Ben Folds Five Freaking Out DVD (end)

[qwertydeluxe]

...drugs.

[Jaykay1029384756]

"Oh god damn... shit shit, that's cool"

[mcadamsdj]

Ben + crack = this video.

[RyanTritiniMusic]

@mcadamsdj Ben + crack = <3

[Lennart2512]

Ben realy rocks

[60YearsOfSorrow]

Holy Shit.

[cranie4]

I saw the Five back when they were still playing tiny club gigs, later when the second album came out, and towards the end. No band rocked harder up until they started to fall apart. I remember I felt the end was near when they played Horde fest and Ben had his wife at the time running the lights. And they were out almost the entire time and Robert was pissed. After the set Darren and Robert came out to sign stuff and Ben acted like a diva and made everyone wait. They broke up soon afterwards.

[BowProStudios]

I don't get it, were they like super pissed at each other? I guess since it's from 1999 which was the very end of their band's life span.

[stmirren37]

wow.

[senorabraham]

Note to self: Getting fucked up the ass sucks. Thanks, Ben. Godspeed.

[supersingerevan]

Anyone who was drunk or high during this is no Ben Folds fan. Ben is highly against drugs, and often speaks about how much easier it is to do music sober.

He just felt like being weird and crazy and ridiculous and funny right then :P He kinda likes doing things that are ridiculous and funny, if you haven't noticed. He's a showman.

[suburiboy]

that was kinda scary.

[iheartunotreally]

Saying he knows how to play the piano is an understatement..

[2010profile]

So it's not that hard to make a song that sounds like Rage Against the Machine? I wonder how he felt the next morning. I guess he is just expressing his feelings then drunk playing cop. I'm surprised he didn't get arrested for disturbing the peace.

[jegerfrank]

Now I know I'm a Ben Folds fan!

..Because I watched THIS, and I still dig him.

[TheMusicvent]

Holy shit..... he's wearing a Muppets tie.

[Grrreg23]

The five was just soking in fucking rock

Hahah man ben had to be stoned

[popcornlover100]

wtf. hahaha i love ben folds, but this is pretty intense.

[yowassupbro]

this concert rocked, can I get it officially?

[urbster1]

No. Unofficially, check torrent sites and ebay. The rest of the DVD used to be on youtube but I think it has been taken down. Ben Folds Five Freaking Out Tokyo 1999

[Hoffman1222]

Pause at 4:18 Robert Sledge is just laughing.

[Scoota97]

I don't understand it... IT MUST BE ART!!!

[fptlax2]

are they high?

[schemes16]

crazier than usual actually lol

[Chezmat1]

"you're all gonna get fucked up the ass! you, and you! and all of you!" omg this is the most craziest/funniest/scariest thing I have ever seen ben folds do.

[rezzacool]

I have been an EXTREME ben folds fan for aaagesss noww.. and WOT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!!

[shaynabuzzella]

@rezzacool my exact thoughts

[angelbelow182]

was this their last show or something?

[torged19]

i don't think so

[bigspud73]

i wish the rest of the DVD was still up, it was a good gig, ignoring some of the slightly-off backing vox

[rachel24442]

[angelbelow182]

[sarahmitp]

[urbster1]

It used to be posted on youtube but it looks like it was taken down. I was not the one who posted it, only this last end clip. if you want to find a copy, check bittorrent sites

[ElddirEmSiht]

I giggled so hard when he launched into the bit from For Those of Y'all Who Wear Fanny Packs. What a beautiful moment. XD

[JonTerp]

He was really on something.

[crazymilkygoatpirate]

God, Ben Folds. This is proof that you can do pretty much anything and it just makes me love you more.

[h0merg0mez]

Everyone in Japan has to be wondering what is going on.

[weteyemoon]

what the hell is wrong with him here? he's absolutely a lunatic. haha

[meecrofilm5]

HAHAH. Man, I wish I kenw about Ben Folds Five when they were still around....

[ladyveins]

thank you sir, may i have another?

...wow

[nessup]

holy. fucking. shit.

This is a side of Ben I've NEVER seen.

[Tamadrummer006]

Yeah, when he was with Ben Folds Five, they were really crazy, but by the end of the band, they had calmed down a lot. They did this kinda shit all the time before that though.

[JonTerp]

He had a son, that really changes who you are.

[capsfan12345]

wow................

[markholden308]

sounds fuct

[knoxIII]

messed up

[BcrossII]

I've got to say, this makes me want to become a white rapper.

[molotovcandy]

Where can I find a torrent of this? I've looked everywhere...

[urbster1]

you might check ebay or other online sites to see if anyone is selling bootleg copies of the dvd. some private torrent trackers might carry it as well, i'm not sure. i believe i found this copy over a year ago, so it might be hard to find right now.

[EricTheDerek]

i just found a torrent on Dimeadozen. you have to register though, and there can only be a certain number of users, so just keep clicking sign up every couple minutes for a while and you'll be able to sign up.

[GibsonL65]

what an ending

[cbono69]

Reminds me of bono..I love it all...lol

[19flightrock]

awesome...

[pedropleasure]

where the hell can i get this dvd????

[urbster1]

check for bootlegs on ebay or check various bittorrent sites.

[jsulikk]

ben folds is my hero. you think im sayin that to be cool but i honestly mean it.god damnit that grove in the beggining fuck.

"getting fucked in the ass sucks dick"

agreed.

[shattermage]

That's fucking hilarious!! I LOVE IT!! XD XD

[masonvail123]

is that a mike or some sort of brush he's using?

[urbster1]

it's the mic

[supercoolryan1212]

this is awesome.

[LCsaint22]

what the hell was  that

O_0

lmao.

[busstopratbag]

the Japanese fans must have no idea what is going on

[ohnonotrose]

ahhhhh funny stufff

[timmyj233]

I love nothing more than experimentation with the performance medium. How can you turn down the opportunity to scream at a few thousand Japanese people of their imminent arse fucking?

[kevMAN20]

If you want some really crazy stuff buy Fear of Pop, Vol. 1. It's a whole cd of crazy shit but it's more like regular music. Just check it out.

[themilkster2000]

When the FIVE were together they would do this sort of thing from time to time. Saw them do it at the London Astoria once, i think after having played sexy mother fucker by prince. It was hilarious.

[angelg2392]

what.

the.

hell.

thank god ben doesn't act like that now.

[googledad123]

ben folds these days just sings songs about his kids. This stuff is much cooler/funnier.

[Dragonrocks]

Yea, but those songs are beautifully written. Granted he doesn't really do much fun stuff like this, yea. But that doesn't take away from how cool he is. I mean he still puts up with people calling Rock this Bitch every concert. I think he needs to do a jazz album, but thats just me personally.

[TheMusicvent]

Atcually, If you've heard any Ben Folds album other than "Songs of Silverman", you should know that that is just not TRUE! I mean, he does plenty of fun stuff nowadays. The only difference is that most of it is more mature than the Five.

[Embekewl]

That DVD was appropiately titled. That was truly amazing! I love you ben!

[mingusfan]

I'm going to have to agree with Scotto263, but I'm going to take it a step further and say that this video is the single greatest thing I have ever seen.

[Scotto263]

the greatest video on youtube

[youthbrigader]

hahahaah!

[jasonlion54]

Thank you sir. May I have another?

[mattnyr]

I have no idea what I just saw. I've been a fan of BF5 for a while and I've never seen anything like this. It starts off pretty funky, but just gets out of control at the end.

[TheMusicvent]

The DVD was entitled "Freaking out", so......

[Silver26J]

My gosh, this is totally different to any footage of ben I have ever seen... imagine if he still behaved the same way??? hahaha

[BenFoldsFive]

He does behave like this on occasion.

[1classified1]

this vid gives me a cream dream

[pearlman]

Yeah, my band is like this.

[tarmin]

Hmm, it's videos like this that need a 6th star: "Plain weird". Cool video, thanks.

[tapsX3]

WOW I didn't know they were so fuckin strange in concert. And they broke up? Oh ben ben ben

[Enaku]

I love you, Ben.

[andyplayhouse]

that was cool

[ridcullylives]

Tee many martoonis, Ben?

[mmartin1133]

this shit is amazing

[rpgamera]

That is messed up. "Thank you, sir, may I have another?"

Dude. ><

[ColdandComposed]

I love this DVD, really makes me depressed that I didn't know of BF5 back when they were together.

[diomed2]

its still interesting to watch. im sure theres some good songs worth watchin

[weakinduhknees]

dude they are so out of control, its great. bff was way ahead of their time.

[fauxtweeterboa]

he fucks that piano the fuck up. I HAVE A STRING!!!! THANKS, JOE!! i hope this is the thing chris was telling me about....im in the process of watching it..
