Tribute to Billy Idol

Post by Winnow »

Billy's such a badass. He made great music and made great videos during the early years of MTV.

Here's my YouTube tribute!

Billy in his later years singing Rebel Yell with just his lead guitarist. Worth a look just to see Steve Stevens guitar work:

Acoustic version of Rebel Yell

Original Rebel Yell video

I'd sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn for you
I'd give you all, and have none babe,
Justa, justa, justa, justa to have you here by me

Because

In the midnight hour she cried, more, more, more
With a rebel yell, more, more, more

Billy Idol - Cradle of Love

Possibly the best video ever.

Billy Idol - White Wedding

The song that kicked off his career. This video was way before its time in the early 80's. Fist pumping Billy! The audio's a little low. Crank it up!

Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself

A song about masturbating although most didn't know it was!

Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face

His best slow song. Powerful. Can't believe it's been 24 years since this was released. Such a great video/song.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you.

For some reason, when I clicked this I thought it was going to be a joke.

That acoustic version of Rebel Yell is pretty awesome!
