I'm only typing up the mentionings of Billy Idol. The rest of the article is about M-One
"I'M BILLY fucking Idol, and I feel all right!"
Yes, Billy Idol is back, and between multiple costume changes and guitar solos, he's giving fans at the first M-One concert in Brisbane exactly what they want.
"Hope you like how I treated that guy on The Panel," he quips before launching into another of his 1980s smashes.
And while his filthy mouth often leads him into embarrassing territory, the old style rock pomp of White Wedding and To Be A Lover are fun reminders they they just don't make rock stars like this anymore.
Idol has the most stage time at M-One, clocking in at one hour. By contrast, young Canadian pop-punks Simple Plan flew in for just 20 personality-filled minutes on the main stage.
