Billy Idol - Interview

[inhisgrace007]

Can you belive Billy was 29 years old in in this interview? Born in 1955. Thank goodness NOW his interviews are drug free and intelligent. ;-)

[inhisgrace007]

Billy was doing drugs at this time SO, the constant wiping of his nose and the fact he can't sit still idicates, to me, he did a line or two of coke.

[buggsmalone]

she cries "MORE MORE MORE!!!!!"

[helenschmelen]

"You must be a very proud young man." I remember that like it was yesterday.

[kcaj789]

I get the sincere impression that Letterman wants to kill him.

[mrsdurham122]

"Well I kinda forgot I didn't have anything on." HAHA!!

I seriously....seriously...love him!

[jetsat100]

beeing naturel ...priceless

[fatmelaxxx]

[Zeppelinfan25]

[thisismine666]

too bad the coke wore off at the end of this and he got all depressing :p

[leeloodallas31]

i don't t care whether it's a playback or not,we are hearing his voice,in any case

[moviebuff383]

..he didn't like STAR TREK The Search for Spock? lol.. he walked out :( ...a true 80's rocker

[starflash08]

[jetsat100]

...just for beeing naturel...lol

[Dyanderringer]

You can see the difference what the industry had done to him by then. Between the Letterman and the Arsenio interviews it's scary! But hey, that's the real American Idol!

BILLY IDOL KICKS FUCKING ASS "YEA!"

[eduardorenato]

cocaine is great

[chickenwing132]

I can't say he's the king of rock i think that title belongs to hendrix but he certainly could be a prince of rock, it's amazing that anyone of any age could completely love justin bieber and say 'what?' when you mention billy idol

[isopeaceospina]

He keeps teasing his right nipple LOLLL

[Sithemp11]

Billy is so *sniff* high on coke. Such a gorgeous man.

[sidpineapple]

[NKOTBable]

[ou812BD]

[iwaldron]

Never heard of Gerard Way

[wataki2]

[Boudosaved]

Well, now we know who Joaquin Phonex was trying to mimic during his classic interview with Dave.

[villezlovrgrl666]

[19Punky86]

Billy Idol is sooooo hooooooooot !!!

[markchowells1]

[rjglam]

David wanted Idol to be outrageous... no question about the music, so that's what he got, outrageous answers

[OpiSenpai]

He was a bit high...xDD

[THECUPCAKESUGARPIE]

♥ somnium36- U ARE CORRECT.......DAYUM!!!!!!! He was in Dallas a while back, and well, U ARE CORRECT!!!!!! LORDY!!!!!!!♥

[jc790]

The 80's, all people did was party and get laid. So much better a life than todays world.

[Newsensation1978]

@jc790 when sex-drugs-rock n roll was at its peak.

[ChloeChaoticx3]

[jchristopher83]

[ValenciaFan1]

"Twentythr... Five or something" LOL! Doesn't remember his own age. Rock on Billy!

[shinznay]

very sexy, im lesbian but i would

[pocketgoth]

What I want to know is: how anyone can be so high they might as well be on another planet and still be so quick witted and lucid?

[ScragNath]

Saw Billy get punched on the stage by a BIG Biker in Derby UK when in Generation X 1978.

[zw331]

I saw this when I was 12 and was hooked on Billy 4 Life!

[PeterHBne1]

saw billy live in sydney in 86/87. hopeless. he could barely stand let alone sing. off his nut. possibly worst concert i've seen. god love him.

[OurSadisticSelves99]

Billy Idol is my father.

[TEXASCUPCAKESUGARPIE]

even his eyebrows are perfect!!! XXX OOO XXX OOO

[TEXASCUPCAKESUGARPIE]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!! He is soooo freakin hot, THEN, AND NOW. XXX OOO XXX OOO

[Koalacanth]

Coked out Billy.

[jaspreetroxable]

he's cool but really dumb i gotta say

[rocknrollrocks777]

yeah he's def high.

love how he keeps rubbing his nose ;p

[IMheady]

What do you do when you go on a National TV interview and don't have to perform??? About ten lines if your Billy!!! That was an excellent interview,real,like talking to him at a party!!! No fronts,just interesting and poignant convo.Almost couldn't contain himself FFS!!! LMAO You could tell they had hung out at a club or two as Letterman was taken off guard with a couple of Billy's comments! Always been a fan since Gen X and he still rocks!!!

[TEXASCUPCAKESUGARPIE]

I HOPE HE HAD AN AWESOME 55th BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY!!!!!!!! Saw him a few months ago in Dallas, UNBELIEVABLY HOT......OMG ♥ ♥ ♥ PLEASE COME BACK SOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!! XXXOOOXXXOOO

[JBieberlvr1]

@TEXASCUPCAKESUGARPIE Hi please don't mind my user name!! I saw Billy Idol a few months ago in Georgia and he was great!! he played so long!!and he said something about wanting to go on tour this summer or sometime this year!!

[luvbidol777]

DITTO;;;;AND TODAY HE IS 55-AND STILL SMOKIN HOT!!

[ThatGuyTooHigh]

Hes high as fuck on coke. I've done it before and can tell by the way he's constantly rocking back in forth, snorting his nose and grinding his teeth.

[vytisd]

idol is on a white wedding tonite haha

[allycatbaker]

i don't know why but when i saw the i like turtles kid dressed as a zombie he kinda reminded me of billy lol

[TheTScotRhys]

You must be a proud young man.

[preciousbash]

"Bother ya and stuff" David Letterman is such a bore. I only bother to watchit ont he reare occassion when he actually has a great guest like Billy.

[preciousbash]

Love him to death but he is totally coked up!!

[ellesydney]

@preciousbash all that white wedding coke

[bootyknocker2010]

okay who hasn't rearranged the lyrics to "playin with myself" ??

[RockinBlues4]

i've never heard Billy Idol speakin before... he sounds so weird... and sexy ;DD

[overmatik]

Idol is above good and evil. All the critics are nothing but worms to him, he belongs amonge the great!

[m13miles]

he is high on Coke off his rockerrrrrrrrr!!!!

[aburgheim]

Is this guy full of fire or what!!!

[xeroxephyr]

Space Vampires? If Billy Idol was Edward Cullen and it took place on space it'd be the most badass show to have ever been made.

[MagicDust123]

Hes fucking hawt!!!!!!

[Baloonsnufsaid]

daayyuumm he is hot

[Baloonsnufsaid]

Woah Billy keeps interrupting the interviewer. Good job, no one likes him! Keep on rockin Billy!

[SeanAvolio]

Just saw his show tonight, and he was fucking AWESOME!

[RedDollShoes]

Yay! I'm seeing Billy Idol (again) on Tuesday! I can't wait!

[bacardistuff]

I love Billy! He's really sweet in this. True, he's drugged up or drunk but still awfully cute!

[ag081506]

hot as sinnnnnnnn

[crickella]

He was so hot and cute!

[skydivingatnoon]

Love his comment about the American dream.

[iwaldron]

The era of the rockstar is certainly dead and gone. They don't make rock stars like this anymore. I like my rock stars big and flamboyant and clever like Billy Idol, David Lee Roth and so many others from the 80's and 70's.

[cocatwoman7]

@iwaldron I agree totally, I miss Billy and David and the 80's-what FUN we all had and we all danced our tushy's off! Partay Hardy!!!!

[ThePENON]

@cocatwoman7 Fuck David Lee Roth!! Heil Billy Idol!!

[erinhogen]

@iwaldron Not true, in fact it has a chance to come back, it has only changed in genre, however, the fans and people women in particular, stil find this kind of act attractive and it will sell, i hate people who like to judge for everyone else and claim thngs are so untrue, Billy Idol still has a cult following heis still selling records and many artists from the 80s the same/ I guarantee stick some rocker out on stage again and see how quickly your gf and her friends leave you for them.

[Evge9]

@iwaldron I dont know, wether you care or not. But Gerard Way is pretty clever and flamboyant:P

[ziofagio]

Il sorriso a smorfia del professor Damigella!!!

[flyingoncloud9]

You can totally tell he just snorted a line backstage, haha.

[JenJui]

Billy Idol is still Hot as Sin! I'd love to kiss him All Over! Yeeeooouuuccchhh!!!!

[notgordon]

What a fantastic interview, Billy and Dave are perfect together, straight man and funny man, classic.

[newyorkyy]

love his socks lol!! hes awsome!!

[dudeman13bt]

Definitely rocked out on the blow something fierce.

[TheEgyptianOne]

he looks like jhonny depp in this video

[TheFlyingThingy]

I think he has a niple rash lol

[kainefenton]

He is so fucking high right now. holly shit.

[slayerrules114]

He obviously started the gangster chains/baggy clothes fad. Although it wasn't his main gab. ha

[dmarlow1733]

definately on coke

[TheFlyingThingy]

@dmarlow1733 yea he was rubbing his nose

[djkissbird]

I fuckin love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[digenovafilm]

what is he rubbing his nipple constantly during the interview!!! "for being natural..." hahah

why didn't he mention Generation X? ?

[GunDoDaTalkin]

Lol, he was totally blown. Billy Idol is a badass!!

[a4qual]

Wow - weren't the 80's fun? Imagine trying to get away with that now!

[tanjapejcinovska]

He was, he is and he will be simply PERFECT!!!!

[Voletta1000]

@tanjapejcinovska so very true. I was 14 when i started watching him now im 43 and Billy is still awesome!!!

[SuperZsokica]

sexy!

[iDirtyDianaX]

i wanna do himmmmmmmmmmm

so hotttt lol

[TheVojin88]

You can almost smell cocaine..Interview..so what....they are all crazy..

[ValenciaFan1]

"Well what in that do you think people would consider violence", the look Billy gave David after that question is untouchable.

1:33

[ValenciaFan1]

Billy just goes on talking lol. David had to be quick with his questions, otherwise Billy just went of in his own world xD

Gotta love Billy though, probably the only guy in the history of TV who can be interviewed drunk and get away with it.

[XOOOOElizabethOOOOX]

"I sorta went swimming and had sex" only Billy Idol could say that on TV and then proceed to name the drugs named after his songs.

[blackangelsoh]

High or not, every Idol interview i've seen was almost incoherent at times.

(not that i'm knocking him for it)

See the one with Timothy Leary around the release of Cyberpunk.

[kmezzacasa]

he was and he is so fuckin' idol sexy!! I love ya

[Ikosha85]

He is such a junkie, but I still love him, especially when he touches his teat. :)))

He blowed Letterman!!!

[mikeduonline]

Idol blows Letterman away. Awesome!

[skatertumen]

where can i find text version of this interview?

[OriginalPinkbird]

He is wittier than Dave...I never thought Dave was out of it but his questions....are kind of lacking. Billy gave really good replies & was coherent. Dave makes it seem like Billy is spewing jibberish & Dave doesn't wait to make sure Billy has finished his thought.

[sweetbeauti8517]

funny stuff..love it

[somnium36]

i have never seen a guy as hot as billy idol, and i probably never will. love him!

[cogoo]

It was cocaine - he keeps sniffing, fidgeting and scratching himself

[OriginalPinkbird]

@cogoo Sniffing heroine will do that to you too sometimes, make you itchy...He is sniffing a lot...I thought maybe he was stoned & coked up?

[kirada1]

wasted - lol that is an understatement. Still sexy tho even to this day.

[ValenciaFan1]

I wonder if it's water that he is drinking? :P

[kissthebunnie]

Jesus...he's not even on the planet!!! He's so coked out of his head, Mr Twitchy....can't sit still at all!!! Who cares, he's still awesome!!! Do drugs, get smashed....ah, the life of a rockstar!!!

[supermodelbrawl]

so this is wat David Letterman used 2 look like....

[skatertumen]

can i find text version of this interview? please

[HigherPlanes]

I need some booze.

[Pergiacomo]

@slipilica

I love Billy, but all this energy was from load of coke.

[KungPowMeow]

"Oh, I sorta went swimming and had sex..." HA! I love this man

[racingeurope]

this is fuckin good shit, totally wasted, i like this

[OtomoTenzi]

DRUGS!!!

[SuperAlexrios]

why he reminds me so much to elvis presley? THis guy has charisma.He is one of the most under rated artists and persona

[queen7x7]

@SuperAlexrios

yeees

[JosephineJosephine]

Interesting. He doesn't seem out of it at all to me: he seems on top of it, smart and in control of his image.

[EoN604]

David Letterman looks even weirder when he's young than when he's old. He looks like a weird freakin alien squirrel

[t1201971]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[omnithrope]

Ha! I remember watching this live...

[damian32694]

Awesome hair.

[wogedn]

Curious as to what kind of hair-care products he was wearing .. Love his hair!

[emwjmannen2]

High as a house! :)

[marquerr]

Wow, a f*ckin true Rock Star... VERY few in history had this pure genuine greatness in his kind... I grew up lovin him during Charmed life era, now I am 33 and still can't really conceive how outstanding this guy has ever been. Billy Idol, an ageless icon for so many of us.

[xerikaxss]

OMG he is sooo wired! WTF! Anyone can see hes frikkin totally gone...watch anal he is about his "sinus" problems- he licks his lipps trying to catch tha drip so much you know they are chapped!

[TheAbsintheist]

Heh, all the people who say he's not high in this interview you don't know shit about drugs.. He was all kinds of coked up during this but still has style and wit throughout the whole thing. His face says so much just that trademark sneering smirk like when letterman asks about him being violent you can tell he's thinking about something, nice rough sex perhaps?

Billy is the fucking man, its 2010 and he's still kicking ass..

[Gheydolf]

bun fun

[EoN604]

@TheAbsintheist lol you can see he has the coke numb mouth/face thing...

[missboss1988]

david letterman is so stupid and billy is so funny and smart ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[200131356]

i didnt know letterman was on in 1984

[dkara99]

Billy idol u r da best.

[eo3scwspicyburrito]

He's "The Fucking Man"!!!!!!!!!!

[emwjmannen2]

oh yeah muthafucka!

[joenemy]

to answer the descriptions question...coke

[KennYA51]

lol he is fucked. His voice really changed compared @ 1990 interview

[snellashley]

he's gone....lol. hes really changed

[skatertumen]

Can anybody write me text of this interview of give likn to text? i cant hear =(

[Msnikki1303]

@skatertumen hey if you havent found the text yet let me know and I will do my best to write it out for you, :D
