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.
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🍻🍺🍺 😎🤙
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.
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.
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 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!!
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.
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.
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!!
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 🐢
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.
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.
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?
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..."
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!!! ✊️✊️👊👊
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.

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
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!!!
![Great White - 'Stick It' [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yQ7e9pL-v1U/mqdefault.jpg)
Even though Paul Rogers is the true voice of Badco, the Brian Howe era cannot be underestimated.
Голос Брайана супер как и Лу Грамм

Passed away yesterday.
One of the best

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🍻🍺🍺 😎🤙
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.
We need music like this again. People would be so much happier. This is real rock music.
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!
One of my favorite Bad Company songs ever!
Holy water.... bad company .
No smoke with a fire in that order lol party hard
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.
Paul Rogers is a Legend! But, I saw Bad Company with Brian Howe and they Kicked Ass!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
Whose blazing away to this kick ass tune August 20 2022 ..EXTREME VOLUME NEEDED ...LET THE NEIGHBORS ENJOY IT TOO
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!
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.
Talk about a band hitting the lotto twice. Two incredible great vocalists. Crazy good
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!
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!!
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!

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.
Thank You Simon Kirk for all the years of drumming for Bad Co.
brian howe nailed many bad co tunes and deserves big props.
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!
sam wicker
ROCK n ROLL IS GOLD
I saw them in the eighties, they was jamming, in 2013 they still Got It... BWright
Never considered this true Bad Co, but this guy was a hell of a singer.
Just read online that Brian Howe has passed away at 66. Rest in peace, Brian.
I love this song! I haven't heard it for years until now!
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 🤘🤘
absolutely love 80s and 90s classic rock
Brian Howe was the man. The perfect fit. Still rocking out to this today
Remember stealing this tape when it came out. Good shit!
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.
Who would of thought music like this would become a thing of the past? What a shame.
Aguante el hard rock de los 80 ❤🤘😈🧛🤘💯
"No heat without a flame" Classic Bad Co.
Bad Company truly has the sound!
Yeah, I grew up in the 80s with Howe & Bad Company. I still love listening to the Paul Rodgers Bad Company, though. Great stuff.
My favorite bad company song. R.I.P. Brian Howe.
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.
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!
Great song and I could watch this girl dance forever
The vibe that comes from this tune is just phenomenal
Seen Bad Company & Triumph back in the day WOW what a show. so glad i was born in the 60s
R.I.P. BRIAN HOWE! WHAT A VOICE, ONE OF THE BEST!
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.
One of my fave songs....that voice
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
Too Bad BAD CO won't play these songs with Paul R. They should be PROUD to have them in their List, GREAT SONGS!!!
one helluva vocalist,distinctive sound saw both singers live,PAUL AND BRIAN took the stage and there was rock,RIP BRIAN
Getting huge vibes from the late 80's band Giant in this one, which is good thing and a huge compliment
the best era of BC...no question.
Very first concert we saw was BAD COMPANY and they kicked ass : B
I remember being 7 and hearing this for the first time...a music aficionado was born that day
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
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?

Fantastic songs I love Brian’s vocals
RIP Brian! My dad would always blast this song while I was growing up!
They are both amazingly gifted vocalists ............... God bless them both .
R.I.P. Brian Howe . We loved your work.
I grew up with classic Rock! The music in today's world? Got no meaning! Classic Rock keep on Rocking!)0(
Howe best powerful vocal !!!! Forever!
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!!! ✊️✊️👊👊
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!
Brian Howe -- Rest in Peace.
No smoke without a fire ...just kicks!!

Great song, great voice will miss you Brian Howe RIP🙏😢
This Has that eighties sound very different from the 70 s Sound of the original lineup
There’s no love without desire
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.
Sadly, Brian Howe just died yesterday. He was 66.
One of my faves from 'em... sexy groove!
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.

He is as good as Rodgers. Just different.
total badassery
Youre not the only one who thinks like this. Right with ya bro...
BAD COMPANY✌️. 60s 70s 80s.+. Cool. Some Decent Sounds. Maghull. Liverpool. England.💜💙❤️

BAD COMPANY 1 OF MY FAVORITE BANDS! U GUYS ROCK😎🤗😇😲☻😼👍👀👅💚
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 :(
howe era is when bad co really kick ass ...full of energy ...howe 's powerfull voice really rock u all
