Man, I had just graduated high school that summer.. I remember when that album hit. It was like getting hit with a bolt of lightning, fantastic album! Big albums came out that summer, EVH 1984, ZZ Eliminator, YES 90125. It was a great time for the music scene!
An iconic legend he is!…instrumental in defining an incredible generation of music! Listening to Billy was part of the “soundtrack” of my life in the early 80’s! I was 17 when he hit MTV with White Wedding. What an amazing time to be alive! Rock on Billy! And THANK YOU!
I grew up listen to his songs... I loved him! And now, by children also listen to his songs, They aske me to paly "eyes without a face" in my car all the time :D
Respect and appreciation for Billy...Sometimes late at night I would sing REBEL YELL for my female roomy 40 years ago in LA.😅 She didn't appreciate it despite my great singing voice.
Billy is one of the lucky ones which I will never understand. I was there at the height of punk and Gen X came on a little later but he somehow broke through. Sad that 100s of other punk bands never made it. I will never get why certain acts made it but others like The Ramones, DKs and PIL never broke through to the mainstream. Probably because their songs were too radical in subject matter.
how did he keep his british accent? his parents are from England (mother is Irish). when he was two years old, his parents emigrated to the USA. Has lived many years in NYC/los angeles..........

It’s never gets old no matter what
One of the greatest artist of all times. A trully timeless Idol.

LOVE Billy Idol - what incredible songs and voice! So much fun dance music!
And still looking good
Wow, the living legend. I was born in 1992 but the 80s is the best decade of music, almost everyone that I have asked, says that as well.
One of the G.O.A.T's 💯💪

Still cool, still relevant, a British legend

Respect and appreciation for Billy...Sometimes late at night I would sing REBEL YELL for my female roomy 40 years ago in LA.😅 She didn't appreciate it despite my great singing voice.
Billy please come back and do the legends slot at Glastonbury.
You would kill it!
Always impressed with his intelligence, even when young and still love the music
He's 70 years old and still looks amazing. Put guys half his age to shame
He is still 68 until November
I did the same thing. It was an astonishing compliment 🙃😎
I did the same thing. It was an astonishing compliment 🙃😎 especially when I said it to two generations of my awesome nieces
Well yeah he's 70 but most of his face is under 10 years old.
Hey Billy! You made our student union tv programming sooo much better hahaha ❤ Good to see you are working and happy 🎉🎉🎉
Would love to see him again in concert; saw him when I was in college in small club.

ONE OF THE BEST ROCKERS THERE IS NO DOUBT!!
I’m 57 as well and have loved Billy Idol since this came out!
When I was 25 he was great. I'm 65 now and he is still great. A pioneer.
Happy 40th Billy!
Has it been that long?
How does he sing like he does while he spoken voice is shot. Amazing.
Thank you for your great service!!! ^_^
Not one single controversy with this band. Now that's amazing!
Billy idol's music goes great for new York
Billy Idol would be awesome in a vampire movie. He is timelessly beautiful.
❤
Good questions from the interviewer!
The secret is that he never got married. That will keep you Immortal and wealthy!
Billy's hair still ROCK!
Class Act ❤
Lebt noch 👍 Ich erklärs dir, wenn du auf einer Party Billy Idol spielst dann kommen die Mädels, vor allem bei unplugged 😊
Man Billy Idol aged very well!
"Dont need a gun" should have been a big hit,
I have exactly the same birthday as Billy
🤩
That was a very nice sinsere interview.
Rock-punk STAR,Love His Songs
I was very surprised he speaks British english
Yep He handed in his punk notice after Generation X split.
😞
Still cool

I've lived my dream and not many can say that.. statement of insite
She calls him "Mr Idol" - I like that.....
When '83 is 40 years... Now I'm sad lol
A legend. The sneer isn't nearly as pronounced as it used to be!
Guess that's what happens with the cosmetic work that's been done 👍
Sometimes I feel like I'm so many steps behind,, I lv3 u,,umm excuse me but that will cost you 5cents 🎉
how did he keep his british accent?
his parents are from England (mother is Irish).
when he was two years old, his parents emigrated to the USA.
Has lived many years in NYC/los angeles..........
Legeeeend 💚💙🤍🥰😍🥳💜💚🤍💙💜💚🤍💙
Love; Love don't live here anymore 😊
There's only one Billy Idol.
I thought it came out in 1983
He named us.
His Paint it Black is superior.
He's still sexy🔥
I'll 3 you
Jesus 😅 I’m such a casual. I always thought he was American.
Billy Idol as well as Boy George reached the stardom in the music game, but they're not in the same league as Elton John, late George Michael and other English artists.
They never tried be. Both Billy and Boy can't be compared to anyone else. What? Billy is nothing like BG or George M. They are all so different.
Play Eyes without a facelift
Mr. Idol lol
Linsey was cute , but should have gave Billy the last word , just saying if we lived in a perfect world , but yeah cool beans and hot child in the city Dead On Arrival
then Gen X , ask about that
He's still sexy
