GEN X - DANCING WITH MYSELF

[JabberOff]

The rhythm guitar sounds noticeably different, which almost certainly reflects the fact that Steve Jones played on this version. It's got his trademark buzzsaw tone and scratchy style.

Thumbs up if The Voice got you here

Billy Idol pretty much owned the 80s, can we all admit that? :-)

[mzbfromthebay]

Ya'll might hate me for saying so, but I think Generation X was a far better band than the Pistols. I ♥ Generation X por vida!!!!

[bagelbruin]

@mzbfromthebay

You can't have Generation X without the Sex Pistols. 

[JulioJustiniano]

@bagelbruin Can't have the Sex Pistols without a clothing line and great marketing behind it. Oh, and a druggie bassist.

If something on Glee can ruin this song for you, you need help. Here ya go, Don't watch Glee. Personally I like it, as my family get together once a week to watch it, I also get to see my niece,and I get a home cooked meal.

Yet we agree Billy is Damn good. Steve Stevens is under-rated too.

[mattymath1]

@seethransom

If your family watches Glee you should all be exterminated like roaches. You are of no use to humanity.

[marianneismo]

I knew this song years before Glee ruined it.

[Izybellaz]

@marianneismo Wow. Would you like a damn trophy?

[aeroledbeatgdnirv]

I honestly like this than his solo version.

[spiritalthing]

awsome video :)

[timothybizzles]

fuck glee! glee just ruins songs, and when just one of the "popular" kids thinks glee is good, then the rest follow suit, cause they actually care about what others think! this means every poseur begins to say glee is good, and this just makes it more popular. fuckadoodledoo, glee covered it. anyone who mentions glee after this post is a wannabe popular poseur, if anyone disagrees, then ill shove my docs so far up theyre arse, theyll be there so long, thatll become the new popular craze.

[hellojohnny101]

[psycho705]

Its tyler Durden!



[sparkeones]

A song about

*Fap - Fap

[randomstofil]

@AlligatorsAteCaylee thanks. After carefully comparing both versions, i realize this is much better.

[tacozzrgood15]

They did this on Glee? See I wouldn't know because I don't watch it. To know what songs they do you'd have to watch it.

[RefDiva2]

this is the first time i listen to the original version, it rocks! Both versions are brilliant!

[punxoi90]

i found this song on machete in a punk clothes store

[randomstofil]

Can someone tell me the difference between Gen X's and Billy's solo version?

[randomstofil]

@randomstofil nevermind

[metamaggot]

@randomstofil less prominent guitar on the solo version

[randomstofil]

@metamaggot ok, i think i prefer this version

[TrainmasterCurt]

@randomstofil This one has more edge, and more post-punk, not as polished

[mattymath1]

@randomstofil

Really not much, pretty much an exact copy. A littl bit different timbre, but I don't hear a lot of difference. If one came on the radio at random I'd have a hard time telling you if it was Billy solo or Gen X.

[TheGuinnessboys]

yeah fuck Glee

[melovetorun]

@TheGuinnessboys Fuck Glee and their show. They fuck up the best music ever.

[FernandMaC]

FUCK GLEE!!!

[MrXBLAD]

@FernandMaC how the fuck does glee compare to anything this guys done, unreal

[R2L850]

@FernandMaC didn't know they did this until you mentioned it. i don't watch glee, but i searched the song and omg its terrible.

[musicdork4ever]

what's with the little girl? o.0

[DoctorPretorious616]

That album cover is all types of wrong.

[CHANNELJUDGE]

Cheers

[IwantmyMTVback]

They may have been a short-lived band, but they sure were amazing.

[ripthefranks]

You know, for people who don't like sensitive songs- you all seem pretty oversensitive

[ripthefranks]

Originalmate and sclapione- I don't appreciate your rudeness. I'm allowed to state my opinion- you need to chill

[originalmatete]

saying that glee version is better than this one is like saying that a version of judy is a punk singed by mariah carey is better than the ramones one cuz is "more sensitively sung" FU!

[ripthefranks]

This song is alright I guess- but I think the Glee version and the Nouvelle Vague version are both better because they are more sensitively sung

[originalmatete]

@ripthefranks sensitively sung? this is a song about dancing, about being punk and about caring about nothing but you , sensivity is lost here bro, billy idol rocks!

[ripthefranks]

@originalmatete Yeah but that's one interpretation. My interpretation- and Glee's interpretation is that you are an isolated person but you wish you weren't

[sclapione]

@ripthefranks You should fuck right off What are people like you doing on vids like these ????????? hello ????????????

[ripthefranks]

@sclapione Real mature

[cjm450]

@ripthefranks

Way to miss the point of the song. Go back to your Back St Boys CDs you'll like them even better.

[ripthefranks]

@cjm450 I think the point of the original song is a pretty selfish pigheaded one- and you do know, punks have a reason to be punks- they wouldn't be punks if they weren't unhappy about something

[billsblue89]

@ripthefranks This IS the original...only version of this song. Tell GLEE to go rip off someone else.

[ripthefranks]

@billsblue89 please read my comment- and I'm guessing you're pissed with Nouvelle Vague too

[ItsSomeDeadGuy]

@ripthefranks "more sensitively sung"

lol

[djmusicjac]

billy idol should be crowned SIR billy idol, for his contribution to post punk music

[rocknrollroy2007]

I do not watch Glee, I do not care what songs they do. Whatever songs they do, i prefer the originals. Gen X's Dancing With Myself is awesome, what a classic! Rock on Billy Idol!

[hemicudaboy1]

@rocknrollroy2007 this is the original ( billy idol) i have the cassette who the hell is gen x ???

[isorokudono]

@hemicudaboy1

The John Lydon Fan Club... :|

[mattymath1]

@hemicudaboy1

Doh!

[hemicudaboy1]

@rocknrollroy2007 nevermind sorry  just found out that gex x was billys band b 4 he went solo

[JoggingOnTheMoon]

@hemicudaboy1 yeah apparently they just remixed it a bit and he re-released essentially the same recording solo - then it became a hit!

[mrpp88]

@rocknrollroy2007 Although i tend to agree with you about the originals usually being better, Nouvelle Vague have a great cover of this song!

[StartheFox100]

Please leave horses out of this they make me sad since we might have to put mine down (kill it).

[tautou88]

ugly betty!!

[MrJshort11]

6 people are just too "COOL" do dance with themselves.....

[PEazyE]

6 leute haben keinen musikgeschmack :D

[joseph40979]

i like this version but i like Blink-182 version better

[GOZR]

Yes Generation was Billy idol..



[blubryfields4evr]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[paperfl0wers]

i just found out today idols version was a cover! wow i like this version way better

[HawaiiRampageEX]

You mean Billy idol was part of another group

[Thrashtildeath1]

The Gen X version owns the Idol solo version!! Power chord punk rock!

[Mrstickypoop]

man this version has balls! It's better.

[cejannuzi]

Do you have the album Kiss Me Deadly? It lists Steve Jones for sure. It seems quite likely that James Stevenson plays on it too. The confusion earlier was over the US re-do of the song, with Steve Stevens.

[cejannuzi]

From songfactsdotcom online: >>Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols played the solo. Steve and Billy remain close friends to this day.<< Sounds more like he just did all the guitars and overdubbed it. It sounds almost like a Professionals song.

[JabberOff]

@cejannuzi

Yeah, this version definitely has the Steve Jones signature buzzsaw tone. In that respect it definitely resembles a Professionals track.

[cejannuzi]

S: Let’s hear the story about when Billy recorded ‘Dancing with Myself’ and Steve played on it and then sued you.

J: Really? I did?

I: Your manager did a brilliant job. Jones put this amazing wall of sound on our album....

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@cejannuzi dude you really need to get off steve jones's dick, he's not that good and he didn't even do this.

[cejannuzi]

@TheNewMusicNetwork  Dude, you really need to stand corrected.

[Ezldor]

i liked the glee one better :/

[sandmanhater]

@Ezldor Fuck Glee

[CMeVac]

@sandmanhater you're a fucking faggot man do the world a favor and commit suicide

[LuisDolores2244]

@Ezldor hahahaha r u fukkin high glee sucks compared to this hahahahaha but its your opinion so why am i commenting .....i must be bored

[ashcz002]

@LuisDolores2244 Are you an idiot. He said glee's version sucked...

[LuisDolores2244]

@ashcz002 are you a fucken dumb ass douchebag he said he liked glees version better than this one and I also said its his opinion and I didnt care but I guess sarcasm escapes you since your a rectal wart on a horses ass

[Technodominance]

@Ezldor leave these songs to the people who were meant to play them

[Ezldor]

@Technodominance there is no such thing as meant to play them , if u dont want it touched , then lock it in a vault

[MaxK18]

Why did they have to trim the track after releasing the 12" vinyl? Steve Jones's guitar arrangements at the end is just rockin' and has a bit more edge to it!

This version is the best. I love Billy's solo as much as this band, but the one released in the US is a bit too poppy and radio friendly for my taste.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@MaxK18 this isn't steve jones

[cejannuzi]

@TheNewMusicNetwork Oh yeah it is. See the online interviews of Idol, Jones, and also separate ones with Steve Stevens on how he changed the guitar sound for the American production of the song.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

@cejannuzi james played it and wrote it.

[MaxK18]

@TheNewMusicNetwork

It IS Steve Jones playing the guitar solo (just the solo). He confirmed it himself.

[cejannuzi]

@MaxK18 I would bet he played along chug a lug rhythm. He really comes in on the chorus, you can just tell. I'm not sure who wrote this catchy song, but catchy it is. There is a live version that has Steve Jones and Steve Stevens and two other guitarists playing along. Great fun.

[unclemort1960]

@MaxK18 steve jones played on the album (kiss me deadly) or he supplied his `bollocks` as was said at the time

[VanMeeuwe]

I love Billy Idol and all of his solo stuff, but I like this version a lot better. The guitar gives it just a little bit of an extra edge. It still has that campy 80s feel to it, but you can rock out to it too. This is the version I keep on my ipod and play in my car. :D

[MrBackdarft]

Hi be any change do u have the mp3 on this song! Thanx : ) < Rivermonsters1984@yahoo.com

[MarillionWhite]

Tony James was behind Gen x and Billy Idol was just a hanger on......

The pair were both in a punk band call Chelsea. Then formed Generation X when record sales fell they become Gen X and then Billy went to the States and Tony formed Sigue Sigue ,,, But lets not go there ......

[TwoPointsUp]

Generation X was Idol's original band, b 4 he went "solo"..

[iNinjafied]

I guess people accidentally missed the 'like' button!

[chiyuubi]

This was Billy Idol.

[mrbelmont2000]

who the hell is gen x? this is billy idol

[marksoutof10]

@mrbelmont2000 Yes, it IS Billy Idol. Gen X (a.k.a. Generation X) is the band he was in before he went solo.

[MuckyGhost]

Such an excellent song! :D I heard it on Men Who Stare At Goats and thought, I recognize that title... I typed it into iTunes and found I had the Glee version. Oh well :)

[njplr]

Early 1980 NYC me, disco'd out guido, in Capezio store, in the Village, to buy shoes. Mid sale, clerk (very punk) screams "Dancin with myself, this is my song!", leaves me utterly, and starts cavorting all over the store. The other employees just nodded approvingly. I was impressed. Still love this record today.

[SSBBmasterXD]

BILLY IDOL IS GENERATION X

[eskorbutinful]

yeahhh

[acida17]

@eskorbutinful moSScar... estas en lo cierto yeah buena,no?

[cejannuzi]

Yeah, by this time GEN X was punk's first supergroup. Got to wonder what the Clash's issues were with Tory Crimes/Terry Chimes.

[unclemort1960]

@cejannuzi terry/tory told strummer and co. he wanted a flash sports car

[toadfan64]

I tell you what if I heard eithe version without seeing te artist I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, both excellent though

[mrianmj]

Don't know about the guitar, but I'm pretty damn sure that's Terry Chimes knocking seven bells out of the drums - that's his style: simple, powerful and stylish little fills.

[firelord276]

the guitar sounds like steve jones playing. pretty sure he is playing in this.

[CRASHDDZ]

sigue sigue sputnik ftw !!!!!
