    What an underrated gem. Most bands have a song about the loneliness of the road and impact on relationships, but most are sappy and lame. You can really hear the desperation and anger in Lou’s voice that really captures the feeling.

    Lou Gramm shined his best while performing with Foreigner although his first 2 Solo Albums were also great albums since he had already established himself with Foreigner. His last Solo Album 'The Lou Gramm Band' from 2009 is basically a Christian album. He did 2 Albums with Black Sheep I believe, 1 with Poor Heart + A Best of which mostly consisted of earlier recordings of Lou and then 1 with Shadow King. Overall though, a fantastic singer and I was glad to have seen him in concert in his heyday.

      Other then Lou ,Ian the original backbone of Foreigner. F4 is a great album even though Ian or Al were not involved in the recording, but after 4 the band wasn’t the same.

    • @waltersimmons946
      @waltersimmons946 Год назад +4

      @dan w According to Lous book "JUKE BOX HERO, my 5 decades in Rock n Roll," Ian and AL were let go in September 1980, and they actually were in the beginning stages of working on the 4 album . The problem was Ian and AL really wanted to get more songs 🎵 on Foreigner albums, but according to Lou speaking to John Beaudin on Rock History last August referring to his rejected song ideas by Mick 👉 Lou said "Mick was not the only person in that band who had talent, if Mick didn't write the song, he didn't want to be bothered with it" and as you know that led to Lous solo albums READY OR NOT and LONG HARD LOOK. Mick rejected Midnight Blue when Lou presented it to the band. Mick said "It wasn't a good song" Lou puts together a solo band , makes demos while Foreigner is on a 6 months hiatus in 1986. Well , February 1987 comes Midnight Blue hits the airwaves and charts at #5 on Billboard and was the most requested/listened to song 🎵 in America that year and guess who got pissed off and embarrassed? Yep, Mick Jones . He actually tried to get ATLANTIC RECORDS their label to not promote Lous album. But that failed . Lou still currently blames Mick for the plug being pulled on Shadow King and Lou is still mad about the royalty ratio crap Mick did on "I want to know what love is " These guys are still not friends. Foreigner was purely "business".

    These pop TV shows all required the artists to lip sync to the recorded tracks. This was no different. Ian McDonald felt that "Head Games" was rushed into release by their label. Where they used to have a month or two to clean up their songs and their mix, Head Games only had a few weeks. Hence the reduction in the group count to "speed up" the creativity for "4".

    Still, this is an awesome tune. Just like Lou Gramm, definitely underrated. My favorite cut on this album by my favorite band.
    Gramm/Jones unmatched as a songwriting collaboration, also.

Had the privilege to see them live in concert back in the 80's at Seattle's Colisseum and then in the late 2000 in Mexico City with Lou barely singing. Foreigner is tied to my musical memories from my youth, from 78 to 85 along with other great bands of thar era...
