billy idol : eyes without a face classic or unbelievably amazing.

I believe the line was inspired by the film title (also, the original French title of the movie is song by backup singers in the song)

Prince has never rocked harder (or come within the same zip code as rocking as hard) as "Ready Steady Go", "Kleenex", "From the Heart" and/or "Day By Day" by Generation X.

Gen-X's renditioni of "Dancing with Myself" is the same recording as Idol's, only with Steve Jones' (ex-Pistol/Professional) guitar excised from the mix.

Well, no, actually. Not just like Avril. Yes, Generation X is indeed pop-punk (much like their peers in the Buzzcocks). Avril is simply pop. There is nothing "punk" about her music.

When Billy Idol came to Australia at his peak in the 80's, he said on national TV, "I've had some pretty hot sex since I've been here."

I had something to say about Gen X but I can't remember what it was now. I used to have a friend that was completely crazy about them, played the albums over and over.

recommend me some Billy Idol! Like "Dancing With Myself"!

prince played 50's rock in "can't stop" from graffitti bridge .

I was just unexpectedly ambushed by this song - so good!

Dud

Why?

because he hates songs that are good

i don't know. i guess i always thought it was ok as a song. i never paid attention to the lyrics, but i'm reading them now and i kind of like 'em except for the verse about las vegas and the psychedelic bus which is a big wtf.

Who reads lyrics?

I looked at them because I wondered if I'd missed anything in the song that I might have liked.

Yeah, the psych bus trip part is the weakest part of the song.

Oh man, I love his slightly off-key croon on this song - so sinister.

Great video too

Does anyone still music videos like this? Did anyone ever make music videos like this?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. A little cheesy, but not enough to distract from its finery.

I tell people to listen to my music if they want to get to know me. Always be yourself. So many have been hurt trying to be what others want them to be. Especially in the past. Bilbo2shire

Its about people who feel rejected in this world of lies. They have eyes but no face. They try to still try to fit in into this world the believe the lies always trying to fit in and stay hip to what others think it's cool. But really this world in nothing. It's all a big lie and we need to be ourselfs and belief in ourselfs no matter what other think or feel about us. We make our own world by our thoughts. Love yourself. Only when you love yourself you will be able to love others.

I know there's always room for interpretation, but I find it bizarre that people can so completely miss the point of a song.

didn't jbr have the username "reading murder books, trying to stay hip" once? classic for that alone

That's right, she did! I'd forgotten that. Ah, the good old days...

Man, was "jj dncr" the biggest idiot to ever post here? Or merely among the biggest?

Like how did Billy Idol come up with such a glittering woozy midtempo synth jam. Why can't this happen again?
