    Spinsmashpop on PBS with Idol

    Well, it's Saturday night 11pm in Central Texas. Saturday Night Live isn't funny and the History Channel is lost in the 2012 predictions of the Apocalyse, so I go over to channel 4 KXBU (PBS) to check out Austin City Limits. It's going off (Willie Nelson concert), and up comes "Soundstage" with a Billy Idol tour stop, and behold there's our own Spinsmashpop busting the drums. They were ripping through "Dancing with Myself", Just finished "Dancing with Myself" and starting "touch my love". Pretty cool to watch a concert show when your really know one of the musicians. Me and MD just saw him rippin' with Foreigner in Chicago. Gotta get the popcorn out cause "white wedding" just started. Geez, Idol had some great music!

    (click on the "video" list of that soundstage page and a popup window will show some of the show video)

    Hey cool, that's definitely him all right. Would love to see Brian playing with Idol. Maybe they'll go back on the road soon.

    PS Your link was broken, it had an extra "ht" in the "http" so I edited it to fix it.

    Here's a direct link to the video as well:

      Thanks. I edited/fixed the link. BT was definitely working that night. Driving the beat for Idol looks a bit more frantic than Foreigner.

        I'll say it again...Brian is living the dream. I'm hoping to get together again in the future and bag in the speedbag truck, hang out when it's less hectic and yes Alan, share that rack of ribs!

            He twirls, flips and throws during a whole show. Very entertaining to watch. Has a lot of them in his solo's, which is pretty funny when it launches into outer space. I hope shuttle Astronauts are watching for errant sticks.....

            (just kidding. I've only seen three go up that never came down....)

                  Thanks for the kinds words guys. That DVD was from August 2006. Not sure why, but it took a long time for them to release it. I think it was on some cable channel once last year, and I think it'll be in the stores real soon....
                  I haven't watched it in 2 years and never watched the whole thing..

                  And Foreigner has a new DVD that comes with the new CD, "Can't Slow Down" is on VH1 Classic Concerts a lot these past 6 weeks or so. I have heard lots of good things about the sound of that. I have yet to see it either....I've heard I am shown doing a tuck and roll, complaining about no beer backstage in Germany, (haha), and jumping rope....
                  With the new cd, only released though WalMart, you get a whole new CD of music, (I am on most of that), a live DVD (I'm on all that) and a remix CD of all the old Foreigner classics....
                  It's like $12.00 only!
                  BAG ON!
