My still N01 singer for 42 years since I've been listening to him since I was 14. To this day, I listen to him regularly as if he had just released all those songs. Each one was a hit and was played at discos and parties. I listen to them today as on the first day with the same enthusiasm and passion. It's like it hasn't been that many years since I've been listening to them. That's why all his songs are timeless hits. Billy Idol forever in the heart of a Croatian woman.❤️🇭🇷❤️

Omg..Love you Billy..and you look fantastic..I saw you in new Zealand in the 80's and i think I love you more today. xx

[@keeterscotch8792]

Without question, Steve Stevens is one of the very best, most talented and underrated guitarists in rock and roll music, PERIOD!!

[@superbobbytaylor6072]

His wig is more underrated than his guitar playing in my view.

great fucking song, i confess that i thought that it was one of the old great hits that he has that i didnt knew, but its a new f....... great song

[@Splashadian]

True Story!

[@deadpolevault]

It's a mature Billy. I listened to it. Then backed it up and listened again.

[@jorgweb]

For me Billy Idol still has one of the greatest voices in Rock & Roll. Steve Stevens is just as great on guitar. He could always bring the house down. More of them should have been made available by the music industry. I've always wondered why they seemed to have disappeared from the mainstream. What a great proof of greatness this video is.

[@DarrellWingerak]

To be able to bring it like that with only one instrument playing is rare and wonderful to watch.

Yes you just have to give credit to these guys and others like this still out there rockin and rollin and actually not sounding bad at all. Time can steal from you however these guys, yes they showing their age, but the spirit of their heart to still play music blurs the line and we’re take back and 21 again. Thank you- keep on keepin on.

[@walterordonez654]

Con el paso los años quedó demostrado que aquél tipo que bailaba a mediados de los '80 con una guitarra detrás de Billy Idol en sus videoclips no era solo relleno de imágenes. Vos lo bautizaste como el Top Gun yo también le agregaría el "alma musical" de lo que fue y actualmente es este artista que aún sigue sorprendiéndonos con sus interpretaciones.

They both are so extremely talented with their instruments! Steve is such a legend on the guitar and Billys voice is still absolutely brilliant and he is a great singer. I'm glad they both met and created history together. Hope they'll be able to make music for another 20 years at least. ❤️

I would have to agree with you 100% today's auto-tune has ruined music. I can remember having the extended version of flesh for fantasy I'm not sure if you can search it on KZbin or not but it was Kick-Ass never got tired of playing

They would not recognize talent, even if it hit then in the face.
