Finally getting around to some Bad Company!! What an awesome title track! What other bangers have they got?! Let us know down below! Cheers friends!! 🤟🏻🔥
"Electricland" is probably my favourite from them, but man do they ever have a lot of great ones. "Holy Water", "Rock'n'Roll Fantasy", and "Rock Steady" are three more I'd add to the list in terms of really hard hitting "iconic" BC songs to check out. Edited to add: and one shouldn't IMO talk about big hits from Paul Rodgers without bringing up "All Right Now", which is obviously by Free and not Bad Company, but man Free is also up there as one of the biggest "super groups" of all time and also fronted by Rodgers. And just an absolute banger. That little mini solo leading into the main solo, right back into the chorus with even more emotion ... shivers every time.
He was a huge fan of Free as well. Check out Free’s song Woman and Skynyrd’s song Cheatin’ Woman. Very similar vibe other than opposite ends of the love scale.
It’s been said that there was one song on every album that Ronnie would purposely try to sound like Paul because he was his favorite vocalist. And as previously mentioned, Gary Rossington’s favorite guitarist was Kossoff.
I love this song because, as you pointed out, Paul’s vocals during the verses are calm, but when the chorus starts he gets more passionate. And I love the prominent entry of the drums and guitar at the beginning of each chorus. The combination always gives me such a rush. As far as the album goes, there’s not a bad track on it. Just a great piece of work.
When my son was in his late teens, he played me a song by Five Finger Death Punch... and after me singing the whole song, he just looked at me and asked how I knew this song. I said... Baby, that's Bad Company by Bad Company, my all time favorite band!!🤣💜
So, essentially, your son was very much surprised to to learn that FFDP's version was a cover?? That's kinda like how a bunch of my friends were shocked to find a that Marilyn Manson wasn't the original artist who recorded the song "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of These)"
In the early 90's my youngest step daughter heard this great "new" song. "Just released, the baddest thing ever." She. Carried on about it and when she quoted some of the lyrics, I fell out laughing. She got offended and threw a fit, until my wife and I dug out the album. Played the song and showed her the copyright. AC/DC " Back in Black" Priceless.
@@karlsmith2570 my wife is 12 years younger than I am. We were listening to my music on a roadtrip one time when Bob Seger's Turn the Page comes up on my playlist. She asks, "Who wussed up the Metallica song?"
@@craenor 🤦🤦🤦 If my significant other had said that, that'd be when I'd tell her that Metallica's version was a cover and Bob Segar's version was the original
Give these others a listen Feel like Makin Love Can't Get Enough of your Love Shooting Star Sky is Burnin Rock Steady Ready for Love Silver Blue and Gold Rock and roll Fantasy
Another great band though short lived with Paul Rogers was The Firm, featuring Jimmy page of Led Zeppelin, Chris Slade (drummer) from Uriah Heep. Their songs Satisfaction Guaranteed and Radioactive are must listen to songs
I partied with The Firm! We were at the Hyatt in Indianapolis. Jimmy Page sat at the bar and Chris Slade loved to dance! We had the DJ play Monkee songs all night. LOL
I was lucky enough to see the Firm but Jason Bohnam was the drummer when I saw them. Page did all his Zeppelin riffs and even got the bow out! It was freaking awesome!
Paul Rodgers is one of those singers other rockers love. He’s been the lead singer for so many bands - Free, Bad Company, The Firm, even Queen recently. Other bangers are Feel Like Making Love, Good Lovin’ Gone Bad, and Shooting Star.
The fascination with outlaws is never-ending. I love this band! Song suggestions: "Can't Get Enough," "Ready for Love," "Good Lovin' Gone Bad," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Shooting Star," "Silver, Blue and Gold." I'll stop there. lol Well done, guys!
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and Paul my favorite "Rock Voice" - I never saw either band in concert but I did see The Firm at the Fabulous Forum and Jimmy played a solo with the violin bow in a triangle of laser lights and fog...pretty special moment for me! Midnight Moonlight Lady is my favorite The Firm song. Peace
The most overrated band maybe ever. Never lived up to the potential of the members. This song was probably the best they ever did, even the hits were lackluster.
@@jksgameshelf3378 For me what is really lackluster is so many familiar with all these 70's Blues influenced bands, but don't give the actual black blues musicians the time of day(of whom without the music wouldn't exist). Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker etc etc. Not too mention the Funk Sly & Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, Parliment Funkadelic etc
@@jksgameshelf3378 - "overrated??" In what way?? Bad Company is very popular in their native UK, and most of Europe! Even in the states, they draw good crowds!! I've seen Bad Co. over a dozen times, but I feel they're UNDERRATED!! Paul Rodgers rules!
@@jgsrhythm100 I think it was Muddy Waters who said that some of the white British bands gave verbal credit to the original blues bands that inspired them, but that Bonnie Raitt (white, female, so of course much less famous blues slide guitar player and singer) did that but also helped elderly black blues players, who often directly taught her, get royalties they were owed and even better, in his opinion, gave them a job. I'm old, white, female, southern, but I saw Muddy Waters, Preservation Jazz, Sly, and knew B. Mims who was briefly in Parliament F. but I think everybody my age and older at least Knew of James Brown and Arethea Franklin and of course Chuck Berry and Little Richard, and more--and they knew The Beatles etc. didn't invent rock and roll, not if they ever spent 5 minutes listening to Little Richard!
Ready For Love, Rock Steady. Drummer Simon Kirk is also from Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell from King Crimson. Each member was great in their own right.
Absolutely, “Feel Like Making Love”, is the one to do next. Geez, I feel old.....This was one of my favorite bands.....Blaring it out on my new 8-track tape player while driving to high school!
For those of us who were blessed enough to have lived this era it is wonderful to relive it while enjoying the reactions of those who missed out but have made the conscious decision to glance backwards. A idea that will pay off in a tremendous way if you stick with it and choose wisely from the rabbit holes you're being led down. Such a tsunami of obvious incredible talent and expression might never come around again. A bold statement on my part but I make it because of what I consider to be largely garbage put forth as talent in the years since. Often, the only talent shown is the talent to steal called sampling from earlier gold.
Exactly, to have lived through an era when you had The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkle, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Band, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Jefferson Airplane, CSN&Y, Brian Wilson/Beach Boys, Little Feat and on and on and on making/pushing/creating music that was just THE NORMAL was an incredible time.
I just realized how many songs and lyrics are stored in this 65 year old brain...best years musically - '64 onwards. Still love music and appreciate talent. And don't even get me started on all of the great concerts I've seen.
"Feel Like Makin' Love," "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love". Paul Rogers amazing. That's a fantastic album, and they have lots of great songs. Bad Company Rocks. Paul Rogers also did a few concerts with Queen after Freddie Mercury passed. Paul Rogers also had a band with Jimmy Page, The Firm. I was going to see them in concert at Madison Square Garden and went to a restaurant near The Garden to eat before the show. There was a jukebox in the restaurant, I went to play a song, saw a Bad Company tune, picked the song, and a guy next to me asked what I was chosing, I said, "Bad Company because I'm going to see Paul Rogers play at the Garden tonight". The guy starts laughing, puts his hand out to shake. It was Paul Rogers. He was in there having dinner. It was a crazy moment, but he talked to my friends and I for a few minutes and then left to go do the show. And it was a great one. One day check out The Firm, "Radioactive".
A great introductory song to Bad Company! Other great songs; "Feel Like Making Love", "Shooting Star", Ready For Love", "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", "Movin' On", and "Can't Get Enough".
sometime after Bad Company Paul Rodgers joined Jimmy Page in a band called The Firm, only 2 albums but good stuff, "Midnight Moonlight", "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and other good songs
I saw them back in the mid-eighties on their second tour, and feel really lucky to have caught them live. The Firm was like lightning in a bottle that was amazing but didn't last long.
First album for Bad Company formed from 50% (Paul Rogers & Simon Kirk) of the group Free after break-up. Never get tired of listening to Paul’s vocals and Simon’s uncomplicated drumming 😎
Paul Rogers was one of my all time favorite singers! Silver, Blue and Gold was always one of my favorite Bad Company songs, also! Thanks for the memories, boys!!!
Album came out around the first few weeks of my freshman year at college. The first single from it was "Can't Get Enough", which has a killer backbeat, prominent snare with drum fills.
Oh there are so many classic tracks to check out by this legendary band. Movin' On, Good Loving Gone Bad, Can't Get Enough, Shooting Star are just a handful of classics to continue the BadCo journey with. Great choice gents!
Finally!! I'm so happy you finally did Bad Company! A++ Now, you know why the band Free was essential. -- Paul Rodgers has a golden throat - that voice! As Andy noticed... Rodgers knows how to use his instrument. This song is just so yummy with vocals, dirty guitar - right down to piano. "Feel Like Making Love" is another one to try. Thanks for giving Paul Rodgers another shot! Have a great day fellas! :)
Feel Like Makin’ Love would be my choice for your second song. Bad Company has a large catalogue of great classic rock bangers. Paul Rogers’ voice is one of the best rock voices of all time. Can’t go wrong with this band.
One of, if not the best voice in R+R. Simple man...Shooting star...Feel like makin love... Can't get enough ...actually.... take your pick from their catalog..
I saw Paul singing leas with Queen back in '03. At one point in the show a piano raises up from the middle of the stage floor. Paul takes a seat. The place is completely quiet, wondering what is going to happen. He bangs out those opening licks on the piano and the place goes nuts. Hearing the song done with the "Queen Sound" was incredible. As a side note. It started with the 70's movie Bad Company which led to the band name, album, and song.
"Shooting Star" has the same kind of story as "Jukebox Hero" from Foreigner, which you loved, though it is more of a cautionary tale. I think you will like it as well.
Fire and water from Free was one of the best albums of the 70's. Every song is great. With the name Free, some customers in the stores where the albums were sold were assuming the album was free and started walking out of the store without paying. I noticed they would put a sicker on the album saying this is not a free album. This was 51 years ago.
One overlooked aspect of this rock era is the amazing cool drum grooves that feature a laid back approach yet totally in the pocket - if quantized these songs would completely lose their feel.
So glad you guys got to experience this! I could tell from your expressions during the intro that you thought it was going to be good, but you weren’t sure just how it was going to get there, then the big shift to the first chorus came and I knew you were hooked! Glad to see it!
Y’all just sent me down memory lane. The first time I saw Bad Company was at the infamous 1974 ZZ Top Rompin’ Stompin’ Barndance and Barbeque in Austin’s Memorial Stadium. The organizers planned on 30k people and ended up with 80k+ crammed in an outdoor stadium in sweltering, blistering upper 90 degree weather. I arrived hours before the noon gate opening and the concert started at 3 pm. The concession stand ran out of water and beverages around 2 pm. The line up was Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Santana and ZZ Top. I got to hear Bad Company’s set, but passed out from heat exhaustion and was carried to a medics tent long before ZZ Top hit the stage. I was wearing my cutest halter top and short shorts and had second degree sunburn on my shoulders arms and legs. Sounds horrible, but I was part of history and would do it all over because Bad Company, Joe Cocker and Santana were that awesome!
Bachman Turner - Overdrive “BTO” Rock Out to their song “Roll on down the Highway” Triple Platinum sales 1970’s. The album titled “Not Fragile” this is the opening track and needs a reaction as well.
"Not Fragile", the title song, is the album opener, not "Roll On Down The Highway". And the album hasn't even been certified platinum, much less triple platinum. It's only been certified gold. I understand how a person's enthusiasm can get them pumped up and saying things that they feel in their hearts, even if it's somewhat of an exaggeration. Sorry for getting so nit picky. Just my OCD kickin' in. "Not Fragile" is a phenomenal album that was in extreme heavy rotation in my car in the '70s, as were the first two albums and "Four Wheel Drive". I do appreciate someone who's as crazy about the album as I am. Peace.
@@Drummingvulture From Wiki...Not Fragile has gone on to achieve triple platinum status. Randy Bachman has called it the band's "crowning achievement," stating: "Not Fragile was when it all came together for us. We captured the album-oriented rock audience as well as the singles audience with that album. Not Fragile made BTO recognized around the world."
The question is who do we trust? as of this date Wikipedia says Triple platinum. You are probably right not in 1970’s which I did not clarify. If you note in my comments I did not say “roll on down the highway” was the opener.. but all that aside We have the same goal peace ✌️
Joan In Florida he is indeed considered one of the greatest vocalists in rock . He subbed for Freddie in Queen too. And The Voice has been used for him.
I've never thought of Paul as THE VOICE, though he does have a sexy, kind of gritty and smoky vocal style, that's just perfect for rock. To me, Steve Perry is the voice, for obvious reasons... and that moniker was first used to describe Perry.
Vocalist was previously the vocalist/song writer for the band Free on hits like "All Right Now". Free drummer also joined Bad Company. Additionally the bass player was with King Crimson prior to joining Bad Company, and guitarist from Mott the Hoople.
Great song! Feel Like Making Love would be a great followup. Also recommending: ELO - Livin' Thing, Turn to Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Showdown, Telephone Line Bob Seger - Turn the Page, Katmandu, Hollywood Nights, Night Moves Steely Dan - Black Cow, Don't Take Me Alive, Babylon Sisters, My Old School Supertramp - Bloody Well Right
I saw the Queen/Paul Rodgers collaboration live some years back. They meshed very well together, somewhat surprisingly I have to admit. But that's a testament to this man's incredible vocal prowess. Paul was Freddie Mercury's favorite singer too, I understand. It was a treat hearing them play a night of Queen, Bad Company, and Free tunes. Just such a consistent singer even as the decades roll by. Thanks for the Bad Company listen gents.
Glad you’ve caught up with the legendary pipes of Mr Paul Rodgers. I highly recommend his tribute album ‘Muddy Water Blues’ where he teamed up with David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Brian May and many more brilliant guest artists...
Some trivia on this song, album and band. The album was recorded at Headley Grange, the same recording venue LZ used for IV and parts of Houses of the Holy. A good reason for that. They were the first band to sign to LZ's independent vanity label Swan Song. The vocal for this song was recorded with Paul Rogers standing in the middle of a field at night to get the sound totally dry / forlorn / desolate to match the vibe of the song. Bad Company was formed after the demise of Free and was intended to be exactly what you hear -- kind of a steak and potatoes brand of rock but with REALLY GOOD steak and potatoes. That's probably why you aren't wowed by the simple two-snare hit transition form the verses into the choruses.
Can't Get Enough, Feel Like Making Love, Ready for Love, Shooting Star, Silver Blue and Gold...and don't miss his work with The Firm: Satisfaction Guaranteed and Radioactive
"Feel Like Makin' Love", "Gone, Gone, Gone", "Rock n' Roll Fantasy", "Rock Steady".... We're just skimming the top here, men. Pick whatever and just rock it and enjoy it.......... BTW, I can't believe you rock appreciators have not done the legendary Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band yet! You will so love their soulful stuff. First up, "Night Moves". OMG. Quintessential, timeless, incredible music.
Oh my goodness, where do I begin for suggestions for the next reaction song? Ready for Love, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy, Feel Like Making Love, Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Can't Get Enough, Burnin' Sky, Movin' On.
That's cool, you checking out Bad Company in a Zep shirt. Bad Company was the first band they signed to their own label, Swan Song. You played my personal anthem from my teens in the 70's . Some things age very very VERY well 😁
Andy, you were commenting about what your vocal coach tells you. I’m assuming what he(?) means is stay as close to an “ah” for as long as you can, like if you’re singing a long i, which is really a diphthong of ah transitioning to ee, don’t move to the ee until as late as possible. Here’s why: Your mouth is an overtone filter. That’s what makes the difference between one vowel and another. When you sing an oo, you’re singing mostly fundamental with very little overtones, so you’re closest to a sine wave if you were to graph the sound on an oscilloscope. When you sing an ee, you’re emphasizing overtones and filtering out fundamental. When you sing an ah, you’re doing the least filtering, so the most sound is coming out, not just in terms of air but in terms of all those extra frequencies coming out. If two of you want to fool around with this, you can prove it without any equipment. Higher pitches make shorter wavelengths, and short wavelengths have two properties that long ones don’t: 1. they’re easy to block, because your hand could be bigger than the wave, and 2. They’re very directional, meaning they move in a narrow beam rather than spreading everywhere. (You can hear wavelengths from about fifty feet long to under an inch, at least at your age. If you listen to loud rock for long enough, you’ll lose the ability to hear the shortest waves/Hughes pitches). Pick a note to sing. Start with an oo. As the other person listens, move your hand across your mouth so it goes between the listener and your mouth for a second. Then continue singing the note and turn your head back and forth, like a No, slowly. The listener probably won’t hear any difference. Sing the same pitch but as an ee and do the same things. You will hear an obvious difference when the hand crosses in front of the mouth and another obvious difference when the head turns, to the point where you could tell if the singer is facing you directly even if your eyes were closed.
Finally getting around to some Bad Company!! What an awesome title track! What other bangers have they got?! Let us know down below! Cheers friends!! 🤟🏻🔥
Andy & Alex Feel Like Makin’ Love is another one by them! (Although I really want to see Truckin’ by The Grateful Dead!!) ☮️✌️
Ready for Love or Rock and roll Fantasy 🎸🎸🎸🎹🎵
Paul Roger's voice is just fantastic! This is a really great band
It'll never get voted here but Burnin Sky is their ultra sauce banger.
Love this tune lads! I think it's time you checked out some traffic. How about Dear Mr. Fantasy to get started?
Shakti - India
It's weird watching someone's first reactions to a song that's been in your own life forever.
But really awesome.
Yep..I love it though
I love watching these videos. It’s cool when young ones appreciate the music. Hoping so anyhow.
Everything is weird nowadays.
It's a great thing. Hope they carry it on.
"Feel Like Making Love" is a great straight forward rock song they did. A good follow-up to this.
Cue John Redcorn coming to pick up Dale's wife for "migraine" treatment.
oh yeah, yeah, yeah! Good one. That's the one I was thinking about but instead keyed in Can't Get Enough of Your Love.
Too wimpy stop girly boy crap
@@peterhineinlegen4672 hey, John has really helped my wife!
It always makes me shiver
"Shooting Star", "Running With The Pack", "Feel Like Making Love", "The Sky Is Burning", "Can't Get Enough"...
Paul is still out there kicking ass.
"Electricland" is probably my favourite from them, but man do they ever have a lot of great ones.
"Holy Water", "Rock'n'Roll Fantasy", and "Rock Steady" are three more I'd add to the list in terms of really hard hitting "iconic" BC songs to check out.

"The sky is burning" is my favorite
Every o one of those tracks is a hittt!!!
The song title is BURNIN’ SKY
crap rocknroll
Bad Company is one of the most underrated bands ever! So many great songs and great albums!
I think the word "underrated" is overused.
@@MrDeathpilot agreed. However, not here. Most people, even back in the day, don't know who they were.
Not underrated. They were actually a Supergroup and hit the ground running. They even used a few songs from Rodgers' previous band "Free." 😊
Never
One of my fav bands of all time
I,m 72 and still enjoy this music ,real music
Fun fact: Ronnie Van Zant was so impressed with this band he named his bass boat Bad Company.
Rock Steady is also a straight banger.
He was a huge fan of Free as well. Check out Free’s song Woman and Skynyrd’s song Cheatin’ Woman. Very similar vibe other than opposite ends of the love scale.
Yes, Good lovin gone bad! Great vocals in that song
And once and current Skynyrd member Rickey Medlocke covered Bad Company's Wishing Well in his band Blackfoot.
Wayne Thera Also Skynyrd’s On The Hunt has a heavy Free influence in it. Rossington was a Kossoff fan and Ronnie loved Paul Rodgers voice
It’s been said that there was one song on every album that Ronnie would purposely try to sound like Paul because he was his favorite vocalist. And as previously mentioned, Gary Rossington’s favorite guitarist was Kossoff.
I don’t think Paul Rogers ever sang a bad song!!! He’s a living legend!
I agree with you. Most singers have crappy performances now and then, never Paul. Guess that's why he is called "The Voice.".
Nio question. 4 shows akways dynamite.
Hes right there with all the greats to me.
Except maybe Plant-
in another planet league altogether.
Yeah I agree . Saw him in Atlanta in 1985 in a group called the Firm . Some guy I had never heard of named Jimmy Page was on lead guitar .
He did some really great stuff with The Firm, accompanied by Jimmy Page. Feel like he really showed his vocal range with them.
Badass voice. Badass song. Just all around badass!!!
Rock steady, shooting star, feel like makin love, can't get enough, rock n roll fantasy, ready for love
love Rock Steady
Yes. Every song listed!!!
Great list! I would probably add Burning Sky
@@garylindsey5174 I was just about to add that one myself😃👍👊
Kori Sosuke Silver, Blue and Gold?
"Ready For Love"
"Feel Like Making Love"
"Shooting Star"
"Running With The Pack"
"Can't Get Enough Of Your Love"
One of my favourites is one of their lesser known songs...."Seagull"
Yes,all these
all of these ... lol
Definitely all good. "Can't get enough of Your Love" Rocks pretty good and has some Attitude.
Rock and roll fantasy,great song by them also

How about Rock Steady or Movin On?
@@ChicagoBeaver Both good choices
@@jgsrhythm100 that one and Seagull. those are incredible.
Most rock singers can scream, but few carry the melody into the scream like he does. So strong and clear, rasp on command.
Carry the melody into the scream ...well said ,man!
That's why Paul Rodgers is the greatest rock vocalist EVER
I grew up on this stuff, one of the most diverse music times to be alive!
Another great band though short lived with Paul Rogers was The Firm, featuring Jimmy page of Led Zeppelin, Chris Slade (drummer) from Uriah Heep. Their songs Satisfaction Guaranteed and Radioactive are must listen to songs
Their hit was "Radioactive"

Live In Peace from Mean Business~
Paul Rodgers is one of those singers other rockers love. He’s been the lead singer for so many bands - Free, Bad Company, The Firm, even Queen recently. Other bangers are Feel Like Making Love, Good Lovin’ Gone Bad, and Shooting Star.
The Queen run solidified his genius. He isn’t remotely similar to Freddie and he still did amazing. I was shocked.
Just plain soulful!
He was asked to be in Deep Purple too.
The fascination with outlaws is never-ending. I love this band! Song suggestions: "Can't Get Enough," "Ready for Love," "Good Lovin' Gone Bad," "Feel Like Makin' Love," "Shooting Star," "Silver, Blue and Gold." I'll stop there. lol Well done, guys!
Exactly
Agreed. This list should get you through a Bad Co marathon here
Paul Rogers also sang for The Firm featuring Jimi Page on guitar. Radioactive was one of their biggest hits.
Satisfaction Guaranteed was my favorite
Led Zeppelin is my favorite band and Paul my favorite "Rock Voice" - I never saw either band in concert but I did see The Firm at the Fabulous Forum and Jimmy played a solo with the violin bow in a triangle of laser lights and fog...pretty special moment for me!

“Burning Sky” is a must. Great job peeps.
His vocals on this is crazy
Burning Sky DEFINITELY!
Paul Rogers sounds even better today. Like a fine wine.
One bad company was touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd a few years ago I was so freaking happy we saw that tour three times
Absolutely true...His voice is stronger now.
Ready For Love, Rock Steady. Drummer Simon Kirk is also from Free, guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell from King Crimson. Each member was great in their own right.

Bravo Ron. Beautifully written. So very true.
Exactly, to have lived through an era when you had The Beatles, Stones, The Who, Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfunkle, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Band, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Jefferson Airplane, CSN&Y, Brian Wilson/Beach Boys, Little Feat and on and on and on making/pushing/creating music that was just THE NORMAL was an incredible time.
I just realized how many songs and lyrics are stored in this 65 year old brain...best years musically - '64 onwards. Still love music and appreciate talent. And don't even get me started on all of the great concerts I've seen.
"Feel Like Makin' Love," "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love". Paul Rogers amazing. That's a fantastic album, and they have lots of great songs. Bad Company Rocks. Paul Rogers also did a few concerts with Queen after Freddie Mercury passed. Paul Rogers also had a band with Jimmy Page, The Firm. I was going to see them in concert at Madison Square Garden and went to a restaurant near The Garden to eat before the show. There was a jukebox in the restaurant, I went to play a song, saw a Bad Company tune, picked the song, and a guy next to me asked what I was chosing, I said, "Bad Company because I'm going to see Paul Rogers play at the Garden tonight". The guy starts laughing, puts his hand out to shake. It was Paul Rogers. He was in there having dinner. It was a crazy moment, but he talked to my friends and I for a few minutes and then left to go do the show. And it was a great one. One day check out The Firm, "Radioactive".
A great introductory song to Bad Company! Other great songs; "Feel Like Making Love", "Shooting Star", Ready For Love", "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", "Movin' On", and "Can't Get Enough".
Paul Rodgers was Freddie Mercury's favorite vocalist.
Mine too. Just perfect.
T. Andra I can see why. Rodgers was great and still is
And Ronnie Van Zant's favorite also
Paul Rodgers actually fronted a version of Queen - the album was "The Cosmos Rocks".
Scott DeBerg Cool
sometime after Bad Company Paul Rodgers joined Jimmy Page in a band called The Firm, only 2 albums but good stuff, "Midnight Moonlight", "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and other good songs
Tony Franklin’s fretless bass is one of my favorite parts of The Firm!
Watch Chris Cornell do the acoustic Almost forgot my broken heart...mouth hardly moves 😆
I saw them back in the mid-eighties on their second tour, and feel really lucky to have caught them live. The Firm was like lightning in a bottle that was amazing but didn't last long.
First album for Bad Company formed from 50% (Paul Rogers & Simon Kirk) of the group Free after break-up. Never get tired of listening to Paul’s vocals and Simon’s uncomplicated drumming 😎
Paul Rogers was one of my all time favorite singers! Silver, Blue and Gold was always one of my favorite Bad Company songs, also! Thanks for the memories, boys!!!
Easy on my Soul great song
@@davidreed6264 You betcha!
First band signed to Zeppelin's new record label, Swan Song.
When you post a comment, then scroll down to see someone beat you to it 🙄
Ever check out detective? Love them
Album came out around the first few weeks of my freshman year at college. The first single from it was "Can't Get Enough", which has a killer backbeat, prominent snare with drum fills.
This my favorite album of theirs. I felt they peaked early.
Paul Rodgers just has the best damn voice
This entire album is gold. They sound even better in person. Nice guys.
or a western
Oh there are so many classic tracks to check out by this legendary band. Movin' On, Good Loving Gone Bad, Can't Get Enough, Shooting Star are just a handful of classics to continue the BadCo journey with. Great choice gents!
All of those are awesome Bad Company songs! Don’t forget about “Silver, Blue and Gold” off the Run with the Pack album
I believe it's an actual law in fourteen states that you must listen to Feel Like Makin' Love after this song.
Absolutely here in Dallas 😜
True story
Yea I looked it up
I’m the Florida statutes we are in fact legally bound to
Bad Company: "Cant Get Enough of Your Love" Was their BIGGEST hit!
Yes and their worst, imo.
and one of their worst lol
Same band name, song title, album title.....kickass on all 3.
I still can’t over the fact that you guys are so new to songs I’ve literally grew up with and have heard hundreds of times.👊✌️
“Seagull” by Bad Company is one of the best acoustic songs ever. Great lyrics and Paul Rogers voice is incredible.
Five Finger Death Punch covered this song back in 2010...probably the one you were thinking of.
th-cam.com/video/u_VsvZmIWxY/w-d-xo.html is the link to the cover
Yeah the band that that feels like they have to ruin a perfect song that never needs to be redone.
They ruined a good song.
Paul Rodgers is a great... This band is absolutely fabulous!!! Shooting star ,,,, or Rock and roll fantasy... Ready for Love...all classics🎶🎶🎶🎶
Oh yeah! Feeln like and Rock n Roll fantasy are just great kicking song's!
Finally!! I'm so happy you finally did Bad Company! A++ Now, you know why the band Free was essential. -- Paul Rodgers has a golden throat - that voice! As Andy noticed... Rodgers knows how to use his instrument. This song is just so yummy with vocals, dirty guitar - right down to piano. "Feel Like Making Love" is another one to try. Thanks for giving Paul Rodgers another shot! Have a great day fellas! :)
I grew up listening to Bad Company. Love them!
“Can’t get enough of your love”was bad company’s best song.Period.
Crank the volume and lets Rock out guys. Love this song
"Running with the Pack," and "Straight Shooter" are also great albums by them.
Feel Like Makin’ Love would be my choice for your second song. Bad Company has a large catalogue of great classic rock bangers. Paul Rogers’ voice is one of the best rock voices of all time. Can’t go wrong with this band.
One of, if not the best voice in R+R. Simple man...Shooting star...Feel like makin love... Can't get enough ...actually.... take your pick from their catalog..
A staple on 70s rock radio along with "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Shooting Star", "Movin' On", "Rock and Roll Fantasy", "Ready for Love"...
First band signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song Record label
Glad you guys made it here to Bad Company. Paul Rogers as a vocalist, just phenomenal.
Next? “Rock Steady”
First album ever bought was Bad Company’s “ Straight Shooter”, try the song “ Seagull” by this band....simple but really cool
VERY COOL...!
*YESSSSS, Chris!! "Seagull" Joe Bonamassa does it justice too. I saw him on a blues cruise with Larkin Poe and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.*
I saw Paul singing leas with Queen back in '03. At one point in the show a piano raises up from the middle of the stage floor. Paul takes a seat. The place is completely quiet, wondering what is going to happen. He bangs out those opening licks on the piano and the place goes nuts. Hearing the song done with the "Queen Sound" was incredible.
As a side note. It started with the 70's movie Bad Company which led to the band name, album, and song.
"Shooting Star" has the same kind of story as "Jukebox Hero" from Foreigner, which you loved, though it is more of a cautionary tale. I think you will like it as well.
"Can't Get Enough" and "Movin' On" are two of my favorites.
Paul Rodgers has one of the very best voices in Rock n Roll.
Thank you guys. I'd forgotten how much I love Bad Company - group, song, album. The piano and that super fuzz guitar... paired so damn well here.
Fire and water from Free was one of the best albums of the 70's. Every song is great. With the name Free, some customers in the stores where the albums were sold were assuming the album was free and started walking out of the store without paying. I noticed they would put a sicker on the album saying this is not a free album. This was 51 years ago.
The thing I love about this song, is that you FEEL like you are in the wild west while its playing. It just takes you there.
One overlooked aspect of this rock era is the amazing cool drum grooves that feature a laid back approach yet totally in the pocket - if quantized these songs would completely lose their feel.
Is that you, Rick Beato? :)
"Runnin with the Pack".... Another great song.
"Shooting Star" and "Silver, Blue, and Gold" next but the whole Bad Co album is great.
Silver, Blue, and Gold is one of my all-time favorite songs. I love everything from this album and Run With the Pack, though.
So glad you guys got to experience this! I could tell from your expressions during the intro that you thought it was going to be good, but you weren’t sure just how it was going to get there, then the big shift to the first chorus came and I knew you were hooked! Glad to see it!
Y’all just sent me down memory lane. The first time I saw Bad Company was at the infamous 1974 ZZ Top Rompin’ Stompin’ Barndance and Barbeque in Austin’s Memorial Stadium. The organizers planned on 30k people and ended up with 80k+ crammed in an outdoor stadium in sweltering, blistering upper 90 degree weather. I arrived hours before the noon gate opening and the concert started at 3 pm. The concession stand ran out of water and beverages around 2 pm. The line up was Bad Company, Joe Cocker, Santana and ZZ Top. I got to hear Bad Company’s set, but passed out from heat exhaustion and was carried to a medics tent long before ZZ Top hit the stage. I was wearing my cutest halter top and short shorts and had second degree sunburn on my shoulders arms and legs. Sounds horrible, but I was part of history and would do it all over because Bad Company, Joe Cocker and Santana were that awesome!
Paul Rodgers is known as "The Voice" for obvious reasons....I'd say one of the top three vocalists in Rock.
Glen Hughes!!!
Rodgers is still great.
David Coverdale
I know Rod Stewart said he felt Rodgers was the finest rock n' roll vocalist in all of England.
What's amazing is that Rodgers still has his chops to this day.
"Movin' On", Shooting Star, "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy"
Bachman Turner - Overdrive “BTO” Rock Out to their song “Roll on down the Highway” Triple Platinum sales 1970’s. The album titled “Not Fragile” this is the opening track and needs a reaction as well.
"Not Fragile", the title song, is the album opener, not "Roll On Down The Highway". And the album hasn't even been certified platinum, much less triple platinum. It's only been certified gold.
I understand how a person's enthusiasm can get them pumped up and saying things that they feel in their hearts, even if it's somewhat of an exaggeration.
Sorry for getting so nit picky. Just my OCD kickin' in. "Not Fragile" is a phenomenal album that was in extreme heavy rotation in my car in the '70s, as were the first two albums and "Four Wheel Drive". I do appreciate someone who's as crazy about the album as I am.
Peace.
@@Drummingvulture From Wiki...Not Fragile has gone on to achieve triple platinum status. Randy Bachman has called it the band's "crowning achievement," stating: "Not Fragile was when it all came together for us. We captured the album-oriented rock audience as well as the singles audience with that album. Not Fragile made BTO recognized around the world."
Not Fragile is an excellent album, the title track was a breath of fresh air when it came out in a world drowning in disco crap.
Free Wheelin tribute to Duane Allman
The question is who do we trust? as of this date Wikipedia says Triple platinum. You are probably right not in 1970’s which I did not clarify. If you note in my comments I did not say “roll on down the highway” was the opener.. but all that aside We have the same goal peace ✌️
I Remember Buying This Album Becoming A Instant Bad Company Fan --- Raul Rodgers
Rocks With His Voice
oh yes you guys finally played it ,yeah,you need to hear rock steady,and shooting star so many ,one of the great bands of the 70s ,one of my favs
All these years later, this song still rocks. Oh yeah!
You should do the Bad Company song “Good Loving Gone Bad”. It rocks....
They didn’t call Paul Rodgers “The Voice” for nothing.
Joan In Florida he is indeed considered one of the greatest vocalists in rock . He subbed for Freddie in Queen too. And The Voice has been used for him.
That's right! When they reacted and spoke of how great his voice is, I said out loud That's because he's The Voice!
I've never thought of Paul as THE VOICE, though he does have a sexy, kind of gritty and smoky vocal style, that's just perfect for rock. To me, Steve Perry is the voice, for obvious reasons... and that moniker was first used to describe Perry.
How many "The voice" singers are there lol.John Farnham's another.
He is also known as the Yeah Yeah man
I got 2 c them live in Lakeland FLA.. ✌️🎼🎸one of the best concerts , that I've seen..
Vocalist was previously the vocalist/song writer for the band Free on hits like "All Right Now". Free drummer also joined Bad Company. Additionally the bass player was with King Crimson prior to joining Bad Company, and guitarist from Mott the Hoople.
Atlantic Rhythm Section Not gonna let it bother me tonight.
Atlanta, brother! One of my faves.
Atlanta Rhythm Section
Feeling Like an Alien
Spooky and So Into You, too.
And Spooky...jam song
Great song! Feel Like Making Love would be a great followup.
Also recommending:
ELO - Livin' Thing, Turn to Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Showdown, Telephone Line
Bob Seger - Turn the Page, Katmandu, Hollywood Nights, Night Moves
Steely Dan - Black Cow, Don't Take Me Alive, Babylon Sisters, My Old School
Supertramp - Bloody Well Right
For Supertramp, I think they would probably enjoy "School" more, but you really can't pick a bad song from that album.
Paul Rodgers has the best vocals, did you guys know he joined up with Queen after Freddie died? Pretty awesome.....great job guys
Saw them twice but the best time was a day before my 21st birthday stood fairly close to the stage and Max and Paddy joined them on stage at the end!
I saw the Queen/Paul Rodgers collaboration live some years back. They meshed very well together, somewhat surprisingly I have to admit. But that's a testament to this man's incredible vocal prowess. Paul was Freddie Mercury's favorite singer too, I understand. It was a treat hearing them play a night of Queen, Bad Company, and Free tunes. Just such a consistent singer even as the decades roll by. Thanks for the Bad Company listen gents.
Glad you’ve caught up with the legendary pipes of Mr Paul Rodgers. I highly recommend his tribute album ‘Muddy Water Blues’ where he teamed up with David Gilmour, Jeff Beck, Brian May and many more brilliant guest artists...
Some trivia on this song, album and band. The album was recorded at Headley Grange, the same recording venue LZ used for IV and parts of Houses of the Holy. A good reason for that. They were the first band to sign to LZ's independent vanity label Swan Song. The vocal for this song was recorded with Paul Rogers standing in the middle of a field at night to get the sound totally dry / forlorn / desolate to match the vibe of the song. Bad Company was formed after the demise of Free and was intended to be exactly what you hear -- kind of a steak and potatoes brand of rock but with REALLY GOOD steak and potatoes. That's probably why you aren't wowed by the simple two-snare hit transition form the verses into the choruses.
"Good Loving Gone Bad"
Absolute BANGER!
Can't Get Enough, Feel Like Making Love, Ready for Love, Shooting Star, Silver Blue and Gold...and don't miss his work with The Firm: Satisfaction Guaranteed and Radioactive
Charlie Stilton LOVE the bass and groove in Radioactive!
I agree with other comment..
"Silver Blue and Gold" and "Shooting Star".
I had this 8-track tape. 😄
"Feel Like Makin' Love", "Gone, Gone, Gone", "Rock n' Roll Fantasy", "Rock Steady".... We're just skimming the top here, men. Pick whatever and just rock it and enjoy it.......... BTW, I can't believe you rock appreciators have not done the legendary Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band yet! You will so love their soulful stuff. First up, "Night Moves". OMG. Quintessential, timeless, incredible music.
First heard this in the earlier 70 s still sounds fresh today
Five Finger Death Punch did a cover of this song.
yeah... Metal as hell. Great cover.
I appreciate their video for the song, but their version is severely lacking musically & vocally. Meh, not impressed.
Totally agree Bucket dude
Oh my goodness, where do I begin for suggestions for the next reaction song? Ready for Love, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy, Feel Like Making Love, Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Can't Get Enough, Burnin' Sky, Movin' On.
How about some BTO - “Let It Ride!”
AND "Taking Care of Business" & "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet".
BTO Rolling Down The Highway. Fred Turner's voice is one of a kind.
One of my favorite albums, and know the words to every song! Can't go wrong with any of the tracks off of this one! 👍
That's cool, you checking out Bad Company in a Zep shirt. Bad Company was the first band they signed to their own label, Swan Song. You played my personal anthem from my teens in the 70's . Some things age very very VERY well 😁
What a great way to start off the morning by listening to you two react to Bad Company's "Bad Company"! 🎵🤘🏻💖
The next BC song should be “Ready for Love”. Slow rocker.
After that, Seagull.
Oh boy I’ve been waiting for this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Andy, you were commenting about what your vocal coach tells you. I’m assuming what he(?) means is stay as close to an “ah” for as long as you can, like if you’re singing a long i, which is really a diphthong of ah transitioning to ee, don’t move to the ee until as late as possible. Here’s why:
Your mouth is an overtone filter. That’s what makes the difference between one vowel and another. When you sing an oo, you’re singing mostly fundamental with very little overtones, so you’re closest to a sine wave if you were to graph the sound on an oscilloscope. When you sing an ee, you’re emphasizing overtones and filtering out fundamental. When you sing an ah, you’re doing the least filtering, so the most sound is coming out, not just in terms of air but in terms of all those extra frequencies coming out.
If two of you want to fool around with this, you can prove it without any equipment. Higher pitches make shorter wavelengths, and short wavelengths have two properties that long ones don’t: 1. they’re easy to block, because your hand could be bigger than the wave, and 2. They’re very directional, meaning they move in a narrow beam rather than spreading everywhere. (You can hear wavelengths from about fifty feet long to under an inch, at least at your age. If you listen to loud rock for long enough, you’ll lose the ability to hear the shortest waves/Hughes pitches). Pick a note to sing. Start with an oo. As the other person listens, move your hand across your mouth so it goes between the listener and your mouth for a second. Then continue singing the note and turn your head back and forth, like a No, slowly. The listener probably won’t hear any difference. Sing the same pitch but as an ee and do the same things. You will hear an obvious difference when the hand crosses in front of the mouth and another obvious difference when the head turns, to the point where you could tell if the singer is facing you directly even if your eyes were closed.
One of my favorite reaction videos is when i found this group called Band Maid and then found the reaction videos. That band will blow you away.
