His guitarist, Steve Stevens, is amazing!
Absolutely!! An insane guitar player!!
Yep! Major props to Steve!
He sure is.
The intro is genius: one guitar doing the low and high parts; flamenco style in a rock song.
Love the Black Light Syndrome Albums
"Eyes without a face" is my favorite Billy Idol song
Mine as well❤
Me too
Same, although Flesh For Fantasy is a very close second
Mine too.
Fantastic. Love Eyes Without A Face.
Consider how successful Billy Idol was, and realize there was NO ONE out there trying to copy him. No one else blended punk, metal, and synthpop so well!
Cyberpunk
The mold broke with him. One of a kind!
Billy idol wasnt really one of a kind he was a blast from the past in our present,he was true rock and roll,but driven by Elvis, Little Richard,Jerry Lee Lewis,A time forgotten ,I would place Billy Idol with the Stray cats,rock and roll with swagger,and grit.
@@craigdotson 50s Rock & Roll sounds very different to Punk, Metal and New Wave.
Amen
I admit it; I played the hell out of this cassette tape in the 80s. 🎸🎸🎸
all of us have in some form played the hell out of Billy Idol :D
ME TOO.
Same here!!! It's just damn good!! 🤘🏻
@@JenSell1626 Columbia House AND BMG LOL.
@@nikiivanov1 Guilty as charged. The piece of foam that rubs dirt off the tape actually fell off I played it so much. Never have to any other cassette I had.
This album only gets better with time. Incredible production and performance. Billy Idol is a legend... still on tour today, with Steve Stevens! "popular for a reason" 100%
Billy Idol rocked the 80ies! You gotta pump your fist in a circle and curl your lip while you sing.
That's the visual I always get when someone mentions Billy Idol.
Don't forget that Billy Idol invented the open mouth duck lips decades before chicks started doing it for selfies.
Doesn't everyone already do that? :)
@@danielm.oliver1131 I think sid vicious was first.
I'm still salty that his "Cyberpunk" record didn't took off and that it marked the beginning of the end of his career. It was a messy but brilliant and innovative record at the time and i really would've liked him to continue with his stardom power throughout the 90s. He was such a beloved original that he could've survived the impact of grunge. Come to think of it, he didn't survived that even with a very 90s record, so scratch that theory, lol.
I just saw him in concert last Saturday. I've been a fan since the early 80s and I FINALLY marked this item off my bucket list. Fantastic show and he and Steve Stevens still have it, decades after they started and into their 60s, for heaven's sake. Billy's an 80s gem and a forever favorite!
Glad you got see them finally! Been a bucket list show for me as well, wanted to see them Wednesday night but just wasn't able to make it. I've been a fan since I first heard them back in the early 80s, Billy's voice and Steve's playing hooked me from the start.
I just did the same with Depeche Mode last month and omg, they did not disappoint! (There’s lots of videos on here from the current tour, but I recommend looking up San Antonio especially; yeah, I was there, but everyone else is saying the same thing in the comments: compared to the audiences in CA, NY, etc, San Antonio had the best audience experience, everyone up dancing and singing along the whole time. Still too many damn cell phones, people too focused on recording the whole thing, not really being present and just enjoying the experience, but less so than in other US cities. European audiences don’t seem to be nearly as bad about that.) I’ll be 48 in 3 days longtime DM Devotee, but somehow never got to see them live til now, and this was the best concert I’ve ever been to, hands down. The energy level in the whole arena was insane! DM are known for their live shows and how well Dave gives such amazing energy as a frontman, really pulls the audience in and up-his energy is infectious. Even at 60-61 yrs old, they’re still absolutely killing it! If you have the opportunity to see them on their current tour, GO!!!
Hi
Hi greedings from Germany.. A local Band of my Hometown had a Cover.. 🎸😁Check it out.
:"Smoke Blow-Rebel yell, live Pumpe" :.. *a Bit more dirty.. Enjoy
Billy Idol had the best scream of the 80s. His music and voice just stay in your head. The production in Rebel Yell is some of the best.
Agreed, the production is top notch
Yeah, it's just a great song! Timeless. I think White Wedding is another banger you'd like, but this one is probably my favorite.
I love white wedding as well very much. Billy idol and George Thorogood
"Cradle of Love" is not only a banger but when the video came out it's all the guys at school talked about 😆
Yup....it's was considered controversial at the time. I'll always have a soft spot for 80s music.
Yeah..the girl was hot. 😳😏
@@FreeSpeechTH-cam Yup was a teenager in the 80's best music and movies. The fashion though not so much, lol.
@@stanleydavidlepretre4241
Same and agreed....
The Splitz.....!!
"80s is old-school future." That's just about the most accurate and succinct description of that decade I've ever heard. Perfect!!!
that's why it still sounds futuristic. the futurism was built in. that's why the weeknd can do 80s synth pop and sound current today.
I agree 100% On a somewhat related note the Tesla Cybertruck looks like what a futuristic vehicle from the 80's would look like today.
White Wedding rocks too.
Great reaction!!! Billy was actually a huge hit on MTV in the early 80s and by the middle of the 80s was selling out arenas. White Wedding, Mony Mony, Eyes Without A Face, Sweet Sixteen, Dancing With Myself, are great additions for future reactions.. And if you guys give him a shout out, maybe he'll reach out to you like some of the other bands have done to you in the past. . I know ppl who are friends with him, & they say he's a very appreciative guy. Who knows, maybe he'll bring you to his show in Vegas on Oct 20th or the 21st?
It's funny that you mentioned lasers . Steve Stevens the lead guitarist actually used a toy ray gun on the guitar in the solo to get that ray gun sound!
I remember seeing some live footage of him, all of a sudden he just whips out a ray gun off a nearby mic stand right in the middle of his solo and doesn't miss a beat. That blew my mind.
Simplicity can be easier to play, but you know what, it's not always easy to write.
I saw Smokey Robinson once say "The hardest song to write is a simple song." You encapsulated that in your own way.
Exactly! It takes immense creativity to write an easy and catchy song!
@@linda-brookethompson5345 I look at a song like Yesterday, and it's so powerful in its simplicity. A message you don't want muddied by complications, and it hits so effectively.
@@sydhamelin1265 I'm not familiar with that song. Is it by toto?
@@linda-brookethompson5345 It's by The Beatles, though Paul McCartney was the only 1 who actually performed on the song. It's become the most covered song of the Rock Era.
He's still rocking, and I've really liked some of his newer stuff. Love his song Bitter Taste that came out about a year ago.
Yes! That was a great song.
Yeah , bitter taste is great.
His new album is very good!
Loved it.
Billy Idol + Steve Stevens = fire
So true what you said about the sound of the 80s sounding futuristic. Hell ya man!!
Yeah. The 80s had so much ambition. So much hope and ambition for the future. And it reflected in music and movies.
And honestly it’s all coming back now for a reason.
Hell yeah. Song is 🔥 and I have covered it as a drummer a few times. This song slaps!
my friend likes to cover this live and he always brings as much of the crowd on stage to sing a long
You play, I’ll sing
Its not the same without the video 😂 if you know you know.
Yeah I always liked Billy Idol. He was definitely a staple for any 80's soundtrack
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE type in "Professor of Rock Rebel Yell" & watch it. Steve Stepehens (guitar) tells the story of where they got the idea for Rebel Yell & creating it. You won't be sorry! FYI - you mentioned laser - guess what - Steve used a toy laser gun.
Ohhh, One more thing, the Guitar player/soloist is none other than the great Steve Stevens who was the cat that played the lead guitar part on the Top Gun Theme.
If they haven't, they've gotta listen to that song. Steve is the MAN!
Quick heads up guys, in the title card at the end of your intro, your insta handle is misspelled, it says def instead of deaf
Good catch
As a Billy Idol impersonator for the last 30+ years, I feel you did a great job here and paid a lot of RESPECT to him and his artistic abilities. He’s still rocking today. Thanks guys and keep up the great work. I want to hear more, more, more!
Billy idol was originally asked to record “Don’t You Forget About Me”, but Simple Minds ended up with it. It was their biggest hit and upset the band because they didn’t write it and didn’t much like it. Billy did eventually record it so it’s available to listen to.
His version actually is better imo. 😅 You can tell it was written for him
So much more to discover with Billy. Mony Mony, Hot in the City, Got to be a lover, White Wedding, even his slower stuff like Eyes without a Face and Sweet Sixteen are well worth a listen. And Steve Stevens guitar work, amazing.
The LIVE version of Mony Mony is excellent. And Blue Highway has a jam at the end that's pure class. Not '80's shred, but top notch blues rock guitar. Love it.
Yes!!!!!!!! Stevie Stevens on guitar is a BEAST!!!!!!!!
In an interview, Kiefer Sutherland admitted he got his inspiration for his look in The Lost Boys from Billy Idol.
I think you'd like White Wedding as well and Eyes Without A Face is his ballad with a cool experimental style video.
One of the songs of his that was a staple at highschool dances at the time was Mony, Money.
George, I don't advise listening to Rebel Yell while driving. It's one of those tunes that can get you a speeding ticket (you can probably guess how I know that. 😂)
Thank God I grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Two great decades for music and culture!
Steve Stevens is the guitar player and one of the best the 80’s produced. He’s still out there shredding.
"80s is old-school future." Yes, it was just like this. Absolutely perfect description.
Congratulations!
That was hilarious 😂
NOBODY DISRESPECTS BILLY IDOL!!!!!!
Synths did NOT Suck in the 70s: Keith Emerson, Richard Wright, Rick Wakeman and others used the Instrument to explore and color their music in the best prog rock ever. Very different application than some 80s tunes. But no matter the obvious 80s sound, Billy Idol was dope, he killed it back in the day. 🎵🎹🎤🎸🎶
You gotta do ""eyes without a face" by him
Eyes Without a Face!!
The thing with 80’s sounds, especially the early 80’s, these keyboards were new ideas and sounds. Everyone was being creative with these sounds. Programmed sounds were being used as music. It was a Wild West frontier so to speak. Everything you hear in the 90’s, 00’s, and beyond started with these 80’s pioneers with something new and not knowing what the potentials were yet. As a rock guy most of us didn’t like it even back then, but a few people, like Billy Idol was pretty genius at blending the two genres.
You wouldn’t be accurate if you had an 80s themed party and there was no billy. Seriously he was the early 80s- he was every where!
Eyes Without a Face for a mellowed out Billy.
Another hit from this album is Flesh For Fantasy.
Deep cuts include Blue Highway, Daytime Drama, and Do Not Stand In The Shadows.
Billy Idol was and still is amazing. He's got a host of songs that are incredible in variety of styles. And his signature look has inspired mimicry from many.
You gotta see thhe video! it gives you a full vision of this song and Billy's personality!
I'm 53 and I still rock the shit out of the 80's rock, metal and rap. The 80's was the best time of my teenage life. And I was also introduced to a bottle of Rebel Yell at a party when I first heard this song back then..... 🤪🙃🤘😎🤘
Billy is one of the most charismatic rock stars alive. One of the G.O.A.T.s
I find it weird when people dismiss 80s music as a whole. The 80s brought us Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, U2, INXS, to name just a few. It was also the bridge to todays EDM. :) Epic era in music! EPIC!!!
Steve Stevens is an underrated genius on guitar.
Incredibly underrated guitarist
"Eyes Without a Face" is one of his best. "Flesh For Fantasy" is also excellent.
Billy's cover of Mony Mony (Tommy James and the Shondells) is my fave...
Love this song, it's my go to at karaoke.
I like that you call him a "Rock Star" since he's in that commercial about normal people using the phrase "Rock Star" for each other. White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, Dancing With Myself, Catch My Fall, Hot in the City,, To Be a Lover, Cradle of Love and his remake of Mony Mony.
This fifty-something broad loves BI's music, and the musicianship surrounding him. He'll be here in Denver in April - just a heads up, in cases folks are wanting to catch him, check his tour dates.
Would love to see you guys do some Fuel. Hemorrhage In My Hands is one of the greatest rock songs ever. Playlist material!!! Many many other great songs. Love the channel!!
Fuel were great! Rocking, catchy and made many great tunes!
Down On Me!
Hot in the City and cradle of Love
He does a great cover of Van Halen's Jump!his early stuff before he was wide spread popular and in a band was more punk rock. This song stil sounds fun today to some od ears.This video was hot by the way...try white wedding... he wrote it for his sister.
Did not know this…
After years of watching y'all and gone to another account, I finally gave in to patreon. This is fun. You guys my first patreon membership ever.
Billy Idol is the shit. This is considered New Wave. I would love you guys to hit some more New Wave bands. Missing Persons - "Words" is a killer New wave track that you will love.
I think they would LOVE that song. I think they would especially love Dale's vocals....
Walking in L.A!
Hell yeah, this song just rules! I am totally with you George. I love this stuff too. You were right on about the laser sounds too. During the guitar solo, Steve Stevens literally shot a toy ray gun into his pickups for that crazy lazer sound.
another Billy to listen too, Billy Squier. "Don't say no" great album
The term you are looking for is also a genre of Cyberpunk called "Cassette Futurism" - what the future was imagined to be back in the 80's.
Love this song . Billy Idol was so f"*king cool back then it was unreal. Watch the video sometime It was a blast .
If you want some amazing 80's synth, Duran Duran, Nick Rhodes pioneered alot of tech and sound design, Blue Silver is a cult favorite but Save a Prayer is a great example too
George giving the facts and lessons here! Now here’s my small critique… Please bring back that little intro y’all used to have, I miss it.
Interesting you mentioned it makes you want to ride a motorcycle. Billy Idol had a serious motorcycle crash in 1990, right before his role in the movie "The Doors". In fact, in the movie, he's walking around w/ a cane, due to his accident.
His autobiography "Dancing with Myself" is a wild ride. A rock star life, indeed!
Super fun reaction as always. Thank you both.
Steve Stevens plays guitar on Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana.
George please feel free ro like what you wish. Its music, its like food subjevtive to taste. Also Spike from Buffy Vampire Slayers look was taken from Billy. Your guys enjoyment brings a smile to my face.
'Blue Highway' from 'Rebel Yell' doesn't get mentioned enough, IMHO. That's my go-to song from Billy Idol!!
Mine as well - Blue Highway is a party starter!
Steve Stevens played on Michael Jackson’s Dirty Diana.
As someone who started to get into music listening in the 90's the first version I heard of this song was the cover by Scooter. The original is way better ofc.
Got to do Scream! Scream by Billy Idol is a 💣
Who are all these people that hate on 80’s music?!? I’m a late 80’s baby but I absolutely love 80’s music! A lot of it is some of my all time favorite music 🤘
This song is the perfect song to dance, headbang and make funny faces while singing (at the same time) 😂😅... and yeah... the synths are cool as hell.
I love 80s synth! Signed, Gen Xer. White wedding I think was his breakthrough hit in most of our minds but this is gritty!
I just saw Billy idol again last month and both he and Steve Stevens still ROCK! I would add that Steve Stevens is such an underrated guitar player. He deserves more shine for sure.
Seen him in concert. He sounds the same on stage as in studio. Awesome production.
Billy Idol - Rock the Cradle of Love (official video)
The production and mixing of this is superb. All Idol's songs are superbly produced. The sound is fantastic.
Wait... You guys just uploaded this.... How did people comment on it 3 months ago 😵💫😵💫😵💫
"The 80s is like what we thought the future would sound like." That's exactly what was going on. It was the decade the whole world agreed that the future was now. Haha
I actually saw Billy Idol live in 1986 (?) during his White Wedding Day tour. He is way harder live, and it was a great concert.
I am so envious, ha.
I really want to go find a live version of this now. Also, back in the Army reserves, the joke was "you're so idle they should call you Billy" so funny that is actually where he got it from.
Billy's duet with Miley Cyrus from her plastic hearts album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
if you ok with mediocre , tone deaf , hollywood scum. Billy didnt want to do it. he talks about it.
In response to mark 4:50 of the video: The killer kick started the bike over a few times with the ignition switch off waiting for the smell of oil to waft into the air. Satisfied the engine was primed, he switched the ignition on, kicked, and gave the beast gas as it came to life. As the engine rumbled, he pulled up his play list, found Rebel Yell by Billy Idol and pressed play then pause. The Mojave Desert stretched miles and miles in from of him, but out there, in the arid bleakness, was a new George. A George who wanted more, more, more….
One of the things people need to realize In terms of 'underground' music..the whole reason it's called 'The Big Four' of thrash is because that's basically the only bands that were left when most of the people who listened to those same bands moved on to the more 'extreme' stuff that was coming out at the time and by which point those four bands were already moving into to mainstream (By CHOICE I might add). But In terms of the underground, things only starting getting faster, more technical, more challenging and we all ate It up as there was a hunger for It. Morbid Angel's 'Altars of Madness' was a game changer when It released and basically single-handedly ended the entire genre of Thrash In a single day since there was simply no way for those thrash bands to complete with all these new dynamic bands that were popping up everywhere. There was still the odd Thrash band no doubt but mostly everyone moved on. It's just kind of unfortunate you can't get past your distaste for more extreme or 'harsh' vocals cause you're missing an extremely (and perhaps the 'most') important chapter In the story of metal which If you were really on the path of 'discovery' you'd be more willing to explore in your "Metal Journey." Not all art is meant to be 'palatable to the masses' ... It Is also meant to Invoke an emotional response and challenge you as well.
THIS IS TIMLESS CLASSIC,MAN its fire
Fun fact: The Cult opened for BIlly Idol on his Whiplash Smile tour in 1987 and they were both phenomenal. You gotta hit The Cult's "Love Removal Machine" for another classic banger
Saw them on that tour in Lakeland, FL and they filmed the video for 'Mony Mony' that night. Amazing show...
my mom and I would drive to colorado for vacation, this is one of the tapes we had in the car that I listened to the whole way. I prob drove my mom nuts.
I've never been the biggest fan of synth-heavy music, but I really enjoy the build up of that sound around the 13 minute mark during that brief slowdown in the song. I would say a breakdown, but that term makes me think more of metal and a bunch of dudes moshing while a guitarist lays down a heavy riff.
Fabulous track, it's so enjoyable 😊. Great review. Thanks so much for this.
George has a good voice. He sneaks it in once in a while. I bet he has perfect pitch and doesn’t know it.
Billy is the real shit, but Billy's guitarist, Steve Stevens, is a household name by himself as well. He played on Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" as well as on the instrumental main theme from Top Gun. Both true 80s icons.
Would love to see a “post-hardcore” marathon with bands like The Used, Story of the Year, Silverstein, Thrice, and the OGs - Refused. You guys gotta do “New Noise” by them. An absolute trend-setting moment
Billy Idol is what I imagine Elvis Presley music would sound like if he was a 80's artist
His album Cyberpunk was way ahead of its time, but different enough from his typical style in the early 90’s that it didn’t really chart or sell well. Still love it and listen to it regularly 30 years later.
Shock to the System is an absolute banger.
Loved Shock To The System, great song to workout with. I think that album would have been better received if it was released later once that sound became more accepted.
I knew you guys would love it. As y'all said, it has all the elements, and Billy was born to be a Rock Star. Now please do "White Wedding (Parts I & II)," "Dancing With Myself," "Eyes Without A Face," "Flesh For Fantasy" and his *incredible* cover of "Mony, Mony" originally done by Tommy James and The Shondells in 1965. You will most definitely NOT be disappointed.
Billy is that rare breed: Just commercial enough for the masses, he definitely drew the girls in, but all the rocker dudes respected him. Because of his kick ass guitarist Steve Stevens he even incorporates some Heavy Metal in some of his songs, like this one and "Eyes Without A Face," so the vast majority of the Metal community also loves Billy. He's just an all-around star. Definitely an idol, and in the best ways possible. 🤘🏻
This song without Steve Stevens would not be the same. He added the barbed wire to the sound of Billy Idol’s music.
Haha... how the hell did this slip through the cracks to get a reaction? Can't say you guys aren't covering a lot of bases!
Rebel Yell bourbon , Billy went out drinking with the Stones early on and they passed him the bottle of one of their favorite bourbons. Billy said a song was born when he saw the label... pays to drink with royalty.
You're the ONLY music reaction show I continuously watch. I've heard 90% of the songs you react to but you react how I've done majority of the time. It's awesome to see others seeing shit from another direction reacting similarly. Another sign music is universal. Love it.
Guitarist Steve Stevens is a big part of Billy's sound.
You should watch this one with the video. It's showing them onstage but it's the official video. You need to see Billy and Steve Stevens' performances and charisma for yourself. The 80s were very visual, everything like style and performances were very expressive, needs to be seen!
This was considered “new wave” but it was popular with just about everyone
