If you\u2019re familiar with Billy Idol<\/a>\u2019s music \u2014 and if you were listening in the 1980s, you surely remember \u201cWhite Wedding<\/a>,\u201d \u201cEyes Without a Face<\/a>,\u201d \u201cDancing With Myself<\/a>\u201d and many others \u2014 then you probably know exactly what to expect from the new song Idol has written for \u201cBilly Idol Should Be Dead<\/a>,\u201d a documentary about his stormy career and life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be aggressive, guitar-driven and full of attitude, just like the snarling, punk-inspired rock songs that made him an MTV<\/a> staple and earned him enough money to almost kill himself with drugs.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

Wrong. \u201cDying to Live,\u201d the song that closes the documentary, is a total rarity in Idol\u2019s catalog.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
