I went to the "Chicago" Borders stop. It was great. A friend who was initially going to go with me had her baby and wasn't able to make it. Billy was gracious to sign her CD along with mine. He was very kind and I really enjoyed meeting him and getting to say thanks for the music!

Found Billy Squier when I was a kid,around 1980 and he was one of the best for me,he helped me through all the changes of my life. I mean it's between him and Foreigner for my number 1. Come on Billy,we wanted more and don't care what it is buddy. You are great and never forget us. We are with you

I love this, the opening song and The Stroke as a blues song, beautiful stuff! I'm glad Squire is still making music, he has a beautiful voice. I could listen all day. When I was a teenager,my friend Suzie died in her sleep, we didn't even know she was sick. She was such a huge Billy Squire fan, we made sure she was buried with one of his concert tee shirts. I mean, she lived in them when she was with us, so why not? He made her so happy in her short life and I'll always love him for that.

I've always had a good impression of Billy Squire since the 80s. I don't mean just that I like him and his music, which of course I do. He's a very talented singer song writer rock musician. Beyond all that in all the interviews I've seen of him over the years, he comes across as grounded, intelligent, perceptive, introspective even intellectual. And he has other interests besides just music, including apparently even studying art history. The last thing Billy Squire is is the cliche of a self destructive rock star who succumbs to drugs and alcohol and then loses all his money. This guy is on the ball!

I was at the Paramus, New Jersey show which was the first time I had the honor to meet him. Met him again during the 2009 tour. Billy's the greatest, and should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

I've always enjoyed Billy's music as he's got a unique and great voice for singing. He puts his voice and vocals to fantastic tunes such as "In The Dark", "Rock Me Tonite", "Now Ain't The Time", "Calley Oh", "Anyday", "She's A Runner", "The Big Beat", "The Music's All Right", "See Me Through", "My Kinda Lover", "Too Daze Gone", "Lonely Is The Night", "Like I'm Lovin' You", "Everybody Wants You"!! It would be really cool to hear and sing his songs from his Piper dayz!

I saw him when he came to Michigan and got his autograph. I forgot to bring my camera(crap). Still unhappy about that. Maybe I can meet him again one day.

It seems odd that Billy would ever become disillusioned about his abilities, as great a songwriter and guitarist he is. Not to mention being a proven, repeated success.

ALL artists should follow what's in their souls... it's a lesson we all need to learn. Artists need to survive, so of course they go for the money, I too do things that aren't creative to make money, but if we follow what's truly wanting to flow out, others would most likely love it even more, or maybe the audience would shift, or whatever... we should all try to remember to be open to change, and go with the Flow. :-)

Billy didn't lose anything by not being in touch with the music industry for that period of time. The man is filthy rich and is making Big Money all the way around with anyone touching his music and there are Several industries
