It’s the spring reverb built into the bottom of the guitar amp - - in the pre-digital FX days, a physical spring that ‘echos’ the sound being put into it. But if you kick the amp (or accidentally knock the amp over as I often did), the spring goes crazy and makes that ‘laser sound’. For those of us who remember it, it didn’t make us think of lasers, it made us think "Steve Stevens will STOP AT NOTHING!".

Back in the day, it used to be a thing to have lip synch contests in clubs. *Every* guy came dressed as Billy Idol. I’ve seen guys of all shapes and colors do Billy Idol. Hysterical. Thanks for bringing back the memory. I almost unsubscribed so I could subscribe again but I was good and liked it instead. Keep up the good work!

"I don't really like the 80s stuff". Alex you say that all the time but yet you do like a fair amount of songs. Perhaps you just have not heard enough?

@scottboswell6406 3 жыл бұрын

I hope that, between Billy Idol and The Police, he'll at least soften that opinion.

Alex's own music totally sounds 80s too. It's hilarious.

Yeah I have been trying to decipher that for awhile. I think he means he doesn't like over the top cheesy computer overproduction, and the 80's is where we first see wide usage of computers introduced into production, but for every bad 80's sample, there are probably an equal number of great examples of production that worked out. The first time I heard him say it was for Yes, "Owner of a Lonely Heart", but what he doesn't realize is that the album 90125 brought Yes to an entire new generation of listeners and had some other great songs.

There was some great music in the eighties as well as some crappy music. I guess you can say that for every decade though.

When Steve Stevens talks about recording this, he said they had to wait to record it until Scandal was finished down the hall. Their drummer had the unique, pound the hell out of the drum kit sound that Stevens felt the song needed. So they borrowed him. Nope, Steve did not cut out the guitar and insert a laser sound. Steve used a toy ray gun on the guitar strings.

This is probably my favorite Billy Idol song and from my day. He was king of the Punk Rock genre and you could do the 80's dance to it perfectly (now called The Carlton Dance lol). The video to this song is so much fun to watch between him and his lead guitar, Steve Stevens. My other favorite is his great cover of, "Mony, Mony". Great reaction again, guys!

I was happy to see this when I logged on to the computer this morning. I knew you'd both like it. Now that you've heard it when you have a minute you should watch him on video. His personality is so unique. If you want something a little different, Eyes Without a Face or Flesh for Fantasy are two great songs. If you want something a bit like this song, try Rock the Cradle of Love.
