Billy Idol what an amazing talent and voice.
I used to love Generation X, but when Billy decided to up root to the States i went off him, but fair play he carved out a huge successful career, recently I have seen some of his latest songs on the new EP and I really like it, earlier on I found a Mini concert on line from a few weeks ago? With him and his long term guitar player, OK Billy is now 65 and I was blown away how good his voice is still, just Fucking amazing, and his guitar player just mind blowing how good he is, so it looks like I'm going to be checking out his back catalogue, he comes across as a nice chap to.

Re: Billy Idol what an amazing talent and voice.
Yeah I agree. I was never a huge fan of Generation X though I bought a couple of singles. However not long after he went solo he was releasing some great stuff with Steve Stevens. I didn't keep tabs on his later material but everytime I've heard something it's generally been good. There's an unplugged show which is good too. It's probably on youtube. It was a great sound that he formulated... driving rhythms (mainly), exceptional guitar with great playing and tone, tasteful synths and plenty of space.
I always considered Billy Idol as the 'punk' that made it.

Does he still do that thing with his lip?

Re: Billy Idol what an amazing talent and voice.
His latest single is very good. Americana, but still great. One of the few artists that are better doing solo stuff than their original bands.

To be fair, Generation X set a pretty low bar.
