    This song was partly inspired by 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.” Paul Rogers said he wanted to keep the name neutral for all the singer that died to early .

    I think you guys completely missed the point of the song. It's warning about the dangers of stardom. Johnny rocketed to stardom and then his star came crashing down just as quickly. The third verse implies that Johnny took his own life or he accidentally OD'd. "Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head". He died via a mixture of drugs and alcohol. The pressures of fame got to him.

    This one always touches my heart when I hear it. The way they sing "Don't you know..." is tender and emotional. Almost feels like gospel music. And the ending, of course, is tragic and sadly far too common among celebrities. It's a good warning for up-and-comers in that world...don't tie up your self-worth in how "successful" or "famous" you are. Such things are usually fleeting. Let something else define you, like your happiness with your art. Or your kindness, what you've done for friends and family, etc.

    "Seagull". It's a softer song for Bad Company, but you'll be very glad you had the pleasure of hearing it. It's a great example of Paul Rodger's vocal range and it is a flat out beautiful song.

    Mick Ralphs to me is one of the most under rated guitarists ever. How Bad Company is not in the Rock Hall just mystifies
    me beyond belief.

      One of the many bands from that era that are ignored by the RHOF while they add newer non-rock singers. It's a shame they don't understand what a hall of fame should be.

      It’s criminal that Bad Company is not in the RRHOF, and I believe that it compounds the crime when they induct people like Dolly Parton. I love Dolly, but she’s as country as a turnip green! There is nothing even remotely rock-n-roll about her, NOT AT ALL.

    My first reaction to this was when i was a pre-teen, and hearing from my older brother that this was the song they played at his friend's funeral, who died of leukemia at 17, because it was his favorite song.
    It's been one of my favorite songs ever since, because it's so great, and so true.

  • @jonathangeraldrobinson720

    My favorite band of all time. Bad Company was a super group comprised of members who had all been in successful bands before. Vocalist Paul Rodgers and the woefully underrated drummer Simon Kirke had been in Free (remember "All Right Now"?). Lead guitarist Mick Ralphs had been in Mott the Hoople, and bassist Boz Burrell had been in King Crimson, both successful bands in the UK. This song is oddly prescient. Released in 1975, it inadvertently foretold the death of Rodgers' and Kirke's former Free bandmate, guitarist Paul Kossoff a few months later.
    Pleeease do "Silver, Blue, and Gold." I think it's their best song.

  • @lynnlafever1810
    @lynnlafever1810 2 года назад +5

    Paul Rodgers is one of the best voices in all of rock music. From his first group Free, with their hit All Right Now (there is an official live version of this song. Absolutely epic!). I saw his second band, Bad Company in 1976 at the San Diego Sports Arena. The best concert I ever saw. The crowd went insane, and they had to do 3 more ohn curs! Later band The Firm, he was approached to be lead singer of Deep Purple and Black Sabath. He did replace Freddie Mercury in Queen. John Mellencamp called Rodgers "the best rock singer ever"

    Ive heard this song a million times through the years and it just dawned on me that Johnny's death was a choice by liquor and pills and not an accident. I think because I always heard this as a kid , the idea of someone choosing to take their own life was unthinkable to me. As an adult for many years now and having have lost many people to suicide through the years it hits me and makes this song a bit darker but also more poignant in its emphasis on the positives on Johnny's lIfe. Sorry for the long sentiment here but just had to talk it out. Suicide is and can be such a horrible thing in this world.
