Vos lo bautizaste como el Top Gun yo también le agregaría el "alma musical" de lo que fue y actualmente es este artista que aún sigue sorprendiéndonos con sus interpretaciones.

    There will never be a time ever in our history like the 80s and 90s. The music, musicians are irreplaceable.

      You got to add the 70's and part of the 60s to that, but it truly ended with the 90's. Music sucked after that.

      Personally don't care for most of the 60s stuff with the exception of The Doors and a few others. The 70s were pretty "meh" as well to me. It was truly the very late 70s when music started to get really, really good. From 1978 up until about 2000, the music was just excellent.

      Irreplaceable is a perfect word to describe great musicians. I had a bass player named RIP ED JONES who was IRREPLACEABLE 💖

    Always such a perfect, phenomenal voice. Balm for eyes and ears. I'm watching and singing this right now (12.6.2024). What a perfect performance. My still N01 singer for 42 years since I've been listening to him since I was 14. To this day, I listen to him regularly as if he had just released all those songs. Each one was a hit and was played at discos and parties. I listen to them today as on the first day with the same enthusiasm and passion. It's like it hasn't been that many years since I've been listening to them. That's why all his songs are timeless hits. Billy Idol forever in the heart of a Croatian woman.❤️🇭🇷❤️

    I can’t believe how insanely good Billy’s voice is and S.S. is one of our greatest guitarists, criminally underrated.

    • @hogluvr1

      TRUTH! Stevens has always been so underrated. His signature rivals that of EVH, Satriani, Lynch, Vai, just to name a few. Billy's voice is still going strong. Today's kids missed out on most of the good stuff, but these guys a still doing it!
