"Rebel Yell" is a song by English rock musician Billy Idol. The title track of his 1983 album of the same name, it was first released as the album's lead single on 24 October 1983. It charted outside the UK Top 40, but a re-issue of the single in 1985 reached No. 6. In the US, it peaked at No. 46. The song was named the 79th best hard rock song of all time by VH1 based on a public voting in 2009,[1] although the song did not show up in a revised list from 2013.[2]

Composition and lyrics

At a televised performance of VH1 Storytellers, Idol said that he had attended an event where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones were taking swigs from a bottle of "Rebel Yell" bourbon whiskey. He was not familiar with the brand, but he liked the name and decided to write a "Rebel Yell" song.[3]

The song was co-written by guitarist Steve Stevens. The instrumental introduction, which sounds like a combination of electric guitar and electronic keyboard, is performed by Stevens on guitar alone, who intended it to sound this way. Stevens states that he was inspired by acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke's style.[4]

Acoustic Version

In 1994 Idol released the single "Speed", a song from the box office hit movie of the same name, with a live acoustic version of "Rebel Yell" accompanying the lead song on the UK CD single release. This version not only showcases Idol's strong live voice, but Stevens frenetic and intricate guitar playing, thus demonstrating his inspiration and admiration of the aforementioned guitarist Leo Kottke.

In popular culture

  • On the children's show Sesame Street in 1984, the song was also spoofed as "Rebel L", sung by Billy Idle, a parody Muppet of Billy Idol, performed by Kevin Clash. The rebellious letter L, voiced by Christopher Cerf, makes a loud "luh-luh-luh" and protests outside of Billy Idle's house at night, until he is arrested by a policewoman, voiced by Ivy Austin.[7][8]
  • The song appears in the 1985 movie The Legend of Billie Jean.
  • The song was included in the video games Guitar Hero World Tour, WWE 2K16[9] and as a downloadable track for the Rock Band series.
  • The song appears in the documentary Warren Miller's Impact.
  • The song appears in The Phantom Pain as an in-game cassette tape.
  • Part of the song was used in a mid-2000s Blockbuster Video Australian radio commercial. The line "more, more, more" appeared in the ad, with the voiceover boasting about Blockbuster having more copies of new release movies than the competition.
  • Rock band Black Veil Brides covered the song as part of their Rebels EP.

Live versions

Billy performed the track with Miley Cyrus at the 2016 iHeart Festival.
