Every boy in the 80's wanted to be as cool as Billy Idol.
And than he appeared in The Wedding Singer. 😄
I still want ;)
Its 2024 and I still want to be as cool as Billy Idol.
And Billy wanted to be as cool as Elvis 🙂
I wanted to be as cool as Steve Stevens
Dancing With Myself, White Wedding, Flesh for Fantasy, Eyes Without A Face.
Hell yeah! The next 4 that must be done!!
All great! 🤙
1000% agree with all them songs you just named 👍
Eyes without a face made me want a head without ears. I need hard rocking Billy Idol lol
Hot in the city?
Billy Idol + MTV + 80’s = were HUGE! You young ones would’ve loved it!
Ahhh, The Young Ones....
Billy Idol was the coolest guy in the world back then.
The quintessential Rock & Roller.
Hell, he might still be.
He really still is. Dude is 60 and still has rock solid abs and sounds just as good as he did.
He also had a small role in Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
Still is wtf you talking bout
Billy Idol! "The Elvis of Punk Rock"!
This, and throw in some dark synth to his sound. Billy was ahead of his time, as well as one of the first big stars of 1st gen MTV. It wasn't the 1st, but I think Dancing With Myself was one of the earliest MTV videos.
What are you talking about? Please, stop making senseless comments just to collect likes
@@RoyalDudeness No... what he says is true, Billy DOES have some Elvis influence in the way he sings. Sorry if you don't like it, but... facts.
Billy and Steven are still tearing up stages and the sound and energy hasn't faltered. 💛🤘🤙✌️
His voice is even better...man's voice is like butter.
They are touring in Canada this summer with Platinum Blonde
So you're starstruck, deaf and blind!
I think there's something timeless in his voice, that'll never go out of style.
I'd recommend Cradle of Love and White Wedding, both are bangers. Spent the 90s with Billy Idol cassettes lol
Body Snatcher also is good
You’re leaving out Eyes Without A Face
Aileen likes to rock, and it's my understanding that the Cradle of Love don't rock easily.
Nah, Dancing With Myself.
Oh yeah! Billy Idol will not disappoint. All good dancing music too.😊❤
That iconic Steve Stevens guitar effect that sounds like a rapid-fire laser...I FREAKIN' LOVE IT.
Steve Stevens is awesome and often overlooked when the topic of great guitarists comes up.
Sounds like a rapid-fire laser because he actually uses a toy laser gun on the pick ups at the end of the solo. Doesn't show it in this video because it's staged but if you watch the live videos, you can see him using it. Also saw an interview with him where he talks about it and trying to find the right toy laser to get the sound
Yes! I saw him do it live in Australia in 2020.
@@williamh4172 You are 100% correct
"Mony Mony" by Billy Idol... a must.
Mony Mony definitely! Live version is very cool!
Is there a version of it that is good quality with the lyrics that people in clubs used? The first time I heard Mony Mony was in a club and hearing the packed out club yelling at the top of their lungs the additional lyrics.
Agreed
@@louv9431 I rarely ever think the live version of a song is better than the recorded version, but the live version of this he released as a single is a massive improvement on the studio version.
@@stanleymyrick4068 The original 1981 studio version was a massive club hit but not a chart hit, so that is probably the one you are talking about. czcams.com/video/VPwMsu63PUU/video.html
Dancing with myself is one of his classics
Yes from his Gen X years, his solo remake is great!
Once upon a time... When MTV was great ❤. Going home after school MTV was the first thing to turn on.
No Billy Idol song is complete without the classic Billy Idol SCREAM.....the greatest screamer in rock 'n roll history!
I give you the counter argument of Wendy James, lead singer of Transvision Vamp, specific example "Baby I don't care". OK more I think about it, she's what you get if you gender swapped Billy Idol.
@@jon-paulfilkins7820always felt it was a shame Transvision Vamp weren't bigger.
I see you Billy Idol and yes Rock scream sure
Then there Metal scream.
Rob Halford Judas Priest frontman.
I would be hard pressed to top Bruce Dickerson Iron Maiden.
I was sooooooo fortunate growing up in the 80's. \m/
Facts..the 80s were the greatest years of my LIFE..beyond words.❤
Billy Idol is a British artist who started out during the '70s in the Punk band 'Generation X', he went solo in 1981. Songs which I recommend from him are:
"White Wedding",
"Flesh For Fantasy",
"Eyes Without a Face",
"Hot in the City",
"Catch My Fall",
"Mony Mony",
"Sweet Sixteen",
"Dancing with Myself",
"Cradle of Love",
"Shock to the System",
"Wasteland",
"Concrete Kingdom",
"Shangri-la".
There are many more but these are great ones to continue with.
This is the list right here ☝️
Generation X- "Kiss Me Deadly" is peak Billy Idol
@@donhaney7753 Great choice, I'm a big Generation X fan, I didn't include any tracks from them just yet until she got to hear more Billy solo.
@@shawnmaloney3763 Thank you, I thought that it has some good tracks on it.
Eyes without a face is a must
I remember when I was watching a Billy Idol video on TV with my sister when I was a kid, and my mom said "that guy is a lot like Elvis!" and you definitely see some influence there!
He, and Glen Danzig, had that "Heavy Elvis" kinda vocals when they wanted to.
@@stk0308 oh yes, Glen definitely gives Elvis vibes big time in some songs.
No one has a better sneer than Billy Idol. He is a total vibe as the kids say. My favorite Idol song is "Eyes Without A Face".
'Rebel Yell' surely is Billy's most iconic song, so it is a perfect place to start into his work. My favourite tune of his is 'Dancing With Myself', it is his most groovy, and I am sure that you will love it.
As someone who grew up in the 80s, I was a huge fan of Billy Idol. I was fortunate to see him in concert many years ago. I have the opportunity to relive my youth this September when I get to see him in concert again. So looking forward to it!
You won’t be disappointed! I’ve been a fan since 1982 or thereabouts and saw him live in Australia in January 2020, just before the world went crazy! Front row and VIP so I got to briefly meet him and Steve and get photos. Tell a teen girl living in Queensland watching Billy Idol on TV that she’d see him live and meet him one day and she'd think you’re crazy! 😝
Yeah Billy and his band are cool! The guitarist Steve Stevens is exceptionally good for a punk rocker! Billy has a pretty deep rabbit hole. Check out: White Wedding and Mony Mony!! Great reaction Aileen!
Billy was so much fun. Everything was so energized.
Billy Idol is Punk Rock Elvis. Right down to the snarl.
40 years later, and that song still gets your ass moving.
"Rock the Cradle of Love" is a great one too.
Once again, it's time for "I WANT MY MTV!!!"
Mony Mony is another huge Billy Idol hit with the super high energy of him in concert. Definitely will have you be dancing. 😊
William Broad, aka, Billy Idol! Wow, what an era. He became popular in pop-culture near the end of the punk rock era. The intention was to create his own punk sound with a twist of sassy sweetness…with a sharp raw edge. He created the persona when a teacher graded one of his papers and wrote that he was “idle” on the paper. He thought, no, I’m gonna be an “idol”. What a great era for rock music!
I’m glad you reacted to Billy Idol. So many more songs for you to explore.
In the 1980s-1990s there was a group of friends in Western Australia called The 7-11 All Stars. They performed as their idols but lip syncing. My Uncle was Billy Idol. He was the spitting image of him. He used to dress up and a friend would drive him around in a stretch limo with the rear window open a fraction. The girls and even some guys would chase the limo screaming. He performed at my high school in the late 80s. The girls were all drooling. One made a comment and I said that’s my uncle. He looked so much like Billy Idol. The leathers. Spiked blonde hair. The punk look. The curled lip when he was performing. No one believed me until he had finished performing and came backstage and hugged me and said hello. He appeared in our newspaper too. Such a great memory.
I see a few people saying White Wedding, and that is definitely a must. The guitarist Steve Stevens is super underrated and is exceptional. My old guitar tutor was in a Billy Idol tribute band, and Steve was his guitar hero, I mean he played it with a ray gun!
Eye's without a face
Definitely
The guitar work is ridiculously awesome 🎸
"Tht's what his voice sounds like..." I TOTALLY get it. GREAT reaction!
Billy Idol’s so good
Billy Idol made Punk Rock digestible to the mainstream in a way no one else did. His band had very clean, clear music... no heavy distortion to cover up lesser quality musicianship... along with his looks and vocal talents, he was almost tailor made for the MTV of the 80s.
Billy came out of the 70's punk scene. When he went solo in the early 80's, he combined parts of punk, rock, electronic/dance. His videos were huge staples of MTV in the 80's and 90's.
I'm 74 but I tell you what Billy idol in the day was super cool loved your reaction brought back a lot of wild memories keeps me young loved it
Give the new generations a taste of Billy Idol and they will go crazy just like those in the 80s did. Young Billy cannot be challenged.
Billy idol is severely underrated
Billy idol is a legend...🔥🎸
Always loved his music. He really understood rock. It's just fun to listen to and that's the entire point.
My favourite is ”Forgot tobe a lover” - Have mercy! 🤗
This is legit how his concerts were live back in the 80s. It was something that just had to be experienced. I will certainly never forget it.
Billy Idol is what you think of when you think the very concept of punk. Even though many punk fans don't really consider him a punk rock singer, he became the absolute epitome of punk fashion. Effortlessly cool to this day.
Before being a solo artist Billy was the lead singer of the Punk Rock band Generation X
Fun reaction and review 👊🏻
So many people don't know he was a member of Generation X, they only know his solo stuff. There is a good reason he has such a punk look.
@@Patryn71 agree…
Billy was originally in a punk band called Generation X with bassist Tony James, who went on to play bass in Sigue Sigue Spuntnik and Sisters of Mercy. They were both members of what is known as the Bromley Contingent (a town in South London where I grew up), Billy was living in Orpington at the time another member was Siouxsie Sioux from Chislehurst who fronted punk band Sioxsie and the Banshees.
As a teen in the late 90s I never understood why the older generation hated Grunge so much. At the time I just thought they were old and couldn't adapt, but I see it now. In the 70s and 80s Rock was a party. It was happy and sexy and fun, and then Grunge came in and turned the party into a funeral. Don't get me wrong, I still love Grunge and 90s Rock/Metal, but I do understand why all those old Rockers hated and mocked it.
We liked both…it wasnt either or it’s just move on.
Cradle of Love , Cage, Bitter Tate, Love Labours On, Eyes Without A Face, Speed, John Wayne, White Wedding, Shock To The System etc etc........this guys catalogue is endless and simply brilliant!!!! The lead guitarist Steven Stevens and Billy Idol were a dream team!!!! Magic!
Billy Idol Was Bitchin back in the 80's.
That voice, that snear! Thank you god for letting me grow up in the 80’s!
The official video for Idol's "To be a lover" oozes with that charisma you so rightfully admire in performers! Super fun, high-energy song with a nice side of Naughtiness as well amongst Billy and the female backup singers, lol!
Love him so much, what a freaking talented hot guy!
Billy Idol is old school punk meets 80’s metal I still love it
My son was born with physical challenges and required a lot of personal assistance. We rocked out with Billy, and it took us away from reality.
THIS was MTV back in the day! Billy was awesome! White Wedding is another kicker!
Saw him in concert with Faith No More opening up for him. This was after one of his motorcycle accidents and he had to walk with a cane, yet, he still killed it. One of the better concerts I ever went to.
A real rocker!!! The Best!!
fantastic beat, great grit in his voice, it's an epic tune, I was a teen in the 80's and bar hopping in the 90's and this song has always been a crowd pleaser, and gets people moving.
Billy Idol is one of my all time favourites. I have seen him live more than any other singer/group.
Billy Idol is 69 years old ! Wow time fly's when you having fun !
It's simply an awesome song
And he still looks as cool and good! 🔥
I remember the billboards of clubs back in the 80s promoted Billy Idol videos. That how huge he was. 😊
Their live shows were just as over the top! One of the best concerts you could ever go see at that point and maybe even still now. You will definitely be entertained!
This brings back amazing memories!!! I came of age at this time in history. 80's were the best, MTV played music and Billy Idol was the man!
I swear, Steve Stevens is one of the most underrated Guitarists still playing today.....The guy is amazing.
Billy was a new school, schooler of fools.
Freddie, was a close second.
The word you're looking for, when you can't quite put your finger on it...
British! Love you're appreciation... Rock's OK when it's UK. (PS... Nirvana slept on our soil and made their bones here .Not to say nobody else counts BUT nobody rocks before UK does
Billy was so forgotten... Thanks for the Re-up
So many anthems in the 80's. With a sneer that made many girls melt.
My local indie theater sometimes does 1980's Sing-Alongs and always a joy having some Billy Idol in it.
For an encore at a Billy Idol concert, does the crowd chant More, More, More!
Flesh for fantasy is next!
Billy Idol is a friggin' icon. Love his music.
I love him in the wedding singer! Get outta my way Billy! Love you Billy!!
Ah the 80's... such a great time to have lived without social media to record our every move!
Dancing with Myself. GOTTA be next! Also, Steve Stevens is an absolutely incredible guitarist!
I remember the first time I heard Billy Idol. I was 13 years old and crossing the country from Washington, DC to LA alone. I picked up a cassette of Billy Idol. I rocked out to White Wedding and the rest of the songs. I will bet I played it 20 times on the way there. That was kind of a surreal experience for a kid of my age at the time. But I made it there and back about 6 months later, once again, alone. Listening to him brings back the memories of that time. I would love if you would do White Wedding sometime.
Classic 80's British rock singer. You can't go wrong with a bit of Idol.
Rebel yell is a brand of whisky, he was drinking it at a party with the rolling stones and wrote this song about it
Crowd is going nuts
What's not to like about Billy? Almost every song is a banger.
You Cant not love this performance
Gotta have the Billy Idol sneer and fist pump. He has a great voice
If you ever get a chance to see Billy Idol…You Must Go!! Amazing Show!!
I am 56 and still love billy!!! Trust me he ruled the 80s
It never ceases to be Badass!
It's a nice day to start again
The MTV era was unmatched in music! You are stunning and I'm so glad to see you on my front page!
Omg I really miss the 80's . I was in those club's that were jam packed with people and you sweated your butt off. Not to mention drinking.
He is still going strong
Favorite reaction to this song! I grew up listening to Billy Idol, David Bowie,Prince, Cyndi Lauper, and so many more, I wish I could share that experience with the younger generations!
Billy Idol had the talent to back his outlandishness. You can't say that about singers today.....
Billy is one of my favorite artists. He is iconic, talented and arguably one of the best. He fused punk/pop/rock and made classic videos. His collaboration with longtime guitarist, Steve Stevens has been bountiful. They have made numerous classics. Sex, drugs, rock & roll! Billy was the middle finger to the establishment. Straight from his old punk band Generation X, he found a lane that blended it all, plus he was able to utilize video to bring it all together. Billy has often been compared to Elvis with his whiplash smile and low register.
Dude can really sing… and no one sounds like him - a true original
I'm glad I was able to grow up in the 80s with this kind of music
Cant go wrong with Billy
I was blessed to grow up with the 70's and 80's as my music
Billy Idol is like a rockabilly singer doing punk rock. Very cool blend.
Billy is actually quite interesting from a history point of view. He was a part of the Bromley contingent in the 1970s, which was a group of punks who followed the Sex Pistols around (my home town, where Billy was from). He was part of the 70s British Punk group, Generation X but moved to the USA in the 80s to start a solo career. His music has so many influences, ranging for straight up rock to punk and even new wave. His biggest influence though was Elvis Presley, hence the curled lip and the section of this song where he changes his voice to that lower register, almost mimicking Elvis.He even performed a song with Generation X called King rocker, which was about a fantasy fight between Elvis and Muhummed Ali.
Billy will be 69 (ooerr) in November, and is still recording music and touring. Saw him a few years ago live, and he is still bloody amazing.
That song was my introduction to Billy...I became an instant fan!
Famous for the lip curl, Billy had so many hits he was massive in the 80's. Check out "eyes without a face", "sweet 16" and "White wedding".
Saw him in concert in '85. This was one of our favorite songs to dance to, along with the Talking Heads "Burning Down the House"
The song, Eyes without a face will show u another side of him.
