    I remember me and my sister dressing our little brother up as Billy Idol for Halloween one year when he was about 4 or so. He was so damned cute. And to have been as little as he was he played the hell out of it too, even down to that trademark Billy Idol snarl 🤣

    I think Billy Idol is an example of somebody with definite talent, surrounding himself with the right people to make the best of the talent he has through their talent. Almost everything he does is good if he's working with Steve Stevens who is a phenomenal guitar player. Billy Idol was successful at one point, but I think he has more underground success in the long term than he's had mainstream. Kind of an artist that's just always going to be around because his music is always going to be good.

    He started in the punk scene in the late 70’s . And then transition to rock in 80’s. This was because punk was taking off and becoming more mainstream. So his style of singing is punk based blended with rock. This is why it works.

One thing I found out is that in the song, a french woman's vocal can be heard in the background of the chorus saying "faceless eyes" by Apple translator, and "eyes without face" by Google translator. Idk I just thought that was cool lol. You guys should check it out!!

    Definitely need to listen to part 1 & 2 together. Eyes Without A Face is fantastic. Dancing With Myself is awesome. Rock the Cradle. There are definitely several songs you could react to / analyze and critique. You guys really aren't even "Reactors" at this point. I'd consider you legit music critics. I tune in not just for the reaction, but the perspectives and breakdowns you guys give.

    • @flipjupiter1

  • @BlackieNuff
    @BlackieNuff Рік тому +1

    The "Part 1" seems to be simply an alternative way of saying it is a "radio/single edit" or some such, cos White Wedding "Parts I & II" (aka Shotgun Mix) appears on his 1989 remix compilation, Vital Idol, a collection of 8 of his best/biggest hits remixed into longer durations with little sonic extras to make the songs pop more. White Wedding "Shotgun Remix" (as it's called on Vital Idol), basically sounds the same as the "Part I" from the original album, at least for the first half (ergo being "Part 1") ; once it gets into where the guitar solo would normally commence, that's when the extended instrumentals and expanded refrains come in (ergo "Part 2"). This full 8½-minute "Shotgun" mix of both "Parts I & II" is really worth checking out, assuming you dig this song in its "radio friendly" Part-1 format.
    Part 2 by itself does not exist as a single track (at least not officially).

    Billy Idol crossed over between the punk and pop world at a time when it was no easy feat (pop looked down on punk and punk absolutely despised pop or at least that was the fashionable posture at the time). Idol had a background (Generation X) and carried a vibe that attracted both worlds without alienating either one which was impressive.

      He was supposed to play Jim Morrison in the movie but got into a motorcycle accident and messed his leg up pretty bad so he couldn't physically play the part. However, they wanted him to still be a part of the movie so they gave him a minor role that wouldn't require much physical activity.
