I can not remember the last time i heard new music and wanted to hear it again and again. This hit me like the music i listened to in my youth. So well written and performed. Excellent job Billy and the band. Bravo!
I'm 55 , and this is song is pure 100% diamond. Listening again...again...and again.... This kind of songs I always baptize "on the road". Listening and driving....
I'm 65 and still enjoy his music to this day. I usually can't listen to the samething over and over. I grow tired of it and move on. In the 90 and even now their isn't much music that I really find appealing. I don't listen to the radio anymore. It was nice when MTV played videos. You could get a feel for what was out there. Billy Idol always had great videos. I like this video and also where he's playing at hover dam. His music is one that I've never became tired of listening to.
Yes! Keep playing this over and over! Hope he hears that we all all just finding it now! Maybe he should rerelease it! I heard it at a coffee shop and thought, wait this sounds familiar. So I shazamed it and wow! It was Billy! Awesome song!
Matured, yes, and it’s very appropriate. Still, I wonder if some autotune is shining through here and there (which, if so, would not take anything from this superb song, imho).

Billy is a survivor. I’ve been a fan of his since the early 80’s and finally saw him live in ‘03. The guy simply gets better with age. I just love him!
I've been a fan since I was 12-year-old. For me a new album by Billy idol was like an event. I'm 51 years old now. I'm glad to be alive to continue hearing music from my favorite artist
I got six years on ya, but I KNOW exactly what you mean He adds a whole chapter to the term "Ages like Fine Wine" 😁 I used to que at record shops (when they still existed) to get the new album and EXPLORE Even got a free Billy t-shirt on day one in Whiplash Smile era!!! 😊 Wore it till it fell apart
I miss the days when you could go to s record shop. There was one where I grew up and every week they would have anywhere from a couple of albums on sell to maybe 5 or 6. I went every Friday or Saturday and bought the albums. I also went to used record shops close to various campuses. They would sell albums to go out for a weekend or buy something like else they needed. A lot of pot . Remember when you could buy albums for 2.00 sometimes less. I have over 3000 albums. Didn't want to pay the price of CD'S when they came out. So I bought cassettes which I have maybe just 500 of those. I started buying CD'S and have more than 3000 of them last time I counted them it was close to 4000. I've bought a few since but that was years ago. I use to go to used CD stores around AZ State . I had a small notebook I kept with a list of music I was looking for. I'd also leave a list with the used stores and when they got a CD in I was looking for. People would bring in CD'S and they would have stacks of them on as counter that they hadn't priced yet. Thry would tell people to leave them alone they need to price them and go through to see if anything was there that people had requested. They ket me go through them probably because I bought a lot if CD'S. I'd always leave with a stack. One guy wss going in to sell the complete catalog of the Beatles. I met him in the parking lot before he made it in. I asked him what he wanted for them , he said I don't know. I said I'll give you 50.00 right now he thought for a min and said ok. What a steal. I have the original albums. My albums are all super clean. No scratches on them when holding them under a florescent light. I always make sure that the inside jacket is turned so they don't come out. Handle them by edges and label only. Even when I was a kid I handled them that way. They still have original poster with them. They're worth a lot of money. I'd like to sell them but I want them to go to a nice home. I have the first pressing when the albums 1st came out. I've seen Black Sabbath go for more than 300.00 in the show Pawn Shop show in Vegas.
Yes, I started to know Billy by a friend of mine whose big brother was a drummer in a small rock band (punk-rock) who played in youth centers in France in the suburbs of Paris at the time (I'm French). I was 16 years old. At the time Billy Idol was still part of the "Gen X" band. To say that it was a really long time ago, I also remember Killing Joke, The Clash, etc. (At the time in France, in the same kind of music we had "Les garçons bouchers", "Trust", Téléphone, etc. and a little later "La Mano Negra", "Les Négresses Vertes", etc.)
Great Tune !! Billy is the real Deal all these years later still writes great timeless rock and roll songs . His Voice is just as powerful as its always been . Bravo Billy Idol !
@@nathanc282 Was thinking the same thing. Dorian mode with the major IV chord in a minor key, same chord progression in the verse. The chorus is a little different though. Still enjoyed hearing Wicked Games again, and his performance is good.
We totally disregard any person making music over the age of 35 and let 20 year old's tell us how to think and feel. This is a great song from someone who has lived life and seen some crazy shit go down. Billy is a fucking legend!!
@@billyidol6899 Well for me, Its Oregon, But who knows if its the real you. So many imposters these days. And no one under 35 knows anything about music, Its about the ART BABY!!!!!!
I literally just stumbled across this album a few days ago...my god this is the best album I have heard in last 15 years period! Wow..where has this been hiding!?
I just saw him play this Sunday. He opened for the Foo Fighters at the Aspen Jazz Fest. He fucking stole the show! Everyone there was so blown away. You don't expect the opener to put the headliner to shame. But my God he still has it! He's a fucking legend!! This song hasn't gotten near enough attention. Love it!
Holy Shit! Billy did it again. What a strong song and his voice is like not so young boys anymore, sounds like adult man. And the song sounds like real music, not a crapsong whit samples and digisounds. Thanks Billy. You are Legend!
@@bilhamcobbly2957 i was born in 77! .. is that the musical conscioussness of the world I chose to enter into at that time ?.. Lol .. ( Generation X 1977!.. ) IT all makes sense now!!. .. Billy IDOL is a legend.. So is the other guy. ( The real him!..😜👁️💐 )
Looks like billy is signing about his motorcycle accident that almost killed him 6 of February of 1990. I'm glad he his still with us love billy idol he's still a rebel.
It's 100% that, Billy said as much himself at the concert in Wisconsin last week. Outside of that, it also seems to touch generally on Billy's more self-destructive decisions in life. Glad he came out the other side, world is a better place with him in it.
I’ve always loved that he just sounds like Billy Idol and nobody else. He has his own style andrhythm and always seems to tie it all together in a neatly wrapped whiplash smile sort of package.
Billy idol is a badass and always will be...so many memories cruising around in fast cars listening to rebel yell and white wedding back in the day and still today.
Billy, you have written my hymn !! Exactly four years ago, I got sick and had to stay in hospital and rehab for 3 months. I had doubted whether I was to come out of this alive. Since then, nothing has been the same. the bitter taste remains no matter how I try to stay positive and move on. You express exactly how hurt I feel inside and how it still feels... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
My God. How? How does he consistently stay so good and get even better? His voice is still good, clear and strong. He just gets better. No wonder he's my favorite male singer.
This man is a legend, that’s all I got to say….he’s never ever disappointed, not even once. He deserves all the success and love anyone could ever receive. Just so talented!😌👑
He's one of my favorites but his late 80's and 90's stuff like Money Money was really disappointing to me. Rebel Yell was a masterpiece then he started doing run of the mill music. I do like this new one though.
Billy is master of the old school of rock......yet he still thrives, creating masterpieces like this one. He is what he was and he will be......One of the greatest rockstars ever.
Not only is the songwriting as good as ever, but it seems like his voice hasn't changed much at all either, there's a slight rasp that wasn't there before and the lower notes are more gravely than he used to be but it actually sounds pretty cool, not like his voice is strained or shot like some artists when they get old. Glad this dude is still around and putting out good music. I was born just in time to see a lot of my favorite artists die off so I cherish the ones we have left.
You're right! Billy's voice sounds very rich and resonant. In fact, it sounds better now than when I'd first heard him many years ago with "White Wedding!" There is something about this that reminds me of Nick Cave, a little "goth," but also very rootsy :)
I won't say he's still got it because in my opinion he never lost it! This ticks all my boxes, great guitar, lyrics and that awesome gritty Billy Idol sound.
I’m only 15 and it feels like I’ve been listening to Billy since the 80’s. I’ve listened to most of his past songs (Eyes Without a Face, my personal favorite) and he even to this day produces top notch music. I’m glad I was born just in time to experience new Billy songs and I’m glad he hasn’t stopped making music. I’m excited to hear more!
I'm in my 30s now and discovered Billy when I was about your age, I can absolutely relate to this. Considering everything Billy has been through, I'm grateful that not only has he continued to create fantastic music but has gotten to become a grandfather.
Great stuff, Im 52, i was about 13/14 when i first heard him, his classics on the radio when they were in the charts. Still love his stuff now, tbh i prefer his solo stuff to Generation X since i was too young to appreciate Generation X when they first came out, but his solo stuff was my era (early 80s)
I'm 25, my dad's a huge billy fan, been to see all my dad's favourites with him but Billy is by far the best, old Billy is still exactly the same as young Billy and still sounds great and has his crazy side, I've had Billy drilled into me since I can remember and this tune is brilliant and as good as his prime 80s music the chorus is amazing
I don't want to sound like "that" old lady, but I love it when my 20-something kids listen to, and appreciate, the same music that I do. And vice versa. Loved, loved, loved seeing him and Miley performing together!!
Dang, I can't believe how good Billy's voice still is! As a kid in the 80's, I'd never have imagined myself listening to a new Billy Idol song in 2021.
Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Joe Jackson, Billy Idol, these artists span my entire life and childhood. During these Dark 20s and my personal life ordeal, this was the exact song I needed right now.
Ich bin seit meinem 13. Lebensjahr Billy Fan. Dies war ich schon in der ehemaligen DDR seit 1983. Es war für uns Billy-Fans in der DDR schwer, immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. Umso schöner ist es, jetzt zu sehen dass der Meister immer noch einer der besten Musiker (für mich der Beste) ist. Ich hoffe, wir dürfen noch lange Deine Werke geniessen. Lippe hoch und weiter gehts. I love you my IDOL...
@@ricksuddarth7200 , ok his English is not as "perfect" as yours but c'mon dude, don't play genius now, just chillax and enjoy the music. BTW, I was able to figure out what @Greg Dessaint meant.
This song is so unbelievably amazing. It’s better than everything out right now. I don’t know why this never got radio play just discovered it for the first time today.
You can't write and perform a song as soulful as this without experiencing the darkness Billy went through with his motorcycle accident. Such beauty from such suffering.
Yes, I believe you hit the nail on the head. When a person can take his/her suffering and transform it into a song so that you also feel it. A true artist and I have so much respect for him.
I was a passenger on the back of a road bike in 90 and forced into the oncoming traffic leaving deer Creek reservoir just east of salt Lake City. One of my best friends driving "Dennis W Nash miss you my brother "did not survive the accident. It really seems the coolest of the cool ,the people I look up to ,the people I want to hang out with .those that I don't want to go,go too soon. Perhaps that's just perspective I don't know but I'm 52 years old now and I sure do get lonely for the old days sometimes.. I'd like to think I've learned some valuable lessons along the way and I have the hard way of course. I have more than just hope I have faith that I will see my friend again someday sometime somewhere as well as my family and you're a grateful for my limited knowledge and Christianity. I do believe Jesus Christ is my savior .I do believe he died for my sins and I do believe he came back that we may all be forgiven. It's in this belief that I have faith to see my friends and family again and to be with them forever. No matter how alone or lost I feel I know that God likes me and for that I am truly grateful. It seems when I watch the news it's very easy to develop a negative perspective. Sometimes I have to remind myself that the news feeds on the negative energy and that's what drives the madness. When I stop take a deep breath look around me and think about it from a real perspective there's still a lot of beautiful in the world a lot of good and a lot of cool. I'm going to try and focus on those parts and leave the rest alone. Nobody ever got ahead one a war or became successful by worrying themselves into it. What will be will be and things out of my control are things I try not to worry about. Not to the point of ignorance for many of these things good potentially change my life as well as yours and everyone else but that hasn't happened yet. So I choose to live into here and now I'm going to try harder to turn off the negative because life really is all about perspective in my opinion. Anyway I hope anyone that reads this has a great day know that someone somewhere has it better than you and always will have someone somewhere has it worse than you and they can change that so can you so can I. I tried to edit this ramble but kept having to start over so I'm just going to leave it alone. Please forgive me. It's late for me and I'm tired and running short on patience. 😁 Thanks, Just Brock😎😎
I'm just glad Billy is still with us and producing fantastic music. His Kings and Queens Of The Underground is an absolutely amazing album I'm sure his newest album will be a great follow it up.
Billy is everything to me, has been my entire life…I honestly didn’t think he had something like this still in him. I’m in tears. What a gift. This is peak stuff here. Unreal. We love you Billy!
That *Bitter Taste* is so sweet to my ears with its melancholic lyrics, and Billy Idol taking me back to the eighties... I just love it! Video is on *loop* and I'm listening to it over and over again, while watching his whiplash smile and his sexy strides... (thank you, Billy Idol and Steve Stevens!) LovePeaceMusic
Psychedelic Furs released new music recently. As did Gary Numan, Danny Elfman, Dinosaur Jr, Robert Smith (with Chvrches), Counting Crows, Travis, Bush, The Offspring, Ministry, and others. I know, a lot of those are 90s, not 80s acts. Still, a lot of older groups putting stuff out recently. Pretty cool.
I just celebrated my 49th birthday a few days ago and I’m not ashamed to admit I felt a bit numb and teary eyed as I worked my way through this amazing song. Instant classic! Well done!
One of the best songs he's released so far. I don't like Kakaoella as much as here. The best times are over but it's still a great song❤️🔥 thanks Billi🫶🏻 Greetings from TX Colorado 🤘
I'm pretty sure this is about his struggle with alcohol and his bike crash. For those of you that don't know we almost lost him. But he has a lovely little girl now and he's still here. I'm so glad. Billy you turned me punk when I was just young. Now I'm really loving this. Man your fire. Please don't leave us anytime soon mate. We need you.
Yeah he had a struggle with drugs and alcohol and we nearly did loose him when he had his bike crash bit billy has come back stronger than ever .keep it up billy please.
I wonder if he is saved to Heaven, as he did say ''...Born again..' and 'my new crown", references to the Bible and finding Jesus, with a glimmer in his eyes and a knowing smile...Maybe I'll meet him on the other side after all...Hope so...He's an Idol!!!
Man, this song is a hit. After all these years, he managed to put out a track that could rise any career. The vocal interpretation is fabulous. I´d love to see a Rick Rubin/Idol collaboration in the way the first did with Johnny Cash, with simple instrumentation and the voice as the main protagonist.
It turned out to be an interesting fusion-music in style of Chris Isaak, but with the vocals of Billy Idol. There is something in this! Let the new album be all in a similar vein.
Hmmmm...I've got two years on you and followed him since his Gen X days. Saw him live in the 90s, drug, alcohol fucked days in Brisbane, Australia. I'm not kidding he couldn't stand up. Kept falling over. Couldn't remember lyrics. I was front row. Half the 15,000 crowd left it was so BAD. I just loved it cause it was old skool rock n roll. He STILL had the fist pumping, sneer attitude through the chaos. It was fucking great but dreadful I can't believe he's still alive and putting out great shit Gutsy bastard

Been listening to Billy for over 40 long years. This is a brilliant track.
Love how his voice has matured like a fine wine. Sounding even better.
Wow, I was thinking the same. He has a hint of Roy Orbison, in this song.
Thought he sounded a bit like Johnny Cash near the end, too.
So very true ,like u said just like a fine wine ,yeahhhh.
Love it. Hope he keeps giving us more!
Matured, yes, and it’s very appropriate. Still, I wonder if some autotune is shining through here and there (which, if so, would not take anything from this superb song, imho).
At almost 70 Billy Idol is still a rock star. I wonder how many people know that he was BORN to be a rock star.

Even got a free Billy t-shirt on day one in Whiplash Smile era!!! 😊

Billy is amazing! Love him
I miss the days when you could go to s record shop. There was one where I grew up and every week they would have anywhere from a couple of albums on sell to maybe 5 or 6. I went every Friday or Saturday and bought the albums. I also went to used record shops close to various campuses. They would sell albums to go out for a weekend or buy something like else they needed. A lot of pot . Remember when you could buy albums for 2.00 sometimes less. I have over 3000 albums. Didn't want to pay the price of CD'S when they came out. So I bought cassettes which I have maybe just 500 of those. I started buying CD'S and have more than 3000 of them last time I counted them it was close to 4000. I've bought a few since but that was years ago. I use to go to used CD stores around AZ State . I had a small notebook I kept with a list of music I was looking for. I'd also leave a list with the used stores and when they got a CD in I was looking for. People would bring in CD'S and they would have stacks of them on as counter that they hadn't priced yet. Thry would tell people to leave them alone they need to price them and go through to see if anything was there that people had requested. They ket me go through them probably because I bought a lot if CD'S. I'd always leave with a stack. One guy wss going in to sell the complete catalog of the Beatles. I met him in the parking lot before he made it in. I asked him what he wanted for them , he said I don't know. I said I'll give you 50.00 right now he thought for a min and said ok. What a steal. I have the original albums. My albums are all super clean. No scratches on them when holding them under a florescent light. I always make sure that the inside jacket is turned so they don't come out. Handle them by edges and label only. Even when I was a kid I handled them that way. They still have original poster with them. They're worth a lot of money. I'd like to sell them but I want them to go to a nice home. I have the first pressing when the albums 1st came out. I've seen Black Sabbath go for more than 300.00 in the show Pawn Shop show in Vegas.
I loved this guy as a teenager 30+ years ago, still lovin' him He's like a fine wine, better with age 💜
Ikr? The wrinkles and voice and attitude, everything, there's so much beauty in getting old.... No, maturing!
Same!! Turning 51 in 2 weeks and listening to this I’m having a throwback to my teens, hubba hubba yum yum!! 😇😇
Entièrement d'accord avec vous 😉
De acuerdo, completamente, tiene algo especial....nunca defrauda
You said it perfectly!!
Legend. Icon. Idol.
37years with his music.paras tyylissään
Fancy seeing you here, Mr. Johnson. 😎
Just wanna take a sec and thank the 80's & 90s for giving us the opportunity to watch all of our Icons develop 🙏🏽❤️
YES!
Idol made a name for himself in the 70s with Generation X.
@@harry554 said every generation/civilisation ever since 3000 years basically
Yes, I started to know Billy by a friend of mine whose big brother was a drummer in a small rock band (punk-rock) who played in youth centers in France in the suburbs of Paris at the time (I'm French). I was 16 years old. At the time Billy Idol was still part of the "Gen X" band. To say that it was a really long time ago, I also remember Killing Joke, The Clash, etc. (At the time in France, in the same kind of music we had "Les garçons bouchers", "Trust", Téléphone, etc. and a little later "La Mano Negra", "Les Négresses Vertes", etc.)
Up!!
Great Tune !! Billy is the real Deal all these years later still writes great timeless rock and roll songs . His Voice is just as powerful as its always been . Bravo Billy Idol !
Damn, all these years later he puts out the best song of his career.
To bad chris issac wrote wicked games first 😂
@@nathanc282 they are both wicked good!!!
@@nathanc282 I love you c4♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@nathanc282 Was thinking the same thing. Dorian mode with the major IV chord in a minor key, same chord progression in the verse. The chorus is a little different though. Still enjoyed hearing Wicked Games again, and his performance is good.
We totally disregard any person making music over the age of 35 and let 20 year old's tell us how to think and feel. This is a great song from someone who has lived life and seen some crazy shit go down. Billy is a fucking legend!!
totally agree!
He sounds better than ever, seriously. And I was not a fan of his back in the heyday. But this is excellent.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment, I sincerely appreciate 🙏🏻, where are you watching from?
@@billyidol6899 Well for me, Its Oregon, But who knows if its the real you. So many imposters these days. And no one under 35 knows anything about music, Its about the ART BABY!!!!!!
I rarely love a song the first time I hear it...but I loved this one immediately. I think I've listened to it literally over 20 times today.
same. It's crazy. It felt like i have known this song forever when i first heard it.
I literally just stumbled across this album a few days ago...my god this is the best album I have heard in last 15 years period! Wow..where has this been hiding!?
Same, but oder 50 times every Day!!!
👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😘😘😘💯❤️❤️❤️🤘🤘🤘❤️
Me too, just heard it on the radio and looked it up on YT to listen again.
I just saw him play this Sunday. He opened for the Foo Fighters at the Aspen Jazz Fest. He fucking stole the show! Everyone there was so blown away. You don't expect the opener to put the headliner to shame. But my God he still has it! He's a fucking legend!! This song hasn't gotten near enough attention. Love it!
Holy Shit! Billy did it again. What a strong song and his voice is like not so young boys anymore, sounds like adult man. And the song sounds like real music, not a crapsong whit samples and digisounds. Thanks Billy. You are Legend!
TRUE
▶️🅰️⚀
He defines rockstar
That’s an okay assessment.But he hasn’t sounded like a boy since Generation x respectively.That was 1977
@@bilhamcobbly2957
i was born in 77! ..
is that the musical conscioussness of the world I chose to enter into at that time ?..
Lol ..
( Generation X 1977!.. )
IT all makes sense now!!.
..
Billy IDOL is a legend..
So is the other guy.
( The real him!..😜👁️💐 )
Looks like billy is signing about his motorcycle accident that almost killed him 6 of February of 1990. I'm glad he his still with us love billy idol he's still a rebel.
i was thinking the same thing!!!
It's 100% that, Billy said as much himself at the concert in Wisconsin last week. Outside of that, it also seems to touch generally on Billy's more self-destructive decisions in life. Glad he came out the other side, world is a better place with him in it.
My thoughts exactly
He said that's exactly what inspired this song last night in Washington
Didn't know that.
Songs like this once in a while make us realize how timeless Billy's music is
If he had recorded this back in the '80s, this song would have a strong rotation on MTV (when that channel was good of course).
I’ve always loved that he just sounds like Billy Idol and nobody else. He has his own style andrhythm and always seems to tie it all together in a neatly wrapped whiplash smile sort of package.
Instant classic!!! I love the way old-school singers are showing that music is a never-ending journey to inspire others.
As good as anything he's ever written. Hats off to this legend. Ride on, brother!
Really sounds fresh like back in the day....Eyes Without a Face Era
Billy idol is a badass and always will be...so many memories cruising around in fast cars listening to rebel yell and white wedding back in the day and still today.
His best stuff by far! Rebel Yell album that is and the one before it.
My camaro is gonna pump that
I fell you friend. Keep Cruzin till you can't cruz no more,
Blasting Billy in the stang🐍.
Forgot to be a Lover..best video ever!
When is this legend going to get the recognition he deserves? Absolutely love him BILLY FUCKING IDOL 😍 ❤
What are you talking about? He’s super famous. How did he “not get recognition? “
Thats what we call him too. Billy fucking idol. Also have a friend named billy fucking adams. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
Billy, you have written my hymn !! Exactly four years ago, I got sick and had to stay in hospital and rehab for 3 months. I had doubted whether I was to come out of this alive. Since then, nothing has been the same. the bitter taste remains no matter how I try to stay positive and move on. You express exactly how hurt I feel inside and how it still feels... THANK YOU SO MUCH !!
My God. How? How does he consistently stay so good and get even better? His voice is still good, clear and strong. He just gets better. No wonder he's my favorite male singer.
I just saw him in concert and the guy still has it!
Some artists age like wine.
And who's your favorite singer ?
He has a godly voice. The right amount of raspiness and very melodic as well
▶️🅰️
Amazing artist who never sold out, incredible vocalist and this is one of the best songs ever written by anyone in years.
I Agree!
Totally agree with that!
Define Sellout. I agree with your statement but I don't agree with a lot of other so called sellouts
I agree on both points. I can't think of a better written song going back a ways.
Such a triumphant song. At least that's how I hear it. There will be countless covers of it.
This man is a legend, that’s all I got to say….he’s never ever disappointed, not even once. He deserves all the success and love anyone could ever receive. Just so talented!😌👑
Kings and Queens of the Underground was a fantastic record! One of his best ever. I can't wait to listen to more off this new one.
Very well said
He is very very underrated, indeed I love this new song!
Agreed!
He's one of my favorites but his late 80's and 90's stuff like Money Money was really disappointing to me. Rebel Yell was a masterpiece then he started doing run of the mill music.
I do like this new one though.
Billy is master of the old school of rock......yet he still thrives, creating masterpieces like this one. He is what he was and he will be......One of the greatest rockstars ever.
It's amazing and cool!
Bravo Billy!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞
Concordo bel pezzo
Not only is the songwriting as good as ever, but it seems like his voice hasn't changed much at all either, there's a slight rasp that wasn't there before and the lower notes are more gravely than he used to be but it actually sounds pretty cool, not like his voice is strained or shot like some artists when they get old. Glad this dude is still around and putting out good music. I was born just in time to see a lot of my favorite artists die off so I cherish the ones we have left.
right? I'm loving what time has done to his voice, that gravelly, wizened sound is really genuine now.
You're right! Billy's voice sounds very rich and resonant. In fact, it sounds better now than when I'd first heard him many years ago with "White Wedding!" There is something about this that reminds me of Nick Cave, a little "goth," but also very rootsy :)
same thing happened to Jhonny Cash's voice, the older the better
@Haily Rodriguez Take your 'talking song' and get lost pal. You shameless opportunist!
@@riskromer9773 John prine like fine wine
I won't say he's still got it because in my opinion he never lost it! This ticks all my boxes, great guitar, lyrics and that awesome gritty Billy Idol sound.
Amen!
Masterful as always Billy Idol, at 48 years old I will continue listening to his music until my last day on this planet
This was one of my Dad's favorite singers. He has since passed, but he would've totally dug this song.
Shout out to your father!! Bless his soul!!!!
Betcha your pop was a cool guy ! My sympathies
Your pop had great taste......RIP....50's here, and still love this guy.
You are so lucky to have had an amazing father and am sure he raised a great child
High five to your pops in heaven!! My deepest condolences and respect to your father and his memory. It's a great song. I know he would love it too
I’m only 15 and it feels like I’ve been listening to Billy since the 80’s. I’ve listened to most of his past songs (Eyes Without a Face, my personal favorite) and he even to this day produces top notch music. I’m glad I was born just in time to experience new Billy songs and I’m glad he hasn’t stopped making music. I’m excited to hear more!
Excellent that you youngers can appreciate a talent when you hear one, no matter how old.
I'm in my 30s now and discovered Billy when I was about your age, I can absolutely relate to this. Considering everything Billy has been through, I'm grateful that not only has he continued to create fantastic music but has gotten to become a grandfather.
Great stuff, Im 52, i was about 13/14 when i first heard him, his classics on the radio when they were in the charts. Still love his stuff now, tbh i prefer his solo stuff to Generation X since i was too young to appreciate Generation X when they first came out, but his solo stuff was my era (early 80s)
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good 4 u👍👍👍👍
A living legend absolutely delivering once again. I don't just hear this song I *feel* it.
Esta canción es un oasis de calidad y talento en estos tiempos de canciones de
porquería que hay.
Se debe valorar más a Billy Idol.
I'm 25, my dad's a huge billy fan, been to see all my dad's favourites with him but Billy is by far the best, old Billy is still exactly the same as young Billy and still sounds great and has his crazy side, I've had Billy drilled into me since I can remember and this tune is brilliant and as good as his prime 80s music the chorus is amazing
I'm 26 and I feel the exact same way you do, been listening throughout my whole life because my dad loves him, even seem him live a few times.
I don't want to sound like "that" old lady, but I love it when my 20-something kids listen to, and appreciate, the same music that I do. And vice versa. Loved, loved, loved seeing him and Miley performing together!!
Funnily enough I prefer Older Billy to young Billy. I just prefer his rough raspy older voice.
This is, for sure, my favorite Billy Idol's song. The history behind this song makes it meaninful, a Billy's maturity melody.
Feel like digging out those Billy Idol singles I bought back in the 80s with my pocket money and dusting off the record player in the loft...
Amazing Artist I grew up hearing his music since the 80s and still enjoying his music
Dang, I can't believe how good Billy's voice still is! As a kid in the 80's, I'd never have imagined myself listening to a new Billy Idol song in 2021.
Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Joe Jackson, Billy Idol, these artists span my entire life and childhood. During these Dark 20s and my personal life ordeal, this was the exact song I needed right now.
what do you think about durans new songs? new album oct 22nd;-)
Hang in there, pal. As long as you're breathing, there's hope.
Das ist meine Zeit woh ich mit groß geworden bin
Totally can relate a lot of us need this….
Music my friends... real Music like this will always save those in need a will or Lord and savior... all you have to do is seek it.
Honestly, his voice sounds exactly as it did in the 80s, and not a bad song at all actually.
This is one of his best songs
It's bloody fantastic! I feel like he just earfucked me.
@@xiyx9748 Agree! Such a deep deep song
Ich bin seit meinem 13. Lebensjahr Billy Fan. Dies war ich schon in der ehemaligen DDR seit 1983. Es war für uns Billy-Fans in der DDR schwer, immer auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben. Umso schöner ist es, jetzt zu sehen dass der Meister immer noch einer der besten Musiker (für mich der Beste) ist. Ich hoffe, wir dürfen noch lange Deine Werke geniessen. Lippe hoch und weiter gehts. I love you my IDOL...
This is fucking brilliant. Welcome back, Billy.
FACT 👍
Billy is still hungry. What a man!!! Much respect.
Yeah! And thirsty 😂
Over the years you never disappoint Billie I always love your music
Hey Billystar you sing me deep out of my soul ITS hard but so intight

Yep! The Real FREAKING Deal.
Wow! It's beautifull ! His voice is like wine, it gets better and better.
This song is so unbelievably amazing. It’s better than everything out right now. I don’t know why this never got radio play just discovered it for the first time today.
It's like Billy took Chris Isaak and Johnny Cash and mashed them into this epic song. Great job guys! I'm impressed!
I’ve been saying Chris Isaak such a cool vibe love!!!,
Be Jonny sta su un altro pianeta
Great comment! I was thinking of Chris Isaak and Chris Rea though myself.
Exactly...my friend thought Tom Waits also for a second.....all Flesh for fantasy gone 21st century
50% Billy Idol
25% Chris Isaak
25% Johnny Cash
You can't write and perform a song as soulful as this without experiencing the darkness Billy went through with his motorcycle accident. Such beauty from such suffering.
Billy is a true survivor , some of us go through dark times , its a hard time , but we keep going
Yes, I believe you hit the nail on the head. When a person can take his/her suffering and transform it into a song so that you also feel it. A true artist and I have so much respect for him.
Yes, beauty from ashes …
I was a passenger on the back of a road bike in 90 and forced into the oncoming traffic leaving deer Creek reservoir just east of salt Lake City. One of my best friends driving "Dennis W Nash miss you my brother "did not survive the accident. It really seems the coolest of the cool ,the people I look up to ,the people I want to hang out with .those that I don't want to go,go too soon. Perhaps that's just perspective I don't know but I'm 52 years old now and I sure do get lonely for the old days sometimes.. I'd like to think I've learned some valuable lessons along the way and I have the hard way of course. I have more than just hope I have faith that I will see my friend again someday sometime somewhere as well as my family and you're a grateful for my limited knowledge and Christianity. I do believe Jesus Christ is my savior .I do believe he died for my sins and I do believe he came back that we may all be forgiven. It's in this belief that I have faith to see my friends and family again and to be with them forever. No matter how alone or lost I feel I know that God likes me and for that I am truly grateful.
It seems when I watch the news it's very easy to develop a negative perspective. Sometimes I have to remind myself that the news feeds on the negative energy and that's what drives the madness. When I stop take a deep breath look around me and think about it from a real perspective there's still a lot of beautiful in the world a lot of good and a lot of cool. I'm going to try and focus on those parts and leave the rest alone. Nobody ever got ahead one a war or became successful by worrying themselves into it. What will be will be and things out of my control are things I try not to worry about. Not to the point of ignorance for many of these things good potentially change my life as well as yours and everyone else but that hasn't happened yet. So I choose to live into here and now I'm going to try harder to turn off the negative because life really is all about perspective in my opinion.
Anyway I hope anyone that reads this has a great day know that someone somewhere has it better than you and always will have someone somewhere has it worse than you and they can change that so can you so can I.
I tried to edit this ramble but kept having to start over so I'm just going to leave it alone. Please forgive me. It's late for me and I'm tired and running short on patience. 😁
Thanks,
Just Brock😎😎

Que musicao, Billy sempre Idol 🎉🎉🎉
I'm so glad that Billy wasn't left by the roadside I'm so glad that Billy is Still rocking
I'm just glad Billy is still with us and producing fantastic music. His Kings and Queens Of The Underground is an absolutely amazing album I'm sure his newest album will be a great follow it up.
This has hit written all over it.
his last album was as good as any album he ever done
Yes, classic and classy album, because it was Billy in full flow and produced by Trevor Horn, the last album produced at SARM Basing Street.
Billy is everything to me, has been my entire life…I honestly didn’t think he had something like this still in him. I’m in tears. What a gift. This is peak stuff here. Unreal. We love you Billy!

Billy Idol a great one with a heart of gold I still remember the concert where he got his old father on stage ...
Damn what a great song....Billy's still got it. 80's forever.
That *Bitter Taste* is so sweet to my ears with its melancholic lyrics, and Billy Idol taking me back to the eighties... I just love it! Video is on *loop* and I'm listening to it over and over again, while watching his whiplash smile and his sexy strides...

Psychedelic Furs released new music recently. As did Gary Numan, Danny Elfman, Dinosaur Jr, Robert Smith (with Chvrches), Counting Crows, Travis, Bush, The Offspring, Ministry, and others. I know, a lot of those are 90s, not 80s acts. Still, a lot of older groups putting stuff out recently. Pretty cool.

Great song. My fave is when he pumps his fist and sings Flesh for Fantasy.
One of the best songs he's released so far. I don't like Kakaoella as much as here. The best times are over but it's still a great song❤️🔥 thanks Billi🫶🏻 Greetings from TX Colorado 🤘
Still got it 100%. A rarity. Most get reduced to embers over time but he’s still a fire.
I'm pretty sure this is about his struggle with alcohol and his bike crash. For those of you that don't know we almost lost him. But he has a lovely little girl now and he's still here. I'm so glad. Billy you turned me punk when I was just young. Now I'm really loving this. Man your fire. Please don't leave us anytime soon mate. We need you.
Isn’t that his granddaughter.
@@susansimone yes you're right
Yeah he had a struggle with drugs and alcohol and we nearly did loose him when he had his bike crash bit billy has come back stronger than ever .keep it up billy please.
I wonder if he is saved to Heaven, as he did say ''...Born again..' and 'my new crown", references to the Bible and finding Jesus, with a glimmer in his eyes and a knowing smile...Maybe I'll meet him on the other side after all...Hope so...He's an Idol!!!
Hey dear thanks for the comment love and support keep it coming
I'd like us to talk more on a more private space
Man, this song is a hit. After all these years, he managed to put out a track that could rise any career.
The vocal interpretation is fabulous. I´d love to see a Rick Rubin/Idol collaboration in the way the first did with Johnny Cash, with simple instrumentation and the voice as the main protagonist.

Love this song...Billy Idol is timeless.
It turned out to be an interesting fusion-music in style of Chris Isaak, but with the vocals of Billy Idol. There is something in this! Let the new album be all in a similar vein.
I cannot believe this song didn’t get more attention, unreal man, I have no words except that he’s still got it
This is called staying true to who you are. Thank you Billy Idol for being you, great song.
We like how Dolph Lundgren slowly turns into Billy Idol and then sings a really nice song
The legend is back
Who else is here after hearing this on Umbrella Academy? 55yo and long time Billy Idol fan and I had no idea he was still making some kick-ass music.
Hmmmm...I've got two years on you and followed him since his Gen X days.
Saw him live in the 90s, drug, alcohol fucked days in Brisbane, Australia.
I'm not kidding he couldn't stand up. Kept falling over. Couldn't remember lyrics.
I was front row. Half the 15,000 crowd left it was so BAD.
I just loved it cause it was old skool rock n roll.
He STILL had the fist pumping, sneer attitude through the chaos.
It was fucking great but dreadful
I can't believe he's still alive and putting out great shit
Gutsy bastard
Weird.
Yes. Just heard it on U A! Awesome song.
Let's go fellas.
Let's get this ripper song to a million!
