Bad Company

this came out in 95, grunge era didn't give it a chance. The third singer in the band was a negative for it too. I remember buying the cassette and being dissapointed. I picked up again later and loved it. Now I'v bought it on cd and think it is a really good album. Back to the blues based roots with a new power that harks back to the Paul Rodgers days. anyone else enjoy the album?

AS much as I loved the classic BC, when Brian Howe stepped in and took the band towards a more commerical/AOR direction...I was excited, though I was a little to young to remember the original BC on the air waves, so in turn I grew up listening to Bad Company MACH II.

 

I really dug all 4 albums with Brian Howe, and even enjoyed the live album they released, when it came to replace Howe, I was apprehensive - but the new guy did alright with the two albums they recorded... though it was in the vein of the classic BC, they really did not get a fair shot...which probably lead to the classic line up reuniting.

 

CHEERS!

And that is the simple reason the Howe fronted Bad Company does not appeal to me at all.

To me they just sounded exactly the same as a million other AOR bands and not :bowdown: Bad Company

    • So finally got around to listening to the album (still waiting for CD to arrive but at least a digital version came with the order). This is defo the best album he has released since leaving Skid Row, and is better than anything released by his former band (even the Erik fronted album). I liked his solo stuff, but he was always trying too hard to be modern and heavy, so there were very few actual stand out tracks. On here though it really is more of a throwback. While not quite classic Skid Row, it is probably as close as we will ever get, kinda sitting somewhere sonically between the first two albums. The only downside for me is the fact there is only one ballad and it doesn't even come close to the two that featured on Angel Down. Seb took a long break between this and his previous album, and I think in that time he has taken time to reevaluate what he wants to do musically. As stated earlier, even the album cover is a throwback with it being a painting his father started decades ago. Hopefully any future releases will stick to this style, and not return to the style used on his last few albums.
    • Not sure, but sounds like christian lyrics to me. And could'nt find it on HH yet. 25 years ago I would have loved this, today I'm atheist and do not listen anymore to such... explicit lyrics.

    • I got it for free when I bought the Dirty Americans album. It's a cool little sampler.
    • Ha, I remember them. Good stuff.
    • Better than I expected, honestly, as GUN was never my thing.
    • Agree. Have been a fan of Halestorm and Lzzy....she's fantastic. That said though, this Skid Row thing just feels "off" to me.  She sounds fine but I think it's simply that hearing a female voice do the songs just doesn't seem right after listening to the originals for so long.   I much prefer hearing Lzzy in Halestorm.  I'd rather see her concentrate on that and also concentrate on doing new music that's more in line with their first 2 albums!
    • From memory it was recorded after the original pledge release of Beautiful things and was added as a bonus song when it became available to the general public.
