I have a Billy Idol story! I got to meet and hang out with him in the late 90’s. He was so nice and humble. I jokingly asked him to teach me how to do the raised lip curl he does. He smiled and said “Just think of someone you love and hate at the same time”. It worked. Lol. He’s a sweetheart. 💕

[@anthonysalvaro2979]

awesome story!

[@richardhojczyk2296]

That is awesome!!!!

[@angelabowman1614]

Oh girl! I am so jealous! Lol....I saw him in concert though. I would have had a heart attack if I got to spend time with him.....I Love the English accent. And he was (and still is) sexy! Those blue eyes! Sexy sexy sexy! 😊👍

[@Really377]

Cool. 😂

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Great story!. I am so unbelievably jealous right now. Since childhood..Billy has always been an Artist.. I've always dreamed of meeting.

[@lobo667-z1e]

He is one of the most unique and underappreciated artists ever. Tremendously gifted.

[@pigalow2002]

He never got the credit he deserved for the songwriter he was. I particularly liked his 1st album. Songs like, “Shooting Stars(my favorite)”, “It’s So Cruel”, are EXCELLENT tracks. Of course everyone knows the more popular ones from that record, but in general it was his image & antics that got all the attention. & that’s a shame, because he was better than that.

[@Connie1Fan]

@@pigalow2002 he still is amazing writing and singing along with Steve Stevens, think last September his last release, check out, Save me now and Bitter pill ... he can still belt it!

[@Lfg117]

🔥 - Song aged like fine wine

He also had his hits with generation X 🔥

[@jhammy46]

In my opinion Billy has the second most beautiful singing voice of the 80s, behind only George Michael.

An artist now being recognised for the supreme talent he was. In many ways he was so unique and ahead of his time

[@Dude10946]

It’s his most memorable and iconic song. 50 years from now people will still rock to it . I mean everything about it is awesome, his voice, the guitar riff, to the beautiful background vocals, to the instrumentation. It’s dark and unique, and tragic

[@BuzzWreck61]

It’s called a bridge. And once you’ve heard it a few more times, it’ll grow in your brain into what it really is: Billy’s finest tune. Has to be experienced LOUD.

[@todthoven1]

Agreed. This is Mozart compared to most of his music, imo

[@spykatt]

You are right. That bridge provided the listener with a sonic, emotional, and visual journey. I think this is his finest song.

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

The bridge sounded like the old rhcp

[@orcoastgal]

But preceded RHCP

[@fatboyrowing]

I have kids that enjoy all sorts of music… but they don’t seem to understand loud music. We live in this Alexa world where there isn’t any punch, no kick and low fidelity. Fortunately I have an audiophile grade amp that spits out a clean 325 watts per channel RMS. I think I need to give them each a beer (one is 21 the other 24) and demonstrate how to properly listen to a true rocker.

[@danielbalderas3548]

That song hits me so hard in the gut! Makes me wish I could get in a time machine and step off back into the 80’s

[@Music-Is-Real-Love]

Amen

[@lucylu3401]

Same!!!😅

[@PVCswede]

💯

[@soakedbearrd]

Yeah I think it’s the most nostalgic out of all his songs. It’s melancholic as well.

[@shawn.m.schmidt]

Billy Idol quote, “I’ve always had a fascination with the titles of horror films … I was particularly intrigued by the ‘60s French nouvelle vague forerunner Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face), about a brilliant plastic surgeon who vows to restore the face of his daughter, who has been horribly disfigured in a car accident. This vow leads him to murder, as he sets out collecting the facial features of his victims, which he then grafts onto his daughter’s hideous countenance, attempting to restore her beauty. Her staring eyes remain the only thing visible.”

[@salvadoramaya8642]

Great back story.

[@AZambri1]

Also, he was dating a French woman at the time, which was also an influence.

[@filmsensei]

Never heard this back story before. Thank you.

[@ZannNewman]

The horror continues as the transplants don't heal - he's going to keep killing and grafting

[@19Edurne]

... hence the backing vocals being "les yeux sans visage". I knew there must have been a relation with the movie - I saw it years ago - but I didn't know which. Thanks for the quote.

[@mdennis9496]

This song caught EVERYONE off guard when it came out, regardless it was a SMASH! The change actually works for some odd reason, but you cannot deny the stunning arrangement and background vocals. Salute to you Billy for stepping out of the box and hitting it out of the park.

[@copinman]

"This song caught EVERYONE off guard when it came out" What you mean about that?... I'm genuine interested in this comment since I'm from '95 I don't know much about what was happening in that specific time when the song came out :)

[@brianflon6310]

It's not like Billy's other stuff. I remember hearing it for the first time in a New York nightclub, and it stopped me in my tracks and transported me to another world.@@copinman

[@yumyumbumblebee]

​@@copinman it sounded like nothing else on the radio or MTV at the time & very slow/out of character for Billy Idol. It stands the test of time as a beautifully haunting song- his other biggest hits- "White Wedding" & "Dancin With Myself" are also timeless classics but they fall into a different category.

[@Alix777.]

They didn't even tried to look at the lyrics of the bridge, he tries to overcome his sadness and despair that's why the music is getting more upbeat

[@DavidKing-ut9wr]

When Jordan said this was the slowest Billy Idol he had heard who else smiled and thought “Yeah, wait till that riff drops.”

[@elevationmoto6208]

Hell yeah! I got the volume cranked waiting for it!

[@steviesellers]

this guy is the nicest guy ive ever met , me and the wife and many others were delayed at a airport in the departure lounge . Billy Idol was there and he started to play acoustic guitar for about a hour , taking requests what a guy . This was 1 of the tracks he played

A classic Billy Idol track. Rebel Yell is a classic, Dancing With Myself, Mony Mony, Fleah for Fantasy, Hot In The City (my fave track) Catch My Fall & Scream are a few classics to listen to as well …… awesome artist and great live too !!

[@pampennyworth]

You’ve obviously got the 11 of the best album. Perfect driving music.

Add "Cradle of Love" (especially the official video), "Sweet Sixteen" and "To Be A Lover" to this list... perfect.
