I saw an interview with Billy Idol and he made the statement that the song is not about a woman but about the USA and how much he loved the country. Even though he was born in Britain, his parents moved to New York when he was growing up before his parents moved back to Britain. He couldn't wait to move back to New York.
His voice is going. In recent live performances he’s singing some songs way out of tune (like Rebel Yell), like pretty bad. I don’t know why they don’t just drop the key down to where he can sing it.
OK I've been singing the wrong words for this song. I finally looked them up. When I read as long as it doesn't mess up his hair. I almost spit up my 🍷 almost 😆
Rebel Yell was huge, it was everywhere, it played throughout the entire 80s, no soul could escape it. Please listen to: Sweet 16 (1986) I Don't Need A Gun (1986) Mony Mony (1987) Cradle Of Love (1990) Adam In Chains (1993) and so many more gems by him. He was one of the GREATS in the 80s!!!
Bizzzzzzzz! HELL YES, REBEL YELL! You started off slow, I was worried, but Billy Idol got you smiling BIG & doing the fist bumps by the 2nd chorus! All you have to do is that arm motion & everyone knows that's Billy's move & you nailed it! 🤣 I loved seeing you do it. His songs are bangers & were meant to be remixed for dance clubs. They always built in that 32 bar bridge you heard so it could be experimented with. In this song it's where it slowed down & he sang so sexy "I walk the world or you, baby....a thousand miles, for you.....etc" Guess where they got the name? Billy & Steve had the song kinda down - the riffs, the concept... but lyrics were still not there. Billy went to a birthday party for (Tommy something...can't remember, some famous guy) and they were drinking a bottle of alcohol called "REBEL YELL". Boom! The lyrics came flowing. I'm so glad you mentioned the guitartist. Man oh man... Steve Stevens. This guy is one cool guy. The beginning bars of his solo were straight Chuck Berry. It was his nod to the greats. The weird sound in the solo that sounds like 2 electric hairdryers (for lack of a better description) is actually a toy laser gun he had collected. He co wrote a lot of Billy's music. He really knew how to put together a song that was a Billy Idol Banger. If you wanna see Steve tell you how he put Rebel Yell together I'll put the link below. Check out how cool he is. Professor of Rock is a bad ass channel for ALL music lovers. I adore the host. Next up!! Let's have some FUN!! - "Dancing With Myself" (super fun dance song! You better get outta that chair! It gets stuck in your head it's so catchy.) - "White Wedding" (amazing song but the video you might be like 😳. It's a MUST do. Classic Billy.) - "Mony Mony" (super fun dance song. If you react to it I'll tell you the secret line in the chorus EVERYONE added to the song & sang out in the clubs. 🤣)
Singer William Michael Albert Broad aka Billy Idol and Guitarist Steven Bruce Schneider aka Steve Stevens are a power songwriting and performance duo who are still active today and better than ever.
You always get to the heart of the matter. It's pretty astounding. For a person with such a limited history with music it is cool. I watch a lot if reacters and you might be the best. There is this young black guy that's chasing your ass. 😎
The guitarist held his toy sci-fi ray gun up to the guitar pickups to get those effects in the solo(never been done before). He's so underrated it's criminal.
Hahahaha yeah, the 80’s can definitely keep their styles & just let us keep most everything else!!! 😂 Another great review 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And the only other Billy Idol song I know/like is White Wedding .... I think 🤷♀️ 💞
High BIZZY, only just seen your reactions, so i am a newbee, to your tubee videos. so just to say great reaction mate to Billy Idol, great catchy song that is brilliant when seen live in a concert. There are a lot of people saying this was wrote because Billy done this and that all to do with booze, he became very famous too soon. As you do its Booze. Great Man though as you know now. Very kind Regards From GB, England, BIRMINGHAM, Peaky Blinders Country.
The 80's were more than just a decade, it was the Best time of my Life! Check out "Forgot to be a Lover" Killer piano! 🎧😎 BTW His clothes were 80's! I'd like to see you on that stage wearing what you got on!
Nothing wrong with having a little fun, especially when it's about '80's fashion, it was RIDICULOUS. I was a teen in the '80's, so I can say that!!! Spiked and/or "Big hair".... I make no excuses for it, I was part of it too! Billy though, this guy was and still is really good. You should check out, (on your own time ;) Billy and, of all people, Miley Cyrus performing this song at iHeartRadio Awards 2016.... It was surprisingly friggin good!! They both rocked it and Billy was nearly 60 years old!! He DOESN'T look it either. Anyway, IMO, you can poke fun.... just give credit where credit is due on the musical/vocal level. ***Personally, I think it's hysterical when you laugh and poke fun..... a few times, the look of torture on your face was even funnier!!!! :) Keep it real Biz!! ***Suggest: "White Wedding", "Cradle Of Love", "Mony Mony" for more Billy Idol***
Eyes Without A Face was a song about a serial killer riding a bus looking for his next victim while nobody on the bus gave him a second glance. Reputably one of the favourite songs of serial killer Richard Ramirez, also known as The Night Stalker.
I wouldn't say their clothes were ridiculous for the 80s. I'd say their hair and clothes were outrageous..... as was their music. There was a lot of freedom and wildness in the 80s. They rocked. Saw them in concert. They were fantastic.
The jacket Billy is wearing is a cut version of MJ’s jackets at that time😂 We dressed differently 40 years ago. Steve Stevens also played on the Top Gun anthem
I used to rock with this song when it first came out. I actually had a girl like that and I thought I was the MAN till I heard a female disc jocky say " you know if had did right the first time she wouldn't have needed anymore " yeah popped my balloon 😳✌️♥️
Brother Biz! Sorry I've been out of the game for a bit and missed out on a few reviews, but the scrubs said I was good, so now I'm back and playing catch up. PEACE!!!!!
Funny story ,if you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer then you know they said that Billy Idol stole his look from Spike since Spike was in the London and New York punk scene in the late 70’s /early 80’s
Hahaha, dude your reactions crack me up man. I mean, nothing wrong with a few playful jabs. Hell, I’ve heard Billy Idol himself laugh at some of the 80s stuff. During a concert, they played Cradle of Love (pretty cool song) and instead of saying “it’s easy, it’s so easy”, he was like “it’s cheesy… this song is so cheesy”. Shit was hilarious. But yeah, Rebel Yell is classic.
It was the 80’s MTV had musicians trying to out-do the other bands stupid outfits! This song is more Billy Idol’s speed. “Eyes Without A Face” was the obligatory slow song, every act had to crank out, in that era.
I like the style of the clothing in the 80s way better than what I see people wearing today . I can't stand seeing people with their pants sagging and what's up with the green and blue hair ? LOL
The 80's.. every day was special..so many new discoveries.
Love the 80's :)
Steve Stevens the guitarist played on Dirty Diana for Michael Jackson. Next for Billy Idol Flesh For Fantasy, Mony Mony or Hot In The City 🔥
This song was inspired by a night when Billy Idol was drinking with The Rolling Stones and had Rebel Yell whiskey for the first time
I just love that Billy Idol has a baby granddaughter named Poppy Rebel!
Who cannot listen to this song without doing the fist punch?
My favorite Billy Idol song! White Wedding is a must listen as well!

All I can say is...MORE MORE MORE!! Rock the Cradle of Love!
The clothing is CLASSIC 80's ROCK, like the big hair, Loud and FUN!!!!!
thats classic 80s PUNK ROCK
He's a grandfather now, but he's still got his voice, he still performs live. It's great that he survived the crazy life of the 80's.
I would have loved to end up with a Vegas gig.
His voice is going. In recent live performances he’s singing some songs way out of tune (like Rebel Yell), like pretty bad. I don’t know why they don’t just drop the key down to where he can sing it.
steve Stevens is a fantastic guitarist and a real showman, he adds so much to Billy's sound. You gotta do Mony Mony or Hot in the City for sure.
This and "Mony Mony" takes me back to being trashed in the dorms.
OK I've been singing the wrong words for this song. I finally looked them up. When I read as long as it doesn't mess up his hair. I almost spit up my 🍷 almost 😆
Rebel Yell was huge, it was everywhere, it played throughout the entire 80s, no soul could escape it.
Please listen to: Sweet 16 (1986)

Cradle Of Love (1990)
Adam In Chains (1993)
and so many more gems by him.
He was one of the GREATS in the 80s!!!
My favorite Idol song! Whole Rebel Yell album is fantastic, so many great songs you can sing to.
I recently watched some of his live acoustic performances. His voice is very powerful and he has great control of it.
Love Billy :) he's just awesome. Music back than was so fun, miss that era.
Billy Idol is fun ... occasionally dramatic, but mainly fun. 👍
Bizzzzzzzz! HELL YES, REBEL YELL!

Billy idol "FLESH FOR FANTASY" (original video) sooooo good!! My absolute favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
Singer William Michael Albert Broad aka Billy Idol and Guitarist Steven Bruce Schneider aka Steve Stevens are a power songwriting and performance duo who are still active today and better than ever.
Billy Idol and Steve Stevens really are a force of nature. 🤘🔥😎
Love me some Billy! Yum
One of my favorite reactions from you
Yeah, that's rocking it..
Buena reacción de Billy Idol, pon más de éste cantante, conocido como el chico malo del ROCK!!!
You always get to the heart of the matter. It's pretty astounding. For a person with such a limited history with music it is cool. I watch a lot if reacters and you might be the best. There is this young black guy that's chasing your ass. 😎
Ha, I saw you made that little spank move brother! A great classic '80s tune, I lived it and loved it. Great reaction as always, Rock on 🤘
In the TRUE MTV days, this was my hype “ getting ready for school” jam…
The guitarist held his toy sci-fi ray gun up to the guitar pickups to get those effects in the solo(never been done before). He's so underrated it's criminal.
Hahahaha yeah, the 80’s can definitely keep their styles & just let us keep most everything else!!! 😂 Another great review 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 And the only other Billy Idol song I know/like is White Wedding .... I think 🤷♀️

“Flesh fo fantasy “ or “White Wedding “ should be your next reaction video!
I wouldn't say their clothes were ridiculous for the 80s. I'd say their hair and clothes were outrageous..... as was their music. There was a lot of freedom and wildness in the 80s. They rocked. Saw them in concert. They were fantastic.
And that is how you do a kick ass rock video!
White Wedding next..definitely.
Billy was king of the Punk Rock genre at the time, early 80s. Ah, the days...
The jacket Billy is wearing is a cut version of MJ’s jackets at that time😂 We dressed differently 40 years ago. Steve Stevens also played on the Top Gun anthem
That's wife the one playing the keyboards she is i also every video. Brandi Modrak.
BETTER PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON FOR THIS ONE MY MUSIC LOVIN BROTHER,, LENNY KRAVITZ "ARE YOU GONNA GO MY WAY" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
His first band was Generation X (1977). They had a small hit w/ Kiss Me Deadly which many have covered. Check it out if you wish.
Guitarist is Steve Stevens. What swag.
Love you more.
This is LIT!
I love this song and he remade Mony Mony as well.
Got to do White Wedding!
I used to rock with this song when it first came out. I actually had a girl like that and I thought I was the MAN till I heard a female disc jocky say " you know if had did right the first time she wouldn't have needed anymore " yeah popped my balloon 😳✌️♥️
I miss the 80’s
Do White wedding next and funky em if they can't take a joke.
No steve Stevens was the guitarist in Dirty Diana… with MJo
He was an actual punk before he hit big. Never seemed contrived.
Brother Biz! Sorry I've been out of the game for a bit and missed out on a few reviews, but the scrubs said I was good, so now I'm back and playing catch up. PEACE!!!!!
good to have you back! Hope you are feeling well my brother.
Flesh for fantasy!
Steve Stevens is the same guitarist that’s featured on Michael Jackson’s Dirty Diana
That's why he's collecting at the 7 eleven
White Wedding is the next song you should do!
Money is just paper bro!! Be Happy not matter what you have or don’t have.
White wedding or cradle of love next 💪
try 'Sweet 16' by him it might surprise you. A great tune.
My favorite by them. On your own time check out Black Veil Brides doing this song. It's a banger too.
Funny story ,if you watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer then you know they said that Billy Idol stole his look from Spike since Spike was in the London and New York punk scene in the late 70’s /early 80’s
This tune is just so bullshitly good! Steve Stevens is rippin' it up............
Hahaha, dude your reactions crack me up man. I mean, nothing wrong with a few playful jabs. Hell, I’ve heard Billy Idol himself laugh at some of the 80s stuff. During a concert, they played Cradle of Love (pretty cool song) and instead of saying “it’s easy, it’s so easy”, he was like “it’s cheesy… this song is so cheesy”. Shit was hilarious. But yeah, Rebel Yell is classic.
I love this reaction . Michael Jackson had 2 guitaritists that joined him in songs . Eddie Van Halen and this man steve stevens did in another one
Thank you
Eddie Van Halen was the guitarist in beat it withMJ
Steve stevens was the guitarist with MJ in “dirty Diana “
Check out piano man. Totally clean look. Legend song.Not sure why nobody mentioning it. It's probably his biggest hit for real.
White wedding
America might have give us rock but the British perfected it
It was the 80’s MTV had musicians trying to out-do the other bands stupid outfits! This song is more Billy Idol’s speed. “Eyes Without A Face” was the obligatory slow song, every act had to crank out, in that era.
People get offended way too easily. It's fun to watch
Billy Idol White Wedding next
Billy Idol/White Wedding PARTS 1& 2
White Wedding
I wonder how much "hootie" was offered to Ole Billy? Bunches!
Gotta love Steve Stevens !!!!!
MO MO mooooooo
White Wedding!! more more more
Got the fist pump down Biz but you gotta work on the upper lip curl!!
😂😂😂 ill work on that
Imagine having to follow that live!!🤦🏻
White Wedding is a must.
Billy idol has a new video out called bitter taste could you react to this
why is your camera in a quarter frame per second? It surely looks like it's 15fps... when it should be 60fps...
I like the style of the clothing in the 80s way better than what I see people wearing today . I can't stand seeing people with their pants sagging and what's up with the green and blue hair ? LOL
White Wedding. Flesh For Fantasy. Crank Call.
"White Wedding "
This song is about a pimp and his call girl
Funny how a Brit is talking about a US southern girl.
NO... good luck!
White Wedding
