Mick Jones Tanked My Solo Career! Lou Gramm Reveals!

[@dnk1870]

I loved Midnight Blue. Thanks for a wonderful song Lou. Nobody can take your legacy away from you. ❤

[@bartsullivan4866]

Just Between Me and You was an excellent song as well that dude could sing anything

[@meldridge51]

Lou is the Greatest!

[@markbirchette8740]

Having been around for all of it, Lou has NEVER changed his story, and Mick has never denied it. I met Lou when he brought his band to Utah, and I bought a copy of his book, which he signed to me. We got to chat about our brain tumors being removed and the challenges we still face every day. Not Rockstar to fan, but human to human. Lou is a very nice man who got a raw deal from a very greedy Mick Jones. I reiterate that Mick has NEVER denied anything Lou has talked about for decades.

[@massapower]

Yup.. He said the same thing on EDDIE TRUNK 😎

[@trippingjune]

I hate how there are videos depicting the new singer lip syncing to the studio recordings of Lou Gramm. And these videos have tens of millions of people fooled.

[@Kiss2000man]

I bought it, and loved it

[@bnzz58]

Ready or Not was a great solo album much like Steve Perrys Street Talk album. Two of rocks greatest vocalists

[@patrickmoreau7592]

Lou got screwed That was a very good album

[@seaturtledog]

Well the band got screwed when they were fired after the 3rd album.

[@ericbgordon1575]

Even though I like the music of Foreigner, even though I like Mick Jones as a musician, I don't have a lot of respect for him as a person. The reason why Lou had to pursue a solo career was because Mick wouldn't let loose creative juices flow properly in Foreigner. I don't dismiss how Foreigner was Mick's vehicle, but what does it mean when you've got a singer as outstanding as Lou and he is suddenly just becoming your Hammer instead of your collaborator? Then, when Lou actually attempts to find an outlet such as the *Ready or Not* album or a song like "Just Between You and Me" which deserved to chart as high as any Foreigner single, why do you have to almost literally Payola it out of existence that way?

[@bartsullivan4866]

Just Between you and me and Midnight Blue were both amazing songs. Ahmet always served his own best interests

[@guillermo3564]

A David with an ego can never stand up to a butthurt Goliath.

[@EDDIETRUJILLO-q8p]

Ahmet was trying to mess around.

[@waltersimmons946]

I love Lou a lot but if Mick actually sabotaged his solo career. It begs to question why did he go running back to Foreigner in 1992 ?? Because Lou also accused Mick and Atlantic of sabatoging his 1991 SHADOW KING album and they only did ONE live performance on December 13, 1991 in England. Lou should be asked THOSE questions. Also John Edwards got burned by no heads up of Mick bringing Lou also in 1992. Very unprofessionally handled in reality. 4:00

[@rockocuba4321]

Mick Jones was the creator of the band and gave Lou is BIG opportunity and it’s hard to see how ungrateful Lou is. If he’s the man ok Put a band together and give us another great album and tour. Stop blaming the one who has been the producer, guitarist, songwriter and visionary of the band. Wish you peace bro, Thanks

[@newavatar2947]

@@rockocuba4321 Lou helped make Mick rich. Don't forget Lou co-wrote many of the hits. As time went along Lou started to find out how limited a role he really had in the band. That would make almost anyone upset I reckon

[@elle81gula36]

No Mick Jones in the news without Lou. And no hit band either without Lou.

[@keithplunk6611]

I don't care is Mick's uncle or god father was Les Paul. Foreigner would have been lame without Lou singing all those songs. Red flag...Mick lost his hair...therefore not a genuine rocker. Think about it... just about all true rockers keep their hair. Large % if you take all the great rock bands. It's true!

[@robert6907]

Lou is always bitching and blaming Mick Jones for anything, really. Must be a pain to work with the guy. Unhappy and frustrated. While having one of the best voices in rock ever, in his day. I’d really love to hear Mick’s view on working with the guy, but I guess he’s too much of a gentleman and a little too fragile these days.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Lou is a Class Act. He would never be talking like this if he didn't have a real good reason. Mick was unfair and unjust. He's damn lucky he got Kelly Hansen to sing those songs. Lou's voice put that band on the map.

[@WalterSimmons-vg1hv]

​​@@VIDEOHEREBOB(1) Johnny Edwards was chosen over Mark Free (King Cobra) and Kelly Hansen (Hurricane) to replace Gramm in 1990. Hansen has no hits of his own and made only one album (2009) CAN'T SLOW DOWN in his 19 years with the band. Too busy living off Lou's songs and contributions. Mick has never denied Lou accusations.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

@@WalterSimmons-vg1hv Yes, Thank you. Lou is my biggest vocal influence.

[@WalterSimmons-vg1hv]

@@VIDEOHEREBOBHe's one of mine also.

[@newavatar2947]

Seems like Lou cant get over how much of a financial gap there is between him and Mick even though he sang on all the big hits. It seems like he pissed a lot of his early money away when the band were at thier peak. Drugs/alcohol/women/etc.etc.

[@BladesInExile]

Not sure that's all true. He's more upset about the royalty split, with Mick not fairly sharing. That's from previous interviews

[@bartsullivan4866]

​@BladesInExile probably dead on as great a guitar player as Mick is it's Lous voice that was the heart and soul of that band. 4 to this day is excellence and I HATED I wanna know what love is

[@newavatar2947]

@bartsullivan4866 Head Games best for me. Its more rocking

[@bartsullivan4866]

Headgames has some bangers for aure hust didn't think it flowed as well much better than Double Vision. ​@@newavatar2947

[@michaelcarley7016]

Sour grapes, All you had to do was put together another band and tour.

[@andyhayes7828]

Another record, even a better record would have tanked without label support. Lou was a little fish in a big ocean. Mick was a great songwriter and producer (he produced Van Halens '5150')........he had WAY more pull with the label than Lou did. Mick didn't want to lose that golden voice $$$$$

[@waltersimmons946]

​@@andyhayes7828I have Sammy Hagars "RED ROCKER " book. Mick Jones according to Sammy produced ONLY one song on 5150 called 👉 DREAMS. VAN HALEN produced the rest of the album THEMSELVES.
