again. And I think Lifeson is happy being in Rush Vs a Nu Metal band.
I know Lifeson was never a member, just felt like name-dropping.
Breaking Benjamin has a “greatest hits” album? Give me a fucking break. BrokeNCYDE’s Greatest Hits, out next month.
I completely forgot about these guys.
first off, these guys always sucked donkey balls.
and secondly, what a fag. “you guys made money without me. noooo! waaaah! you’re all fired” fucking pussy.
“Shallow Bay” huh? That could mean that their lyrical and music content is shallow. It could mean that their catalogue is so shallow that it was nearly impossible to find enough content to fill a “best of” album. Based on this particular situation, shallow could very well be describing the general demeanor of the vocalist. It really makes you think, ya know? That my friends is the mark of a great album title.

shut the fuck up bro, Shallow Bay is just a title of a song from their first album. their only album worth listening to from start to finish.
I wouldn’t know because I don’t shovel feces into my eardrums, bro. Breaking Benjamin sucks, Limp Bizkit sucks, my dad can beat up your dad.
I dunno, his dad is pure German.
lifer makes even the 3rd strike, shovel and grade 8 fan in me lol.
sorry adam, my dad is russian. sorry HonoluluBlueBalls, you’re misinformed bro, limp bizkit doesn’t suck.
Russian, you say? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkUUpbDCxNc
yes russians can’t behave
haha, what would Putin say if he knew his children were listening to this crap?
I don’t know, Angela Merkel would fuck Putin up. But Russia loves the bizkit as well, so that’s not gonna happen.
I did it all for the Kremlin! WHAT? The Kremlin! WHAT? So you can take democracy, and stick it up you ass!
