Billy Joel in person FAILURE!

[EmptyGarden]

Thought I should post this feedback to expose Billy...an ahole.

Saw him on April 15th 2008 in Des Moines, Iowa. Had a 5th row seat and made it right next to the stage for the stage rush about 12 songs into the show. I had brought an 8X10 of a great pic I took of him at a show in December along with a silver sharpie. Several times Billy came by shaking hands along the stage and each time he passed me by. Had the 8X10 on a hard surface and the sharpie out and ready. He does sign an item or two every now and then at shows. A friend saw the show before this and he signed something there.

I find it sad he can waste an entire day of his life going on Oprah with his wife but he can't take 2 seconds to sign something for a fan during a concert.

I'm not upset I didn't get an autograph, sure it would have been nice. It's the principle of the thing. I would have been just as upset had it been someone else.

Shame on you Billy

Too bad he did not sign your picture, but just think....he has ALOT of fans with pictures, He may have not saw you or I'm sure a bunch of other fans like yourself were dissapointed. But don't call him names just because he did not have the time to sign yours. Like I said before many other fans are too probobly a mad at that. Maybe you should try sending via venue. (please don't get mad at me...I don't wanna fight or anything) (If you need help with anything please feel free to ask). But deffenetly try via venue.

Sorry to hear about the failure though

WHAT?! This is just bizarre.

You cannot expect an autograph from a celebrity while they are performing; he may have not even seen it. And not only that but unless it was some type of big intermission it would take too long.

I understand you can be upset about it, but really you should not have expected it anyway. And since when is going on Oprah a bad thing? It takes time to shoot a television show, so it would take about half a day, which isn't unheard of. Just because Linda Eder was on the Oprah show a while ago, and I had seats close to the stage and while some poeple put requests on the stage and she read them, I didn't run over to get something signed by her. And to top that, she didn't come out of the stage door, which you should have checked for Billy.




People need to start to show a little more respect for celebrities. They are just people! And it's not just you (if you think I'm singleing you out), there's a lot of people on this board who act like this.

hey guys im a big billy fan myself and he actualy doesent seem like a rude guy really. but yes like others said even if its between songs he cant sign a autograph for you, maybe after the concert you could have asked when piano man was done. i saw someone get mcartneys after a concert(i didnt because my seats werent close to stage) but ya even if its a few seconds he cant be like wait i gotta sign this guys picture, and if he signed for you he would have had to sign for everyone else in the first few rows.

Couldnt you have tried afterwards at the stage door or whatever?

Sorry for the dissapointment
