I love this song but for the life of me I can’t figure out why the Generation X version never became a hit. Maybe I’m listening through my generations filter, but the little harder and guitar heavy version of Generation X is better. When you get down to it there really isn’t much difference between the two. But, apparently enough for that time.

Gen X never got the publicity or label support solo Billy did.

Same here. I wore out that Vital Idol EP, which also had the mythical White Wedding Part 2 on it.

Ever heard Idol’s version of L.A. Woman? It’s pretty damn good. IMO, his best songs other that DWM were Catch My Fall and Rebel Yell.
