Billy Joel - The Downeaster Alexa (Rosie O'Donnell, 1998)

one way to Thailand

This is an amazing song. However, this band is playing with all the wrong emotion, especially that gay guitar player. This song needs to be performed very mellow, in an 'unplugged' type of way. Drummer is also annoying over playing. All in all it's a better job that I can do, so fuck me for speaking my mind.

@jiffyware eh immediately i felt the 'wrong' 'vibe' gads it's terrible, but Billy ROX!!!!

[57drmusic]

My absolutely favourite Billy-Joel-Song. I saw him live in Concert in Stuttgart,Germany October 1991 and it was ammazing.

[ratliff2006]

Is that a woman on keyboards?

[PutItAway101]

@ratliff2006 It's always debateable with keyboard players. LOL

[mikeweit]

look at scott sapp 1:45 on acoustic guitar rocking out. Man I hate him and creed. Long live Joel.

[Nightwish5121]

@mikeweit It is Scott Stapp, not Scott Sapp, and that guy isn't him. He bears a superficial resemblance, sure, but that isn't him.

[flojogrande]

Did anybody see Fabio on the Keyboards?

[deijzerenhertog]

the drummer is awosome lol

[KillMeNowVIII]

@deijzerenhertog That's Liberty DeVitto, Billy's drummer for 30+ years. He played drums in the studio and on tour with Billy from the beginning and during his prime. They parted ways after a financial and personal dispute in the early 2000's. Nobody is exactly sure what happened, but it's really a shame. Billy's fans miss Liberty a lot.

[amazed66]

@KillMeNowVIII Apparently Liberty was going through a divorce and was under a bit of financial pressure and asked Billy for help but did so in a way that he put claims as having input in the creation (for want of a better word) of some of the songs and seemingly wanted to be financially rewarded for it.

The problem comes where you have to decided what is input and what is considered part of the creation and Billy Joel seems quite possessive about his songs, which is understandable really.

[hazel9428]
