The Metal Files

I’m not a huge Billy Idol fan and I don’t think I’ve ever owned any of his albums, but I liked most of the radio hits and what little bit of Generation X stuff I’ve heard over the years.  I do like Steve Stevens quite a bit though.  His Atomic Playboys album was really good as well as the first Bozzio, Levin, Stevens album.

The setlist was pretty much as expected mixing up the hits, a few Gen X songs and some new stuff.  Stevens rocked it.  Idol’s voice seemed out of key through much of the set and in some spots it sounded perfect.  Too perfect really.  I’m pretty sure that some of his vocals were pre-recorded.  I’m not the only one who noticed it as others around me were making the same comment.

That being said, I had a good time and he did play Blue Highway, which is one of my faves.
