Default Netflix documentary "Hired Gun"
Anyone else watch it? Phil didn't have a lot of opportunity for storytelling there. I was waiting to hear the debacle unfold through his eyes, but my guess is that Jon would never allow him to discuss what actually happened. His moment to say a word about Bon Jovi was only seconds.

Yes I’ve seen it too. I thought it was very interesting and shows how rotten the market is for hired musicians. I’ve felt sorry for that drummer guy.

The one from Billy Joel's band? I felt sorry for the whole damn band he fired after 18 years, without saying a word to them.

Yeah, I've watched it a couple of times. I liked it. A few of my musician friends are big fans of it.

Liberty DeVitto?
Yeah, Billy Joel doesn't come across looking too good in this.

This is the man who wrote I love you just the way you are for his insecure wife.......then dumped her for Chrissy Brinkley.

Amazing what money gets you.

Billy Joel is a weak coward who didn't have the balls to man up to the band who stood by him and arranged his music with him for decades. I lost all respect for him after watching this. One of the guys even killed himself and he didn't care or reach out.

Sorry for going OT. I really did wish Phil would be able to tell more of his story.

I’m glad I saw Billy Joel before I saw the documentary. I would never go see him again. I expected Phil to have a bigger part in it because he was doing so much Press as a selling point.

It's been well known for many years that Billy is not a nice person at all. Extremely talented guy though! I never got to see him live, but I would. The fact that he is a massive ass doesn't deflect on my enjoyment of his music. In fact, if we know most of the people we looked up to, we'd all probably be less than impressed. There's a reason they say never meet your heroes...
