Album Review
Billy Idol was still a rock & roll bad boy despite being over the hill by the start of the new millennium. Billy Idol: VH1 Storytellers captures that typical snarl without the bombast and returns to basics. The real rawness behind such classics as "Flesh for Fantasy," "Cradle of Love," and "To Be a Lover" is stripped, and the acoustic mix found on this album showcases Idol's appeal on a different level. The sexiness is still there, and Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens compose a magic as well. Fans should be pleased, for the tantalizing swagger of "Rebel Yell" is ageless. Renditions of Generation X's "Kiss Me Deadly" and "Dancing With Myself" are just as exciting, however it's the intensity of the punk anthem "Ready Steady Go" that brings everything together. While Billy Idol was issuing smash singles during a decade criticized for being unoriginal, Billy Idol: VH1 Storytellers suggests otherwise.
Customer Reviews
Wow! Added depth to already great music.
I first heard this album car camping and was immediately hooked. Not only are some of the tunes "better" or at least "different" enough to be new material, it's almost like some of them grew up and are just flat-out more interesting.
The energy is GREAT and you can't help being both happy and amped listening to this!
Live & Excellent!
Idol delivers the hits with a refreshing twist to most. Idol is vocally great! And of course, it wouldn't be complete w/out Steve Stevens on the axe.
