    Real name is William Broad. He chose the name Billy Idol because a high school teacher once said in a report, Billy is idle in class. Billy thought it was a cool name, Billy Idle as a punk name, but went with Billy Idol.
    Steve Stevens, guitarist, is a grammy winner for soundtrack to Top Gun. A few concerts Steve Stevens couldn't make, it takes 2-3 guitarists to play what Steve can do by himself.

    As a guitarist for 36 years now I was always baffled by the sound he was getting in the guitar solo until seeing and interview with Steve..turns out he used a toy ray gun next to the pickups to get that effect. He didn't have it in this video because they are lip syncing to the original track.

    Check out "Mony Mony" for energy...
    "Sweet Sixteen" for vocals and his new "Bitter Taste" for deeper lyrics
