back story....Rodgers had a western ballad lick he was working on and guitarist Mick Ralphs had the driving "making love" riff.....they combined the two into this one song. Awesome.
Paul Rodgers is one of greatest pure Rock & Roll singers of all-time and still sounds fantastic to this day. Bad Company are one of my favorite bands from the 70's & 80's.
I went to see Freddie King, for a Gerald Wilson Jazz class credit, at the Starwood in Hollywood and both Paul Rodgers and Joe Cocker came up on stage:) P.S. for my other jazz credit saw Muddy Waters, at the Roxy in Hollywood, and Gregg Allman with his new band played with Muddy for an extra 45 minutes.
EVERY SONG of ALL SIX of the Bad Co albums with Paul Rodgers as their front man are each a gem in its own right. It’s the ONLY band I know that had no mediocre songs on any album. Every one of them were/are gems!
Fun fact: Paul Rodgers (the lead singer) is the only person in rock history to have a top 5 song in the charts with 4 separate bands! (Free, Bad Co., The Firm and The Law).
Great band. It was formed by members of different bands: Free, Mott The Hoople, King Crimson. Their manager was Peter Grant who also managed Led Zeppelin.
Paul Rodgers is a great vocalist. Bad Company formed from the band Free that only had one or two hits "Alright Now". disbanded in 1973.Bad Company had great success. "Shooting Star" "Rock n Roll Fantasy" "Bad Company" After Paul Rodgers left the band & Led Zeppelin disbanded,Paul Rodgers & Jimmy Page formed a super group "The Firm" they had a couple of great hits Radio Active" "Satisfaction Guaranteed"
Oh yeah....it seems like the experimentation of the latter 60s just exploded into the juggernaut of the 70s. So many sounds and styles just turned the 70s into a defining era of rock'n'roll. It simply wont happen again on a scale like this
Before you guys even said it I was thinking I guarantee they’ll be doing it to this one later and I know you guys are thinking it, and then when you paused you talked about it! It’s just that song! Have fun!
Can’t Get Enough, Shooting Star, Good Loving Gone Bad, Silver Blue & Gold, Ready For Love, with “Movin’ On” being my personal favorite. List goes on and on. 70’s rock was King.
This band was huge and one of my favorites back in the day, the first time I saw them live was their Burning Sky tour! Bad Company/ Bad Company was the opening song😊
Bad Company's self titled song, Bad Company, has always been my favorite. A rare song named after the band... or vise versa, from their first album, Bad Company. What came first? The chicken, the egg or the rooster? They always had a distinct sound, so no mistaking when one of their songs hit the radio. Another great band that emerged in the 70's. A staple.
the whole album straight shooter is a rock masterpiece,every song is unreal.roger's is one of the greatest rock singers ever,a blueprint for the ultimate front man
You said it right @stecumo6459 ! And I feel the same about their albums “Bad Company”, “Run With The Pack”, and “Burnin’ Sky”. Every song on each of those albums is a timeless gem!
There are so many great songs from Bad Co. Definitely the song Bad Co. is a must. Shooting Star, Rock n Roll Fantasy, Fool For You Anyway, and on and on........
Paul Rogers has one of the purest rock voices ever. He even sang with Queen for a few years and recorded an album with them after Freddie's passing. There is a concert of Queen & Paul Rogers singing this live and it is fantastic. You need to check out their live recording of "Bad Company" the song as well.
An old friend who taught me to play guitar. Played the intro to this just messing around. I'd never heard of them. I went home and listened to this song over and over. Shooting star is my favourite of theirs
The glorious 70s. The Vinyls from BadCo just upstairs in the Vinyl shelf from back then 😈😎🇧🇻. Together with all the other bangers rock n roll from the 70s 👍
As an oldtimer, Bad Co filled my early teen years with oodles of great songs. Paul Rodgers was my favorite rock singer for many years, until I heard Chris Cornell.
Legendary Classic Rock Band It was originally going to be a side project when the sessions turned out so good the turned into a Band. Lead Singer Paul Rodgers formerly of the Band “Free” was working with Guitarist Mick Ralphs of another Classic Rock Band “Mott the Hoople”, on some songs when they invited former Free drummer Simon Kirke & bassist Boz Burrell of King Crimson. Ralphs took several songs he wrote while in Mott The Hoople that turned into massive hits for Bad Company including “Can’t Get Enough” “Ready For Love” & “Movin On”. Bad Company has a massive catalog of Wonderful Songs. Lead
Paul Rogers has one of the top rock voices of all time! Bad Company is my second favorite English band next to The Who! Bad Company has many hits: Shooting Star, my favorite, Bad Company, Rock n Roll Fantasy, and more!
I believe this was the first band signed when Led Zeppelin created their own record label, Swan Song...A British band that somehow sounds quintessentially American...The tone of Mick Ralphs' guitar on the fills in the outro is just outstanding...I always wondered what else he might have played that got lost in the fadeout, because I could have listened to him do that for another ten minutes...
It is Peter Grant.... Also the Manager of Led Zeppelin.... Bad Company also recorded on Swan Song Label..... Lead singer is Paul Rogers who also sang for the band Free..... The drummer is Simon Kirk also from Free.... Lead guitarist is Mick Ralph, and the Bassist is Boz Worell.....
Can never go wrong with some Bad Company! Classic rock at it's finest! Always a part of my junior high and high school playlist back in the day,and just as good 50 years later!🤘
Saw them live in the late 80's best sound of any show I have attended. And that was quite a few. Damn Yankees opened for them. Another epic band to listen to.
Great reaction to one of the best songs of the 70s. And in that same vein, their first album, titled Bad Company, includes a song that shares the band's name. You should really give it a shot =)
On their debut album Bad Company 1974 the title track "Bad Company" is an all time favorite. It has a Western vibe that reminds me of outlaws and bank robbers from back in the day.
love this one & this band. other killer tracks of theirs: 'shooting star', 'silver blue and gold', 'rock and roll fantasy'. and so many more! I have their greatest hits on CD, now I want to listen again. Thx for reminding me of them again.
Can you imagine how many air-guitars were being played by us kids when this song hit the airwaves? And it was also one that we liked singing along to. This song is a no-doubter when it comes to making a list of iconic R&R songs. Enjoyed watching you two get lost in this one. Bad Company is a great band. Loaded with great songs.
Love this band. They were all seasoned musicians: two from 'Free', singer Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke; former 'Mott the Hoople' guitarist Mick Ralphs; and ex-'King Crimson' bassist Boz Burrell. (thank you Wikipedia) A few other great songs; 'Bad Company', 'Crazy Circles', 'Holy Water', Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy', and 'Shooting Star'. Cheers
Another GREAT band from the '70s!... Saw them front row center at the Nassau Coliseum in '77... Fantastic!... If I may suggest, alway rewind a few seconds before starting again...
Another high school flashback, man the seventies were great. Paul Rodgers was also in Free in the late sixties and toured with Queen in the early two thousands.
BAD COMPANY: "Rock Steady" "Can't Get Enough" "Burnin' Sky" "Gone,Gone,Gone" "Love Me Somebody" "Ready For Love" "Movin' On" "The Way I Choose" "Don't Let Me Down" Basically ALL of them, (plus the 90's version with Brian Howe on vocals) and FREE too!!!
I saw Bad Company live at the Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans in 1976. Kansas opened for them. They were basically a supergroup of musicians from established bands of that time. The singer & drummer from Free, bassist from King Crimson & guitarist from Mott the Hoople.
Bad Company was first signed to Led Zeppelin owned label - Swan Song Records, which is how Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant became their first manager. The group tells about Led Zeppelin's notorious drummer John Bonham meeting them with Peter Grant after they were signed telling them to be good boys. Boz Burrell, the bassist remarked that it was ironic that they were being told to behave by the biggest hooligans in England.
There album 10 from 6 is a greatest hits album and it truely is a greatest hits, title track bad company is amazing and five finger death punch a verson does it justice
back story....Rodgers had a western ballad lick he was working on and guitarist Mick Ralphs had the driving "making love" riff.....they combined the two into this one song. Awesome.
Paul Rodgers is one of greatest pure Rock & Roll singers of all-time and still sounds fantastic to this day. Bad Company are one of my favorite bands from the 70's & 80's.
Ditto
I went to see Freddie King, for a Gerald Wilson Jazz class credit, at the Starwood in Hollywood and both Paul Rodgers and Joe Cocker came up on stage:) P.S. for my other jazz credit saw Muddy Waters, at the Roxy in Hollywood, and Gregg Allman with his new band played with Muddy for an extra 45 minutes.
As an old Luddite i grew up listening to bands like FREE 👍.Then out of the sad passing of Kossof 🙏 Bad Company rose to top 🎉✌️
Next song, their title track Bad Company.
Even a better song!!
Should’ve started here but hopefully will get to it
Then Alright Now…
Defiantly, but anything from the 10 from 6 album is great.
Yep must do that.
All right now was by Free though. Still worth a reaction though.
My Favorite song of theirs is “Shooting Star.” Their songs “Ready For Love,” “Bad Company” and “Rock and Roll Fantasy” are all bangers and a few more.
Paul Rogers could make a hit without words, just oos ahs whoa heys, doesn’t need proper words
This is a rabbit hole you are going to love....Bad Company always delivers
EVERY SONG of ALL SIX of the Bad Co albums with Paul Rodgers as their front man are each a gem in its own right. It’s the ONLY band I know that had no mediocre songs on any album. Every one of them were/are gems!

One of rock's truly great voices too. 🙋♂
@@jeffstevens4262 so true!
The Firm and The Law should have form a supergroup called the The Law Firm
@@gdo3510
Witty!😀
Explains why he/theyre not inducted to the RnRH of shame
hi my name is Deanna I have a 21 yr old son who loves bad company Im enjoying ur u tube channel so thank u so
Paul Rogers one of the all time top voices in rock. ❤🔥
Bad Company has lots of great songs for you to discover.
Great band. It was formed by members of different bands: Free, Mott The Hoople, King Crimson. Their manager was Peter Grant who also managed Led Zeppelin.
I got this album as kid in the late 70's.
Paul Rodgers is a great vocalist. Bad Company formed from the band Free that only had one or two hits "Alright Now". disbanded in 1973.Bad Company had great success. "Shooting Star" "Rock n Roll Fantasy" "Bad Company" After Paul Rodgers left the band & Led Zeppelin disbanded,Paul Rodgers & Jimmy Page formed a super group "The Firm" they had a couple of great hits Radio Active" "Satisfaction Guaranteed"
Both bands had the same manager so it made sense to reform with members of both groups.
In the UK Free had a number of hit singles, and more than one or two. Not sure in the US.
All Right Now. The Stealer. My Brother Jake. Wishing Well. British hit singles.
The 1970s were the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. The more you dig into this era, you will realize the music is timeless and can not be duplicated.
Oh yeah....it seems like the experimentation of the latter 60s just exploded into the juggernaut of the 70s. So many sounds and styles just turned the 70s into a defining era of rock'n'roll. It simply wont happen again on a scale like this
Not a goofball at all! I wish I could hear Bad Company for the first time again! They have soooo much good stuff.
The Song Bad Company is a must
Agreed. Also Shooting Star.
Ready for Love is another great one.
Peter Grant of Led Zeppelin was manager of both bands and they both shared the Swan Song label.
Came to say this. Good on you.
🎯
The whole album this came off rocks
It blows me away how many bands you guys have never heard of. There is no limit to good music from the 70's.
They are pretty young, maybe 30s? A little too young to know our music ;)
PETER GRANT that managed LedZep possibly was Bad Cs manager since they were on the same label.. I'm guessing
Before you guys even said it I was thinking I guarantee they’ll be doing it to this one later and I know you guys are thinking it, and then when you paused you talked about it! It’s just that song! Have fun!
"Good Lovin' Gone Bad" "Shooting Star" "Sweet Little Sister" "Rock and Roll Fantasy" are just some of the BC gems you could react to next.
How about Bad Company ?
Throw in "Seagull" and "Burnin' Sky" too
@@michaelfried3123 Forgot to also mention "Live for the Music"
Paul Rodgers was singer in Free some great songs
Can’t Get Enough, Shooting Star, Good Loving Gone Bad, Silver Blue & Gold, Ready For Love, with “Movin’ On” being my personal favorite. List goes on and on. 70’s rock was King.
Saw Paul Rogers is 73. Saw him two years ago. He still sounds so amazing. Great reaction
I love how much you appreciated this classic song
Leisurely verse.
Raunchy chorus.
Sublime outro.
This band was huge and one of my favorites back in the day, the first time I saw them live was their Burning Sky tour! Bad Company/ Bad Company was the opening song😊
Paul Rogers and Simon Kirk were in the band Free. Another great band.
That one single bass note preceding the guitar solo. Wow.
Since others have already mentioned all that I was going to say, all I can say is you will absolutely dig the rest of their songs.
Bad Company's self titled song, Bad Company, has always been my favorite. A rare song named after the band... or vise versa, from their first album, Bad Company. What came first?

@@iDONTdoFacebook didn't get the recognition they deserved i think mate,unreal rock band
The cream of the crop when it comes to music my dad's favorite band 👍
Yoi can't go wrong with Bad Company they rock
There are so many great songs from Bad Co. Definitely the song Bad Co. is a must. Shooting Star, Rock n Roll Fantasy, Fool For You Anyway, and on and on........
Dove down this rabbit hole!! You won’t regret it. This was our Anthem as high school kids!!
Peter Grant was their manager he also was Zepp's Manager
Robert Plant of Led Zep mentioned Bad Co's Paul Rodgers as a favorite of his. Pretty lofty endorsement.
This album, and particularly this song, was heard at almost every college party when it came out, as you can imagine. Bad Company rocked. ✌️❤️🎶
Love Bad Co. ! Such a Underrated Band ! So kick ass !
Bad Co has never been underrated.
Paul Rogers has one of the purest rock voices ever. He even sang with Queen for a few years and recorded an album with them after Freddie's passing. There is a concert of Queen & Paul Rogers singing this live and it is fantastic. You need to check out their live recording of "Bad Company" the song as well.
This is definitely an awesome track by Bad Company! Glad you loved it, hope you do some more!❤❤
Paul Rogers performed with Queen for a tour. So we had Bad Company and Queen songs in one show. Great Live show!
The lead singer is Paul Rodgers , he and Jimmy Page formed a band called The Firm , and had a great song called Radioactive.
And "Satisfaction Guaranteed."
Now you have to give a listen to "Ready for Love" off their first album Bad Co. the whole album is great.
when the guitar solo comes in on the last chorus it is one of THOSE moments in music
I got to see this band live, they are every bit as good live as they are in the studio! It was awesome
Can’t go wrong with any of these songs
Can’t Get Enough
Ready For Love
Bad Company
Bad Company is an amazing group. My favorite song by them is "Silver, Blue & Gold."
First band signed to the Swan Song label owned by Led Zeppelin
Haven’t seen you guys yet but you had me at Bad Company…Shooting Star will blow you away!
Now you have to dive into their other hits. Bangers all of them. That's the kind of stuff that keeps us coming back.
Another awesome Band🎉 Rock and Roll Fantasy an excellent tune!
Bad Company has so many great songs, and this is one of my favorites. Paul Rodgers is one of the best male vocalists of all time. Great pick!
An old friend who taught me to play guitar. Played the intro to this just messing around. I'd never heard of them. I went home and listened to this song over and over. Shooting star is my favourite of theirs
You need to listen to rock ‘n’ roll fantasy by Bad Company!
Their song called 'Bad Company' (by Bad Company) is really, really good, too. They're a great band.
The glorious 70s. The Vinyls from BadCo just upstairs in the Vinyl shelf from back then 😈😎🇧🇻. Together with all the other bangers rock n roll from the 70s 👍
Bad company one of THE BEST in the era of The best
THIS SOUNDS LIKE ROCK AND/OR ROLL.
Try 'Can't Get Enough of Your Love', same band.
Bad Company until the day I die that’s another awesome song by them 👍
As an oldtimer, Bad Co filled my early teen years with oodles of great songs. Paul Rodgers was my favorite rock singer for many years, until I heard Chris Cornell.

"Burning Sky" "Electricland" My first concert ever Straight Shooter Tour.

Lotsa good tunes with Bad Company
Bad Company is one of my all-time favorite bands.
Monster hit back in the day.
Best concert I've ever been to in '80. I've seen a lot of great 70s - 80s bands
Thank's, wonderful guys❤. One of my favorite bands.
This band has so many great songs.
Shot me right back to high school. Loved this band. Wore out this album.
Top 5 band for me. Catch some of their live shows. The do a great performance in their later years singing "Simple Man". Worth a listen.
Another GREAT band from the '70s!... Saw them front row center at the Nassau Coliseum in '77... Fantastic!... If I may suggest, alway rewind a few seconds before starting again...
Looove Bad Company!
Another high school flashback, man the seventies were great.
Paul Rodgers was also in Free in the late sixties and toured with Queen in the early two thousands.
Rock steady and bad company are fire!
BAD COMPANY:
"Rock Steady"
"Can't Get Enough"
"Burnin' Sky"
"Gone,Gone,Gone"
"Love Me Somebody"
"Ready For Love"
"Movin' On"
"The Way I Choose"
"Don't Let Me Down"
Basically ALL of them, (plus the 90's version with Brian Howe on vocals) and FREE too!!!
You forgot Seagull!!
I saw Bad Company live at the Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans in 1976. Kansas opened for them.
They were basically a supergroup of musicians from established bands of that time. The singer & drummer from Free, bassist from King Crimson & guitarist from Mott the Hoople.
