Billy Idol - White Wedding Part 1 (REACTION!) 

Billy's guitar player, Steve Stevens, is incredibly good.

Now do eyes without a face!

"FLESH FOR FANTASY"👍👍

It's a nice day for a light sweater.... It's a nice day for a, CAAAAAARDIGAN!🧥🤘

Top of my list of "Songs You should Not Play at a Wedding Reception, but I Have Nonetheless Heard at Wedding Receptions"

"Cradle of Love" should be one to check out as well. Billy Idol is definitely one of the best of the 80's; he was just cool.

I'm hearing this song for the first time in like 20 years. I'm picking up on a lot of "ear candy" I never noticed before. Or those little nuances that Ryan and George would say make the song fly.

iconic 80s song.. the vibe and vocals make this one rise above the repetition.

'Flesh For Fantasy' is my vote for the next Billy Idol reaction.

One of those perfect artists for the 80's. The look, the sound, the attitude. He had it all.

Eyes Without A Face is a really atmospheric song from Billy where his singing ability comes through. Blue Highway, also from the Rebel Yell album, is another favourite of mine.

I remember me and my sister dressing our little brother up as Billy Idol for Halloween one year when he was about 4 or so. He was so damned cute. And to have been as little as he was he played the hell out of it too, even down to that trademark Billy Idol snarl 🤣

I saw him perform back in May and Billy and Steve still got it. So charismatic and so fun to watch. 'Hot In The City' is my favorite.

I think Billy Idol is an example of somebody with definite talent, surrounding himself with the right people to make the best of the talent he has through their talent. Almost everything he does is good if he's working with Steve Stevens who is a phenomenal guitar player. Billy Idol was successful at one point, but I think he has more underground success in the long term than he's had mainstream. Kind of an artist that's just always going to be around because his music is always going to be good.

Steve Stevens is the guitarist. He did the guitar work on Michael Jackson’s song Dirty Diana, and is in the video for the song as well.

Generation X should be checked out by Billy Idol fans - killer punk band, with Billy leading them with his stellar vocals.

one of the best MTV music videos ever..............

Billy is just cool!!! He and Steve Stevens are magical!

God we had the best music, all across the genres in the 80’s; Rock, Rap, Hip Hop, Disco, Club, House, New Wave, Latin Freestyle, HiNRG, Yacht Rock and even some country; I listened to it ALL ❤

The break down in EYES WITHOUT A FACE is a must listen

Hot in the City's vocal is unbelievable. Listen to that. Pure eighties.

My favourite version of this song is the unplugged version with Steve Stevens on the guitar.

Love Billy Idol !! Great reaction!! I can’t believe y’all haven’t reacted to Skid Row yet! Sebastian Bach’s vocals are freakin Amazing !

I still listen to him on the regular. It never has gotten old.

Definitely need to listen to part 1 & 2 together. Eyes Without A Face is fantastic. Dancing With Myself is awesome. Rock the Cradle. There are definitely several songs you could react to / analyze and critique. You guys really aren't even "Reactors" at this point. I'd consider you legit music critics. I tune in not just for the reaction, but the perspectives and breakdowns you guys give.

Steve Stevens is an underrated guitarist imo

Steve Stevens is a great guitarist! Saw Billy Idol live back in the 80’s with The Cult as the opening band.

Steve Stevens has been my favorite guitarist since the 80s. Always the coolest riffs and he can shred.

Ryan was singing some opera when he sang, "White Wedding"🤣

Billy Idol is one of the coolest men to have ever lived.

DANG!!! Reading these comments and suggestions, is making me realize just how AMAZING Billy Idol is. Every single one of these suggestions are total fire tracks! 🔥

Nice!! To see his REAL charisma, check out his cover of Mony, Mony LIVE...he really can control a crowd & it rocks!! I'd also suggest Eyes Without a Face & To Be a Lover (another cover but makes it his OWN). Loved the reaction guys

Rebel yell was my fav album, with all the keyboards and guitar work every song was amazing

Steve Stevens (guitarist) got people's attention with this song. Amazing guitarist and very respected back then.

Billy always used great musicians and had terrific production on his albums

Steve Stevens is a killer guitarist 🎸

I loved the music video of this on MTV. It's dope.

The "Part 1" seems to be simply an alternative way of saying it is a "radio/single edit" or some such, cos White Wedding "Parts I & II" (aka Shotgun Mix) appears on his 1989 remix compilation, Vital Idol, a collection of 8 of his best/biggest hits remixed into longer durations with little sonic extras to make the songs pop more. White Wedding "Shotgun Remix" (as it's called on Vital Idol), basically sounds the same as the "Part I" from the original album, at least for the first half (ergo being "Part 1") ; once it gets into where the guitar solo would normally commence, that's when the extended instrumentals and expanded refrains come in (ergo "Part 2"). This full 8½-minute "Shotgun" mix of both "Parts I & II" is really worth checking out, assuming you dig this song in its "radio friendly" Part-1 format. Part 2 by itself does not exist as a single track (at least not officially).

A personal favorite of mine from Billy Idol is Cradle of Love. Fun fact, the music video was directed by famed holly director David Fincher in one of his first projects

I love Billy Idil. I don’t know why I don’t think of him more. Playlist of all of his songs

Hey guys! I hope y'all can get to "eyes without a face" if y'all haven't heard it already :) truly one of my favorite Billy Idol songs. One thing I found out is that in the song, a french woman's vocal can be heard in the background of the chorus saying "faceless eyes" by Apple translator, and "eyes without face" by Google translator. Idk I just thought that was cool lol. You guys should check it out!!

Billy is iconic of the early days of MTV

It's a certified banger/classic

Please react to "Cradle of Love".... such an underrated song! for Billy idol actually had an injury and still did the video with a cool backdrop of him singing on the wall through "newer technology" back in 1990.

There's an extended version of this song that gets trippy and it's brilliant. You guys can follow up on your own time so you don't have to react to it, but it's here on YT called Billy Idol - White Wedding (extended mix) HQ - 8:21 length

part 2, keeps it going and then it gives you sauce, you didn't know the song needed the sauce, until you get the sauce, then your like " oh Hell yeah, sing it Billy", ha

Dancing by myself from the same album would be a good song to react to.

I've always thought Billy sounded alot like Jim Morrison from The Doors. Then I found out he did a cover of The Doors 'L.A. Woman' and I was blown away. Helluva cover of a great Doors song by Mr. Idol 🤘🤘

I saw him live in Loveland Colorado a few weeks ago. He was great, still.

Flesh for Fantasy next! \m/

Steve Steven's was the heartbeat of the band. That's why Michael Jackson had him do all his early guitar work (except for EVH on Beat It) along with Janet Jackson

billy idol was a true rock star, he embraced the lifestyle, he was a bit of a bad boy back then lol

This song will always remind me of Bam Margera and his CKY videos from back in the day.

billy idol was something else man.

Dude had something-multi-talented musician.

That one part at the end where it sounds like he’s saying “ hamonnn itza” 🤣🤣🤣

He started in the punk scene in the late 70’s . And then transition to rock in 80’s. This was because punk was taking off and becoming more mainstream. So his style of singing is punk based blended with rock. This is why it works.

Billy Idol crossed over between the punk and pop world at a time when it was no easy feat (pop looked down on punk and punk absolutely despised pop or at least that was the fashionable posture at the time). Idol had a background (Generation X) and carried a vibe that attracted both worlds without alienating either one which was impressive.

Billy Idol is a legend

Its a nice day for a light sweater… Its a nice day for a cardigaaaan

The bass on this is sick AF

This song was ALL OVER Mtv in 1982/83. Next up: Mony Mony

This was the first tape I ever owned!! I was only 3 years old :)

It’s a nice day for a light sweater, it’s a nice day for a carduuuuuuhgan

Eyes Without a Face w/video=fire . Guitarist played on Michael Jackson's song Dirty Diana

Eyes Without A Face should be next

If ya wanna hear Billy Idol at his best and I know you like Black Sabbath then check out "Tony Iommi feat. Billy Idol - Into the night" on the IOMMI album. It's great

You guys should do the videos they're also iconic

I remember when it came out it definitely always had that punk feel to it for me. He’s a cool dude!

Billy Idol has a plethora of bangers. You should definitely dive deeper into his catalog.

The Boon-dikkins LMFAOOO

Billy's new stuff he has been releasing lately is EPIC on all levels!! He and Steve Stevens are song writing machines!!

The song has a longer mix, which is parts 1 and 2 together. Came out on a 12 inch single. The one you heard is the radio edit.

EYES WITHOUT A FACE is a Billy Idol MUST HEAR!!!

Y'all just need to throw the straight jab Billy Idol style and you got it.

Excellent reaction ,always informative

Love you guys

The production on this record in particular is spectacular

I love Billy Idol, he’s a legend 🖤

I saw him the past summer and it's still a blast.

Always loved that song. It still sounds so cool...

Ryan & George, your reaction podcasts along with POLO REACTS are the most authentic reactions. Keep up the good work fellas.

I like that his music always had a fun feel while still feeling cool .

Love me some Billy Idol, legend!

Its a nice day for a lost in vegas review

Totally agree with y'all! Always been my favourite Billy Idol track.

This song AND Billy Idol play in "The Wedding Singer" feat. Adam Sandler ... a classic ;)

This song came out when I was 11, I loved it then and still do.

😎🔥🔥🔥🔥 back in the Day I rocked those Gloves 🤘

Killed it!

Just saw him at the Cosmopolitan in Vegas in Nov 2023. He and his band were fantastic. He can sing really well, did all the hits and the band (Steve S) were excellent. Great show

Yes! Billy is awesome - a real rocker.

I love me some Billy Idol!!!!

To be a lover, that’s the one you should listen to next. Promise 👍

he released a new song a few months back, and its great, all us old folks can listen to it and say, yep thats billy idol.

True classic rock anthem for sure! 😎🤘

Eyes Without A Face live in Santa Monica (Charity/Fundraiser) is a great live performance from Idol.

Billy is a freakin Icon! Listen to Eyes Without A Face!!

The guitar work is the great Steve Stevens!! We were kids in the 80’s and thought he was cool looking!

Great song....part of high school for me!!
