A Rebel with his yell
It only took couple of riffs to
guess which song is about to take part of the show. Strings were just about to
burn and so it was the stage. The heat almost reached the top, hands were right
up in the air and the only thing missing was the blonde rebel take of his
shirt. He made his yell sound even more rebelious. The view was almost the same
as decades before, when the yell first came to sound. Only this time, red
leather vest was missing.
Billy Idol is still blonde, still
knows how to dance with himself, only he`s in late fifties now and yet this
time there were many people dancing along. One of the first crusaders, who
started to form the path of punk in Great Britain, used to be huge rock n` roll
icon back in the 80s and yet he still knows how to do it. After he filled the
place up few years ago, he decided to do it again. Only this time it sounded
more idolized. Why? Well, you might wanna go and ask Steve Stevens. Who? Yeah,
same Stevens, who was probably guilty for Idol`s songs to reach sound we still
got in our ears and yet the same Stevens, who still makes you believe, the guy
was probably born with picker in his hands or at least something like that. The
show was noisy, punk and rocking again.
British Fall Out Boy started to rock
the 25th of June 2014 with some tones from the underground. He
opened the show with few songs from
Kings & Queens of the Underground, which was about to come to
reality later that year. All covered in the black leather, just as rocker like
himself should be, he took over the mic and also the crowd. Hot in the city
could probably now be reffered to Hot in the Tivoli hall. After few big hits,
such as Dancing with myself, White wedding and Mony Mony which left visitors
still some 80`s taste in their mouths, there was time for Billy to show his
guitar skills. With Stevens covering his back in guitar accompainment, he
proved he could still made Sweet 16 sound convincingly emotional. Same as Eyes
without a face, where he put aside his raspy tones and softly but with depth
sang lower tones and then slided to upper ones with lightness and yet
sensibilty. After all, that sounds pretty much like ol` Billy, who`s just a fan
of combining different things to find the right sound. Surprise was also
Stevens. After King of underground`s departure from the stage, Stevens took
care of the crowd and continued with the idolization.
He showed everything he`s got,
playing over his head, behind his back and so fast one could hardly follow.
From slowly wandering through some evergreen guitar riffs, such as Led
Zeppelin`s Stairway to heaven, to going on and on, faster and faster, he
showed, he`s really cruciable part of the rebellious night, which tastes as
some old rock n` roll. When Billy changed and got back on the stage, the party
went on.
It didn`t take long, before the
atmosphere was the same as before. And it got even crazier when the time for
the most famous yell came. Though the first rows under the stage were taken by
fans, who grew with Idol`s music, it didn`t seem as the time passed by at all.
They were pointing their hands up in the air, just as you`d find yourself in
the middle of the Rebel yell video. When Billy took his shirt off and showed he
also got almost no trace on his well-shaped body, they were as one. When Billy
stretched his face muscles and got his vocal screams back, they were jumping
and screaming, trying to reach him on the stage. Well he stepped on the stair
above the floor and started doing well-familiar move with his fist in the
rhytm. Everybody continued.
„Me... I`m a Billy fucking Idol,“
he ishouted after he introduced his band to the visitors. After Billy`s danced
with himself in his autobiography and opened his heart in underground, we could guess, what`s coming next.
Well, he`s sure not finished all the chapters. At least one more is about to
come. That`s how he promised: „See you next year!“
