Wow. Ok I have heaps of praise for you guys but there's one thing that really bothers me. In... I don't know what to call it, the main chord, I guess, rooted in B... there is NO THIRD (d#). Please, please take that third out of your arrangement. To me there's such a big difference in feeling between a major chord and an open fifth, and honestly I think the open fifth is what makes this song what it is.
@Bendesho Not sure if I'm thinking of what you're referring to here, but I always use a d# when I play the song. You mean what's played in the very beginning of the song, right? I think Ben does a sort of grace note where he goes from a d to a d#, then the A.
@AnarchalPatriarch You're right, Ben does do a grace note like you're talking about. I'm talking about when he goes to an A, like you said: "he goes from a d to a d#, then the A". That A is part of an open fifth B7 chord. It has a B, an F#, and an A. This group's arrangement adds a D# into it, making it NOT an open fifth but instead a B major seventh, which I think sucks. In the dozens of recordings I've heard Ben playing this song, he has NEVER played that as a B major 7. Always open 5th.
wow this is excellent! you guys really nailed the solo!!! i'm seeing ben at the sydney opera house tomorrow, man i really hope he plays this song now...keep it up!
Going for about $3,000, I bought one, it's not worth it not for that kind of money, any unit you buy, get a TDS meter as well and monitor the performance of you system to ensure you are getting what you paid for.
Again, Simple H2O 7 Stage Reverse Osmosis would not be my choice, for under $1000 you can get other systems that will perform just as well. Again get a TDS meter.
this is the best group by far. great moves, great sound. you guys are awesome and ben folds would be CRAZY not to choose you. best of luck. ill buy the cd if you guys are on it!

Terrific. shoulda made the record. I guess ben just ran out of space, and i think he wnated to include his newer stuff, like any artist.
This is one of the best two or three folds acapellas ive seen, and ive seen a bunch. im sort of addicted.
thanks.

Be careful what you buy and how much yo spent.
BE AWARE of:
