Holy Shit, did anyone notice Steve Stevens was playing two guitar parts with the same hand?? He was picking the lead and using his ring finger from the same hand to pluck the rhythm!!! Newfound respect for that guy!
Steven Stevens is legendary with the guitar. He is literally playing both lead and bass(rhythm) parts at the same time. I didn't think the song would sound good with the acoustic, but only Mr. Stevens can make that happen. Absolutely mental.
Billy is back!!! Steve Stevens guitar skills are unbelievable!! He still looks and sound amazing!!! He's still got the voice, the energy and the stage presence!! Damn I love this guy!! Steve Stevens is the absolute best, soooo underrated!! I just can't get over how good he sounds!! His voice is not damaged whatsoever, Billy has all of it and more!!! In 4 years Billy will be 70!! and he can do this now!!?? Same with Steve Stevens, he's 63 and I can see him and Billy still rocking out well into their 70's and BEYOND!!!
It's all the time he took off from being in the public eye and from performing that I think saved his voice. He still got it that's for sure and looks amazing.
I think it would be the opposite, if he would've stop singing for years he would lost the practice, instead, he did a lot of concerts in between and agree, still has that unique sound in his voice
An interview i read had him spend a lot of time on treating substance abuse addiction. And that prolly needed to occur out of the public eye so he can not have to mend under a spot light.
People write strange comments, from good to very tasteless and mean. I thought about it after the communicationdesaster with the 'subhumans'1 and 'Essenentials' and other desperate attempts to answer reasonably to questions while listening and staring at Your rare collection of videos and came to the conclusion better to keep mouth shut and write nothing anymore onRUclips :)
Wow! Just awesome. Nailed it! Those two go together like peanut butter and jelly! You can just tell they’ve been together a long time! Class act!😊👍🏻👍🏻🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It blows my mind how he keeps that E string going on so tight while he arpeggiates with the other fingers! Magical! plus all those creative voicings and so much feel and rock pocket. Guitar God!
From what his best female friend and lover described, Billy Idol was originally an intellectual named William.. saw a pic of him back in the 70s; wore wire rimmed glasses, dressed conservatively, of course very handsome. More bookish than anything. He created his persona, and got very wrapped up in it, and went all in with the crazy rock star sex and drugs lifestyle, having a ball with it. She was into the scene with him, but for her the novelty wore off sooner, and she went a different direction, but always had the best regard for him, a true friend
Steve is a great guitar player and of course, Billy Idol, the coolest blonde-haired singer of all time! I'm so glad you guys are still performing and from one forever blonde-haired guy to another- Thank you so much Billy, and Steve as well, for all of the great music you have given us! I am working on my own channel that I hope to have out in 2024 and I will be filming my first major motion picture based on my books that will start filming in 2025! - Ryan 1.
I could listen to you guys all day. I keep commenting on these videos, just aged like the finest of wine, beautiful! Thank you for decades of great 🎶 🎼 music….rock on Billy, rock on Steve!💜💜💜
My first job , l bought a beautiful stereo system , and l bought 2 albums to break it in with. One was Billy Idol 's White Wedding album and the other was Yes '' album with Owner Of A Lonely Heart. I am now a 59yrs. young born again Christian and last week l listened to all of Billy's stuff and I just still love him. He still has it. His voice is still great , still has the young at heart attitude , and one day l hope he and l can sing on stage in heaven for our Lord and Savior. It will be a blast . A supernatural blast !!
I was lucky to go and see him in concert in Paris end of 1990, it was after his accident and he was still using a fancy black straight cane. After the first act, we waited a bit as you do , then the lights and the atmospheric music started to do their thing for a while, indicating the concert was about to begin, but no signs of BI. There was this huge prop above the scene, a closed first, knuckles facing the crowd. Eventually, the hand started to turn upwards and slowly flipped the middle finger. The crowd went wild. Then Billy came along and what a memory of a fantastic concert!
I look back on my youth with one laughing and one crying eye. I will be 51 years old on 10.4. and I am grateful for the time I had, which I was allowed to share with others. Thank you, Billy ... You were a part of it.
The benefits of having a career based off of being a badass bad boy is that the older you get the easier it is to pull off that persona. Better than ever!
Man, who would have guessed that the two of them doing acoustic sets could be so good! I'm a fan all over again!!! Older rockers should all get into an acoustic phase if they can pull of this kind of performance
This is 's an AMAZING RENDITION live from Billy Idol so CLOSE to the RECORDING he can still sing it the same way❤❤❤❤ great GUITARIST I like it I like it I like it❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
as someone who can't play guitar I can't believe this is one guy playing, it sounds like 2 or 3 people playing guitar to me. Billy sounds like he could be at a recording studio in the 80s.
I downloaded this track before Billy had finished singing it on Jimmy Kimmel. I often appreciate the acoustic version of Billy’s songs as it allows me to appreciate the skills of Steve Stevens. A great collaboration that’s lasted forty years.
Steve Stevens is one of the best guitar players from the 80's and is criminally underrated .
So true! 💯
He's a masterclass musica and a artist
He’s right up there with Mike Michaels, Lou Louis and Rich Richards
So true, he's a guitar hero, so much talent
Absolutely 🙌🏼🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥❤️
Holy Shit, did anyone notice Steve Stevens was playing two guitar parts with the same hand?? He was picking the lead and using his ring finger from the same hand to pluck the rhythm!!! Newfound respect for that guy!
And he also plays the bass part.
every kid and their dog can play that nowadays
@@kurtdahle You must be the cat then. up to no good and starting shite.....lol
Never fails to amaze me how much these guys can play real good live music, keep on playing n thanks for the good times 🎸🎸💪💪
It's called hybrid picking 🙂
Still sounds great after all these years.. his voice has aged very well...
It’s ageless
He sounds like Trump from time to time
@@Kaledrone great, that means he is not as senile as Biden.
You have a hard on for trump, don’t you?
I think about Frank Sinatra.
@@sinaif76 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🧯🧯🧯🧯🧯
Incredible performance with just a guitar and voice. Unbelievable actually,
Steven Stevens is legendary with the guitar. He is literally playing both lead and bass(rhythm) parts at the same time. I didn't think the song would sound good with the acoustic, but only Mr. Stevens can make that happen. Absolutely mental.
i mean, how is that even possible, i feel like you need 2 guitars for it :D but im in aww who he is playing :D
Bro check out the acoustic one from 10 years ago. Much better.
I don't think I've ever seen that done 😮
There’s a lot going on in that guitar work. Carrying a melody while inserting a lead is serious skill. Awesome song. Billy sounds good as always.
Proof that real music is everlasting.
Takes me back to the 80s. He's still hitting all the notes!
Also ich finde es .....Hammer
He takes you back home, man
He s still hitting everything
Billy is back!!! Steve Stevens guitar skills are unbelievable!! He still looks and sound amazing!!! He's still got the voice, the energy and the stage presence!! Damn I love this guy!!

4 minutes and 17 seconds of some of the most underrated content on RUclips.
Two artists still at the top of their game. :)
Steve plays rhythm, lead and bass at the same time?! Cool man.
right?
He’s that guy.
Voice still strong as hell, true rock n roll rebel.
This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on RUclips, and I'm not even joking!
Killer performance ❤️

Is he strumming and plucking? Or alternating the same time? If so impressive
@@iaminkhaotic2425 its called hybrid picking
I cant believe my eyes, Billy aged physically, but his voice is solid as ever, it aged like wine.
He sounds like Donald trump lol
@@lewishawkes3924LMAO not in a bad way though
Hey Billy your voice still sounds awesome! Steve you still rocking that guitar.
After so many years, they still look like they're enjoying themselves. Great chemistry. Wish I could hit the like button thousand times over
When you can strip a song down like this and it sounds just as good as the studio version that tells you how talented these guys are.
well said
This version is fkn beautiful
@@winstonred7868 Very well said.
At their ages still great singer and guitarist.idol Billy and Steve
Amazing performance. Billy still has an incredible voice, charisma and sex appeal. I can't wait to see him next year in the UK. Go Billy ! 🖤💋💋🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd like to see you @kittyroars 🥰🥰😍
@Dan Collins. Well that wouldn't be very fair, would it ? I can't see you...🤣
@@kittyroars8758 let me know what's easiest and I'll send you a pic so you can see me.
Saw him in wolves last Monday. Love this bloke
The guitar playing is extraordinarily!
Wow! Just awesome. Nailed it! Those two go together like peanut butter and jelly! You can just tell they’ve been together a long time! Class act!😊👍🏻👍🏻🙏👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Amazing! These folks are grade A artists . Billy Idol’s voice is amazing. Sounds the same a in the 80’s ! Incredible
It blows my mind how he keeps that E string going on so tight while he arpeggiates with the other fingers! Magical! plus all those creative voicings and so much feel and rock pocket. Guitar God!
They were made for each other. His voice is still as good today as it was 30 years ago.
Just incredible Billy Idol is 66 y. o. Such energy and his voice remains fresh
Absolutely brilliant.
Hell yeah!!
I was there when Billy and Steve recorded this and there was such a special vibe in the air. Both these artists produce music from the soul.
Lucky you! This was a outstanding performance!
Wow Stevens playing lead and rhythm at the same time, just magical. Pure genius and with Billy live vocals sends chills.

They work so perfect together you can see it in they’re faces , awesome and billy still has some great vocal chops !!
Damn, he's still got it!!!
There would be no Billy Idol without Steve Stevens. Incredible talent.

I hope not on the toilet
Billy still has it..love you brother..
MyGad, these guys rock like there is no tomorrow.

One of the 80s songs I always love to play and sing ♥ Idol and Stevens put songs to a higher immortal level ♥

GOAT!🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽Heared this in my middle school back in 1984 and suddenly without a ealize now its already mid 2024! 40 years has passed!
Absolutely fantastic version. Just epic.
Amazing... No more than a guitar and a singer, just like street performers
My head is so mashed up trying to listen to both a fantastic guitar player and singer at the same time!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
What a fabulous performance! Love his voice and this song! He was one of my favourites growing up in the 80's and always will be. Thanks Billy!!!
How can this sound so good nearly forty years on? Epic talent that’s why. ❤️
Always been my favorite idol song but this blew me away 👏
I saw Billy at the height of his fame in the 80s, he is the best rock artist I have ever seen live and I’ve seen quite a few
Восхитительно! Какая музыкальность. Какая работа. Какая школа сцены. Не перестану удивляться.
Billy still has it! He's mellowed with age but he still has the power to bring the raw power forth!
Que energia!! Que música!! Que voz👏👏👏
All my young years.....I was teenage and love this gentle « bad » boy !!!! 🥰
جميل جداً يا عم بيلي و ستيفين. عزف غيتار خيالي وصوت بيلي كالسابق جميل
White wedding was the introduction of Billy Idol. Seen live in “82” !!! Steve and Billy took over the airwaves then. TurboJimbo
The face of Billy (Idol) .. 2 o 3 seconds, resume all that Steve is!!!! Respect for ever
Billy!!!
Billy, your kids & grand children can say proudly, Billy Idol is my Father / Grand Father!
That was so f...ing cool.. Billy and Steve were my favourites growing up in the 80s. They can still rock!
Saw him a few years back. He said, Hey Steve, let’s show them what a hit song sounds like. And he did.
Love this combination of Steve & Billy…As an 80’s kid I really appreciate this🤘🏼🔥
Son geniales, deben estar considerados como los máximos iconos del Rock, estan intactos, gracias Billy y steve.
I look back on my youth with one laughing and one crying eye. I will be 51 years old on 10.4. and I am grateful for the time I had, which I was allowed to share with others. Thank you, Billy ... You were a part of it.
One of best voices and songs in history,,after 35y still amazing
Wow the Voice didnt change. So nostalgic
Rock on Billy! You take me back to my youth! Great vocals!
His voice and the guitarist are both fantastic.
Sounds like donald trump
When I was young in the 80’s I never give billy a passing thought, yet today, this and eyes without a face are just awesome , his voice is excellent 👍
Bet his younger self would watch in awe of this old man!
Aint they rockers, just love them
The benefits of having a career based off of being a badass bad boy is that the older you get the easier it is to pull off that persona. Better than ever!

playing the lead and the rhythm parts at the same time, blows me away... so much talent.
Listened to this song while driving the curving highway of Liguria Italy. Awesome!!!!
Magic!!!!
Steve is a great guitarist!
It's a nice day to start again
The performance in itself is iconic no doubt ......i praise the real talent they have.....
