    I saw Billy Idol perform in Vegas a couple of years ago. What a show that I'll never forget. His voice sounds rough when he talks but when he's singing, sounds just like the 80's. And at the end of the show, he said "I just want to thank you all for making my life so f'ing great!" LOL...What a showman.

Billy Idol was the soundtrack to my teenage years. And every time I hear a Billy Idol song today, I have to stop what I'm doing, close my eyes and whisper to myself: "Yeah.......that's the stuff...." I love ya Billy. Thanks for being there when I needed you. Without Billy Idol in my life, life would suck!! Here's to 30 more years Billy, CHEERS!!

      oh, those idiots who pose as music experts who claim that EVERYBODY can't sing, these idiots usually pick the very hypest singers, the classics, like Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, and they claim NOBODY can sing, except for those people. Get a life, if he can't sing and still made a hit like Eyes without a Face, then he must be very good at worst.
