Sammy Hagar and Foreigner's Mick Jones Play "Dirty White Boy" | Rock & Roll Road Trip

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Make no mistake about it. Lou's iconic voice and songwriting put Foreigner on the map. Glad he at least paid homage to Lou.

[@stephenhensley5631]

He should ! Money might have been nice too, for Lou .

[@jonbongjovi1869]

Lou was special, but so were others in the band. The SONGS on those first few albums are FLAWLESS.

[@juliespencer3581]

Well I think Lou outshines Mick in so many ways, that Mick sheisted Lou out of jealousy & envy. It's sad Mick can't credit Lou enough for Foreigners' early success. But really, it just makes Mick look insecure & not right. He owes much of his band's success to Lou beginning WAY back in the 70s! So what it was Mick's original band. He should STILL credit Lou with the popularity he brought to Mick's band. It's so freaking obvious Lou's singing & personality, made Mick's band famous in the 70s & 80's. Lou really made Mick's band rock!!! MICK CLEARLY IS TOO INSECURE TO CREDIT LOU & OTHER ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS FOR HOW WONDERFUL FOREIGNER WAS!!! (SORRY Mick). But Lou should also really let it go! Everyone already knows ALL the original members made Foreigner rock! Not just Mick!!!

[@richardbayne7566]

Mick needs to do the right thing and give Lou the credit he deserves and the royalties for I Want To Know What Love Is.

[@TheErik249]

Mick Jones wrote that song. The credits read... Words and music... Mick Jones. YES. Lou made that song what it became. But in the music business, publishing rights are everything. Jones has been in the business actively since 1961. It's A business. It's not a charity. Lou Gramm wasn't smart with his money. That's NOT Mick's fault. The music business is full of stories about people who became famous and then blew it all because of excess. Lou Gramm is one of those people. People like Mick Jones and Jimmy Page knew early on that it is a business. Publishing rights and producing credits are the way to become successful. Sammy Hagar also owns a lot of his Publishing rights. Sammy didn't let the party kill his career. He was smart. That's why he is still around, and he is still smiling.

[@waltersimmons946]

​@TheErik249 Lou got NO MONEY for I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS. It was Mick who introduced Lou to cocaine and other drugs . Also nobody in Foreigner got bad press for being caught with drugs or getting into trouble in public bringing any scandals on the band since you mentioned excess.

[@paulam408]

@@TheErik249 If you have seen Lou's interview's, I can't believe he's lying about how Mick did not give him credit on the writing of that song. It was never my favorite song but I believe Mick did Lou dirty. And what facts support that Lou wasn't smart with his money? How does that statement relate to Lou getting no credit for writing in the band? Lou WAS & IS Foreigner. Mick needed Lou more than Lou needed Mick.

Everybody’s different based on what they like, but for me I’d probably put Mick Jones in my top 10. Dude plays for the song and he’s written some great ones.

[@SLO4SpeedBump]

I've been listening to both of these gentleman sense 1975. I never got a chance to see them live. They were always too far away and too expensive for my budget. But they are on my i-pod and I listen to it everyday when I walk. It's really good to see both of them doing good.

Sammy Hagar have no trouble meshing into any rock band, the guy can sing without breaking into a sweat.

[@pf100andahalf]

It's great that Mick Jones played the song knowing he wouldn't be able to finish the lead part. That shows humility and is the right kind of person to work with. An egomaniac would've never done that. He doesn't have to be a great lead player, just write good songs and be a good enough player to play his part.

[@donovanlong648]

My favorite Foreigner song!

[@yactabay]

Used to live in Florida and worked at an airport. A passenger’s last name was Gagliardi. I said a former member of Foreigner had that uncommon last name. The guy’s eyes opened wide and said it was his cousin. I wasn’t sure if he was joking but as the conversation progressed I saw it was true. I asked why he left the band. I can’t remember if he got fired or quit but I remember him saying that Mick was a control freak.

[@KENDZIification]

Any band that wants success needs that one member who goes above and beyond. Call them control freaks or whatever. Mick Jones, Noel Gallagher, Tom Scholz, Kurt Cobain, etc. These guys write the big hits that elevate everyone’s pay in the band. And existence. Music is a f*cker of a business and to make it there better be an alpha present….or else.

[@koontzman123]

Watch some Lou Gramm interviews. Mick basically took all credit and all royalties. Real scum of the earth type.

[@Hutchbullterrier1]

I don’t think Foreigner would have made all that money with a totally different singer than Lou Gramm. It was Lou’s voice that propelled that song (and others) into its timeless stellar greatness. And it’s not too late to repair the damage. Just think of all the time they wasted… imagine all the songs they could have made since that incident!?! What a loss. Respect and communication solves many problems. I pray that both resolve this issue.

I saw Foreigner open for the Stones in the late 70s early 80s. I think Peter Tosh was on the bill as well. People were booing Foreigner because they were so desperate to hear The Rolling Stones. Foreigner sounded great, but the entire crowd really didn't care.

Sammy asked Mick the key question. “Did you ever think at our age we’d still be doing this and making as much $ as you ever did?” The answer lies within the question. Why do you think all of these bands from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s tour ad such advanced ages? Sure some love playing music but the truth of it is they make more $ in one tour than they made their entire careers.
