    Ben’s an absolute beast, glad he’s getting some recognition! This intricacy & power he plays with Whitechapel is stellar, but also the more alternative-sounding stuff they’ve been releasing recently is awesome as well! Really well-rounded player!

    I'll never forget back at Whitechapels start Brandon and Ben would throw those guitars behind each other's backs and play each other's guitars. Sick memories from way back early 2000s here on Knoxville. I'm so proud of these guys and so thankful for the music. It's saved me from.some dark times in life

    Ben Savage is a very talented guitarist. I'd day he's one of the main songwriters in the band. He brings the melodic nature to the music, as well as the dark extreme metal side.
    The other two guitarists, bring the hardcore and groove to it, as well as the thrashier elements.
    Wonder why their music keeps changing and progressing?

    Ben saying he was inspired by ATDI and played one armed scissor surprised me lol. Its cool to see who inspired the guitarists or musicians you listen too or are a fan of. Even with The Mars Volta, Omar Rodriguez Lopez is such an underrated guitarist and has composed some amazing technical guitar riffs.

They were sick of being a hardcore band so they became a super beyond amazing, honestly legendary prog band, right in between Coheed & Cambria and Dream Theater. (ATDI is also Coheed's biggest influence lol).

      "Correctly" lmao dude. Yeah, it's the way Tony plays it, but honestly it's ridiculous to play it so high on the neck. He played an SG so he has ALL the neck room. Same with the "correct" way of playing Smoke on the Water. Idk why Ritchie Blackmore plays it the way he does, but it's honestly just silly.

      He’s not playing it right though. It’s in the right position on the neck if that what you mean but he’s hammering on the wrong notes in the intro and there is a partial G chord at the end of each pass of the verse riff that he’s not playing.
