Billy Idol - Rebel Yell - Live From the Empire State Building

[@nichole8609]

Doing this song on the Empire State building is such a rock star move. I love this.

[@violentpursuit]

I thought it was pretty ironic that he is performing "Rebel Yell" from the high point of the Empire

[@james-sf5yc]

Ya especially with all those screaming fans.

[@n0madc0re]

This is the gig that inspired Johnny Silverhand to raid Arasaka Tower.

I hate to break it you you, but there is absolutely pitch correction used in this performance.

[@kingwinter2024]

That's reserved for todays bullshit rap and hip hop "artists".

[@Stellamaeby]

@@kingwinter2024 There is subtle autotune on his vocals here. Yes, it sucks. Almost everyone uses it now

[@jebby16]

@@Stellamaeby That's OK. He rocked it back in the eighties without it.

[@itsCopia]

@@Stellamaeby this is it. i hardly even think it's the artist's choice anymore, it just gets added automatically by people mixing it. it sucks, but like you said, everyone does it now :/ but i have heard Billy singing without it in recent times and the man definitely still has it!

i am 37 now. I started getting into Billy Idol when I was 11, when the Wedding Singer movie first came out. it's funny how some music I listened to as a pre-teen is horrible today, but there's others like Billy Idol that slap for all eternity.

I'll say this... all things considered, Billy's aged REALLY well. Great performance.

[@JimmyJinIA]

I saw Billy when he was 50 and he was ripped yet, thought to myself "I hope I age as well". Now that I'm 50+, I think maybe...just maybe...I should have been a rock star! 🤟

[@laurametheny1008]

Yeah! Don't forget Steve tho. Those 2 had their INS and outs but nobody does it like these 2 together. Steve Masters that guitar no matter where. This was one of my faves all the way back. Eyes Without a Face is #2 for me.😉🤘🏼

[@misst9]

Plastic surgery is pretty obvious

[@bopgirl1981]

The only man that’s ever made me speechless! Steve and Billy were walking toward me getting ready to go on stage “ello sweetheart” said Billy and I couldn’t get the words out! And I was working in radio at the time! One of my greatest memories. Billy was super cool with a big cheeky grin! First and only time I have been star struck 😂😂

[@ryankibler7973]

Steve Steven's is an underrated guitar legend who is equally talented as lead or rhythm. He can make one guitar sound like two, not unlike EVH.

[@anonymouse527]

True, but they also added a faint pad sound, or maybe it was an effect pedal. But I'm sure it would've sounded fine without it.

[@Woodwerker]

Comparing him to Eddie? I think that's pushing it.

[@youropionmattersnot]

​@@WoodwerkerAlways you people. It's called an opinion.

[@billcostigan2896]

Strongly agree - definitely an influence

[@robertausberlin]

@@anonymouse527 Sounds like from his FX board and not added afterwards. Also, they kept little mistakes in the guitar performance which I find really authentic. Its pretty stormy in such heights, its probably cold and th guitar also gets out of tune much faster.

[@raulcastro925]

That song only gets better.

[@creamwobbly]

No this is worse, on account of Steve there just playing the electric part, on his Ovation. It sounds legitimately crap. I've heard trad jazz and Romani jazz (‘gypsy’) players get a much bigger sound with more energy by using the whole guitar. It'd be more fitting for the song, and would not have been laughably disappointing for this particular fan of four decades.
