Ben Eller talks with Radical Metal about Mastodon, Weekend Wankshop, "Biological Stepdad" the Movie.

If there was a prize for nicest, funniest and shred-iest guitar player on the stage and the internet; Ben Eller would win it. You may know him as Uncle Ben. For some guitarists, Ben haunts their dreams him "Shreddy Krueger", for others, he is the "Shredi Knight," a spiritual warrior who is known for saying, "man does not live on SHRED alone." To us he is all these things and more and don't think I have laughed this hard in any other video. We talk his performance with MASTODON at Tool in the Sand. We talk the band "Palaces". We talk his journey as cherished (my word) YouTuber and how he went from 0-500,000+ subscribers. We talk about his incredible band "Arc" and his incredible cover band "Skankbanger". We talk about his work and projects with Andy Wood and his relationship with the band "Periphery". We talk about upcoing solo album. We talk about the matrix we may or may not be living in. We bookend with some more information about Mastodon that I did not know and write the script on "Biological Stepdad", the movie. It's a hoot folks, and SHOCKER, he is the same guy you see in the videos every week!
