Yup. This is Billy at his best. We WERE different people then. It was a golden time for music in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.
Amen. It was an awesome time of new ideas, freedom of expression, and a REAL celebration of our differences. Sadly, that chapter has ended . . . For now.
Vinyl and big fucking speakers... No digital shit. That was the best time!!!
People are dumb. 'Eyes Without a Face' is a good Billy Idol song. It just represents another aspect of his abilities. The next big song of his is 'White Wedding'.
Agreed. Idk who tf keeps acting like its trash. Its getting anniying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah that’s an amazing song. The bass line is killer.
The 80's was a wild time. Everyone swened to be listening to everything. There was so much blending it's hard to describe.
The outlook, attitudes and looks were just perfect for the time.
White Wedding is great from him.
White Wedding is my favorite 🤘🔥
It has to be the full version, Parts 1 & 2
The feel that we don't feel today is FREEDOM. No restraint. Chaotic energy
Well put.
I was a teenager in the 80’s and I can’t think of another decade I would have rather grown up in! It was a BLAST!!!
Ditto! Born 1965. I wish there was a time machine to take me back from the hell of today...
A kid in the 70s, a teen in the 80s. We were the fortunate ones.
Before The Fun Stopped. I pity those who weren't around then. Now we've got ringside seats to the end days of Western Civilization. What a long strange trip it's been.
Same here born near the end of 69!
Amen. Graduated HS in 84. This was kicking then. I even had a handcuff belt. 😂😂 miss those days
80's had a WIDE range of music and in my opinion....was the best decade. Not just for music but people were happier and NICER. That was normal. We're got to turn things around before it's too late.
Amen. I thought we had this shit licked then. The whole vibe of the 80s in general was positive
I was 1-10 in the 60’s, 10-20 in the 70’s and 20-30 in the 80’s. Talk about the perfect time to be alive for those ages… 😁💖
Yes, 60's, 70's and 80's....great decades of music.
Me too, my parents did a bloody great job having us 3 girls at the perfect time. So spoilt for music in Melbourne Australia, and especially live music, it was a magical time to be alive!
Same age and yes it was a fantastic journey. Punk/new wave was a great pocket.
The 80s was the most incredible time to grow up. There was a new band and classic hit dropping what seemed like every day. Back then you didn’t make it unless you were top 1% type talented and the music came from the bands themselves not teams employed by the record company to manufacture your sound. Will never be another time to rival the 80s.
I think the 70s were better for growing up. No AIDS.
He's a total guilty pleasure!!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🥁🥁🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 One word of advice....HEADPHONES 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧
Sir, a bit of background here. In the 80s we never knew if we would live to see the next day. 3rd WW was VERY close at hand. Then in the 90s we finely were free of this sword of Damocles and could live our lives. I am 64 yo, this was my youth. Today most people forgot what was before the 90s. A lot of people are ignorant of our past in Germany and the rest of the world.
You be save and sound.
Elmar from Germany
Schöne Worte!!!! Stimmt alles!!!
"New wave was when the Punk rockers learned how to play their instruments!" I think that's a Chrissey Hind quote!
Possibly because they didn't use autotune back then. they really had this lost forgotten thing called talent. Note in 2024 Billy Idol still has it what a great performer go see him if you have the chance.
Every hot chick in high school either loved Duran Duran or Billy Idol, or both. It was that simple. They got tail like no one else.
Remember genx only had a radio...or buy an album or 8-track...We LOVED IT ALL!
And we made artists by going to brick and mortar record stores to buy physical copies even before videos. Kids played actual instruments and read and made music because it was taught for free in school. No auto tune. You had to sing. Literal garage bands were everywhere. Don’t get me started on the variety of radio stations.
Billy Idol’s band was called Generation X lol
No such thing as auto-tune or lip syncing. What you hear on studio album is what you hear in concert! Actual talent!! 🤘
OMG the 80's was so amazing to live through@@@!!!
"Billy a baaaaad boy"
You've summed up Billy Idol perfectly right there. He is the personification of "Rock Star". His attitude, his swagger, his look..... pure rock star
The guitarist is Steve Stevens .
He played guitar on Michael Jackson’s Dirty Diana studio and music video.
Miley and Billy sang Rebel Yell together at I Heart Radio.😊
He also did the Top gun theme song.
"New Wave" was a term invented by the manager of Talking Heads. They were playing at Punk clubs when they started, but radio stations had a prejudice against playing Punk music, so he created the term to differentiate them.
I was totally in the 80's. My teen years were in the 80's. Experienced 1980's in all it's glory!😊❤🔴🔴🔴
Write Wedding is classic Billy Idol!
Billy Idol has always had a touch of that punk music. He’s a bad man and The last I seen him he looked practically the same.
Good Billy Idol songs are "White Wedding" and "Mony Mony"... and also "Dancing With Myself"
80’s was fun times. Experimental of sounds and different types of music. If it had a great feel to it in whatever genre? It was a hit. The times when it was carefree and we just lived our lives. No political drama that was shoved in our faces unlike nowadays.
I was born in 81 so didn't get the full 80's experience. What I do recall of the 80's and 90's and even early 2000's were years I wish I could revisit, not because my life was great but because the world was a much better place. People weren't fake as hell, you could tell a joke without having a lawsuit against you. The human condition back then was at least tolerable.
Dancing With Myself, Eyes Without A Face, White Wedding....it goes on
And you can't forget Steve Stevens on guitar ❤😊😮
The 80's was The Party, the 90's was The Hangover. We in the 80's were in such a hurry to grow up, thinking it would only get better. We didn't know that it was a Golden Age. (It was a really good time to grow up in and be a teenager). I feel sorry for younger people today and all the negative garbage they're going through. (The styles, music, movies, EVERYTHING had so much energy in the 80's).
The music was real and raw, all genres. Real instruments, no voice altering mics. If you sucked, everyone knew. If you couldn't sing, everyone knew.
In the 80s we didn't live on one flavor alone😂😂 that's why our taste in music is so vast!❤❤❤
It's called freedom
Right! Exactly!
There was an SNL skit where one of the lyrics ("Eyes w/out a Face") was, "I look a lot like Sting, but sing a lot like Bing". As in Bing Crosby 😂😂
There’s only one rebel yell….let er’ buck Billy forever!!!
I was born in 1965, so I turned 5 in 1970. I saw the 70s and 80s first hand and there absolutely was something special about it . And you hit the nail on the head - I saw these people live on tour. When I was 14 I was seeing Van Halen put on SHOW! Add in Aerosmith, Def Leppard, the Psychedelic Furs, ZZ Top, and then throw in the biggies..Michael and Janet, Madonna, Geoege Michael just to name a few. And…it was easy to get tickets! I’m older now and totally cool with it because man it was an absolute blast in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. Special times indeed.
Born in 1962 so I feel so blessed to have come up with music from the 1960s onward. I remember when I was 7 The Beatles' Abbey Road came out on vinyl of course and even though I was only 7 I loved that album so much I stole it from my brother, who was 9 years older than me ha! I was in my 20s when Billy Idol was all the rage and I used to dance and rock out all over the house with my then baby/toddler son. I lost my son in 2015 when he was 31 but I still have so so many wonderful music memories he and I shared his whole life. Music was such a big thing with us, we would have epic music listening marathons all decades and genres of music till all hours as he grew into his teens and beyond, such joy sharing with him all the music I grew up on.
To get a fairly good example of what good American New Wave music is, listen to two early hit songs by The Cars: “You’re Just What I Needed” and their own version of “Let The Good Times Roll” (not to be confused with the hit song by B.B. King of the same name).
Billy Idol recorded a good cover of the 1960s Tommy James And The Shondells hit song, “Mony, Mony”, which features some African-American (I think) female backup singers. When his version of the song came out, it was a HUGE hit on the dance floor with teenage girls in the 1980s. They RAN out onto the dance floor to dance to the song.
At the bar, we added our own line.😅😅😅😅 to Mony Mony.
@@looneygardeneryes!
I love Billy Idol❤ This is about a bottle of whiskey, called Rebel Yell😅
Man, the 80s was the "last" decade for so many things. My high school years were 83-86 & we got the best music from the previous times; cool 50s doo wop & rock-n-roll, 60s psych rock, 70s funk, classic & Southern rock & then 80s punk/new wave, metal etc. It was the last decade of "crusin"...I tried to explain to my kids how we went cruisin on Fri/Sat nights...they couldn't understand lol. Also, I feel the last time that there was more unity. Sure, there were differences but no insane division like today. We all did stuff together, skin color really wasn't an issue...& that was in the deep South. Billy was a hard rockin dude that nearly every cassette player had his album.
I was in college in the early to mid 80's. A big college! Omg we had fun and add in 70's music still playing often. We were so lucky!!!
From Billy Idol, I would recommend:
Scream
Speed
White wedding
Bill Idol stoked the audience with energy, like Springsteen but a lot edgier. Plus, the chicks at Billy Idol concerts were beautiful and WILD!
You nailed it! And, this is why the 80s festivals still sell out with very large audiences today. Saw Billy at Darker Waves a few months ago, and he just rocked the house with "Rebel Yell" after having the crowd sing Happy Birthday to his grand-daughter :).
You right, bruh. 80's and the 90's were awesome! I would not trade it for the world!
Idol is a Rebel...Great rocker, entertainer, love him...sexy beastie...Def ramps you up...Still wears same swag, still a Rebel, still sexy, ladies still love him... He's now over 60, but if you think he's going to stop rocking any time before he's literally forced to by Death himself, No way, and Im almost 60 and forever fan...Thanx so much, Peace
Man i didn't realize how the world was gonna change, 80s, nothing like it. I watch these videos with you guys just to try a relive just a little of the 80s. It wasn't just the music either, VCRs was getting big, renting movies and a video store, that wink from a girl you knew in school renting a movie from the same place , just a hang out sometimes. Fir the first time the arcade came home to you with the atari and Nintendo, electronics had just started booming, America wasn't so divided like it is now, man i could go on and on, miss the 80s so bad
White Wedding was surely his biggest hit? No? I think that's his best one.
Absolutely!
I was a dj in the eighties. The most diversified in music. Disco, soft and hard rock, punk, new wave’ and country renewed by George Strait. MTV brought them to life.
I was a DJ in the 70s-80s too and you are right. A fun time.
Yes, exactly. MTV was a real cultrural phenomenon & it got a ton of different styles of music out to everyone, so we were all listening to a big variety of music. I was in high school and college in the 80s and I'll be forever thankful for going through those amazing times. Eveyrthing was so vibrant, full of life, energetic, everything felt possible & fun and people could be cool and silly & just have a great time.
@@jenniferfoster1692 i remember having a party to watch the first video. Do you remember the song?
@@polocash11 Video Killed the Radio Star! Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the first song in real time...that would've been really cool.
Not only is audio and video imprinted upon recordings like this, but also the energy, Zeitgeist or spirit of the age is also imprinted, recorded and kept. and the viewer will experience that to some extent or another during playback.
I've heard many people say they wished they could have been around when the earlier music happened. I was there, and songs like this take me right back. It was amazing. Like fresh air. This one still makes me sweat - even when I'm sitting still.
Guitarist Steve Stevens is the guy who wrote and performed the iconic Top Gun Anthem. Look up that video.
Oh yes. Seeing AC/DC at the local pub developing their chops then an overseas band on the weekends ... like Black Sabbath ... was sooo taken for granted.
Steve Stevens Incredible guitarplayer! Leo's Last name is pronounced Kot-Key!
The 80's was the last decade of real band music (meaning music made by talented humans singing and playing real instruments) in the pop/rock genre.
These days, so much of what is passed off as music is all computer generated.
About the only true artists you see any more are either throw backs from the '80s or earlier, heavy metal, or country.
I was in a high-school basement band that covered this song in like 1986, and it was by far the most fun thing to play.
The 80s before everyone got depressed was an amazing time...I'd go back in a heartbeat...
Imagine cruising with this blasting out of your car stereo as you sing along, rock out and just be cool
I miss the 80's, best music, best everything. My teen years were just fun.
this is when music was real no auto tune and all the other crap that comes with todays music
Saw Billy Fu**in Idol last year in Brooklyn (Sept 2023 at Kings Theater)- he still puts on a phenomenal show and sounds amazing!! So much talent and swag - and although he’s in his 60s now - he looks and performs like he’s at least 25 years younger. Try to catch a show if you can - you’ll love it!!
Love him!! 🎶💕
Eyes without a face is his best song
my childhood was in the 80s and the 90s i feel was the best time of my childhood and life.
My favorit Billy song is Flesh for fantasy
Billy's one of rock's best vocalists. Kind of a punk Jim Morrison. He can still sing very close to his prime, which considering the difficulty of his songs and the extreme stress on his voice is pretty amazing.
Now White Wedding! Great reaction! Billy is still rocking!
OH, and his guitarist is SO GOOD.
At 16 in 1984, I went to a airband contest, as Billy, using this song, placed 4th won 25 bucks if I remember correctly. Was a hell of night and there was even a lil Rebel yelling going on in the back of the Tbird later that evening!! those were the best of times and I miss em everyday too!
Billy is great, no doubt. But Steve Stevens for me, is the unsung hero of the catalog of music they made together
It was a looser time everyone got along it was fun.
Grew up in Florida, for Grad Night in high school we went to Disneyworld. We got Night Ranger and Weird Al Yankovic, our rival high school got Billy Idol - this was right after the Rebel Yell lp was released and Billy was red hot. Wr were so pissed off until we heard that he cancelled! We all got a good laugh but in hindsight that must have REALLY sucked for them!
...and you're right, we really didn't know how good we had it - every weekend someone was playing somewhere within driving distance and tickets were cheap. So many great bands, young and full of talent, great days!
Punk/new wave was a great era in the early 80' s. It was just a such nice change of pace from 70's rock.
I went to his concert in the 80s. Absolute blast!
Great memories! Class of 85! 🤘😁
This is Billy Idol
You are exactly right ! God love ya for noticing….and ya feel the same as we do with today’s music ! It’s nothing like what we had !
I love "White Wedding" by Billy . I don't know why people are saying this isn't like Billy.😮 This song is awesome.❤ Alot of 80s songs are lame but there's so much really great music too. I'm a 60s child and glad I was born in the middle of a good time. I got my first record player at 6 yrs old (made of plastic but it sounded fine).
There is an evolution of Billy Idol. Check out Gen X...the first band he sang in. He was just a baby. He is straight. The song is about a girl. But anywho. He is old now and a Grandpa . He is so very different now, than back then. But he has evolved. Check out him singing this song Rebel Yell with Myle Cyrus live for Iheart. He's old, but still got it. and he appreciated Myle singing his song.
The 80's were Great.....better said, 1977-1985. Was a Great periodo in Music........M.jackson, Prince, Bowie, Depeche Mode, U2, Blondie and much much more. A lot of original and Great artists and a lot of diferents musical genres
Billy wrote the song after drinking Rebel yell whisky with the rolling stones
Also Check out, by Billy Idol To Be a Lover, Mony Mony, Hot in the City and Dancing with Myself.
Everyone from the 80s sang amazing no surprise here
Billy had a punk band called Generation X B4 doing the solo thing
Check out "BITTER TASTE"Billy got into heavy drugs and had a very bad accident riding his motor bike luckily somebody found him laying on the road.In 2021 after cleaning himself he released this song about that accident.A beautiful song.
Biggest thing was that there was NO social media! Eclectic mixing of musical genres and new sounds and sights with the birth of music videos and MTV when it actually was groundbreaking!
Billy Idol is a teenager’s favorite roller coaster ride;
drums drops the track, guitar moves it around curves, billy scrapes the ground, takes you up a small hill, dips then heads for the mountain, expecting the longer fall he swerves into a fist punch or two as he makes you chant more, more, more.
Billy started out in a punk band called Generation X so his music has a lot of punk influence.
Let's give it up for Steve Stephens, kicking the crap out of that guitar. He was a huge part of Idol's sound.
Prior to his solo career, Billy Idol was in a punk band called Generation X. Check out Running With the Boss Sound, Night of the Cadillacs, and King Rocker just to name a few.
Billy Idol started off in the seventies in a punk band called Generation X.
You should check out their most popular song King Rocker .
He doesn't need any backing, he could hold an audience on his own..
There's an amusement park in Virginia that has a roller coaster called The Rebel Yell. And, I brought my walkman(1990) with me on the roller coaster and listened to this song. It was awesome. They had a scarier roller coaster and I listened to Metallica on that one. Everyone should try it.
Born in 78, grew up in the 80's, a teenager in the 90's ❤ 👌🏼I feel blessed i have experienced those decades 😁
If I had to live one decade over and over it would be 1979-1989.
My favourite Billy Idol song. He has a lot of other great songs also. 5:22.
White Wedding!
This was a unique time in history. The first generation that had birth control growing up, the last generation that didnt have aides. There was only a ten year overlap of the two…it was a free, hedonistic time, in every way.
Working, you could make enough money to live. Really LIVE.
Written by Billy Idol and Stevie Stevens. This is the signature song 🎵
Stevens recorded a toy gun 🔫 into a guitar 🎸 synthesizer.
Great 👍 performance 🎭 40 years 🎂.
Produced by Keith Forsey. In the same year, he, Georgio Moroder and the late Irene Cara, RIP, wrote Flashdance. That won 🏆 Original Song in a Movie 🎥 Soundtrack in the Grammys, Oscars and AMA.
In the same venue where Billy Idol was with The Rolling Stones, Idol introduced Nile Rodgers to the late David Bowie, RIP. The 2 recorded and produced the album Let's Dance 💃.
I loved ♥ being a boy 👦 in the 1980s.
Suggested videos 📹: 1 Billy Idol sings Cradle of Love 2 Irene Cara sings Flashdance What a Feeling 3 David Bowie sings Let's Dance 💃
When he finds out who played guitar on Let's Dance, his mind will be blown.
What Steve Stevens does with the toy ray gun is he holds it up to the guitar pickups which when you have enough volume will come through the guitar amp. Eddie Van Halen did the same thing with a cordless drill for their song Poundcake. Also Steve Steven worked on the soundtrack for the movie Top Gun. Thats his guitar you hear on Danger Zone.
I’m lucky to have seen him several times over the years. Energy times 10!
As I left my house on my motorcycle, my neighbor was putting gas in his mower. I yelled, " In the midnight hour she cried...". He looked at me and yelled "Mow, mow, mow!"
About his singing, some of Billy's idols are Jim Morrison (The Doors) and Elvis Presley. You can see it in his expressions and also hear it in the style he uses when he sings the softer parts
Billy Idol - Speed!
Ahhhhhhhhh
Sweet Billy❤❤❤❤
This was always in rotation at the new wave dance clubs I went to. We would dance all night long. It was a fun time and era. I miss it
