Born in 76, you could argue I am a seventies child, but really I was a child in the eighties. Billy Idol, A-ha… you name it… It is weird for me to see the world coming back to this era, but anyway…
Billy Idol. Well, it was back in 1984/1985. I found this tape with Billy Idol’s videos and I thought, wow… that’s fun! Kind of punk, kind of sexy, rock and -- of course -- a super skilled mad guitarist (little did I know then that the latter would matter to me so much now).
So you can picture it, after watching Idol pointing his upper lip, I probably found a mirror and didn’t sleep until I mastered this skill (see picture above). lol
I watched a VH1 concert recently where B. Idol was telling the stories around the songs, made me appreciate the guy even more.
I just watched another gig done for “Soundstage”, there was this new song…
I picked up my guitar and played on it. Much fun.
