Outkaster Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 This is so much better than the Michael McDonald interview: Billy Joel 1 1 Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

SamuelBLupowitz Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Howard Stern can really be grating as an interviewer, but for better or worse, he gets much more out of his interviews than the usual talking points and canned responses, and you can tell Billy Joel LOVES to answer a question that he HASN'T been asked dozens of times. Even Paul McCartney has to go off book a bit with Stern, despite his best efforts to tell the same six Beatles stories he's been telling for the past fifty years. 😉 Thanks for sharing, bud!

Outkaster Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 I just thought it was so much more deep then the Beato interview in the other thread. Quote "Danny, ci manchi a tutti.

Reezekeys Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I didn't know we were in an episode of "dueling interviews." I'm a long-time Stern listener (not so much these days) and enjoy his interviews, but he's obviously not a musician so the line of questioning is going to be different. Also, he and Billy are neighbors and long-time buds (many of his subjects are his personal friends) so you do sometimes feel more of the camaraderie in the conversations than with Beato, who is sometimes meeting his subjects for the first time. But that's only an observation, not meant to suggest it makes a particular interview "better" or "worse." I'm happy there are both of those guys and I'm not expecting either one to tick every box on my "questions that must be asked" list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tweed Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Please let’s not have this thread end up in Craig’s forum. I enjoy most of RB’s interviews. If not, I just move onto something else. I’m only part way thru the BJ interview, but I intend to go back for more. My comments may be clouded by the fact that if BJ was appearing in my town, I’d be happy for all his fans, but if it was MM I’d be in the front row.

jazzpiano88 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'll call the Stern-Billy Joel keyboard player interview and raise you a Beato-Jimmy Webb keyboard player interview. (The MM-Beato interview was a singer interview and not a keyboard player interview, IMO. - titled "The Voice that defined a generation"). I agree with Rob, I didn't know if this was a dueling interview thread, but here goes. A huge amount of history discussed with the greatest popular writer of our generation. It's fascinating to hear him talk about how he eventually accepted being resigned to be a composer not achieving the popular limelight, when he'd hoped to be a Billy Joel, not even invited into the sessions that produced his masterpieces. I found it incredibly inciteful insightful. 1 Quote J a z z P i a n o 8 8 -- Yamaha C7D Montage M8x | CP300 | CP4 | SK1-73 | OB6 | Seven K8.2 | 3300 | CPSv.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
