    I saw Billy in Lexington Kentucky about 85 or 86 when Ratt came out with round and round they Opened for Billy And after their set they came back set down on the ground to the side of the stage and watched Billy Play.. Nothing but Respect for a rock legend when you got 10 good hits you’ve reached that statics

    Great singer/songwriter from the late 70's who made it big in the 80's and was then run off by the corporates who put him there in the first place. I was lucky to have seen him several times. His songs were the background music of my youth.

    Never seen Squier in concert but I remember this video back in the day; my favorite song he did, but this version. Was the face of early 80's rock; little androgynous, sorta simple tunes, but great music without a deeper meaning or agenda. I wish we were back in that scene, just sing a damn song! Dont need to hear what you think about the suffering people of Kampuchea or the plight of a rain forest. Squier knew how to be a proper rock and roll star in his day. Thanks for the share! - Rob

    So often, I'm quoted for it.
    When I am.
    I'm like nope.. "that's the only BS I'll ever happily listen to..
    BILLY SQUIER."
    if they say who's that.
    I make them listen..
    ...and I never play "the stroke."
    It's a shame that's popular. He was SUCH AN INCREDIBLE WRITER/SINGER/MUSICIAN.
    If you read this, Mr Squier.
    Thanks for the music.

They started off with Dragon attack and i lost my mind they finished with Bohemian rhapsody. Thank god i bought those $8:50 tickets.
