512.0. "BILLY IDOL LIVES" by BREW11::TIMMINS () Tue Oct 10 1989 18:21

    
    A note section on BILLY IDOL for U.K. fans.
    
    His new L.P should be out in January '89  "The Charmed Life"
    I have the track listing if anyone is interested there's a 
    cover version of the Doors "L.A Woman".
    
    In a recent interview the Album is rated as his best to date
    Can't wait to see him live in the new year.

    Steve Stevens has left the band now, Idol is dead. Look at the excuse
    of an album "Whiplash Smile". he's lost the raw rock and roll energy.
       
    Bring back Rebel Yell !!

512.4Ahhh! The glorious long-lost days of punk rock.WELMTS::GREENBDatacrime alert! Datacrime alert!Fri Oct 13 1989 13:4210
    Yeaaah! I saw Gen X *many* yeara ago, and they were great! This
    was even before the release of RSG or Your Generation. Funny, although
    I liked them a lot live, their records never really cut it for me.
    And what a lot of tosh this band spawned - Tony James went on to
    form sigue Sigue Sputnik, Billy Idol's solo career has only ever
    inspired me to fall asleep, and Bob Andrews went on to play in the
    (IMHO) tedious posters, Westworld. Whatever happened to their (GenX)
    drummer?

    Ahem....
    
    This topic is about Idol as a solo artist, thats why I mentioned
    Rebel Yell. AS A SOLO ARTIST its the best thing he's ever done (or
    should I say that Steve Stevens has done).
