ANNOUNCEMENT: Ben Woods Flametal REDUX record release

Fans and friends of Ben Woods, we are happy to announce the release of Flametal “Redux”, the final record of our beloved Ben Woods. You can listen here on youtube this Saturday, April 22nd, 2023 7PM PST with this link: • FLAMETAL "REDUX" (comp... (not playable till the exact release time)
We'll be celebrating with you in Seattle at the Rendezvous at the time.
As you must know by now, Ben was a groundbreaking guitarist, composer and artist. Bringing together his metal roots and his love for flamenco, he was always fearless on his artistic journey. His swan song is certainly no different with stripped down, reimagined versions of his classics along with brave new compositions, which he kept writing to the very end.
Ben was an extraordinary person that touched everyone with his energy, positivity and generosity. May he continue to do so through his art for eternity.

Sorry I didn't introduce myself folks. I was focused on Ben and getting his record out, and didn't really want to say anything about me. My name is Eric Jaeger. Ben and I were the best of friends, really more like brothers. We started playing flamenco and became full time musicians around the same time. We both came from a metal/rock background on the Eastside. I don't want to say too much here, but for the thousands of fans and supporters that never had the chance to meet him, I can tell you that Ben was an absolutely beautiful human being. The best of the best. Your support meant the world to him. His family still takes in all the love people are sending on his channel. I'm sure you will love this last gift he left us. Ben Woods Forever!!🤘🤘

[@kenny5598]

Sad day but thank you for letting us know. We will always have his video's to make us happy even if he is no longer with us.

[@beachbarlouie]

I asked him a few questions about nylon string guitars to help me choose. He responded with kindness and concern.

[@adnankapidzic7716]

Do u have more footage of him playing? Rehearsing?

[@seattleflamenco]

@@adnankapidzic7716 Yes. I can't think of a flamenco guitarist that put out more footage than Ben. Even in his last year he made videos of some of the new recordings before they were mastered. Everything is on his channel.

[@nwitron1]

It's my favorite bouzouki player.

[@habsom1406]

Ben Woods brought 2 of my favorite elements together Heavy Metal and Classical Guitar. My brother and I were so lucky to have met him at the 2020 NAMM show. Extremely nice guy and super super talented!! He even talked to us about his Nyloncasters. I hope his family and friends are doing well. Ben Woods is still an inspiration!!

[@SethCDs]

As a guitar teacher, I have written Ben Woods name so many times on listening lists to help get people excited about what nylon guitar styles can sound like outside of just classical or stereotypical flamenco. Ben Woods forever indeed.

So very sorry for your loss. I will be getting the album, but wanted to make sure the family got as much of the proceeds as possible. Will it be put on Ben's Bandcamp? If not, I will get it from iTunes. Hope the listening party was a healing moment for the close friends and family.

I just heard this news today on Randy Rhoads birthday (12/6/23) I can't believe I didn't hear about Ben. This makes me so sad! Ben was an amazing talent and inspiration. I usually can't stop running my mouth, I'm shocked and speechless. He will be missed by tens of thousands. R.I.P Ben.

We need also to bring back ben woods classes .. we are ready to di everything to see the classes .. BEN WOODS FOREVER ❤

[@Muddyriversfishing]

Awesome

[@RicardoMarlowFlamenco]

Hey you guys, hope you are good. Many years ago Ben gave me a copy of his album Flamenco Light-Flamenco Heavy, with two tracks Tangos and Solea that feature Jesus Montoya singing. Those tracks are no where to be found online (I believe he replaced the cante tracks with electric guitar solos and renamed the tracks). Any chance you guys can load those two to this channel? That would be really cool I think!

[@egq1988]

Is this Ben's brother? Same voice!

[@zedkiller6279]

😭

[@sahaswaroop]

Hurrah... Love it

[@quita1569]

I am in L.A. The farewell party is in Seattle, Wa? Why? I want to go.
