Billy Idol - Jump (Van Halen Cover)

[@cathallynch1]

Best line up. That drummer has more energy than Duracell batteries!

[@RobinConway]

That's Brian Tichy, if you want to know!

[@TopGun8993]

I'm an old school Van Halen fan. Very few bands could pull this off, but Billy Idol and his band DID!!!!!!! A great tribute to a great band from a great band!!!!!!!!

[@chriso8593]

Wow! That was different. Never figured he would cover Van Halen.

[@Justforfrolics]

The drummer has true Van Halen spirit!

[@kevinkiso9330]

I've been checking a lot of new and old Billy Idol out lately. I've gained a lot of respect for him. And he's a good fuckin' singer to boot.

[@ednaboopadoop]

A most genuine rock star of the highest order. There shall never be another like him.

[@gfdsa2866]

Hell' Yeah!! Even after 30 years. I STILL LOVE YOU, BILLY!!!

[@btwine2001]

its amazing how an old rocker like billy is doing a cover of van halen thats just saying how great Van Halen was!!!!

[@eddito1406]

flawless perfomance !!!!

[@Madmetalmaniac42069]

Steve Stevens rocks his own interpretation of the solo here, I dig it.

[@panchomoskera1]

stevens is an amazing musician. An icon playing a song from other icon.

[@frog382]

They all respect one another, only shallow compare them, while they get inspired by each other

[@ShockRockRecords]

Billy loves performing it, there´s a lot of energy in the tune and he did an super job. Pretty cool version to be honest.

[@heryblax]

Watch the drummer: He really enjoys playing this song! What an energy in each hit to drums and cymbals...

[@metaluna72]

Best Cover and as ever, I was wondering about the really small difference of Billys voice between studio and live..great.

[@xxYOURBIJOUxx]

For all you critics out there... I would love to see you all get on stage and do better than this! Billy is fast approaching his 60th year and I personally take my hat off to him for all his energy, charisma, and guts he has shown over the last 40 plus years. (not forgetting his addictions he managed to overcome) His longevity is a bonus to all his fans world wide, and his live performances are second to none.....

[@darlingdino]

You gotta love his stamina and vitality. And is voice is phenomenal. I don't think many people realize what an awesome artist Billy is. Love him!

[@syarbrough8510]

Brother Billy and his right hand man SS do justice to this VH classic!

[@tania547]

Van Halen would proud of you Billy! You rock!

[@MrAlienautopsy]

What a band

[@cmpvelasco3]

WOW! ALL ROCKS WHEN BILLY ROCKS!

[@edge9090]

Just stumbled on to this. Unexpected and very cool cover. Apparently Steve Stevens was one of the first guitarists David Lee Roth called when Van Halen broke up. This gives a glimpse of how well he would have done had he been available.

[@vinceruland9236]

So fitting that Steve Stevens played it on the guitar that he did. Eddie would be proud

[@janderson2000]

He butchered the solo. Horrible.

[@vinceruland9236]

+janderson2000 it was very hard to distinguish the notes for sure. Maybe just bad audio?

[@benjabooty]

Thought he did a pretty good job on it honestly

[@stuartjohnson6476]

Agreed. Solo was terrible. You could even see in his face that he was pissed with himself.

[@DerEchteBold]

Hmm... he played something different, hard to say if it was meant to be like that or not.

[@duchu14]

right person to perform this

[@RByers51]

From Punk to Main Stream, Billy and Steve can do it all. I've loved this guy since I first heard "Dancing with Myself". In 1984 I shaved my beard and had my cosmetologist wife bleach my hair to play him for a Halloween party, blew everyone away, what fun.

[@syarbrough8510]

Rt on RB! That's true musicians right there brother.

[@Myndir]

You can tell he loves the song and that's the key to why this cover works.

[@vivaelmoledeguajolot]

Billi el idolazo ...muy emocionado de ver estos magnificos de este super star y ver que los años no an hecho estragos en su persona .eres grande Billy .que vivan los 80s music.

[@devinthomas4866]

billy and steve simply awesome again

[@oatnoid]

Drummer is killin' the skins. And Steve has Eddie's branded guitar. .

[@msuvinnie]

Great cover, hats off to Steve Stevens.

[@livenloud6697]

billy smashed it... 🤘🤘👍

[@carmenhuynh2232]

My Billy idol I love you papacito,best cover from Van Halen

[@MrJorgebotello1]

hi

[@usafcop8494]

He OWNED it.

[@mttukhighintensity]

this drummer is the shit!!

[@richardkahlan9123]

FANTASTIC AWESOME COVER!

[@StefanHartslaine]

The guy is a true rock legend. Went to see him on the Charmed Life tour back in 1990 at Wembly Arena. Freakin' awesome. And I got one of the rubbers that come down with balloons :-) Unfortunately Steve was off doing his own thing then, which was a shame. His guitar playing is also legendary and it goes brilliantly with Billy's vocals.

[@nicolassosolic3655]

Oh yes he is,been a fan since my teens and can't get enough!True Charmed life and Cyberpunk were very good albums and i still enjoy it but something was missing,just the Steve Stevens magic touch. And diamond Dave back with Van Halen,i don't need anything else :) Hello from France

[@StefanHartslaine]

Hey Nicolas, greetings from Blighty. Whiplash Smile is what hooked me in to the Billy Idol sound, in particular To Be a Lover. There was another track of his I had heard some years earlier but didn't find out what it was until I started listening to his stuff. Turns out it was Dancing With Myself. Charmed Life had a bluesy feel to it, which I kinda like and Cyberpunk was way ahead of its time, I think. Billy was using computers and experimenting with new sounds and stuff to keep his music fresh. But I agree, Steve Stevens adds a certain... je ne sais quois, to use an expression from your neck of the woods. I think if Billy didn't try to keep his sound fresh, he would just be another Status Quo, in both senses of the meaning (no offence Quo fans).

[@larrystyler]

the drummer is awesome!

[@devinthomas9975]

AWESOME, Thanks Billy!!!!!

[@nurso6562]

like the drummer

[@kepenyes]

Brian Tichy

[@blackpillrising3164]

What the heck!? Awesome!

[@thezorba1]

Superb cover of a timeless classic.......

[@markkkkk1]

CLASSIC LINE.."( hey you ..! who say that..! )"

[@GreenLight2020]

Really the most exciting job : musician, singer !

[@dawnarchambeault6266]

I've been trying to get Billy into the rock hall. I think he belongs there with the others. they say they go by the era but they bouncing around. they should stop putting 90's bands in without getting the others in first. Billy has had a lot of great music and covers.

[@davidleewrath6919]

Dawn Archambeault Fuck the Hall and fuck the critics who bashed Cyberpunk.

[@izzy_6283]

I voted for him too- but RRHOF has become a joke, bands & artist who are much more deserving have not been inducted while alot of shitty ones have been (some aren't even R&R! Billy has been been eligible for over 10yrs!! Wtf?

[@reubination]

Dawn Archambeault the problem is all the people that have the power have women that have been banged hard by Billy😂

[@Vegas01973]

I never cared for this VH tune but it was interesting to hear Billy Idol sing it and great to hear Steve Stevens play as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@valle3452]

A kick-ass song with a kick-ass performer/band. One of my very fav songs ever by one of my fav singers. Hard to top that if you ask me. Cheers indeed!

[@lydonfan]

Gotta love Billy!

[@coppertone379]

Drummer kicked ass

[@vanhalen407]

Вкусно получилось !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidleeroth784]

I approve this cover! Excellent \m/

[@bigetcb9994]

wow great job the drummer is into it

[@stevenpivornik4921]

Beautifully well orchestrated. Well done Billy and band :D

[@seanfunk1]

Very faithful version considering most big stars put their own stamp on a cover. Loved it! Steve Stevens is fab and it shows you're never too old to wear black nail varnish and eye make up. He's like a turbo charged slightly younger Ronnie Wood! :-D

[@xxxkama7xxx]

I fucking love Billy and Steve! My two rock heroes.

[@tammygill1454]

I love Billy and the band!!

[@travism3633]

Best version of the song I've ever heard.

[@cristianbarrera7762]

Gran versión Billy !!!!!!!

[@resa154]

Omg, his voice is so incredible, he can sing almost everything! :) It sounds just great and it's live (in contrast to many other stars who sing playback). Go ahead Billy :)

[@haywood16]

Steve did a good job and did his own thing with the solo.

[@Muffymanila]

OMG ..I'm in love with the drummer....

[@markkkkk1]

Very Powerful Billy...!!!

[@massimotaviano3872]

Bellissima voce e arrangiamenti.

[@pmxl2004]

The drummer is Brian Tichy and the music experience of a lifetime was to meet and have a tutorial from him. Class and nice guy all the way and truly dedicated to music as a drummer, guitarist, and producer and writer.

[@grazzi67]

WOW!!! Thx for sharing this !! wouldn't be fantastic to see Van Hallen, Billy Idol, MOTORHEAD, The Cult, Motley Crue, Iron Maiden and all other rock'nroll monsters having fun with their fans in one summer for ever remembered TOUR ?? it is still very early, i need my coffee :) Cheers and Merry christmas.
