VH1 Storytellers - Billy Idol

Summary: WHAAAAA!!!!
Review: This DVD is must have for Idol fans and ANYONE who loves to crank up their surround sound system to the max even if it just to show it off. The performance is flawless, the picture is crystal clear, and the sound is crisp and punchy! Billy shows us while explaining some of the songs that he has a brain and a great sense of humor as well. I think anyone remotely interested in this type of genre will sit back and watch this disc over and over just to catch things you may not have upon first viewing. A definite must have for rock fans.

Review: What a show. We had the fortune to be front row last year for the taping (thanks carole!) and it was a classic! If you have any memories of the 80's you have to get this one! He was in rare form and told some great stories about the songs.

Review: Write off Billy as an MTV cartoon character, but he has more balls and a better voice than any other singer from the 70's punk or 80's hard rock scene. On this dvd his voice sounds as strong as ever; and to say the performance is extremely high energy and spirited is putting it mildly. With Steve Stevens back on guitar this album builds to a climax that flat-out rocks concluding with "Mony Mony" & a great cover of the Door's "LA Woman". The songs sound as fresh now as the did almost 20 years ago. Idol is one of only a few singers who can combine good ole' 50's Eddie Cochran-Gene Vincent era rock 'n' roll, 70's punk, and 80's hard rock. Billy's ace in the hole is Steven's guitar. Stevens rips thru the Gen X classic "Ready Steady Go" and the acoustic playing on "Cradle Of Love" is killer 50's style Hank Marvin or James Burton.
The sound is great and Billy's band comes thru loud and clear.
I may not be Ernest Hemingway but I know my music as well as anyone. If you are or even were a Billy Idol fan this dvd is a must have. And as far as generation gap? My 9 year old daughter must have played "Mony, Mony" and least 10 times in a row. Of course I told her Billy was singing "Get paid, get luck" during the chorus.
