I hate people who say that this generation has 'ruined' music. Are you kidding? there are plenty of great artists out there today. You have to understand that society moves through different generations of music. Each decade had it's own taste. Just because some stuff like Justin Beiber or Lady GaGa is popular now, doesn't mean that things wont be very different 10 years from now.
Despite the passing generations, some stick as classics. Some don't.
I`m from Serbia and I like this song very much and this song is very social like, he mentions everyone in that place whete he played the piano, the people who are successful and the people who are not. So, here in Serbia I have to finish college to live my life like I should but I find that maybe is better for me to be a worker. Greetings to everyone around the globe! :)
95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die!
I was at a bar, and people were singing this on karaoke. They had the whole bar, including me, singing this song. I was about 6 when this song came out and here in almost 2012, you got me singing PIANO MAN! F yeah! Real Music!
if you like Billy Joel, then you should check out my page. I write songs on the piano and guitar and put a lot of hard work into it. Please check it out.
I would give just about anything to see him in concert. All my east coast brothers and sisters--ya'll were fortunate to have more opportunities to see the Phenomenal Billy Joel. He is the total package. Total awesomeness.
Not for nothing but this crowd looks like stoned hippies (and I'm white) I mean they are all waving their hands in unison, if you look at other live versions of this song on youtube you don't see that. Almost disturbing, at least for me, I mean nothing against being into the song/artist but just strange to see, that is all I'm saying. And I have nothing against Billy Joel or the song.
Bill was working at the Midisland mall ,selling Pianos,in Hicksville when I was about ten and went to Greenshields options for glasses. He let me watch him play. soon after he got a record contract . He played this song that day. A good Guy.
Oh hey VEVO...can you please stop sucking ass and cutting off songs when they aren't done? Kthxbye...it's shitty enough that I have to use you to listen to songs as it is...
dont read this because it actually works. you will get kissed on the nearest possible friday by the love of ur live.tommorow will b the best day of ur life. however if u dnt post this comment to at least three videos u will die within to days.now uve started reading this so dnt stop. this is so scary. put this on at least five videos in 143 minutes wen ur done press F6 and ur lovers name will apear on the screen in big letters. this is so scary cuz it actually works
He plays the piano, harmonica, and sings at the same time!!!!!!!!! all you see now a days are people who just have to look pretty and say lines, badly, on TV and have their voices autotuned! that's not real talent !THIS IS! :)
