The Very Best of Billy Idol: Idolize Yourself (CD/DVD) [DELUXE EDITION] Review

Though Billy is apparently struggling to strip himself of the conviction that we need to hear yet another reissued version of "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding" all over again on this second greatest hits package in 7 years, the new singles it includes are better by leaps and bounds than that lame cover of "Don’t You Forget About Me" he slapped onto the last hits CD in 2001.
Idol’s got a penchant for really terrible covers-if you’ve somehow managed to survive Charmed Life’s "LA Woman" in its entirety without slammin gthe "Stop" button, you already know this. If not, well, I don’t blame you. So it is of considerable relief that he stuck to his own guns this time around with a strong new track called "John Wayne," an eerily Cure-ish and radio-ready rock ballad that summons the ghosts of "Eyes Without A Face" and "Blue Highway."
Age isn’t something that was supposed to happen to Billy Idol; but that the man is making music as strong as "John Wayne" and 2005’s Devil’s Playground as he prepares to turn 53 years-old suggests that we may have failed to see past the glitter back in the day to catch a glimpse of the grit. Check him out on tour this summer and come to your own conclusions.
