Episode description

In the 1980’s two monumental forces in music were about to collide. They were Music Television or MTV and William Broad, also known as Billy Idol.

Rebel Yell originally dropped in November of 1983. It has sold over 2 million copies and featured hit singles like “Eyes Without a Face,” “Flesh for Fantasy, “Rebel Yell,” and “Catch My Fall.” To celebrate the album’s 40th anniversary, Billy & Ume are releasing “Rebel Yell” in a deluxe edition with a whole disc of previously unreleased songs and demos. You can get it as 2 albums, 2 CDs and via all digital formats.

Today, you’ll hear Billy & guitarist Steve Stevens take you back to the writing and recording of this landmark album as well as sharing some stories about their personal lives. We’ll also find out what’s next for this pair of musical buds. This show is being hosting by Dan Neer.
