I never understood as a teen in the late 90s why all the older generation hated the Grunge era of Rock. As I got older I realized their version of Rock & Roll was happy and sexy and fun. 70s and 80s Rock was just a blast. Everyone was just partying their asses off. So to them Grunge turned the party into a funeral. It made the music sad and serious. As a teen I thought they were just old and cranky and just couldn't adapt, but the more I listen to 70s and 80s Rock the more I see their point.

Ahhh yes, Billy. Great reaction. For something completely different, try “Eyes Without a Face” awesome track that shows his versatility as an artist. For another banger, our favourite 80s dance track was (of course) “Dancin’ With Myself”.

This video completely changed the way many people looked at Billy Idol's back up band. They went from "Billy Idol" to "Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens." Steve would eventually go solo with his own band, called "Steve Stevens and the Atomic Playboys."

Atomic Playboys was really good. Steve also did an interesting experimental project called BLS. It stands for Bozzio, Levin, Stevens. Terry Bozzio, the drumming legend and Tony Levin, the bass and Chapman stick legend. The album was called "BLS" for Black Light Syndrome. 😁

THANK YOU. It was obvious that Billy Idol was the alpha of the thing, but Steve Stevens absolutely was the core of the sound.

He's got a very 80's look, here, but I feel that his voice and his music are pretty timeless. Other songs: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face. He had an early 90's hit with Rock the Cradle of Love, which had a rather steamy video.

At a time when MTV was pretty much only playing New Wave stuff, this went hard af, and opened the door for a lot of the heavier stuff like Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister. Steve Stevens is legendary. This song in particular holds up in every way 40 years later, and I still turn it up every time it comes on.

Billy Idol had the most incredible and iconic singing voice to come from here in England with the legendary Freddie Mercury. Billy Idol is a Londoner who was born in London just like me. Billy Idol also starred in some British films and was a very good actor as well but his singing voice is just amazing and iconic. He was one of my favourite singers in the 80's and he came out with some incredible songs such as Rebel Yell, White Wedding and so on. 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

As a little kid, my brother (7yr my SR,) & his friends would be watching MTV in his room all the time. I remember 1st hearing this. Myself & my friends at my house for my bday sleepover. We ❤️ed it! So the next day a group of us kids were yelling ..With a Rebel Yell, we cry more, more, more, in the midnight, more, more, more! 😂 Butchering the lyrics. However the fact that a bunch of us little girls were singing them (lyrics)was hilarious & scary at the same time! My brother yelled (no pun intended..) at all of us, saying don’t you ever let me hear you singing that song again! Oh the awesome 80’s, being a little kiddo was cool. However I wish I could have lived the 80’s as a teenager -adulthood! It 👀 too fun. The 90’s were amazing though. Great reaction btw! 👍 I really love your critique. ✌️

Billy STILL has an amazing voice, and all that energy and attitude. A song that that you might not see a lot of recommendations for because of the album it came from, "Shock to the System." That song will have you moving all over the place. I've always likened Billy to a cross between Sinatra, Elvis, and the entirety of the punk attitude alll stuffed into one man. When he does a ballad, he will MELT you. When he does high energ songs, you are GOING to be moving. And Billy and Steve Stevens (the guitarist) have been together their who career almost. You should check out some of his newer stuff. "Save Me Now, "One Breath Away," "Cage" just came out a couple of years ago and it's an absolute banger, and "Bitter Taste" is a one that just came out. That one is about his motorcycle accident that really messed him up back when the video for "Cradle of Love" was released. It's why he's only shown mostly neck up on a tv screen.

The iconic red vest, the best sneer in rock since Elvis. An underrated voice. A friend and I got to see him in a small venue concert in Vegas in 2017. It was in a House of Blues, so we're all surrounding the center stage, only 20 or 30 feet from him. I swear he looked in better shape then than in the 80s. Dude was shredded, an energetic powerhouse and put on a 2 hour performance of hit after hit from his entire career. Two of his (in my opinion) best songs are often overlooked, Cradle of Love and Eyes Without a Face.

I'm glad u like Billy idol! I grew up listening to him since i was 4, and I'm 41 now. He is awesome and still touring, he has new music out too btw! The album kings and queens of the underground is really good and he did 2 different lp's recently i forget both of their names. This music video for rebel yell was a live performace done in nj. I recommend from his music do reactions to dancing with myself, eyes without a face, cradle of love, to be a lover, hot in the city, white wedding and the live music video of mony mony. The self titled album billy idol, rebel yell and whiplash smile are all great albums, cyberpunk and charmed life were okay but not as good personally.

This song was inspired by one night when Billy Idol was drinking at a bar in New York City with members of The Rolling Stones and they were drinking Rebel Yell whiskey which Billy Idol had never heard of and so they drank Rebel Yell all night and Billy Idol went back to his hotel probably with a girl and then wrote this song
