I met Billy last year (2015) in Austin, I bought the VIP package which included a picture with him and Steve Stevens. When I met him I told him "Billy I know I am a complete stranger to you, but let me tell you, to me you are like my big brother, you have always been around in my life... on a trip to the beach, on party from school, while studying for the finals or making out with my girlfriend, on my pickup, at work or when I've been traveling, your music has always been there in every fun, sad or angry part of my life. I feel like I'm saying 'hi' to a very old friend" He hugged me and thank me and signed his book and I got my photo taken with him. That was an epic moment to be able to thank him for his music and passion.

betochon What a fantastic story! Would love to have been in your shoes.Billy appears to me to be a champion of the people and his deeper personality belies his rock star image.He seems to be a very intelligent and eloquent individual who trail blazed his way through early punk and rock and roll and walked the tight rope of making his music commercially viable but taking it somewhere no one else had the guts to.Rock on Billy🤘🎸

@betochon Can you please share the picture? I would love to see it! And of his book and autograph!

My dad died in 2015, and this album helped me process things this year I am faced with some personal demons and low and behold Billy is releasing new songs that are going to help me get through this. If you read this Billy, just know that back in the 80's I spent my money buying your cassettes now it may be online, but you have made a difference to so many - if you can survive what you have I know I can get through my problems. Thanks for a lifetime of inspirational music.

This man’s literally been an idol of mine since 1985 when I was 10. He effected the shape of my childhood. In fact I can say he had a strong impact on my identity and how Ive come to think of myself even to this day. He illustrated to me at a very young age that I could be different, and I could do it with an attitude. More or less somehow he showed that I could own MY world, if that makes sense.

Billy Idol was my first concert experience at the age of 8 years old. it was at the peak of his career during the White Wedding and Rebel Yell days of the early 80's. He was bigger than life then. For me it was like looking at a real life super hero with a god given voice for rock and roll. He was my hero from then on. He is in my opinion one the greatest voices in rock history. The versatility To sing a song like Sweet Sixteen and also belt out Rebel Yell. He is a little bit of Elvis and James Dean rolled into one.

If iI trust a man and love him AND THAT IS WHAT I BELIEVE I DO, ( AT LEAST UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS CLEARED THOROUGHKY) and if he is the king of the world , he NEVER HAS THE RIGHT FROM NOBODY TO FORCE HIS WILL AGAINST ANOTHER PERSONS , HERE : MY OUTSPOKEN WILL THAT ALL IS OPEN AND I AM OPEN TO FREE EXCHANVE OF OPINIONS, WITH ONE ESSENTIAL EXCEPTION: NO MEDICAL ISSUES / DOCTORS / PSYCHOSHRINKS TO DISCYSS BEHIND MY BACK, OR LET THAT PACK GET INVOLVED IN MY PRIVATE LIFE, NOT WANTED, NOT NEEDED, NOT TRUSTED. ONLY BAD EXPERUENCE, WITH 2 OR 3 EXCEPTIONS. I trusted You to keep my bio secret, between us two. Then I was followed by an impolite spectacled guy without manners on the bike path,he stopping and talking in reproachful aggressive way about his late dog " liver milz" death unasked. Same guy drive the taxi as Fuat Erdogan, trying to obviously provoke me to say sth about immigrants, but I dud nit fall into that trap. GAVE HIM NOT BIG ENOUGH TIPP OBVIOUSLY, MUMBLED STH. NOW THIS Person is/ was aerztl Direktor in Josefshospital and has sth to do eit genetic engineering and research , areas I deeply mistrust in Science and will possibly bring the end of natural evolution on Earth. Ihave got nothing to say or do with these prople playing God, I believed You were once interested in Science/-Fiction and the disastrous possibi.ities of genetic engineering ( pighumanss, monkeyhumans, cloned lambs and Chinese pets And thanks to these companies, the world is still at a standstill Costing livescand billions because some Chinese labs wit international sponsors EXPERIMENTED WITH HIV SPIKE PROTEINS AND SARS VIRUSSES A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH They will build uo internationsl databanks with MY GENOM and my family illegally. I immediately demand to stop this experiment. They misused You for their idle rotten inhuman future plan. Why do You play with them ? My life is destroyed now, My love???? TRUST BROKEN. PHOTOS, HINTS OF YOUR LOVE I BELIEVED IN 1000% SURE, WERE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MAKEBELIEVE ??? I TALKED 6 MONTHS WITH DATA THIEVES FOR BIG MONEY PROBABLY WHO LAUGH THEIR HEADS OFF ABOUT THAT SENTIMENTAL FOOL I AM ??? Z Demand to stop this. E D D EVER

I just found this !!!! this should have been a full length movie on "the making of"

This is actually getting me emotional. Its like being reunited with a long lost friend you grow up with and was with during every significant event of my life. So few things are truly joyful anymore and I am thankful that his music still is as brilliant and important as it ever was..

Billy Idol always was someone with a couple of highlight songs to me, other than that not so interesting. But - I listened to this album on Pandora radio and it is fantastic. Every song is a must hear.. I am really impressed.

Боже, как я обожаю Билли Айдола, за его трудолюбие, делать нашу жизнь лучше, какой шикарный певец!!! Спасибо за долгие годы шикарных песен и великолепных концертов!!! БРАВО!!!!

Hello everyone, i would like to say i might be the newest fan of Billy, it s such a shame a did not listen carefully to his songs before, but recently i ve been in an Europe Tour Trip through 9 countries in 23 days with my english friend and we traveled all this days in a 47yo car MG BGT and the only CD we had with us it was a 20 songs Billy Idol album, the most popular ones. Well now i m back home and i m singning every single day flesh for fantasy, rebel yell and white wedding which are my favourites. I love Billy and i m happy i have finally discovered him, better late then never!!!

My 15 years old son introduced me to this album. Wow. So much depth, each song stays with you for hours and days...! A must album imo

Got introduced to Billy's "WHIPLASH SMILE" for the very first time in school back in 1988. A friend just handed me a cassette and said "This stuff will kill you!". And he was right - loved every bit, every chord of "Dont need a gun", "Flesh for fantasy" and all the rest of them. Billy is always in my heart. Always will :)

"Billy Idol" has been in my life since I was a 12yr old school girl. While every1 else was bopping 2 "Culture Club" or some other flash in the pan group, I was rocking & learning so much about myself Thanx 2 these 2 amazing men. That smile of Billy's just melted my heart. Also, 1 of the best sounding live singers. Rock on Billy Idol!

I own every Billy Idol record even before he was a solo artist. This entire CD is amazing. I love it.

I was lucky enough to shake my Idols hand last week after he played in Kelowna b.c. and it was an experience I'll never forget. I'm only 25 but I grew up listening to whiplash smile and vital idol from my older brother, and it stayed with me all these years. To this day I don't know if it's his, Steve's and the rest of the bands musical talents or just Billy's energy and resilience to be anyone but himself that I admire more. The man is a legend and will always be a source of inspiration for me. Also I very much apreciate his writing in KAQOTU.

LOVE FOREVER BILLY IDOL YOU FILL MY ❤ HEART WITH HAPPINESS..🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸📡🐬🐦⭐😘🐎🌴 XOXO MELINDA
