Billy Joel Rings in New Year with Jason Bonham

Billy Joel Rings in New Year with Jason Bonham

When Billy Joel says it’s still rock and roll to him, we should believe him.

Despite being known as the piano man, if you pay attention to his vast catalogue of originals, you’ll hear dynamic drumming, fiery sax playing, and solid guitar leads.

On New Years Eve (12/31) at New York’s UBS Arena, Joel jammed with the world-class drummer, Jason Bonham, the son of the Led Zeppelin legend.

Bonham was probably thrilled to make a guest appearance with Joel after being unceremoniously dumped by Sammy Hagar in mid-November. The drummer had supported Hagar for a decade in several projects, most recently in a lineup that included Joe Satriani on guitar and Michael Anthony on bass.
