Billy Idol may be an '80s punk rock legend, but the spiked, platinum blond lad is sick of "Dancing With [Himself]." That's why he's bringing his 34-year rock 'n' roll companion, Steve Stevens to the Hard Rock Live this week. In an interview with New Times last week, Stevens said, "to be doing this with the same guy for 34 years is absolutely unheard of in my business, so we’re just really lucky that we’ve kept our working relationship intact, and that there’s still a fan base."

We rarely get to bust out the sweaters in Miami, but this week, California's the Neighbourhood — the band that brought you the insanely catchy "Sweater Weather" — is bringing the sound of Fall to the Fillmore Miami Beach. We'll bring the long sleeves — let's just hope the guys take our 90-degree September temperatures with them.

Sing the "Whorehouse Blues" with Motörhead up in Pompano Beach before the self-proclaimed "Loudest Band in the World" sets sail on what's bound to be "the Loudest Ship at Sea" — the five-day Motörboat Cruise — aboard the Norwegian Sky with Anthrax, Crobot, and some the hardest rockers around. Motörhead lead singer Lemmy Kilmister has experienced health issues lately, but appears to be doing better. Let's pray to the metal gods that the show goes smoothly.
