Singer William Michael Albert Broad aka Billy Idol and Guitarist Steven Bruce Schneider aka Steve Stevens are a power songwriting and performance duo who are still active today and better than ever.
short, intense, chaotic... reaching deep into his instrument to pull its guts out through its throat, just to find a sound that was never there before... and yet it fits like a glove in the song. "Yo, that boy was going nuts" sums it up pretty well, heh
White Wedding & Eyes Without A Face are must sees for Billy Idol... straight up 80's rock here... Billy came real close to losing his life in a motorcycle accident, but he came back & I know he was still doing concerts a few years ago.. not sure if he still is though. Anyways, thank you for doing this, young man. Stay safe & stay strong.
Cheers from Sweden :). Man i grew up on stuff like this back in the 80's :)....Billy Idol deserve more cred and he's still AWESOME live. Heck hes all of us grandpa but is ripped.
Check out eyes without a face by billy. It’s a complete change from this song, this guys was great. Edit: flesh for fantasy is another one that has the same-ish contrast
Love it :) thank you for the reaction, ** Michael Jackson knows a good guitarist when he sees one, he hired (Billy Idol guitarist Steve Stevens for Dirty Diana), and (Slash from Guns n Roses for "Given to me"), and (Eddie Van Halen for "Beat it", but was not featured in the video but was on stage with Eddie live) and Eddie may have done the guitars in "Thriller" if I'm not mistaken??
I caught him in concert in Dallas while on a weekend pass in '83. Had a night to kill before seeing Genesis w/ Phil Collins and was pleasantly surprised. Billy rocks!
This is a late comment but you're definitely top two reviewers on RUclips! It's just such a natural reaction compared to so many people who overexaggerate everything
All the women are for the video, Billy would never have let fans get that close. I last saw him in the late 90”s , he opened for Def Leperd . Awesome show
Love Billy Idol! Great reaction! Can you react to other songs of his from this album? Crank call, Eyes without a face, blue highway, or do not stand in the shadows? You could do all of them!! That would be fine by me!! Keep up the good work!
Back then in the punk scene it was hard to discern men from women other than the builds perhaps lol. In my punk community they way you saw the difference was though the holes in the jeans where females didnt have hairy legs lol :D....and perhaps some face make up ofc....yet in a live crowd like that its hard to see the difference however most females did get a free pass to get closer to the stage oten invited by the bands. one thing i want to make clear everyone was equal back then and we did not want or need a fascist party or media to say we are free. (pointing at CNN and democrates)
Awesome reaction. You should listen to his two other hits from the same era.. White Wedding (32 million views) and Dancing With Myself (56 million views)
3:20 That's a handsome guy bro, no wonder the audience is full of women. Man, that's the life eh? Your pick of thousands of women, every day of the year.
The strange thing is I do not like today’s modern music very much, my father did not like my music very much and I don’t think my grandfather liked my father’s music very much, there seems to be this natural progression, but I still think my generation of music is the best and that isThe Billy Idol generation lol it’s just way better
Billy Idol is just a great rock star. 💜💜💜
Attitude and Energy is what Billy Idol is all about!!!

Guitar solo is incredible in this tune...wish it was 10 minutes longer... The guy playin' it is Steve Stevens...

@@NondescriptMammal Exactly! Thank you for paying attention!
On guitar the Great "Steve Stevens" a legend...
My high school jam. Was a great time to be a teen. Great memories
The ‘80s was a great time to be a teenager. Great music, fashion and overall simpler time. Girls loved Billy Idol. He was hot.

After the serious accident he came back with another banger: "Rock The Cradle of Love" In the music video you would never guess that he was disabled
He is touring now if I’m not mistaken
Fire indeed. Thumbs up

“With your huevos in thee air..”
The woman at 1:57 of this video (Your Vide) with the black tank top was his girlfriend at the time
Some Foo Fighters please friend.. Run, Best of You, The Pretender.. Everlong.. Any of these :)
Billy brought the heat! Please listen to "Flesh for Fantasy'.
