[@bennedictartclavecillas3452]

Ben has changed a lot. If you check out his interviews from 2021, 2022 and 2023 you can really see his maturity. From a rockstar to what seems like a well mannered individual family man.

[@mariogarofano9926]

I WANT TO SEE THE FULL INTERVIEW. PLEASE ROCK SOUND, PLEASE.

[@kaeisokay]

So do I

[@pedromayrinck]

I love how people are giving them shit for the attitudes and stuff but like I am 100% sure this was like RAR and before because now they're matured greatly. Friendly reminder that in the beginning of AA they were like 18 so obviously they're going to be more insane but now they've been fucking fine

[@aaazzz123ish]

I wish that was true but it's not. This interview is only couple of months old

[@NoName-zq4or]

The INTERVIEW may be a few months old, but that doesn't mean the stories are a few months old...

[@jordannpastel8240]

I forget how much I loved asking Alexandria, or more importantly how much I loved Ben!

[@mychemicalrmancetrash412]

I keep rewatching this video because I can never get enough of these two

[@alexiswayward]

I love this but I wish the whole band had been there

[@MIFSjolly]

James is so hot. Why is nobody thinking so?

[@xtheunderratedyouthx]

He definitely is 😍

[@metal_lovingmexican6976]

Bruh who doesn't talk about James he's the "cutie behind the drooms" 😂

[@misspixelwolf3282]

M-I F. I agree

[@anneferlybasister4226]

i personally think he is the best looking among the guys haha

[@SaadRKhan]

@Antonio Quiroz no mature person gives a shit about Andy is

[@brandonsanchezrojas]

I think this was a long time ago they don't really do these kinds of things anymore if you follow them on social media you'll know

[@hannybadger5338]

this was uploaded 6 days ago

[@hannybadger5338]

and they are past story's tho

[@brandonsanchezrojas]

+Dan Hermiston yeah that's what I mean

[@hannybadger5338]

+ibandon ya I relized after I said it

[@leannekovarovic3195]

This is why i love Asking Alexandria!

[@tristian5847]

Wow the hate for these guys runs deep, you get older rock stars from the 60s-80s telling tales of them destroying stuff in alcohol and drug fuelled party rages and it's cool and rock n roll. Asking Alexandria do the same thing and "OMG that's disrespectful how dare they do that than brag about it what little 15 year old douche bags".......... You know what if I was a rock star touring the world is do the exact same thing just for shits n gigs

[@AssAssinBoy9716]

Thank God I found another person who isn't completely stupid

[@tristian5847]

It all comes down to people hating them cause they came out during time time of and appealed to scene/emo kids

[@Kelsey1309]

Yay! Another intelligent person in the comments :) This is nothing compared to shit bands like The Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Aerosmith, etc used to get up too.

[@DaMazzaf97]

@@Kelsey1309 way to just miss OP's point completely

[@bangkokstevie]

Naughty little boys, send them to bed early with no tea.

[@dominicesposito4394]

bangkokstevie 😏 oh nou, they caunt hauve nou tee!

[@huneebird2898]

I just realized all they're stories are in hotels or hotel rooms. Fucking awesome 😂

[@shivvixx]

Omg, I was totally there in Birmingham! It was at Zydeco! It was absolutely amazing!

[@misterknightowlandco]

people who wonder why modern music is shit its because of this comments section. its a fucking rock band. this is what rock bands do. if you dont like it then dont get involved.

[@bsbznumber1fan]

James and Ben are my fav all the guys in the band are amazing but those are my 2 favs and this video made me laugh and I needed it after the day I've had AAForever

[@woowoo4397]

I love Ben and James so much oml

[@kamibloodmoon7651]

I died laughing at how Ben Bruce pronounced "Alabama" at 0:53

[@marlineharrold1937]

Thank you for the video. ❤️

[@Guitarshredder559]

These guys are the shit! I always love to watching their interviews lol

[@nina-lr5en]

You guys are awesome.....love you!!

[@michael7033]

I was at the show when we tore the roof of Zydeco in Birmingham thanks guys!!

[@kylopat1652]

Wish I could have been there, must've been an amazing sight to see lol

[@emma_5407]

I like how everyone is hating on them and then there's me I don't care I'm seeing them in March and I can't wait

[@DrowsyPlug]

Most Of The People Hating on Them Still Liked the Video Smh, These are things that did in the past, that don't mean there still doing it.

[@MiseryPlague]

I love how you were talking about Australia, come back to Australia we miss you!

[@iLousionTV]

Ben: "Remember the time I was a moustache short of becoming Ron Jeremy"

[@ScienceGeek23]

When you hear the sirens it's like "It's the Argentinian police!! They've found Ben!"

[@patientlast8108]

idk if this is me being extremely judgemental, I love their music to death, there are really no words that can describe how much I appreciate their music. this is the first time I see a video of them actually talking and I think I just really don't like them... just everything there is about this video, the way they are representing themselves. but I think i will still continue to like their music, not so much the people that created it tho, I cant control how I feel.

[@kaura2154]

They both look amazing 😍😍

[@FelixMarshFTW]

I love it when Ben talks

[@ianwrecked]

Clearly everyone who said "These guys are terrible" etc hasn't ever been on tour. Or, at the very least, drunk. I will leave it at that.

[@tristian5847]

Most of the people making those comments would probably back up rockstar like Ozzy, Dio, and Lemmy for doing the exact same shit when they were in their prime. It's fucking rock and roll, when did the rockstars become little whiny straight edge vegan babies?

[@disobey8450]

Gotta love these guys xDD

[@cheyne7526]

I love Ben he makes my day

When you're trying to explain to your parents the bands you like aren't a bad influence... smh

[@metal_lovingmexican6976]

Bens laugh is so cute

[@distressedmegan3364]

James hair is everything

[@N64RumblePak]

They offered to pay for the damages. Accept the money and stop acting like you are some moral hero for calling the cops on a famous rock band. You could have had everything fix at no cost and you decided it would be better to put them in jail. Then they bailed. I don't care what you think, if you have money you can get away with more. That's how the world turns.

[@nationpenguins3534]

They are hilarious. They used to live like rockstars. Half of the time they are joking around anyway... Watch all of their interviews. Jeez people

[@miles4260]

Holy fuck these comments are awful, you guys act like they are the first band to do these things. The stones did this, zeppelin did this extensively, Metallica did it, Nirvana did it, Black Sabbath did it, there are tons of bands that have done this shit and worse and you guys are all acting shocked and shit.

[@treytodd9673]

I wish y’all would come to mobile alabama lol we got better venues

[@mell2185]

[@detkorstraykbolgeymer3469]

Did they say they were with Amity???

[@meganhoppie1787]

1:17 I heard Chelsea grin and i just started smiling

[@thorne3677]

I was kinda sad it wasn't uk Birmingham (btw come back!)

[@hannahkinton3279]

It made me happy when James called Birmingham UK 'our Birmingham' because in my mind, because they're from England (minus Denis of course) they belong to us, and nobody else should have access to seeing them😹

[@brisasdelmar4400]

an empty hotel room ??? peeing on my self jajajaja

[@Alumdeles]

Yes, ma bois - Chelsea Grin..., Be glad Ben that ya aint got a Chelsea Grin 4 real dog.... Hahaha. I love you AA btw.

Remember when Code Orange tried to talk shit about them because of this video and the AA boys were just like lol who are you?

[@Datguy9464]

ben looks sooooo different

[@KellyJane10]

You watch these interviews and Ben seems like an asshole, but then when I met him on Warped Tour 2015, and he was one of the sweetest people ever!

BEN

[@joeykong94]

😂

[@gianellabenetti5371]

I didn't even know that Ben was in jail before me in my own country

[@wilfredwayne7139]

Remember when we made good music?

[@tjamese8252]

what is wrong with y'all in the comments literally all fucking bands have done this type of shit before lmao

[@torycatherine2044]

These comments are so fucking ridiculous. Everyone is willing to overlook and justify the fact they made peoples lives difficult for no reason because they're a big famous band. But if this were anybody else smashing up hotel rooms like this, you'd think they were fucking slime bags. And don't even try to brush that off like that isn't the truth. They don't even sound remotely sorry about what they did.

[@AssAssinBoy9716]

So you're telling me you've never done something stupid while being drunk?

[@justinbowen2003able]

I'm pretty sure we have all done really stupid shit while drunk, if not you need stronger alcohol

[@stephaniesblue7870]

Tory Catherine Very true. Fame is a real advantage. You're able to get away with more than you should, so why not enjoy it? These guys worked hard for their fame and now they can be as destructive as possible with barely any consequences. It's just the world we live in.

[@TheBaffoonShow]

james'es eyes look uneven

[@biggin92191]

Saw them recently in Birmingham, AL at a much better venue. But, I can definitely see them playing at a shit place in that city. Need to come to Huntsville instead!

[@kellymues5730]

whatever hater your just jelous

[@karolakadic4667]

💯The hottest of AA 😍

[@zaktaylor9204]

Lol I'm from Alabama and Birmingham is actually a big city lol but yeah cow dung hahaha

[@ashleecoleman2955]

As someone from Alabama damn this funny but hurtful at the same time funny because yeah its true but hurtful because Alabama is suppose to be know as a beautiful place yet it isnt

[@whateverwhatever5715]

James is so freaking hot , man ...jesus

[@Kallinaan]

james is hot as damn

[@3.lisaaaa]

Stop giving them shit for what they said in this video gosh they're just living their fucken lives to the fullest i mean i would do this type shit if i was old enough bc YOLO

[@phillestershouseplant2170]

omg do they trash every hotel they stay at? CX lol

[@veyzaur2302]

So you just destroy venues and then run away? lol

[@AaronVlogggs]

Imagine how many bands were gonna play that venue that week and they ruined it. Disgusting.

[@katecandance3506]

Ben look so .....

[@aannddnn]

cute

[@dengekitomato]

Aww.... Ben got a bit chubby...

[@thestr8person]

Ugh! Public schoolboys! They definitely got buggered in the showers after cricket!

[@elenagilbert12109]

Yeah Alabama does suck, I hate living here

[@jonniewallace6544]

everyone in the comments saying "the stones and zeppelin used to do it and it wasn't a problem then" that's right but they didn't brag about it like fucking teenagers trying to sound cool. this interview is totally embarrassing and these lads are clearly trying to show off, extremely cringey.

[@kineticjams3894]

Bens face looks chubby in this video

[@blackcraft3465]

Whats the point? Getting wasted and partying fuck yeah man but breaking expensive ass TVs is really stupid

[@Catfue12316]

They were practically 17 ( probably a bit older) plus it's rock and roll, what are you going to do about it? It's been like, 20 years since then or somewhere around that number and now they're just telling stories. so just chill

[@left4lotty]

Since when did criminal damage become funny and cool? These cretins should be thrown in jail.

[@tristinalbers2347]

Since humankind existed? lol its about the freedom.

[@defaultacc7]

they did offer to pay , they are assholes understood but their time will come

[@tristinalbers2347]

Better than to pretend your some prep boy? and freedom is just the act of being free, not like this code orange BS. They jsut calling people out to get their name out it's fucking marketing. AA did it back in stand up and scream, their copying them.

[@AssAssinBoy9716]

Yeah but I'm sure if a band you like told a story like this you would laugh your ass off and think it's the best thing ever. This kind of stuff has been happening with music artists since the 60s. It's more prevalent in rock n roll, sure, but it can happen with any artist in any genre. Stop acting so stuck up bro.

[@Vividcg]

pretty pathetic them trying to live the old rockstar dream by ruining peoples livelihoods. getting drunk and breaking things. what are you guys 15?

[@pedromayrinck]

They were talking from like their Stand Up And Scream Days or Reckless and Relentess but after that they were better. Especially because in their early days they were like 18-22

[@Vividcg]

Oh don't get me wrong i think their music is terrible. its just a shame i cant even have a shred of respect for them as people either.

[@hannahkinton3279]

Well, not far off back when they did all this in the stand up a scream days😹

[@tristinalbers2347]

guess who makes more money then you and still travels the world? they do. guess who cares about your opinion. no one.

[@Vividcg]

Oh lawd. here come the fangirls. They say in the video they did not pay for destroying the hotel. Even if they did pay that's not excuse for behaving like a spoiled little child and being a smug little twat about it. If someone came into your bedroom (because im assuming your a ten year old emo kid) and smashed the FUCK out of all of your belongings and said - oh its ok we'll pay for it - would you be ok with that?

[@axurityxo8860]

So these guys drink smoke and destroy stuff and that makes them funny I don't get it

[@misspixelwolf3282]

Birmingham is terrible
