Brian was the best voice of Bad Co. Both are great, but Brian is the only one who has the voice and range that can surpass any rock singer of the past including Paul Rodgers. Paul is great… everyone loves him… but Brian is phenomenal! He’s better than Journey and all the other high pitched singers of bands we love in the USA. No voice matches Brian’s… and the songs don’t match either. He was the best!
One of my favorite Bad Company songs with Brian Howe. Just heard he passed away today in Florida. A great vocalist. Rest In Peace. Thanks for all the great music.
When Brian Howe replaced Paul Rodgers he also took over as the main songwriter for the band. I love both the old BC and the BC with Brian Howe. Amazing singers both of them.
Mick Ralphs guitar and Simon Kirke's drumming absolutely killed it on this track! They both should be very proud of this song! Damn shame they literally buried Brian Howe before his passing....RIP: Brian Howe! I will always treasure your years with Bad Company!!!
Sad fact about business is that Brian was a paid employee, Ralph’s/Kirke did all the music, Brian had little stake in the band, probably sold what little he had.
One of the greatest voices in the history of Rock music. Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Steve Perry of Journey. And Brian Howe, who made 4 albums with Bad Co.
I blared this on my car stereo. My friends and girlfriends would cruize the streets listening to the big haired bands in the 80's. I miss the 80's so bad.
@@graemestansfield6170 you got that right Graeme about the 80's it sure was special and it was much simpler times and music was fun and just a good time, here's to ya Graeme for still rocken out and be safe🍻🍺🍺 😎🤙
I agree with you. When paul left they're going. What will we do now.we don't have a front guy...... then Mick Jones convinced howe to join the group and the rest was history.
R.I.P.!!! Brian Howe!!! the incredibly gifted singer for Bad Company on this album and what I call there masterpiece....The "Holy Water" album. Loved him as a vocalist, and from all the interviews and reading I have done on him through the years...he was quite the character as well!!! Hope he's in a better place and in peace....Rock on!!
The longer I don't hear any better music than this, the more I realize Brian Howe had serious game. I wish he would have gotten to name his own band so he'd have gotten more credit.
Sadly, Brian Howe is gone today. I consider his contribution to Bad Company to be crucial to their survival till the return of Paul Rodgers. His voice was very distinctive. You will be missed, Sir. RIP.
Brian made this song what it is because he was one Smoking ____ing simger! A truly unique voice that brought this band back come the dead! But he never got the credit for it. I saw him on tour years later in a bar in DeKalb, IL and although it wasn’t the blistering sounds that he had brought’n back to Bad Company it was to me still an excellent show. Just to get to see him perform live was great to me although I’m sure to him it probably just a job to earn some money and it has to hurt to someone who at one time was on Cloud Nine for a while we it’s a band that never seemed to really welcome him as they should have for reviving there band back to top notch status. I saw Michael Schenker in that same bar a couple of years later and again they were great but it does seem like it’s just a gig and on down the road they go to the next one. But let me tell you there is still nothing like a live music she that can never be replaced by a video and to be able to see these great Rockers was a privilege to me and I will always cherish these shows. I’m sorry to know that I will never get another chance to see Brian perform live again but he’s singing with a bunch of other rock stars from now on in a place where He Will Always Be Appreciated! Turtle 🐢
brian howe walked into a lead singer spot with one of the most legendary rocking bands of all the time and did what few could have done he carried the load he was so phenominal with out brian doing what he does bad co would have just flopped but they did world tours sold millions of albums brian howe gid damn it what a singer a true talent
Yes, bringing in Howe was great... But it was fabulous once they put Ted Templeton in charge of production... Ted was a perfectionist and did great work with the reformed Bad Company.
That's right he had his own style. I.mean Howe was a legend in his own right. Ya know Brian kept the ball rolling despite his relationship with mick and Simon. I think mick and Simon failed to see the potential in Brian.
Buckeye Gurl, You hit the nail on the head-Brian Howe is an amazing vocalist!! And I love the heavier,harder sound Bad Company had when he was their frontman!!
you really feel this in high school, everything about yourself emotionally you feel more with a song like this. Then you wake up decades later and the one you wanted to have smoke, fire, heat, and flame with, isn't the hot person you remember from back then. Time heals all wounds. And Karma is a fickle bitch.
Gene is good but this guy "fundamentally" is better more crisp and clean chord exchanges Gene sings too so but I like Blackie Lawless on Bass, I am late & so cant get into this right now Just HAD to say my Opinion LoL
2013 and I still rock this one... like Steven Tyler always said back then, " The train kept a rollin' all night long of rock n' roll, which you cannot kill, it will live forever, its here again" Rock of the 80's fuels my core, I am bound to it. Bad company with Brian Howe was good stuff, Paul Rodgers BC was and is legendary.
Brian Howe is AMAZING! All of these songs CRANK!!! I love Paul but Brian is a powerhouse singer. Also listen to the drums on this. Who engineered and produced it? It's all layered and sits quite well. The drums are tight crisp. Really good stuff. Sounds like some that could have been in Studio B at Ocean Way but probably England?
Rip Brian Howe your voice will live on!! So many great artist have came and gone and Brian you where one among many,,Gone too soon,you will never be forgotten my heart aches today for your family who is suffering at the lost of a loved one,,Bad Company Forever!!! ✊️✊️👊👊
They released four albums with him. The first one completely sucks (pressured by Atlantic to put out something pop sounding). This was the 2nd and the next two were also pretty good. Holy Water (the 3rd) sold the most.
Bad Company in the 'Foreigner mode'...such a great laid-back hard rock tune...listening while driving to the college along with Winger "Can't Get Enuff", Damn Yankees "Come Again", Giant "I See You In My Dreams", Black Crows "Twice As Hard", Ratt "Loving You's A Dirty Job"...Djane Liz Hanson from C-Rock "Six...six in a row...on C 98..."
A great song Brian Howell has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart good song writer bad company rocks I love you Brian Howell RIP 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
I have been a Bad Company fan for as long as I can remember. When Rogers left the band I quit buying their albums. Damnit I see now what I missed! He's no Paul Rogers but he's damn good!!!
Bad Company did much better with Brian in the 80's. Paul was still in the 70's style musicc. Brian took them into current at the time. He also had a better voice than Paul. Much stronger.
@@bogus696996 What? There is no better rock voice than Paul Rogers and to this day can still belt out a tune when his peers cannot anymore. He's the sound of rock. He was in so many great bands. Free, Bad Co, played with Queen. What did Brian Howe do? Rogers has been doing it since the EARLY 70's. Quit amazing gift.
My favorite Bad Company lineup included Brian Howe. Period. Was just devastated to learn about his passing last year. So much talent - so little time. Rest In Peace Brian. You will always be remembered for making Bad Company one of my favorite bands only when you were a part of it.

Even though Paul Rogers is the true voice of Badco, the Brian Howe era cannot be underestimated.
Голос Брайана супер как и Лу Грамм

One of my favorite Bad Company songs with Brian Howe. Just heard he passed away today in Florida. A great vocalist. Rest In Peace. Thanks for all the great music.
Passed away yesterday.
One of the best
We need music like this again. People would be so much happier. This is real rock music.
When Brian Howe replaced Paul Rodgers he also took over as the main songwriter for the band. I love both the old BC and the BC with Brian Howe. Amazing singers both of them.
2 totally different sounds, one sucks the other is legendary
Agreed. Paul Rodgers doesn’t even have a clue when compared to Brian Howes abilities.
Yeah howe helped the group return to the mainstream. While they helped mick Jones and Ted Nugent with howes career. And they took him to superstardom.
Mick Ralphs guitar and Simon Kirke's drumming absolutely killed it on this track! They both should be very proud of this song! Damn shame they literally buried Brian Howe before his passing....RIP: Brian Howe! I will always treasure your years with Bad Company!!!
Sad fact about business is that Brian was a paid employee, Ralph’s/Kirke did all the music, Brian had little stake in the band, probably sold what little he had.
I’m a old black man from Oklahoma and all I can say ohhhhh there’s no smoke without a fire there’s no heat without a flame
One of the greatest voices in the history of Rock music. Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Steve Perry of Journey. And Brian Howe, who made 4 albums with Bad Co.
You are right on point, baby!
I blared this on my car stereo. My friends and girlfriends would cruize the streets listening to the big haired bands in the 80's. I miss the 80's so bad.
Same here..cranked this song many times
Me to
I'm with you Scott Fox I miss the 80s so bad !!!!
80's were something special glad I was part of it.
@@graemestansfield6170 you got that right Graeme about the 80's it sure was special and it was much simpler times and music was fun and just a good time, here's to ya Graeme for still rocken out and be safe🍻🍺🍺 😎🤙
Best Bad Co album ever. Just my 2 cents and don’t give a damn if anyone agrees with me or not! RIP Brian Howell. You rocked bro!
Paul Rogers is a Legend! But, I saw Bad Company with Brian Howe and they Kicked Ass!
One of my favorite Bad Company songs ever!
Holy water.... bad company .
No smoke with a fire in that order lol party hard
Great band! Good singer! Good song!❤❤❤😊
I always liked Bad Company, but I fell in LOVE with them when Brian Howe took the lead singer position. They had the true rock edge with him.
Totally agree
His voice is incredible, it just can't get any better!
Brian Howe’s voice is high pitched & whiny. Paul Rodgers had a legendary voice.
I agree with you. When paul left they're going. What will we do now.we don't have a front guy...... then Mick Jones convinced howe to join the group and the rest was history.
👍
Clearly you've never heard Blackie lawless, Layne Staley, Ozzy Osbourne, Vince Neil, Marc storace, Stephen Pearcy just to name a few
@@brianezell5790 👍
R.I.P.!!! Brian Howe!!! the incredibly gifted singer for Bad Company on this album and what I call there masterpiece....The "Holy Water" album. Loved him as a vocalist, and from all the interviews and reading I have done on him through the years...he was quite the character as well!!! Hope he's in a better place and in peace....Rock on!!
...there masterpiece?
This song was not on the album Holy Water
Dangerous Age
He is a high pitched whiny vocalist. Paul Rodgers was an incredibly gifted singer.
Fantastic songs I love Brian’s vocals
Just read online that Brian Howe has passed away at 66. Rest in peace, Brian.
The longer I don't hear any better music than this, the more I realize Brian Howe had serious game. I wish he would have gotten to name his own band so he'd have gotten more credit.
How true you are..always said this..
I agree. I think that Howe got a raw deal from Ted Nugent, Bad Company, and the Record Industry, in general.
@@horacenealii9268 I don't think he's too upset about it, when sipping wine next to his swimming pool at his large waterside home in Fort Myers Beach!
@@grobbler1 and now he's sipping *Holy Water* at the swimming pool in the sky. RIP Brian
@@RoxyWrites Yes, it's absolutely awful that he passed relatively young.
Aguante el hard rock de los 80 ❤🤘😈🧛🤘💯
Whose blazing away to this kick ass tune August 20 2022 ..EXTREME VOLUME NEEDED ...LET THE NEIGHBORS ENJOY IT TOO
Getting huge vibes from the late 80's band Giant in this one, which is good thing and a huge compliment
Sadly, Brian Howe is gone today. I consider his contribution to Bad Company to be crucial to their survival till the return of Paul Rodgers. His voice was very distinctive. You will be missed, Sir. RIP.
Brian made this song what it is because he was one
Smoking ____ing simger!
A truly unique voice that brought this band back come the dead!

So true and a great way to sum it up!!! R.I.P. Brian Howe....rock on!!
um ok.......lol -
That's right he had his own style. I.mean Howe was a legend in his own right. Ya know Brian kept the ball rolling despite his relationship with mick and Simon. I think mick and Simon failed to see the potential in Brian.
Howe best powerful vocal !!!! Forever!
Never considered this true Bad Co, but this guy was a hell of a singer.
I remember when this came out....couldn't believe it was BC, different singer and very heavy. Awesome song....Brian wrote it...... R.I.P. sir.
Buckeye Gurl, You hit the nail on the head-Brian Howe is an amazing vocalist!! And I love the heavier,harder sound Bad Company had when he was their frontman!!
Yes RIP loooove Bad Company best music ever!❤
It just kills me that for some unknown reason classic rock radio stations refuse to play Brian Howe era Bad Company and I think it's a damn shame.
Damn right! WDRV in Chicago sucks ass!
Who would of thought music like this would become a thing of the past? What a shame.
brian howe nailed many bad co tunes and deserves big props.
I'm lovin' all the Bad Company fans on here that don't have to do a Sam or Dave thing like Van Halen Fans. Glad People love both singers!
Holy Water One of the best albums sold great music love it R.A. V.
This song was on Dangerous Age, not Holy Water (which is a great album)
Yes... Dangerous age with the picture of the child smoking a cigarette on the album cover!
I saw them in the eighties, they was jamming, in 2013 they still Got It... BWright
I like this Bad Co. tune the best, even with Brian Howe on vocals...
BAD COMPANY✌️. 60s 70s 80s.+. Cool. Some Decent Sounds. Maghull. Liverpool. England.💜💙❤️
you really feel this in high school, everything about yourself emotionally you feel more with a song like this. Then you wake up decades later and the one you wanted to have smoke, fire, heat, and flame with, isn't the hot person you remember from back then. Time heals all wounds. And Karma is a fickle bitch.
the best era of BC...no question.
Remember stealing this tape when it came out. Good shit!
Talk about a band hitting the lotto twice. Two incredible great vocalists. Crazy good
And that bassist, best in the planet.
Gene is good but this guy "fundamentally" is better more crisp and clean chord exchanges Gene sings too so but I like Blackie Lawless on Bass, I am late & so cant get into this right now Just HAD to say my Opinion LoL
My favorite bad company song. R.I.P. Brian Howe.
Too Bad BAD CO won't play these songs with Paul R. They should be PROUD to have them in their List, GREAT SONGS!!!
"No heat without a flame" Classic Bad Co.
Brian Howe was the man. The perfect fit. Still rocking out to this today
The Brian Howe era ROCKED!!!
And this song was the best of the Howe era!
Absolutely !!! loved the Howe era ... Some kick-ass tunes !!!
saw them at busch gardens
I saw them on the holy water tour in 1990 in Atlanta with damn Yankees opening
@@thomassealy320 I saw them on the same tour in Chicago in 1990!
Sadly, Brian Howe just died yesterday. He was 66.
Gotta love 80s Bad Co. Please, please come back. These youngins know nothing about good music.
agreed
you can't beat the Paul Rodgers era of bad company
true
right on!

ROCK n ROLL IS GOLD
I love this song! I haven't heard it for years until now!
2013 and I still rock this one... like Steven Tyler always said back then, " The train kept a rollin' all night long of rock n' roll, which you cannot kill, it will live forever, its here again" Rock of the 80's fuels my core, I am bound to it. Bad company with Brian Howe was good stuff, Paul Rodgers BC was and is legendary.
The vibe that comes from this tune is just phenomenal
I grew up with classic Rock! The music in today's world? Got no meaning! Classic Rock keep on Rocking!)0(
absolutely love 80s and 90s classic rock
Yeah, I grew up in the 80s with Howe & Bad Company. I still love listening to the Paul Rodgers Bad Company, though. Great stuff.
R.I.P. BRIAN HOWE! WHAT A VOICE, ONE OF THE BEST!
Bad Company truly has the sound!
I remember being 7 and hearing this for the first time...a music aficionado was born that day
Thank You Simon Kirk for all the years of drumming for Bad Co.
Today's artists could take a lesson in awesome
OMG! I didn't hear anything about this until now. RIP: Brian Howe, a great singer and songwriter! I absolutely loved his albums with Bad Company.
Great song and I could watch this girl dance forever
Seen Bad Company & Triumph back in the day WOW what a show. so glad i was born in the 60s
Brian Howe is AMAZING! All of these songs CRANK!!! I love Paul but Brian is a powerhouse singer. Also listen to the drums on this. Who engineered and produced it? It's all layered and sits quite well. The drums are tight crisp. Really good stuff. Sounds like some that could have been in Studio B at Ocean Way but probably England?

great voice, to bad for BAD COMPANY they didn"t cut more albums with howe
They released four albums with him. The first one completely sucks (pressured by Atlantic to put out something pop sounding). This was the 2nd and the next two were also pretty good. Holy Water (the 3rd) sold the most.
+sdmestayer the original members said it really wasn't the same without Paul Rodgers and they just ended it
after 6 albums they decided lol
Not true.
Brian Howe is a fuckin badass 🤘🤘
Great Song! Don't know how I missed it. I go way back with Bad Company.
new lead singer.......Paul Rodgers went to sing for Queen
R.I.P. Brian Howe . We loved your work.
one helluva vocalist,distinctive sound saw both singers live,PAUL AND BRIAN took the stage and there was rock,RIP BRIAN
RIP Brian! My dad would always blast this song while I was growing up!
Bad Company in the 'Foreigner mode'...such a great laid-back hard rock tune...listening while driving to the college along with Winger "Can't Get Enuff", Damn Yankees "Come Again", Giant "I See You In My Dreams", Black Crows "Twice As Hard", Ratt "Loving You's A Dirty Job"...Djane Liz Hanson from C-Rock "Six...six in a row...on C 98..."
Very first concert we saw was BAD COMPANY and they kicked ass : B
BAD COMPANY !! ALL THE WAY
One of my fave songs....that voice
They are both amazingly gifted vocalists ............... God bless them both .
great SONG AND AWESOME LYRICS!!!
As much as I love the Paul Rodger era, I have to admit I was drawn more into the Brian Howe Bad Company era. Catchier songs.
WTF THIS IS BAD ASS
Bad Company....PLEASE tour New Zealand.{Beautiful Country} PLEASE!!!
now that's how you write a Rock song.
Great song, great voice will miss you Brian Howe RIP🙏😢
There’s no love without desire
❤Brian Howe kills it!GREAT vocalist&songwriter The band sounds amazing,too!❤Producer took some cues from the genius,Mutt Lange
Brian Howe -- Rest in Peace.
No smoke without a fire ...just kicks!!

One of the greatest singers. RIP Brian
A great song Brian Howell has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart good song writer bad company rocks I love you Brian Howell RIP 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
Cool song with heavy riffs, love it.
R.I.P. BRIAN HOWE
I agree with Sam Wicker.. rock music of today doesn't come close to Rock n Roll from the 70 and 80's. I miss it terribly :(
Youre not the only one who thinks like this. Right with ya bro...
I have been a Bad Company fan for as long as I can remember. When Rogers left the band I quit buying their albums. Damnit I see now what I missed! He's no Paul Rogers but he's damn good!!!
He is as good as Rodgers. Just different.
Bad Company treated Brian Howe like a BOOK WITH A PAGE TORN OUT.
Brian Howe was a Great replacement for Paul Rogers
But Paul Rogers came back after bruan Howe left
Totally DISAGREE ! He could replace Sammy Hagar but not Paul Rodgers!
@@deliciabeaty4650 No one can replace Paul Rogers. The best rock singer of all time. However I did like this song.
Bad Company did much better with Brian in the 80's. Paul was still in the 70's style musicc. Brian took them into current at the time. He also had a better voice than Paul. Much stronger.

Bloody excellent to be hearing and seeing this again got on vinyl somewhere forget about what great music I still have /,,/
Those power chords are fat! Love it.

awsome singer. i cant think of a better voice from the late 80's early 90's
This song rocks no matter how old it is!!!!
Who cares who's better both them put out way better music then 90% of the garbage they release today.
