So I heard a new Billy Idol song on the radio the other day. It sounded eerily like all his other stuff. My wife and I even started singing the new lyrics to the tune of "Rebel Yell" and it fit. Funny shit.

Anyone hear/have details about the upcoming CD?

Wow, I didnt know he still made songs. Interesting.

Damn, he's old.

Well he's had 10 years of nothing to see if he can come up with 12 decent songs. This should be interesting to say the least.

He didn't have 10 years of nothing. He had a greatest hits cd with one or two new songs, if I recall correctly. And by new, I mean a remake of a song from the 80s that I can't remember the name of. :lol "Don't you... forget about me.." That song. Unless he did actually release a remake of that song before. If he did, I wasn't aware of it.


And btw.. Billy Idol ROCKS!

Aside from the best of CD, Billy's done a few soundtrack tunes. He released the 2002 CD and DVD, VH1 Storytellers which reunited him with Steve Stevens. Plus, he's been touring extensively over the last 5 years. Steve Stevens is a virtuoso on guitar and he has former keyboardist of Dream Theatre, Derek Sherinian, in the band as well.

Spectral Glider, where do you live in PA? I'm guessing near Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, but I'm just curious.. I live a bit south of there, around Pottsville, or Orwigsburg, if you know either of them..

I'm just a bit north of Scranton. Yeah, I know of Pottsville. Give the Maroons back their NFL title!

Edit: I saw Billy Idol live in Atlantic City about a year and a half ago, he was really, really good live. His current band is pretty tight. He played a full two hours and was worth every penny, I seriously suggest anybody catch him if you ever get the chance.

Hold it, you live near Pottsville? That's within about 10 miles of where I'm from.
