Billie Joe Armstrong<\/a>, and Guns N\u2019 Roses\u2019 Duff McKagan, who discuss Idol\u2019s impact and influence. \u201cI watch Billy Idol footage like it\u2019s porn,\u201d Cyrus says. \u201cThere\u2019s no one hotter than Billy-fucking-Idol.\u201d <\/p>\n\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n
\n\tThe trailer opens with footage of an interview with a young Idol, where the journalist asks Idol what he\u2019d do with the money if he became a rock star. \u201cI\u2019d spend it on drugs,\u201d he tells him. The rest of the clip is spent exploring his career \u2014 from his MTV superstardom to his motorcycle accident in 1990 \u2014 and how he\u2019s lived nine lives. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to say it\u2019s the drugs,\u201d he says in the clip, across animation. \u201cBut what about if it\u2019s me? What about if it\u2019s me doing this?\u201d <\/p>\n
