Ben Burnley is amazing. I recently went to a concert with Breaking Ben, Nickelback, & Three Days Grace, & they were all awesome, but I liked Breaking Ben the best.

Ben discusses his phobias in two interviews: UGO Interview and WMMR Interview


More biographical information should be added, if available.

Information, such as, what high school did Ben attend?
How many brothers and sisters does he have?
Has he ever been married and if so, for how long?
Does he have any children?
What nationality/ethnic background is his family?
Ben appears to become ill on tours. Does he have a long-term medical condition, besides his phobias?

(I'd like to make a notice that the sound in the intro of the "Phobia" album the sound that was said to be a train sounds more like windshield wipers going to me. And also, you here a car door closing near the start. I don't have an account, nor do I know how to fix this so I just added that on here. Someone should look into that.)

The intro and outro of the "Phobia" album defintely has a door opening and closing. It does sound like windshield wipers. But then it comes to the train (though it could be a plane). I think these sounds represent Ben's fear of traveling.

I noticed that there is no citation for the trivia: "Ben once sang the National Anthem and threw out the first pitch at the first Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees game in April 2007 at PNC Field.". I have found proof for the National Anthem, though I cannot find anything saying that Ben threw out the first pitch.

And, I believe Ben was born in New Jersey... I found a video with Ben stating that he was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I may just be hearing wrong. Please check this before referencing it.

^^ you are correct, i just got back from a concert tonight in AC and he said himself he was born here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.90.13.87 (talk) 06:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ben's alleged atheism

Please provide a source for this bit of trivia before re-adding it to the entry. Ben makes reference to God, including his announcement regarding his prolonged illness during the summer 2007 tour: "I’m working tirelessly to getting to the bottom of this so I can do what God put me on this earth to do."
