Indeed both are legends. But it is not true that they stuck with each other all those years. There is a huge gap of 15 years between Whiplash Smile and Storytellers. In these 15 years several BI albums were recorded without Steve Stevens, who worked with Vince Neil, Atomic Playboys and others in the meantime.

Yep he effortlessly even noted out the main tune on his guitar for Billy without it looking clumsy. Cool guitarist..good suggestion also that it may well have been the earpiece giving him a strange key..a friend of mine had trouble with earpieces and literally couldnt hear his own vocal..he has since gone back to wedges.

[@michaelyatsco1958]

@@cliveedwards2958 True Steve Stevens he probably can play it with his eyes closed and one hand tied behind his back considering he wrote the song and pretty much co wrote or wrote all of Billy Idol's hits they have been a team since the 80's. All the legendary Idol riffs are his.

@@JayHarrisGuitarLessons 100 percent correct it's a complete nightmare for singers when it happens best thing to do is stop the song. Even Adele sounded way out of sorts that year at the Grammys the earpiece was shot. I don't sing but I do record talking through a microphone and I remember when I first started on Audacity and my latency was off by a fraction of a second when I tried to listen to myself even that millisecond delay hearing myself in the headphones totally threw me off couldn't talk straight til i fixed it.

[@eldridge201]

@@fourseasons4105 and I'm betting many people could think of 20 "modern singers" that can't sing or perform worth a crap and Billy definitely is better than them. Billy isn't perfect or the greatest out there by any means but he's pretty good for the most part. If you haven't listened to Billy sing this song live other than this video, then I think you have to at least give him a different change and go and listen to him sing this song from other videos. Even some other ones as recent as a few months ago or 2 or 3 years or 7 to 10 years ago still sound very good. If you don't like this "version" of this song, I understand that because personally, I don't like that he's changed the song to sound a little different from about 15 years ago and they did a more acoustic part to it with him singing the beginning of the verses in a lower tone. That part I get if you don't like it because I don't like it either. But, you can't say that he can't sing very well if you've listened to other performances because for the most part, he does very well. Again, not "perfect" but he's pretty good. And back to the point, he does sing a lot better than many singers that have come out over the last few decades. And, of course, there have been some very good singers that have come out during that time as well. The thing is, multiple things can be true at the same time in this situation and I feel that's what's going on here. But, in fairness, I don't think anyone has ever regarded Billy Idol as "one of the best singers" in the world to begin with. And Billy seems like a humble enough person that he himself probably knows that he's not the best singer out there. But considering his age and how many times he's performed over the years, he's doing a very good job of keeping his voice on point.

[@cubistone]

Billy did ok. It's the stage sound that tripped him up. He couldn't hear himself on his stage monitor. You wouldn't be able to hit it right when you couldn't hear yourself. You'd try to estimate where the note was but you'd miss it.

[@maebliss344]

I’ve been in exactly that position and was amazed that it turned out almost perfect…but that is hard enough in your 30s, but pushing 70, muscle memory is affected.

Billy Idol, I love you! You are the coolest ever! ❤❤ You got this! We support you as your fans! Your band is amazing too working with you, no one is perfect and like you said, theres always another chance in rock and roll! ❤❤

Total pro, struggles at times with the best of them, and with all that sophisticated electronics and sound productions as part of the show, who knows what he was actually struggling with. I love his Bitter Taste tune.....rock and roll legend.

[@r.a.fiallos234]

He owned it and persevered. Respect! 🤘💪

[@MichaelColeman2]

One of the best voices in rock.

[@gmantramp404]

A long long time ago 🤘🤘

[@MurphyKargesBass]

So brave and rad for being like that. Showing that side, not just faking it and lying to the crowd.

[@JPM777]

Sounds better than all the reggeton singers without their autotune. Idol and Stevens are legends.

[@gmantramp404]

Yeah rite 😂😂😂

[@tholt946]

Wow. Not one negative comment..amazing

[@briansherman823]

I used to love this live "down key" version of this song. This just makes me sad.

[@SAMMYJR00777]

man he sounds great i just saw him.. this is technical etc something is off thats why. watch his latests concerts he kills it all each time.

[@jenny2tone242]

I saw him a few weeks ago. Sounded perfectly fine and in tune.

[@thelolguy007]

And that right there is a real singer guys. A real musician. A real person. No backing tracks or lip synching here. Fair play Billy 👏

[@davidellismartin9619]

Seems he’s sung it perfectly since this. Maybe there was inadvertently a tuning effect in his in-ear monitor which threw him off.

Everyone hits a clam every now again… Even Sinatra from time to time…Still have mad love and respect for Billy and Steve Stevens…Prob My favorite Billy idol Song.
