Bad Company

And here's a tidbit that I think is really cool.

Paul Rogers has stated publicly that Kossoff was his favorite guitarist to play with, which is high praise considering Rogers was in later bands with Jimmy Page, the firm, and Milk Ralphs, who was Bad Company.

Of course.

I mean, that's amazing what he thought of Kossoff.

After the breakup, Frazier formed the band Sharks.

Paul Kossoff went on with his new band Backstreet Crawler.

And Paul Rogers and Simon Kirk, of course, performed Bad Company.

So now it's time, really, to play some of their songs.

Oh my God, I thought it was Red.

Did you just play them like, hey, do you know the song Bad Company by Bad Company? Well, here it is louder and harder.

On the album Bad

Company? I tried that.

There's a lot of great drums.

I like Simon Kirk from Bad Company.

I like the drummer of Humble Pie.

The drummer from Humble Pie is a DJ in Cleveland now.

So what is it that keeps bringing the two of you back together and how has that working relationship kind of changed over the years?

Well, Ron, again, he was a hero of mine, you know, from his work with Bad Company and Led Zeppelin and Nobody Big, you know.

And when we got to work with him, we realized why.

You know, he's amazingly musical.

All right, before we get to the coveted number one spot, I've got an honorable mention, and it's a 70s band that came back in a big way in the 90s.

Talking about Bad Company, the biggest hit of the 90s, if you needed somebody.

Now by this time, critics had completely written off Bad Company as a faded arena act, especially after Paul Rodgers left.

But producer Terry Thomas and the singer Brian Howe, the new one, helped rebuild the band's sound.

Lonely Hole became their biggest hit ever on the rock charts, going to number two.

They finished the song before they had breakfast.

If you needed somebody dominated AOR and Top 40 radio and approved a 70s band could thrive in the 90s, even without their original lead singer, Paul Rogers.

I mean, that's just crazy to me that this Brian Howe guy comes in, puts Bad Company back on the map.
