Did you ever think there is a better bassist than Joey DeMaio (Manowar) walking around on planet earth? I insist you check out the bass parts on Ben Kuzay's song 'Vortex'.

You really are an awesome bass player. Props to ya bro! I hope we get a chance to work together sometime soon.
-Michael A Puskas, President of Astral Records  


As for your music, I think it is stunning. ESPECIALLY "an Engulfing Spiral". That is bass playing at its best as far as I am concerned. Even Cliff Burton himself would have to bow to that piece of music.
-Tommy Ryan, Miscellaneous Debris


Dude...you are the best bass player I have ever heard, (on MySpace and on CD, anyways) so a standing-ovation is what is deserved...keep rockin', my bass playing brother in music!

Had a listen to your stuff and you put us to shame :)
Brilliant musicianship! Keep it up.

I feel lucky to have a chance to work with such a high caliber musician as him! 
-Mike Philippov  


I've been listening to Ben Kuzay's newest album today "Beyond Black Mirrors" and want to recommend it to everyone who's a fan of dark, ambient and instrumental styles of music. I personally think it's his best work to date and demonstrates how much more can be done with what is largely an under-appreciated instrument.
-Zack Ryan, Shadows In The Hourglass


I've never seen anyone play like that live, only on Youtube!  St. Joseph is a cesspool of musicians, and of all of the bassists I've seen around here, no one comes close to you!
-Binky


your music sounds awesome, you realy rock! 
-After The Silence, The Netherlands 


Sounds great!

Hey Ben! Great to hear from you! LOVE the fact that you are so devoted to your instrument. Guys like you are hard to come by. Wish you lived here in Atlanta! Keep in touch. Hope all is well. Kate
-Kate French, Chastain, Vainglory


Your playing is The perfect balance between melody and rhythm on the bass!
-Shred Shirts


I can't wait for the new album. With enough listeners, it could/should change the way bass guitar is used in music.
-Barry Kuzay
