Ben Burnley Taking Care of His Audience

Five instances of Ben interrupting the show to ensure the well-being of fans.

[@lucksury]

Never seen anybody care so much about the safety and well being of others. He really does seem like a good guy that wants to have fun

[@unluckyomen13]

Lucksury Chester did the same too... Which is why I love and respect both of these artists!

[@lawnman3638]

Ben has visited and played for sick children in hospitals. Guy is a saint in my book. Also, it takes a unique person like Ben to multitask by playing guitar, singing, and watching the crowd.

[@xavistrife7067]

He is so f*cking amazing as musician and as a person

[@cooliojones3048]

Gotta say, I never thought fights were so common an occurrence at concerts. Respect to these guys and how they just roll with it.

[@LSDaniel]

Coolio Jones They're normally not. The problem with bands like Breaking Benjamin is that their major-market concerts are exhaustively-promoted by local radio and thus, attract "concert crashers", which are non-fans that just want to get drunk and fight. In Minneapolis MN, for example, every jock douche that listens to 93x is aware of the upcoming opportunity to act like a jock douche, whereas in a smaller town like Sioux Falls SD, the people packing the tiny venue are there because they follow Breaking Benjamin. I'm speaking in generalities, of course, as there are pricks everywhere, but that's my experience.

[@ACDXBRAD]

Coolio Jones I see fights at almost every show because of people hardcore dancing in the pit like idiots and end up punching someone

[@1LuvMLPFiM]

As the saying goes: "Some people just love to watch the world burn." But I guess in this case, they personally participate in them.

[@robbiedozier2840]

ADXBRAD people who mosh are a completely different matter. I was at a Carnifex show last year and everyone was going crazy in the pit but when I fell two or three guys IMMEDIATELY helped me up.

[@NilsHedstrom]

@@LSDaniel It's sad neanderthals like that still exist. You must have a really sad life if you got nothing better to do than to attend a concert of a band you don't like just to start fights...

[@rocketwoat]

3:44 Aaron be like "oh goddamnit not again"

[@dmccreedy3539]

This whole video is beautiful.. The end is great this man is so caring, his son has a great father and his wife has a great husband. Ben is one of the sweetest..

[@c.t.1893]

I love this, as a guy who has a brain tumor I have to avoid being hit, so things like this are great! Fucking love Burnley! 🤘

[@LSDaniel]

Canaan's Photography Are you able to take any hits at all, or are you forced to avoid the pit entirely?

[@c.t.1893]

LSDaniel Have to avoid it, if not could be potentially life threatening. Not a big concert goer anyways, but would love to see these guys live!

[@kornfreak78]

Ben is such a cool dude. He'll always be one of my favorite singers.

[@alexplayspiano94]

DUDE. Major respect. Major major major.

[@NaldiSooDiabolic]

"Can u fucking hear me man? How do u not hear me I'm loud as fuck!" OML I'm dead. 😂 He's been my favorite for many years and will always be. He's a down to earth guy.

[@Soundtracks92]

Ben is one of the nicest, caring, most awesome human beings alive right now

[@nauri8138]

If he yelled at me to stop fighting then imma take his advice and stop fucking fighting!

[@benflap9374]

I bet you do, because I think he will make sure people get kicked out if they don'. maybe even doing it himself =)

[@nauri8138]

Probably

[@guilhermebotelho8691]

I watched Liam Gallagher live last week. The concert was going great until a guy decided he was too good for the back rows and started making his way to the front by pushing people. I was in the front row and the guy came behind me and started pressing me against the barricade. I tried to draw Liam's attention but he didn't seem to notice. Eventually the security came and spent about 5 minutes in front of me yelling at the guy behind me and I could barely watch or hear 2 songs cause Liam didn't seem to give a shit and kept playing. I immediately thought of this video. If it were Ben, I don't think the situation would be like that. Mad respect for Ben. The world needs more people like him.

[@tenyaiida269]

Literally the coolest politest person.

[@robsondias3838]

This is man Ben Burley

[@heatherstaggs3316]

I was there at the Nashville show...Ben is so awesome... they all are !

[@ythinder]

Ben Burnley is a class act

[@creeperkilla83]

the one with give me a sign was just perfect

[@Shorebreak_]

“Do you not fuckin hear me? I’m loud as FUCK” 😂😂😂

[@Steven.Stovall]

One thing I'm afraid of is my epilepsy. A tonic clinic (AKA grand Mal seizure ) I have those. At least I'd die at a good show. I always take a good dose of something like Valium a bit before the concert, plus I'll keep a couple on me if I get an aura before one. I know Ben would try and help. there are so many people though. I fall to the floor, and it gets really bad. nearly died a few times. It's good to see artist care enough to watch out for the crowd like he does. Wish me luck, you guys.

[@LSDaniel]

Steven Stovall You're photosensitive?

[@Steven.Stovall]

+LSDaniel Well, I've had them during flashing lights before. I've also went to concerts (only 2)with strobes. I didn't seize. I took a high dose of a benzodiazapine before it though.

[@celinec705]

aaawwww he is sssssoooooo sweet

[@SQUADLIVEYT]

Ben is good at taking care of his crowds

[@Aarthurnax]

That flashlights part was awesome and beautiful. When I was at Foo Fighters show in Poland, everyone did the same thing

[@T-Bone217]

0:07 he tells those guys to stop fighting 0:24 he sings after yelling at them 😂

[@toasterrobot8566]

3:13 WOOOOOO! OH MY GOD I LOVE HIM

[@kevinmaynard1220]

Keepem straight Ben. Love us brother.

[@modestmoose9168]

when I saw them in 2015, they did the same cell phone flashlight thing and it about made me tear up. it was so much brighter than you'd expect. turning around and looking at all the flashlights dotting the darkness was super beautiful, almost surreal.

[@anishadelarber]

Dude I love Ben and the band so much! And I swear he kicks into Dad mode when he sees something goin on❤️

[@graveyardbaby570]

BB is gonna be here next week in Mississippi and I REALLY WANNA GO BUT I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY

[@BreadPitt7]

Jane The Ripper work

[@MissStateFan]

Where were they? I live in Mississippi!

[@gabrielolivera6453]

Dad burnley

[@seanathonhooper]

That's what I was thinking lol

[@anonymouscreator5262]

“YO CHILL THE FUCK OUT!” *goes back to singing like nothing happened*

[@andrewdyckman3616]

Anyone saying Travis Scott isn’t responsible or he couldn’t do anything to stop the show, yeah he could have especially when he could clearly see a fucking ambulance in the crowd while in a tower on stage. I don’t care if Breaking Benjamin isn’t as popular as him they have more heart than he does. One person passed out and Ben immediately lit up every light in the place and stopped the music to make sure they were ok.

[@villagweedo]

After hearing and seeing all the negative images from this recent Travis Scott in Astroworld, I came here to appreciate how much Ben cares for his fans!

[@blueishere1613]

I officially love ben 🖤

[@socko5708]

NO!! NOOO NO! NO! YOU DONT FUCKING FIGHT... I dont care! I love ben lmao

[@Channelthatprovidesplaylists]

Don't know who this guy is but I have so much respect for him after watching this

[@FIREANGEL-nq1uh]

Well now you know He is Ben burnley

[@EnergeticSpark63]

14 subs

[@jaredklock8754]

Ben is a great guy, I also want to appreciate the rest of the band for transitioning the music while Ben deals with idiots.

[@hannaha.4102]

The ending brought tears to my eyes.

[@dragonrider4339]

Same 😢 that was something special

[@TheJudoJoker]

He did this at the show I went to. It was really hot and humid and he stopped mid song to ask the staff to start tossing water bottles to the crowd and told the crowd to share them.

[@clonetrooper576]

yuppp i remember that nashville show. where he stopped

[@merringuthrie2587]

What a great guy!

[@mightymightyrise0788]

Ben Burnley 6’4 193 cm takes care of the fans in a heartbeat such a good guy that cares so much about safety and the safety of others anytime there’s a situation involving assault or mosh pitting he’s got to break it up

[@kariqualters5908]

I LOVE THAT MAN!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@TylrMrtn]

I love how this all happened during a “Dark Before Dawn” tour.

[@itadoriyuuji6686]

Respect...👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

[@kimmypeal8953]

I actually went to one of his concerts in memphis and he stopped the show because of a fight and gave a lecture. Great dude. Great music.

[@ScrmR]

well Ben is a great singer,guitarist,songwriter and a great human

[@ScrmR]

that's why i love him as a person,he's amazing

[@heathermatthews8286]

I love how they go right back to playing and singing without missing a beat! These guys are awesome!!

[@arielconsuelos8053]

That isn’t easy, my respects for that haha

[@heathermatthews8286]

Love him so much!!

[@bcmiller1100]

[@christopherperkins1894]

Ben such a good dude mad respect

[@ralphnewberry1140]

Much love Ben.

[@goosesniper454]

Ben and Ivan Moody are fucking amazing.

[@weazzel80at420]

Fights happen when someone who doesn't know how to mosh ends up in a mosh pit.

[@Manderinz]

What’s a mosh pit

[@ianperry9598]

@@Manderinz lol im a year late but its when fans gather in a pit on the floor and dance, run, headbang, etc and its called "moshing." People usually bounce off of each other if there is a lot of energy from the song which can make it dicey sometimes. People who dont know how to mosh or are just aholes can just end up flailing around can hurt people, which can lead to fights

[@SKLL3TR]

that is why i love bb

[@squidwardtentacles2736]

freakin love this! Ben is such a caring dude, good to see a performer so invested in his audiences safety.

[@libbymeli864]

Makes me love them all the more. Very cool
