J2112YYZ Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Did? Do? You're right. I think of him as someone in the past, but he's still around. Thank you for the correctionHe's alive! I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking he was dead though. He really takes his time between albums. He's only released three new ones over the last 25 years.

I just wouldn't be surprised if there were people who thought he retired or died though due to the longer periods between albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Long story long... In 2016 we took a road trip from NJ to Las Vegas to see the Rolling Stones. The night before the show The Stones canceled the concert. UGH UGH UGH. The Stones played The Desert Trip concert the week before and Mick's vocals were shot from the dry heat ( or so they said ). What to do ? Our options were (1) Donnie and Marie (2) Elton John and (3) Billy Idol. We decide to sleep on it and decide the next day. We wanted Elton but he was sold out. Donnie and Marie were not in the running so it was Billy Idol. Billy and his band ( Steve Stevens included ) were playing at the House of Blues and we got a table on the floor. WHAT A BLAST !!!!!! So happy we saw Billy. My favorite Billy Idol album You didn't want to see Donny and Marie??? :o And chose Billy Idol instead????? :o :o ;) I've seen Donnie and Marie way too many times. I'm kinda burnt out on them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) My latest thing is getting to know the man/men behind the music. In case anyone else is interested, here's a Billy documentary. If you know of a better one, let me know. I already suspected someone packaged him, but he wouldn't have gone anywhere if he hadn't been talented. http://youtu.be/h7pahwuCDu8 One of the best VH1 Behind The Music episodes ever.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Did you like him or not? http://youtu.be/4MxYTYYIRYA :musicnote: Say your prayers... :musicnote: :) Jeez L I flew to Vegas to see him and Steve Stevens at the House Of Blues three years ago. I love him. It's not just Billy Idol, it's a duo for me. Steve Stevens is one of the greatest guitar players on the Earth.They have an amazing chemistry together. I love them both. My daughter goes to Cal State Monterey.I was able to drive down to see my amazing daughter for a nice dinner out in downtown Monterey. Then she went back to college and I saw Billy and Steve together acoustic. All I wanted was "Blue Highway" but I didn't didn't get it. Regardless, it was an amazing show. After the gig I snuck out to their tour bus. Saw Billy and Steven scamper in. Told them both I loved them. They hopped on the bus and ordered pizzas. I live for ROCK. I will die rocking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably for the best they didn't do Blue Highway on an acoustic tour. I don't see how the song would work at all with that arrangement.

Probably would have been something like this: ;) By the way, I forgot who it was - Night Ranger? - you are and your Dad were supposed to go see in Vegas this summer. Are you still going?
