Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Remastered & Revisited (Extended Interview)

Who else thinks Elton John Is the greatest musician of our time??
I was a college freshman when this album was released. I told my roommates, “It’s very rare when you find an album where you like every single song.”
Simply one of the best albums of all time...I listened to it until I wore it out.
Those who are dissing the younger artists completely missed the point of the end of this interview, you are getting mixed up with the star like quality and the celebrity side of him, but you guys are forgetting that he is a musician first, and musicians love music, different types of music, different people, the collaboration side of the music, hearing how other people outside of your direct circle can interpet an already famous piece of work, the intent of the remastered version was for creative freedom that is revamped to something different, each of the younger artists may not have a known legacy such as Elton John but they certainly did a great job at bringing a new sense of life in the music.
I'm 33 and I love Elton John's music especially goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Shout out to Ian Beck for illustrating one of the best album covers ever.
I bought this album when it came out in the '70s, when I was a teenager, and I loved the album immediately. However, the one criticism I had then was, and still have now is, only with the cover art and Elton walking through the door to the yellow brick road. The cover showed Elton's whole back, yet showed only one rear cheek; and, so, I've hated seeing that poorly conceived cover art of Elton for just coming up on 50 years now. If that was my album I was making, that cover artist would've been sent back to his drawing board to finish his work.
I swear that I cannot get enough information and look-backs at the early Elton John years (1970-1975) To me, he really didn't exist after that. I was in my early to mid teens at the time. Unbelievable time for music, in general, as well.
I bought the original on cassette and played it until it wore out. So obviously I bought it again.
One of the most important albums in music history. There is something / a song for everyone on it. Elton's masterpiece in the true sense of the word.
I like the fact that Elton gives credit where credit is due. He's a musical genius but he's not a one-man band.
I will always remember the very first time I ever heard Bennie and the Jets.
Elton, you have brought me years of joy and happiness.
Best Elton John album bar none. I can sit and listen to this album and feel like it was released yesterday.
My all-time favorite album. EJ fan since 1975.
Listening to the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road takes me back to1974 when I was 16. I played it so often I had to buy another copy before the year was over. I became a fan in 1970 on the first day of junior high school when I found a copy of Elton John's first UNI record in my locker.
Love how EJ is so encouraging and promoting new people and young up and comers. He has a phenomenal lexiconic knowledge of music and artists that is mind blowing. Album sounds amazing.
My teen years were saved by this album. I couldn't get enough EJ back in the mid 70's and I certainly needed distractions from a rough childhood. So between immersing myself in the Beatles and Elton - it was a certainty that I wanted to be a musician. Many other influences shaped my musical journey as well, as the 70's were a fertile ground for musical creativity and exploration, but there was something about EJ's songs in particular, as well as that rockin' original band, that was just infectious. But G.Y.B.R. was the pinnacle of his creative peak. There is no question that this collection is one of the greatest pop albums ever created. And as a huge Beatle fan, that is saying an awful lot. I love that Elton listens to new music and is a rabid fan as well. As a true musician, he appreciates what's great about the current landscape, even if you have to dig through some of the crap to find it. The other artists here did a great job in honoring these iconic songs, with their own twist on Elton and Bernie's creations. I love that he gives them so much credit for what they've done. One "cover" that need a special mention is the Sara Bareilles version of this title track, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". If you love the song as much as I do - PLEASE find it here on CZcams and you will be VERY glad you did..! Elton himself was blown away by it so much that he was quoted as saying that it might be better this his version. It's that good - and you'll need a Kleenex for this one. Very powerful stuff indeed. But it would have not been possible without a great great song to start with. Thank you Elton for all the joy and all of the musical passion you helped created in me. "Someone saved my life" ..... indeed ..!!
During the Aids crises, I walked past a deserted bar in NY 's Greenwich Village called Yellow Brick Road. Whenever I think back to those days, the song that stands out in my mind is always Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. We were all seeing too many young people die. "This boy is too young to be singing the blues", are the lyrics that stand for the whole experience for me, and the words haunt me to this day. A beautiful song with heart . Thankyou Elton.
I would love to hear Enya sing "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".Elton is the greatest..
