Members TechBrother Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Why do you ask? Unable to form your own opinion? Is he trying to join your band? Trying to pin him up against Billy Joel in a no-holds-barred-piano-death-match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to pin him up against Billy Joel in a no-holds-barred-piano-death-match? Having Elton John in your band and a hot chick on bass is the shortcut to success these days.

Members TechBrother Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 i ask because he's known as a singer and a songwriter not a pianist Good call. For a second I though you might be a talented keyboardist trying to troll. I'm too young to know but wasn't the piano and the outrageous stage show his meal ticket back in the day? When he hit the scene guitar rock was king and he definately helped change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Karma1 Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 He had a live album out in the early 70's that really showed his keyboard chops - he can definitely play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members melx Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 He can play...no doubt about that. I don't think I know enough about playing the piano to say if he's okay, good or really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SG1 Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 Was'nt he a sort of session man in the late 60s 70s before he went solo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members machine gunner Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 My favorite keys player? no.An incredible songwriter and musician? yes (not including the Lion King stuff). +1 his early stuff w/ Bernie Taupin is classic. Tumbleweed Connection is one of the greatest albums of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
