I like to drink with a meal at a restaurant, yвЂ™know? But nothing else.вЂќ (30 OC. I donвЂ™t do coke or heroin or anything like that. but weвЂ™re not going to.вЂ™ I like smoking pot. So, I have to sort of say, вЂNo, man, you can do (laughs) whatever you wantвЂ™ - but thereвЂ™s a side of me saying, вЂ. I have to sort of say to myself, вЂYeah, you can do everything, man, but IвЂ™m not doing it.вЂ™ If I say to myself, вЂIвЂ™m never doing anything ever againвЂ™ - IвЂ™ll immediately go and do it. The motorcycle accident was a big watershed moment because I really did sort of address my demons, and I gradually got control of myself to where I can still be here today performing, enjoying it, recording, writing songs and enjoying it.Д«illy Idol he admitted to us that although not exactly clean and sober, heвЂ™s left his self-destructive habits far in the past: вЂњIвЂ™m not sober, I mean, I donвЂ™t. The AA people will tell you there isnвЂ™t, really. You were getting some semblance of control, because there is no control. As MTV got bigger and bigger it was like the whole of the world could recognize you, just from your voice or your hair or something.вЂќД«illy Idol said that today, he marks the accident as a вЂњbefore and afterвЂќ situation in his life: вЂњIt took me 10 years or more of AA and a number of different things, to eventually put drugs on the back burner, where they werenвЂ™t central. It was difficult going out because it wasnвЂ™t just music people who knew about you. He went on to describe the non-stop absurdity of his вЂ™80s fame: вЂњBeing a television star was nutty, it was crazy. As a musician, it was like a little under the radar.вЂќ Just because you walked outside your door, and IвЂ™d never really thought about it. ItвЂ™s not New YorkвЂ™s fault, it was really to do with me becoming so well-known on MTV and stuff. Idol shed light on his life in the late-вЂ™80s when he moved from New York City to L.A.: вЂњYeah, IвЂ™d actually come out to Los Angeles from New York where IвЂ™ve been living a bit of a vampire existence. And yeah, it came out really great, thatвЂ™s the thing about вЂBitter Taste,вЂ™ it really came out great. He went on to explain, вЂњIвЂ™ve had 30 years to reflect on it and really sort of come to terms with it and be able to talk about in a song really. So the motorcycle accident was something I could write about that was a big crisis in my life, that was a bit of a watershed moment.вЂќ I always said itвЂ™d be great when itвЂ™s 20 years or 30 years away from the motorcycle accident, just because itвЂ™s so far in the back mirror and then I did manage to recover okay. While chatting with Forbes, Idol spoke about recalling the accident that almost cost the rocker his leg: вЂњThat was a big moment in my life, like a crisis moment, a problem time, something where I had to readjust my whole life in a way, once it happened. Billy Idol drew upon his near career-ending 1990 motorcycle accident for his new track, вЂњBitter Taste.вЂќ Idol has just released a new EP, titled, The Roadside, via George HarrisonвЂ™s resurrected Dark Horse Records imprint.
