Steve Stevens - Atomic Playboys (Japan, 1989)

I was talking to someone I used to work with not so long ago and they said they d been to see Billy Idol,oh and the guitarist hadn t been half bad either.Now this person was not a massive guitar freak like myself so they d never heard of Sir Steve.I must admit I myself originally bought this out of curiosity just to see what the boy could do when he was n t playing with Billy.I must admit to being very pleasantly surprised.I know the vocals on this are n t going to be to everyones tastes and the lyrics are just a wee bit silly in places but this still rocks.Standout tracks for me are Atomic Playboys,Power Of Suggestion and the cover version of Action (which in my opinion is better than the original and 10 times better than the limp wristed Def Leppard version).Buy this and play it very loudly,highly recommended!!
