Ben Burnley

Ben Burnley in our basement. How lucky can you be?

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.

....you just casually had Benjamin Burnley in your house...playing your guitar....

[@musicsaves2828]

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.

[@israelfailin4803]

Lol, he said, "You ever hear of a band called Korn?". So polite.

[@TempleSpeedWay]

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 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

I'm sorry but Ben Burnley playing Chevelle is such a moment.

[@Sevalus]

That's the coolest thing ever. I would literally drop dead if someone famous from a band i liked was in my house.

[@LIZZIED0LL]

I love that his wife is there too & has Benjamin Burnley V in her belly ♡♡♡

[@xReverieOfBenx]

I know im EXTREMELY late but LORD PROTECT BEN AT ALL COST!! 🥹 such a beautiful SWEET MAN!!

[@chimmyspromise]

I would faint if this happened. He would be picking me up off the floor and taking me to the emergency room. Haha

[@kevinliney3174]

Ben and Chevelle have to do a song together he sings the red so fucking good

[@breakingjesus57]

You gotta know the songs. Ben is one best modern singer and song writer of this era.

[@hogcheez]

I am the person in the video that walks down the stairs at

[@UNITED38Heavy]

That is my dream, a guitar lesson from the man himself. Ben fucking Burnley.

[@JokerCat9]

Extra nice of him to tune the guitar to 3 different tunings

[@mxnpolyamorous]

Haha, he played The Red.

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.
