Billy had made it known that he was a big Elvis fan. From the lip curl, to the hair, and vibrato, all Elvis inspired.

If you like great voices and music with Attitude you`ve got to react to "Poundcake" by Van Halen.. just saying.. :D

Everyone wished they could be as cool as Billy Idol back in the 80's.

[@savage_skirt5386]

...and all that natural sexiness

The definition of a rock star (not the only one of course) but yeah, he invented himself.

That's fuckin facts

[@darkkhalwb]

Everyone still wishes they could be as cool as Billy Idol back in the 80's.

[@AshSolarion]

True that 😂

[@jamierobson8825]

Ahhh yes, Billy. Great reaction. For something completely different, try “Eyes Without a Face” awesome track that shows his versatility as an artist. For another banger, our favourite 80s dance track was (of course) “Dancin’ With Myself”.

[@fox2.fox2]

eyes without a face is so good

[@jeffstevens4262]

...and don't forget 'White Wedding' !

The guitarist is Steve Stevens, he also wrote and played the theme tune for the Top Gun film, and also worked with other artists on various songs, e.g., Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana

[@vicprovost2561]

Steve Stevens live was off the chain!

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Negative Ghost Rider - Harold Faltermeyer wrote the song. He asked Stevens to come on board and record the guitar tracks.

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Did a fantastic album with Motley Crue vocalist Vince Neil called 'Exposed'. He was incredible on that one.

[@ronaldstokes4841]

That machine gun riff at 4:49 is uniquely his.

[@richiem1321]

damn'i never knew that🫶

[@lindarockower6028]

Saw Billy Idol perform live back then. Such a powerful, versatile vocalist. He can go from screaming to the smoothest croon in milliseconds. He had so much fun up there on stage! Born to perform.

[@PitBullPlaysGames]

Saw Billy Idol live for a man his age he still ROCKS and his voice is still amazing

[@mattmorrow7777]

Bar closing song

[@vasiliarkhipov2121]

I never understood as a teen in the late 90s why all the older generation hated the Grunge era of Rock. As I got older I realized their version of Rock & Roll was happy and sexy and fun. 70s and 80s Rock was just a blast. Everyone was just partying their asses off. So to them Grunge turned the party into a funeral. It made the music sad and serious. As a teen I thought they were just old and cranky and just couldn't adapt, but the more I listen to 70s and 80s Rock the more I see their point.

[@charliemac64]

"I came to see a show, dammit, not get bummed out!!!"😂😂😂

[@up0820]

The problem with grunge is it all started sounding the same, then the fact that it completely killed rock in the mainstream and now we have Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, plus the mush mouth or overly computer generated crap hop.

[@alexeilindes7507]

It was real. All b4 was synthetics in reality. And Most importantly. It was punk

[@supobostarman]

I was a late boomer who felt what you said about grunge exactly. All it did was bring me down from a three decade high. It was Whiny...just to be whiny. Me? I prefer ass kicking fun! So give me my 60s, 70s and 80s and stop!

[@vaportrails7943]

All the partying Boomers did wrecked the lives of a lot of kids who came after them, and grunge was a consequence of that. But I agree, it sucks, and nobody wants to listen to it because it’s so depressing. It just makes things worse. And when you look at the way most of the singers of grunge bands ended up, it gets too real. I can’t listen to it.

[@ThunderAngel27]

A good way to describe Billy Idol's music is 'Punk Elvis'

[@HvyMetal4Ever]

I never thought about it like that. But you know, that's pretty damn accurate.

[@TheCodyv1971]

Mony Mony (live 1987) is his best live performance.

[@jameswormington9978]

" Sweet Sixteen " is a beautiful song as is " Eyes Without A Face " ... dude's voice hits your heart !

[@robrichards8074]

Billy Idol was the poster boy for what an 80's Rockstar should look like. The guitarist is Steve Stevens and his wild guitar style complimented Billy's stage presents. Stevens also performed the guitar theme of the original "Top Gun" movie.

[@d112cons]

THANK YOU. It was obvious that Billy Idol was the alpha of the thing, but Steve Stevens absolutely was the core of the sound. He's gone unnoticed for a long time because of how Billy (rightfully so) is the focus of the mix, but if you listen for it, Stevens is doing incredible work all over the track.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

Wrong - Harold wrote the song and asked Stevens to come play the guitar tracks.

[@robrichards8074]

@@Swordsfor200Alex You are right, I have corrected my post.

[@BlazingDrag00n]

Gosh, i love this song. So much energy.

[@Duct_Tape.]

At a time when MTV was pretty much only playing New Wave stuff, this went hard af, and opened the door for a lot of the heavier stuff like Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. Steve Stevens is legendary. This song in particular holds up in every way 40 years later, and I still turn it up every time it comes on.

[@gregorykenfield3134]

This video completely changed the way many people looked at Billy Idol's back up band. They went from "Billy Idol" to "Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens." Steve would eventually go solo with his own band, called "Steve Stevens and the Atomic Playboys."

[@crispy_338]

What a name 😂

[@Easy_Skanking]

Atomic Playboys was really good. Steve also did an interesting experimental project called BLS. It stands for Bozzio, Levin, Stevens. Terry Bozzio, the drumming legend and Tony Levin, the bass and Chapman stick legend. The album was called "BLS" for Black Light Syndrome. 😁

[@caphowdy666]

Oh Ray Ray, this was the 80s, we didn't have breakdowns, we had solo's.

[@scirasco1]

Haha thats right giiiiiiiiitaaaaaaar soooooooooloooooos

[@alexthorpe6583]

He's got a very 80's look, here, but I feel that his voice and his music are pretty timeless. Other songs: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face. He had an early 90's hit with Rock the Cradle of Love, which had a rather steamy video.

[@jamescurfman3284]

He's timeless because he absolutely made himself un-forgettable 100% of the time. Born performer, even when playing himself. lol

[@AmazingSheep]

Flesh for fantasy! So good.

[@Darkstar72SR]

He’s got an acoustic version of this that kills, too

[@LeeSurber]

I can remember the debut of White Wedding on MTV..!! Everyone became instant Billy Idol fans..!! The extended dance tracks that he released would keep the party pumping,, that's for sure..!! In the 90's I started competing in car audio and used "Eyes Without A Face" as a system reference for clean bottom end..!! An absolute MUST listen with some high powered 15" subs..!!

[@xxmrbrooksxx]

Billy Idol is an amazing singer. His voice is awesome and he's a great performer. Stage presence. He'd be the perfect front man for any band.

[@ChrisHaar]

This was an amazing in music history time to live. I was a teenager when this was on the radio.

Classic 80's Idol! The Vocals, Outfits and Swag is Off the Charts. Like the Outfit and Makeup on Judi Dozier on Keyboards. The Stage, Smoke and Crowd makes it Epic.

[@fabiorobertonascimento8370]

I've been listening to Billy Idol since the 80s, his songs are really cool, I really like the band's guitarist, Steve Stevens, as Steve was one of the composers of the theme song for the 1986 movie Top Gun - Top Gun Anthem

[@BuckInchuteranch1]

Billy Idol live was great, got to see him on the tour following his motorcycle accident so he walked around with a cane. Still an amazing performance and Faith No More opened for him at Concord Pavilion here in NorCal.

2004...My mother started exercising again when she got the news about her non alcoholic liver disease...made her a mixtape which had this song on it She told me this was her favorite song on that run We're old now, and this song still lives on

[@thisisscorpio6024]

Eyes Without a Face and Blue Highway are a couple of my favorites by Billy idol.

[@chasingbirds3073]

Seriously one of the most rockin' tunes that came out of the 80's.

[@kadoom8843]

Steve Steven’s is an underrated legend. Total shredder.

[@MarcKiella]

I wish I could hit the like button a million times. This and Mony Mony always gets me pumped up! I remember that sellers of illicit "products" used names of his songs for certain things. Rebel Yell was code for an opioid product and etc.

[@saviourself687]

Sweet Sixteen is one of the most soulful love songs performed by Billy Idol based on a true story. If you want an outstanding metal song with the former and current lead singers of a band included, Signal Fire by Killswitch Engage. ;)

[@saucyempress9803]

He has so many great songs. Dancing with myself , rock the cradle, mony mony, got to be a lover, hot in the city He even has some new ones that im really enjoying . Rebel like you , running from the ghost and bitter taste ❤

[@phila3884]

THE definitive Billy Idol song- "White Wedding". Not his best? but really really good and put him on the map... next reaction please.

[@darrenl3289]

The iconic red vest, the best sneer in rock since Elvis. An underrated voice. A friend and I got to see him in a small venue concert in Vegas in 2017. It was in a House of Blues, so we're all surrounding the center stage, only 20 or 30 feet from him. I swear he looked in better shape then than in the 80s. Dude was shredded, an energetic powerhouse and put on a 2 hour performance of hit after hit from his entire career. Two of his (in my opinion) best songs are often overlooked, Cradle of Love and Eyes Without a Face.

[@adrianhughes8143]

Billy Idol had the most incredible and iconic singing voice to come from here in England with the legendary Freddie Mercury. Billy Idol is a Londoner who was born in London just like me. Billy Idol also starred in some British films and was a very good actor as well but his singing voice is just amazing and iconic. He was one of my favourite singers in the 80's and he came out with some incredible songs such as Rebel Yell, White Wedding and so on. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

You MUST listen to the cover of this song by the band named HIM. They are from Finland, and you're gonna love the singer's voice. There are a lot of song by them you'll love, his voice is so deep 💪🏻⚡🔥

[@BrianSFischer]

Being a teenager in the 80's was amazing

[@DonMegaphone]

I had Billy's hairstyle. It was a lot of upkeep.

[@thomasgorman9615]

Such a great party song, workout or driving in your car song, Billy Idol just gets you in a mood.

[@dmwalker24]

The guitar work on this track is wild. Just the underlying riffs are fantastic. The way they support the vocal line, and drive the song forward. The solo isn't the flashiest thing in the world, but my god it's perfect for the song.

[@cynetr7431]

One of my favorite characters bases his whole look off of Billy & every time I see either one, I can’t help but think of the other and laugh a little bit 😂

[@Pterodactylus548]

Billy Idol - Hot in The City. Though I don't believe that there's hot soon... White Wedding, Eyes Without Face, Dancing With My Self And sprinkles on the cupcake: Money, Money

[@lokelanikaauwai2861]

THIS song is in my top five. It's my favorite steering-wheel-thumping-singing-at-the-top-of-my-lungs song!! 😊

[@peterworth9403]

Billy STILL has an amazing voice, and all that energy and attitude. A song that that you might not see a lot of recommendations for because of the album it came from, "Shock to the System." That song will have you moving all over the place. I've always likened Billy to a cross between Sinatra, Elvis, and the entirety of the punk attitude alll stuffed into one man. When he does a ballad, he will MELT you. When he does high energ songs, you are GOING to be moving. And Billy and Steve Stevens (the guitarist) have been together their who career almost. You should check out some of his newer stuff. "Save Me Now, "One Breath Away," "Cage" just came out a couple of years ago and it's an absolute banger, and "Bitter Taste" is a one that just came out. That one is about his motorcycle accident that really messed him up back when the video for "Cradle of Love" was released. It's why he's only shown mostly neck up on a tv screen.

[@NicholasCorvin]

*"CYBERPUNK" is totally underrated...*

[@buckschsuperstar8357]

Did you ever see Blind Guardian? They have an extremely loyal fan base with an outstanding vocalist. Valhalla or The Bards Song are all time classics (live version is always best)

[@sascharuthsch831]

I loved his music when I was a kid back in '83...and I still enjoy it with now 49 yrs. Btw Steve Stevens played guitar on Michael Jackson' s Dirty Diana. 😉

Billy Idol is like good wallpaper: he sticks around. He did some stuff with Miley Cyrus a few years ago - 168 years old and in unbelievable shape.

Legend of my teenage years. Love Billy Idol

[@Monsterdrumma]

I met Billy seen him in line for tickets to a movie on Hollywood blvd. and I was low key but I just said Billy man I am a huge fan and he left the line and jumped up and down pumping his fist just like here saying fuck yeah rock on rock n roll jumping up and down all the way to the theater entrance like twenty feet back. That was the greatest response I have ever gotten from a famous person and it was sincere like you said he gets so in to it well just a comment made him that excited like a kid in a candy store it was awesome! He loves what he does and you feel it and I also met Steve Stevens the guitarist and he also noticed me air guitarist in the crowd and called me out afterward and was saying the same type of stuff with an F word every other word but he thought I was awesome so my point is Billy and Steve were the two coolest people like ever!

[@jaredr4907]

My ma is 57 and this is her all time favorite singer and has seen him more than 10 times throughout the 80's to current years.

[@thatpatrickguy3446]

Great reaction to a great classic of my youth! The entire Rebel Yell album is amazing, and it has several great tonal shifts from song to song in the album. Such awesome songs! Blue Highways is my favorite song no one knows off of that album, though I tend to speed -a bit- excessively when it is on. 😀

[@latinboy906]

"Dancing with Myself" is another one with great energy and cool guitar parts.

White Wedding is a great Billy Idol track.

Hi, i just was passing by but see your expressions make me laugh. Rebel yell is a amazing song.

This guitar solo (4:40) is so fire. That "laser" effect (4:52) is my favorite bit.

[@beckystarrski]

As a little kid, my brother (7yr my SR,) & his friends would be watching MTV in his room all the time. I remember 1st hearing this. Myself & my friends at my house for my bday sleepover. We ❤️ed it! So the next day a group of us kids were yelling ..With a Rebel Yell, we cry more, more, more, in the midnight, more, more, more! 😂 Butchering the lyrics. However the fact that a bunch of us little girls were singing them (lyrics)was hilarious & scary at the same time! My brother yelled (no pun intended..) at all of us, saying don’t you ever let me hear you singing that song again! Oh the awesome 80’s, being a little kiddo was cool. However I wish I could have lived the 80’s as a teenager -adulthood! It 👀 too fun. The 90’s were amazing though. Great reaction btw! 👍 I really love your critique. ✌️

This is one of those that demands you turn up the volume. Also, that Billy Idol? THAT'S a rock star! Obviously he worked at his image and his performance since he was part of the surprisingly small original Punk subculture at the Roxy in London in 1977, but if anyone was ever born to be a rock star, he was.

[@tarascholfield5887]

I'm glad u like Billy idol! I grew up listening to him since i was 4, and I'm 41 now. He is awesome and still touring, he has new music out too btw! The album kings and queens of the underground is really good and he did 2 different lp's recently i forget both of their names. This music video for rebel yell was a live performace done in nj. I recommend from his music do reactions to dancing with myself, eyes without a face, cradle of love, to be a lover, hot in the city, white wedding and the live music video of mony mony. The self titled album billy idol, rebel yell and whiplash smile are all great albums, cyberpunk and charmed life were okay but not as good personally.

Try Rebel Yell live at Download Festival in about 2015/2016 when Billy was nearly 60. Amazing performance. There are some great stripped back / acoustic performances to be found on KZbin. And if you’re a fan of Umbrella Academy you might recognise Bitter Taste.

[@marcelopessoa4911]
