Billy Joel - The Great Wall Of China

[Schwarzmann75]

There are as many dislikes for this video as there are quality Justin Bieber songs.... 0

This song is SO Amazing when you realize for whom it is written and what's he's saying to this person. His manager/ brother in law screwed him of big money and now billy's pissed. That's almost as bad as making Chuck Norris mad.

billy joel - the King of Soul

[Joshuah128]

Is there a live version of this anywhere on YouTube? If someone has one, can they upload it? The only live version that exists, far as I know, should be on the 12 Gardens Live album. I know, I saw that tour in Hartford, CT.

[GualbertoYo]

Standing on the Great Wall of Chinaaaaaaa !!!! ooohhhhh meeennnnn !!!! love this guy... love this CD, love this magic..... thanks God bless you with more, more magic...

[sapphirepanther]

This song is about his manager stealing money from him. The manager was also the godfather for his daughter

0 dislikes FTW!

in an 1979 interview with joel he said he get ideas for songs from dreams, im thinking around 1990 he started eating some pretty weird stuff before he went to bed

[Beale64]

@delly659 He must’ve had some beef with broccoli and shrimp fried rice before dreaming up this song.

[delly659]

@Beale64 hahaha, I've now learned his later work was heavily inspired by The Beatles, and that's one of the reasons it turned out to be so weird hahaha

DUDE COME ON!!!!!!

[ArswawWorldofWarcraf]

Billy Joel pwns at the piano

[jack5505]

I like it when billy use to tour by himself,. he needs to ditch Elton john. He's way better

[whitewolfpackleader1]

@jack5505 come on sure he may be better without Elton but thereye best freinds and Elton John kicks ass

[kiers1970]

Has anybody figured out the mumbled words towards the end of the track? Obviously must be something about his former management?

[devonedwards013]

And I thought I'd heard every Billy Joel song...a gem that only adds to his legacy.

[msbluecobalt]

I love this song- unfortunately there are a lot of people like this person he mentions in this song.....

[Lumpos2]

Man those parts kick ass!

[gbfan228]

i love this song. he is my god.

[nyarfdude]

I LOVE BILLY JOEL. He's the closest thing to a god I can believe in.

[msulik]

@nyarfdude wha?

[Daburcor]

@nyarfdude Right on.

[pittfan1827]

I really want to go see him live. I saw that Movin' Out musical like 5 or 6 years ago, but that was just his songs, not him, even though it was a blast.

[hallo620]

Leslie West on guitar! Brilliant!

[cm10003]

This song is basically about how his ex manager "Frank" screwed him over - stole millions of dollars from him. IT was written out of the pain BJ felt....Listen and it makes sense....

[TimeBomb9291994]

Man I love this song! Excellent Beat!

[ciz10]

I so wnt him to tour in britain agen!!!

[eaglent04]

unbelievable, luv it!

[jdoggpop]

Hey dorff11,

Turn in pop bottles or do what you have to but see this dude in concert!

I saw him and Elton in Tulsa last week and it was worth every penny. Perhaps you can afford the cheap seats.

He may be older but he sounds as great as ever.

He did not play this particular song though.

Both are rock icons and a must see!

[dorff11]

hey im twelve and ive never seen him and im like in love with him ive memorized every song by him i like this on ecuz its a little different from the rest it really shows his range

I WANT TO SEE HIM SO BAD LIVE and hes gonna be in Minnesota with elton which is were i live but the tickets are to expensive!!! im gonna die!!!!!!!!

[chmx26]

[jhill2704]

love this song as well as the whole ROD cd-saw him twice,12/98@MSG and 1/06@MSG-awsome shows of course

[burbonboy]

This is how I feel about certain people in my life. Billy seems to have a song for every mood I am in. Thanks Billy!!!

[barelyapianist]

ditto

[HabsRule92Remy92]

Thanks for posting! There to my knowledge is no other video with this song (that actually works..) on youtube!

[BigShotTony]

Great song. Got to hear him do it in concert back in 2006.

[mission2marsden]

Honestly? How many times have you seen him in concert?

[BigShotTony]

Three times:

February 16th, 2006 and April 19th, 2006 at Madison Square Garden and July 16th this year at Shea Stadium.

[mission2marsden]

Wow... I might go see him in Florida or with Elton John. I know I'm definetly going to see him on the Face2Face tour.

[TURNSTILES76]
