Ben Folds - Myspace Gig - Bastard

[squaresoft01]

Mother. Fuckin. Ben. Folds.

[1MoreAsian]

Gonna see this god in a couple days...can't wait to throw requests at him YES!

[Sociologyboo]

4 peoplem act like they know, when they don't know.

[qwertydeluxe]

...where'd all those guitars come from?

I can't imagine what it must've been like to sit on the floor behind some keyboards and sing with Ben.

[MM2Ghost]

You know, i have seen very few musicians command a crowd like that. Really breath taking. He should rank among the greats like Freddy Mercury, Billy Joel, Aerosmith etc.

If fact, he does in my book.

[SuperJdizzles]

4 people didn't like this........ and they're stupid.

[Gibsonlove1055]

20 flight rock...nuff said

[q0zi]

Epic performance is epic

5:38 He makes 5/4 sound normal.



[q0zi]

Probably the best thing to come out of the 90s.

[fillXinXblankXstares]

I love when he interacts with the crowd. He's an excellent performer!!

[mileyraycyrusfan411]

Love it! The 20FlightRock dedication in the beginning was pretty sweet.

[WoodenBadger77]

AWESOME! Now I also have to give a shout to "20flightRock" because his request gave rise to this GREAT version of one of my favorite BF tunes! :)) haha

[ThrowDown]

@WoodenBadger77 "Twentyflightrock" was me...and I'm a she. ;)

[WoodenBadger77]

@ThrowDown oh. thanks for the correction! :) and after watching this again...WOW! What a performance!

[electro676]

Killer improve in the beginning ^^

[joshcilldara11]

what a legend

[StacieLassila57]

3:50 And magic was born!

[psychopeepers]

@StacieLassila57

I love "Bastard" as it was recorded, but I agree, this live section is spine tingling for me!

[coreykember]

awesome.

[marcelcruzeiro]

Great great!!!

[KyleJS30]

This is such an amazing jam.

[lemonsys]

distortion on bass is the shit

[drgnfrddd]

That's really cool. I've never heard of this guy before, but I like him already. Cool song and gig.

[CandyLeighxo]

I'd kill to see this man live he's a genius and the way he got into this career one of those things you know is set by fate

[MrMagneticPelican]

saw him in bellingham, WA and yes he is a genius

[ZadorBador]

@CandyLeighxo how is he got into his career ?

[selfishjean8823]

[imnotaretard]

[lciaravi]

[tarynnhailey247]

[chrisfinest1]

[tayla0432]

[13Bassmann]

i just love it when goes on after the part when everyone sings

[13Bassmann]

awesome

[MTJM92]

any one know what effect that synth has on it and what scale he would have been playing?

[callmebetty89]

It's a Moog, probably some voice he made himself.

[Lenny1887]

Unbelievable good song!

[twomoonrocks]

i would so love to be 20flightrock....

[frege666]

what kind of setup does that bass player have?

effects?

[Skaguy34]

besides playing clean, its just a distortion pedal basically.

[wsdrummer06]

maybe a big muff

[LokiLeezard]

set correctly of course

[biffydeano]

What a genuis this guy is. The Rockin' The Suburbs album is fantastic and i listen to it regulary. Got to catch him next time he's in the UK.

[NKR89]

He has a great sense of humor. In his younger years, he wanted to act as a career. But like always, he turns out to be an amazing musician. He's great. Period. I want to meet him sometime. I live in Nashville, and can't seem to 'accidentally' fall in to him =/

[NKR89]

Yeah, you're right. He does.

[ReinholdMessner1]

didn't he say the close your eyes, close your ears part the other way round on the album?

[chosen0ne2]

yea your right he says it the other way around in this

[trashhook]

...the more you know you know you don't know s**t. I dig that line... great video

[Hwiazen]

dude! when he does the rapid octaves at 5:51 up the piano, thats so awesome!!!!

[oasis512512]

Woot slap!

This song rocks.

[blueIbeauty]

did he improvise the 20flightrock thing?

[apocobring]

yes. it was 20flightrock who requested the song on myspace and he did a little dedication to him.

[ieatbc42]

HAHA i would love to have posted that comment 20 flight rock!

[diomed2]

i cant believe you want the bass turned down, its not even that loud

[InsertBandNameHere]

this song has one of the greatest bass lines ever

[perfectdrugg1991]

arrrrrrrre you serious?

[benlabenski]

solid ending

[tflynn17]

dammit someone turn that bass down, it's covering a kickass piano solo!!!!!

[SirZeke]

i think the bas should always be the loudest thing. but im a drummer so that could be why. this is a pretty solid bass line tho especialy with whatever the fuck he's using.

[bigmouthstrikes1212]

i could watch and listen to ben all day

[xenolating]

Hah. I like this song.

Sends tingles down my spine for some unexplained reason.

[ParA7x]

"Twenty Flight Rock" should be turned into a song, rofl

[moyboy06]

amazing

[wills1000000]

on myspace im 20flightrock!!

[ThrowDown]

i'm actually the twentyflightrock that's mentioned in this video.

jus sayin. i saw ben folds at his concert with the houston symphony and at the meet and greet "after party" i told him.

[SirZeke]

lucky. did he still have that constant cheery humor about him?

[solskjaerutd]

They have said in the past that Bob Marley was a preacher or prophet, not just a musician. If this is true then so is Ben Folds, every tune has some amazing meaningful lyric of some description. The man is nothing short of genius!

[FarrellSxC]

Ben Folds is god personified

[warrior7593]

Indeed..

[Alextyphus]

ye hes alrite aint he

[Nickel873]

Ben folds is a genius.

[NastyFast]

damn, how'd i miss this dude?

[mannydavies85]

hahah i love himm

[teague2]

rofl. It's like an advertisement for a groove station.

[deussuperetempus]

Don't touch that dial, it's got jam on it!

[almightyjimbob]

i love the 20 Flight Rock jam. i was at the show and i sat next to the guys who started the "20 flight rock" chant. occasionally you can see the back of my head in the videos, but that's it. good times, good times.

[crushme41dmb]

Very awesome- I love watch the idiot who kept strumming the guitar around 4:50'ish . . . haha, he looks so embarassed.
