You know...I need to say something to the ungrateful jealous population out there. This visit was a surprise to all involved. This visit was unannounced to these folks. I met him at work, through a family member of his. He was there to play for sick and or dying young patients. My son had just started getting into BB because of a band he started playing in. Ben was grateful enough to offer to go to the house a pay a short visit to these kids on a school night while they were having dinner. Ben wanted it to be a surprise to them. He is a super sweet, outgoing individual that to be a man of his popularity and stature. He was playing that guitar, because it was the one he picked out of about 10 we have. It had thicker strings and was easier to downtune for his songs. He only spent about 15 minutes with these impressionable young men. They will be forever grateful for this visit. I am happy they got to see someone of that caliber, that was down to earth, not stuck up, and willing to spend a few minutes with a bunch of nobodys. Maybe those with negative comments should learn a lesson from someone they hold so dear. Glad Benjamin Burnley was not like you.
Don't pay the slightest attention to those hateful, insensitive and frustrated people. They truly need to learn a couple of lessons from Ben. I truly enjoyed your video and I'm grateful for your upload, as it showed that Ben is the really down to earth and kind guy I always thought he was since I started listening to his band. He strikes me as a guy who truly loves working hard to make great music and loves his fans. A real honest guy and musician. There are not many like him around, his way of doing things is inspiring. Thanks again for your vid, and lucky you for having the chance to meet him!
Forte Loud and Proud I am one of those hateful people you speak of but had it been stated that Ben did this out the goodness of his heart then I would have looked at this video a bit differently. and I do apologize for that. Thanks for posting this video.
Forte Loud and Proud I can only wish I was in BB! :) when I said 'got into' I meant the time I started getting into BB, a.k.a. listening and learning more about their music. Hope someday I get the chance to know the man behind it! Thanks again for the vid!
Wow, Ben is a great person. This video puts a smile on my face. I actually got to play Xbox with him a few years back due to my coworker knowing him. Very lucky to have met him in person on a personal basis. Thanks for sharing this video.
I’d kick his butt on some cod 🤣 I mean I’ve played with FaZe members back in MW2/BO2 days. They were no where near as famous as Ben here... and some how those dudes were always stuck up ass holes. Sooooo idk I’m proud to have found this band years ago. Benjamin has consistently shown so much love for the fans of his and pretty much anyone! Amazing! I wish I could play and keep a consistent vocal fry while singing like him. I have been always fascinated with replicating someone’s sound from multiple genres to no end but his voice is absolutely unique! So it’s for sure hard.
Travis Baker Right?? And who knew that Benjamin was a fan of Disturbed?? He knows Korn!! He just need to publicly say Slipknot somewhere, and I will know for sure that he knows 3 of my favorite metal bands
I am the person in the video that walks down the stairs at 00:19, and i have to say that at the time, I wasn't really deep into his music and barely knew any of his songs, just a few of his hits. Ever since that visit, I have become attached to his music. He is now one of my favorite artists and people in the music industry. It was so generous of him to come over and jam and to meet him, i just wish i knew him then as much as i know him now. Plus, never miss him when he comes around, because he puts on one hell of a show!
@@dianapaterson4368 It's Diary of Jane, a bit difficult to recognize because he's playing it in a different key, and he only sung the harmony at the end of the chorus.
You know what... I am so happy that Ben had this opportunity to connect with young people this way, as much as I am happy for the people that got to experience Ben playing in front of them. Ben is a fragile and nuanced yet immensely talented artist with a well documented history of his own struggle with illness. His fear of flying, for example, has prevented his bands (in all iterations) from really expanding his music globally the way other bands have, and has lead to a lot of band struggles, leading then to turnover within the band. Ben needs these young people as much as they need him. You can clearly see that Ben is very comfortable in a place where he could easily be overwhelmed by the strangeness of it all. I can see that this time was therapeutic for Ben, and if anyone else watching this can't see (or refuses to see) that this time was equally beneficial for everyone, they are choosing to not know more about who Ben Burnley is and has become through the process of creating music.
It seems like Ben is truly a good person for visiting this family. I could only dream of the dude coming to my home and being able to talk or jam with him. I don't want to sound like an ass but he was probably tuning the guitar so he didn't have to make conversation with the weirdos in the basement that didn't know any of his material.
MXN Polyamorous Agreed lol MXN you're probably one of the coolest dudes on RUclips and an awesome fan. I have been subbed for a good time now lol, keep posting videos and I'll watch them man cx
2 Questions for you: 1. What the hell is Ben Burnley doing in your basement? 2. How the fuck do you not know any of Breaking Benjamin's songs? If Ben Burnley came to my house it would be for tutorials and a jam session and MAYBE an autograph, that's it.
Amanda Bosworth It's really sad that the majority of this video is Ben tuning a piece of shit Yamaha guitar... this video was very painful to watch and I felt bad for Ben being in a house with a bunch of kids who don't even know who the fuck Breaking Benjamin is!
followfornothing I recommend you need to read the top comment. Perhaps you should not be so ignorant, and jealousy will get you nowhere either. People like you stand out a mile.
That's right, just keep calling people names, you'll get really far in life doing that. The kids were filming this, and it's their video. Give them a break, it's their experience, not yours. They were clearly in awe at the fact Ben was at their house, and as the comment at the top says, they didn't even know Ben was going to be at their house. I bet any footage of Ben in their own house was good footage. By you trying to retract from that you are coming across as pretty selfish. When they were filming this they clearly weren't thinking "oh dear, this is rubbish footage that other people won't like."
ddrumdude Get over yourself man, I made my apology known to the poster of this video in the first comment and had I _known_ that it was for a "Good Cause" and that Ben went out of his way to do this out of the "kindness of his heart" then I wouldn't have been so critical with my comment, I am pretty sure a lot of people who posted the same way that I have here would either say or feel the exact same because it wasn't posted that this was for charity, I have no reason to apologize to you because you are coming off like a troll to me and honestly I don't like your attitude either P.S. I am pretty sure someone will +1 your comment because that was all you wanted when you replied to my original comment was some attention. ;) Pretty sad.
its Ben Burnley, why are you all standing around and not asking more questions, why is no one on the drum kit having a jam session. and then when he is playing stuff, instead of listening and learning, you guys are talking amongst yourselves. Pay attention, the man is a genius song writer.
Or maybe they were just young men who were a little star struck? No one knows how they would act when someone like Ben randomly shows up their basement. Especially as a kid. The negativity in this comment thread astounds me. Smh.
These kids were obviously intimidated and maybe star struck by Ben's presence. Plus, they were probably just being born when Polyamorous came out so they don't realize how big BnB really was.
"yeah ive heard it" faceplam. At least the kids into it. You can see him standing there with a smile just watching ben. So even if he didnt know alot of bb he got to hear it first hand from ben for the first time. Thats pretty cool.
Thanks man I've read alot of mean comments on here and am much more of a fan of him and his band now he is a super nice down to earth guy and even though I only knew a few of their songs at the time I'm a big fan now and see them every chance I get. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have met him. Still play too.
that is amazing that he did that! My all tine favorite band doing something so down to earth. guaranteed these kids will never forget this day and will be nore passionate about music than most
Holy shit. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. He always seems so cool on stage...he has got to be the nicest rocker in the world. AND WHY DID YOU NOT ASK HIM TO PLAY A SONG!!??
Holy shit I am jealous, they have been my favorite band since I was 10 years old and I am from California so I've never even been able to see them live yet.....hopefully soon!!
God if this ever happened to me i wouldn't be able to sing the songs because of how in shock and excited I am. I know each song he was playing but I just wouldn't be able to say what they were because he's RIGHT THERE IN MY HOUSE!! BB forever dude.
Hey Guys, just letting you know we have a group on FB facebook.com/groups/2204517060/?fref=nf come hang if you like. We're pretty active. One of our members found your video and shared it on the page. Your going to get a few hits I would wager ;) Thanks so much for posting it. Can't honestly say I'm not completely jealous. How amazingly humble and kindhearted he and his wife are. Thats why we are Benheads even after all these years. Anyhow, Thanks from Sweden! ps. that american flag on the wall is very cool. Is it hand made? (I'm American and seriously want to make one for my office. ;) )
Thank you. It was a very exciting time for the rest of my family. I didn't get to partake in this video, I was stuck at work which was where I got to meet and talk to him. I am a nurse and cannot just take off and leave my patients. He and his family are way beyond awesome. Such down to earth people for the status they have. The flag on the wall is pretty old. It was made by my Great Aunt who passed away about 13 years ago. She was a fabulous person. Thanks for sharing the video.
Was a Ben fan before but now I'm really a fan. Great stuff guys, you lucky bastards! "Was Ben Burnley just in my house?" I hope you learned how to play some of his stuff a year later.
After hearing him play and sing a Lil bit of chevelles "red" I think they should tour together and have Ben as a guest singer for that song!!! Anybody else agree?!?
“How many months pregnant are you?” Bro you serious?! Ben Fucking Burnley is literally giving you a private jam session!!! My hair could be on fire with a shark eating my foot….nothing would pull me away from this.
You use your other fingers to mute the rest of the strings (like how you lay them over the strings to make the chicka-chicka sound) that way you can strum and you only hear the octave notes.
I'd seriously be asking him and Rhiannon so many questions, hugging them, jumping up and down, probably faint from excitement . I know this was a surprise, but damn you have Benjamin burnley in your presence, act like it.
Valerie Marie or maybe they were just star struck young men? No one knows how they would act as a kid when Someone of Ben’s caliber shows up in their basement. They’re just kids....be happy for them and give them a break.
He’s just a person like everyone else. Yes he may be kind and generous. But let’s not go overboard with the accolades. It’s not like he cured cancer or is the second coming.
Whats so cool about this? He's talking about the band getting new guys in, mentioned Keith and Jasen, of course we're not to know officially that the band is coming back as a new band. Awesome :-)
This is why I love Ben, he seems really down to earth and genuinely loves his fans. And he was playing for sick and dying children? Shows a lot about his character.
I've been a fan since I can remember, and I have spent most of my life listening to this band. I have always wondered what lies beneath the cameras. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.
Thats so Sweet To see how excited they are. This would make my life, lol. Just to watch him play all the songs Ive been listening to for the last 10 plus years
If I were you, I'd send Ben, Rhiannon &Nikki the names & nasty comments made on here. Believe it or not the girls do there best to keep track of the naysayers. After that I'd remove the fools who only bring negativity wherever they go. Good luck & God bless!
This is awesome for these kids to see this. This is a real important part of playing, i have seen so many young bands that don't tune their instruments, its the most important first step, and continues to be all through your years and all levels of playing. What an awesome surprise for you guys!
lucky bastard XD joke I am so jealous, I live in Germany and I am not old enough and don't have enough money to visit Benjamin. I would die to see him. My life will be complete, no joke.
How old are you ?? I'm sorry I just love this band as much of the rest of the people on here do but if you a teen I would love to email you I could talk to you about them for hours XD
What a great video...shows you what a real musician should be like. Just a straight up dude. Definitely the reason I purchased his signature guitar from esp
He must love drop A# because when you see them live he plays a lot of the concert in C and C#. Only using A# for the last 3rd of the set. I hope the new album is all in A#. I bought a baritone just to play BB songs. He could have left that guitar in C and had a lot to play for them.
Unsmile I play Drop C on 10s and it's fine. But I cant go lower than Drop B. Also, Ben doesn't tune to Drop B. But Drop A#, C and C# is the tunings of all their songs.
OMAIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMAIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST HUMAN IN THE WORLD!!!!! BEN FUCKING BURNLEY VISITED YOU AT YOUR OWN HOME!!!! AND TOUCHED YOUR AMP!!!!!!!!!!
Im like totally fucking smiling this whole time watching n listening literally feeling this kids energy because hes literally just a normal person like anyone else...no one every takes time to just shoot the shit and jam out ..super awesome my dude.💜💚💜💚
Keith was also the lead singer and rhythm guitar player for Knoxville, TN based band Copper, Ben. Get you facts straight hahaha. (I know Adelita's Way is much more famous, but I'm from Knoxville so I saw Keith's band about once a month haha)

....you just casually had Benjamin Burnley in your house...playing your guitar....
Can he come into my house and play my guitar and tune it im so jealous
Mayby he could sighn my a quiet mustang bullet
It hurts to see other people living your dreams
Mind. Blown.
Wow, Ben is a great person. This video puts a smile on my face. I actually got to play Xbox with him a few years back due to my coworker knowing him. Very lucky to have met him in person on a personal basis. Thanks for sharing this video.
Pepe Silvia he’s really the best, I’m glad you got to play with him, I hope I will one day too :)

Lol, he said, "You ever hear of a band called Korn?". So polite.
Israel Failin Lol what fool hasn't heard Korn!
Junior Owens not me
breaking Benjamin fan girl 2087 White the hell?
No he said "you ever hear the song blind by Korn"
@
Sadegh Naseri
NO! DUMBASS! At 3:58 he asks if he ever heard of a Band Called Korn, dumbass!
*starts playing diary of jane* "you know that song?" ummm yes it plays on the radio 10 times a day ahah
I would faint if this happened. He would be picking me up off the floor and taking me to the emergency room. Haha
Me too!
Zoe Mitchell I'd be totally crying! I swear!
**que the start of the Give Me a Sign music video**
Faint is a song off linkin park good cause
I love how Ben asks if the kid had heard of all those bands. It showed that he is as much of a fan of the music as the people listening
Travis Baker Right?? And who knew that Benjamin was a fan of Disturbed?? He knows Korn!! He just need to publicly say Slipknot somewhere, and I will know for sure that he knows 3 of my favorite metal bands
And then when he played The Red by Chevelle!! 🤘🏽👌🏽
Ben and Chevelle have to do a song together he sings the red so fucking good
Ok. That would be awesome!
I know im EXTREMELY late but LORD PROTECT BEN AT ALL COST!! 🥹 such a beautiful SWEET MAN!!

are these guys in the video family or something?
My aunt and twin cousins are they, but don't know the rest of them.
This was awesome! Do you still do music?
Can you help me out do you know what the song is that Ben is singing at around 7:52 in the video 📹
@@dianapaterson4368 It's Diary of Jane, a bit difficult to recognize because he's playing it in a different key, and he only sung the harmony at the end of the chorus.
I'm sorry but Ben Burnley playing Chevelle is such a moment.
I love that his wife is there too & has Benjamin Burnley V in her belly ♡♡♡
You gotta know the songs. Ben is one best modern singer and song writer of this era.
absolutely
That's the coolest thing ever. I would literally drop dead if someone famous from a band i liked was in my house.
You know what... I am so happy that Ben had this opportunity to connect with young people this way, as much as I am happy for the people that got to experience Ben playing in front of them. Ben is a fragile and nuanced yet immensely talented artist with a well documented history of his own struggle with illness.

Hey? XD
Do you two want me to leave the room or?...
dude ive gone to your channel to listen to Breaking Benjamin for the longest time! cool to see you here
NobleSavan Thanks, just kinda browsing around RUclips. This is what I do when I'm not uploading videos.
MXN Polyamorous Agreed lol MXN you're probably one of the coolest dudes on RUclips and an awesome fan. I have been subbed for a good time now lol, keep posting videos and I'll watch them man cx
Ben is truly my idol. Selfless dude. That's awesome he spent time with you guys. Class act! Lyrical genius!!!

1. What the hell is Ben Burnley doing in your basement?
2. How the fuck do you not know any of Breaking Benjamin's songs?
If Ben Burnley came to my house it would be for tutorials and a jam session and MAYBE an autograph, that's it.
Exactly!!!!!!

You, sir took the words right out of my mouth.
Or maybe they were just young men who were a little star struck? No one knows how they would act when someone like Ben randomly shows up their basement. Especially as a kid. The negativity in this comment thread astounds me. Smh.
These kids were obviously intimidated and maybe star struck by Ben's presence. Plus, they were probably just being born when Polyamorous came out so they don't realize how big BnB really was.
Because playing drums and talking to a guitarist while they're tuning is fucking annoying and disrespectful .
That is my dream, a guitar lesson from the man himself. Ben fucking Burnley.
never seen this level of tuning xD
OMG HE PLAYED CHEVELLE MY OTHER FAVORITE BAND!
chadsta05 It was lit when they played right before Breaking Benjamin and right after Three Days Grace
Awesome, Ben: you ever hear of a band called Korn? Haha badass
"yeah ive heard it" faceplam. At least the kids into it. You can see him standing there with a smile just watching ben. So even if he didnt know alot of bb he got to hear it first hand from ben for the first time. Thats pretty cool.

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have met him. Still play too.
real title should be "ben burnley tunes for five fucking minutes straight in my living room"
Extra nice of him to tune the guitar to 3 different tunings
that is amazing that he did that! My all tine favorite band doing something so down to earth. guaranteed these kids will never forget this day and will be nore passionate about music than most
I cannot believe how fuckin REAL Ben is..why is he chilling with these random boring ass people. Im for real jealous.
Honey... build me a basement... I NEED TO HAVE BEN OVER!!!
Holy shit. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen.
He always seems so cool on stage...he has got to be the nicest rocker in the world.
AND WHY DID YOU NOT ASK HIM TO PLAY A SONG!!??
Yet another reason to love Ben! I am praying for healing for this super sweet guy!
Holy shit I am jealous, they have been my favorite band since I was 10 years old and I am from California so I've never even been able to see them live yet.....hopefully soon!!
I'd never play that guitar again....so jealous Ben is my idol
God if this ever happened to me i wouldn't be able to sing the songs because of how in shock and excited I am. I know each song he was playing but I just wouldn't be able to say what they were because he's RIGHT THERE IN MY HOUSE!! BB forever dude.
This has to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Hey man do u mind of u could tell me a few things about him plz? I've always wanted to meat him!!!!! Why was he at ur house??? Thank u for ur time
omfg Ben is amazing
This is probably the coolest Ben Burnley video ever.
Was a Ben fan before but now I'm really a fan. Great stuff guys, you lucky bastards! "Was Ben Burnley just in my house?" I hope you learned how to play some of his stuff a year later.
Ben is such a good fucking guy!
he isnt good HE IS AMAZING
Yet just another reason to ADORE Ben!!!
You lucky bastards. Why are you all not embracing this?!
After hearing him play and sing a Lil bit of chevelles "red" I think they should tour together and have Ben as a guest singer for that song!!! Anybody else agree?!?
muzikgod88 they have toured together havent they? Im pretty sure they have
They have toured together.
They are touring together this summer! 😁
Your request is being honored this year?
This man predicted the future
BEST Band Ever :) ♡U guys... congrats on baby Ben!!! Forever a fan..... ur music is a part of me.
“How many months pregnant are you?”
Bro you serious?! Ben Fucking Burnley is literally giving you a private jam session!!!
My hair could be on fire with a shark eating my foot….nothing would pull me away from this.
I think this was when Breaking Benjamin were on hiatus🤔
No he talks about the band being reformed with 3 guitarists.
7:21 how does ben play the octave so clean without making the guitar sounding messy?
You use your other fingers to mute the rest of the strings (like how you lay them over the strings to make the chicka-chicka sound) that way you can strum and you only hear the octave notes.
You mute the 5th note, (middle note of a three string power chord), etc.
Most people only hit the thicker strings + the higher octave string.
I feel like ben is like a Keanu Reeves of music
I'm late to the party but so glad I got to see this video. It's good to know that my favorite music artist does things like this. Such a stand up guy.
"Give him the B.C. Rich or this Dean..."
Uh, no dude. The Pacifica is just fine lol.
how the fuck did you swing this!?
I'd be dead. I'd be dead I'd be dead I'd be dead 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He brought me up onstage in my wheelchair during this same time period. 🥰
I'd seriously be asking him and Rhiannon so many questions, hugging them, jumping up and down, probably faint from excitement . I know this was a surprise, but damn you have Benjamin burnley in your presence, act like it.
Valerie Marie or maybe they were just star struck young men? No one knows how they would act as a kid when Someone of Ben’s caliber shows up in their basement. They’re just kids....be happy for them and give them a break.
He’s just a person like everyone else. Yes he may be kind and generous. But let’s not go overboard with the accolades. It’s not like he cured cancer or is the second coming.
This is awesome! How lucky! I just met him last weekend and he is such a sweet guy! Just amazing!!!
Ben is beyond great with fans
He seems like a really nice guy
how can you...I'm speechless. Ben Burnley is in your basement!! and you don't know a single song, sad. sad. sad.
My idol making jokes with a family and playing guitar is just so awesome!!!!
Whats so cool about this? He's talking about the band getting new guys in, mentioned Keith and Jasen, of course we're not to know officially that the band is coming back as a new band.
Awesome :-)
He is so large he makes the guitar looks so small
i think bens fav song is so cold.. because i also play that riff on my guitar...which he played after tuning.... :D
This is why I love Ben, he seems really down to earth and genuinely loves his fans. And he was playing for sick and dying children? Shows a lot about his character.
You forget how tall he is until someone stands next to him.
I've been a fan since I can remember, and I have spent most of my life listening to this band. I have always wondered what lies beneath the cameras. Thank you for sharing this amazing footage.
Haha get it "what lies beneath"
started listening when I was 11 or so. Now I'm 24, still listen to em. Ben is great
Thats so Sweet To see how excited they are. This would make my life, lol. Just to watch him play all the songs Ive been listening to for the last 10 plus years
Guitar: How distorted do you want me
*Ben and every 2000s band: YES*
If I were you, I'd send Ben, Rhiannon &Nikki the names & nasty comments made on here. Believe it or not the girls do there best to keep track of the naysayers. After that I'd remove the fools who only bring negativity wherever they go. Good luck & God bless!
This is awesome for these kids to see this. This is a real important part of playing, i have seen so many young bands that don't tune their instruments, its the most important first step, and continues to be all through your years and all levels of playing. What an awesome surprise for you guys!
Ben is such a class act
lucky bastard XD joke
I am so jealous, I live in Germany and I am not old enough and don't have enough money to visit Benjamin. I would die to see him. My life will be complete, no joke.
How old are you ?? I'm sorry I just love this band as much of the rest of the people on here do but if you a teen I would love to email you I could talk to you about them for hours XD
+rachel krats me too i could go at it all night
10:57 IS THAT KORN - BLIND?
Feres Ridha Ben Nasrallah It was holy fuck
This is amazing! I so wish I could Benjamin Brunley in my house
This was amazing.definitely a little jealous.stuff like this doesn't happen every day.
BIG BLUE NATION IS EVERYWHERE!!!!! #BBN
YES! He was in KENTUCKY in this video!
Was this in Lexington? I thought I read somewhere that his gf is from Lex?
Kori Breeding Erlanger, KY
if he showed up to my house I would panic and then pass out
Why is there so much hate please everyone just stop with the negativity.
I liked when Ben Burnley said "it's breaking time" and broke himself
Instant win. That's friggin awesome.
What a great video...shows you what a real musician should be like. Just a straight up dude. Definitely the reason I purchased his signature guitar from esp
Exciting stuff man!
I hope to meet him someday as well!
So glad BB is back!
this is so fucking cool
I'd hug him and never let go!!!!😄😄😄
He must love drop A# because when you see them live he plays a lot of the concert in C and C#. Only using A# for the last 3rd of the set. I hope the new album is all in A#. I bought a baritone just to play BB songs. He could have left that guitar in C and had a lot to play for them.
How, how, HOOOWWWW did you get BEN BURNLEY in your house?!?!?!? Sooooooo envious, man... that woukd truly be my dying wish.... #benfan4life
Holy crap .16s?? I didn't even know they made strings that guage. If he tunes down to drop C though it makes sense
Ben usually tunes to drop A# or B, for drop C tuning 12 is more than enough.
Unsmile I play Drop C on 10s and it's fine. But I cant go lower than Drop B. Also, Ben doesn't tune to Drop B. But Drop A#, C and C# is the tunings of all their songs.
OMAIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMAIGAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE LUCKIEST HUMAN IN THE WORLD!!!!! BEN FUCKING BURNLEY VISITED YOU AT YOUR OWN HOME!!!! AND TOUCHED YOUR AMP!!!!!!!!!!
What a honor that a rock legend visited this house
Amazing guy. What a great thing to do Ben, this video was great to watch.
Holy shit wow - what a treat! I hope to see BB live before I die - one of my favorite bands ever.
That man is one of the most precious people in the universe.
Yeah my fríend
Cheers from México df
Im like totally fucking smiling this whole time watching n listening literally feeling this kids energy because hes literally just a normal person like anyone else...no one every takes time to just shoot the shit and jam out ..super awesome my dude.💜💚💜💚
Keith was also the lead singer and rhythm guitar player for Knoxville, TN based band Copper, Ben. Get you facts straight hahaha. (I know Adelita's Way is much more famous, but I'm from Knoxville so I saw Keith's band about once a month haha)
Mammoth slinkys with fix that drop A# tuning 🤘🤘
God i would die if that was me, that is so awesome.
Video should be called Ben tuning.
holllllly fuck like where did they find the one batch of people that don't know the hit songs, don't have facebook, won't fucking jam, like wtf
