BILLY IDOL - Live At The Wembley Stadium -London - 1990 

thanks, mom!

God damn true!!!!

TAMMY ☕BILYIDOL

Yah but guess what, he's still as good today, if not better from the right point of view..In the music business, my job is to keep this music going, and it's not always their recorded music..The imperfect side was far more entertaining. Johnny Cash gave us a glimpse of how popular someone can be,, singing highly imperfectly.

Exactly..well said

True,but I HATE that he sells just 4 Songs for a horrible price. HE IS A FUCKING PUNK, he should remember where he comes from ..

Dude is jacked.

Billy ozzy duff slash....just 4 simple names who look really good and healthy these days.

So very true

Considering all the ways he abused his body it's amazing his voice has held up so well. And to think in the 80's Boy George said he was a great entertainer but a lousy singer. And now Boy George doesn't have a voice.

@Aaron Pennick I agree. Boy George was creative with fashion but had little to offer musically. Billy on the other hand also had a good sense of style and a signature look, while being a great singer, performer, and songwriter on top of it.

There isnt any good today 😂😂 their all miming to. He track

He is out of tune here...

you bet!!

Oh my god I want to see those bits. Is there really no video of that?

Yeah bloody loved 'Kings and Queens of the Underground' but I have to be honest and say I haven't kept up much. (Btw know this is an ancient comment and you'll be like "what's this guy blethering about??|" Which I have to admit is kinda fun, don't you think? When you find yourself going "ohhhh yeah"! I like it anyway)! Sorry bit delirious, I have man flu, I thought I was being attacked in bed by a giant frog in the morning yesterday and my gf pointed out... it was my foot in silly coloured socks! But yeah, I'd been avoiding music, cos bit autistic and therefore obsessive, got very addicted to things and used to work in music where you can have what you want and still get by. So I moved away from the city entirely, got sober and was bit wary of getting too rock n roll and it dragging me back to things -I know, sinful... but I realised I could enjoy all aspects now. And I was blown away by 'Kings and Queens...' If can be bothered with old comment, what did you think of it? The last one I'd heard previously had 'Scream' on there... and then my memory withers like an old man's........... bollocks, can't think of anything!

Billy fuckin Idol forever😎💋💖💦

I like the way you run your show.

You make one of the best shows that I have ever seen in my entire life

I love him too. I think he looked great in his 20s - 40s. The drug addiction has taken its toll stripping away his otherworldly gorgeous looks although he’s still a handsome man. Wish he had not had addiction problems which I am sure cost him a lot of personal loss/anguish. Glad to see he seems happy & is doing well these days. He always put on a great show. I think he really cares. He still sounds great and is still doing music. Just love his music!

I Strongly suggest you listen to a recent Generation Sex gig.... It's probably the worst flat pitched and weak vocals I've ever heard.. In this day and age Billy needs autotune like a Fish needs water..,

REAL Music by REAL musicians as Prince said. These fake, autotunes on everything “singers” of today can not TOUCH these legends! All they have are electronically manufactured voices with no discernible talent in sight. It’s a disgrace to ALL music. It’s safe to say, this is the worst era in music history. Never have we had such terrible music that the masses SOMEHOW think is all that. I’m perplexed by it. How you go from Billy Idol to Justin Bieber I will NEVER know. You would think people would know better but I guess not. It’s a crying shame!

g man tramp He’s gotten older and his voice has changed like EVERYONE’S does at one point or another. But you can not deny his talent from his body of work, do NOT come here and try to demean his talent.

@@PurpleRain500 Not demeaning his talent.. I've seen GenX back in the day have you?? Just rightfully commenting on Gen Sex . Dreadful. Even Steve Jones was too slow on the guitar.

Yeah,I was surprised at how good he sounds live..

Yep - Wembley Arena and I was there too - great show.

Oh man, I'm so envious of you two.

I saw him open for ZZ Top. It was after the motorcycle wreck. He was limping around on crutches -- and then he threw the crutches down and really rocked. I was tripping on some kind of psychedelic XTC. It was an amazing show.

@@gerrylavelle8433 he threw crutches into the crowd when I saw him at this concert as well. The second time I saw him was when he opened for Bon Jovi at MK Bowl in 1993.

@@lynneparry7371 I always loved 'Eyes Without a Face." I grew up in the Los Angeles area. Later on, I moved to Boulder, Colorado. When I visited LA and it was time to leave I always took a bus to Las Vegas because it was easier to hitch-hike to Boulder from there. And I would be reading Raymond Chandler murder books on the bus.

I'm glad to see that someone other than myself sees this as well. I've always compared his _swagger_ to that of the *King* --- its the _upper lip_ thing. 🙋 My mom and Billy used to "date" back in his early days when he would be flying back and forth between London + NYC. They had met down in NYC's "Village" and even after his rise to "stardom" , they remained good friends and even came to our house to see her when I was born. She kept every "memento" he had ever given her, including both personally autographed albums ( _vinyl_ ). I remember him coming over to our house when I was 4 yrs old and my mom introducing him to me as _"this is your uncle Billy baby, say hello..."_ ; a year earlier, he had also become a "father" himself.😊 Whenever he came to NY, he would call her and they would get together throughout the years, before her passing. Last time I saw him in "person" was on March 15, 2017 at the House of Blues Las Vegas, where I went to see him backstage --- he couldnt believe how "time had flown", and he hugged me as we sat down and he reminisced about himself + my mom and all the "trouble" they had caused in certain clubs of NYC back in the day. He literally imitated Forrest Gump in telling me that he and my mom _"we were like two peas in a pod"_ 😁 When I left he hugged me tightly, and I still called him "Uncle Billy"! He was so generous --- he not only made sure I got flowers and champagne delivered every single day to my room for the 5 days I was in Vegas --- but when I was leaving and went to the reception desk to drop off the key ( card ) to my suite, I was told that all charges on my credit card had been "returned" --- and that he had actually paid for my stay there. Thats the type of man he is ---- he never forgot "who" his "friends" were, back when he was just starting out as an artist in the U.S. I'm pretty sure my mom was smiling down on him from "up there somewhere" . ✌

@@LeenaStark that is so very cool. Thank You for sharing that.

@@vandalorianvandalorian4769 Thank YOU, for allowing me to "share" it with you. Youre the first person Ive ever told this to believe it or not. Wishing you well across the miles + keep ROCKIN!!! ✌🙋

@@LeenaStark I’m honored. ThanK YOU. I’m a mostly retired Rock singer/musician, and I’ve covered several Billy Idol songs over the years. I’ve always been a fan of his. He’s just so good.

@@vandalorianvandalorian4769 Oh WOW! Do you have any videos of you performing those covers? If you do, I would very much like to see them! 🙋😊 And yea, uncle Billy's a *Rock Legend* in his own right. I play his albums all the time, and Ive "framed" the very first 2 vinyl albums he had personally signed / dedicated to my mom from way back then; they hang in my living room. ✌

True to form to this day !!!

He's making a dance-punk, cmon.

@KEW MORE no one sings authentic original punk anymore haha and it's a good thing he went to U.S as if he hadn't we wouldn't have this

Hard core outside

He is a True Rock icon. 40 years solo carrer, 2 bands before. I guess bmo Billy and Bruce Dickinson are 2 best vocals ever. Actor, songwriter, multi instruments player. If did not had this motocycle crash back in the days, he was the 1st choice for the liquid terminator T3000, by James Cameroon on the Judgement day. He is True full Blood Rocker of the World class. True IDOL 4ever. ✊✊✊

@@cukesmailbegovic1l8516 👏👏👏

Haha you're a young tike eh?

Good lookin out there, I'm an 80s dad to and I named my son Cliff Burton from"Metallica". Now 27,he goes with me when I play bass at the gigs in my bar band.We play"White Wedding","Eyes without a face",and"Rebel yell", a bunch of songs from that decade.Inded the 80s was a great time to be alive.Alot less technology,a lot more imagination!

I hope he does more shows in the future because I’m gonna kick myself for not being able to see him in concert. I’m gonna look out for his future tours.

Never had issues w/ his abs, even now.

So true 👍

you could make it :)

Isn't it amazing how we can tell the difference with and without Steve Stevens? No wonder Steve has been playing with Billy for forty years.

@@golfhound Yeah I just relistened to "Catch my fall" and was always thinking that the song felt incomplete. And yes, Steve's guitar is missing.

Nope. There's no Stevens (on this level) w/o Idol. Doing just fine here & thru the 90's.

Who's playing the guitar in this gig?

I know!!! I love Steve, it really dissapointed me when I didn't saw him on the scenario. 😢

Backtracking?

@@ollihp ummm..no

I've listened to this front and back multiple times!

@@imgreekgeek same! his vocals are so powerful, idk how he does it 🤩

That’s what Billy needed !! Great player Mark and sounded amazing i was there !!!

I saw him in Skedsmohallen in 1989…….. Charmed Life tour. Great show !!

He looked slowed down here

@@RichV20 probably because he was still recovering from getting mangled in his bike accident. Hence the cane at the beginning.

Cyberpunk Elvis ;)

@@aleksandarpejcic2077 Rock n roll Elvis!? Lol I thought Elvis was the inventor of rock n roll? I get what you mean that,Billy's more of the hard core rock star.

Applaud the Rock Star trust me Elvis did not invent rock n roll. At least not what it was in the 80s.

"The RnR version of Elvis"?????? Fk me, I can hardly believe I read that!!! Elvis was RnR before Billy was born or heard of!

THere s a bit of Jim Morrison in him too.

What does this mean

@@DanielBrown-fy7ll Steve Stevens played guitar and toured on most of Idol's early albums, but they had split up before this tour. They are currently recording and touring together again.

Billy is still great in concerts. A true legend

Yup right there with you, seen him 6 or 7 times I stopped counting! He puts on a good show! Too Bad Steve wasn't at this Wembley show. Not the same without the real gun!

I actually prefer him over Steve Stevens

I wish I could have been there too!

I was there too, he played 2 nights, I went to both.. fantastic..

@@wrights8 two nights of bliss and rock n roll. Damn how I wish I had been there

Lol so all y'all went?

It was the time when record labels actually gave a F about artists and took a chance. Now they're only in it for the money and whatever garbage product they put out. Because its not music.

and some of the worst as well.

@@Romchikthelemon true. I love the 60s-90s but the 80s had a ton of crap music as well as all time greats. Eddie van halen as great as he was unintentionally spawned off a ton of evh wannabes. A lot of songwriting was lousy and shredders mindlessly shredding w/o any real substance. The 70s were my favorite era. Billy idol was one of the great ones tho and Steve stevens an awesome guitarist... too bad he's absent in this concert.

He is alive and well

@@KVeneris no, not Idol but my dear friend who used to really like him

Really? By whom?

He was never underrated Mr. Monte, you must've got mixed up with someone else, Billy is eternal, love the man, he gave me a fantastic time back in the days

He wasn't underrated back then. But as globalized music industry became more shitty and black-oriented, all our artists seem to have been erased.

@@cedericocosantorini8013 you've made that up.

@@trollgoodman7808 Good troll, man!

Well he's not dead and still releasing music. 😁

I’d be jumping about and bobbing my head up and down. Dance like it’s the 80s-90s.

So true, every Word. He's in deed n1 world class. Best rocker ever.

Billy's real name is William, and it might even be Willem in his native country for all we know. You don't know 100% he was referencing his son, especially if he's a Jr.

@@cocotower what? Billy is from england where his Name is obviously William. Its clear that he meant his son willem who is named after him.

​@@madridista89 If Billy's name is William, and his son's name is Willem, he didn’t name him after himself. William and Willem are two different names.

@Michael Harrington well duh 🙄 still very similiar and clearly showing how they wanted a name close to billy's real name. And still doesn't change the fact that Billy sings willem in prodigal blues live sometimes because of his son.

@@madridista89 "duh"? You're the one who said he named him after himself, when they have two different names.

Indeed 🥺

Да, их микрофонные стойки такие трогательные.

It fatal charm tour, sadly no steve stevens on guitar

@@wiccagoddess6022 are you sure it's not the Charmed Life tour?

I lived in Lakeland 82-83, had a blast!
