A Rolling Stone Top 10 Best Music Books of the Year
"That’s what I’m talking about…Of all these memoirs, Dancing With Myself was the only one that stimulated my envy—made me want to be Billy Idol for five minutes….He’s a genuine romantic, writing in a kind of overheated journalese about his London punk rock roots…and then falling head over heels for America." —James Parker, The New York Times Book Review
In this highly original memoir—following Billy Idol from his childhood in England to his rise to fame at the height of the punk-pop revolution—the iconic superstar tells the real story behind the sex, drugs, and rock ''n'' roll that he is so fabulously famous for, in his own utterly indelible voice.
An early architect of punk rock’s sound, style, and fury, whose lip-curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into pop’s mainstream as one of MTV’s first megastars, Billy Idol remains, to this day, a true rock ‘n’ roll icon.
Now, in his New York Times bestselling autobiography, Dancing with Myself, Idol delivers an electric, "refreshingly honest" (Daily News, New York) account of his journey to fame—from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to the decadent life atop the dance-rock kingdom he ruled—delivered with the same in-your-face attitude and fire his fans have embraced for decades. Beyond adding his uniquely qualified perspective to the story of the evolution of rock, Idol is a brash, lively chronicler of his own career.
A survivor’s tale at its heart, this sometimes chilling and always riveting account of one man’s creative drive joining forces with unbridled human desire is unmistakably literary in its character and brave in its sheer willingness to tell. With it, Billy Idol is destined to emerge as one of the great writers among his musical peers.
"I am hopelessly divided between the dark and the good, the rebel and the saint, the sex maniac and the monk, the poet and the priest, the demagogue and the populist. Pen to paper, I’ve put it all down, every bit from the heart. I’m going on out a limb here, so watch my back." —Billy Idol

SOBRE O AUTOR
Billy Idol
Billy Idol é uma das figuras mais emblemáticas do rock e do punk britânico, conhecido pela sua energia explosiva, estilo provocador e presença de palco cativante. Nascido a 30 de novembro de 1955, em Londres, Billy Idol ganhou destaque inicialmente como membro da banda Generation X, uma das primeiras bandas de punk britânico, antes de seguir uma carreira a solo de enorme sucesso nos anos 80. Combinando elementos de punk, rock e pop, Billy Idol tornou-se um ícone da música, sendo uma das figuras centrais na popularização do rock moderno e da música pós-punk.
O seu álbum de estreia a solo, Billy Idol (1982), foi um grande sucesso, com o single "White Wedding" a tornar-se um clássico instantâneo. A sua mistura de riffs de guitarra punk com a produção mais polida do rock mainstream fez dele uma das principais figuras da cena musical da década de 80. O seu estilo visual, caracterizado pelo cabelo platinado e atitude provocadora, também ajudou a cimentar a sua imagem como um verdadeiro ícone pop e do rock, apelando a um público jovem e rebelde.
Em 1983, Billy Idol lançou o seu segundo álbum, Rebel Yell, que foi ainda mais bem-sucedido e solidificou o seu lugar no panteão das superestrelas do rock. A faixa-título "Rebel Yell", juntamente com outros hits como "Eyes Without a Face" e "Flesh for Fantasy", mostrou uma evolução na sua sonoridade, incorporando elementos de rock clássico, new wave e até dance music. A sua habilidade em criar melodias cativantes, juntamente com a sua energia crua, fez de Billy Idol um dos maiores nomes da música da década de 80.
Nos anos seguintes, Billy Idol continuou a lançar álbuns de sucesso, como Whiplash Smile (1986) e Charmed Life (1990), mantendo-se relevante na cena musical. Embora tenha passado por algumas pausas e mudanças na sua carreira ao longo dos anos 90 e 2000, Billy Idol manteve uma base de fãs fiel e continuou a realizar tournées bem-sucedidas.
Com mais de quatro décadas de carreira, Billy Idol continua a ser uma das figuras mais importantes do rock, conhecido pela sua habilidade em mesclar a energia do punk com melodias pop, e pela sua atitude rebelde e carismática. Seu legado como um dos maiores ícones do rock dos anos 80 permanece forte, e ele continua a influenciar músicos e fãs com a sua música e imagem.
