Yeah this honestly ain't bad, i'll take this over at least 10-15 songs currently charting on either chart.

Pretty good - and would actually fit very well on current-day Alternative radio.

Just heard it on 91x Alt Rock Station in San Diego and it sounds great over the airwaves!

as Rolling Stone magazine said: a punky pop tune with a "bang bang bang" chorus catchier than anything Fall Out Boy have written lately.

Very well-produced. This could be a comeback hit for him.

Interesting format for this to debut on.

I didn't even know it was sent to triple A. I know it was sent to Alt first where its actually making a splash. 91 x plays it often as new music spotlight.

AAA seems like the most natural fit for this song, as that's generally the format where heritage artists who aren't as hard-rocking as AC/DC or Alice in Chains end up. This might not be hard enough for Active, and while this does have an Alternative-friendly sound as I said before, the format may be hesitant to take a chance on an 80's artist who hasn't had a hit in a long time. That said, I'd be glad to see this succeed on any of the rock formats.

I figured I'd check this out for the hell of this thread being here and to my surprise, this is actually pretty damn good.

This is definitely the best "Aging rockstar still releasing new music" song I've heard maybe ever. This is so dang catchy that I actually think it deserves a top 10 spot on Alt. I know it won't happen, but this is a quality song.

To my surprise my alt station has picked up on this and I must say, it isn't bad at all. Catchy tune - didn't recognize it as a Billy Idol song when it first came on. Not really expecting it to make much of a splash outside of Triple A but since it's got that format going for it I'll be rooting for it there.

I echo your sentiments, surprised to see it doing this well and don't mind it having a decent run on AAA. Love your avatar, btw. |

I'm pretty sure that if we still had access to view the entire mediabase top 200 alt rock chart or whatever, this would be at least in the top 100. A little Billy idol in Alt Rock Top 40 wouldn't hurt.

I remember when KLOS and KMET. Huge 80s Rock Formet Stations, played White Wedding and Rebell Yell. Then in 90s. Pirate radio; A station born for the Hair and Glam metal era, picked up Cradel of Love, so I'm not surprised Active is picking it up. The question is? Why it take them so long?
