I may get grilled for my comment but I enjoy the Brian Howe led version of the band. I know the original line-up is classic and I really enjoy their songs at times but I just enjoy the Howe years a bit more.

 

Brian Howe's version was ever so slightly better. However, Howe doesn't do the best job of singing Rodgers' songs.

"Holy Water" was the first Bad Co album I remember hearing but after going back and hearing much of the Rodgers years it's really no contest IMO as Rodgers is one of the greatest vocalists of all time and those early albums are legendary. I do see the appeal of the later albums with Howe and Hart as they are very good but really much more in a melodic rock vein instead of a classic rock sound.

Saw them live with Brian Howe and they were awesome, but Paul Rodgers is always the main man for me.

The Robert Hart album Company of Strangers is a very good album that got lost in the grunge era. VERY SOLID blues rock, back to the Paul Rodgers

 

:anon: I should have listened to you alot earlier !!!!!!!!

Have to say I now actually agree with you 100% on this :anon::whistle:

I have just recently purchased this along with the Holy Water disc and given them both several spins and IMO, Robert Hart leaves Brian Howe for dead when it comes to the classic :bowdown: Bad Company sound and I was actually very impressed not just with Robert Hart, but also this entire album.

Easily their best post Paul Rodgers album by a mile and I have no problem classing Company Of Strangers as a brilliant album and right up there with some of the other original :bowdown: Bad Company releases.

Howe's voice IMO simply did not suit Bad Company but their sound certainly took a different direction with him at the helm and it was no way for the better.

I was actually blown away by how good Robert Hart is !!!!!!!

glad you enjoyed it. another good album you have added to your collection

 

Certainly do and certainly have :tumbsup:

For those who have not heard it and are like me {One eyed :bowdown: Paul Rodgers only :bowdown: Bad Company} you have got to get this one !!!!!!

Like me you will be very suprised on the similarities between :bowdown: Paul Rodgers and Robert Hart and the band get back to the true :bowdown: Bad Company sound.

This is the best "Non New Release" CD, I have purchased in a long, long time !!!!

Absolutely love it :tumbsup:

Thanks for making me finally see the light with this one :tumbsup:

Brian Howe for me, because I love the track ‘Stranger Stranger’ from ‘Holy Water’ and most of ‘Fame & Fortune’ more than anything else I’ve heard by them. The vocals are very nice on both albums. Might have to check out ‘Dangerous Age’ too…

THIS IS WHY :bowdown: PAUL RODGERS = :bowdown: BAD COMPANY AND BRIAN HOWE DOES NOT...BRIAN HOWE = AOR

 

SOME QUOTES TAKEN FROM THE TOUR

 

 

"Rodgers voice was faultless throughout, in fact his range and power has increased over the years, he is truly a wonder of nature."

 

"Rodgers’s voice remains a finely-honed instrument"

 

"Most impressive was the strength of his voice as he passionately hit note after note with pure conviction, especially on “Simple Man” and “Rock Steady.”

 

 

"Working their way through hits including Feel Like Makin’ Love, Shooting Star and Rock’n’Roll Fantasy they played with an unerring sense of melody and economy that today’s hard rock bands rarely seem able to emulate"

 

"How good is a band that can open with its most recognizable song 'Cant Get Enough' and hold that level of intensity all night long?"

 

"Tonight Bad Company blew everyone away and reminded all of us what it is that makes them such a good band."

 

"With a reportage most bands would envy they cooked from one classic to another"

 

"The band arguably never sounded better."

 

"There is not much that such men do not know about the heritage rock industry and, observing the golden rule of such shows, they gave the audience exactly the songs they wanted to hear, rendered in exactly the way they remembered them."

      I'm happy the do different stuff. Otherwise what they do would get old. Tesla proved how easy it is to make and album have a def Lep feel. And I loved that album, as a one off. And I loved slang as well. Variety is the spice of life 😁

      Def Leppard - Just Like 73

      By tts42572 · Posted

      I agree. Ultimately, I think bands become sort of what they "really" want to become and move toward the "mean" so to speak.  Leppard always said that they wanted to be like Queen in that they weren't constrained by having to make certain types of songs.  It was probably that desire to go outside the box that allowed Pyromania and Hysteria to happen in the first place.   And it's probably what's caused them to jump around with different style songs throughout the years.  I think it would've happened that way regardless.   Who knows though.  Maybe Steve would've influenced things a little bit as his Led Zep and Jimmy Page influences might've trickled in more.  And who knows what could've happened if Mutt stuck around for a couple more albums too....he was probably the most important piece in the puzzle.  They were already changing lanes though even with Steve and Mutt in the fold.  I think they've still shown they're capable of doing more classic sounding stuff if they want to with songs like Promises, Paper Sun, Dangerous, Take What You Want, etc being a few examples.    Either way, I'm just happy they've kept it going for nearly 50 years.  It has to be tough staying inspired and coming up with new song ideas for that long so that's kind of why I think the course they took would've naturally happened either way.
