Billy Martin (William Dean Martin) (born June 15, 1981) is the guitarist for punk rock band Good Charlotte. Born in Annapolis, Maryland. Martin has been playing guitar since he was in 6th grade. He received his first guitar for Christmas, and has been playing in bands ever since. His first band was Overflow, started with friend and DJ and Steve Sievers, who now helps Billy run his clothing line, LeveL 27.
Billy Martin was a pseudonym that Billy Joel briefly adopted around 1972, in an attempt to get away from what he perceived at the time was mismanagement and the fact that his first album, Cold Spring Harbor, was, according to him, mixed too fast, making him sound like a chipmunk, started playing piano in bars in Los Angeles, California under the pseudonym "Billy Martin". (Billy's full name is William Dean Martin, so it wasn't much of a pseudonym.) Anyway, the experience gave him material for the title track to the Piano Man album.
