Two genuine icons from two VERY different London genres at the time - the 'new romantic' DD, Gen x 'punk'. John "play that fucking base John" Taylor and William "Billy Idol" Broad. Innovative giants who have gifted the entire world epic music that still today is just mind blowing. Sadly 'Spandau Ballet' although also massive/new romantic genre have been riven with not musical but personal systemic problems. It's hard to split both bands - Idol when he teamed up with Steve "fingers" Stevens has had a solid band in place now for around 11 years, same members/Andrew Taylor tragically no longer part of DD. His guitar work, although not on the level of Stevens [who is universally respected] - but Andy Taylors distinct guitar playing gave DD a unique sound. Thanks for this video upload.

I sold pianos at a music store in New Orleans called Werlein's for Music in the late 90s/early 2000s, and Billy Idol's comments on his Irish heritage (and life before recorded music in general) is a fascinating one for people to consider: I don't know how many people can imagine a time where, if you couldn't personally play something, you simply weren't going to hear it. If your family wasn't playing music in the house, there was no music in your house. Selling pianos by the late 90s was already decades past 'highly anachronistic', but reminding people that, 'before there was radio, tv, LPs, or tapes, humans were gathering around an acoustic piano in homes 100 years ago to celebrate' was not only an effective sales line, it was a fact of reality. I taught piano for 20+ years, and I heard so many people say "I'm not qualified; I'm not good enough to play" because they thought you had to have formal training to be a musician. It's simply not true. You may need talent or experience or training to be the 'best' musician you can be, but (in America at least) the fixation on 'training' undercuts the reality of music. You feel it, you express it, and you can learn techniques to express it even more effectively to others, but if you feel it hard enough you can usually communicate that. Think Charles Ives/Stone Mason Bell or whatever.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this absolute gem! These two, along with a dozen other bands, are the soundtrack to my twenties in the 80s! My two kids have had to listen to 80s music on every road trip growing up. This was a fabulous chat/interview, I'd love to see Billy ask more questions to John next time. If I could've asked a question, it would've been how did DD find Simon? I know there were a few band members cycling through in the early years. I'd love more background on how the band morphed in the early years. The 5-figure hair spray bill had me in stitches. It's amazing they could sing so fabulously with all that sticky residue in the air, lol. I loved all their big hair. John looks 35. He was my crush in the band in the 80/90s and he's still a very talented, grounded, passionate, handsome man. I want to thank DD for one of my all-time favorite songs, Ordinary World. It helped me through grieving my young husband's cancer death. Always wondering where the life I used to recognize went, and always learning to find and survive the Ordinary World. Life's journey. The music from both John and Billy still remains relevant in my life, thank you

He actually does seem a bit shy now that he's older or maybe sober? Idk. His interviews in the 80s are some of the best vids on youtube....he is absolutely hilarious...he says whatever comes to his mind and it is obvious he was not holding back his answers regardless what anyone thought yet he was very intelligent at the same time...unique combo...and i literally felt like i was melting looking at him. His eyes and lips and expressions..Simply Gorgeous

😊 Love this interesting talk and Billy's lively way - with moving hands and all face muscles alive - of looking back on music history, how he got the idea for "WHITE WEDDING" ,about his favourites and what his personal nature is like..a shy man reading a lot . Which may surprise some people watching him just on stage - as a loud, self- conscious dancing singer with rebellious songs, often in hard rock rhythm 🥁

Yes, I agree, Billy Idol is shy. When I met him at the meet and greet at the Capitol Theater on Sept. 22, 2021....I was very "enthusiastic" when I said hello to him & told him where I was from..and he just smiled & nooded his head...and I thought, geez he is overcome by my enthusiasm..and he's a bit shy. When I said hello to Steve Stevens he gave me a big hello back, he's not shy at all and very cool.

I wouldn't change that part of my life for anything. I saw so many great bands as a child. The misfits, idol, motley crew, Ramones, Sex Pistols, the clash, the dead Kennedys, Duran Duran, to Tina Turner. It was epic part of my life and seeing the Smith's!
