A Billy Idol song that won't disappoint is EYES WITHOUT A FACE ( official video )💗

Billy wrote this song about his real-life sister who got pregnant and (as was still common at the time) got married. A "shotgun" wedding, because the girl was pregnant and thus "had" to get married. He was lamenting that she felt like she had to get married and he didn't think it would last. Ironically, he's been married and divorced twice (I think), but his sister is still happily married.

"Little Sister" refers to his actual sister and her wedding.

Billy idol" cradle of love"

He and Elvis had the 2 best sneers in the business.

"Eyes Without A Face" is Billy at his best. Worth reacting to.

Back in the 80’s we didn’t dig into words and meanings like it is today We mostly just went with the beat 😂

From what I heard bout this song is that it was his actual sister getting married and his protest to it. But my favorite song from him is Fatal Charm

Dancing with myself🤘

🔥 First listen. React to Love Dose by Yo Yo Honey. One of his best raps in my opinion. English translations make it funnier

If you love the 80's, you really should check out "18 & Life", "I Remember You" & "Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row. Also "Wild Side", "Kickstart My Heart" and "Same Ol' Situation" by Motley Crue. Also "Love Ain't No Stranger", "Here I Go Again", "Slow An' Easy" and "Still of the Night" by Whitesnake Also "Kiss Me Deadly" by Lita Ford and "Close My Eyes Forever" by Lita Ford (With Ozzy Osbourne). All bangers! You won't be disappointed.

So many good Billy IDOL songs out there that go far beyond his usual hits. Try these: BLUE HIGHWAY SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM GHOSTS IN MY GUITAR SPEED SCREAM FATAL CHARM MAN FOR ALL SEASONS And also RITA HAYWORTH which is from his newest album just released at the end of 2020 And there are so many more…

Rebel in the 80, we loved him

Billy Idol (William Broad) was in a band at the end of the 70s called Gen X. White wedding was the feature tune on the second album. Idol later resurrected it. I saw Idol live twice. Steve Stevens is the real musician. I've seen and met Idol here in Las Vegas. He is approachable. He looks good for someone in his 60s.

Billy Idol, we were all in love with him back then. 😍

Oh man, Rebel Yell. One of his best songs. Gotta do it.

Great that you're doing more Billy Idol. Eyes without a face next please

Dancing with myself, and in the midnight hour she cries more, more, more!! Excellent songs !! He was great in concert by the way!

I am 65 years old and I drive down the road with this blasting

I think you meant 'little sister' as in younger sibling vs 'lil sistah' as in female homie who may or may not be vertically challenged. So now I must recommend "Dance Little Sister" by Terence Trent D'Arby (aka Sananda Maitreya).

“Sweet Sixteen”, “Eyes without a face” (with videos.) couple more appetizers-?✌️👍🤘🏼

Billy was one of the cool singers

Billy idol . Let’s see there’s “eyes without a face “ , “cradle of love “ “ dancing with myself” flesh for fantasy” “ sweet sixteen”

Billy “Little Person” Idol. Long may he reign. 👑 😂

Dancing With Myself - Billy Idol. Good one.

Little Sister = just referencing his girl.

A shot gun wedding refers to “having” to get married due to a pregnancy.

Not sure what picture you were referring to, but I saw him perform when he was fifty ... And we was buff as hell. Much beefier than in that video. He put on a pretty good show.

🔥🔥 Billy Idol - Mony Mony (Live) (Official Music Video) Another one I think you would like !

You'll love his cover of "Mony mony" or react to the original by Tommy James and the Shondelle version.

A perfect 80s sound

Fun fact about this guy too. He was one of the original "Brixton Crew". The group of friends that started the Sex Pistols and basically punk as we know it.

I've always heard that the "White Wedding" was his return to cocaine use - "It's a nice day to start again..."

"u mean like little person ..." LOLOL That was priceless 🤣😂🤣

SIAP, He wrote the song for his younger sister when she was engaged.

My cousin actually walked down the aisle to this song!🤪

The real plot of this track is that the singer’s ex has just engaged in a “shotgun” wedding. And he is not pleased about it. In fact there is no actual indication that they have even broken up. So throughout the song, he is questioning her concerning this decision. He also presents the world as an unfair, dangerous place from which, via her marriage, she is basically trying to derive some good from. Or as Idol puts it, she is making an effort to "start again."

Dancin' With Myself is another banger.

This got A LOT of MTV play and put Billy on the map in the US. Check out any Billy Idol video, they’re banging. 😁❤️

Loved discovering all these classics playing the popular video game series ROCK BAND 1,2,3 😅

Billy Idol ... My Idol 🤣✌🏻😃🤘🤘

Little sister is like a figure of speech. Kind of like hey baby

This song always had a dark vibe to me. Still does

loved your "little sister or little sister" conversation.. "you mean like a little person" lmfao I was crying bless her. I knew what you meant, actually his little sister or a younger female friend he figuratively calls little sister

please react to Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face

You both should try New Order's Blue Monday. 80's banger

"Catch My Fall" video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

You never see this guy and Spike from 'Buffy the Vampire Slyer' at the same time...makes ya wonder.

Bitter taste is his newest song out thats a good one to do i love these reactions keep them comming

There is nothing sure in this world! So true! Brings back memories.

He wrote this for his actual sister. I know some people seem to be confused in the comments but he himself has stated that's who it is for.

Sister is like saying baby girl or baby doll or chick you know

Omg you had me back in therapy at 3:35. Beside myself again lol

check out The Magic Mike Story" - Gabriel Iglesias

More billy please

Your wtf face is hilarious! Good ol' 80s videos, do it to you every time. 😅

Little person..🤣🤣🤣.... I love it!!!😅.... ya'll too cute 😍!!

Billy is the baddest ever !!

Fire as hell! Billy bring the energy.

I love this song, never saw the video though. Damn. Idk.what was going on. But yeah it not about him married his sister 😒🤔. Just like everyone you call bro or lil bro ismt really your brother. The song is about The girl that's Billy likes getting married and he's jealous. Also please react to the rapper classified. He has a few songs with Royce Da 5'9 and even toured with D12 in 2003 or 2002. Great rapper. Listen to the song that aint classy by Classified

the girl in the video is the mother of his son and his ex girlfriend. the song isnt about a wedding but for his actual sister jane

Little sister like, a leprechaun hahaha. Good stuff, good stuff!

It was inspired by his sister's wedding but he is using the term as slang for a girlfriend.

IDOL !!!

We had karaoke at my wedding reception and my dad sang this song! He was freaking awesome!

Im trying to count how many times you say “know what I’m sayin?”….. lol

He is singing to his real little sister😂. Btw stop making your girl blush 😱😂

check out his previous group generation x

Lmao. I think he's saying "shorty". Just saying "l il sister" lol. Lawd lawd. Lmao

I suggest the song Twilight Zone by Golden Earing. There are a couple of live versions that are really cool. They are longer and have a breakdown the is really dope.

Oh, my take is that he most certainly was talking about his own sister all right (or at least the character he's taking the role of). I can't remember exactly the song's explanation from Billy himself, but it was rather dry. Obviously it has more meaning than what he said. My take is way darker and I'm thinking it's much more perverse. I mean, we're not talking about a choir boy here. He is indeed talking about his little sister and I think the character that he's portraying in the song is one of two kids who grew up rough and had to share a lot of beds together (ah-hum), they're both bad kids now and his sister is all screwed up. She's been married before (hence the sarcastic white wedding) but she's so messed up that it didn't work. The brother has been away but hears about her next marriage and shows up crashing through the church window on his motorcycle to tell her she's just dreaming about leading a normal life with some normal guy. His sexual growling throughout is telling her, look, I'm the only one who's suited for you and I'm the only one you really crave. This dream you have is going to collapse and I'll be around when it does because we both know I'm the only one who can understand you. Him jamming the ring on her finger is an acknowledgement of how he knows his relationship with her is destructive, but so be it. Hey! The whole song just steams with sexuality and darkness. I'm just going where it leads me.

It'd be nice for her to show emotion or even some rhyme love. Run

Banger

Int Interesting reaction since when bile comes out the girl blinks more than necessary, avoiding showing the impression, thus unleashing the smile that she cannot avoid The question would be why would he bite his lip?

Do Empire Of The Sun "Way To Go" "We Are The People" "High and Low" (the videos)

What's wrong with this girl?! Hearing an 80's classic like this and even more, Billy fckng Idol and not even nodding her head????

This Video is Very Goth Rock..p.s.Little Sister is usually a reference to a young girl/woman🧐,common in use,especially in America..Bloke below is Correct..

Good one!

There is a longer version that way better. When you have time you should check it out. Not necessarily for a reaction but just for you guys to hear it.

Looking closely at the video, there are a few scenes when 'sister' is on a hospital surgical table. Shotgun--'havong to get married', nice day to start again-- abortion vs shotgun wedding?

A shotgun wedding.. is a term that means you are forced to get married because you got pregnant or got someone pregnant.. it didn’t necessarily mean some girls father was pointing a gun at you.. but…. It could.. it means , you got her pregnant, you are going to marry her.. you don’t have a choice .. if you don’t, things will go bad for you…lol .. .. your going to get married and your going to to take care of the kids.. .. if not.. dad and uncles and brothers etc.. are going to persuade you

Song is about his little sister

I always thought it was slang for his woman, girl, ol' lady......🤣😂

Little sister, little girl, mama, and my old lady were all just terms of affection for a "legal" age girl.

You should react to Cradle of Love

Yeh

little sister is just a general reference

I think he's talking slang..like 'Yo dude'

You should check out Roxy music, in every dream home. It will freak you out.

Do Hear 'n Aid "Stars"

Means his English thing

great song. do billy idol "eyes wide shut'. and 'bitter taste'.

Nice reaction! You both need to react to his Dancing With Myself video. Billy's music is great. Also, please react to Madonna's music videos, such as, Like A Prayer, La Isla bonita, Hung Up, etc. Thanks!

GREAT Selections for Billy Idol In The Comments -- You cannot go wrong with Billy Idol! Such an 80's ICON!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶

Catch my fall an Sweet sixteen. Two very different songs by Billy ❤

Is saying " you know what I'm sayin" all the time a regional dialect thing ?

Eyes without a face

Try mony mony or flesh for fantasy

simply he is regreting not to take care of his younger sister so he yells out in this fuking awesome tunes.

I've watched a few American reactions to this and there seems to be a theme of misunderstanding it's about Billy marrying his sister. Is the term "Shotgun Wedding" not a thing in America?
