Hopefully he'll recover in time for the White Wedding.

/have read in previous threads and heard from friend of friend that he still puts on a great show

Apparently he died in 2002 and nobody has had the heart to tell him.

You don't talk to Billy Idol that way!

That coward David Lopan: You don't talk to Billy Idol that way!

That just makes him more awesome.

He just spent the year dead for tax purposes.

BILLY IDOL THREAD REQUIREMENT (new window)

He'll have to walk gently on it for a little while. So it's a nice day for some light treading.

Sweat! Sweat! Sweat!

Great! Now he'll stop dancing in a circle!

Awesome.

He's just channeling Tiny Tim so he can do another Christmas Album.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
Hangin' out by the state line,
Turnin' Holy water into wine,
Drinkin' it down oh,
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books, tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers...

I bet he'll have to wear one of those velcro shoes until the swelling goes down. You know, the kind of shoe that ties without a la-ace la-ace la-ace la-ace.

He looks like a movie villain from the 80's...

I had no idea that Billy Idol did that song...

Apparently, he also loves waking up in his barf.

Billy Idol is possibly the luckiest man in the music industry.

First, he hooks up with the Bromley contingent on the cusp of the UK punk explosion.

Then he manages to find this guy



for his solo band seemingly out of nowhere (the only other thing he'd recorded on up to then was a Peter Cris solo album - and everyone knows how much the Kiss solo albums sucked)

/I think only Porl Thompson is a more underrated guitarist than Steve Stevens.

Steve Stevens wrote the guitar riff motif for "Top Gun".

. o O (Toes without a foot?)

Snapper Carr: Then he manages to find this guy

There's a bird on that guy's head, your argument is invalid.

Fix? Not cutting it off and replacing it with a super-prosthesis?

That's not very

of him.

Is it the same foot he almost lost in another motorcycle accident 21 years ago?

/Billy, stay off the bikes from now on, m'kay?

Snapper Carr: Then he manages to find (Steve Stevens) for his solo band seemingly out of nowhere (the only other thing he'd recorded on up to then was a Peter Cris solo album - and everyone knows how much the Kiss solo albums sucked)

Yyyeah, as a longtime Kiss fan I'm gonna have to ask you a.) for a citation, and b.) to fark off. : )

Here's a non-wikipedia citation (new window)

The song he's featured on (new window) - skip to around 1:49 to hear Steve's really tasteful guitar work.

Album was recorded a few months before Billy Idol's first album.

/Love me some old makeup wearing/original lineup era KISS but defending the solo albums? C'mon. The only good one of the bunch was Ace's 1978 solo debut.

Dancing with myself.

/no matter how shiatty I feel, it gets me in a good mood.

Not as big a deal as surgery to correct eyes without a face.

Ah, ok, but see, your post confused me. When you mentioned "how much the solo albums sucked," I assumed you were saying that Stevens appeared on Peter's 1978 album. Which sounded odd.

I have Out of Control, but it never motivated me to seek out Let Me Rock You. (Thanks for the link, though.)

And FINALLY-- Paul Stanley's 1978 album is extremely underrated. That is a damn fine hard rock record! Gene's and Peter's, I'll grant you- meshuga, but Paul's and Ace's taken together? Good stuff.

Gen X needs to get back together and tour.
