He should be still kicking - I don't think he's more than a few years older than I am, if as old.

Frank, I have Kiss Me Deadly,the album,on vinyl.
I was going to work one day and Dancing With Myself came on the radio...didn't know the name of the song or the band,but I walked into work singing the refrain...and the dishwasher said something like"oh,you like Generation X huh?"
Went out and bought the album the next day.

My favorite Billy Idol song

Billy Idol - White Wedding Pt 1 - YouTube

Billy Idol is awesome, I just wonder why such an awesome guy is always dancing with himself?

I lost count of the times I played Rebel Yell....liked his version of LA Woman and The Cradle Of Love

Also remember the time the audio failed in Oz for one of his pre game performances!

I found this on Wikipedia... "William Michael Albert Broad (born 30 November 1955), better known by his stage name Billy Idol"

So he is 56 years old now. He's such a young thing, but he is older than Paul Myers and Willie Crawford.

That's okay, I'm older than Gorday Jay, gjabiz.

:-Don

Don, your close but your math is off. That would make him 57

Love Billy Idol, but here's my FAVORITE thing about him- Stevie Stevens!

Love this guy, if you have never taken the time to get to know about him and you love deep musicians- He's worth looking into!

By the way, does anyone know why I cant embed you tube videos any more?

John, the embedding seems to be off and on lately, it will in one post but then wont in the next,don't know what's going on their,but your right, Stevie Stevens was a big part of what made him sound so great.

One of my favorite Billy Idol urban legend stories is this..
Now,I'm paraphrashing and accessing a seldom used part of my internal harddrive.

Idol was in studio with Gen X, and either Zepp, the Who, the stones or one of the UK living legends were recording in the same studio, When introduced, Idol gnashed his teeth and said with the typical Idol snarl,
"F-OFF, you bloody dinasours!"
