Billy Idol - Don't Need A Gun (TV Show performance)

Amazing performance, Billy at his best! Circa 1986-1987

[@DarthMacchio]

Billy and Steve may have been coked out of their minds during the making of Whiplash Smile, but personally it's my favorite of all his records, and in my opinion is ironically also the most cohesive.

What do you mean cohesive?

Somewhere in the future, somehow, some way, in a parallel universe, we will get Rock And Roll back and do this all over again.

Seriously Billy's hair was awesome. And don't need a gun was one of the best songs Billy ever did.

[@johncole2469]

WOW!! Miami Vice brought me here. This was wow! So glad I grew up in that era. My kids are jealous.

[@timibroughton6678]

I woʻuld loved to had him one time. That snare on left side of his mouth that look from head to toe. Just a Beautiful Man. OMG! He's a Man you can"t forget. I REALLY MÌSS THE 80'S THE BEST DAYS EVER I HONESTLY TEAR UP SOMETIMES BECAUSE THAT WAS MY HAPPIEST YEARS. Clothes Hair Bands and the best looking ones we were blessed with.so much. Thankß billy fir the style the music just everything you gave us. You'll never be forgotten who could forget you? I wish i could have et you then and now.but it would have been an awesome experience. Until then I'll keep listening to your beautiful songs voice and YOU. THEY TRULY BROKE THE MOLD WHEN YOU WERE BORN! Yes they did.

[@rainneday]

Does anyone realize this drummer plays an insane steady beat for 4+ consecutive minutes....holy cow!!! Makes the song :-0

[@captinbeyond]

The drummer was on acid or starbucks extra strength dark roast. Love the beat in this song.

[@Steveorino123]

Really. It's like he's powering a 50 ton locomotive down the tracks, pouring the coals to it. Relentless! Very cool.

[@franciscopepe9353]

IMPRESIONANTE

I VE BEEN PLAYING DRUMS SINCE I WAS 4 YRS OLD NOW AT 67 STILL GOING STRONG!! THANK U DAD AND MOM RIP

This is playback, not live lol

[@red76vette]

Billy now or then you saved my life, because right then I did need a gun! I was in a bad spot like never before. Broken for the 2nd time and recently screwed over, heart sick I heard you! You were there.

What a Bad Ass solo by Steve! This was a dynamic duo if there ever was one!

Вот эту мелодию нужно было использовать в новом фильме Чёрный Адам. А не песню тоже моей любимой группы Роулинг Стоун. В момент боя.

[@xlizalizx]

My dad showed me this clip when I was 10. Since then I know what good music and amazing live performance is! Billy Idol

[@goldenagex]

Unfortunately this was obvious lip-syncing in a time when lip-syncing was at its height, and it's embarassing to look back and know that we had no clue even as obvious as it is today.

[@danielaschwarz1971]

It was 1986 were Billy Idol was here in Dortmund Germany Westfahlenhalle and I can remember when I was a 15 years old teenager and so many stars around there but BILLY was the BEST

[@sticks5614]

That would be Peter's Pop Show then. He played about 3 tracks if I remember.

[@danielaschwarz1971]

@@sticks5614 That is true and Peters Pop Show was in Dortmund in the city where I live and I was there in 1986.We had the german Tv-show FORMEL EINS.That was a great time and I am glad that I have my memories from the 80s💞

[@sticks5614]

@@danielaschwarz1971 I vaguely remember that even though my German isn't that good which is really bad as I lived just up the road from Dortmund from about '86 - '90. We used to go to a nightclub Dortmund which was called "Krypton" I think. Yes the '80's was a great time and though you shouldn't look back I'm afraid I do with the '80's.

[@andrewgibbons4759]

I love the fact that Billy pays homage to the greats that have influenced him. Elviis, Johnnie Ray, Gene Vincent. He later did the same to Jerry Lee Lewis one of the wildest rockers ever to have lived and still alive and kicking piano stools. Billy Idol earns his place as a Rock n Roll great. Very horny too.

[@mitchly]

I always thought he had a bit of a young Elvis thing going on. Great showman

[@siddcandy]

And Jim Morrison ofc. 👍

[@VINvIN344]

[@КатеринаЯгода-м3ч]

КРУТЯК !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobskins808]

A jolly rude gesture Billy made indiscreetly near the start of the song.. I'm not saying it was wrong for him to do this but what a 'rebel' he was.. He was clearly full of self confidence, swagger & fatal charms at this point in his career. In this performance he was clearly miming but doing so with expert timing. He really gives his facial expressions the full monty here too, aided by fab lighting effects giving the look, with his bleach blonde spiked hair, of someone who's touching an electrical live wire (for me anyway!) Sporting tight leather pants with a leather jacket, the traditional 1 gloved hand & a bare chest, this is Billy at his best.. Perhaps the career peak. When I was a teenager in the 80s Billy was one of my idol's. I was then in his 'official fan club' & I received in the mail monthly poster books, stickers & things like that.. He's still great!

[@jimmyferris]

Excellent

[@running4fun863]

Such a lovely voice, I love Billy a beautiful man.

[@kelavus3963]

Wow, what music, my whole body trembles with happiness and joy. Because I do not like today's music, I landed at the 90's. I used to think that it is normal music. Now I see that it was excellent music. I wished Billy idol and his band 100 times more success. They were great musicians. I love you all. In the past, good musicians got together and formed a band. Today, the musicians are all artificial, they are made by invisible people together and have to jump at the touch of a button. With Billy Idol and his band, it's true that they do not make music just for the money. They do it because they want to do it and that brings much better music than the losers of 2018 or 2019. I pray for for Billy and his Band that they have now a good live .

Потрясающе, один из первых просмотренных мной видеоклипов. Энергетика непередаваемая на питерс поп шоу. Монтаж шикарен. Забавный момент с барабанщиком на 1:01. А девушка за клавишами богиня! Amazingly, one of the first video clips I watched. Energy inexpressible at the peters pop show. Installation is gorgeous. Fun moment with the drummer at 1:01. And the girl behind the keys is generally delighted!

[@globalcons44]

Hey,come on critisism. This song I am crazy about for 30 years since it was shown on Peter;s pop show on New Year 1986/87/ Believe me , guys , I am spoiled boy as far as different music concern , but this one boost self confidence unprecedented way. Being performed in very epotagious provaked way , this " dont need a gun , Russian roulette no fun" was best fit for revolutionary mood that was in the air for us Russians in mid eithies, in ths time of Perestroyka and lifting Iron Curtain. Thre cheers for Billy Idol

[@kentishtowncowboy]

He might be 'Live' as in on the stage but it's all soundtape and precisely like the LP. At least I got a chance to look over Guitar Hero, Steve Stevens. The drummer sells it! Well done, Sir.

[@justindelgado6244]

kentishtowncowboy true

[@austexjam]

Are you saying that he lipsynced or what? Glad you said well done or I would have said that you would *itch about a wet dream.

[@captinbeyond]

yeah, i noticed that also. It was too perfectly matched to the recorded version and many places his lips don't match the words you hear.....

[@jeanetterudin5350]

This is playback. In the 80s this was kind of normal to lipsinc.

[@VINvIN344]
