This song NEVER gets old ! Came out in 1983 I believe. The energy they bring to the stage is fire🔥. I can’t listen to this song and sit still! I feel like I’m right in that crowd .. it’s impossible to ignore the energy in this performance 🔥🙌🏻

When they played this song live, the whole crowd was singing the lyrics and grooving just like Hollywood is. There was an intermission where the guitarist was the only one on stage, that dude was making his guitar sing, Steve Stevens is an underrated guitarist. These dudes are old and they're still rocking out like they're 20, Billy Idol still has a 6-pack and he's shredded af for an older dude. It was definitely one of the best concerts I've been to, I absolutely recommend seeing Billy Idol live!

Billy Idol and Steve Stevens go together like milk and cookies. You can't have one without the other. It's impossible. Even better, they sound as good now as they did back then, IF NOT BETTER. Aged like fine wines. You should absolutely check out some of their new songs. "Cage," for instance. Just came out a few months ago, and it's an absolutely amazing song. He put out a whole album in 2014, Kings and Queens of the Underground, that started a VERY introspective era for Billy, and it's been that way since. He still rocks hard as hell, still has that punk attitude, and his voice is like butter.

Billy's guitarist Steve Steven's did an outstanding job playing on Michael Jackson's song Dirty Diana. A rebel yell is a battle cry or war "whoop"used by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Also considered a scream of defiance.

Billy Idol I'd classify as more glam rock more than anything. A lot of his songs are about women and partying. He was real popular in the 80s. I'd put him in the same category as Van Halen and maybe Motley Crue. Credit also goes to Billy's long time guitarist of about 40 years or so too. If you do more Billy, White Wedding is what's next. If you guys ever saw the Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, he made a cameo and I think they used this song in the film. Interesting timing,because Billy just received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame recently.

Harvard University is in Cambridge, Massachusetts! Saw Billy Idol in 1987, with The Cult as the opening act. A real fun show, and kinda funny, because one of the spotlights went off as Steve Stevens was in the middle of a guitar solo, and he got pissed off. Steve then went off on a solo frenzy for the rest of the show, to all of our delights. During the U.S. Civil War, the Rebel Yell was a War Cry that Confederate soldiers gave as they began a charge. It gave them courage and scared the Union troops.

In 2018, Idol became an American citizen during a ceremony in Los Angeles, while retaining his British citizenship.[64] In 2020, his daughter Bonnie gave birth to his first grandchild, daughter, Poppy Rebel,[65] and in 2022, another granddaughter, Mary Jane, appropriate! At a televised performance of VH1 Storytellers, Idol said that he had attended an event where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones were taking swigs from a bottle of "Rebel Yell" bourbon whiskey. He was not familiar with the brand, but he liked the name and decided to write the song.[3] The song was co-written by guitarist Steve Stevens. The instrumental introduction, which sounds like a combination of electric guitar and electronic keyboard, is performed by Stevens on guitar alone, who intended it to sound this way. Stevens states that he was inspired by acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke's style.[4]

He and Billy Idol had things in common. They came out at a time when theyre music was a new genre and neither fit in completely. They just came, did their thing and let people call it whatever. I graduated in 84. I was in HS when both came out and loved both. Was a good time to live in America

Billy Idol is a pretty smart dude. He was just a kid in the punk band Generation X. When they split, he was hanging out in New York dance clubs and underground places. He reinvented himself with a plan to mix a bad ass guitarist (Steve Stevens) with a dance beat like the kids were checking out in the clubs. And of course punk attitude. He has a lot of hits and still jamming today with Steve.

The actual rebel yell was used to disorent the Yankees, the geographic forest of the South had the Yankees worried cause rebels could be anywhere and rebels would tell at the top of there lungs and it caused panic, almost the entire war of northern aggression took place in Tennessee and below, you almost have to go through tennessee to get to the supply lines, I've seen several battlegrounds in middle tennessee and they are surrounded by thick forest, gen lee only invaded the north a small amount of times, and the geography Gettysburg is the reason that battle was a slaughter to the confedracy it's a sleep incline and the Yankees had the high ground.
