Wow. He looks stunning in that suit. He has a wonderful crooning voice, it'll be interesting to see what this record sounds like.
 
Is this a wind up? Please tell me it is!
I got into punk as a spotty 16 year old after watching Generation X on Tiswas miming very badly to King Rocker. It was so bad it HAD to be good!
But please someone tell me this is a super imposed picture.....

Billy Idol was never punk. He was always a corporate manufactured act.

This is what they do when the money's run out.
 
This is disgusting.... Can't believe I was a fan at one point in time.....

Yes Billy Idol the solo artist was nicely manufactured. Interestingly he was massive in the States before he was in the UK - the Americans like that kind of punk, nice and friendly with a hint of middle class rebellion in it!

But his punk credentials in Generation X (and Chelsea before that) are beyond question, as a part of the Bromley Contingent along with Siouxsie Sioux and Steve Severin etc he was well involved.

Ha,
Thanks for that info.
I'll have to check it out. I seen him at the old venue, the Tradewinds (before it was torn down). He's awesome. Remember him in the movie, The Wedding Singer?!
 
The UK dates last year were great - he played about two and half hours - sheer fun.
