“She’s A Beauty” - The Tubes
It’s hit song from their album Outside Inside. It was their biggest commercial success, reaching #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
"Dancing With Myself" was created in 1980 as a track by the punk band Generation X (the original Billy Idol band with Tony James on bass). They recorded the first version with a more raw sound and heavy guitars, released as a single in the UK, where it only reached #62. When Gen X broke up in 1981, Billy re-recorded and remixed the song himself (with production by Keith Forsey) for the EP Don't Stop and then for his debut solo album Billy Idol (1982).
It became the big breakthrough of his solo career in the US (#27 on Billboard's Dance Club Play) and one of the biggest hits of the 80s.

And man… Steve Stevens on guitar is something else. He finds tones, licks, and textures no one else even thinks of.
That’s what separates the true greats. Absolute fire.
