Billy's natural fast life style had started catching up with him in this video,, he looks thinner than just a year earlier,, maybe he had been on tour or somthing
Another mislabeled video claiming a live version. This is obviously the studio version, complete with radio/edit over a bit of canned applause. A very common music video "trick" back in the day. I am convinced the YouTubers putting up these titles, use it to inflate their hits count, which makes them LAME.
Those were the good old Days, I remember seeing Billy Idol in a small night Club in Garden City, New York. in 1984
I had a 'Hot" Date with a very attractive young Girl , I was wearing "All" black leather & bought a Large Case of "Beer" in the small-big wide Bottles ; & while waiting on line, I gave out most of the case of beer, to everyone & had my few beers.
Wow....The place was packed full to the rim, & without those Big Floor Fans, I would have melted away from the intense "Heat".
This is lip-syncing, for those who still question it.....the song is actually longer than this, if you ever got the original album (I did), portions were edited out for the music video: a longer entre before Idol actually starts singing, additional parts to the Climb:
Hanging out by the state line,
Turning holy water into wine
Drinkin' it down, oh
these were left out of the music vid to shorten the song. And it's also left out of this "live" performance. It's not live...
On December 24,2006 at 8 o' clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Jackson was found dead.Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death.His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened.Turns out he was still signed in to myspace.she found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter.if you don't repost this to 6 videos a girl with no face with kill you tonight. sorry don't wanna die
if you look at his pics when he was little about 12 he was chubby and had glasses but now so damn hot geeks became rich and famous how freaking cool is that now i wish i was a geek and too bad im too young for him
read Once Upon a star - celebrity kiss and tell stories on amazon by Peggy Trentini She dated Billy and a host of other rock stars. It brings you back to the day
@sydfloydpink you have really no idea,what about his absolutely cool bariton voice? and Steve Stevens Guitar?they written this song together.And what about the Energy they have on stage,even when Billy is not stoned,you can hear him live on yt,but don't forget ,this man lived his live till almost he's bitter end,that's why we love him, he is still alive,always authentic,always true...
@th1rtyf0ur Most bands lipsynched at the time. People just had fun, no matter if live or lipsynched. No comparison to today, completely different context !
The skepticism about lip syncing started actually around 1990 when Milli Vanilla got exposed, since then people often take a negative attitude about performance lip syncing.
Apart from the microphone drop, did you notice the guitar strap coming off as well? Just as he swings it round, the strap slips off. Tucks it into his groin and carries on, the sign of a true pro...make it part of the act. I love this vid.
at .34 seconds that is a serious microphone drop! And no feedback from it hmmmm, maybe Ashley Simpsons not so bad. Nahhh she still sucks, Billy rules.
We need our rockstars to be rockstars again, we need them to be stoned, we need them to be sexy, we need them to be larger than life!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED THEM BACK
Yeah, I better realize- you're not in my bed : )))) You are amazing, fantastic, unbelievable, fabulous, incredible, and I am just a little drunk girl from Macedonia : )))
Anyway, good performance from Mr Idol, and I am happy he did the lip-synch, because I can imagine that the singing is not top class when you are on drugs.
