      I'm with you. RRHOF lost all credibility years go. In my opinion and the opinion of many of his peers Paul Rodgers one of the very best
      Vocalist of the rock and roll era. Simon Kirke , Mick Ralphs....under recognized for their talents and under appreciated by many. At the end of the day, Bad Company is in my HOF!

    I think you guys completely missed the point of the song. It's warning about the dangers of stardom. Johnny rocketed to stardom and then his star came crashing down just as quickly. The third verse implies that Johnny took his own life or he accidentally OD'd. "Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head". He died via a mixture of drugs and alcohol. The pressures of fame got to him.

    This song was partly inspired by Jim Morrison quote "“I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up, and gasps ‘Oh look at that!’ Then-whoosh, and I’m gone…and they’ll never see anything like it ever again… and they won’t be able to forget me-ever.” Paul Rogers said he wanted to keep the name neutral for all the singer that died to early .

    This one always touches my heart when I hear it. The way they sing "Don't you know..." is tender and emotional. Almost feels like gospel music. And the ending, of course, is tragic and sadly far too common among celebrities. It's a good warning for up-and-comers in that world...don't tie up your self-worth in how "successful" or "famous" you are. Such things are usually fleeting. Let something else define you, like your happiness with your art. Or your kindness, what you've done for friends and family, etc.

Dated a musician back in my young days who loved this song. One night he was walking home from a gig and got jumped by some neo-nazi group.

      One of the many bands from that era that are ignored by the RHOF while they add newer non-rock singers. It's a shame they don't understand what a hall of fame should be.

      It’s criminal that Bad Company is not in the RRHOF, and I believe that it compounds the crime when they induct people like Dolly Parton. I love Dolly, but she’s as country as a turnip green! There is nothing even remotely rock-n-roll about her, NOT AT ALL.

    After all of the greats have fallen to time, their spirits live on in their music. If you have the time to listen you can still hear them all. How many times have you thought that you heard gentle music come from smoke from a campfire? All of their songs live on inside us.

    "Seagull". It's a softer song for Bad Company, but you'll be very glad you had the pleasure of hearing it. It's a great example of Paul Rodger's vocal range and it is a flat out beautiful song.

    Paul Rodgers is one of the best voices in all of rock music. From his first group Free, with their hit All Right Now (there is an official live version of this song. Absolutely epic!). I saw his second band, Bad Company in 1976 at the San Diego Sports Arena. The best concert I ever saw. The crowd went insane, and they had to do 3 more ohn curs! Later band The Firm, he was approached to be lead singer of Deep Purple and Black Sabath. He did replace Freddie Mercury in Queen. John Mellencamp called Rodgers "the best rock singer ever"

  • @jonathangeraldrobinson720
    @jonathangeraldrobinson720 Před 2 lety +12

    My favorite band of all time. Bad Company was a super group comprised of members who had all been in successful bands before. Vocalist Paul Rodgers and the woefully underrated drummer Simon Kirke had been in Free (remember "All Right Now"?). Lead guitarist Mick Ralphs had been in Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell had been in King Crimson, both successful bands in the UK. This song is oddly prescient. Released in 1975, it inadvertently foretold the death of Rodgers' and Kirke's former Free bandmate, guitarist Paul Kossoff a few months later.
    Pleeease do "Silver, Blue, and Gold." I think it's their best song.

    Ive heard this song a million times through the years and it just dawned on me that Johnny's death was a choice by liquor and pills and not an accident. I think because I always heard this as a kid , the idea of someone choosing to take their own life was unthinkable to me. As an adult for many years now and having have lost many people to suicide through the years it hits me and makes this song a bit darker but also more poignant in its emphasis on the positives on Johnny's lIfe. Sorry for the long sentiment here but just had to talk it out. Suicide is and can be such a horrible thing in this world.

    Bad Company is widely considered the first Rock and Roll Supergroup. Singer Paul Rogers from Free, Guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople, Drummer Simone Kirke from Free, and Boz Burrell the bassist from King Crimson came together and really changed the music scene at the time. No one had ever taken the best parts from several groups and combined them. As someone else said, it is truly criminal that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Personally, I believe if they hadn't broken up in 1982, they probably would have been there by now. After 82 they had several group changes and a lot of hiatus periods that kind of muddied the waters on their legacy. That being said, when they brought Brian Howe in to replace Paul Rogers in the 90s, they were right back to form!
    A lot of other songs from the classic era have been suggested. I'd like to add a few from the Brian Howe era. "If You Needed Somebody" is amazing. As is "Boys Cry Tough" and "Holy Water." You should definitely check them out!

  • @db4982
