Billy Idol gives props to Prince on DVD

I was watching te VH1 Storytellers DVD for Billy Idol and Billy goes into a story about Prince before singing Flesh for Fantasy. He was talking about trying to make punk rock sexy and said he noticed what Prince was doing. He said that he thought Prince was the future and actually copied the leg warmers and bikini briefs look while appearing on the BBC. He said that they banned him! I thought it was coool to hear a 80s icon like Billy Idol salute Prince and his influence.

That is pretty cool!! I like Billy, but I saw him at Foxwoods Casino last year and he sucked. Most of it was acoustic and he tripped and fell on stage. Ah well.

Billy Idol has been around for almost 20 years and is one of the people that helped put punk on the map. Respect is due. He is better than the young post punk rip off rap/punk/metal bullshit that permeates the airwaves today.

Idol is true rock n roll

Prince has tripped and fallen and no one is more nimble than him onstage. WHat is your point? Idol can still sing and he still commands an audience as the DVD release indicates. Maybe its you, fat chick

Boy you're name stands true, you are one mother fucker. Try not to be an asshole all the time, you may find it rewarding.

I like Billy, I stated that in my post. I didn't like this one particular show. Get over it fuckwad.

And you can kiss my "fat" ass shit brain.

Black MF....if you can't take a little criticism of your goddamn musical idol (no pun intended), then you need to grow the fuck up or shut the fuck up.

And CarrieCee is one fine ass woman, so I don't know what the fuck you're sayin, bitch.....

KS and Shorty beat me to it, I see...lol...but where the FUCK does either the defensive response or the "fat chick" shit come from, BlackMF??...Obviously CarrieCee likes Billy Idol if she went to SEE his punk-ass in concert last year...I mean, it's not like she went to see him cuz he's the "hot thing" at the moment....so stop fucking your mother and think before you type....






(note to fellow .Orgers: "punk-ass" was meant as a play on words, and not as an insult to Mr. Idol...heh heh)
