Bad Company - Electricland (REACTION)

[@billschafer9668]

Bad Company is severely underrated. For them not to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a crime. I appreciate you guys keeping their music alive.

[@KrazyKatLadyx2]

The beauty about the way music was released back in that era was that you would buy an album and listen to the entire thing front and back, over and over. Not every song was written to become a single, but to enjoy within the context of the whole album, an ebb and flow of energy and emotion. It was beautiful.

[@robertreeves993]

Couldn't have expressed it any better.

This band should have more recognition

[@realbser1956]

Bad Company was such a great rock band. They had that special sound thanks to Paul Rodgers. 🔥

[@michaelschwab5628]

Bad Company was the first band Led Zeppelin signed to their record label "Swan Song Records" Paul Rodgers also asked Zeppelin's manager to manage their band. Lots of history with the 2 bands.

[@neillenet291]

Bad Company was considered a Super Group. They are a DEEP rabbit hole.

[@shawnbfowler8883]

Paul Ridgers is one of the best male vocalists. His pipes have endured the years. Simple Man is still my f ave.

[@paxonearth]

Paul Ridgers is great, but I still prefer Paul Rodgers ;)

[@RMLtiger]

Yes. Simple Man!

[@michaelhillmann3460]

This was about a trip they had to Vegas. From the last album before their original breakup. They reformed later. I’d pay to see Paul sing the phone book. He fronted the bands Free, Bad Company, the Firm, The Law, and had a stint with Queen . You want more of Paul’s piano playing “Running with the Pack” off the album of the same name. Or watch them play Bad Company live.

[@JayRo-xp1nt]

I did not know this . Thanks

[@keano7800]

Definitely massively underrated!!!! So many great tracks from a group of excellent musicians. Paul Rodgers is just a fantastic vocalist!

[@PK1971PK]

When I heard "Alright Now" by Free on the radio, Paul Rogers became to me the epitome of what a rock singer should sound like--and he just continued to be that in Bad Company and later groups. Bad Company was very big in their day--always on the radio and very popular. But so were a lot of other bands of the time. In today's world they may not come up as much as some, but I wouldn't ever say that they were under-rated in their time.

[@tammywhatever8602]

At age 57, my FIRST FAVORITE band & this is my FAVORITE of them... thank you guys SO much for acknowledging this! ❤

They are Bad Company on stage every 6 gun rocks when we saw them they just killed it with every song they played hands down one of the best bands that played live we see every year. Bad Company till the day I Die.🎸🎹🎹🎵🎶🎶🎵🎤

[@OLLI-ln7kp]

Rodgers was gifted with one of the best Bluesy Rock voices in the business,One of my first memories was when he was still with Free at the Isle of Wight festival singing All Right Now,To use a rarely used now Scottish term he was as Gallus as fxxk.

[@bobblethreadgill4463]

Been watching 👀 you guys for a while now, and I can see rock and roll starting to really sooth y'alls souls. Puts a huge smile 😃 on this old man's face. Hell Yeah!!!

[@tjmasson1013]

Yea. The airplay beat boys get it! GOAT reactors!

[@guitarsrcool4922]

One of the great rock voices of all time, Mr Paul Rogers. During an interview, Ann Wilson from Heart was asked if she had her choice of any singer she could do a duet with, who would she choose and without hesitation she said Paul Roger's.

[@DM-hk4cw]

Every Bad Company song sends me to a certain place which is hard to describe. The musicianship in each album is impeccable and Paul's vocals take it to another level. They should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The whole "Run With The Pack" album has always sent shivers up my spine: check it out.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

Absolute truth! R&R Hall blows. Tull, Trower, Toto not in, and that’s just a few of the groups starting with the letter T. All of their catalogs are serious bodies of work. Paul Rogers not in is a crime. Saw every Bad Co Tour from seventies through early eighties and they sounded like their studio recordings. Tight as sh*t. Regards 🍻

[@blainelake]

That's Paul on the piano. As was mentioned this was about being on tour in Vegas. Their cab driver was listening to a police scanner and heard that a guy was killed and wanted to take them by to see it. They answered "NO!" I'm enjoying your reviews of my favorite band. You should see them live. They usually open with this song.

[@Bucketbothead007]

Great song! Paul Rodgers is easily one of my favorite rock vocalists, & there's some great songs on his solo albums too. He did lead vocals on the songs Voices in the Wind, Sharing the Same Dream, How Long & Never Look Back on Tim Donahue's 1996 album, Voices In The Wind. Bad Company's 2008 live version of 'Ready For Love' from Hard Rock Live is awesome! The entire concert is killer & Paul sounds incredible during that concert, better than at Wembley in 2010 imo.

[@gailjohnson5950]

There is no voice like Paul Rodgers! And he can still do it!

[@josephdurham6051]

"runnin' with the pack" is my favorite from bad company. Y'all should definitely check it out. Great song

[@keithjames7843]

This is a song Paul wrote about Vegas when they first came to the United States He said being from Europe He was amazed at the lights of Vegas This band’s name was Free When they first came to the USA But this changed to Bad Company not long after they arrived in the USA Paul has one of the best voices in rock or blues Paul did a tribute album to Muddy Waters and all the songs on this album are Muddy Waters songs except the song that Paul wrote for the cover of the album Muddy Water Blues There’s two versions of the song one in acoustic, and one in electric guitar But this is one of my favorite blues albums that I own and he made this album in 1993 or 94 and it is fire the whole album Some of the best rock and blues guitarist The cover song Muddy Water Blues is so good and Paul has the perfect voice for the blues

[@michaelyork4554]

Another overlooked song by BadCo is "Gone, Gone, Gone" a bit humorous, but Pure Bad Company, from the ladies man, Paul Rodgers.

[@BROU-bb2uc]

ABSOLUTELY one of my favorites.

[@bmrepass]

Paul Rogers - one of the best ever! I used to love Free, Bad Company, and some related spin-off bands like Back Street Crawler w/ Paul Kossoff. LOVE Bad Company ❤

[@davegawel3944]

Great reaction guys.Bad Company is an awesome band. One thing, I'm still waitin on a song you missed from Steely Dan's Katy Lied album and it's one of their best...CHAIN LIGHTNING!!!!! You'll love it. ROCK ON

[@marioh3065]

Great video guys! Paul Rodgers, lead singer is the piano player. Electric Land is my favorite song from Bad Company. Best way to get acquainted with them, is listen to BC 10 from 6. 10 songs from 6 albums. Their most adored songs that made the charts, and the fans love. Peace out!

[@D1Gr8hansGraf]

I had the pleasure of seeing Paul live with Bad Company, Queen, in support of his solo catalogue and with other greats like Ann Wilson (Heart), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Jeff Beck, etc. and he always puts on a great show. One particular evening in the mid’90s, my buddy and I went to the Belly Up, a very small venue in San Diego, to catch Paul’s show. We got there early and while sitting at the bar, Paul came up and spent a few minutes talking with us. He is not only a great singer, but an good, humble human being. I recommend you listen to his material with The Law.

[@anneaires3984]

Ooooo Weeee they were Bad! saw them in 75 in Philly at the Spectrum... Fantastic!!!!! ❤️💃🏼🔥

[@davewelch377]

Paul is the vocalist and the piano player as well and he played alot of guitars on this album too. Thanks for sharing this video..

IMO this is Bad Compayny's best song! It really shows Paul Rogers' vocal range and power and how good rock and roll can be!

[@rubicon-oh9km]

This album was the last gasp of Paul Rogers-led Bad Company. This track is so moody and atmospheric. Stellar song.

[@danhill5619]

[@crbr1432000]

One of my all time favorites for many years. If you haven't already seen them live please do. Great job again guys!

[@m.scottreeder]

This is one of the most ominous songs in rock music. It is about a man who tries to blend into a world he doesnt understand, but the world is filled with an electric dystopia. Another weird song: "Shooting Shark" by Blue Oyster Cult (1983 album long version).

[@michaelyork4554]

Bad Company and Free are all about Paul Rodgers. One of the best!

[@Debcatawba]

The first concert I ever saw was FREE, the first hugely successful group with Paul Rodgers and band are Simon Kirke. They later went on to form Bad Co. I’ve been lucky enough to have seen Bad Company 2 times.

Growing up in Wash. DC Bad Company was all over the radio. They were big on rock stations. Love them.

[@arthurwoodson288]

Paul Rogers & Jimmy Page formed the band The Firm in the 80s. You will want to check them out, but you need to go deeper with Bad Company, they were one of the best bands to come out of England in the 70s right up their with Zeppelin,Pink Floyd, Queen, Deep Purple, & Black Sabbath. Paul Rogers is considered one of the best Rock Vocalist of all time.

[@mamaflush9945]

I don't know how popular BC was on the west coast, but here in the upper parts of the south Bad Company was hugely popular. They were easily talked about alongside led Zeppelin and ZZ Top. My first boyfriend had been a big fan of ZZ Top and had started a pretty serious collection, by the time we started dating. I was a big fan of BC and had started a pretty decent collection of their albums, myself. We used to love to bring a record from our collection over to the other one's house and we would listen to both an album by ZZ Top and one of mine by Bad Company, we would listen to them both and pick them a part...the musicianship, the lyrics, what we supposed, made the band write what they wrote. Lots of beautiful memories associated with this one fellas'. Here's another one of their songs, if interested. "Bad Company - Shooting Star (Official Audio)" (channel: Bad Company) Thanks for sharing

[@D1Gr8hansGraf]

They’ve always been very popular in Southern California. Paul Rodger tours the area regularly.

[@timjc4344]

VERY popular in Central California as well.. SO many great songs! Their “self titled, Simple Man (in comparison/contrast to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s version - both are 🔥), & Runnin With The Pack” to name just a very few of our “local” favorites!

[@TheDivayenta]

Their eponymous song, “ Bad Company” is my fave. They named themselves after the song!

[@skydogfan4671]

Mick Ralphs, Bad Company’s lead guitar player, is without a doubt, IMHO, one of the most if not the most underrated/underappreciated guitar players of all-time. He’s in my top 10. (I don’t rank them within the top ten, except Duane Allman no. 1). I recommend Good Lovin Gone Bad by them next. Live For The Music is another good song by them to react to.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

If you haven’t already, give, “Silver Blue and Gold” a reaction. Truly one of their best, along with “Call on Me” and “Deal With the Preacher.”

Bad Company or" Free," (band) Paul's voice is distinct and memorable. He has a style unlike any other. In the late Sixties the "Hard" Rock sound began to emerge. "Free," was forefront on the progression. This is one Great big Album "Rabbit Hole," but here we go. The short time FREE,* with Simon Kirke on Drums, Andy Frazer Bass, Paul Kosoff Guitar, and Paul Rodgers Vocals, Piano, Guitar Percussion, were together, so many deep Blues gems like "Fire & Water" were present on each Album. Once the band broke up Rodgers, and Kirke, formed Bad Co.** rabbit hole #2 Later Rodgers Teams up with Jimmy Page to form "The FIRM," ***#3 rabbit hole. I lost hearing at "The FIRM" sitting front row with industrial ear protection. Still again later Rodgers was asked to Front "QUEEN" after Freddies, departure. La, & Che, Happy Tunneling.

[@RMLtiger]

Free is 100% the most underrated band of all time!
