Stop the obituary column! If nothing else, Greatest Hits proves that Billy Idol lives. And no one seems more surprised—and naturally relieved—about that than the platinum-plumed, former Generation X man himself. Save a couple of cameo film appearances and rent-a-celebrity guest slots with the likes of the Who and Black Sabbath's Tommy Iommi, the last few years have been a downhill, demon-grappling descent into ill-health and white powder abuse for the motorbike-crashing, curly-lipped "Punk Elvis". And it's been that way since 1993's rotten, futuristic concept-album flop Cyberpunk. Greatest Hits not only features Idol's first new material in years (a cover of a song associated with Simple Minds, replacing the originally intended "Bitter Pill") but also reminds us that in the 1980s, Billy Idol—and his never-mentioned-enough over-haired guitar-slinger Steve Stevens—had the populist touch with their America-friendly, melodious alloy of metal and polished-up punk. "White Wedding" is now ceremonially ubiquitous, while "Rebel Yell" remains a staple of energetic rock anthems. An acoustic version of "Rebel Yell" from LA's KROQ radio in Christmas 1993 is also included. This is the most comprehensive Billy Idol compilation available.
