Rebel Yell

Billy Idol

A high-octane collision of heavy metal guitar, dance-floor synthesizers, and a signature punk sneer. The definitive soundtrack for neon-lit nocturnal rebellion.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'cool guy' record that actually has a heart and a lot of synthesizers.

Aggressive, neon-soaked confidence tempered by moments of nocturnal vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden transition from the icy, whispered verses to the explosive, guitar-shredding chorus of the title track.
The haunting female backing vocals on track 3 that provide a ghostly counterpoint to the deep, vulnerable baritone.
Steve Stevens' futuristic, laser-like guitar solo on track 5 that sounds more like a synthesizer than a stringed instrument.
