Man, this guy is the definition of iconic... I don't think people appreciate how great he actually is as a musician tbh!
He was a legend in the 80s
Yo ,siiiii.
agreed!
I can't describe how great he is. I'm 44 and I still can't get enough of his music.
By the way, I'm starting to get used to his new music/recent songs.
@gropatapouf5998 - He's "Nothing To Fear" - THE BEST!!!
Omg! How many f’ing kickass timeless songs do these guys have?
@jemhader5029 simply loads 😅
have you heard Sweet Sixteen (by Billy Idol)? another Great song,
@@MusicMoviesFun lol yep. I’m almost 50 years old. Been listening to him since I was a kid
Underrated song...That guitar solo is amazing.
one of his best songs
Stevens is such a wicked guitar player... guy can shred!!!
@@poltergeist909 it is! Love this song!
@@jasonlevine1990 Steve Stevens is freaking awesome. An underrated Guitarist for sure. Some of my favorite riffs are from him.
Love it!! Gives me chills Everytime
I love the awareness that Billy has when it comes to Steve Stevens. He knows how far Steve’s sound pushed him through and you can’t have one without the other. Legends
billy. steve, and the underrated electronic/rock production.
Very True! Seen them about 7 times throughout the years, and my 3 kids are huge fans as well. Huge fans, we've seen them 3 times since 2010... I saw them during the Rebel Yell tour at the Cow Palace in San Francisco! Oh Man what a band! And they still sound great, they put on a very good show!
there's nothing like hearing Steve playing LIVE while he's standing right in front of you. no recording can completely do him justice it's like taking a ride right along with him aboard an inter-dimensional UFO, except with the Knaggs label on the headstock, it is identified. so I suppose it's an IFO ride in fact...
Was just thinking that as I read your comment. Great duo
@@raysurx20107 times. That's awesome.
You cant get any much better than Billy Idol & Steve Stevens together.
thats what iam saying, too the man ,all night long ,saw the man Billy Idol, live! too bad future readers born in 2040 too late ps iwas there !
100 percent man dude on !
Unusual but efficient duet.
They are the most iconic duo EVER
Yes sirree Billy Bob...
Can't believe how fresh this still sounds from '84.(edit '87🤭) Still a crackin' track.
All Billy’s music seems fresh to me. I was just thinking about how well it’s all aged - like fine wine.
It f****** rocks
1986
@@Hooligan.Residuato.Italia.90 ARIA single released entry 9th March '87 Peak #22., Album released ''86 Go figure.🤷🏻
Still a bangin track.
My co worker and i try to one-up each other with songs, haven't been able to top him after he showed me this jam last week lol
This song is really underrated.
He has the sexiest voice ever,l love this song.
Cardina Cheung That’s the voice of an intense Scorpio. Love it!
What that mean sexiest voice ? I don't understand.
@@grzegorzkamosinski2756 Means she has an orgasm when he sings
@@John_sbuilds
Seriously? Well, no balls.
Uauuuuuuu!!!!!!!
He has something only he has, that many guys try copy and they never could, its impossible copy him.
and yet as Buffy has said, he only copied the style from Spike.
or Steve Stevens too !
@@larnregis no he didn't "" ".... He copied it from did vicious of the pistols.. Such fuckin wank!!!!!
@@terryyepblaize6267 'As a punk who lived at that time when they,being,Sid, Billy, Glenn,Siouxsie,, were teenagers..sorry to say..you are wrong on that comment.'Sid and Billy were mates who loved 50's rock n roll,especially Johnny Cochran..they pillaged the look and the sneer and body demeanor from their rock n roll heros of earlier rebel years..same as the term punk..which was a descriptive from then as well. And as to copying..all music and performers stand on the shoulders of those who came before.We all pilfer the world for an identity to call our own..all of us.It is how you live it, and wear it, and feel comfortable in your own self created chameleon skin is what counts.Punk,rock n roll,Ska,Oi,metal,blues,jazz, alternative and all music is a spectrum all evolved simultaneously and woven together over years lived.'

Exactly, that's right
I was getting groceries at Kroger last night when this song came on the intercom! I haven't heard this song in 30 years, and it brought back some wonderful memories from the 80s... Cruising in my shiny new IROC-Z, a head full of hair, a hot girlfriend by my side, and hearing this song in a nightclub while sitting in a booth wasted. Good times!!!
Nice memories brother. Time huh.
@Kenny D
Kroger's has good taste in music
i think you just wrote the alternate version of the video for this song. :D
Βilly is such an iconic rock singer. His voice is so distinctive and his timbre changes are fucking awesome. He has like this warmth in his voice which can get pretty wild at the same time, not to mention his rock scream is perfect ( 1:58 ) . THANK YOU BILLY FOR ALL THE SONGS...ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AND LIKABLE ROCKSTARS EVER, IF NOT THE MOST IN MY BOOK.
+TVB Land indeed ,awesome voice,im happy someone hear what i hear....i thought im the only one..noone around me ever get that
+jetsat100 BILLY IS OUR KING ROCKER BRO
indeed Bro
I consider Billy Idol a genius. Just an incredible talent.
Billy idol rrockeiro
This has always been my favourite Billy Idol song.
Me too
Man, I do f**kin’ love it. My favorite too.
what a haunting tune. so in sync with city life in the 80's. absolute legend. not like current rubbish that the music industry is trying to peddle to us while wondering why sales are falling.
Hey, he still makes music and it is just as good :D There are a lots of good musicians, but mainstream might not be the same. Alternative is fantastic, even new wave got a new life. So all the good stuff is still there, but not in the stores though.
@@Belznis I like his new song, speaking of which
Wat kan i say, he is the best
My town is even given "the birthplace of Texas"
Rock has been murdered by rap.
What I find interesting is that the level of education has dropped everywhere in the western countries.
Less educated people ask for poor music...
One of those songs that NEVER gets old...... just like Billy ;-) Headphone on 200% loud and the guitar solo still gives me goosebumps after al these years.... Keep on rocking Billy!!!
Ya whole song is awesome but that solo is so original sounding. Those 2 guys are a legendary duo that gets no respect. Who knew a guitar virtuoso and a punk could sound so timeless over a dance beat.
Sounds awesome on headphones
Steve Stevens and Billy Idol. The greatest pairing in rock, ever! Whiplash Smile was Billy's best album. Steve Stevens guitar work on it was sublime.
Rebel Yell is my fave song of all time but when we're talking the album as a single work yeah it's Whiplash Smile.
..I think Rebel Yell was his best album..Whiplash Smile is o.k. to good, but to me, nothing really stands out on it..I actually don't care much at all for "to be a lover", the big "hit" off this album..it's boring, does nothing for me...nothing like "Rebel Yell", "Eyes without a face", White Wedding", or even "Flesh for Fantasy"....
He put out an album in 1993 that was overlooked but is actually pretty good in its own right, too. I remember this song from high school----the bigger hit off this same album was the even better song Got To Be A Lover---but this isn't that bad, either.
Yes I agree, my favourite song on the album is all summer single,great guitar solo.
This hit from Billy Idol was heard on the Miami Vice episode, Down for the Count, Part 2, which aired on January 16, 1987. Miami Vice will always be one of my all time favorite shows. It was the first to combine MTV with police action drama.
Definitely has that Miami Vice sound.
The 80's atmosphere!
Great red sky, and Steve Stevens's fantastic guitar solo!
Steve Stevens: one of the greatest, yet most underrated guitar players of all time.
+Matteo Prezioso Yep certainly true. Steve is a machine on the axe. Check out MJ's Dirty Diana from '88.
@@MatteoPrezioso damn straight! Steve Stevens Kicks ass
Amo essa música
@@aus80srockradio94 another great Guitar Riff from Steven!
Billy and his super guitarist... Without a doubt a great team ✊
They are the "dynamic duo" of the music world! (I CAN'T believe Billy allowed Steve to drift away for a some years after this album was released!) 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"When the other man has none
You don't need a gun"
- Billy Idol (1986)
“Well you can drive me through that red stoplight, with a whiplash smile wowwwww!” Been giving me chills since age 13. Certain songs you reserve for introducing the uninitiated to an artist and this is the one I pull out for Billy Idol. I mean with a line like that? Come on.
Me too! 😜 #uninitiated 😬
I'm the only one loving him amongst my rock and roll-fans friends.
I just don't understand, this guy is just a 9/10 superstar, I would rate a Prince at 9,5 and Queen at 10 imo (just giving you my opinion).
Thank you Billy. You remind us what a being a rock and roll true male means!
Steve Stevens Gosh...what marvellous guitar works here...
Steve Stevens such a great guitar player !!! And always with Billy since all those years!!! Amazing
Yep. Shows both those guys are only in it for the music. Most musicians are egocentric and can’t keep a band together longer than a few months. These guys have been and will be rocking forever
2024 still a Banger
Of the coolest synth parts in history !!
Courtesy of Harold Faltermeyer (Axel F theme). Yes, he killed it on this album!
What a crazy song! Changes key like 8 times, and some pretty awesome synthesizer arpeggios... mixed with some weird classical influence.
+Beethoven1111 Yea, but not enough babes!
Dang, you are pretty!
Doesn't matter how old you get, l just close my eyes and take in all in, with plenty of movements. That's when the magic happens. Just love this.
It really is a strange song-its kind of all over the place but has a hook as well- Its always been one of my faves from the 80`s and people always think Im joking when I say its one of my fave songs
If only it had some cowbell....
Whiplash Smile is a bad ass album, hiding in plain sight for yrs. Some of Billy and Steve’s best work on their most cohesive LP. Synth’s put it over the top. 🤘😎
3.30 man I fucking love how he goes from such a screaming guitar solo and banging drums to that melodic soothing harp sounding guitar and voice.
😂😂😂
Exactly man !
The most underated song from Billy
Always loved this song, I remember buying the 45 back in 1986, great stuff!!! Also I saw him in 1987 with The Cult opening
Agreed .. I adore this tune 🎶
To me, the most interesting and genuine or rock stars.. Not just a singer, a performer, a song writer, a lasting legend... Along with Stevens, a guitar genious (believe me, i play the guitar, i know what i'm talking about), they should be aknowledged as to top rock duo of all ages.. And totally genuine and cool, even when exploring the limits...
Limits?
What limits are you referring too. There are no limits in ROCK n ROLL🤘🏻😎😎🤘🏻
This cool track was played in Miami Vice Season 3 ‘Down for the count part 2’ when Sonny Crockett was being chased in his Ferrari Testarosa which made the scene epic then.
I had to go watch this episode again... awesome car chase scene halfway through with a C3 Corvette and a '70 Plymouth Challenger and of course the Testarossa. Don't need a gun is just the perfect soundtrack for this scene.
@@georgebalzer8219 ruclips.net/video/9rCLfm3THUo/видео.html
In 30 years a rocker will have billy driving his motorcycle....Like Johnny Ray in his 1950s car..."billy idol is still rockin'...."

Miami vice brought me here 2024
When BILLY IDOL was born they broke the mold. He's so unique and unforgettable ❤
to be a lover is up there too
I need more songs like this.
Your in the right place
Eloy - Metromania ALBUM
Rush - Power Windows ALBUM
We need to make the 2000's the 80s people! Lets start working on this!
DAMN!! I WISH we could pull that off!
Billy Idol and Steve Stevens need to be "Hall of Famer's" soon, as I can't see Billy being a real old man.
This song from the album "Whiplash Smile" was an homage to the roots and sound style of 1950's Rock 'n Roll/Rockabilly originators, namely Elvis Presley himself who was known to carry pistols on his person and was presented with an honorary FBI badge from J.Edgar hoover himself. The chorus features vocal stylings heard in many of Elvis' songs as well as other singers like Gene Vincent and Johnny Ray (who are mentioned by name near the end of the song) as well as Little Richard. "Don't Need A Gun" along with the majority of songs on Whiplash Smile emulated the style of the 1950's in keeping with the album's theme slogan: "Return to Splendor" (itself a take on Elvis's "Return to Sender")
I like you,Don!
Never heard the little richie part when I read about this on the liner notes. Billy is a huge eddie cochran fan as well. I have rare footage of him and gene vincent on my page. Check it out.
Thanx man! I love to read such complete and useful comments to songs, albums or artists.. It gives u a total dofferent perspective to it
The returrn to splendor(rock n roll remix,might be mother of mercy remix) part is also on the remix version of "to be a lover" from this record. Amazing song. Everyone should look up the remix.
@Buddy_Cactus I came here to make that comment, you beat me to it. Poor old Johnnie Ray, sounded sad upon the radio, broke a million hearts in mono.
I was that 14 year old that hung a picture of you in my locker, just like everyone else. lol. Your music marked the 80s. Will always love
Billy is totally contaminating that crime scene.
He's leaving Idol dna.Very confusing for the crime lab.
He's leaving Idol dna.Very confusing for the crime lab.
As he should.
Vladimir McCann cause he can 😆
He contaminated my life
what a track,they can`t compose today such powerfull rock Songs anymore
Yeah it pumps from start to finish.driving beat
jetsat100 I miss music like this. Music that tells a story from start to finish. Awesome vocals and mind blowing guitar skills.
I was already listening to Pink Floyd and Dire Straits back then , but Billy was my very first idol . And this song still is my favorite one
This goes hard asf. Billy idol is a Legend.
The 3:49 keyboard part is out of this world. I remember hearing it 36 years ago it is still great.
underappreciated track, great lyrics
what a song......they re exploding from energy.... great one
Yeah
you are really stupid
Get to know someone before leaving negative commentary pple
@@MatteoPrezioso nevah, i ve always been aside the cool ones......
I love this song... Billy and Steve were rocking hard
This is without a doubt the freeking coolest video from the 80's. The way Steve Stevens shadows Billy Idol throughout with his awesome guitar work brings it up to another level.
A f#%kin' men!! Pure CLASS...
ive never been more in love with a song
Killer song! One of Billy Idol´s best.
Love his voice, songs, vids and person. June 2024
I love when the videoclip makes justice to the song. This is completely aesthetic! Look at the lights, shadows and clothes. It's just like a film.
Yes, Billy is A STAR!
еще какая звезда!!!!!!!
2:58 The old windmill guitar move...love it!!!
That voice, that guitar! Rock music was rarely better than that...
This message! Nowadays more important than ever! Billy forever!
Billy Idol Rocks !
I recall listening to this one on then Radio Station 92.3 EON FM in Melbourne in 1987 when it was first released. The radio station changed to Triple M FM 105.1 Radio in late 1988. This song is just as great now as it was back then.
This song still works so well. Today - June 6th, 2014.

@@wrockage I totally agree. Thanks a ton
This song matched with the Miami Vice Testarossa car chase scene is pure PERFECTION ❤
80's fucking rule
Best rock song ever.
Such a good song. Love the way it breaks down at 3:15... then goose bumps from 3:29! 😍
I saw Billy IDOL in concert in 1984✨🙋
A human heart goes out tonight

Oh those twisting tongues they are after you
Wop bop a lu bop Son you gotta move up

It's all so insane
When the other man has none
You don't need a gun
Yes a Russian roulette no fun
I don't need a gun

Grande Billy! Sono cresciuta con le tue canzoni. Miei figli le ascoltano oggi😚☺😚
I only lived two years in the 80s, but I can only imagine that this is a look in to what a Saturday Night in the 80s in a thriving city would've been like!
It was a wild time i so miss the 80s
Everything was better in the 80s!!
Yes it was
I turned 15 in 1980. I got to experience high school, college, and the night club life in that awesome decade... Great memories, and great times! So glad I was there, and survived it.
It was boss. I'm 47, graduated HS in '89. Shit was fun as hell.
I like this song. and I love Steve stevens!
