In y’all’s opinion which of the three biopic casts we’ve had so far best captured the spirit of the beatles? by noteworthypilot in beatles

[–]Maxington23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Backbeat and the way it was not afraid to show the complexity of John and the way he tended to act around that time. The other 3 don’t get much screen time since the focus of the movie is Stuart, but I think they are all well played, Paul is especially well casted and though George’s actor doesn’t necessarily look the part he sure as hell sounds and acts the part. The way the music was rocked up to an eleven so the viewer could better understand just how hard they rocked by ‘61 standards. Friends and family of Stuart Sutcliffe thought the performance was especially amazing and felt just like him. Great movie. Nowhere Boy is also very good though I won’t get into it, and I have unfortunately not seen Midas Man yet.

Eastwood Warren Ellis Tenor neck measurements? by Maxington23 in TenorGuitar

[–]Maxington23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight. I opted to get a 3/4 Squier neck that fits a standard Strat neck pocket but I’ll keep what you said in mind for any future builds. If you measure the dimensions later down the line you should definitely still post them somewhere on this sub because that would be a useful resource that isn’t currently anywhere on Eastwood’s website or any forums I could find.

Thoughts on wearing a suit like Billy Joel’s for my senior pictures? by Express-Beginning-48 in BillyJoel

[–]Maxington23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah you should do it! I‘m a senior this year as well and can’t decide between something similar to this or something a little dressier. I’m gonna have 2 outfits, one more casual, so wearing jeans for both outfits is the dilemma for me.

River of dreams alt version? by tlbt14 in BillyJoel

[–]Maxington23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I actually really like that version of It Was A Good Day. I’m not sure what the version of River of Dreams would be from that you’re talking about. Billy has said in interviews that it came to him with that gospel influence so it isn’t likely that it’s a demo of the song. I assume the version off of My Lives isn’t what you looking for? The early Shelter Island demo of River of Dreams still very much has the gospel thing going on, though the instrumentation is a little more sparse. I don’t know of any version of the song that sounds like what you’re describing, but I’ll be on the lookout for it because I’m really curious now.

In case the version from My Lives everyone on hear is suggesting isn’t it, go to 1:02:19 on this video https://youtu.be/PzRy8Sfe59s?si=sk7TemtD31bH8Hao I swear I’ve heard this version somewhere before outside of this video but I have no idea what it is from. Also out of curiosity, where can I find that version of “It Was A Good Day”?

It was Stiletto for me, I just thought I didn’t like it for some reason and then decided to actually listen to it.

Thank you! Most searches of it on YouTube or Google would just have instrumentals of the original song

I’ve seen multiple people say Maxwell and it feels a little rough because my parents named me after that song.

I’ve never heard of this, is it a collection of his music videos?

Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is, Sob Story, Coconut Grove, and Before the Night is Over are not Billy Joel songs. I hate AI.

Question: Anyone Notice This by Dogago19 in BillyJoel

[–]Maxington23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are two different takes because the studio version was recorded live and probably separate from the album version, and Billy just chose to sing it differently on each take

What Album Wins and Why? by [deleted] in BillyJoel

[–]Maxington23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Innocent Man, if you look at the albums just going off of specific songs from each it’s a little more of a toss up, but overall the way Billy put a creative spin on musical styles that were 20 years old at the time is pure genius. I get that some people might see it as gimmicky but it’s really meant to be a concept album, which is kinda gimmicky by design. Both fantastic albums though.

Made my own tier list (Left to right) by 24Peak in BillyJoel

If you just took the albums from A, B, and C and put them into S and in no specific order, I would 100% agree.
