Been a diehard fan of Billy's now for almost 45 years 😊The Stranger album is my all time favourite album ❤
He's a genius of walking through the aspect of the business and still keeping his artistry. He's a cerebral musician.
As both a huge billy joel fan and a huge Wayne’s world fan I loved the Meyers reference
This guy is a true legend 👍🏼
That is brilliance being explained. A master storyteller and musicians
Billy Joel is a legend
I love BJ , when I listen to his songs I go right back to being a 10 year old boy, listening to my parents albums sitting on the floor reading the album cover , I saw him April 9 2022 and he was so good at MSG ...Man it sucks to see all my favs get old....tis life!
It's fascinating to hear the meaning behind every part of the song, especially the sax solo.
Master Class Musician.
The best songs tell a story.
This is amazing. I just recently got into this song, it gives me the Bohemian Rhapsody/Band On The Run vibes which there are sections within a song. Now this makes more senses! B Side Abbey Road is my absolute fav, standing next to B Side of Dark Side of the Moon
Live long and prosper Billy
GREATEST, MUSICIAN, EVER!
He’s funny, too! :)
Even with an awful interviewer, absolute creative genius. Thats what it takes to write a masterpiece.
Billy I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that😅 album.... You sing about oyster Bay The village greens greasers excetera excetera... Listening to that album does something it takes you into the characters and you can see it all going down as you sing it...😅 That's how it was when I heard that album over and over again in the basement with my best friend Ben and two girls from Long... We stayed in that basement drinking wine and cheese and playing that album over and over😅 again.... Thanks Billy...
He has stated in other interviews that this is his personal favorite song that he wrote.
It was McCartney's original intent to have those songs as a medley on Abbey Road. It wasn't George Martin assembling things at random to make them fit. But nice to hear Billy Joel talk about his creation, it is no less than a masterpiece.
This is what I love about Billy Joel he is brilliant. that's the killer you can think you have to feel it is
This song takes me back to my oak creek ranch boyfriend Frankie jersey
W Piano Man ... Miglior songwriter
The thing that I admire the most in any kind of artist is the respect they have for their inspirations. I love how kind he is with Abbey road and everything he has done for keeping Beatlemania alive. 👏
Has anyone watched a video by Keith Souza with this song. It's beautifully filmed and has just been uploaded.
He put so much thought and creativity into his music that it's almost funny when he just does what every good musician does and just plays what "feels right" with no big philosophy or deeper meaning.
I have the classic New York accent Brender and Eddie
I’ve noticed in the song:
“A bottle of red, a bottle of white”,,
later in the song becomes
“A bottle of reds, a bottle of whites”
which made me think it went from a reference of different wines to a reference of different pills. I don’t know I could be wrong.
Brilliant songwriter and singer. Up there with James Taylor
Billy Joel has won a Gershwin Prize from the Library of Congress along with about only 15 or 16 other people so far. That's a big deal. He's a Legend.
You can really see Billy's "frustration" with the fact that this interviewer had not done his research and had no idea how Billy did in fact come up with "Scenes ....". It's a well-know, common story and this guy clearly had no idea of the brilliant songs history as evidenced by Billy's facial mannerisms and body language.
Okay people aren’t idiots for not knowing the entire story behind every song
Icy Fire no they certainly are not, but if you are a journalist of any type you go to an interview prepared, knowledgeable and well-informed. Clearly that is not the case here. Stay safe
Pretty sure this is part of the EPK for The Stranger's 30th-anniversary edition release. He got asked and answered the stories behind all the songs from the Stranger because he was advertising just that, so I don't think he's annoyed cause he would've known what questions were coming XD
part of a being a journalist is to ask questions the general public doesn't know in order to, you know, inform them. If everyone already knew all the answers we wouldn't be needin' questions, numbskull
Well, he is a New Yorker they default to annoyed and frustrated, it is just how he looks when he is paying attention to something I do not think he personally had anything against the Interviewer.
Why does this feel like a police interrogation??
Are those triumphs in the background
Can someone explain what he means by "drop the beat" here? Is he talking about at the end of the song? What's he mean by "rather than when you sing it?" Is he talking about some kind of instrumental version of the song?
That guy was an idiot, he didn’t know what he was talking about.
I see a British flag in the background.
There's not "dropped beat"! He just changed the time signature. A common musical practice that REAL MUSICIANS DO!!!
Billy Joel thinking he’s not as brilliant. Wow.
Smart people love motorcycles! Where are the Indians?
