Billy Idol Interview - Night Flight - Violence

[StroppySeconds]

Don't be a bully...

[punkSAluver]

Billy Idol is such a huge inspiration on me, what he says is actually true. Plus, he's really hot and intelligent.

[jarno27]

Is he a doctor?

[Guestarable]

Beautiful, well spoken and decent.

[inhisgrace007]

[lucossska]

[brightlights456X]

He could easily be talking about todays Rap scene aswell.

[dospampas09]

he looks so gay with this outfit and too much make up but he has a pretty face...he looks like hayden christensen. imo

[666TWISTEDFREAK]

WHAT A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS,SHAM & UPSTARTS NEVER PROMOTED VIOLENCE THESE BANDS WHERE AGAINST VIOLENCE,IT WAS A SMALL MINORITY OF NF/ NAZI SKIN HEAD RETARDS AT THE GIGS THAT CAUSED THE VIOLENCE. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS AT SOME OF THESE GIGS BACK IN THE DAY.

[kyulrobert]

Sexiest voice ever.

[gahloot]

@kyulrobert Adam Ants is better!

[jetsat100]

@kyulrobert yes,never found a sexier voice

[tacosaucemafia]

Didn't john lydon and billy go to the same school and hang out together?

[petelabeat]

@tacosaucemafia I don`t know if they went to the same school, but Billy Idol was part of the Bromley Contingent so I guess they hung out together.

[Kayz13x4]

Nawwww! He's like," I don't wanna see no violence!" I think that's sweet! And he's cute!

[rockyz58]

If you're Billy Idol you are the coolest and you wear whatever you

want. Thanks for posting

[theroyalqueenmab]

The kid I lost my virginity to looks exactly like Billy Idol I loved it

[sinbysin666]

"That's why I'm still here".

Ehm.. you sure it's not because you started making pop music?

[howltothemoon101]

[arealOpia1991]

[christschool]

[jaymusseato]

>the ANGELIC UPSTARTS forever !!!!

[anthonynewsome]

used to see him around london on the club scene in the mid 70's he was just amazing to look at - stunning beautiful - and a very decent lad -

[jetsat100]

@anthonynewsome really you did? how cool is this!

[anthonynewsome]

@jetsat100 yep all the heads of punk were about london then - just b4 it exploded in 76 - glad I was a teen back then & experienced that amazing time - pity the conservative/bland/homophobic/­saggy arsed youth culture of today being forced fed sludge -

[AndPlus]

He has neatly encapsulated the punk rock ethos in a nutshell. Very articulately done considering it appeared completely off the cuff

[katoness]

Punks are really just angry hippies.

[kuttersprodukt]

@katoness one of the most hilarious comments of all times ! Thanks !

[JesusPerkele666]

He's a cool guy but...is that the gayest sweater he could find or didn't he look any further?.

[AgentF84s]

you guys must admit billy here has a bigger heart then many Christian's people and he dont lie at all...i think he's totaly right here

NO violence

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Billy IDOL ROCKS HARDER THAN NU PUNK!!!

[AKMAC82]

wow. a great little segment here. intelligent and sensitive. Imagine that. You'll NEVER EVER hear Katy Perry or anyone that has become a megastar in the last 10 yrs sound remotely like that.

[kevhar12]

This was around the time I started really getting into him. I `ve been following him since. Billy Idol rules!

[GothicLolitaDaisy]

[jrmetmoi]

[MultiMira22]

[BehindTheSpiderEyes]

[snooky396]

[villezlovrgrl666]

[dontleademsomuch]

[anthraxmikeydoolin]

Amazing Quality

[sallygirl2066]

[desamator11]

[redpeterable]

Oh my god. I could not be more in love with this man.

[sallygirl2066]

hes really smart

[viper8red]

HERO TO THE X-GEN! Billy Idol you still own!! Thanks for making the journey with us.

[sclapione]

@viper8red "HERO TO THE X-GEN!"

He's a Baby Boomer

[viper8red]

@sclapione Well yah he was born in 55 and x-gen is usually 60-80's. But I say x-gen because of the genre of music he was making. He wasn't out there doing Beach Boy covers.

[christschool]

@sclapione The X Generation were those born in the 1960's and up to mid 1970's. Billy Idol's music was popular at this generations teen years, so yeah, Billy Idol's music was the most popular during Gen X teen years and thus he is a hero of Generation X. The year he was born is irrelevant.

[jaymusseato]

>when did Sham or the Upstarts ever encourage their audience to KILL PEOPLE ???

a gross misrepresentation!

>"IF THE KIDS ARE UNITED" -sham 69...????

[ScragNath]

@jaymusseato

George davis is Innocent?

Right.

[MrJunk696]

Where the fuck is Steve Stevens ?!

[KonChul]

2, Sham69 fans voted this down lolz...

[preciousbash]

HOTNESS! LOVE BILLY IDOL!!

[Baloonsnufsaid]

I totally agree with him!! I love him!!

[toshjyeau]

center>

[JAMneg3]

This was a really great interview. I totally agree with Billy Idol a lot of people lost focus on what punk really is.

[AgentF84s]

@JAMneg3 Billy has a big heart and is like jesus in rock/punk-history ...he was rich from the begninng but only care about others

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

This gemini retard below me hasn't nary a fucking clue as to what she's talking about.  She wasn't even alive when this came out.

Case closed

[GeminiBabe1996]

@TheNewMusicNetwork I'm sorry, but what have I ever done to you for you?

I know I wasn't alive when this was out. And how am I a retard and delusional? For speaking my opinion?

[GeminiBabe1996]

@TheNewMusicNetwork And just because I'm young/younger, does not make me stupid.

[jjaniero]

@TheNewMusicNetwork  actually she makes a lot more sense than anything you contributed here

you sound constipated

and she's right about idol being a rocker

case closed?

your mind is closed

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

she sounds like a loser, just like you. too bad you both lack the proper mental acuity to understand. ha ha ha

[iDirtyDianaX]

love this interview

plus, he's too yummy here.. i wanna jump him lol

[GoldenXen]

Anarchi unviolent what???

[MalloryDidIt]

@GoldenXen Yeah. Most anarchists believe in anarchy, equality, and peace.

[phastasm]

Other punk bands didn't take billy serious because of his good looks and having a melody in his punk songs..........but hey, screw them, he went on to have the one of most successful careers out of any of those punk era wannabes had and one of the best hair styles in the biz i might add.

[fabulousdisaster93]

Billy is so right here. I completley agree.

[idolsonne]

Yeahhh Nice..Thanks

[GeminiBabe1996]

This is one of my favorites too! :D

Thanks for posting this!

Oh my! He is so intelligent.

What an inspiration. :)

[real80smusic]

It was about change

[GeminiBabe1996]

@real80smusic Okay? Yes it was, but he still answered intelligently. :D

[real80smusic]

Sort of. Billy is a bit sore because he was trashed sometimes in the punk scene back in the uk as a fraud or more of a rocker than a punk. That's just the facts. I've read a lot about it.

Anyway I agree with what he says about senseless violence but if that violence is directed in a proper way at the authorities, govt, etc that are holding people down, I see no problem in that.

[real80smusic]

And if people don't see that govts are a problem today, then they are blind.

[GeminiBabe1996]

@real80smusic I never really saw him as punk artist. Only his clothes. His style is more rock.

Also, in what way can violence be directed in a proper way? He was right about those bands who sang about destroying stuff and how they're not around anymore.

[real80smusic]

Well that's because you're a delusional retard at times. You thought ladyboy garbage was actually talented. I had to explain to you that she just copied missing persons and berlin.

Violence can be directed in a proper way against those that oppress you.

How else?

Are you stupid or something gb?

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

Actually you sound pretty stupid and delusional like some down syndrome muppet.

Get a life, mental midget.

[jjaniero]

@TheNewMusicNetwork why are you polluting youtube with your ugly posts? YOU sound like the mental midget here

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@jjaniero why are you showing your oligophrenia. i.e. extreme mental retardation once again? haven't you got a boyfriend to suck off?

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@jjaniero i bet you're an ugly turd colored muppet.
