Did somebody say, "New Billy Idol album"? Thanks, God! The quintessential 1980s New Wave glam-rock leather boy is back, for his first album in twelve long years. On Devil's Playground, Idol reunites with guitar foil Steve Stevens and producer Keith Forsey to return to the glory days of "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding." The results are much better than his 1993 sci-fi shark jump, Cyberpunk, and so it automatically counts as the best thing he's done since "Cradle of Love," unless you count his superb cameo in The Wedding Singer. Idol has spent time pondering maturity ("Super Overdrive"), the unstable global situation ("World Comin' Down") and the meaning of life ("Rat Race"). But fortunately he's still Billy Idol, which means his primary concern is debauched sex with underage headbangers ("Scream"). Mo', mo', mo'!

“Youth Knows No Pain”

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
