I remember seeing Billy Idol for the Rebel Yell tour in 1985 in St. Louis. It was a crazy good concert! His keyboardist was so wasted they had to carry her onto the stage, lol! I was a young teenager and modeled myself after Billy! I went to a high school in the country and was the only guy that had shock white spiked hair and was into him and punk rock and industrial music. It was a crazy time! Long live Idol!

Very articulate, intelligent, humored, with a great perspective on effects of music and his own intent. Genuine mix of humble and ballet. Pretty and masculine, boyish and manly, renaissance meets punk. God bless you billy then and now. Love Steve Steven's and his guitar too. They look so different but their alchemy was fantastic- Billy's voice and raw masculine voice and body... with Steve's guitar and feminine make up, classy duds. Wonderful duo and both seemed such nice guys, lads, gentlemen.

I'll never understand why so many people think punk rockers or rockers are stupid. Most are highly intelligent and I think they knew this and tried at every level to discredit their role in life. Billy was cool with pretty much every group in school. Punks, jocks, average children whatever. I can't even remember how many times I saw him live but I will never forget the first time. 8 year's old screaming rebel yell. My dad played in a band so I saw a lot of cool shows.

Billy Idol is the Elvis Presley of punk rock. He embodies the rebellious and fearless spirit of late 70s punk mixed with the magnetic dancing performances of the mid 50s rock n’ roll era. The fact that he chose Steve Stevens as his guitarist also gave him a melodic heavy metal/hard rock edge. This unique combination of styles contributed to his success and authenticity.

Billy had great energy very passionate about each song but the videos also had a lot to do with music in general becoming so popular. Television did a lot for the music industry. Molly Meldrum and countdown was fantastic. Billy idol rebel with a heart very confident and intelligent. 💛💛💛💛💛
