#billyidol #rebelyell #80srock
Consider how successful Billy Idol was, and realize there was NO ONE out there trying to copy him. No one else blended punk, metal, and synthpop so well!
Cyberpunk
The mold broke with him. One of a kind!
Billy idol wasnt really one of a kind he was a blast from the past in our present,he was true rock and roll,but driven by Elvis, Little Richard,Jerry Lee Lewis,A time forgotten ,I would place Billy Idol with the Stray cats,rock and roll with swagger,and grit.
@@craigdotson 50s Rock & Roll sounds very different to Punk, Metal and New Wave.
Amen
"Eyes without a face" is my favorite Billy Idol song
Mine as well❤
Me too
Same, although Flesh For Fantasy is a very close second
Mine too.
Fantastic. Love Eyes Without A Face.
billy idol is just loved by evryone no matter what musik you usualy are listen to
"80s is old-school future." That's just about the most accurate and succinct description of that decade I've ever heard. Perfect!!!
that's why it still sounds futuristic. the futurism was built in. that's why the weeknd can do 80s synth pop and sound current today.
I agree 100% On a somewhat related note the Tesla Cybertruck looks like what a futuristic vehicle from the 80's would look like today.
In an interview, Kiefer Sutherland admitted he got his inspiration for his look in The Lost Boys from Billy Idol.
Billy Idol rocked the 80ies! You gotta pump your fist in a circle and curl your lip while you sing.
That's the visual I always get when someone mentions Billy Idol.
Don't forget that Billy Idol invented the open mouth duck lips decades before chicks started doing it for selfies.
Doesn't everyone already do that? :)
@@danielm.oliver1131 I think sid vicious was first.
I'm still salty that his "Cyberpunk" record didn't took off and that it marked the beginning of the end of his career. It was a messy but brilliant and innovative record at the time and i really would've liked him to continue with his stardom power throughout the 90s. He was such a beloved original that he could've survived the impact of grunge. Come to think of it, he didn't survived that even with a very 90s record, so scratch that theory, lol.
His guitarist, Steve Stevens, is amazing!
Absolutely!! An insane guitar player!!
Yep! Major props to Steve!
He sure is.
The intro is genius: one guitar doing the low and high parts; flamenco style in a rock song.
Love the Black Light Syndrome Albums
White Wedding rocks too.
This album only gets better with time. Incredible production and performance. Billy Idol is a legend... still on tour today, with Steve Stevens! "popular for a reason" 100%
Eyes Without a Face for a mellowed out Billy.
Billy Idol had the best scream of the 80s. His music and voice just stay in your head. The production in Rebel Yell is some of the best.
Agreed, the production is top notch
I just saw him in concert last Saturday. I've been a fan since the early 80s and I FINALLY marked this item off my bucket list. Fantastic show and he and Steve Stevens still have it, decades after they started and into their 60s, for heaven's sake. Billy's an 80s gem and a forever favorite!
Glad you got see them finally! Been a bucket list show for me as well, wanted to see them Wednesday night but just wasn't able to make it. I've been a fan since I first heard them back in the early 80s, Billy's voice and Steve's playing hooked me from the start.
I just did the same with Depeche Mode last month and omg, they did not disappoint! (There’s lots of videos on here from the current tour, but I recommend looking up San Antonio especially; yeah, I was there, but everyone else is saying the same thing in the comments: compared to the audiences in CA, NY, etc, San Antonio had the best audience experience, everyone up dancing and singing along the whole time. Still too many damn cell phones, people too focused on recording the whole thing, not really being present and just enjoying the experience, but less so than in other US cities. European audiences don’t seem to be nearly as bad about that.) I’ll be 48 in 3 days longtime DM Devotee, but somehow never got to see them live til now, and this was the best concert I’ve ever been to, hands down. The energy level in the whole arena was insane! DM are known for their live shows and how well Dave gives such amazing energy as a frontman, really pulls the audience in and up-his energy is infectious. Even at 60-61 yrs old, they’re still absolutely killing it! If you have the opportunity to see them on their current tour, GO!!!
Hi
Hi greedings from Germany.. A local Band of my Hometown had a Cover.. 🎸😁Check it out.
:"Smoke Blow-Rebel yell, live Pumpe" :.. *a Bit more dirty.. Enjoy
Thank God I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Two great decades for music and culture!
"80s is old-school future." Yes, it was just like this. Absolutely perfect description.
Congratulations!
That was hilarious 😂
Eyes Without a Face!!
I'm 53 and I still rock the shit out of the 80's rock, metal and rap. The 80's was the best time of my teenage life. And I was also introduced to a bottle of Rebel Yell at a party when I first heard this song back then..... 🤪🙃🤘😎🤘
I admit it; I played the hell out of this cassette tape in the 80s. 🎸🎸🎸
all of us have in some form played the hell out of Billy Idol :D
ME TOO.
Same here!!! It's just damn good!! 🤘🏻
@@JenSell1626 Columbia House AND BMG LOL.
@@nikiivanov1 Guilty as charged. The piece of foam that rubs dirt off the tape actually fell off I played it so much. Never have to any other cassette I had.
As a Billy Idol impersonator for the last 30+ years, I feel you did a great job here and paid a lot of RESPECT to him and his artistic abilities. He’s still rocking today. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I want to hear more, more, more!
You gotta see thhe video! it gives you a full vision of this song and Billy's personality!
"Cradle of Love" is not only a banger but when the video came out it's all the guys at school talked about 😆
Yup....it's was considered controversial at the time. I'll always have a soft spot for 80s music.
Yeah..the girl was hot. 😳😏
@@UA-camstaffRMaoApologists Yup was a teenager in the 80's best music and movies. The fashion though not so much, lol.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241
Same and agreed....
The Splitz.....!!
Seen him in concert. He sounds the same on stage as in studio. Awesome production.
Billy Idol - Rock the Cradle of Love (official video)
The thing with 80’s sounds, especially the early 80’s, these keyboards were new ideas and sounds. Everyone was being creative with these sounds. Programmed sounds were being used as music. It was a Wild West frontier so to speak. Everything you hear in the 90’s, 00’s, and beyond started with these 80’s pioneers with something new and not knowing what the potentials were yet. As a rock guy most of us didn’t like it even back then, but a few people, like Billy Idol was pretty genius at blending the two genres.
So true what you said about the sound of the 80s sounding futuristic. Hell ya man!!
Yeah. The 80s had so much ambition. So much hope and ambition for the future. And it reflected in music and movies.
And honestly it’s all coming back now for a reason.
It's funny that you mentioned lasers . Steve Stevens the lead guitarist actually used a toy ray gun on the guitar in the solo to get that ray gun sound!
I remember seeing some live footage of him, all of a sudden he just whips out a ray gun off a nearby mic stand right in the middle of his solo and doesn't miss a beat. That blew my mind.
Billy is one of the most charismatic rock stars alive. One of the G.O.A.T.s
Billy idol was originally asked to record “Don’t You Forget About Me”, but Simple Minds ended up with it. It was their biggest hit and upset the band because they didn’t write it and didn’t much like it. Billy did eventually record it so it’s available to listen to.
His version actually is better imo. 😅 You can tell it was written for him
Simplicity can be easier to play, but you know what, it's not always easy to write.
I saw Smokey Robinson once say "The hardest song to write is a simple song." You encapsulated that in your own way.
Exactly! It takes immense creativity to write an easy and catchy song!
@@linda-brookethompson5345 I look at a song like Yesterday, and it's so powerful in its simplicity. A message you don't want muddied by complications, and it hits so effectively.
@@sydhamelin1265 I'm not familiar with that song. Is it by toto?
@@linda-brookethompson5345 It's by The Beatles, though Paul McCartney was the only 1 who actually performed on the song. It's become the most covered song of the Rock Era.
I like that you call him a "Rock Star" since he's in that commercial about normal people using the phrase "Rock Star" for each other. White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, Dancing With Myself, Catch My Fall, Hot in the City,, To Be a Lover, Cradle of Love and his remake of Mony Mony.
Yeah I always liked Billy Idol. He was definitely a staple for any 80's soundtrack
Yes!!!!!!!! Stevie Stevens on guitar is a BEAST!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it's just a great song! Timeless. I think White Wedding is another banger you'd like, but this one is probably my favorite.
I love white wedding as well very much. Billy idol and George Thorogood
Ohhh, One more thing, the Guitar player/soloist is none other than the great Steve Stevens who was the cat that played the lead guitar part on the Top Gun Theme.
If they haven't, they've gotta listen to that song. Steve is the MAN!
Hot in the City and cradle of Love
Great reaction!!! Billy was actually a huge hit on MTV in the early 80s and by the middle of the 80s was selling out arenas. White Wedding, Mony Mony, Eyes Without A Face, Sweet Sixteen, Dancing With Myself, are great additions for future reactions.. And if you guys give him a shout out, maybe he'll reach out to you like some of the other bands have done to you in the past. . I know ppl who are friends with him, & they say he's a very appreciative guy. Who knows, maybe he'll bring you to his show in Vegas on Oct 20th or the 21st?
Billy Idol was and still is amazing. He's got a host of songs that are incredible in variety of styles. And his signature look has inspired mimicry from many.
Love this song . Billy Idol was so f"*king cool back then it was unreal. Watch the video sometime It was a blast .
If I could go back to the 80's.
Good times.
He's still rocking, and I've really liked some of his newer stuff. Love his song Bitter Taste that came out about a year ago.
Yes! That was a great song.
Yeah , bitter taste is great.
His new album is very good!
Loved it.
Billy Idol + Steve Stevens = fire
I just saw Billy idol again last month and both he and Steve Stevens still ROCK! I would add that Steve Stevens is such an underrated guitar player. He deserves more shine for sure.
This song is the perfect song to dance, headbang and make funny faces while singing (at the same time) 😂😅... and yeah... the synths are cool as hell.
So much more to discover with Billy. Mony Mony, Hot in the City, Got to be a lover, White Wedding, even his slower stuff like Eyes without a Face and Sweet Sixteen are well worth a listen. And Steve Stevens guitar work, amazing.
The LIVE version of Mony Mony is excellent. And Blue Highway has a jam at the end that's pure class. Not '80's shred, but top notch blues rock guitar. Love it.
Yes...I had a Billy Idol haircut in junior high...he was that big. Steve Stevens is a beast...plain & simple
Steve Stevens is the guitar player and one of the best the 80’s produced. He’s still out there shredding.
The production and mixing of this is superb. All Idol's songs are superbly produced. The sound is fantastic.
11:17 - George already got the "sneer and fist pump" down 🤣🤣🤣
Anything that was popular at the time AND is still loved by a wide swath of people has got to be great. Billy Idol is one of those performers whose music still rocks almost 40 years later.
I LOVE that sound to but i was 12 in 88 and i sooo miss the 80s i soo would love a 80s theme party
"Eyes Without a Face" is one of his best. "Flesh For Fantasy" is also excellent.
Hell yeah. Song is 🔥 and I have covered it as a drummer a few times. This song slaps!
my friend likes to cover this live and he always brings as much of the crowd on stage to sing a long
You play, I’ll sing
If I'm having a challenging day at work, I put in Idol's greatest hits and let it ride! Brings me right back up!
You're the ONLY music reaction show I continuously watch. I've heard 90% of the songs you react to but you react how I've done majority of the time. It's awesome to see others seeing shit from another direction reacting similarly. Another sign music is universal. Love it.
THIS IS TIMLESS CLASSIC,MAN its fire
another Billy to listen too, Billy Squier. "Don't say no" great album
Billy is the man! I remember within weeks of this video coming out on MTV, I had my hair spiked up and my mom helped me bleach it out. Billy was more than life to a teen in the 80s.
Interesting you mentioned it makes you want to ride a motorcycle. Billy Idol had a serious motorcycle crash in 1990, right before his role in the movie "The Doors". In fact, in the movie, he's walking around w/ a cane, due to his accident.
His autobiography "Dancing with Myself" is a wild ride. A rock star life, indeed!
Super fun reaction as always. Thank you both.
Hell yeah, this song just rules! I am totally with you George. I love this stuff too. You were right on about the laser sounds too. During the guitar solo, Steve Stevens literally shot a toy ray gun into his pickups for that crazy lazer sound.
Love this song, it's my go to at karaoke.
Billy Idol, Ian Astbury and Michael Hutchence. My favorite 3...ALL have that rare it factor. Absolutely captivating! But 3 performers that need to be seen, not just listened to.
This was one of the biggest hits in the 80's. 'More, more, more!' They were playing this in my local grocery store the other day. LOL
Billy Idol is STILL releasing KILLER stuff!!
'80s is old school future' that one cracked me up !
I think you'd like White Wedding as well and Eyes Without A Face is his ballad with a cool experimental style video.
One of the songs of his that was a staple at highschool dances at the time was Mony, Money.
George, I don't advise listening to Rebel Yell while driving. It's one of those tunes that can get you a speeding ticket (you can probably guess how I know that. 😂)
The term you are looking for is also a genre of Cyberpunk called "Cassette Futurism" - what the future was imagined to be back in the 80's.
Eyes without a face......that's a MUST song to listen to 👌🏻💯🔥
Steve Stevens is an underrated genius on guitar.
Incredibly underrated guitarist
I can’t tell you how many nights we danced to this and more down the local disco which had tiled floor light squares.
This fifty-something broad loves BI's music, and the musicianship surrounding him. He'll be here in Denver in April - just a heads up, in cases folks are wanting to catch him, check his tour dates.
"The 80s is like what we thought the future would sound like." That's exactly what was going on. It was the decade the whole world agreed that the future was now. Haha
Truly one of those unmistakable voices in music.
Another hit from this album is Flesh For Fantasy.
Deep cuts include Blue Highway, Daytime Drama, and Do Not Stand In The Shadows.
Billy Idol hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘
I really want to go find a live version of this now. Also, back in the Army reserves, the joke was "you're so idle they should call you Billy" so funny that is actually where he got it from.
This has to be up there with the most smiles per minute videos y'all have ever made
Im an old Gen Xer. I love blasting this on my truck stereo, windows down, late at night, going 85 down a darkened interstate!
Eyes Without a Face another GEM 💎💎💎
Billy idol is a rabbit hole you must go down please. Many many hits, even cameo in them wedding singer. Excellent group for you to do.👍👍👍
Graduated in 1985! A Classic!!!! You would have to have lived in the 80's to understand!!!!!
80’s are my favorite musical decade looking back followed by the 90’s. There was just so much creativity and talent. I don’t feel like a lot of musicians today possess the same level of talent on a general level, some do, but not as an overall.
I was 23 when this came out, so as somebody's sister, cousin, aunt, mother and grandmother, I love this shit 🤘
Billy Idol was my first musical IDOL.
I love the 80s and 90s! Those decades feel unchained... So much passion in so many forms! Be it that decadent 80s sound or that rough around the edges 90s sound, I'm here for it. Not just in music man, look at the movies from those decades! So much creativity on display!
keeping it simple and still be captivating with your musik is where its at
I knew you guys would love it. As y'all said, it has all the elements, and Billy was born to be a Rock Star. Now please do "White Wedding (Parts I & II)," "Dancing With Myself," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh For Fantasy" and his *incredible* cover of "Mony, Mony" originally done by Tommy James and The Shondells in 1965. You will most definitely NOT be disappointed.
Billy is that rare breed: Just commercial enough for the masses, he definitely drew the girls in, but all the rocker dudes respected him. Because of his kick ass guitarist Steve Stevens he even incorporates some Heavy Metal in some of his songs, like this one and "Eyes Without A Face," so the vast majority of the Metal community also loves Billy. He's just an all-around star. Definitely an idol, and in the best ways possible. 🤘🏻
I love. My Idiol & Screaming Steve Stevens on the guitar 🎸
Sorry I can’t stop commenting- the 80s was the absolute best time to grow up! I was about 10 when the 80s started so I truly lived through it. I can’t tell you enough what a great time the 80s was.
this was rock and roll to me...we dont have this today,
Billy Idol was so huge in the 80's. I live eyes without a face and white wedding.
one of the first outsider music i listened to before i became as metalhead.
After years of watching y'all and gone to another account, I finally gave in to patreon. This is fun. You guys my first patreon membership ever.
"I'm sure he pioneered something". I laughed and chocked on my own spit when he said that. I love this channel.
Loved the little rant from George about why popular shit is popular. So true. People get caught up in their own bubble of taste sometimes.
"Rebel Yell" was the name of a bourbon (it was rebranded just a few years ago to just "Rebel") that happened to be Keith Richards' favorite bourbon. Story goes that Billy Idol was at a party (at Ron Woods' place IIRC) and he joined Keith and Mick drinking from a bottle of Rebel Yell and the label inspired him to write this song.
Great reaction vid guys (as always).
Hell yeah, Billy Idol
Billy is still crushing it today🤘🏻
Still banging this tune today in 2023!
Me my little sister and little brother used to play tennis racket guitars and use wooden spoons as drums when Billy idol songs came on MTV in the 80’s!! Lol such good memories growing up in the MTV era! Steve Stevens was awesome with his cool hairstyle and clothes!
my mom and I would drive to colorado for vacation, this is one of the tapes we had in the car that I listened to the whole way. I prob drove my mom nuts.
This is one of those songs that embody the 80's.
A banger. Love it! 👏🏽
White wedding is another great song! Keep it up, guys!
My fave Billy Idol song!! Great live performer as well!! Love him❤
George please feel free ro like what you wish. Its music, its like food subjevtive to taste. Also Spike from Buffy Vampire Slayers look was taken from Billy. Your guys enjoyment brings a smile to my face.
