    Billy is a British rock icon from the 80's with so many great songs. Eyes without a face, White Wedding, Rock the cradle. Most notably he became a naturalized US citizen after living in and out of NY for decades. He said receiving his citizenship was one of his greatest accomplishments.

    80's Punk Rock. Billy Idol is an Icon. Other songs and videos to check out by him is the concert version of MONY MONY, EYES WITHOUT A FACE, DANCING WITH MYSELF, CRADLE OF LOVE. He's got a rabbit hole. You'll enjoy.

    An 80's rocker who was known for partying hard. He partied soo hard one time, they had to call the military to get him out of a hotel room, escort him onto a plane, strap him down, and fly him out of the country.

      I wouldn't really call Billy Idol "punk". I mean there is a touch of that, but blended heavily with new wave and rock n roll. He kind of had his own sound and style, like Elvis gone 80s.

    I got to see him live in the 80s. Came to my college. Got everyone up on a frenzy for an encore and then just walked of the stage. I was mad, but on the other hand it was inline with his personality.

    One thing about the 80s our music was diverse we had lots of sub genres inside of Blues, Rock, Pop, Punk, Country, Rap and there was lots of crossover. You could hear just about any genre on a pop station. We didn’t feel obligated to own a certain genre of music. We just appreciated good music.
    Billy idol was more punk with rock edge.

    You're right about the Elvis reference...Elvis had a distinct "crooning" style of vocal as does Billy Idol - very low pitch and sustained. A lot of rock/punk singers adapted this same crooning approach to their vocal style such as Jim Morrison of The Doors, Glenn Danzig of The Misfits/Samhain/Danzig, and Michael Paulson of Volbeat.
    To validate my statement here, you should really react to the official video by Danzig called "Mother"....I think you'd really vibe to that one!

    This type of rock is called "Punk Rock" and Billy was the king of it in the early 80's. He and his lead guitar player, Steve Stevens, are still out there rockin' it. They just don't jump around like they used to. I don't either. lol

  • @gracieb.3054
    @gracieb.3054 ปีที่แล้ว

    Prior to going solo, Billy Idol was a punk icon as he was in the punk band "X". I think that is what you are picking up on. However, he does also seem influenced by Elvis, in his low tones and his upper lip curl. His sex appeal was just as great as Elvis too! Except more raw and edgy. My brother cultivated his look for a while in his teens. I, on the other hand, love the guitarist Steve Stevens. I love that ray gun sound he makes, the all black vinyl outfit, jet black crazy hair. I got a BA in music, with major instrument being classical guitar, but I love his solo's. Steve Steven's is the embodiment of an 80's guitar god. He also did the solo in Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana". I love the solo in "Eyes without a Face", which is my favorite. Idol and Stevens complemented each other so well.

    My cousin was really into this band, She would say he is a modern version of Elvis. She so loved his curled lip smirk. His punk appeal(all the studded clothing) was popular. I even got questioned one day, by the police & my studded belt got taken away(apparently it is classed as a weapon). Was supposed to go see him, but the concert got delay by two days in Australia, as he had to go back to the UK, as no one here would dye his hair, with his required level of peroxide, to get the look he required. He has many good songs, but my favourite is White Wedding.

    Billy Idol has a cameo at the end of the wedding singer.Robbie, a wedding singer, meets Julia, a waitress, at a reception and the two hit it off. He soon learns that she is engaged to another man, who treats her like garbage, and must stop their wedding. Adam Sandler is Robbie and drew Barrymore is julia.it was made in 98 but set in the 80's that was Billy's most famous time.he was obviously older but still looked good.billy is touring at the moment and has lots of pics and videos of his new granddaughter poppy rebel his daughter bonnie blues child.

    I saw them do this in a small university club. This style saw rock shifting a bit more more towards punk. It meant the nightclub fashion of the day, for many reasons I'm sure, had us all dressed like we were vampire S&M practitioners. But I've gotta tell you, for back then, people did look f'ing cool.

    Billy was a hard core punk rock singer but he was pretty. The industry execs found him and thought the girls will love him. Sooo they turned him into a pop star.

    In the late 70's, Billy was in a Band called Generation X. That was kinda Punk. Then New Wave came along and his solo career took off just after New Wave. His image is kind of a mix between Punk, New Wave and Rock.

    This is called Punk Rock. I did a lot of clubbing and dancing to this music back in the day. Ah the good old days😎

    Billy Idol was originally going to be the T-1000 in Terminator 2. James Cameron created the character just for him, but he got hurt in a motorcycle accident and had to turn it down.

    The word you are looking for is Punk, as Billy was in a 70s Punk band called Generation x, He went solo and played rock music, but it still always had a bit of his punk vibe to it. I guess you could say his solo work was Punk Inspired rock, it wasnt true punk in the broadest sense iike his former band, but his solo music always had a punk feel to it, despite it being hard rock at its core.

    Rebel Yell was played throughout the 80s.
    It's just one of those songs that stick a liftime with you.
    Yes this dope song was used in movies it was massive back in the day.
    Rebel Yell was released by the end of 1983 but as I said a hit through the entire decade.
    Billy was one of the greats of the 80s and he had a lot of hits also into the 90s.
    You may try Sweet 16...
    Elvis...yes that was him doing Elvis absolutely!
    He was inspired by a lot of great guys.
    I love his version of L.A.Woman(The Doors).
