80s Throwback: Billy Idol – Rebel Yell
“Rebel Yell” by Billy Idol always gets me pumped whenever this song rotates on my Zune’s playlist. I remember first hearing this song when I was a little kid in the mall chase scene in the 80s classic , “The Legend of Billie Jean.”
This video has a lot of energy that you don’t see in music videos today. Plus it has Steve Stevens, one of the guitar greats from an era that sadly no longer exists with today’s music.

The Def Leppard song “Women” is a gem that is often overlooked, but it’s a classic rock song that’s one of the band’s best efforts in my opinion. The guitar riffs, drums, and vocals are amazing. This is a great effort from the band. Check it out.
No commentsClassic Tina Turner Videos
In doing some searching around on YouTube, I found some classic Tina Turner. I’m not a 100% sure, but I think these clips are from the 1988 Live in Rio concert. Just don’t quote me on that. However, if anyone can confirm this clip is from that concert, comment on the blog or shoot me an email (via the Contact DQ link on the blog).
Anyway, Timmy is featured in these clips doing his thing (and doing it well) in the band. Unfortunately, I can’t embed the videos because some people (labels) don’t want you to watch their artist videos anywhere but on their YouTube channel. Therefore, I’m linking up the videos for your viewing pleasure.

In the early days, when I first started getting into rock/metal, I had heard of Bon Jovi but had oddly never been exposed to their music until “I’ll Be There for You” hit MTV. It took a little time for this single to grow on me, but once it did, “I’ll Be There for You” became one of my favorite Bon Jovi singles. Check it out.

The one thing that’s most memorable about Steelheart for me is lead singer, Michael Matijevic’s ability to hit some really high notes. He definitely gave other metal lead singers a run for their money.
“I’ll Never Let You Go” by Steelheart was massive on MTV, receiving a lot of heavy rotation on MTV (when they use to play videos) on their “video block” concept. Check it out.
