	Billy Idol
		Along with Duran Duran, Billy Idol was one the first pop/rock artists to achieve massive success in the early '80s due to a then brand-new U.S. television network, MTV.
		Billy Idol spent the next few years working on his fourth studio release, but reappeared in the summer of 1989 as part of an all-star rendition of the Who's Tommy, with Idol playing the role of the sadistic character Cousin Kevin.
		Idol teamed up once again with Stevens, was the subject of a VH1: Behind the Music special (as well as a Storytellers episode for the channel, which was ultimately issued as a CD), and issued a more extensive Greatest Hits set in 2001; the latter of which sold 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone.

	Billy Idol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Billy Idol (born William Michael Albert Broad on 30 November 1955 in Middlesex, England) is an English hard rock musician.
		Idol did not release a new album until 1986; Whiplash Smile sold very well and proved to be a smash, including the hits "To Be A Lover," "Don't Need A Gun," and the Country-flavored "Sweet Sixteen." Stevens soon left for a solo career and Idol continued.
		Idol also filmed a live DVD at the Congress Theatre in Chicago on July 28, 2006, where his most dedicated fans braved 100 degree heat to attend the show.

	Rough Edge: Billy Idol CD Reviews
		Billy Idol is back after too many years of silence and he's back in a big way.
		Billy Idol is one of those artists who you don't know who to categorize as punk rock, hard rock or (gasp!) new wave.
		Idol's blend of punk, blues and rockabilly truly shines on this CD and the 24-bit digital remastering brings them all to life again.

	Billy Idol
		Billy Idol represents the bridge between punk rock and hard rock/metal, a logical enough connection that somehow seemed unlikely until he made the transition.
		Idol left Sussex University in 1976 to join the punk movement, specifically the group of rabid Sex Pistols fans called the Bromley Contingent.
		Billy proved he still has some bad boy in him when his mic starting cutting out he threw a huge tantrum, hurling his non-working mic and a lot of curses at the techies, flinging a mic stand across the stage, and kicking a fan and amp out of his way repeatedly.

	BILLY IDOL SHOW REVIEW : MUSICFRISK.COM
		Indeed, Billy Idol, were he to record some of the new and quite interesting songs he showcased with much energy like "Man in a Killbox" or "Stranger in my Skin" that received great fan response at this show would be hard pressed to get radio airplay for them in today's environment.
		This lack of radio presence makes the choice of no opening band all the more surprising, there are many young and upcoming artists that would give their right arm to play in front of a Billy Idol audience and they would bring in some fans there that otherwise would not attend the show.
		It also makes Billy Idol a unique entity that amazingly has never been ripped off or properly replicated - virtually all of the bands roaming around in the early 21st century that are considered punk would be blown off the stage in a guitar contest with Steve Stevens.

		When Billy was 3, his father moved the family to Long Island, NY, to "find the American dream," as Billy puts it.
		Billy took that as his name, but changed it to "Idol", so not to be confused with actor Eric Idle.
		Idol first burst onto the world music scene in the mid-'70s as lead singer of the British punk band Generation X. When he saw that the punk movement was stagnating, Idol left London and relocated to New York.

	Chaos Control Digizine : Billy Idol
		The electronics have enabled Idol to re-embrace the DIY ethic of the punk era and come up with his best album is years.
		Idol does not allow himself to be overcome by the electronics, as all of the songs on Cypberpunk would be strong enough to stand up with more traditional instrumentation.
		Idol's fascination with technology does not end with the music, as he is also put out a limited edition Cyberpunk computer disk and is getting into computerized video.

		In the '80s, Idol took punk's bad-boy attitude and merged it with the pop accessibility ofnew wave to produce a stream of huge hits.
		All of Idol's biggies are included here, and when they're gathered together in one place, they serve as a reminder of just how strong his popcraft was.
		REBEL YELL was the peak of Billy Idol's career, although he did have other major hits afterwards like "To Be A Lover," "Cradle Of Love" and his knife-edged remake of the Doors classic "L.A. Woman." In the early '90's he crashed his Harley and nearly lost his leg--and his life--in the process.

		Probably all you really need to know about Billy Idol is this: When he refers to his "body of work," he's really talking about the work it takes to get his body.
		There is something to be said for consistency, and the fans in the nearly sold-out theater appreciated not having the memories messed with, but Idol also wants to be seen as relevant, and to that end he's put together a fine band that adds some gleaming modern textures to the music.
		Idol's abs may be tight enough to bounce quarters on, but his show is showing its paunch.

		Billy Idol, embarked on a solo career and released his eponymous solo debut.
		Idol's crooning is a far cry from "Your Generation," to be sure.
		It also serves as a nice prelude to the final track, which is a familiar one-none other than Billy Idol's song with Generation X, "Dancing With Myself." It's by far the hardest driving track on here, a replacement for "Congo Man" that was on the original.

		The first is that, as this is Billy Idol's first album in over a decade, there's the implication that the world's original cuddly punk popster was releasing albums well into the 1990s (who knew?).
		The second is that Billy Idol, as the aforementioned cuddly punk popster, actually had a lot more in common with 80s American poodle rockers like Bon Jovi and Motley Crue than anything to do with the UK's punk scene.
		The third (and arguably most important) is that Mr Idol has quite a mischievous sense of humour--the lyrics for "Plastic Jesus" and "Yellin' at the Christmas Tree" are genuinely funny, and not in an ironic, so bad they're good, way.

	Billy Idol
		The opening song “Super Overdrive” was quite fitting, as Billy and Steve have showed no signs of slowing down in the least.
		Steve Stevens, who has been Billy’s songwriting partner throughout his career and string of platinum-selling albums in the 80’s is an undeniable talent that has flown just under the radar, and though it may seem he stands Billy’s shadow, he appears to be happiest there.
		Like two great tastes that taste great together, Billy and Steve have come to realize that making and performing music together is a formula not to be tampered with.

		Billy Idol can laugh about his ridiculous success in the Eighties, when he ruled MTV with "White Wedding," "Rebel Yell" and "Dancing With Myself." "I played on the same bill with Bob Dylan where he supported me," says Idol, 49, from his home in Los Angeles.
		Idol nearly died after a 1990 motorcycle crash, put out a dismal album, Cyberpunk, in 1993, and nearly died again after a drug overdose in 1994.
		Now, all cleaned up, Idol is unleashing Devil's Playground, with its single, "Scream," and hitting theaters and clubs around the country beginning this month.
