[XRockMetalFanX]

[borus55]

whats the name again from 0:31?

[Sjusovaren]

@borus55 Walk This Way by Aerosmith =)

[OffWIthTheRain]

black stone cherry are my favourite band but you have to say this isnt the best solo ever

[707HAMMERHEAD707]

@OffWIthTheRain Yeah I agree but you gotta cut him some slack he's pretty much pulling those notes out of the air

[hmn4466]

This dude is the shit! I saw Zakk, saw Randy, saw Ritchie Blackmore, saw Van Halen. All togehter... Shit. Awesome!

[Sweet666girl1]

my mind just blew up from sheer awesomeness.

[DukeGuitarist96]

10 minutes after that gig, that guitar filed rape charges against Ben Wells....

[MikeLikesGuitars]

Truly Awesome, but such strange eyes O_o

[mongoferd]

Thats right. Hes fucking awesome!!!

[lannaandlaney]

I JUST MET HIM!!! Like 2 hours ago :)

he's on the "Vh1 Best cruise Ever tour"

he's hot ;).....but kinda short :|

[sup7300]

i......just....came

[DestroyingxXxAngel]

The man is a SEX BOMB:p

[foosrockguitarriffs]

Ben does resemble a young zakk wylde, I hate kids that just slag zakk because they can, if your of my age and remember a younger zakk he was the man, also his older band pride and glory sounds like a less comercial black stone cherry, fantastic BSC forever!!

[MusicMakesHappiness]

Ben is an amazing guitarist. This video proves that. What an epic solo.

[EyeSlick]

Through this Guitar solo, he plays the songs that he was inspired by. But the main band he was inspired by was Lynyrd Skynyrd.

[Hambone91528]

He totally made that Les Paul his bitch

[Mephistto]

Les Paul + Wah + Pentatonic = This kind of solo =]

[mTruck15]

BEN WELLS YOU ARE THE FUCKIN MAN!

[sophiacookie27]

He is awesome!!!

[josielovesboosh]

YOU ARE SO LUCKY 0.O

[shugabear135]

Damn rub it in the worlds face on youtube, ass. but ur 2nd cuz is a billy bad

[BenHarveyRocks]

the reason he sounds the same as Zac Wylde is Zak is known fo his Wah solo's and fast licks..and this is what ben is doing here.. it just sounds similiar but its deffinatly not a copy of a Zak Wyde solo.

[RandyRhodesFreak25]

If you knew anything about BSC you would know that Ben Wells is NOT a copy of Zakk Wylde. If you think that then you must be terribly mentally retarted.

[jerichowithlats]

@RandyRhodesFreak25 not a copy but i defiantly can hear the ZW influence.

[ironcow64]

@RandyRhodesFreak25 hahaha 'terribly mentally retarded' now thats an insult xD

[Madnessthisis]

i didnt know that ben does some solos.. i thought only BSC's vocalist does the solos..

anyway, ben stil rocked.. \m/

[skynyrdss]

Another copy of zakk wylde is born

this guy REALLY SUCKS!!!!!

black stone cherry is a very good band!

but this guy, just go home friend....

[thecorpsecrew]

two words FUCK YOU and plus u have no room to talk cause u can't even play guitar

[munch83]

That is a pretty slick guitar solo. Ben has some talent....but to compare him to Zakk Wylde......come on now, shake your head.Ben isnt even the best guitarist in BSC, and Zakk is a guitar Legend, Hero, God. Ben's a great player...but that is too bold of a statement.

[Andragon90]

Chill out. We all love Zakk. He was referring to the style of the shred, which is kinda reminiscent of Zakk's. And he IS the best guitarist in BSC. And one of the best that got signed lately.

[xXclaychaosXx]

Chris is the best guitarist in BSC..

Ben mainly does rhythm guitar chris does lead, lead vox and the solos..thts talent..nd dont even start arguing i am KIN to Ben so i know this crap..nd im not trying to be a dick im just pointing it out chris deserves the credit

[cowboywolfe88]

@xXclaychaosXx ..I'm not being a smartass, but Chris gets a lot of credit as the whole band does!!! Thats what I love about this band, they're all equal to one another, and you're kin to Ben...??? COOL SHIT!!!! "Peace&Love"

[gunsnrosesrocker]

no man is a god no matter how good they are at anythin unless they were absolute bosters and bigheaded cocks then they would tell you that themselves

[frazzy860]

i have a bigheaded cock....... lol.

[ernieball3645]

there is kind of the same style ben and zakk

[ivfwoman]

I think Ben's fantastic, can't get enough of him!!

[supercrazyblondeguy]

That.Was.Effing.Sick

I knew he could play, but i did not see that coming lol.

[nikoisinnocent]

A new Zakk Wylde is born ^^

[jetskirider32]

sick

my new fav guitarist

[bendavisjunior3]

Sweet!!!!

[swest666]

I have so much more respect for Ben now. This is the only video on YouTube where he actually has an epic solo like this.

[ernieball3645]

yeah he should do more but he did the solo in shooting star and the second solo in lonley train

[slashowns102938]

i didn't know he did those solo's!! sweet!!

[ernieball3645]

extremely underated

[scarsxguitars]

actually i dont think hes the lead guitarest..when i saw them at the orange peel with theory of a deadman ben mostly played rhythem behind the lead singer..he did have one solo tho..i dont remember what song..but he has ALOT of energy on stage haha

[BigR6ch]

Neither of them consider themselves the lead guitarest. Their both equaly talented.

[WokeUpDreamin]

YEA HE DOES!!!! He's ALWAYS jumpin around! I saw em back in August and was by far one of the best shows i have ever seen!

[rancecockrell]

these guys are awesome. I saw and met them at Red Dirt Round Up-08 in Fort Worth, and they are the nicest guys in the world

[cacorkins]

man he reminds of zakk wylde back in his younger days, like when he played with ozzy from 89-92

[theponylikesit]

face melting.

[Benji10009]

awesome guitarist and real nice guy too they were hanging out after playing newcastle signing autograpphs and stuff i asked for a pic and instead of what alot of bands do, grunt and get it over with asap, he gathered the rest of the band up a true gent

[poorcolossus]

That's because you should never forget:The fans get the band where they are.

[AlexMeza14]

is this solo from one of their songs or he just shredding?

[shralper07]

Mmmmm.....me thinks this guy has been worshiping at the temple of Wylde!!!??? Very good player anyhow, and a bloody great band! Shame he dont get many leads.....

[SDMF0033]

definite wylde influence...

which is cool cuz i saw them a while back wen they opened for BLS

[guitarstringsnappa]

this guy rocks. good thing he's my cousin.

I'm being serious, I know where he lives

[cliffburtonlives]

where?

[KLMshake]

I FUCKING LOVE BEN WELLS!!!!!!!

he`s gorgeous babes! :P

[Powerslave94]

Yep! <3

[rockismymusic]

these guys are awesome.....i mean good bands listen to good music and are into good stuff..hints the lynyrd skynyrd shirt...hes awesome ben wells is an awesome musician

[tobiaspace]

incredible

[leitegabriel]

He doesnt shred well.. Maybe he does. He didnt use much creativity

[shralper07]

....and you do? Haha!! Keep workin on those bends kido...you have a way to go yet!....oh and I would look to someone more inspirational than Hammet....he's not a pro.

[cliffburtonlives]

no, kirk hammett is not a pro, he actually fucking sucks! oh, wait. i meant to say he's a fucking legend!

[emosk8erchik265]

Ben turned 22 on sunday!!!

[davidderschuh]

i don't know whats ur problem, u asshole, that was damn nice, u sucker, the oldest member of this band is 23 and u guys don't care, assholes, for his age, this was a master piece, except that short part of walk this way by aerosmith, everything was his work, and by the way, listen to the damn nice solos on following tracks: Black Stone Cerry - Hell & High Water ; Black Stone Cherry - Lonely Train...fools

[thenewnhlsux]

I wouldnt call this "shred" but its nice to see ANY lead guitar being played in this lame era of music! I cant believe how shitty rock music is the past couple yrs, at least BSC is a good band! With the Les Paul + posing it was very cool 2 see, would u rather see "panic at the disco or fall out fag"? - ROCK ON BOYS!

[dusty42482]

I hope that was a joke!!!!

[Premier141]

Are you in second grade? That was pathetic ear poison at best.

[thefoxwolf]

Idiot.

[Kreuger]

Holy shit dude I didn't know he could shred. How come only Chris plays solos in their songs?

[livgrnfan]

Ben plays a few solos (like the final one on Lonely Train). From what I read in an interview, the guy who comes up with the solo in a song first tends to play it, which I guess is Chris most of the time.

[Kreuger]

Yeah I s'pose that's usually how it works but I never see him play any so you know..
