That was fucking pathetic. I know he was pissed on the crew for constantly lightning his audience, but this is horrible.

Just like those horrible videos featuring Keith Emerson

I think it's freaking great!!
His rage fits perfectly in the song too :lol:
Man I love it!! 8)

Did you know before his musical career Billy was a boxer ? He never made it so he turned to music instead, not a bad idea...especially to end up destroying CP80s on stage, go Billy go !

I'm not a big fan of that either. The Billy Joel video did give me a chuckle, though :lol:

I always suspected Keith Emerson was a moron. Now I've seen proof   :(

As for Billy Joel... big man. I guess he got his ass beat too many times in the ring and decided to hit back at inanimate objects. lol I remember seeing his interview where he tried to explain himself, saying something like "The Russian people are afraid enough. They don't want bright lights in their faces!" Like a 250 lb Jersey oaf throwing heavy projectiles around will help that situation?  :lol:

There is a full video of this that used to be on youtube. It showed the whole ordeal start to finish. When the band went to intermission Billy said about the piano something to the effect of  "I mean, it isnt like it was expensive or anything, but still..." I wish my  CP-70 was cheap enough to throw around on stage!  :twisted:

Haha the one thing I can say about the Emerson videos, is that beyond the destructive, he actually is talented.  

It would be much different than a young musician who can't play at all, just destroying an instrument for shock value and to overcompensate for not being able to play.  At least Emerson can wail at the same time, while wailing literally on the organ haha.
