Billy Idol - Heroin (Original)

[markloverock]

Used this song for my streap teases in 1997...exciting!

[62darwal]

jest dobry

[Ellieurs]

I love this track - such a good version of this track!

[TheCorazyCam]

The following opinion is very justifiable: This is the worst cover of a song ever.

[wolfoshea]

@TheCorazyCam this is the only one i know.

[TheCorazyCam]

@wolfoshea Only cover song or only version of the song "Heroin"?

[wolfoshea]

@TheCorazyCam billys verson

[TheCorazyCam]

@wolfoshea In that case, I recommend listening to the original recording by The Velvet Underground. It's very different from this "cyber-punk" cover, but the accompanied music for the original song is far more fitting for the lyrical content than this strange techno-dance cover.

[wolfoshea]

@TheCorazyCam nah i think ill stick with billy

[dfminky]

@TheCorazyCam I love the original, and this version. They are very different, but I like that he put his own twist on it. Sometimes I'm more in the mood for this than the original. To each his own, but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a different version.

[wolfoshea]

im just glad he got clean before it was too late.

[mrh785]

I was BIG fan of H & pills, now I'm a fan of methadone!

[wolfoshea]

i love him but the sunglasses make him look like max headroom.

[schulzianer]

Jesus died for someboby sins but not mine.

I think so!!!

[wolfoshea]

@schulzianer i love that line.

[sonicdeath10]

@schulzianer Ripped from Patti Smith.

[arsenicliquid]

[whtswrngwthupeople]

I love it when Billy Idol covers songs and totally makes them his own.

[LOLIamEpic]

did iggypop also made a nother version of theis or no

[whtswrngwthupeople]

@LOLIamEpic iggy pop sucks

[humanfarm]

.... its all consuming, all providing and you need nothing more. And that is why. Peolple loose thier life over it. it renders ordinary life useless. Why work so hard when everything you can get everything you ever wanted, all the feelings that success can ever afford plus more beyond ur wildest fucking dreams. If your reading this thinking: bullshit this guy's just a junkie, than good 4 u it means u did not decide to experiment like I did when I thought that. Trust me its that good.

[humanfarm]

Yes, Heroin is that good. How good? so good that you don't give a fuck about robbing ur mom or draining ur spouses bank account. it supplys all you need and IS the feeling you been looking for your entire life while buying expensive clothing, or cars, or anything you do to feel good about yourself. It makes you feel like your back in the womb and nothing can touch you. Why do you think people loose thier life over it because its just ok?

[SouthPhillyHooligan]

This is a cover that should have never been.

[MorganHealing]

I love the album und the Cyberpunk-RPG...put them to gether and "be free"

[RoxxyStarrz]

@MorganHealing Which RPG? Cbyerpunk, Cyberpunk 2020 or GURPS Cyberpunk? =P

[MorganHealing]

I love the album und the Cyberpunk-RPG...put them to gether and "be free"

[ladyintotheblue]

absolutly fantastic! One of my favorite songs. Love it. rrrrrrrrrright...

[jogga16]

LOL such a strange cover. Lou Reed and the Velvets anyday over this but still an interesting cover.

[ExoSkelify]

[millerchance007]

@ExoSkelify Loud Reed..? was this song a cover of his song? if so i never knew that

[jogga16]

[ExoSkelify]

Lou Reed...

[CATinBOOTS81]

I will continue to listen to this album for all days of my life.

[VanCityKyle]

I love this song... And i can relate to being on heroin.. its bittersweet!!

[ScorpionOfTheSea]

@VanCityKyle Yeah...once you start, nothing else ever feels as good. I constantly compare my physical and mental state to that of being high and it never measures up...so even though I chip I'm always fiending during the week :( it's better than being sick though!

[depeche609]

@CATinBOOTS81 AGREED! It's the weirdest Idol CD and the best.

[moutraki23dm]
