Ben Gibbard Rants about the Black Eyed Peas

[hippiegirlsmile]

buying a magazine..

[velvethome]

hater, i love it.

[anjipeace]

My God, Death Cab For Cutie should be announcing themselves at the airport.

[beatdownbuffalo]

ha, "you're flights gonna be a good flight. you're flights gonna be a good good flight, i gotta feeling."

[xBlAcKxxIcEx]

He's probably frustrated that a "band" that is....decent at best, is getting more attention than them, who obviously have more overall musical talent and ability.

But then again, it's like comparing fast food to fine cuisine.

[VSHawkins]

@xBlAcKxxIcEx i guess that's a possibility, but death cab is so against the whole music-food-chain thing. ben gibbard writes some kick ass lyrics, and then they work together to make the actual music. and since they have the option, they release it to the world. they'd be just as happy living in their parents' basements making the same beautiful music they do today. or at least that's what i'd like to believe.

[zexionsmexion1]

Thank you for making me smile yet again Ben. Making me feel so much better.

[anjipeace]

ROFL If I saw Benn Gibbard a the airport, I would be a mess!!!!!!! and yeah "JUST STAY OUT OF THE POST OFFICES AND AIRPORTS!" lol. ben gibbard in da postal service :) how ironic

[Electircteen16]

Guys lay off @kittysforme I didnt expect him to swear either

[MusicBug13]

"I'm like what the fuck is that."

"it's like I go to the fuckin' airport and I gotta hear about the Black Eyed Peas in my fuckin' face"

ben gibbard<3

[jimijimi1029]

Holy shit ive heard that PA announcementat o'hare before! So fuckin annoying!

[inlovewithmgmt]

well, 7 people like the black eyed peas.

i personally prefer ben. all the way. :)

[inlovewithmgmt]

lol this is amazing

...what the fuck is that?!

[FunkMisterNate15]

yea fuck the black eyed penises

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan Can we be friends? Why do we have to hate?

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan Duh idiot, you catch on quick.

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan I hate niggers fags and jews. go Lakers

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan That could have been the gayest thing I've ever read.

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan You're a fucking house nigger.

[laker2125]

@LoneLawMan You from Canada eh?

[ShipWreckOnShore]

Ben Gibbard is my hero!!!

[kittysforme]

Jeez I had no idea Ben had such a potty mouth! I've always wanted to go to a Death Cab concert but now I'm not so sure... I want to listen to music not be cussed at about a band I don't care about!

[007monkeyman2]

@kittysforme Dude, you're a pussy. He hardly swore at all

[xquickstrykex]

@kittysforme what are you 5 years old?

[usernamesaretricky]

@laker2125

haha, glad you said you were joking - dang... sarcasm is hard to pick up on on the internet...

[CillaLuvzU]

lmao....I love Ben Gibbard

[laker2125]

Fergie has more talent in her pinkie finger then this guy has in his hole body. Who is this guy anyway? he's a nobody.

[SlwRiot4ZroKanada]

its a good thing you're a troll but i actually will enjoy getting you off with this. he is a member of the postal service, dntel, death cab for cutie.

i mean, the black eyed peas are fuck-awful anyways. i could bitch for an hour about how bad their "imma b" song is but I dont because i have better things to do.

[laker2125]

Never heard of any of those bands....Who has sold more records? Thats what i thought.

[GibsonRWB]

@laker2125 how do you know shes more talented if you dont even know who the guy is? hah you have a lack of logic

[laker2125]

Exactly I don't know who he is and nobody else does, which means he's less talented idiot.

[GibsonRWB]

How big you get has only alittle to do with talent. Black eyed peas are just the type of shit music lots of people listen to so the media advertizes them more. Hes way more talented, he just isnt the stlye youd see on mtv, therefor not as known. once again, work on that logic

[laker2125]

Hey idiot, look at my favorites, i'm joking.... dumbass

[GibsonRWB]

@laker2125 hahah i did, and i must say im suprised to see miley cirus having a hoe down? haahahhaha

[laker2125]

I belive the name of the video is miley cyrus shaking her ass to hoedown. See i'am not a faggot like you and i enjoy watching girls shake their asses. You listen to avenged sevenfold and silverstein. I win.

[laker2125]

hahahahahahahah

[skwurls]

hes less talented? goddamn i feel sorry for you, have fun living a life with a horrible taste of music ben gibbard is a genius.

[iwikepie]

you really need to be slapped across the face dont you?

[Fischkopp666]

@laker2125

:D its so funny how unknowing some people are xD

[laker2125]

@Fischkopp666 Hello is anybody there??? I was joking sweetheart, your kind of special arent you?

[LostColourz]

Haha, there's nothing wrong with him saying "like" a lot, I do it too. It's a pretty common speech impediment.

[angela1894]

He's racist.

[Shauzia3]

"Lets just stay out of the airports" XDD

That same announcement comes on in my airport, too.

[JoceWolfMoon]

Just when I thought Ben Gibbard couldn't get any awesomer... I see this. LMAO

[TheMoek1]

Wow the comment under this one is just fukn nasty nd retarded... =F

[prinznevsky]

I'd really like to see him and colin meloy in a naked jellofight, with the the winner decapitatating the loser, and then committing seppuku while simultaneoulsly masturbating and repeating the phrase "I am Kurdt Cobain...I am Kurdt Kobain..." and right when he ejaculates/dies of massive bloodloss, each of the respective winners bandmates follow suit, like the loyal retainers they are...

[Redsparrowe123]

I'de really like to see him and Colin Meloy make an album together. They could sing about ships to appease colin and the akwardness of young love via ben

[Swiftlygothedays]

It's so funny watching Ben rant and curse! I don't think I've heard him curse this much before...haha. And then he's freaking out! I used to like the BEP, but I think they've gone a bit too far especially after Fergie's success and stuff. I love Death Cab/The Postal Service and Ben. He's the perfect man.

[teenageindiefan]

really doesn't matter that he swears when talkin. read " i will follow you into the dark", and then say ben gibbard is not a natural poet. i fuckin dare ye.

[JinxyRoflcopter]

Ben Gibbard :D

My hero!

[SilentEcho33]

wow this guy is my hero

[MrFrogman311]

Black eyed peas in an airport is too much? What about Postal Service in a UPS commercial? Different context I know, but still whoring...He kicks ass so I don't really care what he does.

[jameswood1989]

Yeah they cant use the name the postal service with out doing that kinda crap UPS can stop them from using it if they want but they came to an errangement or somthing.

[schnarfel]

he curses a lot for being so poetic and so wonderful like you all bitches think he is. nice glasses douche. yeah reply, i won't see the reply, email account isn't mine. fuck you.

[smartinnyc]

Black Eyed Peas stink like yesterday's breakfast. Plus he's right, pop music shouldn't be shoved down peoples throats like that. In an airport you need something neutral like classical music OR Brian Eno's music for airports.

[HallowCreed]

i actually love this guy.

[battlehappy]

Oh dear, Mr. Gibbard. Something tells me that you're not going to tell your new wife that the "look and feel of cotton" is too much of a sellout. Also, you'll probably have to cut "Why You'd Want to Live Here" from your repertoire, as your new wife, um, lives there.

[NastyNatey]

any negative comments about Ben are probably going to be negative`d into oblivion before they have a chance to breathe.

[politik827]

haha i love watching these comments. for all of you who don't really know who ben gibbard is or his sense of humor, don't bother commenting on him being negative. ben is harmless. he was more or less just joking around. hahaha i hate when stuff like this is overanylized when people don't even know about ben.

[USCTrojan2004]

I agree. But, I do think Black Eyed Peas should be in the video for "Surprise You're Gay"

[victoriacamaj]

you're seriously fighting about a youtube video

you guys are lame

[fender35303]

why does this man feel the need to cover every song out there. and rant like a bitch

[vincentwhite2]

Cause he's the man

[bangxgae]

why are you commenting on all these videos saying the same thing.

why do you feel the need to give you two cents you fuckhead

[fender35303]

first of all this is the only Ben Gibbard video Ive commented on. Also ever heard of freedom of speech? Its my right to give my two cents if you dont like then burn in hell

[thirty6chambers]

that was an uninteresting and unfunny rant. that nancyboy needs better material. sure the black eyed peas are cultural parasites but saying retarded shit like "geez guyz, its really annoying, like cut it out" doesn't help neither and now they're both viewed as retards.

[ccatie456]

haha i love how much he curses.

if i saw ben gibbard at the airport i would die

[imjkyounoob]

That sucks... wouldn't you want to at least meet him before you drop dead?

[ccatie456]

i couldnt help myself from passing out

hopefully he could come to my rescue ;)

[MarijuanaGood4U]

uh...what's with the foul language?? :P

[episcopalpk]

I would have peed on myself if I saw Ben at the airport. No joke.

[Supaduck0]

it's arrogant of the black eyed peas to be in an airport like "hey everyone, we're the black eyed peas!" as if everyone's supposed to be all awestruck and like "omg! black eyed peas! :D"

fuck the BEP, ben gibbard owns them

[indiebird12]

everyone talks like this about bands, i hate this band or this band has a stupid song. no big deal. hes just like everyone eles. you know...

[saruhliz]

fuck! ben gibbard is the shit

[TheFadedGuitar]

Haha, he was good with profanity, but he kinda over did it

[goodmorningpie]

He said fuck like 3 times. How often do you pray?? Like seriously how religious are you to think that is bad? Not saying religion is bad because I have grown up christian but come on... Its just swearing.

[keepinitposi]

fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfu­ckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck­fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

[LOveTwiNz]

:D

LOL.

[RESPEKTHP]

he's great

[BotswanaBabyBullet]

FAIL

[LedSpencer2]

bahahaha

ben gibbard WINS

[ilovemutemath]

come on, ben.

was the excessive profanity necessary?

[downing0chris]

what are you, 4 years old? Never heard the word fuck before?

[ilovemutemath]

no, but it's unnecessary.

I would like to think that in a perfect world, no one uses vulgar language, and I used to think that Ben Gibbard would be part of that 'perfect world'. Guess not.

[SeagullTR3ARTIST]

theres NO perfect world

[EuReKaDeAdScOpE]

LOL who says profanity?

[ilovemutemath]

people who don't still use LOL.

[eagledynasty81]

lol you're a bitch, it's a rant for a reason you dumbass.

[ilovemutemath]

oh yeah?

I've heard people rant without cursing.

Oh well, if people are just going to be more and more whiny about it, I'm just going to stop.

You should, too, this isn't getting anywhere.

[eagledynasty81]

he uses curses words to put emphasis on his point. Curse word just makes a bigger point than a regular adjective. Sorry, go get your feelings hurt somewhere else.

[ilovemutemath]

My feelings aren't hurt, and if you have to use curse words to put emphasis on your point, then there must really not be anything worth ranting about.

Curse words just sound stupid.

I don't understand why everyone's making a big deal about this, when it honestly isn't.

And we all know the black eyed peas are God-awful.

STOP.

[SkotNewbower]

fuck.

[laurenradd]

haha irrelevant.

[ilovemutemath]

huh?

i was just saying that people of ben's status shouldn't have to curse to get his point across, especially with the lyrical genius that he has.

[TheBoyzFromIllinoize]

haha yeah yeah fuck the black eyed peas. we dont want their degenerate crap playin in our airports anyways

long live real music

long live ben gibbard

[coreyloserface]

not only is he musically talented...he is on the same comedic level as dwight from the office.

i must say, it is a two in one.

[bergasa]

Ben Gibbard ftw

[Sophisticatedkitty]

Seattle!!!!!!!!! My home town GO BEN!!

[Semir789]

ben is awesome. great artist. great guy.

[MoshpitManhattanx394]

lmao. that was awesome xD

[Amulius]

ROTFLOL! Ben gibbard is awesome.

[speedbandit2929]

hes a hybird of post grunge emotive from seatle

[Blackmofasa92]

I really want to have sex with Ben Gibbard.

[OMGiTHINK]

yay im the 17,000 viewer whoo

and omg he cursed i never would've thunk it

and i luv DCFC for life

[ellojello5896]

lol i know like 35423452345 times too

[Witzk01U]

Postal service > DCFC

[tfer717]

that almost doesnt make sense. thats like saying vaccum cleaners > sunny days

[smacateer]

wow

[beardfranz]

word.

[nathanp8790]

sunshines and rainbows.

[anewamericanclassic]

Eh, I disagree. But I know tons of people to agree with you. Wish they made more material.

[kikiforeals]

hahaha he's my hero

[finally555]

shut up

[TheBigMrPickle]

thank you.

[xxxsickheartsxxx]

hes not fat n hes not a hippy u probly dont even know who the hell he is stfu jackass.

[CatalystDM]

I lol'd

[GabbyGabGab736529]

z0mg. O________O

this is not real, yo.

:P

[WhooRah]

that is ben gibbard

[FoolyFool]

oO wtf?!

[AlwaysAliceAlways]

ha, he is amazing! its so true what he's saying too :P

i totally agree with inlovewithallusions - he is so incredible!!

[inlovewithallusions]

it's not enough that he's got the world's most soothing voice, and can write the most heartbreakingly beautiful pieces of music, but he's got a personality, too? :] sheesh. triple threat!

[loismustdie946]

its ironic that he says they should "stay out of the post office"

because the United States Postal Service actually sells postal service CDs on their website lol!.. or maybe he was actually referring to that haha

[icannotread]

oh god, i love you Ben Gibbard

[LennonxImagine]

he's the best. at the concert I went to he talked to the microphone stand :D

[Korsko5]

Wow. Nothing like I'd imagine him just talking.

[oXhpFanXo1115]

i like death cab as well as the black eyed peas D: XD but death cab is obviously SO MuCH BETTER. and ohare is the airport id go to xD so ill be hearing the black eyed peas soon ;O

[princess09031989]

sorry, missed the grammy mention in the vid description, etc. :)

[princess09031989]

well, it's kinda understandable ben would be annoyed with the b.e.p. 'cause their "my humps" beat "i'll follow you..." for a grammy; dcfc should have at least 1 grammy by now :)

[headman844]

i don't even think its b/c dcfc lost the grammy to them. i really dont think ben would even care that much about a grammy. it's just the fact that they make really shitty music and its EVERYWHERE

[gophins23]

jack blacks hair in school of rock looks like ben's in this video lol

[tfinvold]

this was pretty funny, everyone's had their little moments off like this, you look back, they're always funny corny moments.

[hugsandkisses69]

sooo no one noticed how long his hair is in this... haha its really long

[adertak]

man...that`s funny XDXDXD!

[vdiggie]

agreed.:)

[bibsly]

His rant about "not having a TV" from a show in Philidelphia was one of the funniest things I've ever heard

[MistaJubbJubb]

Damn... Ben got mad lol

[musichasm]

I <3 Ben!

[LFCwearethereds]

hahaha, Ben is awesome :]

[KingOfFools77]

i'm laughing so hard xD

[xolipicx]

wow, i never thought somebody who could write such BEAutiful lyrics rant like that

but it is pretty awesome

he does have a point there though, i mean they are even in the Urbz

ugga

[zanderbear]

funny

[angrygopher]

could someone tell me what he said, i couldn't understand what he said at one point so I don't really understand what the rant was about.

[funkmasterflex28]

basically he was at O'Hare airport in Chicago and he heard over the loud speaker "high we are the Black Eyed Peas welcome to Chicago". He was pissed about this

[3577]

and i wish i was there. rogue wave are amazing. it was a benefit for a rogue wave member who had a kidney transplant. Nada Surf was there too.

GOD

[3577]

BEP are dirt. ben is amazing.

[jamygabb]

We need to hear more rants by him, cos this was just hilarious.

[andrealivesinWA]

bahahahah ben ben ben. i love you

[yamcha23456]

aww, and they lost the grammy to them too. makes me sad
