We are used to Billy Idol rocking out like the Rocker that he is. However, when he was in the studio with Yoshiki, he changed his tune. Literally.
As the pianist tickled the ivories with John Lennon’s Imagine, Idol sang the words. Even though the singer kept the melody authentic, he was dancing like himself. Therefore, I do not know what to make of it. He sounded great, but it looked strange.
I wonder why he did that like that because his Christmas album looks and sounds very Perry Como. That is why it is my go-to one for the holiday season. This song, better than most of the people who did it on American Idol, but his dancing was so distracting. I guess he made it his own.

Back in 1981, Billy Idol released Dancing with Myself as a solo artist and he is still dancing with himself to it nearly 40 years later. The other day when he heard the song playing at a restaurant, he did what that tune is all about. Granted, the mirror this time around turned out to be a cellphone camera.

An ’80s girl’s wet dream: Billy Idol and Dave Wakeling |

Back in the ’80s, Billy Idol was dancing with himself. While Dave Wakeling was dancing with English Beat and General Public. One was a little bit Rock’n’Roll, while the other one was a little bit New Wave. Therefore, never should the two not meet!
That was then and this is now. Over the weekend, they showed a little Tenderness towards each other as you can see in this photo! Maybe they can make some Mony Mony together and go on tour. I know seeing them on one bill will take me there.
Sadly, Ranking Roger Charlery will not be able to join them. He passed away in March at the age of 56.

An ’80s music fan’s wet dream: Billy Idol and Bryan Adams on tour |

Back in the ’80s, Billy Idol and Bryan Adam were two of the decade’s biggest rockers. The Rebel Yell singer was a harder rocker while the Summer of ’69 one was softer. Which means, they were opposites and they would not have gone on tour together.
That was then and this is now. They are no longer only Dancing with Myself because 35 years later, the two of them are hitting the road in August together with an epic 8-city tour in the North East. Giving fans of the ’80s a wet dream of a double bill.
Hopefully, if it makes a lot of Mony, Mony, they will expand their dates to the rest of the country. So on May 1st, Run to You computer and get your tickets to see them rocking. I bet you it is a night that will leave you in Heaven.
I wonder what song they will sing together on the tour? I am thinking it will be the Canadian’s Diana because it was about Princess Diana and Idol is British.

An ’80s girl wet dream: Billy Idol and Boy George! |

Back in the ’80s, Billy Idol and Boy George caused girls around the world to want a White Wedding with them. Although, one was a little bit punk and the other one was a little bit new wave. Two different types of music that were never meant to go together. Therefore, their fans were left dancing with themselves.
After all of these decades, the Crying Game is over because the two met up after a Culture Club concert. Making it Hot in the City. Maybe now that Time has passed they would consider doing a duet like Rebel Yell Karma Chameleon.
Imagine Boy George’s sweet voice with Idol’s rasp. It would make a lot of Mony Mony! So I say to both singers Do You Really Want to Hurt Me?
