Ben Folds doesn't only play piano. He plays all of the instruments in in first solo record "Rockin' The Suburbs." He also play multiple instruments in the studio for various albums.
this song is so addicting. I like this version a lot. Ben Folds is frickin' amazed. It is indeed weird seeing him play bass, although I know that he was the bassist in his other band before ben folds five
@SchmuckoftheIrish My god, I was about to say the same thing. Thornewill accompanying Folds's piano, would be a sight. Seeing as everything Gibbard touches is gold, he's a must too. Well there ya go, there's two people ready for the new Bens.
Phaarrrkkkkkk, how is it possible to be inspired to much. Whenever I hear this song, my breath is taken away. Call me an emo all you want. But that's how it is.
notice how they all cheered when ben set down the guitar and finally set down at the piano. He's good at the guitar....but the piano is such a better choice in this case.
I listen to this song all of the time. It’s just comforting and speaks to me for some reason!
You know you're good when you can "waste" an amazing song like this on a low-key EP instead of putting it on your album
Ben Folds owns any song ever touched. Period.
wow this song is fucking amazing especially when they switch instruments sooo awesome.

He plays bass on the Rockin' the Suburbs album, but on his more recent solo albums, his live bassist Jared Reynolds plays.
musical genious
Love it!
10 year reunion tour plz
I love that you can see him look anxiously over at Ben Lee, hoping he switches to the guitar fast enough.
Supergroup!
i like the album version a thousand times more
Ben Folds went to college for percussion, but I think it's safe to say he can play any instrument he touches.
Why did the music video get scrubbed?
God I wish they would of toured in North America
I know he plays bass on rockin the suburbs, drums too. and i think he maybe played everything on a couple of songs from his EPs
no its because he is beast
OMG.....................................
the piano makes the song great
it was good before, but with the piano.... thumbs up
Does ben kweller play drums for them?

it;s like the Beach Boys gone "wild"! ;) But seriously i love Ben Folds stuff! :)
and Ben Harper?
it's funny because folds got a full tuition scholarship for percussion in college
this is an awesome song. I think it would sound cool if the "ba ba ba ba baaa" part was replaced with "bla bla bla bla blaaaa"
and Ben Lee takes the bass. It becomes BF5
ben lee
two completing different songs not just different versions lol
I have to agree... It seems to lose some of its dynamism.
But I do like this song
Folds looks oddly young here.
hahahaha
i think ben kweller and ben folds are amazing song writers....but for some reason i never thought "the bens" were all that good.
it's too bad because Ben Folds is actually an awesome bass player
ben kweller ben lee ben folds.....and ben harper???
Ben Kenobi
I didn't like this performance but the recorded version is a really good song
how in the world does jessica simpson even know who the bens are.............
