Good tune. I’ve never heard this before. I play acoustic guitar and sing as a hobby, and I’ve been looking for an accessible Billy Idol song. I like his stuff, and I like his attitude toward music.
Thank you!
John Wayne by the hand Whiskey Myers.
Great memories! Liked his work with Generation X as well — which I think is where Dancing with Myself came from — and Ready, Steady, Go has always been a favorite GenX tune of mine.
I’ve always found his music timeless. As if it could have been released yesterday, and it would be a hit again.
Good stuff.👍
Rebel Yell is my favorite Billy Idol tune.
Also made a great cameo appearance in The Wedding Singer.
Lol.i was just thinking agoutmthat scene. He was pretty funny.
The 80s were a much better time to be alive. New, and good, songs on the radio every single week. And you could listen to popular music on the radio or in public venues without being assaulted by rap crap or crap hop. And needless to say, no social media or people staring at their cell phones.
As DLR said about the 80s, “The music smiled, the clothes smiled, the people smiled.”
Just a great time to be alive
Saw him in concert a few years ago at a R&R half marathon after-party on a beach. He looked great for his age - super fit - and put on a great show.
I didn’t want to like this guy when I first saw him but he is great.
When The Who did “Tommy” as a stage play back in the 1990s there was only one guy to get for Cousin Kevin when film actor Paul Nicholas wasn’t available. Billy totally owned it and pretty much stole the show.
You are welcome. I’ve always loved him as a singer.
