FIRST TIME HEARING Billy Idol - Rebel Yell (Official Music Video) REACTION | THIS IS WILD! 😱😳 

Billy is a British rock icon from the 80's with so many great songs. Eyes without a face, White Wedding, Rock the cradle. Most notably he became a naturalized US citizen after living in and out of NY for decades. He said receiving his citizenship was one of his greatest accomplishments.

80's Punk Rock. Billy Idol is an Icon. Other songs and videos to check out by him is the concert version of MONY MONY, EYES WITHOUT A FACE, DANCING WITH MYSELF, CRADLE OF LOVE. He's got a rabbit hole. You'll enjoy.

This song was used in The Wedding Singer. Billy Idol did a cameo appearance at the end of the movie as well.

Mony Mony, White Wedding, and Hot in the City are his other huge hits. ALL worth a listen.

Great song. Now time for "White Wedding" by Billy Idol. It's a banger

An 80's rocker who was known for partying hard. He partied soo hard one time, they had to call the military to get him out of a hotel room, escort him onto a plane, strap him down, and fly him out of the country.

Billy idol is British and his first band was"generation x" definitely punk! Another good song is"eyes without a face, flesh for fantasy, white wedding, cradle of love.......etc✌️

Billy Idol Mony Mony for crowd participation! Their sound is really music driven. Big shout to the band members! Steve Stevens really shreds that guitar and still tours with Billy.

I agree! When he says that “he lives in his own heaven” in that deep voice it really does sound like Elvis

80s punk rock, you came on the scene maybe almost halfway through the Disco era. I was in my twenties during the '80s, it was the greatest time for music and clubs ever.

Imagine Billy pointing to you in the crowd and singing this song to you. Have a young lady feeling some type of way. I'm surprised yall didn't comment on the strong drums here now that yall are really into drums. Also Billy Idol did have a few Cameos in movies back in the day

“ Dancing with myself “ should be your listen by dude 🤞🏾🔥🔥

I got to see him live in the 80s. Came to my college. Got everyone up on a frenzy for an encore and then just walked of the stage. I was mad, but on the other hand it was inline with his personality. You may want to check out White Wedding and Mony, Mony.

Not wrong about the Elvis vibes. He´s always been a big fan of the King. You want to give "To Be A Lover" a shot. It´s pretty clear to hear on that one.

This was a Club Banger way back when!!!! It hyped it up when played, Man! What a BLAST!!! Y'all should've seen it!😎🔥✌

Billy is the MAN!❤ my entire family loved him, even my grandma used to say he was cute if he would do something with his hair!🙄😂

Great song and reaction listen to his song white wedding I love some billy he’s like 80s punk rock

I totally love how honest and respectful you guys are! Even if 9 out of 10 videos would never be on your personal play lists you keep it real and I love that!

I just googled, he looks just the same now as he did then! Pretty impressive for a rock star from that time! Try White Wedding next

Definitely worth checking out more Billy Idol he was such an important part of the alternative 80s in the UK and was part of the Bromley contingency who were famously on television with the sex pistils in the 70’s.

🤘🤘 Billy is an 80's staple!!! He's STILL going too!!! Just dropped an album recently!!!! Check out the song Eyes Without a Face!!! 😉❤✌🏼

This was my era, 80's Rock had a strong r 'n' b twist, and can jive with hip hop!

This is 80s Punk Rock

Bro you puttin them reactions up Billy Idol was my 1st exposure to Rock when I was a kid 80s classic jam!

idol is a great artist , steve stevens top 10 guitar heros ever , he transcended billy idol are a icone

I'm a full-blown metalhead have been for forty years. I love punk and rock'n'roll and Billy is a fucking rock icon. never been disappointed with a single song!

Billy Idol was a banger in the 80's "Eyes without a Face" "White Wedding" but my favorite song was "Fatal Charm"

The wedding singer. Billy makes a cameo appearance

"Dancin' with Myself" was used in the movie "Can't Buy Me Love". Billy has about a dozen hits that I enjoy 40 years later.

Best snarl since Elvis! Great live band, great band too.

Saw him live twice in NZ. Last time was in 2019. They are both still good (Billy & Steve)!!

Billy said one time in a concert I went to that Elvis was one of his influences and idols

Billy Idol is ABSOLUTELY for REAL!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🎵🎼🎶🎸🥁🎹🎙💜 Major guilty pleasure!!!!

You got to stop pausing after every verse for nothing

And when you mention it, he definitely gives off a unique vibe. He almost sings in a older, crooning style, but still hits high notes. Despite belonging to the rock genre, of course.

One of the BEST ARTISTS to come out of the NEW WAVE movement from the 80's. Other GREAT 80's bands: Depeche Mode, U2, Talking Heads, Oingo Boingo, X, Prince, THE CURE, BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE, VILENT FEMMES, MINISTRY, BAUHAUS, DEVO, THE RAMONES, THE CULT, P.I.L, THE SMITHS, TEARS FOR FEARS, THE ENGLISH BEAT, MADONNA, ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN, B52's, BEASTIE BOYS, RUN DMC, PSYCHEDELIC FURS, REM, THE CLASH to name a few. Lol. 💯🔥🤯🤞✌

Billy Idol was quite the performer, with a kill ass guitar player. Say, guya, m Rupp, of the a capella group Home Free, does an amazing beat box solo drum act. You'll love it, I swear.

I like this song and “White Wedding” by him.

Thank you sooo much for this reaction...took me allll the back to high school...i blasted this song everytime it came on the radio....love yalls reactions!!

You are right about this "Elvis" voice part.He is immitating the king in this specific part.Very detailed remark,bravo!

HIGH ENERGY!!❤ Loved Billy Idol!!

This band was a mixture of Glam Rock/ Punk Rock and he does the lip thing like Elvis!

You're right about the Elvis reference...Elvis had a distinct "crooning" style of vocal as does Billy Idol - very low pitch and sustained. A lot of rock/punk singers adapted this same crooning approach to their vocal style such as Jim Morrison of The Doors, Glenn Danzig of The Misfits/Samhain/Danzig, and Michael Paulson of Volbeat. To validate my statement here, you should really react to the official video by Danzig called "Mother"....I think you'd really vibe to that one!

My entire crew was down with Billy idol back in the day. Most definitely dope.

Billy Idol is a rock legend, started out in the original British punk rock scene and went more mainstream after some years. His videos were all over MTV back in the day when it mattered. He has a HUGE catalogue of amazing songs, and he's still touring today to huge venues, and still kicking ass. He's one of a kind

Billy had tons of hits back then. My favorit is Flesh for fantasy

Good point. I grew up with this but just realized how much he crafted his image to be Elvis from the voice to the sneer. Of course, the name IDOL was also clever.

Juice mentions 'Billy Idol' in his song "U Wouldn't Understand," you should really check it out🔥🔥🔥

Billy has IT!!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️ Cradle of love Dont need gun

My fave song by him with Dancing with Myself, and Flesh for Fantasy. He played a cameo in the Wedding Singer.

Billy Idol made a huge impact when he first cam onto the scene back in the day ... try "Flesh For Fantasy"next, for a different vibe of his.

This Rebel Yell concert...my 11th bday present....was amazing!💜

Swagger, lip curl, high energy. Pretty sure his appeal is more to a female audience. Love him.

You've seen Steve Stevens before....he played the guitar for Michael Jackson, Dirty Diana. He's an absolute beast of a player!

Billy mfcking Idol !!! True Rock Legend

what an energetic performance---tha guitarist was shredder supreme on that solo fo sho!!

Prior to going solo, Billy Idol was a punk icon as he was in the punk band "X". I think that is what you are picking up on. However, he does also seem influenced by Elvis, in his low tones and his upper lip curl. His sex appeal was just as great as Elvis too! Except more raw and edgy. My brother cultivated his look for a while in his teens. I, on the other hand, love the guitarist Steve Stevens. I love that ray gun sound he makes, the all black vinyl outfit, jet black crazy hair. I got a BA in music, with major instrument being classical guitar, but I love his solo's. Steve Steven's is the embodiment of an 80's guitar god. He also did the solo in Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana". I love the solo in "Eyes without a Face", which is my favorite. Idol and Stevens complemented each other so well.

It's the lip curl that billy is doing that's giving Elvis vibes.

I've seen a lot of these rebel yell videos and I have never seen someone not bounce the ole noggin a little bit! 😊 She must be distracted by something! And yes Elvis vibes😂 Guitar dude is Edward Scissorhands Hands😂

Billy had serious stage presence... so much charisma and talent. Cool guy too

Good pick up. He loves Elvis 👑 That's were Billy got the lip from.

Billy was one of Many 80's Icons. Wish I could Transport You All to the Early 80's Era. You would Love it!

Love Billy Idol so much, loved him since I was a kid

One thing about the 80s our music was diverse we had lots of sub genres inside of Blues, Rock, Pop, Punk, Country, Rap and there was lots of crossover. You could hear just about any genre on a pop station. We didn’t feel obligated to own a certain genre of music. We just appreciated good music. Billy idol was more punk with rock edge. Billy was so hot! 😉

I remember all girls loved Billy That made me jealous at the time He had a lots of energy and carisma... They still love him, but they won't tell you, bro😜

Yes! Good on you! Definitely Elvis vibes with the lip action and the voice intonations.

My cousin was really into this band, She would say he is a modern version of Elvis. She so loved his curled lip smirk. His punk appeal(all the studded clothing) was popular. I even got questioned one day, by the police & my studded belt got taken away(apparently it is classed as a weapon). Was supposed to go see him, but the concert got delay by two days in Australia, as he had to go back to the UK, as no one here would dye his hair, with his required level of peroxide, to get the look he required. He has many good songs, but my favourite is White Wedding.

Listen to Elvis from 1968. He did a concert that was fantastic. Nothing like Billy.

80s rock has all the raw power and energy!

This type of rock is called "Punk Rock" and Billy was the king of it in the early 80's. He and his lead guitar player, Steve Stevens, are still out there rockin' it. They just don't jump around like they used to. I don't either. lol

Billlyyy! Whoo, he had us jumping in the day. He has a great repertoire of songs. Listen to White Wedding, Mony, Mony and Eyes Without A Face. His mouth sneers and fist punch outs were his iconic moves. Now he's an awesome father and grandfather 👍🏾👵🏿🎶💜!

One of my favorite songs of all time

Billy Idol was also in a movie " THE WEDDING SINGER " as himself (toward the end of the movie ) !

He was a rocker.fire reaction.yes he got that from Elvis,he liked Elvis.

Punk Rock was a thing at that time...the style of clothes ..the music..etc. The "Elvis Vibe" ... He keeps curling his upper lip and some of his moves give off that vibe! lol

The word you're looking for is ENERGY!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

He curled up his lip like Elvis. This was played a lot on the radio. Fun dance tune.

Wedding Singer lol it was on that movie, and Billy Idol was also in that movie. They also played White Wedding.

I saw them do this in a small university club. This style saw rock shifting a bit more more towards punk. It meant the nightclub fashion of the day, for many reasons I'm sure, had us all dressed like we were vampire S&M practitioners. But I've gotta tell you, for back then, people did look f'ing cool.

Billy Idol has a cameo at the end of the wedding singer.Robbie, a wedding singer, meets Julia, a waitress, at a reception and the two hit it off. He soon learns that she is engaged to another man, who treats her like garbage, and must stop their wedding. Adam Sandler is Robbie and drew Barrymore is julia.it was made in 98 but set in the 80's that was Billy's most famous time.he was obviously older but still looked good.billy is touring at the moment and has lots of pics and videos of his new granddaughter poppy rebel his daughter bonnie blues child.

I got kicked out of my senior English class for missing class on the day of the midterm exam because I went to the Billy Idol concert the night before and got all fucked up. I didn't graduate on time because of that stunt. Totally worth it

Listen to Cradle of Love......I think you'll bang to it. Billy Idol is great in his small role in the Wedding Singer movie.....

Billy Idol started out as punk rock before going more main stream. Elvis was an early influence and he does have a very famous sneer like Elvis did as well🤘🏼

He was the headline punk rock act of the 80s. Good Elvis sound pick up! Lol. Billy Idol definitely had his own distinctive growl though.

He was giving Elvis vibes! You are spot on! Not an accident. Peace to you guys.

I said it when we first saw this song/video on MTV. He reminds me of Elvis. Bad ass Lead Guitarist White Wedding and Mony Mony are great songs of his. British Punk Rocker

I got to know him through Grand Theft Auto series. Always on the radio.

Good to see your switching it up to some British classics. We was running the music industry till the mid 90's

It was in the movie Legend of Billie Jean an 80's classic

You may have heard the version with Miley Cyrus corroborating Or maybe one of the 30000 places it’s been featured in: The song appears in the 1984 movie Sixteen Candles. The song appears in the 1985 movie The Legend of Billie Jean. The song appears in the 1986 movie The Wraith. The song was included in the video games Guitar Hero World Tour, WWE 2K16, as a downloadable track for the Rock Band series. The song appears in the documentary Warren Miller's Impact. The song appears in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain as an in-game cassette tape. Part of the song was used in a radio commercial for Blockbuster Video Australian in the mid-2000s. The line "more, more, more" appeared in the ad, with the voiceover boasting about Blockbuster having more copies of new release movies than the competition. The song has been covered by many different bands such as Children of Bodom, HIM, Drowning Pool, Dope, Black Veil Brides, Adrenaline Mob, and Otherwise. The song was used during a flashback scene, in the 4th episode of American Horror Story: 1984. In the 1990s, the song was featured in an ad campaign for KP snacks. Following the final lyrics "more, more, more" a voice over added "why settle for less, less, less." The song appears in the trailer for the Outbreak gamemode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, as well as appearing in a collection of songs in a music pack in-game. The music video of "Rebel Yell" can be seen on a TV in the 1988 film Big.

I'm 54 and I live for Billy Idol and his Great Guitarist Steve Stevens ......You must Study the Guitar Player , Steve is one hell of a Guitarist and good human being .

Elvis vibes. Check out when Billy does the curled lip. He's totally giving off Elvis vibes. That's a great catch. If you play Billy Idol while driving your car on a major speedway, be sure to use your cruise control, because I assure you that your car will suddenly feel like a muscle car and you'll be speeding.

If you’re into Punk Rock,you would of heard of Billy Idol,and like the bloke below,yes ,Billy is a Rock Icon,who can still fill Stadiums Anywhere In the World..🎸🎸🎸🎸.Yes ,he did admire Elvis,and imitated him abit..

You're not imagining it, he does give off Elvis vibes. Elvis was a major influence for Billy Idol. A lot of people consider him the punk Elvis. 😁

Love Steve Stevens. Great and underapteciated guitarist. His Elvis snarl is a homage to him.

I think what you are noticing that is making it seem so different to you is that Billy always had a punk edge to him, his music, and his band. So, I think what you're seeing that is catching your attention is the punk element mixed with 80s keys. I recommend White Wedding next. Anything Billy Idol will be fire. He's got a ton of great music and lots of hits. By the way, definitely an ode to Elvis thrown in there with the lip and the voice.

This is 90s, pure.

His guitarist Steve Stevens played on Dirty Diana by Michael Jackson! Punk Rock! Loved it!

This does have that Elvis echo in there...part of what I like about Billy Idol

Billy Idol played himself in the Adam Sandler movie called The Wedding Singer .Some of his songs are in the movie also
