Does anyone remember Billy Idol?

Luck or hard work I don't know what one it is. All I know is that a lot of people get the big break and a chance for people to hear there music. I totally respect them as artists for that. That has always been my dream and I still pursue it to this day.

That is cool and wish you well on making your dreams come true, I also have admire the fact that your going after your dream but if 70% of your fans make CDR copies of your albums it is going to be a short lived career.

Metalrob in reality 'Exposed' should have been billed as Steve Stevens Band since Neil or IMO the producer Ron Nevison gave him such free reign it is almost like Vince Neil was a guest on his own solo debut.

Also the kind of guitar sound and solos that Stevens used with Neil would sound out of place and somewhat silly in the context of Billy Idol's style and songs.

Yes also Steve played all guitars and bass. Have you ever listened to Bozzio Levens Stevens? Brilliant band..

Excellent band I have only heard the first album, I believe they put out two correct?

Yes and the second one IMO was much better quality. Amazing how record labels and egos hold back such great musicians. It takes them to go out and form there own projects for them to really let loose.

The music they create isn't exactly aimed at the Hot Topic crowd that radio seems to aim for, I just think it is cool that such diverse group of musicians deceided to work together.

On that subject some of these bands have better hooks then those on the radio.
