One of the tightest 3 piece bands ever. Darren Jesse on drums has always been severely underrated - such a unique style. 🤌🔥

If Ben Folds Five doesn't get in the Rock and Roll hall of fame, that woulf be a god damn shame!

He won't but he's too good for the Hall of Shame anyway. The place is a joke.

It would be guitar racism. He's the only person who deserves to be in the rock hall of fame honestly.

So when I saw him in St louis back in 2009 he played this song. when it came to the crashing sound after Rhapsody in Blue he pretty much body slammed the keyboard - to the extent that a new piano was rolled out afterwards. it was one of the most incredible things I'd ever seen.

I've never known Ben Folds much, but I gotta say, the bass playing and that fuzz tone from Robert Sledge has been my gateway. I've been listening to the first album on repeat today.

I got to see Ben Folds a few years ago. Absolutely well spent. And had the very surreal moment of a hall full of white people singing B*tches Ain't S*it which is right up there with favourite crazy moments from live performances. He rocks so hard, which is unexpected when there's a piano on stage. I came away feeling my sox had absolutely been rocked off.
