He was in other bands before he went solo in 1979.
His first performance was at the Psychedelic Supermarket, a nightclub where he met Eric Clapton(and the band Cream).
2. “The Stroke” was inspired by the music industry, Squier’s experiences with labels, executives, and the overall machine that so readily uses, manipulates, and exploits artists.
With his fourth album, Billy needed a video for his song, Rock Me Tonite, off his 1984 album, Signs of Life. Squier’s girlfriend disagreed and said that the video would ruin him. He Formed His First Band At 14
He formed his first band the Reltneys in his formative years which did not last long. Squier advises that if you want to be in this business, you’ve got to learn how to play its dirty game, one that involves letting the industry “stroke” you, or rather turn you into one of their toys.
As with most musicians of the early 1980’s, Billy Squier had to transition his songs to this new thing called MTV music videos. I mean, I had nothing against gays. He Has Not Being Inducted Into The Hall Of Fame
He made a lot of waves in the first half of the 1980s with hit songs and an RIAA gold-certified album-Don’t Say No(1981).
At a young age, his grandfather taught him how to play piano but he was not serious about music till he discovered John Mayall and the Bluesbreaker. The album went Platinum two months later. The pulsating beat, shrieking vocals, and insistent chants of stroke, stroke, stroke… give life to a hot-blooded song that sounds far too risqué for its actual PG meaning.
The video shows Squier waking up in a bed with Satin pastel-colored sheets.
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.

It’s a fact that Squier’s career took a downturn after the video and it was no coincidence.
Why is the video bad? I have a lot of gay friends. Who knows what the coming years will yield, he may just be inducted.
8. “I take songwriting very seriously and I wouldn’t want anything I do to be construed as frivolous or mundane,” the rocker once explained to the Baltimore Sun. With lines like Put your right hand out / Give a firm handshake, First, you try to bed me / You make my backbone slide, and the chorus’ incessant Stroke me, stroke me, plenty of listeners over the years have gotten hip to a meaning very different from the song’s actual moral.
“Plenty of people saw sexual connotations in [‘The Stroke’] but to me, it was about what goes on in the business world,” Squier added, saying it doesn’t bother him too much.
The video was so bad that Squier and his manager wanted the video cancelled before it aired. He became a household name in the 1980s with songs such as The Stroke, Lonely is The Night,The Big Beat among others. I was a good-looking, sexy guy. He then dances around the bed as he gets dressed, ultimately putting on a pink tank top over a white shirt.
Now everybody, the song begins with a cry, Have you heard / If you’re in the game / Then the stroke’s the word. It was met with minimal success.
