Bad Company Live " I bought this one for my husband for Christmas and he loves it!. Excellent cd for those of us from "back in the day. Bait and Switch Make sure you read all the details of this album before making the purchase. This album claims to be the best of Bad Company, but it cannot be the `Best of' without Paul Rodgers, in fact Bad Company is not Bad Company without him. I had to send it back!. SAD COMPANY Paul Rodgers put the "Bad" in Bad Co. A misnomer is what you're getting here. with his earthbound, grit-rimmed vocals and climactic lyrical ad-libbing, but once replaced (and I use that term VERY loosely) by pedestrian singer Brian Howe, their shooting star fizzled. This concert cash-in on hits old and new is also minus the rock-steady bottom of bassist Boz Burrell, but Rodgers is the key omission. Better to check out the recent live Bad Co. offering MERCHANTS OF FORTUNE, still featuring only half the original members, but at least one is ex-Free wailer Rodgers. On WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET, early Bad Co. classics FEEL LIKE MAKIN' LOVE and ROCK 'N ROLL FANTASY still rule over latter day fluff HOW ABOUT THAT and NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE, demonstrating how their songwriting also suffered after Paul's exit. As far as classic rock is concerned, this lifeless concert attempt will put you in pretty bad company. RATING: TWO THUDS . Whatever! If you're an original BadCo fan. . . yeah. . . . then this is probably not for you, but please. . . . . . Brain Howe made his own mark and if you can't appreciate that. . . . . you're NO rock fan in anyway. . . . . shape or form!! PERIOD! . . . . . . while this doesn't feature Paul Rodgers the rest of the lineup IS BadCO. . . . . . and they do an excellent job of taking fans on the ride that they were on at that particulart time in thier career! Mick Ralphs sounds great and shows that he can change and stay afloat at a time when there really wasn't much by way of Classic Rockers out there! Simon Kirke is steady as well. . . . . . so if you like live concerts and classic rock. . . . . . then sip a few gin and tonics and appreciate this for what it is. . . classic rockers trying to give their fans some music and still make a living enjoying what God let them do the best while they go through life! Spread the music!. Terrible CD Brian Howe is no Paul Rodgers. I bought this CD, listened to it once and threw it away. The vocals are awful, only slightly better than the mastering. This CD is a travesty. If I could give it 0 stars I would. . You can see a complete list of all Bad Company discography, or go back to the Bad Company tabs
