I have to say first I love Billy Joel! I know this story personally. It took place in the mid- 90's. My brother Frank was his fed-ex man for yrs while married to Christie and daughter Alexa in the Hamptons. So he delivers a package that day and Billy told m to brother that Paul was coming over for dinner. Well something was discussed between Billy and my brother about the meal. My brother said" hate to tell you this ,but Paul is a vegetarian!" So Billy said " thanks Frank, I better go in and hid the meat! Absolutely true story!
The McCartney's were notorious assholes when it comes to this. Stories about roadies not being able to eat meat anywhere around them, etc. even being fired over it.
What a great interview. I am a huge Billy Joel and Paul Mccartney fan and I had all these questions but Howard took them right out of my mouth! Well done!!!
I'm sure Paul understands that there's going to be meat in most people's refrigerators. He became a vegetarian at the age of 33 when he found he didn't have the stomach for butchering the livestock on his farm in Scotland.
Your right up there with Sir Paul....Two of the greatest players and writers of our time for sure.....You da Man too Billy!!!!...sing us a song Piano Man.....Long live Paul & Billy......
Howard Stern has mastered the art of interviewing. His rhythm, flow, content and his ability to elicit interesting anecdotes far exceeds the talk show hosts who are out there now bumbling and fumbling and acting like clowns more than interviewing. Well done!
Thank you guys for uploading this and the recent music in studio performance.....Those are amazing. I hope you guys can get Billy Joel on one more time because not only is his music amazing, he has great stories!
It always strikes me about Billy Joel how down to earth he is, whenever we r in Montauk I look for him in traffic, but the funny thing is, when I watch Ringo Starr, and u know his brother in law is probably one of the greatest guitar players in the world, Joe Walsh, who used to be the biggest stoner in the world, and now hangs out and Jams w Paul McCartney, and I always wonder if Joe ever sez, How the hell did I get here

THAT'S IT? Billy & Paul hung out and jammed?🙄Pft! I can beat that..When 17 my BFF lived across street..one day his 13yo bro knocked on our door sayin "he accidentally got locked out of their house and needed to take a shit" BOOM!
Seriously Mr. Joel???? It's YOUR house, YOUR meat, YOUR fridge. It's not like you're gonna serve the meat. If your vegan guest can't respect you & your choices as much as you respect him & his choices, then SCREW him, tell him to leave.
When you come to MY house you put up with MY shit. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of the 20th Century. I saw him live when he was 74 years old and it was the greatest concert I've ever seen. He's the Mozart of the 20th Century. But that doesn't make him the boss of my kitchen.
Yeah, there are moments when I get together with William Shepard, aka Billy Shears - or who the public knows as Paul (everyone in the business knows it's Billy and not Paul... when is this going to finally come out?)
I wouldn't have hid anything from McCartney. So what if he's a vegetarian/vegan, that's his thing. I'd eat it in front of him, just to see his reaction...🥩🍖🍤
"I didn't want to bother him with my meat.'
Ha!
You know you’re a legend when billy Joel looks up to you
I got really confused by the title...
I read "meth" instead of meat.
I thought the punch line of the story was that Paul was gonna go through his drawer, find the meat there and go "what kind of weirdo is this guy?"
I have to say first I love Billy Joel! I know this story personally. It took place in the mid- 90's.

It's true, I was the door bell.
Janice D'Ambrosio My brother, Ted was his UPS man for a while. No cool stories like this though.
Without a doubt one of my all time favorite singer/song writer/musician, Billy Joel.
Finite Tuning a dying breed for sure
My favorite
A real friend would never be offended by ones meat.
The McCartney's were notorious assholes when it comes to this. Stories about roadies not being able to eat meat anywhere around them, etc. even being fired over it.
James Tobin this is the first time they hung out. They’re weren’t real friends (yet).
What a great interview. I am a huge Billy Joel and Paul Mccartney fan and I had all these questions but Howard took them right out of my mouth! Well done!!!

Billy Joel: Nice to meat you Paul...
Macca: Good bye and Good day sir...
Sorry
underrated comment
Paul: You say hello... And I say goodbye
Sorry? For what? LOL I thought the same thing
One of the better story in music world, i could listen to Billy all night..
This isn't what I thought this video was gonna be about.
Howard Stern has mastered the art of interviewing. His rhythm, flow, content and his ability to elicit interesting anecdotes far exceeds the talk show hosts who are out there now bumbling and fumbling and acting like clowns more than interviewing. Well done!
Two great musicians for sure! 💗Billy & Paul!
I hope that doesn't become a fan base.
Thank you guys for uploading this and the recent music in studio performance.....Those are amazing. I hope you guys can get Billy Joel on one more time because not only is his music amazing, he has great stories!
Lol....3's company was indeed the King of that category....
Why would Paul McCartney open the fridge the first time he's ever been to Billy's house?
It's Paul, he can do anything
Holy fuck Howard is able to get such original material out of his guests!
It always strikes me about Billy Joel how down to earth he is, whenever we r in Montauk I look for him in traffic, but the funny thing is, when I watch Ringo Starr, and u know his brother in law is probably one of the greatest guitar players in the world, Joe Walsh, who used to be the biggest stoner in the world, and now hangs out and Jams w Paul McCartney, and I always wonder if Joe ever sez, How the hell did I get here
"A treasure hunt for your meat". Funny.
What a great story!!! Love you Billy and Howard.
He had to hide his salami, oh my God LMAO
This whole thing had more sexual innuendo than a Three's Company episode.
Awesome! Billy and Paul are my top favourite solo artists!
Yet, he left his stack of Playboys right on the coffee table.

Paul: Hey Billy, I heard that your first album was with a heavy metal band called Atila. Do you have a copy I could look at?
That lady “in drawers, meat”?. Can’t believe nobody made a joke of that
Howard is the best
He also hid his meat during a visit from Elton John.
billy joel is such an ordinary dude
Sonny with extraordinary talent
@Sonny except he has a helicopter pad in his backyard
I love how Billy Joel thinks Paul McCarthy is the songwriting master yet Billy is right up there, equal to him.
Pink Poodle Crafts ... no Bloody way
You mean Paul McCartney lol.
*McCartney
McCARTNEY******
Pink Poodle Crafts exactly
It would’ve made a lot more sense if the title read ...”from vegan Paul McCartney”.
Hiding one’s meat in his ‘drawers’...Don’t all guys do that?
Early Billy Joel albums do sound a bit like Paul McCartney. Now, it makes sense why!
OMG, this is all time hilarious!!!! :)
You only have one love ❤️
mmm yeaaah we talked! (new york accent) hahahah niceeeee
-UR TEENAGE HERO ASKS FOR -UR OPINION ABOUT HIS WORK AND HE'S MACCA AND -UR BJ -ZENITH
I thought it was Benji lmfao!
I thought Billy might say;
Paul; Billy there's a salami inside the Baby Grande.
Omg lol so funny billy joel hid his meat for Paul.
Is Billy Joel the bagel boss?
We Taw-ked. You can take the boy out of LI but...;-)
Howard should show his face more. He’s a good looking dude....from this angle at least
I am a slice of turkey breast and can confirm this happened!
Well then we know Paul has never been to Arby's because They HAVE THE MEATS 🍖 😳
Did he wipe his feet on your bear skin rug?
Wow. Pauls a freak, to bad 💔
❤
We're on the radio, of course we want a fucking anecdote
I wonder if Eric Clapton did the same thing when Paul McCartney would come to his house?
I feel like Paul wouldn't give a shit: he might be vegetarian but he's also a stoner. Live and let live (or die) 😛
Wow.
Why not just bin it in the first place?
A good Long Island boy.
Graffin and Gurewitz
Yea what the hell Billy Joel sounds like Benjy
Interesting title
Ayy shout out to Gilbert O'sulllivan
As for.....
The benefits of being a veggie:
Look at Billy............ then look at Paul
Do the math.
LOL Billy Paul isn't worth it man have Paul over eat you steak serve Paul turnip. You are THE PIANO MAN
Benji Joel
would have been real news had he said that they played hide the meat
Hilarious
If you think this story is funny you should hear Howie Mandel tell Howard Stern about the time he was with his daughter on the swing set.
Who really cares if he saw the meat? He should respect you for eating meat just like you respect him for not.
hide the salami !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT'S IT? Billy & Paul hung out and jammed?🙄Pft! I can beat that..When 17 my BFF lived across street..one day his 13yo bro knocked on our door sayin "he accidentally got locked out of their house and needed to take a shit"
BOOM!
The title is.... Uh.... It's fine.
Nointh
The meat.....
Why would he even look in the fridge?
That's fucking weird
Seriously Mr. Joel???? It's YOUR house, YOUR meat, YOUR fridge. It's not like you're gonna serve the meat. If your vegan guest can't respect you & your choices as much as you respect him & his choices, then SCREW him, tell him to leave.
I thought the same. I wouldn't go to great lengths like that for anyone.
Pak RT ...exactly..my house..my rules! Id offer him a nice roast to eat!
Pak RT He probably doesn’t wanna have to do that.
Weeks later there was a rancid smell....
When you come to MY house you put up with MY shit. Paul McCartney is the greatest songwriter of the 20th Century. I saw him live when he was 74 years old and it was the greatest concert I've ever seen. He's the Mozart of the 20th Century. But that doesn't make him the boss of my kitchen.
Easy there tough guy.
Foist
Yeah, there are moments when I get together with William Shepard, aka Billy Shears - or who the public knows as Paul (everyone in the business knows it's Billy and not Paul... when is this going to finally come out?)
I wouldn't have hid anything from McCartney. So what if he's a
