One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces (Ben Folds Five cover)

[dkgdbr]

That was fantastic. Your voice sounds similar to Ben Folds's voice, too.

[familygirlgriffin]

you should be on who's got talent awesome

[Phog44]

dude im a pianist... and i never say this... but this is sick as fuck... nice work

[orderandnumber]

@Phog44 Thanks, that's a fine compliment from a fellow ivory-basher. :-) I wish I'd done a better version, but you know, man that song is hard to play and I'm not sure I want to tackle it again.

[alexandradeyl]

i love it

[kristidion]

Has Ben heard you sing this one and "Fired?" I really would think he would appreciate the flattery!!! I really enjoy both of your channels! Oh, and "Vienna" is a work of art! Keep it up! I'm all ears!

[nos4a21]

This cat is crazy

[tiatrips]

Considering how difficult this song is to play or sing, let alone do both at the same time, this is very well done. There's a lot going on during all the song, and the simple fact that you could sing it while playing some of the parts of the song is commendable in itself.

[kaleniX]

Great cover, loved it

[Ibanez3789]

Damn.  Great job!

[Toby1Music]

Nice work man, was good ill admit its bit off on timing but heck i wish i could do that, you got to do a tutorial!

[Pyro767x]

Pretty good considering how intricate the song is.

Better than what I would do XD

[nezkeys79]

good singing but piano is quite sloppy. wish i could sing this song but its WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too high for me

[yankashar]

great

[MWREG1]

this song is fat, fast, fabulous --> simply perfect ;)

[baaboy83]

hey wanna have a night stand with me !???

you are my type !

[BecauseImSando]

Can you please provide sheet music or tutorial because that cover is amazzzzing!

[samboguitarist]

FUCKING AWESOME!

[SpankyWhispette]

Very loud the whole time.

[AnarchalPatriarch]

I commend your singing voice.

[fuzmiq]

So very nice. Well done. 

[christaLikesACDC]

You, sir, are a boss.

[airsoftplayer8]

i enjoyed it none the less lol

[madeonamacbookpro]

Dude, Sorry bout my comment, its great, great job

[nazsmith1]

Jeeeeeesus. How fast do you play that?! It is mental!!

[BrostiBrost]

you look like dennis in its always sunny in philadelphia!

[masonvail123]

fail

[DerHellRazor]

Fuck you. And all you assholes saying it's too fast. It's not. He's playing it, and when playing a BennySF Song you play it faster to learn it.

It's awesome

[masonvail123]

i didn't say it was to fast. i just found that a few of the sections were spotty with the tempo...........and now that i look at it again, i barely see it anymore.......so SORRY gawd get on the rag man

[tikalal]

The rhythm isn't very intuitive on this song and trying to play it that way results in fail. I'd really like to se you learn this properly and play it again.

Your voice and ability is there, but it sounds like you didn't learn it properly.

[madeonamacbookpro]

Too Fast....

[alliejoho]

i concur!

[LetsShredSomeViolin]

sick dude

[EliianS]

THIS IS GREAT!

[U2fan24]

YIKES! You sound sooo much like him it's scary! Great job and great song!

[SixPantsMaloney]

I think the piano and vocals are SOLID.

I think the timing is off at times. Just a little work with the metronome and you'd be spot-on.

Nice work.

[RageAholic6377]

Ben Folds is a fucking master. I love that guy.  This would make him proud. GREAT job, man.

[3willow7]

WOW you're an AWESOME pianoist-(?)

and you sound like EXACTLY like him

[bigasssuperstar]

Sounds fabulous ... especially good on an actual piano there...

[pfmf03]

Nice work pal!!!

[imxpnsv]

i am your huge fan...

[moodapiller]

i weigh 170 how huge are you?

[imxpnsv]

haha i am only 175cm/61kg sorry LOL

[powderfinger4ever]

that was FREAKING INSANELY AWESOME MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST COVER I'VE HEARD YET, dude, you freakin' rock,

please keep it up, that was just pure awesome.....you've inspired me to one day try and learn this song when i'm good enough, cause now i know it can be played and sound sooooooooo good accapella (if thats the correct word).

Excellent solo as well man.

5 stars

[Chezmat1]

you have a good voice! get a band together.

[Brian12327]

if you just practice the piano a little more this would be the best cover i heard. you have a very nice voice.

[Gashaponcito]

you sing very good keep up the good work

[salvadorr88]

that laugh in the beginning was a little creepy..

[crapy973]

Your good, just slow it down,

it's a natural instinct to speed up when playing

[yiny46]

he's doing the bonaroo version...lol thats like 2X speed

[colombo259]

That was a great show, but I was messssed up for it. Still remember it though, lol

[yumskittles93]

Your voice is awesome! And you're beastly at the piano, I liked how you semi-changed some parts. Good job!

[TrustNo121000]

great singing! parts of the piano are pretty different from the original, but i guess that's what makes it a cover.

[moviedemos]

you definitly sped this up alot, which is pretty impressive, good job, great piano :)

[CoveredByRegret]

Impressive!

[soysoo]

OMG ! i love your voice and your play style!

that's AWESOME !!!!!!!

[rezzacool]

it was good...

but not gr8...

im sorry but way to fast, way to messy, (i know thats ben folds style, but he makes it messy in a good way) and it was just bad..

but ur singing though is amazing!

[bosoxsuk0616]

shut the fuck up its you tube you faggoty fox

[rezzacool]

what difference does it make if its youtube? i said his piano playing wasnt that good and it should be worked on to compliment his voice. the fact that its on youtube has no relevance to what i said at all! I think your the one who should 'shut the fuck up you faggoty fox'. How are you going to respond to that? By calling me a faggot who spells correctly on youtube??

[bosoxsuk0616]

im not even trying to spell correctly its just that im that much better than you you faggoty fox. Look at you you can say the word relevance. OOOOOH BIG GUY. you'll never amount to anything in you're pitiful existence and you're probaly like of eastern European dissent.cut it out you Faggoty fox

[haitsraechill]

i love your singing.

[sexzzzylady]

very nice.....:D

[skulldaggery]

I'm more impressed by the singing than the piano playing... it's a fast piece, but most people suck at singing. and you did a good job i think.

[rugby16girl]

wow. that was amazing. the song may be really complex, and trust me it is, but you did an amazing job. there was one part near the end where your hands were moving so fast it was hard to keep track of them.

[Kenniejellybean]

OMG! I'm 13 and I've always wanted to play the piano, I have been practicing without a tacher and I'm not NEARLY as good as you, I want to be able to play the piano as well as you someday! You are such an inspiration to me! And don't put yourself down like that, you did great!! Thank you!

[Regulator1332]

yeah man i think if you got the tempo under control you'd nail it.

[fatcat4112]

you pushed the tempo and its arpeasheoes not slides and slides down :P but great job i liked it :)

[dontcallmeQRACKA]

very good cover

[chadisawesomeness]

your voice is amazing

[semostud13]

amazing!!! Love this song! Props to you!

[XXwolfofmibuXX]

I thought this was great, some of you guys are being synical jerks. This Guy made a great rendetion, by no means did he ruin the song. Well done.

[nezkeys79]

your voice is pretty good man but your piano need more practice.

[m0u53m4t]

Woah, jealous of your voice :P

Mine is about... an octave and a half lower :|

Nice though :)

[yowassupbro2]

I'm shocked everyone's digging this. You ruined a great song.

[TheOnlySDF]

I COMPLETLY agree

[Lizigurl]

everyone's digging this because he can play the piano very well...and he didn't ruin a great song, he's doing his own rendition of it. ease up a little.

[orderandnumber]

Actually, yeah, listening to it now it really isn't that good.

[KitsuneKaiChan]

Are you kidding me? You're 50 times better than I'll ever be at the piano. How long have you been playing? You're amazing.

[SheriffTanner]

@orderandnumber dont listen to him order. minus some tempo problems it was a pretty nice rendition. it wasnt verbatim what ben plays, but a nice cover nonetheless. what i'd like, though, is for you to mic the piano and vocals separately. your vocals were totally overmatched by the dynamics of the keys, and at the times when i could really hear your voice it sounded pretty good. with a little studio work this cover could be kickin'!

[ballerinakay]

@orderandnumber i thought it was excelent... wish i could play that! :/

[spidima]

beast!!

[FunksUTube]

You rocked it! I love the false start and laugh.

[musicmanya]

spectacular.favourited.omg u kick ass man

[o0Lush0o]

This is SO good... I had a big smile the whole time watching this vid... thanks for posting!! x

[Caboosetm88]

Very nice cover, I can play this song (or a simplified version i worked out) but the vocal line is far too high for me :S

[262442]

You sound a LOT like Ben!!! I love your voice and your playing!

[Lizigurl]

wow...Great Job!! you are incredible. you played flawlessly and sang very well! kudos to you!!

[buzzbros2002]

a bit too much sugar and caffiene there dude? very nice

[huntmandude2]

great vocals!!!

[thepianist67]

liked the laugh at the beginning, if you need some ben folds sheet music, i have a lot of it

[Benfivelive]

I loved it SO SHOULD YOU! the secret to the complexities you speak of lol is To have fun :) you seem all tense, you know how u have fun, MEMORIZE SO WELL YOU CAN PLAY RITE HAND AS LEFT AND LEFT AS RIGHT BACKWARDS BLIND Folded. don't ever think you cant do shit that gets you know where, trust me i was with some people like that and it held me back.

[CrabtasticBudgie]

WAY TOO MODEST IN YOUR DESCRIPTION!!!!! How long have you been playing? You've got a great vocal range, too. I hope you can write, too, because it would be a damned shame to never know what's up there in your genius head!

[escaperoute1]

NICELY done. 5 stars.

[bundidubois]

dude you are fucking awesome... i just wish u would lose that hat....

you look too.... american?

[kamikrazi123]

typing at 1:00. Hope u do the cool chopping solo

[thegreatescape13]

Awesome job man...a little faster than the Ben Folds version, but still spectacular.

[udagelapoi]

nice, but gotta maintain the tempo dude

[JDillaYO]

weak homie

[pillowfight1221]

are u kidding? that was amazing

[thmountaineer2010]

wtf was with that laugh at the beginning? that was kinda weird...but piano playin was decent, too fast tho

[funkyfreshguitar]

That was awsome!! Keep playing, you'll be great one day

[bushofthecrazies33]

well when i learned army i thought i could never learn another ben folds song again...but man you nailed that one

[newfie2345]

....

amazing

[Raven72563]

MY PIANO PRINCESS!

[HouseMagician]

wow  good job dude

[myangelandI]

That's AWESOME! You can really play the piano and sing!

[rossjlennox]

Really good... but for fuck's sake slow down!

[dross5489]

holy balls you've got Ben's voice!

[seagaia]

It's pretty easy to play if you've got an arrangement of some sorts. Maybe a week or less to learn? It's really fun to play nonetheless...

[sk8tolive123]

That insanely good! I wish I could play the piano :(

[nessup]

Godlike. I plan on learning this :D

[uhlisuhf]

wow awesome job. love this song.

[Hypocyber]

Wow awsome, you even sound like nicely done =D

[s9pohann]

awesome!!

how long did it take to learn it?

[orderandnumber]

oh sheesh.  I've known this one for years and years, to tell you the truth I don't remember how long it took to learn it. But in all honesty the song itself isn't too hard, it just sounds really cool.

[kokikiritanpo]

awesome.I wanna listen more.

[luvimil]

Freaking Awesome!!!!

[Dragonrocks]

That's pretty good, I like how you looked puzzled when you were playing "You'll be sorry." that was funny.

[orderandnumber]

It was because I was getting the timing alllll wrong.

[Dragonrocks]

Yea, I figured it was, it was still good though.

[ragtimejim]

very good, i put up a cover of this same song thats not nearly as good as yours./ lol. You did some interesting stuff to it, like that intro, did you figure it out by ear did you use music, i did it by ear

[00BennytheJet00]

dude, that was fucking sweet. you got skills. i dunno how you can sing and play like that at the same time

[sweetxgrace]

This is one of my favorite songs! Fantastic job!!

[bensfault]

Great job. Cool piano version of the song. The mid-part ("You will be sorry someday...") is freaking difficult to play and sing, isn`t it. I missed the original Ben scream at the end ;-)

btw:

Check out our cover versions

Greets from Germany

[apm5016]

very well done..I just gotta ask, did you plan the laugh at the beginning? haha

[orderandnumber]

no, I just seriously messed up when I first started playing it. but it does look kind of fake; I do try to be pretty expressive when I'm on camera, so it's not totally boring for whoever's watching it.

[dmaze0011]

Man that was awsome, you sound just like Ben. Great work.
