Long Island got their money's worth that night. Billy the Kid rode right over them.
What a great song. The lyrics are perfect, the beat's strong, the rockin' melody is out of the doo-wop days. Thank you, thebestbillyjoel for this piece of New York rock.
He's still alive, last I checked. I guess that makes him even better, then. Although, really, I'm not sure if he could get much better without spontaneously combusting. :)
this song is so good the lyrics are amazing everything about it is just absolutely perfect. everything he talks about is so true. and the way this is performed is amazing
@OpakeArawra2 i kinda agree with you, but i agree with the other dude more. dont take this the wrong way butsome rap is nice cuz its catchy but all you gotta do is just come up with words that rhyme they dont even play any instruments and their voice is altered by the studio so its not even their real voices sometimes. playing instruments takes skill.
these days too many fuckers are using autotune, too many fuckers are getting record executives to write their rhymes. that's FAKE rap. REAL rap is still awesome and deliciously put together. i play guitar and several other instruments and rap at the same time, but still have respect for the people who only rap without making their own beats. you can't hate someone for making music the only way they know how, as long as it comes from the heart (which autotune doesn't) then it's all good.
@FUDGEMONKEYS5 who cares what grad eur in :) good music is good music billy joel, pink floyd, the bealtes. they will never die. even tohu they are good (no pun inteanded.) ;D
i can play the intro on the piano, but NO where as good as THE piano man!!!!!!!:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]:]

studies show that 94% of kids prefere rap to any other music. if you're one of the awesome 6% that still loves to headbang copy and paste this to three pure rock videos.
I must say growing up in a high school full of rap.. I am proud to say that I have listened to Zeppelin and Floyd all the way through it. Fuck anyone else, give me Bob Dylan, the Beatles, Poison, Gun's N' Roses, and YES YOU CAN HEADBANG TO JOURNEY

That's what I love about real performers who don't use recordings when playing live. It's always unique, every show they play.
