Where is billy squier now

Squire was on tour at the time and when he saw the video for the first time he was shocked. His label tried to ease his concerns by telling him that the single was already. The tour before, I was selling out arenas faster than Sinatra and as soon as the video came out I was playing to half houses.

Men were supposed to be tough and act a certain way. So what does the director, Ortega, think of the clip?

It has damaged his career and he has no one to blame but himself. Squire himself, also claimed the effeminate nature of the video alienated a lot of his base, which were. Even his peers, including Rudolf Schenker. Let me know in the comments section. Guys, thanks for watching. He was in other bands before he went solo in His first performance was at the Psychedelic Supermarket, a nightclub where he met Eric Clapton and the band Cream. The music video of Rock Me Tonight marked the beginning of a downward spiral in his career.

Generation X mostly thought the video was a raw depiction of his being gay especially in a time when the subject of being gay was considered taboo. Who knows, if this video is to be judged by the Millenials, it may just be another video except for the pink that seems to be much in the video. His debut album tale of tape was a hybrid of pop and rock and marked a cross-over between the two genres of music.

It met with minimal success. Billy Squier has recorded some of the most phenomenal songs that transcended the spirit of the time, these songs contain some of the best drum breaks. His orientation has always being questioned probably due to the depiction of what is seen as being gay in the video of Rock Me Tonight.

From way back, rumors keep being pedaled as to his sexual orientation, however, he is not gay as he has a history of being in relationships with women. In , he tied the knot with Nichole Schoen, a professional footballer from Germany.

They seem to be waxing strong since no rumors have been heard of fractures in their home. The album went Platinum two months later.

Emotions in Motion was another hit album reaching Top 5 spot on the Billboards. I think that 'Tell the Truth' is one of the best rock records ever made by me or anyone -- I really do. Home News. Jeff Giles Published: May 30, Filed Under: Billy Squier. Categories: News.
