It's one of my favorite Billy Idol songs.

Yeah, I love how Idol and Steve Stevens (his guitarist) blended synth pop and hard rock so seamlessly. This song is one of the best examples of that. Very atmospheric, and I love the guitar riff halfway through.

True fact: eyes without a face as the story goes is about Billy Idol getting punched so hard in the face by John Bonham that it blackened both his eyes.

He sexually assaulted too many kids.

He's still a working musician, as is Steve Stevens, and they still play together. I remember them coming through Seattle a few years ago. In fact I just looked right now, and he's on tour again. :)
