While riding in the car, when ever this tune comes thru on my local FM station, I ALWAYS crank it up... hopefully my wife isn't riding with me so it stays up until the end... :dunno:

I LOVE White Wedding...

Love the tune, but alas, I never bought any of his CDs because I'd never heard anything else from him...

Wonders if my local Used CD store would have it...

:dunno:

I'll look... cuz I'd love to have it at my pawtips...

Favourite Billy Idol song was Dancing with Myself which he did with Generation X. Think he rereleased it when he became a solo artist. White Wedding has to have one of the best bass lines in rock in roll history IMO...

I dont think that he did it with GenX. At least I dont ever remember it on any GenX tapes. :dunno:

Idol was the punk era’s answer to Elvis. In fact, his early punk band,
Generation X, paid a snarling homage to the swivel-hipped Memphis boy in
their anthem, “King Rocker.” In fact, one of Idol’s biggest hits,
“Dancing With Myself,” was originally a Gen-X song glorifying the
slam-dance/pogo scene of the late ‘70s punk clubs.

Eyes Without a Face and Dancing With Myself are two really awesome songs. I've never been big into his songs, otherwise.

However, a great Generation X song is "Kiss Me Deadly".

Kiss Me Deadly was GenX?? I thought it was Lita Ford. Great song, though.

Yep, completely different songs, one's not a cover of the other. I like the GenX one, myself.
