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. 💕

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

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@Islendingar]

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 !!

[@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

[@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

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

@@copinman It just wasn't what we expected (at the time) from Billy Idol. Most of his material, up until that point, had been driving punk/hard rock numbers. But then along came this song and he's actually CROONING through a slow-paced ballad. It wasn't until the guitar solo came charging in that we realized "Okay, that's Billy Idol."

[@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

Flesh for Fantasy and Rebel Yell are Billy Idol musts! PS--- I was laughing to myself watching you guys, knowing that there was that dip in the song. Even though this was not as huge as his others, it was memorable because fans got to hear him really sing, not just growl it out!

[@joannamcdee9061]

My step-son looked so much like Billy Idol that my daughter at 3, seeing Billy in concert on Tv while her brother was visiting his mother for the summer out of province, screamed and smiled at Billy, pointing, clapping and calling out for her bro. There was 14 years between them. When my Stepson returned from the summer vacation and returned to high school, Halloween was soon upon them. He was so thrilled with my daughter being convinced his summer job was to sing on stage, that he thought he’d dress for the Halloween dance as Billy. He and I applied ourselves to costume, a bit of bronzer to raise his cheekbones and how to turn his light golden tresses to Billy’s white. Voila! So prepped, he drove off to school fully dressed, only to return home several hours later only partially clothed. The girls at the dance were so overwhelmed by him, they tore at his jeans, tearing them off above the knees. Slashed black tee shirt lay in ribbons about his shoulders and chest. Hair was totally dishevelled. But the grin of joy on this shy young man’s face lasted a month...The girls all noticed him at school from that day forward....

[@hwd71]

I keep coming back to this song, its so haunting and mesmerising. Timeless.

[@joelscottarnold3262]

Try, please, "Sweet sixteen" , "Catch my fall" or "Dancing with myself".

This was actually his breakthrough to the Top 10. Apparently breaking him meant doing a ballad before they would pay attention to his rockers. Damn program directors.

everybody loves Billy

This is one of those songs that brings me back to my room in my home in the 80s. I would have been an early teenager and just drifting away. It's kinda melancholy but I was still fascinated. It's when you almost feel like you are really close to that past. What I am saying is that certain songs just bring you back to your childhood more than others.

It's a matter of opinion with Billy's songs. This is one of my favorites along with "Rock the Cradle of Love", "Dancing with Myself" and "Catch My Fall". Even my mom liked him. That's why I've been anti-genre. Most of the singers/groups I liked did different things throughout their careers. Billy started as a punk rocker. But punk rockers don't do ballads, right? 🤔

Actually Sweet Sixteen is a great ballad

Best Billy Idol song ‘To Be a Lover’. Fun, sexy, upbeat and classic Billy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX2clqOFaNl9ipY

That's the funny thing about Billy Idol, two of his fans will argue with each other over which songs were great and which were lame. I hate Dancing with Myself, and other fans claim it's his greatest song. I loved his whole Cyberpunk album and most people hated it.

[@DireHammer]

@@poeslanding Most fans do, I'm definitely in the minority.
