FIRST TIME HEARING Bad Company - Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy REACTION

[@dawnpatrol700]

The space sound was syndrums. Electronic drum pads that were new in the late 70s. Anita Wards " ring my bell" and Shalamar " 2nd time around", use syndrums as a major part of the melody of the song

[@robertaistrope9602]

I am agreeing with a lot of people here...Bad company "Shooting Star" one of their best songs without a doubt! I also like their song "Bad Company". Another one on my list of bands that I've seen in Concert (got in trouble for this one because my buddy "borrowed" his dad's car and we drove over 500 miles just to go to the concert).

[@michaelasay8587]

Feel like making love...is the best

[@truck_yeah_440]

"Can't Get Enough", "Movin' On", "Ready for Love", and "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" are my favorites of theirs. My favorite classic rock band. They often go overlooked when people rank their best classic rock bands of all time for whatever reason.

Great Band. Paul Rodgers is the most under-rated singer in history. Should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a long time ago. This is their best song in my opinion.

[@neillenet291]

Paul Rodgers is definitely not underrated. He's considered to have one of the finest, blusiest voices in Rock and Roll history. You don't ask to join Queen or to join bands with Jimmy Page if you're underrated.

[@neillenet291]

@@Spo-Dee-O-Dee I disagree that Paul Rodgers is "better than Freddie." As a matter of fact very few singers can be compared to Freddie Mercury, he was in a class all of his own. Freddy could sing anything that Paul Rodgers did but Paul Rodgers could not sing everything Freddie did. I don't know, I saw the firm back in the '80s with Jimmy Page and Paul Rodgers and I definitely didn't compare him to Robert Plant. As a matter of fact it never entered my mind. I don't think Robert Plant was necessarily "better, " they are just different.

I went to a concert where Bad Company made their premiere performance, opening for.two blockbuster bands; Edgar Winter’s White Trash and Foghat. Bad Company blew them off the stage; they couldn’t get them off the stage to bring on the “headliners” they were that good ; we all loved them. The next day I heard that Bad Company was dropped from the tour; and that was when they went from opening to their own tour.

[@stevemcdonald6440]

Just to Note.. At one point in Rock History..lead singer Paul Rodgers of earlier Band... Free..and then Bad Company was voted The best Rock and Roll voice...and held it for longest time. Still is to me hand down..

You should give a listen to Paul Rodgers' earlier band, Free (If you haven't already). "Alright Now" is their most well known tune, but my favorite from Free is "Mr. Big" - An incredible tune that was also brilliantly covered by Gov't Mule....

Check out the live version from Wembley Stadium. Howard Leese, (Heart) plays guitar alongside Mick Ralphs.

[@jonathangeraldrobinson720]

The Original Bad Company, Paul Rodgers, Mick Ralphs, Simon Kirke, and Boz Burrell, are my favorite band by a mile. Their secret weapon being the very understated but infinitely solid drumming of Simon Kirke. You gotta check out a band called The Firm, featuring Paul Rodgers on vocals and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page on guitar. Some of their songs: "Radioactive," "Satisfaction Guaranteed," "All the King's Horses," and "Live in Peace." -JR in Miami

[@brucemcdonald6426]

In the mid 2000s, Bad Company was on one of my flights returning from Guam. They sat in coach and had a great time with the other passengers. Someone asked if they were a heavy metal band. They responded by saying that they were more of a rusty metal band!
