Your next song should be burning sky
@@danielshanks5636 GREAT CHOICE!!!
The line that always gets me is Johnny’s life passed him by like a warm summer day, hard not to be moved by that. Couldn’t agree more
Paul is great. So many bands and still sang perfect for each.
Possible tears, Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast, Patches, Honey, or Daisy A Day might do the trick.
"If you listen to The Wind (Cries Mary), you can still hear him play".....🎸
Can't go wrong with Bad Company, so many great songs.
Bad company is a awsome band
One of the best voices in the rock world, then, now, and forever.
Ive never seen a singer more praised by other singers.
Okay, I can make both of you cry with one song. It's called Sam Stone, and it's written and performed by John Prine. The most profoundly sad song I've ever listened to...over and over again, because it's also a very beautifully written and performed song.
RIP prine😢
Definitely one of my all-time faves.
Paul Rogers gave Peter Frampton vocal lessons before he had gotten really huge with "Frampton Comes Alive !"
Paul Rodgers had perfect pitch and did most recording sessions in one take.
I only shed tears to a few songs, but John Denver does it every time i listen to "Sunshine On My Shoulders".
Just off the top of my head! Jimmy Hendrix jim morison! Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, whitney Huston! and many more whose star never got to shine at all ! A shooting is gone in a split second! But their music will last a lifetime and longer! We have all been a part of the greatest musical generation the world has ever seen!🎶🎶🌎🎶🎶...❤
Paul Rodgers is the definition of rock with soul! Bad Co. is an extraordinary great band that should have been inducted in the Hall of Fame years ago! Brian Howe took over vocals for a while,and they still were great!
THANK YOU for mentioning Brian Howe. Yes, we all know Paul is on the Mt. Rushmore of singers, but Brian was awesome as well.
@@MarioCrosby Yes he is most certainly awesome as well! You couldn't help but realize you were hearing Bad Co. with either one.Holy Water happens to be my favorite with Brian on vocals.
If it wasn't for Bad Company, I might have never been born. In the late 70s, my mom and dad were in high school, seeing each other. They went to different schools. My grandma who just passed (8-11-23) didn't think too highly of my dad: loud rock music, long hair, rebellious. My mom and dad split up for a while. A Bad Company concert came along and my dad with his best friend were going to meet some girls. My mom told my grandma it was a Donnie Osmond concert because she didn't like rock music. My dad's buddy spotted my mom and said to my dad, you won't believe who is here. He saw my mom, the other ladies became a thing of the past and the rest is history. They were married in Jan 1981, I was born Nov 1980. I always give thanks to Bad Company for that show. How ironic is it that my last name is Rogers, also. Different spelling than Bad Company lead singer but still, amazing coincidence.
That's a great story! ❤❤❤
Many of us "old Time rockers" still believe Paul Rodgers had the "perfect" rock and roll voice...love your channel immensely, always looking forward to your next reactions, I spent 30 plus years in broadcast radio, primarily jocking classic rock, My era of music, so I enjoy watching your channel...Rock ON!!!
I am with you.
Back before they all started trying to sing like whiny f*****s.
I remember seeing them just after Paul Kossoff’s death Paul sang this with grim emotion awesome
Bad Company: Feel Like makin' Love; Rock and Roll Fantasy; Can't Get Enough; Ready For Love; Run With the Pack
Good Lovin' Gone Bad
Thanks guys, I forgot how much I love this song. Spotify here I come.😂
You need to introduce Alexis to Paul Rogers original band "Free" with the Great Paul Kossoff, his dear friend and his life was just as much influence on Shooting Star than any other person. Play her the live Fairfield Hall 1970 song "Fire and Water" Let Alexis see the influence of Paul Kossoff that can be found in the early Albums of Bad Company!
I live next to the cemetery Jimi is buried t and i play this song when i drive past him. People often play guitars at his memorial
Always get chills from this song. And a little teary eyed during the 3rd verse
Straight Shooter is one of my top 5 favorite albums and Deal With The Preacher and Wild Fire Woman are a couple of deep cuts on it that really rock. Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison, Bon Scott, Tommy Bolin are all what this song represents. Paul Rogers voice is so unique and identifiable and his work with Free and The Firm with Jimmy Page is great as well.
Had Straight Shooter and Bad Company on 8-track back in high school.
Started out the same way, I think it was "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for me in '64.
This and Rock N Roll Fantacy are my favorite songs from Bad Company
With these earlier releases the studio sound is so clean which really makes the music depend on the performers presentation.
Paul Rodgers was Freddie Mercury‘s favorite vocalist. As a matter of fact, I just ordered Queen return of the champions live on the CD from eBay. That’s where Paul Rogers went touring with Queen as their singer a few years ago.
Hard lessons in Rock n Roll.
Two things, first is I believe Paul Rogers said it was inspired by Jim Morrison but he wanted to use a different name so it could be anyone. A little proof is the 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."
Second is songs to make Alexis cry Eric Clapton "Tears in Heaven " with the back story. Jonny River "Memphis, Tennessee" and Kingston Trio version of " Season in the Sun" better than the Terry Jacks version.
One of rocks best singers, and sounds just as good today
I have listened to this song hundreds of times and it still makes this old hippy tear up!
Can't go wrong with any Paul Rodgers fronted band... just an all-time great rock voice...
You guys should definitely do more Bad Company, so many great songs. Ready for Love, Bad Company, Feel Like Makin Love, etc...
Now ya gotta do rock and roll fantasy. And burning sky. GREAT band!
Paul Rodgers actually sang vocals for Gary Rossingtons tribute show, after he died. Warren Haynes; Slash; and Billy Gibbons on guitar,. Chuck Leavell on keys, and Wynona and LeAnn Rimes were the Honkettes.
If you wanna hear Paul in his "proving ground" days...check out the band he was with before Bad Co...Free. Paul Kassoff was the guitarist, and Simon Kirk from Bad Co is on drums. Some REALLY GREAT MUSIC.
Great Band
Started as a side project. Ended up a Legendary Band.
My 2 Favorite Bad Company songs were written by Guitarist Mick Ralphs when he was in his Original Band Mott the Hoople
Can’t Get Enough
Ready For Love
Paul Rogers “The Voice” fortunate to see Bad Co. Saw The Firm with him singing. He could sing a phone book and it would be awesome. Do they have phone books anymore?
Southern comfort (whiskey) is what Janis and Jim Morrison were drinking a lot the last couple years of their life. Both had almost given up drugs completely for alcohol.
I was fortunate enough to see Paul Rogers front Queen in 2005 and then see Bad Company in 2007. Paul was awesome both times.
My favorite Bad Company song is “Silver, Blue & Gold”. I think you’ll like it, too!
Came out just before Paul Rodgers album on September 22nd great lead in guys
If I were to start a new band, I would absolutely want Paul Rodgers as lead singer.
I'll have to say, my all time favorite band! Bad Company bad company is my favorite song!
Bad company are great story tellers.
can't do BadCo without Can't Get Enough!
One of the greatest singers ever!!
Sabaton's tribute to Motorhead. "1916" official music video will make anyone cry.
Ready for Love, one of the best songs ever!!! Alexis you will love it
Since 5FDP was mentioned and crying was mentioned, here is one from them that will bring just about anyone to tears. Wrong Side of Heaven.
The guitar player in ''Free"his first big band. He also refrences all the ones you said.
Paul Rodgers sounds as incredible to date. When Brian Howe took over he was really good but as they say the original paves the road.
Seagull and Rock N Roll Fantasy are amazing.
Glad to see a few people here giving some love to Brian Howe.
@@MarioCrosby Brian Howe was fantastic. My all time favorite of his was IF YOU NEEDED SOMEBODY.
@tamerapagett6230 Mine's HOW ABOUT THAT. Just don't watch the video. They needed a do over. 😅😅
@@MarioCrosby I am such the music fanatic that I am sure I have seen it. Yes some of the vidoes for many artists are sadly not very good and do not represent the singer well.
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play.
Truth, still on the airwaves
great mid 70s song.
Bad Company belongs in the Hall of Fame
My favorite Bad Company tune. Nice reaction guys.
Bjørn was a schoolboy when he heard his first real song 😁😎🇧🇻 And i still have the Badco vinyl album 🤗
Bass line is a killer
Like Bad Company with Paul Rodgers but really became a fan when Brian Howe took over the vocals, his 4 albums with them are phenomenal, looking forward possibly to some Brian Howe era videos
Excellent, more people than I thought are mentioning and giving Brian Howe some props. Paul is one of the best, but Brian is excellent as well.
I've welcomed both incarnations of Bad Company. Holy Water is a brilliant album too.
We are all Shooting Stars. Here only for a brief moment in time. How bright will you shine?
Well said
Yep Father Time is undefeated.
Years back, maybe mid to late 80s, I heard someone describe Paul Rogers voice as "the sound of honey". I think of that every time I hear a Free or Bad Co song! Maybe after you react to one of their harder songs, you can swing back around to "Silver, Blue, and Gold"; ballad-like, but a good rock song!
Saw them in the early 90s in Santa Fe, NM. It was a super concert with Damn Yankees opening. Small venue, super crowd and awesome music!!
Great job with your two's reaction to my favorite song from Bad Company Shooting Star. Another song the Alexis the host might like from them is the song Felling like making love .
Would love to see Holy Water by Bad Company as well!
Ahh, had to Paul Rodgers era before we get to Brian Howe taking the helm. I love that track by the way.
@@flickeringboxofficial completely understandable! Paul is the best!
The song was more for Paul Kossoff. That was Paul and Simons guitar player in Free
As for songs that will make you cry: Warren Zevon: "Keep Me In Your Heart" I listened to it once and have never had the nerve to again because it left me a sobbing mess.
Silver,Blue and Gold is another good one
I second that.
The greatest rock voice in rock history.
Alright! More Bad Co. in the future! You guys are always interesting to listen to. Thanks for the entertainment.
I didn't read through all the comments, but if you watch the movie "Wonderland" from 2003 you may find yourself thinking of something very different (forever) after seeing the movie (which is a great film). And this is coming from someone who heard the song long before the film was ever released.
Don't understand the connection to Bad Company and the song, can you tell me please
Great song. Great band. One of the greatest lead singers in R&R history. I hear he still sounds good. I had every Bad Company album in the 70's. I bought Desolation Angels not too long before I moved away from my home town in 1980.
Another sort-of sad song from Bad Company is Silver, Blue and Gold. Beautiful melody and vocals.
Love this song. Top 10 songs for me. Paul Rodgers still sounds awesome.
Could have been about Tomm Bolin who died at 25 from heroin overdose. One of the best guitarists ever, Jeff Beck said Bolin inspired his style from that point on. Great song writer, guitarist & awesome vocals.
His 2 solo records are my favs, he replaced Blackmore in Deep Purple, & Joe Walsh in James Gang.
A staple of our era. Poor Johnnie.
man, it has been a long time since I heard this song.
Great song, Great Reaction, if you want to try and make Alexa cry try Steelheart - Mamma Don't You Cry,
Warrant - Stronger Now. Which is about when Janie's daughter didn't want anything to do with him, also Warrant - Let it Rain.. Such emotional songs and amazing song writing.
Great choices.
Oh, it's *that* song! 😀 One of the many songs I regularly hear on NZ's Rock radio stations but have no idea whom they're actually by! 😅 And Paul Rodgers had popped up in a conversation I was having with someone only a few days ago; How he had replaced Freddie Mercury in Queen for a while and that he'd also been in the bands Free and The Firm 😀 Have a great week, you and yours! 😊👍
this song sits in my category of songs like ,> Johny be good, turn the page, Juke Box Hero
He followed his dreams and became successful, but then succumbed to vices and the excess of a rockstar.
Fun fact this song opens the movie " wonderland the story of John Holmes and the wonderland canyon murders in the early 80s great movie you should react to that val kilmer stars as Holmes does a Oscar worthy acting job
Yes I do remember that.
One of their best songs is Rock and Roll Fantasy
Oh how I love how you guys play off each other, I can make you cry, No I can make you cry, It's on, challenge accepted. As usual a great reaction and the " My song " can make you cry challenge is going to be epic ! ! Let me throw a couple songs out there for you guys. Lonestar - I'm Already There ( Message From Home ) military tribute and 3 Doors Down- When I'm Gone ( Aboard USS George Washington ) military tribute and for thought, John Cougar Mellencamp - Minutes to Memories. Thanks Guys Keep up the good Work ! !
To me the unspoken corollary to "All the world will love you just as long as you are a shooting star" is that once you are no longer the star, no one gives a crap about you anymore, which is how Johnny wound up in his hotel room with the pills and booze.
This is my favorite Bad CO song
Boz and Simon are just killing it, and of course Mick and Paul are great! What a Great band!!
Burch, you need to introduce Alexis to Free, Paul's previous band. Wishing Well is a great jump off starter.
I played the hell out of this album. Every song on it is a winner. I almost always played both sides.
Drummer Simon Kirk was a big influence on me as a young goofy knucklehead teenage drummer, so solid and played to the song Paul Rogers is definitely one of my top 5 vocalists in contemporary music. Mick Ralphs on guitar & Mr Boz Burrell on bass Such a great band
Oddly enough i always remember Hot Chocolate and their song Emma when listen to this one 😋🤗🇧🇻
Hey Burch, you'd be fun to hang with. I learn something new in every video and I'm pretty knowledgeable, just a bit older. I like your unique niche in 80s metal. What is your opinion on Triumph? I think they need to get some Reactor's love! Between Rik's awesome vocals, Gil being pretty dang good in his own right and their overall 'amazingness'...I'd love to see your take on them!
Hello birch and alexis
Hello
Agree to disagree on Ed Sheeran. Btw, Paul Rodgers sounds as good as ever these days. Amazing vocalists, one of my all time favorites
As an 80's fan I really like "No Smoke Without a Fire". Completely different though. Has official video.
I saw Bad Co. for the first, and only, time in August of 2019. Paul Rodgers was 4 month short of turning 70 years old. He is one of those rare rockers (I would add Sammy Hagar to this list) who's voice is as strong as it was when these songs were first recorded. He has aged well and I hope that he has a few more musical years ahead of him.
I was in a band in high school in 1977 and im sure if we had made it big i probably would have gone down Johnnys path. Love bad company !
Story telling songs Meat Loaf always a great story paradise by dashboard lights actually just pick one always a great story teller
good comparison. Lou Gramm and Paul Rogers are my favorite rock voices.
Don’t Let Me Down is a great Bad Company deep cut
"Is this going to make me cry?"
*pulls out box of tissues*
"no?"
They deserved more recognition if not in so called Rock and Roll Hall of fame crime
Don't forget he sang for the super group THE FIRM!
This is a great song, PAUL RODGERS, nickname is "THE VOICE" and it's the same it was in the 60's. Great live performer, I read he is releasing new music 🎶
I always think of Paul Kossoff, Paul Rodgers & Simon Kirke's former Free bandmate, when I hear Shooting Star. Shine on Koss! Paul Rodgers' voice is the best in R&R. Listen to Free's Walk In My Shadow - awesome!
Thank you for that a great song and band I love a story song please show Alexis another great story song by HEART "All I wanna do" the video is fantastic
