Billy Idol Plays Jump

[TheNewChadSmith]

Steve Steven is the best of all time in Billy Idol

[TheNewChadSmith]

Best Cover too



[5150VanAlien]

If David Lee Roth leaves Van Halen AGAIN, we have his replacement standing by...Billy

[rockstralia1]

Awesome!!

[Charlesrocks]

LOVE IT!!!!

[matteoprez]

Holy jesus christ, they're better than VH

[andras2011]

he had a greatest come back ever, better than the new one:))))

So fucking singer, guitarist, drummer, band, cover- no more ideas!!

[steve51704000]

That was tighter than a frog's ass!

[kelzclive]

WOW! Awesome cover, I never thought I would see or hear Billy do this. They did the song the way it needed to be done, they didn't overplay or over sing it.Thanks for the up.

[SteveFreakStevens]

Billy is Back!!!!!

or Van Halen????

i dont Know

great cover

[jamesskb]

I love all the old rock acts, but everyone who is on the Geritol tour these days uses teleprompters.

[LordSnow69]

Great performances, all the clips I've seen of this show... but why does he appear to be reading a teleprompter on his own songs too?

[guitargup]

@LordSnow69 ummm it's actually not a teleprompter :)...there's nothing there in front of billy except for stage monitor speakers...pause it and see for yourself... Please people!!! stop asking questions... just watch the friggin video will ya?....sheesh :) GO BILLY and STEVE!!!!!

[LordSnow69]

@guitargup He's got in-ear monitors, he wouldn't need to be paying that close attention to the wedges. Nah he's reading, and as I said even on some of his own songs.

[guitargup]

@LordSnow69 you are obviously mistaken,..I'm a professional musician and I think I know what a stage monitor looks like...lol Look,..it's a speaker, not a screen. > @33 seconds you can see the left of the angled speaker cabinet(stage monitor) and >@ 51 seconds paused, you can see the front of the speaker set, and paused >@ 1:02 you can see the stage monitor SPEAKERS from Billy's perspective....pause it at those times I specified and you will see for yourself..because everyone else can see :)

[LordSnow69]

@guitargup You're an idiot is what you are. They bury the teleprompter in a cabinet that looks like a monitor wedge so it can be up front.

[raydog699]

@LordSnow69 Billy can  read?

[British0Pixie]

Great cover and you have to give the drummer his props

he rocks harder than Alex Van Halen on their own song!

[VictorIdol]

SO FUCKING GOOD :)

[tjsellscars]

Dude is looking at the lyrics on the floor.

[guitargup]

@tjsellscars no he's not actually......51 seconds in ,..pause it.. and you will see all there is in front of the stage are speakers :)

[tania547]

This is fucking AWESOME!

[ernieballmusic5150]

steve kicks ass !

[rinnah1168]

this is a freaking awesome cover! best i've heard!

[DicklessWonder2]

Billy...all the choir/music directors tell you to sing from your "stomach".  Your effort on this song tells me you got to sing from your balls. F'in Excellent! Thank you!

[petrosonrocking]

Powerful cover! aww my

[johnsoncm65]

I'm not sure that Billy doesn't actually do a better job on this than Dave. I'd rather listen to Steve Stevens today than Eddie today, anyway. Eddie's getting a bit scatterbrained while Steve is still totally focused.

[DicklessWonder2]

@johnsoncm65

and you can't forget Derek Sherinian on the boards! Steve Rocks it!

[dudeofmuchrock]

what a ho



[whtswrngwthupeople]

can you get this cover on Itunes yet??

[Kangsryche]

Fantastic cover!!!!!

[suntexistimo]

they built it all up, it works and people all came for peaceful reason. humans are truly the winners. now they can concentrate on the best things. this is the best things. BILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! truly the winners!!!! truly the winners!!!

[5150VanAlien]

Classic stuff....Steve does a great job on guitar by blending his style and not ripping off Eddie's. He also uses what seems to be the old EVH Musicman guitar. Now that's respect.

[Jasn1111]

@5150VanAlien EVH gave it to SS when Billy Idol opened for VH in the 90s.

[5150VanAlien]

@Jasn1111 Thanks for the insight dude.

[DicklessWonder2]

@Jasn1111

Sorry, who's "SS"?

[Jasn1111]

@DicklessWonder2 Steve Stevens is Billy Idols guitarist.

[stripes5150]

@Jasn1111 not true....the ernie ball ss is playing is just a plain axis...sorry but you are wong.....check out the toggle switch position.

[Lezenko]

Best suicide song ever :) LOL

[prunaca]

Billy Steve and Derek.......fucking awesome.

[grignyak]

Billy Idol and his band totally rip it up! excellent rendition!! 5 stars :)

[lexy67flc]

I now have a new respect for Billy Idol's singing voice. Nice work dude! And he's still looking pretty healthy and in good shape after all these years.

[MissNicotin]

Holy Fucking shit! That's from the "In Super Overdrive" - Concert! That song was not on the DVD, just like Mony Mony. Damn it. They left the Best. Still lovin Idol, for his fucking Greatness ;)

[compelx]

Who's gunna redo jump next? Jean-Luc Picard?

[BlackChristmas283]

I certainly hope so.

[grignyak]

@compelx no,... I heard Will Ryker and Golom were gonna do the next one.. LOL

[iamthesupremeone]

Billy can copy anybody and make it sound like his original

[PunkMartyr]

This is the most bad ass thing i've seen all day

[ThePunkin76371]

yea live billy idol

billy idol is my idol

[ThePunkin76371]

awesome voice

[sickphil71]

Jeez, two musicians playing Eddie's parts and they STILL can't hit it!

[Armageddon654]

stevens is good guitar player but i think that michael angelo batio is the best guitar player in the world

[djmixor]

i couldn't disagree with you more...

[yeotao]

excellent...derek sherinian on keys...great patch...clean and accurate playing...go derek!

[jclueben]

Steve Stevens best guitar player on the planet bar none. No one argue. Tell me there is someone who is better.

[redrocker1055]

There's no such thing as best guitarist... There is only different!!!

[shiwadiva1]

marc knopfler?

[sickphil71]

Eddie Van Halen. Sir John Williams. Vitto Bratta. The less dumpy chick from Heart.

[007monkeyman2]

hehehe

[sef68]

@jclueben While I love Stevens style and work, there is 1 Guitarist that is better. Paul Gilbert. If you don't know who he is, look him up. You may argue that it's different styles after seeing him and that is true. I don't think Stevens could touch Gilbert. As good as Stevens is.

[racrx32]

great vid! thanks!

[redrocker1055]

Best Van Halen cover band... Ever!!!

Stevens was awesome and Is anyone else feeling Billy as the new lead singer for Van Halen???.

[thenaturallyinsane1]

@redrocker1055 Aerosmith wanted him while Steven was in his troubled state...but he said no

[wildridetoo]

@redrocker1055 Dump Dave and bring back Sammy!

[plexi59]

na, non è il suo genere

[billyidol01]

Tiene muchos covers en sus recitales y discos y lo bien que los hace.

[donsixto]

Espectacular!!!... y buena calidad!!!

[mandoarroyoroldan]

Idol covering this crap... he loss selfrespect.

[ruantengyi]

Idol sings way better than David Lee roth.

[54spiritedwill54]

Good version, very tight!

[mcquestion]

Pretty good cover. Most bands sound like shit when they cover VH but this was half decent. Well done.

[stuart5150]

This kicks ass nice job :O)

[gtrkit]

Hell yeah..! Great cover Idol! Sounds Great!

[tkgyamato]

great cover!!

this is rock!!!

[helljumpr5150]

Great cover. Love to see them jam or open for Van Halen

[ozzymeetsjesus]

This is just pure shit. He can't even sing the chorus right. And theres a reason Derek got Kicked out of dream theater, he fuckin sucked. Thats why he only played on a change of seasons and falling into infinity (which both sucked)

And anyone who disagrees can lick my sack. From the top of my ass crack clear to the end of the scrotom. And I mean that from the depths of my soul.

And I dare anyone with a half a brain to read this and just ignore it. No thumbs down or replies. Or I win!

[WACKY23970]

You'd like a load of guys lickin your sack would you?

Why don't you try one of those gay chat sites? You might find someone to lick your scrotum there!

[ozzymeetsjesus]

I WIN!

[martialartsRA1]

dude just cos he doesnt sing the corus properly doesnt matter he has put his own twist on it, same as steve playing through the key's solo, do they have to copy it exactly whats the point may aswell jump on stage and chuck th cd on and play it, and go lick your own crack hope you choke off a fur ball ahahah

[alaneg]

Just because he´s got a famous name doesn´t mean he have to be a good singer, actually, in my honest opinion, he sucks, it is totally hearable on Rock am Ring video...

[ozzymeetsjesus]

I WIN!

[tyronewilliams25]

You dont know shit!!

[ozzymeetsjesus]

I WIN!

[Zyon51]

Billy is the Master!!!

[PrometheusX9]

Billy is Amazing live!

[rodrigozamo]

and nobody has mentioned derek sherinian... amazing keyboardist, former member of dream theater and amazing musician too... perfect effect for the song... very nice cover

[brrrrrr7]

YES BILLY IS BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER IN JUMP AND IN ALL.

and that s all.

[stemean]

Is this a dvd?!?

[hardnitz74]

Very nice job by Steve Stevens! Eddie would be proud:)

[FORDCOUNTRY7885]

Idol does a better job on this song than anybody other than Diamond Dave himself.

Far better than the cheese peddling tequila salesman.

[vdeferens]

Oh. I like cheese. And tequila. Oh. *sniff*

[whtswrngwthupeople]

@FORDCOUNTRY7885 oh I dont know about that, Idol got a great voice for this song but Diamond Dave really rocked this one with his high range.

[blasty5150]

@FORDCOUNTRY7885 Thats funny, I'll take Sammy anyday....

[mightyjavy]

billy idol>van halen

[rudetube2525]

fantastic band, billy sang it as well as anybody....check out singing this live then try telling us billy can't sing....fuckin' half wits!!!

[artemis2085]

Where the hell was this footage taken from? Is there a full version out there??

[Vandekamps01]

Can u say "Hall of Fame" bb. Rock on Billy!.

[Vandekamps01]

Ru Fuckin kidding me!!!!!!. Not a very good singer. He's probably one of the best POWER! vocalist of our time!. His range and tone are breathtaking. Ask anyone in the business over the last 25 years. Where he Billy Idol ranks as far as voice quality? He's certainly top 10 or 15. Most vocalist would die to just have his power, let alone his rare tonal quality. Then match it to his range which is probably 3 or maybe 4 octaves back in his prime.

[ACIDSEN]

Fett!

[mofra6]

Van Halen hatte da nich so viel power =) Idol is besser

[billyidol01]

Excelente

[richiekotzen]

i really like this version. and i like that the synth part part is being played live.

billy was never a very good singer, but it's not about that,

just goes to show you how special van halen were.

[666tich88]

billy was never a very good singer

r u deaf???

[domino68]

fuck you

[richiekotzen]

i really like this version. hey, billy was never a very good singer anyways. i also like that there is no backing track, that someone is really playing the synth part.

just goes to show you that van halen in their prime were the best band in the world.

[christy7208]

nice version-billy looked drunk and as if he was reading the lyrics off the teleprompter in front of him! not bad, but bass guitar and everyone else needs to have their volumes turned down when a guitar solo is done-other than that is was far better version than the van halen on their current tour by far!

[vdeferens]

yeah cos you can mix a gig better than the pro who is paid ridiculous amounts of money to tour with the cream of the crop of musicians of the world.

[880873]

Steve rocks - he's got the right guitar for it too,,, the EVH custom peavey.

[blackdiamond2804]

Its not the Peavey, Steve plays the Ernie Ball EVH. Has done for years & apparently loves it.

[aluciboy33]

Where and when it was the show??

[IndioFreak]

Still fuckin' Steve Stevens, Billy is still wasted, the drummer is so much an Alex VH fan that he does the flying drumstick gimmick as Al does in the video... but I liked it.

[mmarocker]

Who isn't an Alex Van Halen fan? And Billy does seem a little...funny.

[Bassplayer691]

backup singers are really bad

[Hunkola]

Tight....fuckin' TIGHT!

[mftb1]

Billy can sing anything he wants.

[ozzymeetsjesus]

except this.

[phuongdh]

Good version, very tight!

[ozzymeetsjesus]

so was your mother.

[phuongdh]

as opposed to your mom
