Segue Myles Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 2 minutes ago, J2112YYZ said: Well, I've heard it in person and the reaction wasn't good. The same when I saw them on the St. Anger tour. Pretty much nobody cared about Frantic and the title track when they played it. Yes, Metallica only did two songs off it because they were well aware of the horrible response the album got. On the bright side, they opened that show with Blackened and the crowd was singing so loud I couldn't even hear James during it. Probably the best opening song I have ever heard live for a concert. Won't argue with you, I am baffled they even bother playing anything off the album. They have a very rich discography, lots they could play instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't complain too much considering I liked the other 21 songs. It wasn't like when Jeff Beck when us hostage and played 6 songs off that god awful Loud Hailer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that song but I can think of many more I'd prefer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Billy Joel- Nylon Curtain (10/10) I've been feeling Billy lately. i'm not kidding when i say on Long Island. he is truly in our fabric. nne of my earliest memories is owning the Stranger on Cassette. i got it for maybe my 6th or 7th birthday. Anyway the Nylon Curtain is my fav of his and he has said it's his fav as well. it is for sure his most intricate sonically. It didn't really sell well in it's day. aside from lie 2 hit singles. Indeed the entire 2nd side is pretty weird. I recommend this too new fans, lol. if you don't like it that's a you problem Mick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured with Allentown, Pressure and Goodnight Saigon the album had sold a ton. It went double platinum which is good for most other artists but for someone like him at that time, I'm sure that was well below expectations. Especially with how much MTV played the video for Pressure. That was my exposure to Billy Joel when I was a kid. For some reason the video scared me back then. Seeing if as an adult I chuckle at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
