JOEL REGRETS ATILLA ALBUM COVER
The cover of BILLY JOEL's first album with rock band ATILLA still haunts the PIANO MAN.

Joel reluctantly posed as a barbarian, surrounded by chunks of raw meat, for the band's one-off 1970 album, and he still cringes when reporters remind him of the cover shot.
He tells the new issue of Details magazine, "I knew that was going to haunt me all my life. I hated doing the photo session. I thought it was a horrible idea.
"I was like 19 or 20, and... the guys from the record company are going, `No, this is a great idea,' and the art director's saying `Oh, it's going to be fantastic.'
"I said, `This is stupid and I feel like an idiot.' I was right."
