Nobody can sound like Paul Rodgers, and I think it's admirable that this guy didn't try. He did his own rendition, and did it well. Compliments all around!

[@dishadsadiq]

True that good cover but Paul Rodgers is quite special isn’t he ?

[@scotthunt2479]

@@dishadsadiq There will never be another voice like Paul Rodgers.

[@Blackhawkveteranretired]

For years I had no idea Bad company were British,they absolutely nailed the southern/blues rock sound. You guys have absolutely nailed Bad company's sound and I salute you for that!

[@AbbeyRoad52]

Fantastic singing. I think its great honestly that he didn't try to sound like Paul Rodgers. Y'all made it your own, and the singers style fit the song perfectly.

[@uncleronny6748]

I was thinking the same exact thing cause those Paul Rodgers shoes are gigantic.

[@garycooper3090]

The best cover band out there. 🙂♥️👍

[@bobkinney7913]

Randy, my guy....... You should've been named Dandy! Credit where it's due, Randy you are a monster in the best possible way!!!!!

[@ignacioruiz5824]

The singer nailed it! Band's rocking as well. This is hands down the best cover band on KZbin

[@petertrast]

You haven't seen Leonid and friends...

[@brianhenry7713]

Best is right! Love this group!

[@kanesanders6669]

@@petertrast I have, they're fantastic (6 months ago I would have said THE best), these guys are better. Leonid & Friends do mostly Chicago covers and the musician roster is more stable. These guys tackle everything and any genre and in my opinion the rotating guest musicians/singers make it even more impressive.

[@markedward6087]

this band is simply amazing the only other cover band on their level is HSCC check them out :)

[@deadshot4245]

@@markedward6087 that was the other one i was gonna suggest that group is impressive

Great Job!

[@YBNegative]

One of my favorite songs, and i love BadCo! The guitars on this are so sweet, and dialed in tonally! I love Tom's vocals on these (and Steely Dan) and the music is performed so respectfully to the original that it's easy to lose yourself back to 1975! Thank you for refreshing the soundtracks of our lives over and over again!

[@jimzeleny7213]

Love the tone of that Les Paul

[@404nitro]

I wish you guys would have done rock steady when you were doing these Bad Co songs. This one and rock steady are two of my favorite songs from that band and a s usual, you did it great.

[@2307Martino]

great - great - a fan of LLB from Germany

[@MrGreggallman]

One word... Delicious!

[@noreply8134]

THAT.WAS.AWESOME! Hey, bassist: great job! I guess Boz Burrell was the bassist w/Bad Co. You're right up there with him, bro. That style of playing takes a natural born bass player. Man, I wish it came to me naturally. All I can manage is a sloppy, stiff, pathetic imitation. *jealous* Lol! Best.

[@stevemcking1488]

Great job!! When ever I hear this song I think it's about Tommy Bolin. But I really don't know .

[@davidbuswa9425]

For those about to rock I salute you. Thanks for sharing your gift to all the music lovers

[@redrocks1983]

Damn good...Kentucky certainly has its fair share of outstanding musicians/vocalists.

[@jamesschoonover5068]

Great cover! You all continue to blow me away how close to the original you sound (Musically) and as previously stated, vocals your own rendition...so good! Videography always great!! Thanks LLB!! What aa great team!!

[@paulkuppinger458]

Beautiful!!!

Bad Company Lyrics "Shooting Star" Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song, 'Love me do,' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long. Got himself a guitar, used to play every night, Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit, And everything's all right, don't you know? Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah. Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye. Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'. Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are a shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long, As long as you are. Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one, Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song. Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast. Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'. Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah, And all the world will love you just as long, As long as you are, a shooting star. Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now, And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you. Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, Don't you know, don't you know, oh, yeah, you are, Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh oh oh oh oh...... Don't you, don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you don't you know......

[@boromirofmiddleearth557]

do these guys play weddings, proms, bar mitzvahs? play for drinks and a percentage of the house ?

[@LexingtonLabBand]

We do not

[@rayjones3212]

One question - what tuning was the acoustic guitar set to? It appeared to me that he was playing open strings and a lot of single finger bar chords in this video. Just curious. Love the music and your covers. :)

[@LexingtonLabBand]

Ray Jones open A. You use an A string instead of E and then tune low to high A A E A C# E (I think - I’ll check and correct this if I am misremembering)

[@johng6637]

What is the name of the lead singer ? His Steely Dan covers are epic

Bad Company is very hard to cover mostly because of Paul Rodgers vocals but the singer makes it look easy
