This may sound a little "nit picky" but I stopped listening to a channel because the husband said to the wife about ELO - Mr.Blue Sky... (i paraphrase) I like the rain and he makes it sound like rain is a bad thing, so i hate the song. We NEVER see that childish behavior with Andy & Alex.

Yep. It was a well crafted song right down to the Beatles reference at the beginning which was so spot on for all the kids that they inspired to want to be rock and roll performers just like Elvis had done a decade earlier and it was cool that Alex picked up on the specific usage of the words shooting star to fit the sad tale of so many young performers of note that checked out that way.

[@kaydantonio3719]

I so appreciate your analysis, Alex. For me, Shooting Star was more like a solemn remembrance of rock and roll loss. In 1971-72 we lost 3 legends over the course of a year, all the same age, all of the same cause. It was a dreaded theme and like generations before us we took it hard. And make no mistake, even then we knew Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison were legends. Then there was Duane Allman in a motorcycle crash during that same period And others I can’t think of right now It was awhile ago. Do more Bad Company, please. Well done, guys.

[@teesiemom]

Yeah, and not long after, we lost Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines of Lynyrd Skynyrd; and Gary Thain of Uriah Heap, and Keith Moon from The Who...so many that just burned bright, then were gone. 😔

[@andychisarick6879]

Dont forget Berry Oakley, Allman Bros bassist, died a year almost to the day, just like Duane in a motorcylce accident just a couple blocks from where Duane died. I've heard Bad Co wrote this song about Duane specifically, others say about Jimi. Who knows. But anyway your comment hit the nail on the head...

Shooting Star is a banger and classic short story complete with hope in the beginning and sadness at the end.

Finally more Bad Company! You guys nailed the reaction in this one! The lyrical analysis by Alex was deep, and spot on. Paul Rodgers is noted as one of the iconic voice standards in classic rock. Realize he was also the lead singer for Free, with songs like All Right Now, which is said to be played on the radio somewhere in the world every 45 seconds. Bad Company has got a wide range of fantastic songs. The songs you've got to listen to are: beginning with the harder hitting songs - Holy Water, Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy, Burnin' Sky, Rock Steady, and Can't Get Enough; to the middle ground - Bad Company, Shooting Star, and Movin' On; to the softer end of the spectrum - Ready for Love, Feel Like Makin' Love, Don't Let Me Down, and Seagull. You can't go wrong with any of these songs, or anything else from the Bad Company discography.

Love Free! And that's one of my fav songs!!

[@allycatsmith5158]

Ms Red Stilettos I don’t think I have seen anyone react to Free if so I haven’t seen it which is really too bad!!!

[@msredstilettoscraftsshoesc5152]

I know I haven't seen it done by anyone yet...and I totally agree! Everyone needs to hear Alright Now!!

[@jeffpoole2347]

Thanks for this song. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I’ve lost many friends I played with over the years to alcohol and drugs🥲

[@jimearnest4342]

Believe me,this song grows on you,the very first time I heard it,I had pretty much the same reaction to it, listen to it a couple more times and you'll see what I mean.

[@craighenry2351]

I agree, although I think I got all of the allusions in the song really quickly. Then I realized it was the best dosing in the album and their best song overall.

[@michaelligue3842]

Alex , great observation for the end of the song , he is burning out all of his talents , like a shooting star , burns the brightest at the end as it picks up speed .

[@aFiliandsomejoe]

Lol, the title almost got me guys!!!😆 For a second I thought you decided to tske my advice on Shooting Star....the band! Still a great tune from BadCo. No complaints here for sure. But really want to hear a reaction on "Last Chance" from y'all. Would be a banger for sure. Gotta give this a listen now!👍🏻

[@mendyrckz76]

I Love this song so much. A wonderful story all in one beautiful song.❤My favorite lyrics... "Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play Don't you know? Don't you know? Don't you know that you are a shooting star & The world will love you just as long as you are?" A beautiful written song. The tragic reality many great musicians have came to terms with. The fleeting journey of a Great Musician/Shooting Star leaving a legacy behind for the world to love. So sad but true. 😥 May all the great Musicians/Singers we have lost throughout the years RIP. And their legacy live on through their music. Great Reaction Guys! 😊

I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart (seriously!) for reminding me of music from my past to download for road trips! My husband thanks you too!

[@bigskyneal784]

I’ve always thought this was a very workmanlike, solid “B” sort of song, but the ending couple of minutes raise it up a notch. Especially that guitar work tucked behind the vocals.

This is one of those songs that hits you in an emotional spot. It kind of sweeps you along.

Being a teen in the 70’s, Bad Company was a formative band. 1st three albums were crazy good. Lots of radio presence and songs you could sing along to and play air guitar. Feel Like Makin’ Love, Good Lovin’ Gone Bad, Silver Blue and Gold... Good stuff!

[@Dragoninja]

More Bad Company, From their Debut ",Album "Can't Get Enough", "Rock Steady" & "Ready For Love". From Straight Shooter "Good Lovin' Gone Bad", & "Feel Like Making Love". From Destination Angels "Rock N Roll Fantasy".

The Eagles repeat that message in New Kid In Town. “Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down.”

[@KellenFredricksen]

Paul Rodgers is definitely a top 5 vocalist.

Ruben Tullenaar I like all the guys on your list man, Mercury would be on my 6-10 and maybe Plant. I got these for my 5 if I had to narrow it down: 1.- Steve Walsh 2.- Brad Delp 3.- Ronnie James Dio 4.- Paul Rodgers 5.- Gordon Lightfoot

Electric Land will completely blow your minds with the musical intricacies and Paul Rodgers vocals will bring you back to reality.

[@charlestwisted9890]

In the vein of “country rock” you would be remiss in not checking out “Can’t You See” by the Marshall Tucker Band and “Dixie Chicken” by Little Feat.

[@allenelliott5085]

Bad Company was an English Super Group formed from Vocalist Paul Rogers and drummer Simon Kirke from Free ("All Right Now"), bassist Boz Burrell from King Crimson and guitarist Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople. They had a long string of hits including "Can't Get Enough", "Feel Like Makin' Love", "Run with the Pack", "Movin' On", "Rock and Roll Fantasy", "Ready for Love" and " Live for the Music". After Freddie Mercury's death, Paul Rogers did two large tours singing for Queen. His voice is obviously completely different than Freddie's but his version of the Queen classics was surprisingly good.

As far as I remember this is interpreted as homage to the guitarist from their original band Free (Paul Kosof) who died as in this song.

[@GWard-hz5wj]

@hermit shack, I remember same as you. Paul Rodgers never got over Paul Kossoff's death. He said they all saw it coming & was a factor in the band's(Free) breakup. Kossoff died age 26, in flight to New York, from pulmonary embolus which many say was attributed to drug abuse. He was a great guitarist. YT has a lot of video coverage from his days with Free.

[@Scaramousche1955]

Paul Rodgers, the singer, was in a band called Free before Bad Company. The guitar player in that band, Paul Kossoff, was a rocker who's drug use caused a lot of problems in the band. His drug of choice was Mandrax, initially prescribed as a sleep aid, but later given the name Quaalude. While he didn't die directly of drug use, it was a major factor in the state of his health when he did pass...on an airplane flight that caused a blot clot to loosen and pass through his system. Rumor was always that this song was about Kossoff's life and passing.

[@rubentullenaar2934]

Next “Ten Years After” and.... *T H E H O L L I E S*

[@pauldiggin4004]

Good job Alex. You got the meaning of the song. Paul Rodgers wrote it and it was a commentary on the rock stars we had lost, like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. It became very poignant when during the tour for this album ,Paul Kossoff, the guitarist in Free, died. It is one of those songs that everyone sings along to at Bad Company concerts. You guys should do a banger from them next. Can't Get Enough, Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Feel Like Makin' Love, Deal With The Preacher, Live For The Music, Run With The Pack, etc.
