Ben Folds - Stool Toss

[finsfan9049]

Am I the only one who clicked on this video expecting to see Ben Folds throwing his feces on stage?

brilliant

It exploded. :D Ben Folds exploded a stool with his piano. See his brilliance?! XDD

@Crazynessful He calls his music "punk for sissies". Unlike most people, Brick was not the first song I heard by Ben, it was One Angry Dwarf, the first track off W&EA and actually being big into punk at the time I would never have thought to buy it.

That is NOT a pop song. Hearing him literally beating the shit out of his piano with genuine anger mesmerized me. Once I found out that last sound in the song was him screaming and hurling his stool at the keys, I knew he was the real deal.

how stupid, elton never threw it at the piano

[Bullzeye95]

@sunnyviewmusic Elton's also too old and fat to even stand up while he plays these days. But he did lots of similarly crazy shit to his piano back when he was Ben's age, trust me. It's what's supposed to happen, a natural channeling of emotion. This just so happens to be a revenge song so he gets mad as he plays it.

Piano vs Stool: The piano won.

[manifestgtr]

haha i wouldnt call that a toss so much as it was a stool fastball....as well as a huge headache for his piano tech possibly....i know there are some nancies who look at this and whine because you should "respect" your instruments....most instruments were meant to be loved hard from time to time so go fist yourselves, you self-righteous giblet heads
