Man, I had just graduated high school that summer.. I remember when that album hit. It was like getting hit with a bolt of lightning, fantastic album! Big albums came out that summer, EVH 1984, ZZ Eliminator, YES 90125. It was a great time for the music scene!
Idol has always had the perfect personality of Rebel and Kindness at the same time. He always to this day still looks like a true Rock Star. Very few rockers have ever achieved that other than people like Keith Richards and Robert Plant. Most other Rock or Punk artists look bland. Idol looks like a true superstar. I'm glad to see him still look great and healthy and still doing what he loves. I remember buying his music at the record store standing in line here in New York City holding the Rock The Cradle Of Love and White Wedding albums. Good times.
An iconic legend he is!…instrumental in defining an incredible generation of music! Listening to Billy was part of the “soundtrack” of my life in the early 80’s! I was 17 when he hit MTV with White Wedding. What an amazing time to be alive! Rock on Billy! And THANK YOU!
I grew up listen to his songs... I loved him! And now, by children also listen to his songs, They aske me to paly "eyes without a face" in my car all the time :D
Respect and appreciation for Billy...Sometimes late at night I would sing REBEL YELL for my female roomy 40 years ago in LA.😅 She didn't appreciate it despite my great singing voice.
Jesus I haven't seen him in 40 years and he looks fantastic. There must have been drugs and drinking in his past but good for him he seems really present and I couldn't be happier.
Billy is one of the lucky ones which I will never understand. I was there at the height of punk and Gen X came on a little later but he somehow broke through. Sad that 100s of other punk bands never made it. I will never get why certain acts made it but others like The Ramones, DKs and PIL never broke through to the mainstream. Probably because their songs were too radical in subject matter.
how did he keep his british accent? his parents are from England (mother is Irish). when he was two years old, his parents emigrated to the USA. Has lived many years in NYC/los angeles..........
Billy is a classic English gent.Very well spoken and articulate.

NEVER. GETS OLD
Legend. He is a wonderful artist

Just saw him in Toronto. Still rocking.
Flesh for Fantasy!! He’s getting better ..so awesome in concert!! Stay awesome!!
Billy is simply fantastic.. A proper rock star and he can still do it...
I met him back stage at a concert in Ottawa, Canada, back in the 80s and we kissed… on the lips!
La chance 😮😊❤
That makes you the Downtown Julie Brown of Canada if you kissed on the lips. Good for you.
There's no one like billy idol ❤❤❤
Legend!
I can’t believe it’s been 40 years already…
I can't believe this man is still alive.
Tempus Fugit!
@@davemathews7890😂😂😂lol i know right with all the drugs and excess
@@davemathews7890Yeah, and in great shape as well. Maybe the coca is the anti aging drug.
It’s never gets old no matter what
LOVE Billy Idol - what incredible songs and voice! So much fun dance music!
Fantastic album..The title track is such a brilliant anthem. Billy nd Steve have made such awesome music together ❤
I love Billy Idol!!!❤ What an icon!
ROCK STAR! What a cool dude. Just saw the show! They nailed it. He's right. The music is timeless, and they're better than ever.
EPIC PERFORMER !
Saw him in concert. He still has that persona and high energy and has such a likeable personality
He is amazing and aged perfectly.
Brilliant album and absolute legend! 💪🤘
He's 70 years old and still looks amazing. Put guys half his age to shame
He is still 68 until November
I did the same thing. It was an astonishing compliment 🙃😎
I did the same thing. It was an astonishing compliment 🙃😎 especially when I said it to two generations of my awesome nieces
Well yeah he's 70 but most of his face is under 10 years old.
BILLY IDOL.
WHEN I WAS 17 HE WAS GREAT .
IM 57 NOW AND HES S
STILL GREAT.
ONE OF THE BEST ROCKERS THERE IS NO DOUBT!!
I’m 57 as well and have loved Billy Idol since this came out!
When I was 25 he was great. I'm 65 now and he is still great. A pioneer.
Wow, the living legend. I was born in 1992 but the 80s is the best decade of music, almost everyone that I have asked, says that as well.

So far it is looking like a Canada tour only but that remains to be seen later, For now, I'm elated to go see Billy Idol In Halifax come August!
An iconic legend he is!…instrumental in defining an incredible generation of music! Listening to Billy was part of the “soundtrack” of my life in the early 80’s!

Billy has (and is) always cranked out awesome tunes. They really are timeless. Great guitar by Steve as well.
Would love to see him again in concert; saw him when I was in college in small club.

Billy Idol is such a great artist! Thanks for visiting Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Hard to believe that album is 40 years old....even harder to believe Billy is 68!
Billy please come back and do the legends slot at Glastonbury.

Lebt noch 👍 Ich erklärs dir, wenn du auf einer Party Billy Idol spielst dann kommen die Mädels, vor allem bei unplugged 😊
Rock-punk STAR,Love His Songs
I was very surprised he speaks British english
Yep He handed in his punk notice after Generation X split.
😞
🤩
When '83 is 40 years... Now I'm sad lol
Legeeeend 💚💙🤍🥰😍🥳💜💚🤍💙💜💚🤍💙
A legend. The sneer isn't nearly as pronounced as it used to be!
Guess that's what happens with the cosmetic work that's been done 👍
Still cool
68 and still amazing as a live artist….but Steve Stevens is the lynchpin in the longevity….👍😉👌🇮🇲
I've lived my dream and not many can say that.. statement of insite
Billy is one of the lucky ones which I will never understand. I was there at the height of punk and Gen X came on a little later but he somehow broke through. Sad that 100s of other punk bands never made it. I will never get why certain acts made it but others like The Ramones, DKs and PIL never broke through to the mainstream. Probably because their songs were too radical in subject matter.
There's only one Billy Idol.
how did he keep his british accent?
his parents are from England (mother is Irish).
when he was two years old, his parents emigrated to the USA.
Has lived many years in NYC/los angeles..........
Love; Love don't live here anymore 😊
I thought it came out in 1983
He's still sexy🔥
