Ask Ben!

[Dryftburn]

What is the name of your fourth (technically fifth) album going to be? YOU PROMISED. You better answer me honestly, or face the consequences: I will only listen to 37 of the 38 Billy Talent (and Pezz) songs I have on my iPod before I go to sleep, as opposed to my customary 38 of 38.

[BluethunderNo1]

[BillyNirvanaTalent]

Hey Ben, this is Caelen. You and your band, along with Nirvana, have inspired me. I want to make a band of my own with my friends and can already play guitar a little bit, about novice level. My question is what brought you guys together and who inspired you to write your own music and form your own band?

Are all the songs inspired by experiences in your life or the the other band members as well?What songs are they? if you wernt a muscian what would you be and last one what is your favourite muscian/what bands inspire Billy Talent(influences)You guys are the best band evr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Roony95]

Hey, Ben. I really love you and your music. So my questions are:

[Sillegrille]

After the show at the secret club concert in Stuttgart in June 2010 I got the chance to meet you and, Ben, you listened to a recording on my cell phone. It was me playing "Standin' in the rain" on the piano. A few days before the concert my cat Nelly died who has been my best friend for the last 11 years. I am sure that she arranged to meet you. I would like to thank her for all that she was for me!! Could you please sing a little song to thank her? That is my one and only wish. Hug, Silja

[wesdaman69]

I love the band members, the band as a whole, the music the band puts out, and I have listened to you guys a lot over my high school years. Anyway, my question for you would be (and picking just one is harder than I thought btw). What was your biggest emotional struggle in your High School years?
