Paul is in the top 5 of best rock vocalists ever! A lot of people that hear them for the first time think that they're southern rock, but no. You'll fall in love with just about any BadCo song.
For decades I swore they were a Southern Rock band, and it just blew my mind when I learned they were from the UK, and had reformed from the band FREE (“All Right Now”) which was the band Ronnie Van Zandt was said to have been really inspired by to go on and form Lynyrd Skynyrd.
This randy rocker was written by Mott The Hoople guitarist Mick Ralphs, who also sang lead on the track. When the band split up, Ralphs brought the song to his new group, Bad Company, who included it on their first album, this time with their vocalist Paul Rodgers singing lead. The album took off, going to #1 in a number of territories, thanks in large part to two other songs Ralphs brought to the group that were not recorded by Mott: "Can't Get Enough" and "Movin' On." The Bad Company version of "Ready For Love" became much more popular than the original. Source: Songfacts
They don't call Paul Roger's "The Voice" for nothing and he does the keyboard solo also. She knows it. Look at her face on the first OOOO's she is ready for his love!
This was my High School band. Paul Rogers on vocals ( the best) ,Mick Ralphs guitar Simon Kirk Drums & Boz Burrell on bass. Paul & Simon came from the band Free, Mick came form Mott the Hopple & Boz from King Crimson. A VERY DEEP RABBIT HOLE
Paul Rodgers was always heavy into blues. He did a solo album of just Muddy Waters covers with iconic guitarists like Jeff Beck, Brian May, David Gilmour…
Haunting melody and arrangement. The lyrics speak to those who've suffered the loss of a partner through one of the two Big D's, divorce or death, and are finally ready to start again. To love again. Ready for love, if you will. This song is low-key one of the most touching songs in the rock genre. For some, it was necessary. 💑 Original version by Mott the Hoople, but a superb cover here.
Everything about this song is right... voice, guitar, bass, drums, panio... all of it, everyone adds their stuff without ever overshadowing each other. Amazing song I never get tired of listening to.
Bad Company was (I believe) the first band signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label... I was happy to have seen this performed live a few years back. This is my favorite B.C. song, so smooth.
The very best version (amongst several great live versions) of this song is from their reunion at Hard Rock Live about 15 years ago, it was the best I ever heard them play that end of tune jam and I saw them 5 or 6 times, that version is that good, hear it for yourselves sometime and watch the video to see what I mean. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Wife here...Grew up with these guys.., Such an Awesome Classic Rock band...This song is in my top 3 from them....Sooo Cool to see you both appreciating this Amazing Jam..That piano is sooo well placed..BJ's found him a rise and shine anthem!!
My first concert ever was Skynyrd and Bad Company. I was in the 3rd grade. Parents took me with them. Developed my love for live music. Nashville at Starwood Amphitheater
Thanks for posting this. Asia, your comment about blues is spot on, because Paul Rodgers is heavily influenced by the blues artists who came before. In my view, the greatest rock vocalist in the pantheon.
Bad Company are one of the great English rock supergroups who've been around since the 70's. They have so many great songs such as "Can't Get Enough", "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", "Shooting Star", "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy" etc.
Heard these guys live a few years ago when they opened for a James Gang reunion concert in Cleveland and they still sounded the same powerful with those smooth, expressive vocals.
Lead singer Paul Rodgers collaborated with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in 1984/1985 as The Firm, with Chris Slade and Tony Franklin. Their song, Radioactive, has always been a favorite of mine. It is quite a short song, but great, nonetheless.
Bad Company singer, pianist Paul Rodgers also sang in Free before Bad Company and The Firm (with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page) and with Queen after Bad Company. Bad Company was very much influenced by the blues. Paul Rodgers did a tribute album to Muddy Waters. I got to see him on that tour with the Steve Miller Band in 1993. Great show. They even jammed together.
Seriously people. It’s surprising how much of a buzz it is to see a person/s enjoying a song that had given me the exact same feeling that you’re both getting now. Music is the universal language and leveller. Cohesion in the hearing….. Love the channel. Peace❤
I know I'm watching this about 15 hours later, but I have to say no truer words have been spoken by Asia "Bad Company is the real deal". Rock Steady off the same album is excellent also.
Paul Rodgers...the voice for Bad Company, Free, The Firm w Jimmy Page, Queen, various solo projects as well. The older this man gets the better he sounds. I've seen him in concert two or three times.
We all know that Bad Company formed out of the band "Free" after Paul Kossof died. After that they reformed and became a bit more commercial without forgetting their blues-rock roots. Unfortunately, as a result, they often stopped and changed the band. after the death of Boz Burrell nothing worth mentioning happened so that apart from minor activities nothing happened. It`s too bad but "Free" and "B.C" live on in our listening rooms. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
Son you better watch it. The old saying “happy wife happy life” is true. Take it from an old man on his 3rd marriage 😂. When you get older you’ll know it’s cheaper to make her happy. 😂😂😂😂😂 I love you guys. Keep it up.
Paul is unmistakably underrated in my book…but my second favorite song beside Bad company off the first album. So amazing! 70s for sure and still not dated
So glad to see people who've never heard this song finding it Damn, it's just so good! Great reaction guys. Now, do Give me your love by the Baby's. Same kind of a*s kickin' groove.
This song was actually written by Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs and sung by him originally when he was in Mott The Hoople before Bad Company. Ralphs and Rodgers and the rest of Bad Company were all heavily influenced by the blues.
I'm 54, and I love many Bad Company songs. It surprised me a bit when I found out they originated from England. This band will always have a vibe with Harley riders!
One thing about this music I feel everyone your reaction to it let's me not worry about the hate being pushed everywhere else love your shows very helpful thank you
Sometimes the very end of your reactions (especially when Asia gets BJ to blush a bit) are just the highlight! Another fabulously entertaining reaction by you 2!
Bad Company I 70's Rock & Roll. Generally all Rock music is Blues based. Period. Go to some earlier sounds from Paul Rodgers when he was the lead singer for the band "FREE" I'm The Stealer!
Paul Rodgers on the soulful rock vocals and keys. Magnificent singer and writer.
I just can't say enough as to how great Free & Bad Company are
Bad company and Foreigner have dozens of great songs (each) and
NOT in the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame , yet. They definitely both deserve it ASAP
They sure should
I can't believe that neither band hasn't been inducted into the rock and roll Hall of Fame... That's a travesty
Paul Rodgers and bad company are not in the r&r hall of Fame??
Paul is in the top 5 of best rock vocalists ever! A lot of people that hear them for the first time think that they're southern rock, but no. You'll fall in love with just about any BadCo song.
Wife here..I definitely thought sooo..my Husband swiftly corrected me..😊
I would rate Elvis Presley 1 Robert Plant 2 Freddy Mercery 3
@@theodoreritola7641 even Elvis said Roy Orbison is #1 . But yes Paul is definitely in the top 5 .
For decades I swore they were a Southern Rock band, and it just blew my mind when I learned they were from the UK, and had reformed from the band FREE (“All Right Now”) which was the band Ronnie Van Zandt was said to have been really inspired by to go on and form Lynyrd Skynyrd.
😢no....he's THE best
Paul Rogers!! His voice is velvet. To see him perform live is a must experience.
It is, saw Bad Co back in 1974 supporting The Who.
Paul Rogers had that soulful and bluesy voice. Few singers could pull it off the way he did.

Mott the Hoople, takes me back to high school, lol
All the young dudes was actually written by David Bowie
Asia & BJ, you’ll love their "Can't Get Enough" and "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy"!!
Electric Land! NOBODY gives this song the love it deserves.
They don't call Paul Roger's "The Voice" for nothing and he does the keyboard solo also. She knows it. Look at her face on the first OOOO's she is ready for his love!
Bad Company was the first rock concert I ever seen in 1979 when I was 17. Such a good show.
This was my High School band. Paul Rogers on vocals ( the best) ,Mick Ralphs guitar Simon Kirk Drums & Boz Burrell on bass. Paul & Simon came from the band Free, Mick came form Mott the Hopple & Boz from King Crimson. A VERY DEEP RABBIT HOLE
As I approach my 65 year .. one of those songs that take me instantly back to a specific time and place ...
Same...😉🎙🎶
Reminds me of whiskey and smoke on a cold Sunday afternoon in the late 70s riding around with my friends.
Silver, Blue and Gold and Don't Let me Down ard two of my favorite Bad Company songs. I would be over the moon if you guys would react to them!!!!
Silver, Blue and Gold is such a beautiful song. I've loved it since I was a teenager. Please react to this classic!
I had to Google and listen to Don't Let Me Down just now. I swear I got goose bumps! If you have never heard it...you are missing one great song!
One of my favorite bands, I think Bad Company is so underrated, so many great songs.
My favorite band! Love it! Great reaction!
Rock on!
Paul Rodgers was always heavy into blues. He did a solo album of just Muddy Waters covers with iconic guitarists like Jeff Beck, Brian May, David Gilmour…
I have thst album and it needs to be listened to! Paul Rogers at his best!
I’ve always was a Bad Company fan, I grew up listening to their music, the lead vocals are dope and the music is a jam
One of the greatest voices in rock Paul Rodgers
Love Paul Rodgers voice. He has such a beautiful voice 😍
A freakin' Masterpiece. Great band, Great song.
Haunting melody and arrangement. The lyrics speak to those who've suffered the loss of a partner through one of the two Big D's, divorce or death, and are finally ready to start again. To love again. Ready for love, if you will. This song is low-key one of the most touching songs in the rock genre. For some, it was necessary. 💑 Original version by Mott the Hoople, but a superb cover here.
Mick Ralphs (guitarist here) wrote and sang it for MTH.
Everything about this song is right... voice, guitar, bass, drums, panio... all of it, everyone adds their stuff without ever overshadowing each other. Amazing song I never get tired of listening to.
Amother, Bad Co. classic...Feel Like Makin' Love. Now, that tune will defintely put anybody in the mood😉
Bad Company was (I believe) the first band signed to Led Zeppelin's Swan Song label... I was happy to have seen this performed live a few years back. This is my favorite B.C. song, so smooth.
I'm only 40 and BAD COMPANY is my All time #1 favorite band 🏆🎖🥇Absolutely love these guys!
The singer Paul Rodgers was in 5 bands.including Queen.one of my favorite rock singers.
Guys you picked an awesome song by an awesome band!!! Paul Rogers vocals are just awesome!!!
The greatest decade of music The 70's........ Undeniable!
Don’t Let Me Down is a slow blues ballad with a great saxophone 🎷 solo. I think that’s the next Bad Co. song you need to do.
The very best version (amongst several great live versions) of this song is from their reunion at Hard Rock Live about 15 years ago, it was the best I ever heard them play that end of tune jam and I saw them 5 or 6 times, that version is that good, hear it for yourselves sometime and watch the video to see what I mean.

Always in the mood for some Bad Co. They have so many excellent songs. Rock n Roll Fantasy..... SILVER, BLUE & GOLD......too many to list.
Paul Rodgers NEVER hits an incorrect note. He also sang for the band Free ....and he sang for Queen on live tours in the 90s/00s
My first concert ever was Skynyrd and Bad Company. I was in the 3rd grade. Parents took me with them. Developed my love for live music. Nashville at Starwood Amphitheater
one of their Best songs!!!

Great Reaction! As Asia put it Bad Co is the real deal another one for the play list.
Heard these guys live a few years ago when they opened for a James Gang reunion concert in Cleveland and they still sounded the same powerful with those smooth, expressive vocals.
SOOO happy I grew up during the greatest music era... when stellar songs like this were regular airplay on the radio. ;-)
Lead singer Paul Rodgers collaborated with Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in 1984/1985 as The Firm, with Chris Slade and Tony Franklin. Their song, Radioactive, has always been a favorite of mine. It is quite a short song, but great, nonetheless.
My favorite band of all time any song anytime
When Asia says “They the Real Deal” you know she digs her some Bad Company and I can’t deny.

You guy’s are on roll this evening ,a band from my teens 💕
Ya'll are hilarious! Great song, great reaction. And a very soulful piece of music making from Bad Company...
First time here.
I'm giggling & loving your reaction.
What a beautiful couple.
Lucky girl!!!

Rock came from blues and the catch phrase in the 70's was definitely GROOVY-! LOL

There is a reason this song from this first Bad Company album is great. They won Best New Artist Grammy for 1975 for this album and it shows
Paul Rodgers is called "THE VOICE," he still sounded like this a few years ago, G.O.A.T!
Brings back so many memories of my teens!!
Saw them play Boston either 1980 or 1981...new years Eve
Fanfuckintastic
The entire album is fire
Check out song - bad company
Or seagull
My first concert was Bad Company in the late 80’s!
You guys are amazing!!! I saw bad company in 1976 with Styx opening up. Fantastic show!!!!! Bad company were amazing. 😀
This was a great band! So many great songs!
Bad Company is a great band with many great songs. You won't be sorry for going down that rabbit hole.
Son you better watch it. The old saying “happy wife happy life” is true. Take it from an old man on his 3rd marriage 😂. When you get older you’ll know it’s cheaper to make her happy.
😂😂😂😂😂
I love you guys. Keep it up.
Killer drum riff...one of the best bands of the 70s!
Bad co. drumming always on point.
The slow "Mo Jo". Got to love it! Great reaction as always!

One of my all time favorite Bad Company songs ❤
Paul is unmistakably underrated in my book…but my second favorite song beside Bad company off the first album. So amazing! 70s for sure and still not dated
So glad to see people who've never heard this song finding it Damn, it's just so good!
Great reaction guys.
Now, do Give me your love by the Baby's.

Bad company are badass. Asia and bj also rock!
This song was actually written by Bad Company guitarist Mick Ralphs and sung by him originally when he was in Mott The Hoople before Bad Company. Ralphs and Rodgers and the rest of Bad Company were all heavily influenced by the blues.
I'm 54, and I love many Bad Company songs. It surprised me a bit when I found out they originated from England. This band will always have a vibe with Harley riders!
Asia nailed it, it’s considered bluesy rock
One thing about this music I feel everyone your reaction to it let's me not worry about the hate being pushed everywhere else love your shows very helpful thank you
This is a jam..many babies made from this song. Another great jam is Miracles by Jefferson Starship.
It IS blues!
Thats why it feels like blues.
Cheers!
You'd likely enjoy Bad Co.'s Silver, Blue, & Gold 👍
Awesome vocalist,Have you heard him the band ,Free,,You must have heard ,,Alright Now,,big hit song in the 70s
The rumor back in the day was Paul was Jimmy Paige's brother bad company was the only other ban on Swan song records Led Zeppelin's label
Best concert I went to. '80
Paul Rodgers is such a great singer. Check him out in Free also. Now performing with Queen🔥
This is what you call Rock and Roll

A great Bad Company song. I guess with that chorus he's ready for love.😆
A great song from a great band. More please?
When Bad Company broke up The singer went and formed a band called The Firm, also a good choice
Just need the song Rock Steady to hit another BadCo banger. You guys helping keep the past alive and see why it was relevant.
Sometimes the very end of your reactions (especially when Asia gets BJ to blush a bit) are just the highlight! Another fabulously entertaining reaction by you 2!
One of the great bands of the 70s and 80s
Love this Bad Company tune ♥️
Bad Company 😎👍 Great reaction!
Love this British band.
Simon Kirke's drumming is impeccable and so musical. Tasty.
BAD COMPANY, SHOOTING STAR. Hope ya see this!
Bad Company I 70's Rock & Roll. Generally all Rock music is Blues based. Period.
Go to some earlier sounds from Paul Rodgers when he was the lead singer for the band "FREE"
I'm The Stealer!
You can always tell when Asia approves. You blush☺
I believe this was Bad Company’s first radio hit.
Can't Get Enough.
