      This is the problem with youtube and other social sites, there are people out there always looking to screw others over ...there needs to be better security... I have other reactor channels I like to view were I have been "sent messages by the supposed creator". I always used Xtreme language when dealing with them...the algorithm really likes that.. to be honest I haven't seen it for over 2 months now. No authentic creator would do such things . And no honest subscriber would create a fake account.

    This song is special to me because one day, my dad and my youngest son had gone to the store. They pulled into the driveway and sat there blaring this song as they sang it at the top of their lungs, in pure joy. My youngest was about 8 at the time. Both he and his grampa are gone now, each from different forms of cancer, only a few years apart. So every time I hear this, I can see them sitting there singing happily - " More more more!"

    Well GenXers, we did it! He said he's "sick of rap"! Now he understands why a good portion of us can't stand it either. We grew up with the music he has STARTED to listen to in the last year. We take for granted how spoiled we were growing up in the 70's & 80's. Hip hop & rap really started to take off in the 90s and we, as a generation said "nope" and found the nearest "classic" rock station and pegged our radios to it. "Bruv", keep up your expanding horizons of music, there is still so much more out there. Well done!

      @@deborahpaley21 Obviously all the bands I grew up listening to were "boomers". But the fans were US, the Xers. Most of the boomers I knew were listening to 50s music (Do Wop, Elvis, etc.) I personally am not claiming ownership of the creation of the music, just the appreciation of it and the dollars WE spent buying it. So to quote young people "OK, Boomer". You are acting like GenZ. Don't read so much into it.

    I was at a multi-band concert YEARS AGO… but still past Idol’s prime. These concerts always have one or two “surprise guests”… and they usually aren’t great. So people would file out in droves to go smoke, go to the bathroom, etc.
    Then the announcer said: “BILLYYYY IDOLLLL”. Imagine about 8000 people, halfway out the gates ALL RUSHING TO GET BACK IN. And there he was… the hair, the lip, good ole Billy. It was awesome.

    I am 63 and was 22 when this came out -- when I first saw and heard Billy. He blew my mind. He was part of the 'second British wave" in America -- New Wave. Listen real close to his voice when he sings actual lyrics -- he has a great voice. And I do not believe anyone else can growl like him. At 63 I am still a die hard Idol fan and I still bang my head to his music. He gets this old girl's blood pumping every time. I raised my son on New Wave, hard rock and Punk. It is something we share together.

    You're right that this sounds like the essence of the 80's rock. There were great advances in keyboards at this time. Synths and sounds they could make was new. That's where the divide between pop and rock began. Keep it up!

    The Rebel Yell originated in the American Civil War. When confederate troops were ordered to attack, they would scream at the top of their lungs. It had to be terrifying in battle to hear advancing troops, sometime 50 thousand of them, screaming and running toward Union lines. There is also a rather nice bourbon whiskey by that name

  • @SimonLandmine

    Steve Stevens, the (excellent) guitarist, not only played on most of Billy's best albums, but also provided the guitar solo for Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana' and played the guitar on the 'Top Gun Anthem' from the soundtracks for Top Gun and Maverick (as well as doing a bunch of under-rated session work, and playing the guitar part for Juno Reactor's track 'Pistolero').
    When my then-girlfriend won a pair of tickets to see Billy Idol quite a few years back, she didn't understand why I was so excited that Steve Stevens was touring with him.

    Obscure fun fact. During the club scene in the early 90's... the crowd would yell in between verses of Billy Idols song Mony Mony. The lyrics went... Here she comes now saying Mony Mony. And then the crowd would yell "hey everybody get laid, get fucked" for some reason. They did it between every verse and I'm not sure why. It was bizarre and a bit immature but funny too. I can't help think of that everytime I hear Billy Idol.

      When we were someplace where we had to clean it up a bit, we’d change it to,”Hey! Hey what?! She’s fat, I’m drunk!” During the chorus we would also chant,”f’ing bullsh*t” during all the “so goods”. Yes, it was childish, but that was the 80s! It was a blast!
