Brad's weakness is when Lex goes crazy or is having fun... He cracks that smile and gets out of his own head.. I love seeing that! Lex is the cutest and most fun KZfaqr to watch!

Yes, this was awesome! Eyes Without A Face is a must listen!! One more thing. Billy Idol is just as much fun to watch as he is to listen to so don't rob yourselves of the whole effect this man bring to you!!!

80's clubbing was awesome ,all these great bands and dance music. I remember all the guys singing the "With a rebel yell, she cried" and then the girls would scream "MORE,MORE,MORE" . seeing several thousand people at the club doing this in unison made those nights even more memorable.

Billy can still sing the way he did when he was in Generation X. So good live.

Really have to see him in action! Try Mony Mony, White Wedding, or anything really! So fun!

Billy Idol is great,a mix of rock n roll,punk,new wave and pop of the 80's,had a lot of hits. His guitarist,Steve Stevens,is fantastic too.

Billy was unique in the sense that he brought punks and rockers together at the time. Something similar to what Tool did later on (and I'm paraphrasing Maynard), bringing fans of The Cure and Ozzy together. Just saw Billy and Steve on Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, performing a new tune, Bitter Taste. Still Billy, through and through.

in the eighties they discovered "Gated Reverb" and applied into all recordings and used it on snare drums. Thats why all the drums sound like "techno"

The official video really gives life to this song. You need to see Billy performing this for the whole experience Seriously

This song was inspired by Rebel Yell Whiskey. He was partying with the Stones and saw Keith Richards drinking it,and told him he was going to write a song called Rebel Yell and he did.

Good Lord this brings back memories. Saw Billy live when I was in High School. The friggin Cult opened for him. Someone threw a beer bottle at him during the show….hit him directly in the forehead. He pressed on with blood gushing from his head. Dudes for real. The Cult rocked too. 🤘🏻

Billy was one of them dude's back in the 80's, extremely popular and on heavy rotation on Mtv back when it was great. Dancing with Myself is a classic high energy track by Billy..hard not to groove to that one

White Wedding was the first song I remember from him...I was addicted immediately! Eyes Without A Face is a must too!

You two are awesome! The other day I watched......I dunno 3 - 4 hours of your content, straight, and was throughly entertained. You both have such incredible and positive attitudes. Keep up the great work!!!!

Billy Idol was punk rock, new wave. Dance-punk. He didn't have long hair. He had short, spiky, colorful hair 😆. Which is common in that genre. That's synthesizer you hear sometimes in the background. Many of us growing up liked Billy Idol music back in the days.

One of my fave Steve Stevens guitar solos. Simple, short and powerful with that phaser effect at the end of the fourth and eighth measures. Just awesome.

Nice, Billy is awesome 👌. His guitarist Steve Stevens is pretty famous too. Played for a lot of different people, movie soundtracks, all sorts of stuff. Dude can play.

So many great Billy Idol songs. “Flesh for Fantasy”

Steve Stevens is a greatly underrated guitarist. He also had one of the craziest "80s hair" styles. Google a pic of him from back then.

I was friends with the Drummer when I was about 12 years old…We had a band called Never 2 Young…He played several instruments & was a gifted musician…Tommy was a cool dude…Brooklyn was such an awesome place to grow up…

listen to eyes without a face by billy. its the anthem for the year 2020. everyone has eyes but no face with the mask on.

Billy was actually a fully fledged Punk Rocker before he went pop. Oh, I just had an idea...Prodigy.

Literally just saw him live last night, still sounds great

Saw Billy Idol in the late 90's at a free outdoor show....He was just coming back after a few years of not performing......ONE of the greatest shows ever. Billy and Stevie Stevens are exceptionally talented.

You guys should really check out the music video for this song- it's a real classic 80s video that stands up very well today.

One of my faves of the 80's, my band played it back in the day - as others have suggested, the music video adds extra layers of awesomeness!

I will always remember the first time I heard him, the song was White Wedding, and I was hooked.

This is one of those songs you have to watch the live version of.

Billy!! For another great 80's anthem try "She Sells Sanctuary" by the Cult.

Great song...."Eyes without a Face" next please!!!!

this is one of the those songs that while in the car you have to turn the volume up and put all the windows done

Great memories surrounding this great iconic track from Billy Idol. and you know what, Billy's STILL rocking!!!!

'Rebel Yell' was apparently I kind of whiskey Billy liked, and that's where he got the idea for the song

Guys you really need to SEE these performances so amazing to watch Billy Idol. He's such a performer.

You two are quickly becoming my favorite"reactors". I love how you guys are so positive on most of what you react to, and I love Lex's smile when the harder music comes in, not to mention the fact she's so damn cute.

Imagine being 13 years old and the heaviest music you're used to hearing at the time is The Police (great band!), Steve Miller (Abracadabra), and maybe the odd oldie like Stairway to Heaven or something by The Beatles or Stones. You're too young and mainstream to have gone through punk, although you may have seen a few older people with the various punks styles. Then, one day on the radio you hear this. You're 13, and so you understand exactly what it means when he sings she's pumping on the floor at midnight yelling "More, more, more!", but you dare not talk about it, and it's just a song to everyone anyway. This was really cool and my gateway to the rest of Billy Idol's catalogue, including what he did with his band Generation X. He kept up the good music throughout high school for me, and was my first rock concert, with opening act The Cult. Growing up in a very strict household, I was lucky to have gone to this concert, but somehow it happened. I went with a couple of guys from school - The Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, 1987. The great thing is he also came out with a live version of Mony Mony which was recorded in Vancouver, and he mentioned the city. As a kid, to hear your hometown shouted out by a rock god was pretty incredible.

Billy Idol is a British Icon from the 80s and can still rock today. You would love 'Mony Mony' by him

We used to tear up the dance floor to this back in the day.More punk rock,dance rock and new wave songs,please!

"You better get outta my way Billy, you're gonna get hurt." You guys should watch "The Wedding Singer" if you haven't seen it. Billy's in it.

Seen Billy idol in concert opening for Def Leppard. Two great bands, one of the best concerts ever.

The techno sound is actually synthesizers. A lot of 80s music was synthesized. The Techno sound usually refers to the music from the 90s

More ! More ! More Billy Idol !!! " Dancing with myself oh-oh, dancing with myse-elf... " :)

@ 8:50 Brad still cant stop swaying. I have to admit that I severely underestimated Brad. As he feigns confusion, disinterest and constipation he is actually leading the pack by design. Thats pure genius.

A rebel is "yeeeee-hawwwwww!!!!" There was also a brand of whisky named "Rebel Yell". It's been renamed just "Rebel", the owners wanted to distance it from the Confederacy of the Civil War. The story goes Billy Idol got the idea for the song after drinking Rebel Yell for the first time at a backstage event with Mick Jagger, Ronny Woods and Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones..

Steve Stevens with his cool guitar playing. Awesome duo!

Should have watched the actual video tbf to see Billy. But glad you reacted to this tune x It's a banger

Great reaction and Billy is the MAN! White wedding, Eyes without a face, Money Money...all good songs.

I saw Billy Idol in concert back in the 80s he was fantastic and still is today.. to bad you could not put on the original video..

White wedding is a good one by him as well

Yeah Brad, they invented synths and electronics on Keyboards and just flooded everything with it. Billy Idol was huge in the UK back in the 80s.

Lex once again gets her motor going, Brad analyzing a rock anthem to death. Yup, they’re perfect together.

I just started watching, but when you said it's your first time hearing anything Billy Idol, I'm predicting Lex is gonna feel all of this! Because this encapsulates the 80s.

First, Brad, you're talking about the synthesizer sound for the 80's rock. Yes, that was a staple in that music. Next, for those of you love this song, you should ABSOLUTELY check out the Billy Idol acoustic version with just his guitarist. The guitarist blows it away, and Billy's performance is awesome as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7B1Y9Wfzs6-YnU.html The version of White Wedding is even better than the Rebel Yell performance.

Now I MUST see your reaction to The Cult. Another 80's band that flew under the radar for awhile and then...BOOM! They got BIG. I would suggest to start with either, Rain, She Sells Sanctuary, Love Removal Machine or Wild Flower. After that... Check out Fire Woman. LOVE your reactions, GREAT content ALWAYS. Keep up the good work! \m/

My favorite song to kill at Karaoke. You can interpret KILL anyway you want, lol. Love Billy Idol and Steve Stevens on guitar. Great reaction.

I saw Billy Idol live in concert in 1986! The Cult opened up for him.

"rock the cradle"!!!🔥🔥🔥

This needs to be played in a car while driving on the freeway, top down, 70 mph. Or faster. Which will happen eventually anyway.

Oh I wish you would’ve watched the video to this…then you’d know what he’s talking about “don’t mess up his hair”…Billy Idol went the other way from typical 80’s rocker hair, with his spiked hair🤘🏼 So awesome😎

One of the best 80's songs! I LOVE BILLY IDOL!

Catch my Fall is an underrated song by Billy Idol. He’s the epitome of an 80s artist.

As a latin man in those 80's, I can tell you we never danced to any rock songs back in the day. Dance music was extremely different in my area. Rock was great but not something to dance to. A good amount of the LA Socal dance music was to a different beat back then.

Love Bill! "Dancing with myself" totally awesome song!

Billy Idol !!!! That's one crazy dude hahaha love it. I seen him in Brooklyn NY in the early 80s at a rock club and he puts on a awesome awesome show. He really does have a lot of great songs. His personal life story is a insane.

I love him, he has so many other great songs. Eyes Without A Face, Mony Mony, White Wedding, Dancing With Myself, Hot In The City, Sweet Sixteen...

Lex SLAYS me with her reaction to guitar play! I "Ooh ho!" right along with her, lol! You gotta do Mony Mony, or White Wedding. But watch him, you can't miss out!

"Eyes without a face" is another great song from him.

YeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaa. Billy was great live and regularly said at his shows ‘anyone sitting down will be thrown out’

I don't know what a "rebel yell" sounds like but I do know the Lex "ooooh" is the best ooooh on Yoooo Toooob.

First, this is freaky. I was thinking about this song today. Second, according to the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War, no one knows what the original Rebel Yell sounds like. It was never recorded and lost to time. Supposedly it was blood-curdling though.

This one really benefits from watching the video. It's a concert video, and he's an incredible performer, incredible energy.

Can't tell you how much enjoyment I get seeing you liking my gens music! The 80's were a magical time... its hard to get how wonderful time it was to folks who were born later etc... It was our time!

Billy is better seen. I don't think he'd block it.

Brad, If you like these drums in an 80s sound, I wonder what you would think of Adam Ant. Both Billy Idol and Adam had a punk background. That's why they sound more raw and less techno than a lot of 80s bands.

Billy is a living legend!!! Rebel yell is a CLASSIC!!

From back when MTV was the shit.

Can y'all please do Mushroomhead - QWERTY I think y'all both will enjoy that song in particular! Then do Solitaire Unraveling next, but one at a time of course lol

The acoustic live version is sensational. I love her reaction. I was lucky enough to see him live. and yes he does look just as good.

he had that same rock/dance feel like prince! it was a beautiful time to be young irl

Please! Please! Please!. Try out "MOTHER'S FINEST - Baby Love - Live At Rockpalast" The best Funk Rock band there ever was, and a great part of my rock and roll past.

Nothing electronically generated here. The 80’s made music. That synthetic crap came in the 2000’s. Don’t lump that crap on us!!

Billy Idol was one of the very few in 'The Second British Invasion' that really rocked.

My mothers all time favorite song, and she put me onto it. And I’ve been addicted to him and his music since childhood now. I’m a 90s baby, but this is my type of music all day lol.

B&L, thanks for reacting to Billy, he's been my favorite artist since back in the Generation X days. He has tons of great songs, and I hope you revisit him soon. And, for all my fellow Billy Idol fans out there, be sure to check out Billy's KZfaq channel where you can find the album he just released. KEEP ROCKIN', BILLY!

Billy Idol really put out a huge number of top charting songs - it's well worth you hearing and seeing more of his stuff.

Watching The Official Music Videos Is A Must,, So That You Can See Him Perform,, It Definitely Adds To The Vibe/Impact Of His Music.

Billy Idol has the best growl in rock music.

So this is from the new wave era and it's got a danceable hard rock feel to it. You'll find that new wave crossed a lot of genres.

Billy Idol came from mid-seventies punk band "Generation X" and carved himself a nice solo career starting early eighties. He had/has charm and a good stage presence and an ability to write catchy tunes, so, hey, a good recipe for success.

Billy started in a punk band in the 70s called Generation X, then in the 80s started his solo career that has had many phases. He recently put out a new album. Still going strong. Sounds better than ever. Billy Idol is one of those artists I classify as unfairly good. His creative output is unreal.

Loving your takes on my old stuff. Yeah, Billy Idol so 80's. Good times!

"But did she REBEL yell?" LOL

Billy Idols Sweet Sixteen is amazing, a favourite of mine for decades, its beautiful! please play and enjoy!

I remember seeing him in a in a concert in N.J. back in the early 1980's Became an Immediate fan! He is still touring!

0:59 LEX GOT A BIG LAUGH AND SMILE OUT OF BRAD. LOVED IT!

Billy Idol was at a party prior to this song . He saw a label on a bottle of whiskey that was called Rebel Yell whiskey . That's how he got the name and some lyrics for the song. We all know what the song is about . Steve Stevens , his lead guitar , helped him with his sound . Idol was a Punk Rocker in the UK , GenerationX.

Lex is a joy to watch...her reactions are priceless!!

1:00 mark usually tells me just how "playfull?" the woman is!😊 She didn't disappoint!😂 She's a keeper😊

I loved Lex's reaction you could she that she loved it the whole way. Put a massive smile on my face as this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

You have to watch the official video. These guys are alot of fun and their audience goes crazy!
