Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
Billy Idol is BACK!!!!!!!!!!
Thank freekin god!!!!!!!!!!
His first release "Scream" is really working well for the girls on stage right now,im even getting a good response from custies who all know the voice,but have never heard the song before!!
Its classic Idol style with the pulse beat and gutty voice.You can almost see his lip curl and his right arm jab to the beat when ya hear it.
I have not seen a recent pic of him,does he still have the haircut??
Im surprised the music industry didnt give his album release bigger fan fare,it was almost slid in behind our backs.Is it even getting airplay on radio or MTV???I have not heard it on either??
I would think MTV would have been all over his return,his early video's,with his ground breaking sound and look,helped put them on the map.
I think they are wrong,I think this cd will do much better then they expected,specially within our industry.
Its not the best Idol song,but its a DIFFERENT Idol song,and thats good enough for me!!!!
Give it a listen,hope it brings mucho yen.

I dig "Scream", but haven't picked up the whole cd yet. And yes, He was in Spin last month and he still has the 'do.
Re: Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
ok trivia help...
What was the band he was in before going solo,what was thier one hit wonder hit??
I know i got it on record,i used to play it alot,but for the life of me,i dont know where to start looking.
My brain keeps turning up"the Runaways"when i do a search,but my alter ego knows thats joan jets old band.
I think i stumbled onto another burned up brain cell of mine.Who would have known i would have ever needed it again when i deleted it with a drug habbit in the mid 80's-90's.lol
can anyone help???

I'm trying to remember what their actual "hit was. I liked the whole album as a teenager. "King Rocker" was good, so was "Ready Steady Go" and "Kiss Me Deadly". I Think "Your generation" was a single, and I know the original version of "Dancing with Myself" was them, before he did it solo. Also, tony james was in GenX, he later of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Sisters Of Mercy, etc etc.

I got to see Billy Idol when I was in Myrtle Beach at the House of Blues. He was amazing! He's got to be about 50 and he's still rockin' the leather pants and no shirt look! Fuckin' Hot!
And the music was good too!
Re: Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
That is so cool! I love Billy Idol. I used to dance to Rebel Yell and Cradle of Love all the time and they both worked very well!
Re: Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
Yep, that Stevie Stevens guitar solo in "Rebel Yell" always makes my day. Makes me want to go jump on someone's whammy bar (heh heh.)
Re: Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
I've danced to some of his songs before. He's good! I hope his new release is good and if so, welcome him back into the music industry with open arms!!
Re: Giving a L.A.woman,a rebel yell,at her white wedding.The real American idol!!
I'd say he looks almost better now then before. But then I always did have a thing for father figures!
Still got the blonde hair (Has anyone here seen clips of "your generation" when he was still dark?)
And the growl and fire is still there without the messed up drugs !
His management and record companey are accused of not pushing his come back well enough and his next tour is roumerd to be in Europe mostely.(grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)!
Heck, when He came through to the nearest big city where I live I NEVER found out from the major parmortiers . ( Double grrrrrrrrrrr)!
That's all I really know .Oh and Gwen Mullen is stillhis stilylist.
