[@chrisestey7277]

If you go way back, Billy always humbled his interviewer with intelligence.

[@comedianfreak]

I love the fact that Billy is intelligent while never taking himself too seriously. He's in on the joke.

[@deborahstollman6238]

You are so right! I love that he’s not full of himself.

Billy handled these goons like a true legend.

[@angelarussell2565]

I have always loved Billy-he is a class act♥

I've always loved Billy Idol since Generation X until now. His music is timeless and he's ageless. He still gets me hot! 🔥🔥🔥

[@peterjones4621]

He's so modest and so likeable!! How can you not love this guy!! And he looks GREAT!! I've listened to him sing recently and he's still got his total voice!!

[@christinelawrence4315]

Very intelligent and driven .. still love his music.. he's a true legend.

[@JFP9036]

Oh man I love this guy! Billy Idol took me thru the Air Force, first base in Turkey in the early 80s and we were rocking out to Billy f-in IDOL. He just ROCKS 🎸 😎

[@deborahstollman6238]

Saw him in concert in the 80s. I love the first rap groups again in the 80s. But I’m open to new old, any era of music. Eyes without a face…my favorite! But I love his new stuff too! Incredibly talented and still very attractive!!

[@poosala8821]

Billy Idol, one of the most well liked figures in the entire music industry.

[@JamesDeWeaver]

100%

[@makeyourself1988]

He is super intelligent and such a humble guy

[@belarte7063]

when he ditched drugs he turned out to be completely different person...much more normal and friendly.....he is also supposedly very health conscious now.....does not eat meat , drinks only water most of the time......exercises everyday ....very fit

[@robinsings]

He is totally misjudged IMO you're absolutely right. Very smart and he would never admit it... ever.

[@rickyelvis3215]

dumb as a log !

[@txmetalhead82xk]

I totally agree. Wisdom beyond years.

[@bostonaudi]

The excerpts from his early days are great - articulate young man. Used to listen to Rebel Yell LP back to back over and over when it came out - such a great record - all songs were excellent and haven’t aged a bit.

[@debrashateri8015]

Billy Idol has always been a fine looking man and a great singer. I loved the 80's and we were lucky to have Billy's face representing the decade. I am so glad that he survived and became the man that he is today🤗.

[@JamesDeWeaver]

100%!

[@dawneabdulal-bari9313]

Agreed!

[@txmetalhead82xk]

He was and continues to be a hero to the blue-collar workers. So inspirational. A real Rebel

He's always so personable and down to earth every interview I've seen him in. I just Dig him so much!

[@twscanada646]

I'm a straight dude but holy shit this guy gets better looking as he gets older and the how the hell does he stay in that shape for a man in his 60's. Was a fan back in the day but becoming a fan all over again, gotta love KZbin. Still sounds great too, not many legends from the 70's and 80's that held up like Billy.

[@emwjmannen2]

He is a vegetarian!

[@TheIncridibleOne]

he aged very well considering how much alcohol and drugs he consumed over the years

[@rubenkjbr]

Workout dude

Plastic surgery and makeup.

[@lilamydogscruffy8842]

I'm loving the older, mature looking Billy Idol. Time had been very good to him. You got to be kidding he will be 60 this November of 2015. I love his style and look now. More Handsome than ever. Love his music and glad he's back. He's a Legend of the punk rock era. Great interview too.

TetriZ BanZai AND.... so? What's wrong with that? Compared to most rockers?

[@deborahstollman6238]

Billy and Steve’s most recent music is wonderful! I absolutely love it it 🎶

[@crackshotscreenprinting]

I met billy in Louisville, Kentucky in the U.S. at a bar called SPLASH. It was a pub that was built on a floating barge. This was before his motorcycle accident and he was still drinking. I was at the pub there waiting for a young woman who stood me up. Billy and I had a two-hour conversation and drank the place nearly dry. What a great guy. he was real and didn't care what others thought.

[@hell_awaitz]

saw him in Melbourne the other day couldn't believe my eyes.. true rock god

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Tremendous!

[@JamesDeWeaver]

@Rascal Bascal Same here : ^ ))

[@lenurban]

He's gotten a little tongue in cheek as he's gotten older. Love this guy.

[@mjh5437]

His stage persona has always been VERY tongue-in-cheek.

[@lenurban]

@@mjh5437 fair enough, maybe I'm more tuned into it now. I was 13 or 14 when I discovered his videos on MTV, so the tongue in cheek sensor might not have been as developed. I'm 50 now, so it seems more pronounced, but that could be me.

[@daCubanaqt]

@@mjh5437 Yes, he’s always been like that!

[@Von1966]

Gorgeous, intelligent and talented. Worthy of that poster I had on the wall back in the day.

[@danielles.7150]

Billy still sounds and looks amazing. I especially loved listening to the interview with young Billy Idol...he already knew his influences and the direction he wanted to go in. That part of this video made it even cooler.

[@admiralsmelling1666]

Billy and Steve Stevens, two of the all-time great rockers.

[@ritahall6628]

Billy is a great singer and musician I love him so much !!

[@williamchristian8705]

Billy is the LEGEND! He’s the Ponce de Leon of punk rock. He’s a fine wine. Same with Steve. They’ve actually gotten even better. He’s have a blast now just like in the 80s. If you see them you will get a full value plus for the ticket price. You’ll go home smiling for weeks.

[@mzpacino1805]

Billy I loved him in the 80s and love him now! Te Amo Billy!

[@lolotaeja3911]

A surprisingly intelligent, articulate and interesting person. Has aged well and has a great deal of humility for such a gigawatt star. Have always enjoyed his music.

[@SuperZadie]

Amazing intelligent person, already sharp and entrepreneurial in the 1970's.

[@lifegoeson2422]

There's only one Billy Idol one of the most unique rockers theres ever been. An absolute legend. He was the first guy to bring Swagger with Punk.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

Billy signed my husband's album on stage at the turf club in st.paul mn.. hes was so awesome. Ty billy

[@JamesDeWeaver]

Tremendous!!!

[@iggypopisgod9]

Turf Club? u got to be kidding?

[@MartinandFreddie]

The guy just oozes talent. As a live performer he's still one of the best ! The dictionary definition of "Rock God" !! :-)

[@JamesDeWeaver]

100%!

[@kradius2169]

... He did a lot of lip syncing, Martin, pop/rock music mandatory, I suppose ... and Goodsall was the actual axeman on Eyes Without a Face, I believe, probably his & Stevens’ best & most original work, perhaps the best version done only very recently on SiriusXM. Also, by all appearances, a “made man” in the Illuminati sense - tons of one-eye and other imagery, the whole Aucoin thing, etc., etc. ... He could be a very dangerous man, if he were to ever sober up - everything: the weed & whatever else - imagine Billy Idol critiquing the FauxVID-9/11 with a special edition of Eyes Without a Face! If only!!

[@deborahstollman6238]

He seems highly intelligent. I love the new music he and Steve have put out. I grew up with Billy Idol in the 80s. I was into new wave, punk, rock, disco, all kinds of music. I loved the look, the entire thing. I actually saw Billy at Merry Weather back then. We used to get called freaks and now the music, look and everything represents that time period as if it had been accepted. Funny how people are.

[@daCubanaqt]

Music is always like that. The younger generation creates and discovers a new genre and the older generation doesn’t like it because they like what they grew up with. It still blows my mind to hear rap and R&B songs being sampled in commercials where back in the 90s there was so much censorship around that genre. It was the same with heavy metal from the 80s which was considered devil music…lol. Now you hear songs from that genre being sample too.

[@mortishastyles1345]

Billy Idol has toched me deep for allmost 40 years I'm 64.Went to see him in the house of blues in vegas in about 2000 it was a thrill of a lifetime.
