True story; Billy Idol spit in my eye! My friends and I wandered into Steven Tyler’s birthday party at Mama Kin in Boston. Billy Idol was performing in the back room. He spit into the crowd (maybe 100 people) and it landed in my eye! We also hung out with Jimmy Page from LED Zeppelin and Dan Aykroyd, that night.
Eyes Without a Face and Dancing With Myself are my top two favs of his. There are a bunch of others, though... Blue Highway and eventually get down to White Wedding and Rebel Yell ;)
“Billy Idol likes booty.” That’s an understatement. He’s straight up admitted in interviews how wild (and gross) he was. He NEEDED a penicillin shot to the booty many times. Edit: As a chick, I’ll admit he still looks great in his 60s though. He is one of a kind and comes across as super likable.
That’s pretty good. I was going to say Rock/Punk Elvis from England here to steal the women. At least temporarily. What ever happened to nice boys like Adam Ant? Must be something inside.
So glad you discovered Billy Idol - the pretty boy of punk rock! His music still sounds great almost 40 years later, and he still has that amazing voice. Next up please: Dancing with Myself and Flesh for Fantasy!
This was a ballad masterpiece for its time. Billy is the man. Do yourself a favor MrV. Grab YT Premium. Costs barely anything to get rid of those annoying Ads. A must-have for content creators. P.S: You’re still the King of YT Music Reaction makers. Keep up the great work 👏
I'm all out of hope One more bad break Could bring a fall When I'm far from home Don't call me on the phone To tell me you're alone It's easy to deceive It's easy to tease But hard to get release Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face Got no human grace You're eyes without a face I spend so much time Believing all the lies To keep the dream alive Now it makes me sad It makes me mad at truth For loving what was you Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face Got no human grace You're eyes without a face (face, face, face) When you hear the music, you make a dip Into someone else's pocket then make a slip You teal a car and go to Las Vegas Ooh, gigolo cool Hanging out by the state line Turning holy water into wine Drinkin' it down, oh, oh-oh, ow I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so Say your prayers Say your prayers Say your prayers (oh) Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise Now all I can do Love what was once So alive in you But it's gone from your eyes I better realize Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face Got no human grace You're eyes without a face Such a human waste You're eyes without a face (face, face, face) And now it's getting worse
@@MamaNaeNae The video, directed by David Fincher, features footage of Idol singing in large painting frames throughout an apartment. The director made the decision to film Idol from the waist up as he was unable to walk due to injuries from a February 1990 motorcycle crash.
The girl in that video is the only complete stranger I've ever been truly in love with. In 1989 or 90, or whenever it was, I remember that, to me, she was the most perfect specimen on the planet. It used to hurt my heart that I would never meet her. Goddamn, I was weird..
But Please don't do "Mony Mony"...that's not even his original song, it's just a cover....it's overplayed even still and Billy Idol has tons of great songs that are his. Please Mr Video just don't do "Mony Mony."
Back in the day, any one of those different Billy's you speak of could have looked at me any way he wanted and kicking ass isn't want I saw in those eyes. That man was fine af :D
I had the 45! Flip Side was "Thrill of the Grill" love song (sorta) about a Waitress& a Short Order Cook... LOVED IT! LmAO.... Typed All that THEN remembered it was "Voyeur" that I had, Not Bette... Kim was AWESOME!
Billy was my idol. Freaken gorgeous. Loved his spiked hair and snarling lips to name a few things. I had his posters on my bedroom walls and a magazine cut out taped on my school 3 ring binder. Dancing with Myself is my favorite of all his song.
This video was my intro to Billy Idol all those years ago, alot if people didn't take him seriously when he came out and it wasn't long before everyone figured out just how good he is. He was playing in Vegas alot before the covid, so maybe after all this he'll be back doing regular shows...♡
Man, you just keep rocking the hits! Billy Idol is definitely one of the best! Thanks for coming with the good vibes all the time and putting me in a good mood. I subscribed on the first video I watched.
"Me and Billy Idol need to link up." Maybe in the '80s. Nowadays, he'd probably just take you to his favorite diner for the Early Bird special. Maybe do some golfing.
If you're in my car and this song comes on.. VOLUME UP AND GET READY!! 🎤🎶🎛📢 Especially: "When you hear the music, you make a dip Into someone else's pocket then make a slip You steal a car and go to Las Vegas Ooh, gigolo cool"
Thank you for this video. This is one of my favorites❤. Back when MTV was popular I would watch all sorts of videos from different artist. So seeing you enjoying what I would watch back in the day is priceless. Billy Idol can kick somebody's behind and then steal your girl, cause he is 🔥. I knew you would like Billy👍.
Saw Billy Idol in the late 80's..The show ended and most everybody left...But the house lights never came up so we stayed....About 45 minutes later he came back out and did "Dancing with Myself" THEN the house lights came on....How Cool was That?
this is a beautiful song by billy been listening to this song since 1984 when it was released. one of billy's mellow ones ,even tho this song is about drug addiction it is a beauty to listen to ; )
I remember ripping my shirt off in my boyfriends jeep with the top off flying down the highway to cradle of love 💘! Whoooo Billy ALWAYS did it for me! Rock on Bitches 🤘. BTW you have a pretty nice voice too!!
I am so glad I found your channel. I have been binge watching for the past 12+ hrs and you keep me laughing! Thank you for that. I live alone and on disability so don't get many chances these days to laugh and have a good time but your reactions have given that back to me. After the Europe and Billy Idol reactions I wish I could take you to a good ol rock concert of the 80s. You were talking about how rock crowds were so hype and they were. No matter the band every concert had the singer, full band to watch, almost every song had guitar and or drum solo plus a long independent guitar solo and drum solo at some point in the concert, light shows, pyrotechnics of some sort, and they were all over the stage. It was a big production. Rap just doesn't have all that and you were right, today everybody just wants to record it on their phones. Also most concerts back then the average crowd was around 10,000 plus depending on the arena size. Biggest one I ever attended was Monsters of Rock which had 12 of the biggest rock bands at one concert on one stage in one day. It lasted 14 hrs beginning to end and was EPIC!!!
I never tried to understand these lyrics, I just love that bass, that voice, that intensity and I've always liked Billy's smooth, captivating expression of vehemence.
Oh I love that you reacted to this one! Love it! Please do also Billy's Hot in the City, Mony Mony and Flesh for Fantasy!!! Sweet sixteen is a must too!!!
Hey buddy next time you better react of these other's from billy : "Flesh for fantasy" , "World's forgotten boy" , "Don't need a Gun" , "L.A. Woman(the doors cover) & Catch my fall" , you will go nuts trust me !!
lol I remember seeing photos of Billy looking tough in a magazine. The toughness was somewhat lessened when it said the photo shoot was done in Spain when he was on holiday with his mum.
I have been up for 20 hours watching your funny a** videos that I just discovered! 😆 I accidentally found the first one where you reacted to Ram Jam's Black Betty, and haven't been to bed yet..😳🤯 That just means I'm enjoying myself. PLEASE react to Billy Idol singing Hot in the City, my favorite!
I'll throw out an unpopular opinion here - Cyberpunk is my favourite Billy Idol album. Shock to the System or Adam in Chains from that album would be my suggestion. Album version is better than the video version for Adam in Chains, but the video is so odd it's worth seeing as well.
I first loved Billy Idol when he was the singer for the early U.K. punk band Generation X (late 1970s), and when he went mainstream as a solo, he was considered a sellout. Generations X had a song called "Promises, Promises" with these lyrics: "We'd never be scared; never be bought Never sell out like they did - they did" And that "sell out" line used to get thrown in his face a lot when he went pop and "sold out". You should check out Gen X songs: "Kiss Me Deadly", "Ready, Steady, Go", "One Hundred Punks", "Promises, Promises" , "From the Heart" and others … Their self-titled album is still one of my favorites (which I have on vinyl from back in the day). It's pictured in this link with "Kiss Me Deadly": ua-cam.com/video/EknsYE7W9Ck/v-deo.html .
I was in the Air Force when Billy showed up. He was a little scary, but so HOT. In the barracks, you couldn’t really have nice stereos and speakers so I’d rock out with my “Walkman” style cassette player on full blast. Eyes Without A Face has that sexy vibe. MTV was big back then and for the most part only showed videos. That was our real connection to music. Billy Idol had the style, voice and look that was captivating. The Elvis lip curl didn’t hurt either. Lol It’s so great to see so many young people being exposed to music we loved when it was released. Because of reactors, many artist’s music is charting again. Thank you😉😉
Picture it, it’s the 80’s. Chicks with big hair and TONS of hairspray. You see Billy from across the room.. he slowly approaches with that intense look in his eyes. Panties *dropped* 😂😂 he pulls you in close for the slow dance of your life. Everything else is history 😍💫✨🌌🇬🇧
Always loved this song. When I was 18 around 99- 2000, I had the cassette single and always played it for people in my car. Every one always liked it. No matter their musical tastes.
And for the love of god pleeaaassseeee I beg you react to Boston they will blow your effin mind i swear you'll be so amazed, Brad Delps voice will make you feel like your flying high in the sky, And Tom Scholz guitar playing will make you feel like your on fire they are incredible!!!
well thats 3 of his best songs youve done. all thats left is "mony mony" a popular cover of a tune by tommy james and the shondells. "rock the cradle of love" which is decent rock with a sexy video, and "dancing with myself" which is at least good for a laugh. his biggest songs are the ones youve already done though, more great bands to get to than there is much left here.
"ROCK THE CRADEL OF LOVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@kemitamenophis3221 believe i mentioned that. so did some other people. whats with that many exclamation points? there has NEVER been a song that warrants even 5 of those overused ,redundant, pieces of nonsense .
I dig your channel bro. I never gave this dude enough love back in the day....it’s not like now, there were amazing artists everywhere you looked. It was so easy to be picky about your music and still have legend after legend to listen to. Hadn’t thought of or heard this song in forever. Thanks for surprising me and taking me back o7
My favorite is To be a Lover. I love boxing ring, the piano player with cigar, and the ladies of the 8o"s breaking it down in the background. Billy also said he got to do some of his best Elvis in this video. The part where he is on the floor is hysterical. All you had to do was slide a girl underneath.
I can't believe you are doing this one! His most beautiful song and 5he first one i learned to play entirely on my acoustic guitar...but, the lyrics are epic
Every artist does ballads .... no matter how hard they are. Billy Idol, Guns n Roses and even Marilyn Manson. Who don’t like a song with a chill vibe now and then!
Lol you done caught Billy eyediss lmbao, love the way that booty slap knocked you back on the sectional 😂😂😂. 👀👀👀 without a face is yes Mo⚡t Brilliant 👊 Now you really really really really really need to do LoverBoyLovinEveryMinuteOfIt 🙌🙌 Nagg2 delivered 😏 I told you I am Relentless 😉
Awesome I'm getting some backup now 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 you're gonna give in so Just Do It and get it over with😀 Nagg number 3 delivered 😏😏😏 Relentless am I ☺️ Stop I shall not 😂😂😂😂
Ahhh the delightful Mr Snarly 🥴 this is my fave of his,you were getting your shoulder thang going on again 🥰 I suggest you do Robert Palmer Addicted to Love...you will shoulder shuffle off the sofa at the pritttttey ladies too 😊🤣🇬🇧🥰
True story; Billy Idol spit in my eye! My friends and I wandered into Steven Tyler’s birthday party at Mama Kin in Boston. Billy Idol was performing in the back room. He spit into the crowd (maybe 100 people) and it landed in my eye! We also hung out with Jimmy Page from LED Zeppelin and Dan Aykroyd, that night.
oh what a memory! 😁did you talk to billy after this?!
Billy Idol's Dancing with Myself, Flesh for Fantasy, Cradel of Love.
His songs "Dancing With Myself" and "Hot In The City" are also good.
Eyes Without a Face and Dancing With Myself are my top two favs of his. There are a bunch of others, though... Blue Highway and eventually get down to White Wedding and Rebel Yell ;)
How could I forget about Dancing With Myself! 💃
Well you can shake your Mony Mony hey everybody get
The first time I saw Billy Idol I thought he was scary cool too. His songs "Mony Mony" and "Dancing With Myself" are good too 👍😎
Yes good choices 🖖🏻🇨🇦😊
Yes!!!!!!
Now you got to do Dancing With Myself, Cradle of Love,Hot In The City and his cover of Mony Mony..Love Billy!!
Please add “Sweet Sixteen” to that list! ✌️✨
Excellent band👋👋👋
Yessssss Mony Mony💃💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes definitely
Cradle of Love, yes, hottest clip ever!
“Billy Idol likes booty.” That’s an understatement. He’s straight up admitted in interviews how wild (and gross) he was. He NEEDED a penicillin shot to the booty many times.
Edit: As a chick, I’ll admit he still looks great in his 60s though. He is one of a kind and comes across as super likable.
From an old chick........HELL'S YES!
Straight up
Watching Billy with his baby grand daughter is beyond adorable!
@@allysonsanfilippo9331 definitely agree lil Poppy Rebel is adorable
Billy was our mix of James Dean and a blonde rocker Elvis, he was the cool one during the 80s
You nailed it!
Although he's a Brit so he's kinda ours 😉
That’s pretty good. I was going to say Rock/Punk Elvis from England here to steal the women. At least temporarily.
What ever happened to nice boys like Adam Ant? Must be something inside.
Elvis was a natural blonde, ironically. (Although you probably already know that.).
The Platinum Elvis.He's actually on another level though.
His snarl is just *👌*.
By 👌, you mean "hot", right Kim?! LOL!! I agree. His snarl is A-OK!!!!!!
@@angelabennett-engele8053 You got it! 😁
Yeah, of course it's taken from Elvis, but....
I remember SNL did a skit on Billy Idol. They sang I have the wrong voice for this face! I have heard that he is extremely nice to his fans.
So glad you discovered Billy Idol - the pretty boy of punk rock! His music still sounds great almost 40 years later, and he still has that amazing voice. Next up please: Dancing with Myself and Flesh for Fantasy!
This was a ballad masterpiece for its time.
Billy is the man.

Flesh for Fantasy, Catch My Fall, Cradle of Love
I'm all out of hope
One more bad break
Could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face (face, face, face)
When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
You teal a car and go to Las Vegas
Ooh, gigolo cool
Hanging out by the state line
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh, oh-oh, ow
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you, you're out there, so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (oh)
Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Love what was once
So alive in you
But it's gone from your eyes
I better realize
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
(Les yeux sans visage)
Eyes without a face
Got no human grace
You're eyes without a face
Such a human waste
You're eyes without a face (face, face, face)
And now it's getting worse
I'd really hate to be tripping on a fucking bus.
@@moonlily1 I did on a 3 day long train ride in the 70,s !!! Hahaha! Train trip turned into acid trip !!
+ Sky Dog thanks for the lyrics.
Great song. Rock the cradle of love is his sexiest one and his on crutches the whole time. They hide them by fancy editing
Love Cradle, never new that about the vid, now I gotta go watch even though we can't see them lol!

Goddamn, I was weird..
Billy’s known for The Snarl. I always thought he walked out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. 💋
He looks like one of the "unconventional conventionalists' ".
OMG! OMG! OMG! Thank you for doing more Billy Idol!! I love watching your channel. You do the BEST reaction videos. You're awesome!!!!
So hoping for “Sweet Sixteen” soon!🤞🏼✨
But Please don't do "Mony Mony"...that's not even his original song, it's just a cover....it's overplayed even still and Billy Idol has tons of great songs that are his. Please Mr Video just don't do "Mony Mony."
His videos are the best!
Is Zeus you're personal God belief
Back in the day, any one of those different Billy's you speak of could have looked at me any way he wanted and kicking ass isn't want I saw in those eyes. That man was fine af :D
Beautiful Billy Idol song!! The other side to Billy..lol..Youre insightful and truly get into it!! 👍👍👍
Leo you really have a great voice!!
His voice though. 😍🥰🤤
You should react to Dancing With Myself (one of his big hits with his old band Gen X).
This song is a masterpiece.
I KNEW you would like this one, if for nothing else, the butt slaps! Lol!
Easily my favorite Billy Idol and Steve Stevens is a badass! I always thought Steve looked like Edward Scissorhands
Steve is an OG. Wish more people knew about his work, I mean he was on MJ's Dirty Diana for example and nobody seems to know!
Hot In The City
Mony Mony
Dancing With Myself
Bet I'm not the only one who mentioned those lol 😂.
🔥🔥🔥My FAVORITE Idol song🔥🔥🔥
Yay, this is my favorite Billy Idol Song! The bass in this track is 🔥🔥🔥
He's 70+ years old now and still slaying the women! He is awesomeness and so are you homie! Keep up the great stuff and keep smoking
He’s 66, but yeah…still slaying it.
Bette davis eyes!!!-kim Carnes
Listen this... you'll love it
I had the 45! Flip Side was "Thrill of the Grill" love song (sorta) about a Waitress& a Short Order Cook... LOVED IT!

@@alexandraaaron9705 when it first came out my sister argued with me that the song was titled "Patti Davis Eyes"...lmfao!!! Ummm no...lol!
Great profile pic. PJ for life.
One of my favorite Billy idol songs
Billy was my idol. Freaken gorgeous. Loved his spiked hair and snarling lips to name a few things. I had his posters on my bedroom walls and a magazine cut out taped on my school 3 ring binder. Dancing with Myself is my favorite of all his song.
Billy sooooo fine...
Girrrrrrl... 😍
You fine too H.

Too, too funny! I LOVE IT!
Please check out “Flesh For Fantasy” by him next! 🤘 🤘
He's still cool
I love the transitions in this song. He's extremely versatile. From smooth soft rock to gritty almost metal, it's amazing the talent he has.
If you're in my car and this song comes on.. VOLUME UP AND GET READY!! 🎤🎶🎛📢
Especially:
"When you hear the music, you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
You steal a car and go to Las Vegas
Ooh, gigolo cool"
Billy used to be in the punk scene in England...he was also born there !!!!!
80s bad boy!! 😍
but a nice guy. met him at a Steak & Shake in tampa. Even bought everyone things to eat and talked with everyone

I am so glad I found your channel. I have been binge watching for the past 12+ hrs and you keep me laughing! Thank you for that. I live alone and on disability so don't get many chances these days to laugh and have a good time but your reactions have given that back to me.

Now you HAVE to watch the movie "The Wedding Singer". You'll understand toward the end. You're welcome. 😉
I never tried to understand these lyrics, I just love that bass, that voice, that intensity and I've always liked Billy's smooth, captivating expression of vehemence.
Billy Idol is good a 80's classic love it :) love 80's

These came out during the 80’s when MTV was music videos that were on 24/7 They had to be entertaining! ☮️♥️✌🏼🎸👵🏼
I'll throw out an unpopular opinion here - Cyberpunk is my favourite Billy Idol album. Shock to the System or Adam in Chains from that album would be my suggestion. Album version is better than the video version for Adam in Chains, but the video is so odd it's worth seeing as well.
Absolutely LOVE Cyberpunk from start to finish. I was so happy to hear it in the game Cyberpunk 2077.
Freaking love this jam. Billy is the man.
My absolute favorite! Those eyes at the beginning bore into your soul. Love Billy Idol!

It's pictured in this link with "Kiss Me Deadly": ua-cam.com/video/EknsYE7W9Ck/v-deo.html .
I'm watching you every morning now, coffee, some morning tokes and it's on better than starting your day with a Jimmy Dean breakfast. It's BRILLIANT.
Absolutely love the variety of tunes, best reaction channel by a mile 🔥🤘👍
Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire
way underrated

6:22 Gigolo cool....... I always thought that him and Adam Ant should of put something together.
Wicked Crush on Adam back in the Day
Yes!!
@@alexandraaaron9705 I did too! Especially after seeing Strip video. OMG!

Ever since I was elementary school student in the 80’s, this song always made me feel some kind of way
Dude got me remembering bk to when MTV was a music channel
One of the best bass lines of the 80s. Listen again and pay close attention to that magical bass. It's almost as magical as Billy's patented scowl.
Glad you did this one. This is my favorite by Billy Idol.
And for the love of god pleeaaassseeee I beg you react to Boston they will blow your effin mind i swear you'll be so amazed, Brad Delps voice will make you feel like your flying high in the sky, And Tom Scholz guitar playing will make you feel like your on fire they are incredible!!!
well thats 3 of his best songs youve done. all thats left is "mony mony" a popular cover of a tune by tommy james and the shondells. "rock the cradle of love" which is decent rock with a sexy video, and "dancing with myself" which is at least good for a laugh. his biggest songs are the ones youve already done though, more great bands to get to than there is much left here.
Those are all good. One of my faves is Sweet Sixteen
No no no
Do "Pumping on steal"!
"ROCK THE CRADEL OF LOVE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@kemitamenophis3221 believe i mentioned that. so did some other people. whats with that many exclamation points? there has NEVER been a song that warrants even 5 of those overused ,redundant, pieces of nonsense .
@@ice-iu3vv Go shove all of those exclamation points up your you know where!
I just cant get enough of you Mr. Video.Youd be a great father because you listen.God bless you!!!!
I dig your channel bro. I never gave this dude enough love back in the day....it’s not like now, there were amazing artists everywhere you looked. It was so easy to be picky about your music and still have legend after legend to listen to. Hadn’t thought of or heard this song in forever. Thanks for surprising me and taking me back o7
Love this song!!
Definitely, Rock the Cradle of Love!!
Again, I can see your about to have a party. He just is just pure rock star! Mony Mony , Cradle of Love, Blue Highway
Yup...this one's on the Mt. Rushmore of 80's tunes. And for the love of God, hit that joint man.
😂🤣
Right on! Keep it going..."Dancing with my self", "Got to be your Lover", "Hot in the City" and " Flesh for Fantasy" and you graduate.
I love your channel and your personality! I’ve been rocking with you for a long time and you are one of my favorite channels to watch ❤️
😅😅😅 Billy made you move to the edge of your seat 😅😅😅... Absolutely ❤ how you let these songs hit you my friend
My favorite is To be a Lover. I love boxing ring, the piano player with cigar, and the ladies of the 8o"s breaking it down in the background. Billy also said he got to do some of his best Elvis in this video. The part where he is on the floor is hysterical. All you had to do was slide a girl underneath.
Billy rules. When he pumps that fist you know he wants to rock out
This is my favorite Billy song. It just shows he can do more than the yell
It's Billyant ... Damn It, It's Billyant!!! Thanks for this and all the reactions, especially Billy!!
I can't believe you are doing this one! His most beautiful song and 5he first one i learned to play entirely on my acoustic guitar...but, the lyrics are epic
Every artist does ballads .... no matter how hard they are. Billy Idol, Guns n Roses and even Marilyn Manson. Who don’t like a song with a chill vibe now and then!
