billy joel only the good die young

[edrums99]

i'd rather laugh with sinners then cry with the saints

[gabumonfanclubx]

Dang, I finally looked up what this song means. never would have guessed smh

[Ozzysuckshard]

@allstar00442288 Billy Joel Didn't Steal It But Niether Did Iron Maiden They Are Two Different Songs Entirely They Just Happen To Have The Same Title So Both Of You Shut up cause if either of you listened to both songs you'd figure it out yourselves

[caperguy2000]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son is the seventh studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released in 1988 by EMI in Europe and its sister label Capitol Records in the

[IronFanMaiden]

THAT STUPID ASSHOLE HE STOLE THE SONG FROM IRON MAIDEN ... SEE IRON MAIDEN ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG

[FrostFoxChick]

@IronFanMaiden A) Those songs are nothing alike. Just listen to the tune and lyrics. There is a completely different tone and message for each song.

B) I'm fairly certain this came out /way/ before Iron Maiden's song (I'm not very familiar with the band, my apologies), therefor it would be the other way around.

[Bladepuppetmaster]

@IronFanMaiden Joel came out with this song a whole 10 years before Maiden did so sorry.

[allstar00442288]

@IronFanMaiden do you realise how fucking retarded you sound? Billy joel came out with this song 10 years before iron maiden, then you fucking rage about billy joel stealing it when its the complete opposite? Hahahaha dumbfucker

[kickit9675]

Glee covered this? Oh god when are the going to end this awful show -_-

[Bladepuppetmaster]

@kickit9675And it was autotuned T_T

[somthinjustaintright]

@Bladepuppetmaster Auto tune did not exist then. It is a 21st century technology for posers who pass for musicians and have nothing to offer except sore auditory canals.

Just thought, and hope an interest in not being accidentally responsible for spreading erroneous, and in this case, artistically libelous information. I sing/play/write LIVE !

.......ya know, a REAL musician. Billy gave me/us much to sing. Real vocalists DESPISE autotune.

[Bladepuppetmaster]

@somthinjustaintright My friend I was talking about the Glee cover being autotuned. I freaking love Joel and I agree with you completely

[somthinjustaintright]

@Bladepuppet I played "Only the good die young," last night. It was the of best received but, the performance was only a cameo to support the "open mic" venue for a friend.

Overwhelmingly, open mic is peopled by those who cannot sing or play well. I REALLY hate the very idea of "open mic." It is the final nail in the coffin of live music. There is NO other job one can steal from another by asking the boss to replace a paid skill with the non skilled or non talented, "free labor."

[somthinjustaintright]

@Bladepuppetmaster I am obviously unaware of Glee. DUH on myself ! LOLZ

[perriwinkle1234567]

No offence to everyone but a lot of these comments are sort of bumming me out I like this type of music AND new music you dont have to like one or they other...

[shalan2424]

Very few good artist these days, give it up to billy, amazingly timeless music.

[Uric25]

It's amazing how when high schoolers get asked what kind of music they listen to, everyone normally would reply, "Oh Eminem, Lil Wayne, Sean Kingston, that sort of stuff" the select few that can actually say that they like to listen to songs like this are the real music listeners. We appreciate actual real good time music, thumbs up if you agree

[NatAttackFilms]

@Uric25 i would but im getting too bored about these "this music is epic, when some group of people listen to crap. thumbs up" comments. Sorry dude

[printthelegends]

@Uric25 Since when is Eminem not real music?

[somthinjustaintright]

@printthelegends ........since forever, miniscule talent, nothing orginal, EVER, but I don't deny whatever floats the boat. The floatability, relies on depth and the tests of time. The likes of m&m wouldn't have ever gained airplay in the world of performing artists of quality. ......not that I don't mind doing the nasty with a young honey who so delights in the m&m's of yesteryear and today.

[supervaginareturns]

Sex good religion bad

[prisana1975]

This song puts me in a good mood always.:)

[OrisLover]

"Come out, come out, come out Virginia don't let me wait"....Awesome!

[aweomae]

Fuck Glee, they don't deserve to cover this song.

[SawyersMusic]

ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG!

[1MrsHaughton876]

Dedicated to Steve Jobs, Dan Wheldon and Vesta Williams. #r.i.p.

[TheJarredMartin]

@1MrsHaughton876 Steve Jobs wasn't young

[CrustyClown11]

Billy Joel rocks. I wish glee didn't do this song. Only Mr.Joel can do it right

[mom369222]

Another great song By Billy Joel

[allisonx3leigh]

im probably the only person my age who listens to song like thiss... haha

[Fender574]

@allisonx3leigh yeah, only you and every other person that writes the same exact thing.

[LarryRickenbacker]

This song was going nowhere on the pop charts 'til some Catholic school up north banned it, LOL!

[rozcastillo]

@LarryRickenbacker I hate to hear that..i'm catholic and love it...does mean anything bad,,,I'm honored by the song in a strange way.

[OpticCantelope]

@Kralisticat4 SAME! I ONLY LISTEN TO BILLY JOEL , MICHEAL BUBLE, AND ELTON JOHN! SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE NEW STUFF!

[bunzz020]

@OpticCantelope gay?

[jennybug52]

Me too!!! Elton John is my man ^_^

[clouds4free]

catholic girls start much to late!

[brandicats]

I don't really like the glee one i love ya forever Billy good job =)

[Lilly5739]

personally I like the glee version better...

[CanadianHamburger]

@Lilly5739 they didn't write it though, and it sounds all synthesized, like the dude didn't even sing it

[Padgilord]

@Lilly5739 And why? Support your statement with some proper arguments.

[Lilly5739]

@Padgilord Why do I need to "support it with some proper arguements?" It's just my opinion that the Glee version is better.

[Padgilord]

@Lilly5739 'It's my opinion' is not an argument where I come from. Name some musical factors, better singer (debatable) better audio quality, better use of instuments (debatable)

[BeAsTlY11232]

Great song.....Miami 2017 is another amazing song by billy joel

[TPMSTGKDMGOA]

I'm 14 and I'd say that not all new music is bad. Of course, I can count on one hand the songs 1980 and afterwards that I like, but still...

[XantheG2010]

@TPMSTGKDMGOA im 13 and im with you almost 100%.. in my eyes 90% of the music now is foolishness but thats just me....YOU CANT BEAT THE 80S.!! :)

[stormrider3986]

@XantheG2010 hey man im 13 as well and totally agree... most of its crap... this old school 80s smashes it anyday!

[feelingthatway13]

thats nice.

[Beatles264]

People my age may call me a weirdo but I'd rather listen to Joel than todays shit any day!

[hotty5873]

@Beatles264 tell me about it!

[Metalhead197]

@Beatles264 They call you a weirdo until glee covers it and then "Oh i love that song" god i hate that show.

[TheMagicofCurtis]

@Metalhead197 haha same.

[Littleflower176]

Incredible song !

[ladybutterfly1305]

Oldies but goldies :D

[TimothyPhillips1]

this is a true classic i have all his albums still a great album to listen too. i still turn records on my record player, sit with mom often listening to the oldies. not that it is that old. great post love this performer. and he is still going at it.

[jfriedmann81]

I rather laugh with the sinners and cry with saints because the sinners are more fun.

[TheSlacker93]

@rampart7humor BASTARD

[CoacoaBean08]

lol im 20, i love some rap, i love music in different genres across several generations, i like some of the music out today, and i love a lot of billy joel. thats all. :)

[rvdaniels]

it is very slow

[GLINDAnELPHABA]

Im 15 and obsessed with mr. billy joel. No one has this kind of creativity nowadays. Im so sad I missed his prime. I wish people actually cared about the music and not just the beat. Rap is CRAP!!!

[KenIsSexyYO]

I'm 12 and i'd rather listen to this song rather than Eminem, B.o.B, Lady Gaga, bruno Mars, You get my drift xD

[HockeyNinja]

@KenIsSexyYO Thank you. You have restored my hope in your generation.

[Jamus02]

Holy crap this is good. Why have I not listened to this before till now?

[opanersgirl]

<3 this song!

[cuite267]

this so is savage

well

thas what the shandon clan think

lol

[KadSkirata]

Billy Joel is.....amazing. Id kill to see him live. Glad to see no ones disliked it so far!!! and if you do, whats wrong with you?!

[Kralisticat4]

So much better than that crap that everyone my age listens to. *shudder*

[SystemofaDowndrugy]

@Kralisticat4 Couldn't agree with you more.

[feelingthatway13]

@Kralisticat4 OK, a lot of young people listen to old music its not really a big deal, no need to brag about it!!!!! im 16 and ive listened to oldies my whole life, but i dont go around bragging about it.

[RedSpecial16]

@feelingthatway13 I'm 19 and I don't just ADORE oldies music, but my oldies trivia skills are often as good as (and sometimes better than) those who lived through it -- but I'm not bragging either. ;-)

Kralisticat4 makes two good points: first is that the majority of our generation does NOT seem to listen to oldies, and second is that the "music" that comes out now is CRAP. I'm glad you both listen to and appreciate good music; be proud of your differences and awesome taste in music!

[Kralisticat4]

@feelingthatway13 all I said was that most modern music is TERRIBLE. you're the one bragging about it.

"Oh, look at me I've been listening to this all my life!!" do you want me to give you a gold star or something? Congratulations.

[feelingthatway13]

@Kralisticat4 yes i do

[Kralisticat4]

@feelingthatway13 OK I'll get on it then :) but could you explain to me how it's bragging?

[feelingthatway13]

@Kralisticat4 idk. sorry for calling you out, its just annoying when poeple just listen to old music to be cool. ya dig?

[Kralisticat4]

@feelingthatway13 yeah... but that's not what I'm doing. Kinda sounds like you are though.

[RedSpecial16]

@Kralisticat4 I'm not sure how old you are, but I see more and more people into their 30's and 40's that like what my generation is listening to. (I'm 19.)

Rock and roll is here to stay...it's just hiding behind rap right now, but our music will make a mighty return one day.

[Kralisticat4]

@RedSpecial16 I'm 15, and I agree :)

I don't really like rap that much :/

[selty]

@Kralisticat4 that's what every generation says

[Kralisticat4]

@selty is that good or bad..?

[selty]

@Kralisticat4 Iunno, depends on how you view society and all that jazz. In any case, this stuff is good, but it doesn't mean next gen's music is bad. Not at all. It's just different.

[redskinmid21]

@selty

todays music is just too techno lol. this is real music. not the techno/audo tone. But its just music. Nothing can change wat sum1 likes or dislikes. just a matter of opinion

[Shadowinferno65]

@Kralisticat4 totally agree

[mkalover232]

@Kralisticat4 I agree on you with that....I have been listening to everything 2003 down because I believe that was the last year of good music! I am only 17 as well.

[xiheartjohnohh]

@mkalover232 i'm 17 years old too. and i agree.

i mostly listen to 80's and 90's music.

[mkalover232]

@xiheartjohnohh yaaaay someone who is with me only I listen to everything fromm 4000 BC to 2003 AD...anything after is crap.

[beiberjustinhottie]

i love him aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh favorite song forever

[LarryRickenbacker]

This song has special meaning to any guy whose found himself on a date with a reluctant girl! LOL

[HassamuWindie]

Simply an amazing song. I hate how people listen to this song and completely fail to realize the real point of the song is about a virgin, Catholic, girl.(or as you said any reluctant girl) But regardless, the true message of the song is so much better. I couldn't agree with you more.

[rummbler411]

ONE OF TTHHHHEEE best songs EEEVVVVEEERRR!!!!!!!

[rockon4561]

billy joel your awesome! i have your cd! lol i got it from my mom but she went to your concert!!! god bless you!
