I was 19. It was my summer. Worked at the lake. Had this Idol album on cassette. Played it a million times while staring at all the bathing suit betties from the boat launch station. And then drinking and partying with them at night when I got off work ;) Big car stereos were getting popular then. Loaned the album a couple times to guys who wanted to hear it and listened to it as they cruised the campground. unbelievable summer fun.
Kick-ass. You don't need a gun...unless you're in a dictatorship outside of the US/UK, so that you can bully the dicktators out of office. That's the whole idea.
18 years old, summers morning, I'd get off the tube at Sloane Square, put this on the Walkman, put on my Ray-bans & strut down the Kings' Road to work & everything was OK.
THIS HAS GOT TOBE THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG, MY ONLY GRIPE IS THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT THE 'GUITAR' BIT IN, LIKE IN THE 'VIDEO' VERSION. I WANT THIS PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!
No papparazzi, It means that if you are gonna really do something, you don't need a weapon or a tool to do do something, that you're gonna do it no matter how.
1990 Balatonfüred,azok voltak a szép idők,rég volt,sajnos,de legalább lesz mire visszaemlékeznem a fiatalságomból.Nagyon kösz,hogy feltetted,akkoriban megvolt kazettán,de már régóta kerestem a neten,hogy újra halljam.
yeah, this was ALWAYS one of my favorites,i didnt remember it on Miami Vice, but it DEFINaTELY has that feel. i remember b4 i moved out of NYC, i used to listen to this cd everyday. i purchased this one years after it came out, but it still is INCREDIBLE.
well this sucks (not the song, the song is amazing)
my Whiplash Smile CD is broken...and i wanted to put it on my XBox
i had the album on my computer...normally i'd just burn it onto a CD...but, of course, the ONE song missing on my computer is Don't Need a Gun (which ironically happens to be my favorite Billy Idol song, not on the album, but period) so i can't burn it to a CD (probly should've also mentioned the burner is broken, too)
Billy's best album. Don't know why he doesn't hear that himself.

Tom Petty has always been my musical lover, but now I think Tom and Billy are tied.
