Billy Idol

There was so much great gear and, you know, it's the house that Jimi Hendrix built.

So as a guitar player, I think that was, that was also, we were embracing Lynn drums and all of the other elements of that.

So, yeah.

Yeah.

And it did.

And I think also, you know, because we both love the Beatles and the Beatles records, each song was a little bit different.

So we weren't afraid to put Eyes Without a Face next to Blue Highway or, you know,

because the record should it should be a a travel you know so so i think we we were cool with having different feels for each song was its own adventure kind of yeah you know we're growing up with eclectic records yeah yeah whether it was yes maybe it's steve's you know or i don't know the underground or whatever whatever it was yeah we've both grown up with really eclectic records yeah

I think, yeah, I think regardless of all of that, there was a sense of the work ethic, you know, being in the studio.

Yeah, there was drugs and all that, but...

But it was still motivated by the music.

I think the drugs sort of worked.

to an extent during Rebel Yell because we'd work all week and then we'd have a bit of a party on a Friday and everybody would come in and we'd play this thing because you're kind of insular.

So you want to get feedback and you keep that excitement going.

So that party thing was great.

And then you'd come back in on Monday and go, ah, it was great, you know.

And you'd learn things about playing it for an audience of people.

But then it kind of, when it came for the next record, it kind of, it was more insular, I felt.

Yeah, we were kind of cut off from that.

And we didn't, and it was really down to, we were working with a lot of machines.
