BILLY/JOEL
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 at 8:07am by Axl RosenbergWhen we were younger, Vince and I used to argue about whether not Billy Joel was any good. For the record: I did not like the musical stylings of Mr. Joel, and Vince did. It wasn’t until Billy boy, as drunk as any member of any metal band has ever been, challenged to me to a fight on the street because I was “lookin’ at his pizza funny” that I began to see just what a bad ass the piano man is. I’ve never thought of the song “Pressure” the same way since.
ANYWAY, Blabbermouth posted this footage of Joel (on rhythm guitar) and a roadie (on vocals) playing “Highway to Hell” this past Friday night in Hollywood, Florida, a town that has the unique distinction of being the second most famous Hollywood in America. The thought of a drunk driver playing “Highway to Hell” is just too funny not to post.

Billy Joel NOT playing piano? Well, it sounds pretty authentic at least… much better than anything Celine Dion could do. :)
I admire him more than I actually enjoy his music. I do have a soft spot for “My Life” though. That said, I’d hope I’d be smart enough to not look at the man’s pizza funny. Get it together, Axl.
This was right before he crashed through an old lady’s house looking for pizza.
The roadie sounds like Marc Storace from Krokus…and that’s a good thing.
Looking at Joel’s recent girth, I would be very afraid of coming between the man and his pizza.
So once my friends and I were speeding listening to a certain billy joel tape. We got pulled over and Innocent Man was playing as the cop came up to us. He didn’t buy it :(
