    The 80s was the most incredible time to grow up. There was a new band and classic hit dropping what seemed like every day. Back then you didn’t make it unless you were top 1% type talented and the music came from the bands themselves not teams employed by the record company to manufacture your sound. Will never be another time to rival the 80s.

      And we made artists by going to brick and mortar record stores to buy physical copies even before videos.

Don’t get me started on the variety of radio stations.

    Sir, a bit of background here. In the 80s we never knew if we would live to see the next day. 3rd WW was VERY close at hand. Then in the 90s we finely were free of this sword of Damocles and could live our lives. I am 64 yo, this was my youth. Today most people forgot what was before the 90s. A lot of people are ignorant of our past in Germany and the rest of the world.

    Billy Idol recorded a good cover of the 1960s Tommy James And The Shondells hit song, “Mony, Mony”, which features some African-American (I think) female backup singers. When his version of the song came out, it was a HUGE hit on the dance floor with teenage girls in the 1980s. They RAN out onto the dance floor to dance to the song.

And you hit the nail on the head - I saw these people live on tour. When I was 14 I was seeing Van Halen put on SHOW! Add in Aerosmith, Def Leppard, the Psychedelic Furs, ZZ Top, and then throw in the biggies..Michael and Janet, Madonna, Geoege Michael just to name a few. And…it was easy to get tickets! I’m older now and totally cool with it because man it was an absolute blast in the 70s and 80s and early 90s. Special times indeed.

      Born in 1962 so I feel so blessed to have come up with music from the 1960s onward. I remember when I was 7 The Beatles' Abbey Road came out on vinyl of course and even though I was only 7 I loved that album so much I stole it from my brother, who was 9 years older than me ha! I was in my 20s when Billy Idol was all the rage and I used to dance and rock out all over the house with my then baby/toddler son. I lost my son in 2015 when he was 31 but I still have so so many wonderful music memories he and I shared his whole life. Music was such a big thing with us, we would have epic music listening marathons all decades and genres of music till all hours as he grew into his teens and beyond, such joy sharing with him all the music I grew up on.

    Man, the 80s was the "last" decade for so many things. My high school years were 83-86 & we got the best music from the previous times; cool 50s doo wop & rock-n-roll, 60s psych rock, 70s funk, classic & Southern rock & then 80s punk/new wave, metal etc. It was the last decade of "crusin"...I tried to explain to my kids how we went cruisin on Fri/Sat nights...they couldn't understand lol. Also, I feel the last time that there was more unity. Sure, there were differences but no insane division like today. We all did stuff together, skin color really wasn't an issue...& that was in the deep South. Billy was a hard rockin dude that nearly every cassette player had his album.

    The 80's was The Party, the 90's was The Hangover. We in the 80's were in such a hurry to grow up, thinking it would only get better. We didn't know that it was a Golden Age. (It was a really good time to grow up in and be a teenager). I feel sorry for younger people today and all the negative garbage they're going through. (The styles, music, movies, EVERYTHING had so much energy in the 80's).

Wr were so pissed off until we heard that he cancelled! We all got a good laugh but in hindsight that must have REALLY sucked for them!

    drums drops the track, guitar moves it around curves, billy scrapes the ground, takes you up a small hill, dips then heads for the mountain, expecting the longer fall he swerves into a fist punch or two as he makes you chant more, more, more.

    About his singing, some of Billy's idols are Jim Morrison (The Doors) and Elvis Presley. You can see it in his expressions and also hear it in the style he uses when he sings the softer parts

    Billy started out in a punk band called Generation X so his music has a lot of punk influence.

    I love "White Wedding" by Billy . I don't know why people are saying this isn't like Billy.😮 This song is awesome.❤ Alot of 80s songs are lame but there's so much really great music too. I'm a 60s child and glad I was born in the middle of a good time. I got my first record player at 6 yrs old (made of plastic but it sounded fine).

    Billy Idol started off in the seventies in a punk band called Generation X.
    You should check out their most popular song King Rocker .

    Punk/new wave was a great era in the early 80' s. It was just a such nice change of pace from 70's rock.

    The 80's was the last decade of real band music (meaning music made by talented humans singing and playing real instruments) in the pop/rock genre.
    These days, so much of what is passed off as music is all computer generated.
    About the only true artists you see any more are either throw backs from the '80s or earlier, heavy metal, or country.

    There's an amusement park in Virginia that has a roller coaster called The Rebel Yell. And, I brought my walkman(1990) with me on the roller coaster and listened to this song. It was awesome. They had a scarier roller coaster and I listened to Metallica on that one. Everyone should try it.

    In ‘79 I saw Blue Oyster Cult, Sammy Hager, Heart, Van Halen and Nazareth at one concert. And that was in the Super Dome’s first day of Rock and Roll. Two other one happened in ‘80 & ‘81 with bands like Cheap Trick, Eagles, Foreigner, Foghat, Heart (played twice), REO Speedwagon, and Ted Nugent. I’m missing some but great concerts.

    Billy's one of rock's best vocalists. Kind of a punk Jim Morrison. He can still sing very close to his prime, which considering the difficulty of his songs and the extreme stress on his voice is pretty amazing.

    Not only is audio and video imprinted upon recordings like this, but also the energy, Zeitgeist or spirit of the age is also imprinted, recorded and kept. and the viewer will experience that to some extent or another during playback.

    Biggest thing was that there was NO social media! Eclectic mixing of musical genres and new sounds and sights with the birth of music videos and MTV when it actually was groundbreaking!

    This was a unique time in history. The first generation that had birth control growing up, the last generation that didnt have aides. There was only a ten year overlap of the two…it was a free, hedonistic time, in every way.
    Working, you could make enough money to live. Really LIVE.

    Very insightful observation on your part. As others commenting have said, it was a time that allowed young people to grow and experience all life had to throw at you. Freely, with whatever anguish or joy there is to encounter. Full of energy, surrounded by innumerable influences and avenues to pursue. And man the music did indeed supply the soundtrack to it all!!!! Keep up the good work!! Enjoy so much more you’ve yet to hear!

    There is an evolution of Billy Idol. Check out Gen X...the first band he sang in. He was just a baby. He is straight. The song is about a girl. But anywho. He is old now and a Grandpa . He is so very different now, than back then. But he has evolved. Check out him singing this song Rebel Yell with Myle Cyrus live for Iheart. He's old, but still got it. and he appreciated Myle singing his song.

    Written by Billy Idol and Stevie Stevens. This is the signature song 🎵
    Stevens recorded a toy gun 🔫 into a guitar 🎸 synthesizer.
    Great 👍 performance 🎭 40 years 🎂.
    Produced by Keith Forsey. In the same year, he, Georgio Moroder and the late Irene Cara, RIP, wrote Flashdance. That won 🏆 Original Song in a Movie 🎥 Soundtrack in the Grammys, Oscars and AMA.
    In the same venue where Billy Idol was with The Rolling Stones, Idol introduced Nile Rodgers to the late David Bowie, RIP. The 2 recorded and produced the album Let's Dance 💃.
    I loved ♥ being a boy 👦 in the 1980s.
    Suggested videos 📹: 1 Billy Idol sings Cradle of Love 2 Irene Cara sings Flashdance What a Feeling 3 David Bowie sings Let's Dance 💃

      When he finds out who played guitar on Let's Dance, his mind will be blown.

      What Steve Stevens does with the toy ray gun is he holds it up to the guitar pickups which when you have enough volume will come through the guitar amp. Eddie Van Halen did the same thing with a cordless drill for their song Poundcake. Also Steve Steven worked on the soundtrack for the movie Top Gun. Thats his guitar you hear on Danger Zone.

    This is the exact time a certain someone saw it was great and wants it to be great once more. The 80's may be the best decade of U.S. history, the music is just an example of how everyone lives back then.
