Classic Billy with a modern sheen. This is going to get high rotation at my house this weekend!

Such a great song 👍

He’s still got it!

Good stuff, Thanks for the link:)

Great song, he's still got a fine voice and his band is tight and has that badass bluesy/rock sound

The video is AWESOME!
This is how I've pictured Billy for years now...wandering the scrubland, sleeping in shitty motels and sauntering up to stranger's homes at random and shouting shit through the
windows at the puzzled and frightened families within😆

I'm happy Idol is still rocking✊

This is pretty damned good. Thanks for pointing this out....

Negged for posting a link to something you have to have an account to listen to but I will say it's amazing this dude is still going.

I didn’t expect everyone to click on the link, just those who have Spotify and might be keen to check it out.

Personally I couldn’t live without Spotify, great value and only one of two streaming services I pay for (along with Netflix).

reply

Indeed. I'm sure it's great. Frankly I don't care nearly enough about music to pay for a subscription to a music service, but I can see why some might.

On the rare occasion I actually want to crank up some tunes, I either go to YouTube or my MP3 collection. But typically I'm too busy watching movies or listening to podcasts for that.

Yeah I used to easily spend 50-100 bucks a month on CDs back in the day but now they have essentially died I pay $12 a month and get access to everything. It’s a pretty sweet deal for a music lover like myself.

reply

I like Billy Idol back in the day, but this new stuff sounds nothing like "classic" Billy Idol, if there is such a thing, and whoever that is their voice is very weak with no edge to it way down in the mix.

reply

I disagree with pretty much everything you said there but I guess you can’t please everyone!

reply

Song's got no bridge.

reply

Love this!

I like the fact that he's singing with a 'Laandon' accent, lol.

reply

Thought you might like it 😃👍

I love all the (newer) later Billy Idol more than his early classic stuff. He's been on a roll ever since his return to music.

reply

One thing about Billy, especially lately is that he is very innovative with his sound.

reply

He popped up in my random mix the other day and I thought it was David Bowie. That's kinda the vibe he's been on.
