Billy Joel - Pressure

[hexashadow13]

I love my friend for showing me this guy.

[gspendlove]

20 people can't deal with PRESSURE!!!!

[steglive]

for years I sat in meetings hearing this song in my mind-I saw it today for the first time in years, Peter Pan advice, all grown up and..., don't ask for help..,-I think have made me jump.

[thepouge1]

What is up with the Chris Brown ads? "Turn Up the Music" so you can't hear him beating on his girl?

[krazyk00k00bird]

...and now we have Lady Gaga...

My mom loves Billy Joel. I grew up with him because my mom always listened to him! :)

[Loumademe]

Always loved this one. Thanks.

[pasy2006]

PRESSURE MAN:)

[bananaz572171]

IT'S AWESOME. THIS IS MY 1ST TIME HEARING ABOUT BILLY JOEL. AND WHERE IZ ALL THAT WATER COMING FROM.... IM SO CONFUSED ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!

[MrMaximililano]

Late nights crunching on an assignment with some unachievable goal in mind = this song....I really can't handle the pressure.......

[myjunnie1]

I'm wondering, who else saw the E=mc^2 thing?

[danimusic00]

@myjunnie1 I did, haha.

[cardinalsinfeathers]

I forgot how damn good this song is, and how weirdly Baroque the synth riff is!

[theluellen]

I never heard or knew Billy did this song, I bet it could be redone and sound cool.

[bobdole9696]

@theluellen

Why redo it? It's already everything Billy wanted it to be.

[danimusic00]

Wow, I forgot how much I love this song.

[darksydeacres]

Aha Billy Joel is the INTERSECT!

[myjunnie1]

Mostly drowning... I feel bad for you JB

[myjunnie1]

This also looks like Billy as a kid had a nightmare of water taking over the world.

[myjunnie1]

This kinds of reminds me of a horror show where a kid was sucked into a mirror compined with like a guy with white hair that is evil.

[MrMaximililano]

Best part: creepy, circus-esque music.

[thelivnlegend]

What fool would dislike this? Come on! Be for real.

[spockles]

i remember living this back in the 80s and still living it now all your life is channel 13

[mr5exywolf]

I handle my pressure the old fashion way, xanax and valium.

[TheSchlager1]

I was scared of the coffee

[Contakum]

I listen to this song whenever I feel I'm under a lot of pressure in my life, it helps me deal with it and actually gives me the arrogant attitude that the rest of the world can't deal with pressure as well as I can.

[LuciusTavington]

It's a great video...But I'm confused on what it has to do with the song...

[jjoeshaw]

@LuciusTavington I think the water is like stress/pressure and it's saying he can't get away from it, I think haha

[LuciusTavington]

@jjoeshaw Ahhh I see lolz. 

[spockles]

im suprised they haven't made a rap remake of this i better be quiet and not give them any ideas

[mr5exywolf]

@spockles i did see a rap remake of this song. it was the pressure of not selling enough rock and my girls did not make my enough money for me that day. :- }

[MrMarcoc74]

Such a top song - song reminds me of work and relationships ahhhhhhh!

[thepredsrule]

great vid klasik tune !!!!

[j00rd44nn]

my dad just said 1234 PRESSURE out of nowhere and sho we looked it up.

[WildManChrisVEVO]

I remember remembering this song when I was in the fourth grade.

Didn't have a clue who did it or what the name of it was until 1992 @ the Kinston Pizza Hut, goddammit!

[thepredsrule]

great tune w/great vid.

[Dannymusic1999]

The beginning piano chords sound like early Supertramp. 

[stuvo1977]

This song needs radio airplay. Why do the play the same trite garbage.

[phillyeaglesphan]

15 people cannot handle pressure, nor can they spot talented singer/songwriters...

[kja427]

In the period B.C.(Before Christie)Mr. Billy Joel was a Badass. This tune, and this video proves that. I guess after he married Miss Brinkley, he softened up. What do y'all think?

[Len1977gt]

He is a great artist. They don't make music, or music videos like this anymore

[BestMusicExpert]

This video used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid!

[j00rd44nn]

@BestMusicExpert How



[BestMusicExpert]

@j00rd44nn Watch the video, any 5-6 year old who's watching this may get a bit freaked out by the dogs, the carpet sucking someone in or getting sucked into the TV.... (And being stuck in a room with Jerry Sandusky... ER Some old guy)

[mynaijagal]

@BestMusicExpert When i was young, this video always freaked me out especially the carpet sucking him in. still creeps me out even now :(

[WinkingOwl1]

Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

[96karus]

I used to get freaked out as a kid when he was being sucked into the cushy floor LOL.

[Bigbrian1919]

@96karus Me too. 

[firebat42]

DWANGO5

[semkobenko]

I miss little Ali

[semkobenko]

i like it.

[Starless2012]

1982....you know you wish you were there now :(

[kbell1965]

The car that splashes him with the puddle is Christy Brinkelys, It's a foreshadow of what was coming..Divorce. If you don't believe me, watch- Up Town Girl. lol

[NeverAgainSP]

I'm just a kid who is 10 years old and I am one of Billy Joel's biggest fans!

[MultiFlyingPotatos]

@NeverAgainSP Im 10 too (well almost 11) and billy joel is my favorite artist!

[NeverAgainSP]

@MultiFlyingPotatos Hi you can watch me play I've loved these days by: Billy Joel by typing in, youtube, Jake D. I've loved these days. Oh by the way I'm the kid that is 10 years old. I'm the one playing the piano in the blue shirt.

[sUop99]

@MultiFlyingPotatos I like to see kids who care about a time (times) before 2006.

[MultiFlyingPotatos]

@sUop99 thanks



[123caleto]

Dios esta cancion !! k buenos recuerdos d mi niñez ! :'( !

[IggyHazard]

3:10 Billy Joel dressed as Leisure Suit Larry.

[FanOfPopCulture]

15 people miss Christie Brinkley

[kkrriissttiikkee]

Love his crazy videos :D

[hammertoejoe]

One Two Three Four Pressure! resembles "A Clockwork Orange"

[MSLOLI100]

billy joel is very talented. every song of his is gold. i wish him long life and many years of music.

[figureitoutmannn]

"Now here you are with your faith and your Peter Pan advice. You have no scars on your face and you cannot handle pressure!" ~love it~

[TrumpetAddict15]

@figureitoutmannn OMG SAME!!! Favorite part of the song

[figureitoutmannn]

@TrumpetAddict15 Sweet! :) Thanks for telling me! I listen to it over and over...It's SO powerful in my humble opinion!

[TrumpetAddict15]

@figureitoutmannn

I just "discovered" this song yesterday. I listened to it all through school today. and I always sing that one line if I start singing haha. All of his songs...well not all but a good amount. Somehow relate to my life. He is by far my favorite artist.

[asxp10]

The good thing about the like bar is you can't see ANY red.

[jjslittleyogirlmoo]

This song is the epicness of epic :D

[jjslittleyogirlmoo]

13 people cant handle pressure :D

[pdmullgirl]

I remember watching this back in the 80"s and thinking "wow, what an awesome video" and I watch it today and think the same thing. What a great video ! Great artist!

[justsayin111]

@pdmullgirl // yeah, I think we were quite progressive even back then. I remember when watching MTV videos was the thing to do... English was not my first language but things like these made me want to learn it. You wanted to learn because the concepts were so interesting that you HAD to know what was all about. I did not pay thousands for any class or course to learn, just kept watching artists like Billy for the lessons!!

[sneeyize45]

@pdmullgirl There are a lot of awesome videos from the early years of MTV, especially the year 1982 that get overlooked and forgotten (so many people think that the great videos didn't start until Michael Jackson's Billie Jean video released in early 1983.) Two others that I rank up there with Billy Joel's Pressure from that year of 1982 are Asia's for Heat of the Moment & the Motels for Only the Lonely.

[bigdsears]

I'd trade one week in '82 for a year of nowadays...

[Feisty4Wes]

This man is the epitome of talent!!

[boykulot1969]

00:40 features a cameo by Sly Stallone

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

Billy Joel owns us all!!

[msdemos]

I remember being shocked at how much weight Billy Joel suddenly seemed to have put on the first time I saw this video, back in the day....

It's most noticeable on the white 'living room' set, right around the 1:49 mark, as he's getting pulled down through the floor.

Does anybody know what, if anything, was going on in his life during that time, and what (other than his eating habits) might have been responsible for the sudden weight gain ???

[funkmike]

@msdemos

He married Christie Brinkley, and she was doing the starving for both of them.

[msdemos]

@funkmike

;-)



[firefalcoln]

i hate people who comment on the number of dislike votes a video gets, because they always seem to get a top comment, and then the number changes.

[shahmir16]

@firefalcoln I hate generic comments that are always top comment

[justsayin111]

@shahmir16 //hope my comment does not dissapoint, ;-)

[evilbunnyo]

demi lovato get off a billy joel video this instant

[bythedog]

"Peter Pan advice" indeed! It's all make believe bullshit! "Psych 1... Psych 2.... what does it mean?!"

[WazzupPussyCat]

@bythedog Its Pshych 1 psych 2 what do u know...? and then the other one is all ur life is channel 13 what does it mean? lol but ya

[shwishshwash]

I like to think Billy just sorta picked up where John Lennon left off. But who does Billy pass the torch to?

[wendileona]

I dedicate this one to the "Millennials".

Pressure...

- G

[bored2tears9999]

this synth sounds so eeeeviiiil xDDDDDDDD

[avragazagas]

It"s amazing video clip

[MrBrennanmoriarty]

I can handle it. a couple of earthquakes and the commet passes like a skeem.

I like that stairway...

[DUGLAS97]

yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyyeahhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh :D

[davidscurlock1]

ya this kickes the butt of all the overplayed billy joel this really showcases his orchestra talent

[sheilaboy44]

CAN SOMEONE DESTROY VEVO!!!! WE HATE YOUR FUCKING LAME ASS COMMERCIALS!!!!!!

[eugeneartamn]

its all about our crazy life. The modern civilization make us mad and nervous. Billy said about it 30 years ago. I`m Russian, but this theme is actual for us too.

[077unknown]

My high school did this song in it's show last year. It was amazing :D

[SUPERFLYPETE]

LOVE IT! The Early days of MTV, this was in rotation a lot. What a great song.

[07Ellis007]

Such a clever song... and very underestimated too.

I'm from the UK and songs like these are not even known.

[JackPlatt]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! And I want to thank you for uploading the longer version of it! My Greatest Hits CD only has the shorter version of "Pressure." Have not heard the long version in years! The video is stunning!!!!

[LHZZ12MM]

Billy Joel, for being rather non-committed and even non-interested in his spiritual beliefs (you can research his religeous upbringing and beliefs online), sure uses spiritual seeking themes in his music.

[nimgurth]

why wont any billy joel videos fing play dammit?



[reeny151]

LOVE THIS MAN HE IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG WRITERS OF ALL TIME (:

[4323802]

no puedo creer que el tiempo pase ayer estaba chibolito y pensar que mañana sere un anciano meon que desgracia Pressure

[71israfish]

12 people caved into Pressure! Losers!

[teapotiscool]

Not generally a Billy Joel fan, I do love this song. Great lyrics and video too. 

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[MrWillette57]

love these videos, i love watching 80s videos, the 70s and 80s.

[RexcorJ]

Yeah, this song could definitely sound awesome with a metal mix-up. Funny, I was thinking that when I first heard it on the radio.

PRESSURE!!

[windbeamproductions]

My friends don't believe me that this song could be redone with a metal edge to it and it would sound awesome. Please, if someone sees this that is a musician, plz consider doing it, then I will show your vid to my friends and say, "Look, this coulda been YOU trying this! HAHA! " LOL.

[FCA1991]

@windbeamproductions I'll get right on it!

[windbeamproductions]

@FCA1991 That would rock! Can't wait.

[nutsaboutzebrasstrip]

electricmick357

TMI!

[yuppers4321]

What I find funny is that almost 30 years have passed, and this is still one of the weirdest music videos I can think of.

[ludo281160]

One of the best video's made in 1983, remember, just after *ET* and *Poltergeist*...What was Billy doing... just after *the Nylon Curtain*... with his following album??? Hmm Contractively 1984, I could not make it with him...*Tell me like it is* and *Uptown Girl* (not my stuff at all). But he really always was impressing me to change the whole time of style in his musical carreer. Another example listen and compare yourself 1978's 52nd street and the

following Glass Houses 1980. Amazing change!

[BeansVikings]

Now batting for your Oakland Athletics, Designtaed Hitter, #55, Hideki Matsui!!!

[demonseed032]

With your faith, and your Peter Pan advise, you'll have those scars on your face...with I could convey those lines to every evangelical I meet.

[vilchisss]

VEVO GO AWAY!!

[mactheartofwarfare]

Ah yes the days when Rap & Hip Hop,and radio processed crap did not exist

[mperkins01]

@mactheartofwarfare What's "Radio"?

[fenthedog]

this is a bollocks tune, pity cos his old stuff was cool

[iamobeliskquake]

@fenthedog dude id count this as old stuff. it was out in 1982

[DaveWollenberg]

Billy hit #20 in Billboard, 11-20-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Billy!

[WhoopeeCo]

better than inception

[caulinrocker1]

wow

[Chitoxin]

Amazing... where has all the good music gone these days?

[Deadpool3075]

Every time I see this Video, I notice something new.

[9backinblack]

Great song to get stuck in ur head

[sims2productionmovie]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!! YOU ROCK BILLY JOEL!!!!

[ronyorellana226]

thumbs up if you think this video should be a movie...

[TheGruntmarshall]

younger billy joel looks like Rocky lol

[Jadefg]

@TheGruntmarshall LOL I was thinking that too.

[Oraukk]

8 people can't handle pressure

[SerratedXx]

@Oraukk Every time I see one of those comments I dislike the video just to fuck it up.

[myboydodger]

was he really 29 in this? i was born in 82 so i am 29 now. just though it was kinda cool

[danny72e]

If Metallica ever were to cover this song thier style...WAO!!!!!

[mimefan]

Am I the only one who thinks this song is just Billy Joel doing his best David Bowie impression?

[takeitdowninc]

Shining meets A Clockwork Orange. Brilliant.

[gps93]

damn it I HATE ads, we go online to stay away from ads and then they invaded cyberspace.

[happyclown25]

Even though most people this music video looked extremely corny, it's very logical! Life is cruel! I'm 40 years old and sometimes I feel like i'm going on 70! I work for Home Depot for over 20 years doing overnight hours and sometimes it feels like I'm thrown into the corner with guns pointed at me in every direction and I don't know which way to turn without getting shot! You just have deal with the pressure! Great video Mr. Joel ; You put it in perspective!

[happyclown25]

Even though lots of people think this music video looked extremely corny , It's really very logical! Life just makes you fell like you're thrown into a corner with guns pointed at you in every direction and you don't know which way to turn without being shot ! I'm 40 years old and I feel like I'm 60! I work at Home Depot for over 20 years now and more than 1/2 of my time in the company , i've worked overnights with so much demand and expected to do everything with no exceptions! Life is cruel!

[BRYAN351]

@happyclown25 well then, my friend, you need to quit that shitty job and find one that isn't going to kill you. I recommend being your own boss. I'm 43, have been my own boss for most of my life, and I feel great. I look and feel like I'm 30. Then again, I don't have any kids or blood sucking wives or ex-wives, which really helps too. Live long and prosper.

[happyclown25]

[Bkmotto]

When this video came out, it was absolutely cutting edge! Back in the days of GOOD MTV. He really set a new standard for video storytelling, a cut above everything around it. Not to mention he's an exceptional artist!! I'm glad 80's stuff is hitting it big with the younger set right now. Maybe this great genre of music will be given a second life.

[morecandy818]

cbs dollars dollars dollars hey billy

[rubyslippers224]

@hospitalbedpan1 your name says it all. I wish I was a food-stamp leeching welfare whiner instead of one who pays taxes so they can exist. I've never worked @ Walmart & never will. KMA.

[Mandi7882]

If there is anyone out there in College or University...this is our theme song. :)

[Bethfromwigan]

this is real music and talent. not the kind of stuff that there is these days. we need more artists like billy these days !.

[BeanManIncorporated]

I love this song, and I love the music video, but am I the only guy who gets pissed off at that kid in the pajamas?

[Cnat123]

BILLY JOEL - KING OF 80'S VIDEOS!!!

[StreetMarcher728]

I used to kick my mom to the beat in her womb to this song. I'm now 16 and in marching band...I've been marking time for 16 years....

[rubyslippers224]

I hate the ads at the beginning of videos! Especially when not given the option to skip them!!!

That said, great song & great video.

[hospitalbedpan1]

@rubyslippers224 your not supposed to skip the ads jackass. You expect free music with no ads? Who pays the artist? Oh wait, you are probably one of those food stamp leeching welfare whiners who want everything handed to you.

No ads = monthly subscription.

If your internet can't handle the ads, then maybe it's time to upgrade your job skills and leave wal-mart? I'm so tired of people complaining about vevo without understanding the real reason it's there.

[brudswick]

@hospitalbedpan1 artists? ohhhh I got ya! the CON artists. match stick men. well they pay themselves I imagine. no one pays billy joel shit . the artists rarely see a fraction of what the production company makes, and vevo isn't either thing. they just liscence and buy rights for use. they dont actually create anything. lol. so misguided it hurts.

[GoochRash]

@brudswick Although you are right, none of the money goes to Billy Joel from these ads but those ads do keep the video service up.Youtube is running a pretty big operation and it costs a lot of money to do this. The ads are annoying but they are a small price to pay for the convenience of having youtube around.

[russ3llcoolio]

@hospitalbedpan1 skipping ads makes somebody a "food stamp leeching welfare whiner", tell me the logic behind that. you are very judgmental, vevo has not always been on youtube, and when vevo was not on youtube there was no monthly subscription you are talking about. and whats with the walmart comment and your vendetta against the poor, how is it possible to judge a persons work habits, by a comment they put on youtube about how they dislike vevo. outright disrespectful, control your self.

[EssexAggiegrad2011]

love this song and video

[SheriffTankStoner]

This video is the one thing Billy Joel has in common with the group Missing Persons, both are American acts that filmed a music video in the UK in 1982. Billy did it with this song while the Missing Persons did it with the song 'Destination Unknown'

[bigdsears]

pressure esse... 

[guylaroche5]

GO PUCK YOURSELF

[Kater2]

Happy Birthday, Billy!

[TheJ3WKID]

peer pressure sucks

[Conzuelo24]

Bad Ass Song as all Billy Joel's songs

[candy1259]

I was that kid's age by the time this video was done... Good memories!
