Anyone else find it interesting how he smiles once the interviewer says "Djent" ?
Wonder what was going through his mind. Personally, i think something is just stopping the dude from going through with actually moving forward with Cloudkicker. What an interesting dude... There's this hint of mystique surrounding him, i can feel it....
For whoever wants to hear more of Ben Sharp, he just did an interview on First World Problems podcast. It's not really a standard interview like this but they talk about a lot of stuff. BTW if you haven't checked out his stuff on bandcamp do it now.
Ben Sharp...man, if your watching this, to bask in your glory or whatever, heed my plea. Make videos of yourself covering your best songs from your album, or do an album play through on youtube. That would be kickass. Just filming yourself playing your shit. I hear you have a pretty Les Paul Studio...
@BeADjent Did I ever ask anyone to be impressed? I mentioned before that I didn't come here to brag, and that I only used lacrosse to affirm my heterosexuality in my original statement. You don't read very well, do you? I just don't understand where you're coming from.
@BeADjent Call me Mr. Obvious, but I think you're missing the point. Not only that but you completely avoided both my argument and my question. First of all, I only used used lacrosse as a context for manliness and as a backup to the rest of the statement, the one intended for an audience that also enjoys the work of Ben Sharp. Added to the fact that I play lacrosse, I also said I enjoy shooting guns and eating bacon. I would also like to mention that the term "heterosexual" is used to
@pyrofate relate my interest in women. Which brings me to another point, why is "gay" a bad thing? You mean to tell me that, not only are you not a very nice person, but you're also ignorant and discriminatory? Third, I asked if you are a football player, or a person who is physically or emotionally abused by lax bros. Had you answered I could've leveled with you concerning your different life style and/or problems with that side of American culture, the lax bros. Plus, lacrosse, as far as I
@pyrofate know, is, in fact, a sport, as is clearly defined by the competitive contest between two teams of individuals with a similar goal, i.e. running "around with nets with balls in them and try to throw them into nets" as you crudely described yourself. Most sports have a very similar objective, like putting a ball in a net to score goals, so I don't see why this is much different. Lastly, I did not come to this video to broadcast my personal life, I did solely because I love Cloudkicker.
@BeADjent what about it? I can only assume that you think lax bros are the "gay" part of lacrosse, and in that you'd be correct. They're douchebags. The sport itself, which I play without acting like an asshat, is actually quite exciting. Can I also assume that you are a football player, or a person who is physically or emotionally abused by lax bros? Keep in mind that there is a difference between lax bros and lacrosse players
cloudkicker`s way of givin music for free , its the future!! No more the leech of music industry shall get in the way between good quality music and hungry ears!
He seems like a really nice guy. I've been e-mailing him for a while, and he has been awesome enough to answer home recording questions. He has been a huge inspiration for my own solo project "What is Sleep".
I love Ben's jams, they are amazing and his album flows so nicely, but he seems so unenthused about his own music. Every time Frank asks him about his creativity and motivation he just kinda shoots it down as if he's embarrassed.. Hope he keeps writing!
The sirens in the background are going crazy because crazy die-hard paparazzi found out Ben Sharp is in the neighborhood and shit is going down behind the scenes!
hellyeah his shit is so fuckin good. he makes alot of bands look like shit because its takes 5 or 6 of them to get close to the sound this guy has. he does it all by hisself...fuckin crazy
Cloudkicker changes my life on a daily basis. Best instrumental music i've ever heard-metal or not metal.
