Doing this song on the Empire State building is such a rock star move. I love this.
I thought it was pretty ironic that he is performing "Rebel Yell" from the high point of the Empire
Ya especially with all those screaming fans.
This is the gig that inspired Johnny Silverhand to raid Arasaka Tower.
Still getting it good wicked cool drone footage
🫰🏻LOVE ✌🏻PEACE 🤟🏻🔥ROCKNROLL
His voice is incredible in this video. Can't believe how well he's aged.
Voice got that age vibe💪
I can't believe that he grew this old. Think about his livestyl back in the days
I can't believe he's still alive, much less still able to belt a tune out like that.
Rebel yell will forever be iconic
You got that right 👍🏽
As will he
More! More! More!
@@simoansays4820 😂👍🏽
His best tune!
They don't make legends like these anymore! Long live Billy Fuckin' Idol and Steve Stevens!!
Damn straight!
Steve Stevens and Billy still rockin' after all these years.
...and without auto tune.
I hate to break it you you, but there is absolutely pitch correction used in this performance.
That's reserved for todays bullshit rap and hip hop "artists".
@@kingwinter2025 There is subtle autotune on his vocals here. Yes, it sucks. Almost everyone uses it now
@@Stellamaeby That's OK. He rocked it back in the eighties without it.
@@Stellamaeby this is it. i hardly even think it's the artist's choice anymore, it just gets added automatically by people mixing it. it sucks, but like you said, everyone does it now :/ but i have heard Billy singing without it in recent times and the man definitely still has it!
When Billy points, he’s not pointing to a person. He’s pointing to an entire borough.
👈🤘😂
LMAO
Or the state of New Jersey.
It simply doesn't get any better than Billy Idol and Steve Stevens. 40 years later and it still rocks like day one!
Cripes that 40 years went by so fast
@slayorcs your not kidding, those were the good Ol days.
@@slayorcs you're telling me...
Nobody can defeat a rebel yell… and there’s the only man who can bring that rebel yell!
Billy Idol is timeless
There is no way Rebel Yell is 40 years old, that would make me.....awww crap, i got old.
Love this song, love the whole album. Had it in vinyl, cassette and CD, I think I wore the cassette out.
🤣 Yep, I hear ya!! Old as DIRT!! 👩🏻🦳 Where did the time go? ✌🏻
Made me chuckle.
We All Did ❤❤❤😊Rock On ✌️🤘🤘🤘
I know - it's just like the other day this was a brand new song and its brand new video was all over MTV 😂 time is a trip
No shit, my mom would say where did the day go at 85, now I know what she meant; the time is flying by me now
Anybody else have the willies the entire performance? No stage diving please. Brilliant performance by Idol
That'd be a helluva stage dive!
Finishes with a base jump 😂
Very Good Billy Is True' Ídol!..❤❤❤😊!
I would never do this
I had the same thought! Look at them stick to the wall, though! 😃🥰😎
This is the most Billy Idol thing ive ever seen
Steve Stevens, dude can straight tear it the f up.
Great player.
Top Gun Anthem is my favourite.
I 4got he did the top gun theme....the album he did with Vince Neil is strait fire & I never thought I'd say that...lol
@isaacshaver6218 thanks for the info. I'm going to look that up.
@@myoldmate yea he does all of his tricks and techniques....there are even a couple songs where he integrate his Spanish flamenco guitar style that he is famous for and has done four or five solo albums of
Steve Steven's is an underrated guitar legend who is equally talented as lead or rhythm. He can make one guitar sound like two, not unlike EVH.
True, but they also added a faint pad sound, or maybe it was an effect pedal. But I'm sure it would've sounded fine without it.
Comparing him to Eddie? I think that's pushing it.
@@WoodwerkerAlways you people. It's called an opinion.
Strongly agree - definitely an influence
@@anonymouse527 Sounds like from his FX board and not added afterwards. Also, they kept little mistakes in the guitar performance which I find really authentic. Its pretty stormy in such heights, its probably cold and th guitar also gets out of tune much faster.
I'll say this... all things considered, Billy's aged REALLY well. Great performance.
I saw Billy when he was 50 and he was ripped yet, thought to myself "I hope I age as well". Now that I'm 50+, I think maybe...just maybe...I should have been a rock star! 🤟
Yeah! Don't forget Steve tho. Those 2 had their INS and outs but nobody does it like these 2 together. Steve Masters that guitar no matter where. This was one of my faves all the way back. Eyes Without a Face is #2 for me.😉🤘🏼
Plastic surgery is pretty obvious
In the mid-high tower, she cried more more more!!!
68years old and still rocking, thanks for the memories Billy
Epic 😎
Dang, he's 68! 🥰
Gen X music will live on forever!!
Damn right!!
I always said this guy would rise to the top...😊
Billy, Idle. ;)
I see what you did there 😂
😂
I'm dizzy just watching it!
Billy and Steve. Still rocking after40 years!.
Whoever thought of this idea, HIGH FIVE! 😃
No fear of heights for these two. Wow! 😳
I don’t know, Steve was back against the wall most of the time 😂
You bet he's got an iron grip on that guitar pick
I'm dizzy and a little nauseas just trying to watch.
I want to read every comment and thumbs up you all! It's great to see Billy and Steve never quit and still sound magnificent!
" You can do it "
And in such an iconic place 😂 I'd be terrified lol didn't seem to phase him
@@beckyboo1433me too. I'd forget the words at that height.
What a performance!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took a lot of Balls to perform there. I love it. Billy and Steve
If you've never seen Billy Idol live, you haven't lived. He still brings it. Rock n roll legend.
Love live Billy !!
I saw Gen X and that's better than Billy Idol 👍
Saw Idol in Vegas just waiting for him to get back to Vegas.
Yo lo vi en vivo el año pasado acá en Santiago de Chile .... espectacular !!! 😎🤟👏👏
He is one of my favorites from my youthful years that I’d love to see one more time and hopefully remember it. Damn I sometimes had way too much fucking fun, god bless y’all
Saw him at Donnington a couple of years ago, brilliant…
I love how the wind went silent for Billy and Stevie. Rock on boys!
That song only gets better.
Billy Idol singing from the top of the Empire State Building. Wow! ❤
Hot in the City!
Billy owns NYC now.
😂😂😂😂😂
If I could like this video a million times, I would! An icon singing at an iconic place!…excellent!
What's next? He's played hoover dam! Now the empire State building. Still kicking ass!!!
Next stop..the Moon.. lol:))
@@v4v777😂
Idol rocking the ISS,before that thing comes bk to earth
@@v4v777obviously
How about the Sun..... They're burning it up.
As an American, I thank you BILLY! We need this right now!
I m not american but i think the same 😊 🌍🌎🌏🌈
Steve Stevens is so good!!!
YOU bring tears to my eyes where you are performing, your guitarist this is all so dam beautiful 🎉🎉 Thank You for being you!! 💓
Im betting thats an irreplaceable feeling singing over the city
“Made it, Ma! Top of the world!”
Dude this is amazing! He still has it! Let’s go Billy!!!
Good God, Idol is 68-years old, and still pushing it. -C
BILLY IDOL WITH Steve Steven's reaching New heights
Thank you to whomever was operating the drone to capture this beautiful footage!
Half the city thinks it's just their neighbors blasting Billy Idol again. 😎😁
@@lesgobrandon8038 😁😂
It is....
No one but them heard it. It was not blasted on speakers around the city.
☝️👍💯‼️
💋
This will be one of the most iconic music videos ever made.
the last king was up there was King Kong... long live the king
IT'S TRUE, THIS COMMENT IS TOO STRONG AND FUNNY, THE VIEW OF NEW YORK CITY WILL BE SPECTACULAR AND BREATHTAKING, THIS SONG IS ROCK HISTORY, LISTENED THE FIRST TIME ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO, CRAZY HOW THE HANDS OF THE CLOCK SPIN ⌛ GREETINGS FROM ITALY 🇮🇹
King Rocker, of course! ... Generation X
BI looks a bit like Kong when he scowls.
King rocker!! Rock rock rock
The last King was Elvis, and he never has been up there. Why should he ? 🤪
I didn't know I needed this.
YESS GO BILLY & STEVE!! YALL ARE SO GOOD!!
Steve's keeping well back from the guardrail 😁
"Hey, you two, get down from there!" I'm impressed that they could be up there anyway, I'd be hugging the floor... :^D
The only man that’s ever made me speechless! Steve and Billy were walking toward me getting ready to go on stage “ello sweetheart” said Billy and I couldn’t get the words out! And I was working in radio at the time! One of my greatest memories. Billy was super cool with a big cheeky grin! First and only time I have been star struck 😂😂
Hell yah! Great story!
You guys have big brass balls . Great performance , as one said timeless .
Absolute icon no way I’d be up there
On top of the world baby! 40 years went by in a flash! ⚡🌎🍾👊🎇🎸🎶🫶🔊✨
he still sounds great!
How fantastic is this! Next stop Statue of Liberty Eyes Without A Face then a concert on Mount Rushmore with Billy singing on top of George’s head!🤩🎤🗿Rock The Cradle Of Love!
That would be a feat that probably no one else could do
That was pretty 😎 cool!
Billy F***ing Idol does it again. Outstanding work from two legends.
Never knew I needed to see Billy singing rebel yell at the top of the Empire State building but here we are.
1:08 Marriage Proposal at the Observation Deck. 😊
“More, more, more. Yeow!”
So cool
Billy and Steve, we love you! More, more more!
I had sweaty palms the whole damn banger.
сорок лет слушаю❤🤘🤘🤘👍
Билли Айдол действительно хорош, но конкретно в данном случае меня терзают смутные сомнения. Дело в том, что на такой высоте практически всегда есть достаточно сильный ветер, а звук, который мы слышим в этом видео, очень чистый, как будто из студии...
Wow gets better with age wonderful song ageless billy go billy go 🎉🎉
MORE MORE MORE!!! ❤
Is it just me or does everyone still want more more more! 😊
Rebel yell and the Empire State building. Such a great idea. Great job gentlemen great job.
Oh my goodness this is incredible. Never knew there was a birds nest at the top of that building. (Been on public observation deck plenty of times) this sounds incredible and the idea and execution is amazing
How the hell did that happen? That was fan.....tastic! Steve chops are still Amazing & Billy... well Billy is still & forever fab U lous. Brings a big smile. Thanks dudes!
One word needed. Legends
Singing from the ultimate roof top! Sounds great just the two of them.
Bad Ass!
He needs to be singing “hot in the city” up there, a NYC anthem!
Well that was bloody fantastic
Hell Yeah, forever a classic! 🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌟
This music will live for ever. Billy Idol as a singer that marked a moment in time for the 90 generation. Long live rock.
Now now that's how a legend makes a music video
Biiiiillyyy I looooooveeee youuuuu
A song that will be as timeless and classic as the Empire itself.
That's insane... Just amazing 👏 🤩 😍
Beyond fantastic. There's no one like the great Billy Idol. ❤🎉🎆🎇🌹❤️
Awesome🎉
Hell yeahhhh
This was awesome!!
Billy and Steve are superhuman
He sounds great!!
Billy is way bigger than the Empire Statebuilding❤
Dude still has pipes for sure!
i am 37 now. I started getting into Billy Idol when I was 11, when the Wedding Singer movie first came out. it's funny how some music I listened to as a pre-teen is horrible today, but there's others like Billy Idol that slap for all eternity.
Fook yeah! Rock on, boys!👊😘
This is too cool!!
This legend will live forever
This is fantastic!
Billy and Steve, a team for the ages. Legends.
rebel yell will always be remembered
I'm glad he didn't go too nuts. That ledge isn't that high! Love Billy Idol since Generation X 40 years +!
Bringing back great memories Billy ❤Gen X here I love to see you're still a badass❤
When I heard he was playing there, I didn’t expect that arrangement
incredible!
awesome, love it
