It was the guitar solo at the end of this track that inspired me to pick up electric guitar. Twenty-eight years later, I can still barely play electric guitar, what gives?
:)
(actually this was a favorite track of mine and I am forever in debt to Steve Stevens, or maybe I should say, BECAUSE of Steve Stevens; who taught me to wail on the electric).
I bought my first new car in 1988, and priority one was to jam this song on the cassette player the SECOND I got on the highway. Mission accomplished.
ps- most lyrics websites are totally wrong on the words.
@BradiKal61 Thats fantastic!!! I got this new in 84' when I was 19 in my first car and I would drive and drive and drive playing this over and over on cassette. In my top ten most listened to albums. hundreds and hundreds of times. I wore out four of the fuckas.....great music!!
I used to think that part of the lyrics were, "walk with electro glide on the blue highway" and according to a bunch of lyrics pages it should be, walk with the legs you're blind. That makes even less sense! Urgh!
@6of6 i figured out that too i thought it was walk with electro glide but it was walk with the legs your blind its sounds good anyway i figured out in a some songs he mumbles
OMG!!!!! Que recuerdos, tenía este disco hace mucho... Venía en un set/caja azul de 5 discos si no me equivoco en la edición peruana que es la de la foto. Gracias, no sabes cuáaantos recuerdos me has traido a la memoria optical2zoom
I also have this album....and so glad I came upon this on YT....reliving how much I have always loved this song....used to ride at the back of a pick-up while on the highway with my arms out and my face against the wind....and this song blasting....makes me want to ride a bike on the highway...
With out a DOUBT. The most UNDERATED Billy Idol song OF ALL TIME. This guy was sooooooo far ahead of his time. Thank you for 25 years of rock Billy! YOU ARE STIL THE MAN!
any one who has Billy Idol in their blood will Always look AHEAD. He has been with me through some great times and some bad times . and any one joining the forces of any description, is a hero. just like Billy
Love this song & thanks for putting it up! Remeber listening to this as I was stuck in the back seat while my parents drove cross country. Maybe the only reason I still have a shred of sanity. Cheers!
Song is based on a dream he had. Its why he wrote it and what its about,,,just a dream and thanks to his dream for giving us this Great Rock song.....
I guess true if you were into being all fucked up while ridin. Me, no thanks man. I know too many that have gone down and are not here today. I'm glad I left it (Bike) in the shed while I was fucked up.
i love it too...i looked up the lyrics, and now that i know exactly what he's saying i'm more confused. great song, the lyrics are nonsense i think it just sounds good together.
Hi Roudy,,Just wanted to let you know this song is based on a dream that Billy Idol had and we all know how wierd dreams can be so if the song doesnt make sense its ok, it was just a dream and this is a Great Great song, Love it..
I see there are others that like this song as much as I do. Maybe because it is a great song or maybe because it never got over played like White Wedding or Rebel Yell, either way, thanks for posting. It can also be caught on XM, generally 44 or 49.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have not heard this song in about 20 years and I had it stuck in my head today. I came to YouTube hoping someone had done exactly what you did. Your timing could not have been better!
I'm 22, and i say BIEBER TOP THIS!!!!
