Documentary Movie--Hired Gun

[leedybdp]

Two days ago I watched a very interesting and well-made documentary movie on the Amazon Prime network. The movie was an hour and a half long. The people profiled in the film are some of the music industry's most prolific session players and live gig sidemen/women. It consisted of interviews with, background information about, and scenes of the featured musicians playing with top acts. There was a lot of onscreen time for Kenny Aronoff and Liberty DeVito as well as many other drummers, guitarists, and bassists. I strongly recommend watching this movie.

I enjoyed it. Nice to see Phil X. acting like an adult instead of some attention deficit juvenile.

I've seen this as well. It's a great movie!

Thanks, guys, for offering your input on the movie. It is worth an hour and a half of our time.

I saw it back in 2016 when it came out. It is very eye opening. I still can't look at Billy Joel the same way I did before seeing the movie.

Never meet your heroes....

From listening to the narration in the film and Liberty DeVito's interview, I wonder if Billy Joel's entire demeanor changed radically when his manager screwed him out of all of his money.
