W 1979 roku Billy nagrał z myślą o rynku amerykańskim płytę "Children Of The Sun", na której zawarł materiał będący połączeniem metalu i techno. Współpracował też z Mickiem Fleetwoodem z Fleetwood Mac. Razem nagrali album "Zoo".
Niedługo przed śmiercią Thorpe poinformował na swojej stronie, że
pracuje nad nowym materiałem. Gitarzysta zasłynął również jako gwiazda
telewizji australijskiej. W połowie lat 60. prowadził w niej popularny
program "It's All Happening". Co ciekawe, wraz z kolegą z The Aztecs,
Tonym Barberem, stworzył firmę produkującą zabawki dla dzieci. Zamawiały
je największe firmy, z Disney, Hasboro i Universal na czele.
