I was in high school at the time and everyone had a picture of Billy Idol in their locker

[@marcotroiani7]

Billy Idol Is the TOP. The best all the time....

[@mitchellsouphasith3763]

Delivering sex appeal.

[@GryLi]

Its my favorit Billy song, it so sexy

[@allezFrance2016]

You should also try, "Catch my fall" and "Eyes without a face" from the same album. 😉😉 Great too !

[@Reani71]

If you loved the bass then definitely 'Catch My Fall'... one of my all-time favorite songs with an amazing bass on it.

[@raycotton8129]

And as you listen to french music, you will like the chorus at eyes without a face ...

[@stephm.3407]

These are the softer side of Billy, and amazing!

[@waynedexter]

Angel Olsen does a fine cover of “Eyes Without a Face”. You guys should check it out.

[@resireg]

cradle of love too

[@Reani71]

The most essential song from him to listen to is 'Rebel Yell'. And the producer Keith Forsey produced some other great artists that you should try also: Simple Minds, and The Psychedelic Furs.

[@resireg]

Rebel in Southern USA means Confederate. 2 years ago, I was at his concert, and he named that song after drinking a whisky called rebel in Southern USA.

[@danielsegen]

Billy Idol is iconic!!! React to Hot in the city, Rebell yell, eyes without a face, white wedding, cradle of love, dancing with myself and so many others….

[@mitchellsouphasith3763]

Billy Idol is such a bad bad boy.

[@redpinkdot4297]

I so get why your sister was a fan back then. I don’t know if she still is but I have never recovered from Billy Idol. 😁 I was infatuated with him back then, no doubt. *blushes*

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

YES!!!!

[@robertjag167]

To this day, Billy Idol is the ultimate rizzmaster. Even his most recent live performances he still just KILLS it at his current age.

[@yomvanhaver]

And now Eyes Without Face ; Dancing With Myself ; White Wedding ; Sweet Sixteen. All huge 80s hits.

[@waynedexter]

Angel Olsen does a fine cover of “Eyes Without a Face”. You should check it out.

[@sashabertold3731]

Billy Idol is one of the defining 80s guys. People tend to think of Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince & Whitney Houston but in a way Billy belonged to the 80s superstars too. He had so many hits!!! One of the 80s defining hits was Rebel Yell! That classic was released by the end of 1983 and was played throughout the 80s, one could not escape it! Once you check Rebel Yell you'll understand!!! It's a live video only and a MUST for you!!!! ................. Otherwise Eyes Without A Face, Dancing With Myself, Don't Need A Gun, Sweet 16, Cradle Of Love, Adam In Chains, White Wedding, Mony Mony, Catch My Fall, To Be A Lover and more!!!

[@IsabelleRSG]

So many great hits from Billy Idol, and in various styles (Sweet Sixteen - a beautiful acoustic ballad - White Wedding, To Be A Lover, Eyes Without A Face) . Am sure you'll love and have a blast listening to all his singles from back in the days. Plus Steve Stevens' fantastic guitar riffs (this one was def not one of the songs where he shines but he's a great guitar player)

[@pelztier175]

this one is a masterpice of guitarwork!

[@pennyj777]

🔥🔥🔥🔥😎😎❤️ more more more billy. You will love all his 80s hits. 👍

[@franticrage73]

Don’t know the song but he’s still killing it. White Wedding and Eyes Without a Face are two ya need to check out. Both worthy of going bananas.

[@waynedexter]

Angel Olsen does a fine cover of “Eyes Without a Face”. You should check it out.

[@michaelromeo9567]

Steve Stevens.. 💖 Also worked with Michael Jackson. Underrated guitar Player.

[@calipop_9253]

I was seriously in love with Billy Idol when i was 10. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

For me, the infatuation started at like 9 years old. Said my biggest dream for adulthood was becoming Mrs. Billy Idol.

[@allezFrance2016]

Maybe you know from Billy Idol the song "Dancing with myself" 😊

[@olgierdanotv1893]

Im addicted to billy idol! Get me out! Next to listen: Rebell Yell, Got To Be A Lover, Eyes Without a Face!

[@waynedexter]

Angel Olsen does a fine cover of “Eyes Without a Face”. You should check it out.

[@benlarin8426]

What a great reaction, Dereck!! 🤣

[@stevesomeone486]

Jeepers I love your reactions ❤ I was 16 in 1984 when Billy and others shaped my life . Sir William of Idol is a legend . ( Steve Stevens most underrated guitarist ever) take care and be safe fella 🙂

[@sanduvalahia5057]

Please do Falco-Rock me Amadeus,you wont be disapointted

[@UliFandoms]

Sorry, not sorry Dereck, but this defo is one of your best reactions ever! 🙌🙌🔥 🔥 #leavingnothingtoimagination

[@francky8389]

Billy Idol is a great singer. Steve Stevens is one of the greatest guitarists in this world. Tanks Dereck !!

[@JavaScriptJolt]

It’s impossible to abstain from anything after hearing this 😂🤣😂 Sooo true!

[@gerryweed7697]

Few Songs from Billy Idol --> Rebel Yell .. Mony mony ... 😎👍

[@marcl4000]

This song coming from the «Rebel Yell» album in 1983 had a big success (the sond and the album). I had... a cassette at the time, played over and over. Then I completely lost sight of idol for many years. I saw not too long ago that he was still singing for shows... but he seemed trapped in this 80’s image, playing the old songs that made him popular. I find it a little sad... You can see him here singing «Flesh or Fantasy», the energy seems to be still there. YT ref. : « Billy Idol - Flesh for Fantasy - Outside Lands 2015, Live in San Francisco »

[@alanball2837]

His new song bitter taste is awsome and its a good video about his bike crash in the 90s

[@libbykemp4837]

Rebel yell and white wedding are a must to listen to by Billy sex on legs idol lol

[@robertasirgutz8800]

Great reaction to a great song, which is very complex on many levels.

[@pailbadcock]

Love Billy.

[@MrMoon-59]

My #1 by him, Flesh For Fantasy

[@traherne6726]

Thankyou for keeping these great songs alive !

[@CKPerri]

Brilliant Billy 👍🤩🤩😍😍

[@1974dormouse]

His new EP is available on Spotify and it’s incredible. It reminds me of this stuff, as if he wrote the songs back then. Just great

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

I used to listen to his album Whiplash Smile every day over and over for a year. I love every song on that album. I mean, just listen to Don`t need a gun. Fantastic song. Other great songs by him, Rebel Yell, Sweet sixteen, To be a lover. Awesome.

[@upfrontbear74]

Don't Need A Gun is my personal fave of his

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

@@upfrontbear74 Mine too! Along with Rebel Yell.

[@wersd7396]

Oh !!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanx again ! One of my favorite song of this artist 😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐

[@Kakteen75]

oh, yahhhhhh

[@stu_pidkant]

Love your reactions..... especially when you take us on a trip down memory lane, keeping us sane, especially me in crazy times Thank you 👍

[@farimahdilmaghani5751]

I was a kid when this song came out and Billy Idol was so big back then. I still love his uniqueness and the way he performs. Don't forget Rebel Yell and Eyes Without a Face. Thanks for great reactions. I love Flesh or Fantasy. It's so cool.

[@waynedexter]

Angel Olsen does a fine cover of “Eyes Without a Face”. You should check it out.

[@farimahdilmaghani5751]

@@waynedexter Ok, thanks

[@sweeperboy]

Love this song, enjoyed your reaction. You need to listen to more Billy Idol and react to them. I suggest the following as essential: - - Rebel Yell - White Wedding - Eyes Without a Face - Catch My Fall - Sweet Sixteen After Flesh for Fantasy and the first two on the list above, you'll think you know what to expect from a Billy Idol song, but the next three songs will be very different. And then he has his other rockabilly style too which is different again.

[@theConquerersMama]

Huge crush on him. And yes, so many naughty thoughts and deeds to this song.

[@sebastienotaku1317]

I can say it : my favorite 80's song ever and forever. So good. Thank you so much for that reaction, Dereck 😍

[@jannuar2009]

Great Choice

[@williamyamm8803]

My favorit song of him is "Cradle Of Love". Thanks for your great channel !

[@resireg]

He opened his concert in Vancouver Canada with that song, and nobody in the public except sang along

[@jamescotner2459]

Billy Rocks

[@arkasonus7678]

Yes 👍🏻👍🏻 First 😎... first for fantasy 😁

[@weallmakechoices7456]

Great reaction. He’s even better live. Please do a reaction to his live performance.

[@rickjr37]

His only #1 in the USA was a live cover of “Mony,Mony!” by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1987. He had already recorded a studio version,released in 1981,that hit the dance chart but never charted on the Hot 100. His breakout hits came in 1983 with “Hot In The City” & “White Wedding”.

[@tammyhastings5761]

Oh my goodness Dereck I just love your reactions. I love how excited you get! I also had a major crush on Billy Idol back in the day, I mean how could you not...lol. Please check out his songs Rebel Yell, Dancing With Myself and White Wedding, you won't be disappointed :)

[@bigjoe330]

Love your reaction to this one! 😉😂❤️

[@annettegyde7585]

I love this reaction, one of the best and authentic i've seen to how naughty / sexy billy is =ppp

[@bladerunner4425]

Hos did I miss this? One of my favorite songs of all times, along with Modern Talking - Geronimo's Cadillac. Beautiful.

[@LeNaSmileyStar]

My ABSOLUTE FAV of Billy Idol. ;D

[@dloo1579]

Oh yeahhhhhh

[@janosfernandez945]

The way you reacted to this song is...naughty :) But then Billy was a sexy one ! And still is by the way !

[@saffii1035]

REBEL YELL!!! A must Dereck! OMG you will love :P

[@maxime8221]

Hi Dereck from Normandie , France !!

[@terrylewis_]

I forgot about this music video, seeing the black plastic flooring at the beginning reminded me of Self Control by Laura Branigan. A favorite song of mine, going to check your review of that next. Continue the black plastic flooring. :)

[@Arnokptv]

I THINK THAT YOU ARE REALLY SINCERE WHEN YOUR LISTEN TO THE SONGS THANKS FOR BEING HOSNEST YOUR ROYAL JOB! thy

[@benmcfly496]

Sweet sixteen is my Billy idol favorite song ❤️with "eyes without a face", two beautiful 80's songs.

[@laurencefoubert1815]

HAAAAHAAAHAHAAA, Dereck, your comments are priceless 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@exos282]

"Sweet sixteen " and " eyes without a face"

[@melancoman]

Verry good choise guy, I love the guitar effect chorus, and distortion metal !!!!

[@luvhart]

I blame Billy Idol for my homosexuality!!

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

😆😀😁

[@nathaliedenard3008]

🤣🤣

[@CapitainBeefhartfanO]

Billy Idol reaffirms my homosexuality. This man transpires s3x, and incredibly he gets hotter every day!

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Love it!!!!.

[@mikekaraoke]

Love this song and music video hit in many countries as you know! Come on Dereck-you would of def heard of Rebel Yell/White Wedding/Sweet Sixteen/Mony Mony/. etc

[@kimbaedie]

Love me some Billy!! One of my favorite songs of his; Blue Highway His biggest fan lately has been Miley Cyrus who has had him perform with her.👍👍

[@rjyoudrive]

❤️

[@Nico3039]

"sweet sixteen"

[@dorientjewoller113]

That guy is still recording. His latest single is bloody awesome and straight in your face.

[@that70sgirl17]

Watch Rebel Yell next Please!

[@bradleypaulus2926]

Yes! He is just ultra hot in this video. When this came out on MTV, all the girls and many of the guys were in love with him.

[@stephm.3407]

Billy Idol started out in the punk band Gen X, they are worth checking out too, late 70s, early 80s. I got to see him in 1983 (I think) at the Hollywood Palladium, he was amazing. He's still a hot bad boy even in his 60's. If you check out Rebel Yell, many of us wish we could have been the dancer who came "dancing to his door."

[@dgeneeknapp3168]

The only rocker I've seen that just kept getting hotter looking AND better sounding with every passing era.

[@LetsChillPage]

4.56 So funny comment! :))) I know Billy Idol for so long, he was still part of the group Gen X just after been a member of "Siouxsie and the Banshees" (very famous punk band from the 70s) when a friend introduced him to me in 80 or 81. Honestly, I never offered him to react cause I thought you already knew his main hits. Most of the commentators have already indicated to you his greatest hits, the most catchy of which is undoubtedly "Dancing with myself", a title that he takes up and remixes since this title was part of the Gen X catalog ("Mony, Mony" of Gen X also given rise to a new cover by Billy Idol). Il a sorti un nouveau clip que j'ai partagé le jour de sa sortie sur ma page FB.

[@johnnada6855]

very FUNKY

[@alainsegarini568]

Hey Derek, you should definitely react to my favorite Billy's song "Don't need a gun", his 3 best songs according to me being that one, "Flesh for fantasy" and obviously "Eyes without a face" with its french chorus "Les yeux sans visage".

[@Arnokptv]

my name s arnaud french sorry for my bad english really pleased to know your show THANKS MERCI VRAIMMENT !

[@ptruscott150trussy4]

Rebel Yell will definately go on your play list and you will go bananas too believe me react to it mate

[@tonymeehan7859]

Rebel Yell was his best Album

[@samueldevulder]

Oh! I recall this song.. so 80's... Did you know Billy (William Broad) was born in the Middlesex. That county name made me laugh when I was kid, and somehow, is still now at the moment (no offence UK viewers, I'm regressing to childhood silliness).

[@darrenbuckley2082]

Live Rebel yell then White wedding would be a good introduction, you will appreciate them im sure.

[@calipop_9253]

A personal favorite song of mine is Sweet Sixteen from Billy Idol. Also, you gotta check out Adam Ant.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

One of THE SEXIEST entertainers to EVER come out of my Generation X'er existence. So delicious, charismatic, humorous, intelligent, and beautiful to me, no matter how old Billy Idol gets. Will love him from 9 years old into my now middle age, till I leave this earth.

[@lordtj63]

I love this reaction... Billy was a God (also a sex God for sure) back in the 80's... he had both boys & girls drooling over him and his sexy videos.. Hes a mess now the poor dear.. but here in the UK hes still appearing on commercials and shows..Loved him..

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

A mess?. I haven't read anything about Billy Idol being in bad physical health recently. I would have come across that news right away with my love of him. I hope it's not true and he's fine.

[@elizabethfyffe5377]

You should react to Billy idols rebel yell.

[@PatissaPA]

Billy and Samantha Fox are equal in that sex appeal in music lol

[@valeried.f4961]

Please Dereck react to 'Eyes without a face'❤

[@michellephillips2983]

You must listen to Rebel Yell you will love it !!

[@Zlatkohmmm]

you could try melissa manchester - energy

[@sean4339]

Flesh for fantasy build up mmmm yum 😋

[@makkurotatsu]

Small typo, Dereck. You might want to change the title from "Flesh or Fantasy" to "Flesh for Fantasy". 😉

[@jodigrace7613]

As to the actual meeting of this I think it's just all about celebrating alternative lifestyles

[@Arnokptv]

HI 1982DERECK HAVE YOU ALREADY EVALUATED THE SONG : YAZOO "don't go" ? 1982 SAMANTHA FOX "naughty girls need love too"1988 LOUISE TUCKER "midnight blue"1982 CHARTS "comme un magicien" 1991 PACIFIQUE "quand tu serres mon corps"1990 ANDREWS SISTERS "medley" MIDNIGHT OIL "beds are burning"1987 ANEKA "japanese boy"1981 EARTHA KITT "where is my man "1983 BRIGITTE" battez vous" 2011 please listen DERECK! i love the single MY FAVORITES DUOS IS : LARA FABIAN ET MAURANE "tu es mon autre" very beautiful song very emmotional really!

[@emilygrantham1224]

Can you react to bobby caldwell 😊😊 you will like the instrumentals in is song what you won't do for love, plus he has an amazing voice!! 😊

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to more rock/metal based songs, please react to Aesthetic Perfection with their songs: Gods and Gold (with Richard Z Kruspe from Rammstein on guitars) Party Monster (with Jinxx of Black Veil Brides) S E X/Gravity (with Sebastian Svalland of PAIN and Lindemann)

[@camban]

You will need wetwipes for your seat after White Wedding and Rebel Yell. In the 80s everyone wanted him or wanted to be him. Dude was/is smouldering hot and super smart.

[@redhen2123]

Don't know anyone else who make a carer out of sneering.

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Elvis did. He borrowed the sneer from Elvis Presley.
