Also featuring Trent Reznor on the piano!
I think my head just exploded.
Uhm, no. That’s Derek on the piano.
Trent is a 50 lbs of pure muscle at the moment. So yeah, that aint TR. Cool video. Billy looks like he is having a blast.
Can we dig up the guy who made the Baby cart assassin movies and hold him hostage until he makes a Jonah Hex movie starring Billy Idol?
How can Billy sneer during “In the Summertime”? That’s almost a fifth horseman of the apocalypse, aint it?
Sorry, I guess I was thinking of the old TR.
The last time I heard this song was as the soundtrack to a summer drink driving campaign in the uk. Any one else thin that the Slash/Blilly Idol version would have been more apt?
Idol looks and sounds terrifyingly ghoulish.
Is it just me or is Billy Idol starting to look like Sting?
Not exactly what I was expecting from Billy Idol and former members of Guns n’ Roses and Dream Theater.
Is it just me or is Billy Idol starting to look like Jamie Madrox – The Multiple Man?
Time was, we’d expect this sort of thing from David Lee Roth. I guess he’s gone too far off the deep end, and good ol’ Billy decided to step in and fill the gap.
I wasn’t sure what to expect since Billy Idol and Slash were doing this tune.
Know what? I loved it.Reminiscent of a bunch of guys on jam night at the bar just having fun.
