​@iracemadealmeida8579 That's not what happened (1) Lou Gramm made his solo albums READY OR NOT-LONG HARD LOOK because Mick rejected those tunes from being put on Foreigner albums. MIDNIGHT BLUE was trashed by Mick as "NOT a good song. Lou put it on his album it charted at #5 on Billboard and was the most listened to and requested song 🎵 on American radio in 1987. (2) Lou left in 2003 for good because of disagreements with Jones and mostly Jones alcoholism 🍸. Kelly Hansen had nothing to do with their issues. Hansen tried out for Foreigner in 1990 but the band chose JOHNNY EDWARDS (UNUSUAL HEAT 1991) over Hansen and Mark Free (KING KOBRA)

Now that's what I'm talking about... Mick Jones was session guitarist playing on other people's records before he formed Foreigner! And ask Lou Gramm to come down off a roof (Lou was working construction at the time) & be his lead singer, rumor has it that Lou said no several times he had a bad experience & didn't want to go back to music. Foreigner would never have gotten where they are without Lou Gramm!

And if you listen to Lou in other videos, which I have heard/seen several he said Mick wrote many of the songs and Lou, "added to them".

@@StephenDoty84 Actually Lou didn't quit Foreigner until after the Inside Information tour . Lou was so fed up with Mick Jones' control that Lou not only hated "I don't want to live without you " he hated the album and refused to tour . Bud Prager had talked Lou into touring but in 1990 Lou got the hell out of Dodge. He left because even after his solo albums: READY OR NOT (1987) and LONG HARD LOOK (1989) were both successful , Mick Jones still refused to let Lou get his song ideas on even the next Foreigner album which they were planning. But Lou left and Johnny Edwards was brought in and the result was the album UNUSUAL HEAT , which failed because (1) In 1991, Album oriented Rock was no longer welcomed (2) The takeover of Grunge and Gansta RAP (3) Mick knew this but brought Lou back and "Mr.Moonlight (1994) did much worse than Unusual Heat. (5) Kelly Hansen has no hits either , just a tribute singer living off Lous legacy and work plus Hansen gets paid more than Lou ever did for performing the classic hits that Lou helped create.

@@waltersimmons946 = As for regards to (3), record sales count for "Jack" (fuck-all) Crazy Frog held Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" off the top spot - Worse yet was the Joe Dolce Vita novelty song that kept Ultravox & Midge Ure off the No.1 slot in England - Yet both those novelty songs were $hit. Plenty of GREAT tracks on the 1994 "Mr.Moonlight" album, at least FIVE tracks match their best. I only stumbled onto that album purely by chance, when visiting the UK's largest stationers & bookstore. Certainly was never given much (any?) publicity over here, although "White Lie" was played. I'm a lifelong hardcore Foreigner fan & grew-up buying/listening/adoring their first four albums. Even I thought they'd broken-up by 1994 - (Remember folks, no internet back then, as such, or barely) Agreeing with ya as regards to (2) Feel you're being VERY harsh as regards to (5) = I mean WTF is Kelly supposed to do ?????? He sings well (GREAT) - see below.... Let's face facts - Foreigner will NEVER recapture the glory days of 1978-1985 again, regardless. Mick did what Brian did (with Queen) & kept HIS band going I'd MUCH rather they all woulda "hung up their spurs", but they didn't - Their call Lou was NEVER gonna match the dizzy heights of his best, esp' after his Brain tumour episode (etc) Kelly DOES NOT deserve the (unnecessary) FLAK that he gets from so-called 'fans' (who aren't true) Bands AGE & line-ups change, 'cest la vie I thought Genesis turned $HIT when Peter Gabriel left & then Steve Hackett too The 'cheese pop' synth era of Phil Collins sucked anus, big time, so I bailed on 'em My only regret about Foreigner was, that "others" view "I Wanna Know" etc as their pinnacle For me, I MUCH prefered the hard-hitting Foreigner of earlier years, esp' with Ian McDonald (RIP) BTW = I absolutely LOVE Lou Gramm (platonically speaking), but he's past his prime, sadly (vocally)
@waltersimmons946
@waltersimmons946 Год назад
@Hawny Fox I'm really not against Kelly Hansen, but as good a singer he's proven to be. He really should have had a few hits of his own. You mentioned Lou was past his prime? I agree, but Hansen came into the band almost near 45 years old (He was 44 in 2005) . The radio establishment stops playing or promoting bands like Styx, Boston , Foreigner, Journey, etc. Once the band members hit 40 yrs old. They're dismissed as relics and reduced to classic rock status played on classic rock stations. So I wasn't being hard on Kelly he came into Foreigner way past his prime, and now he's 61 and has admitted the Foreigner song catalog is harder to sing because of his age. I really respect his honesty, but he should've some had hits of his own. Jason Scheff, who replaced Peter Cetera came into Chicago's band at 23 yrs old and he actually had a few hits of his own but Jason was in his prime, though eventually Chicago also got older and was reduced to classic rock status. Mr. Moonlight, I knew when it came out it wasn't gonna go far because it didn't rock like Unusual Heat with Johnny Edwards, which charted even better than Mr. Moonlight. Also, Mr. Moonlight didn't have that fire like Foreigners' first four albums before "I want to know what love is " came out on their fifth album. Lou singing was great on "Moonlight," but the songwriting partnership of JONES/GRAMM died when Lou left Foreigner in 1990. Like fast food once it gets cold, you reheat it, but somehow it doesn't taste the same.
@hawnyfox3411
@hawnyfox3411 Год назад
​@@waltersimmons946 Think we (you & I), disagree on the "died in 1990" bit - (songwriting partnership) I'm absolutely astonished that "Mr.Moonlight" contained as many 'Good/Strong/Fine' songs as it did Sure there's a couple of turds on there (Big Dog anyone ?) & some mystifying 45rpm choices too. "Hole In My Soul" alone is worth the admission price on it's own - Great track, soulful & powerful. "I Keep Hoping" is both VERY emotional & powerful & sees Lou again at his finest. I often wonder "if" that's the best track on a strong album (?) but there are at least SIX tracks I like. Tracks 1,2,4,5,8,9 - Any one of those is as strong as their earlier stuff, albeit 1994 You mentioned "classic rock stations" For ME they ARE the death knell of Rock Music - same $hit day-in, day-out Only so many times you can hear "Won't Get Fooled Again" or the dreaded "Hotel California" I believe radio listeners in the USA have FAR better tastes than the idiots over THIS side of the Atlantic Yeah sure, we have Rock Music fans here too, but far too many are like sheep, staple diet, etc. It actually grieves me that "Mr.Moonlight" went below the radar - (more like a submariner !!!) Lastly, for me, Mick Jones' propensity for the sickly ballard was like taking Mogadon (listening to..) That's as to 'why' Mr.Moonlight album pleased me so much, well-crafted songs again (but publicly ignored Best track on "Inside Information" (for me) was the raunchy & superb track "The Beat of My Heart" It restored my faith (1987) that Foreigner could still deliver the torpedoes to hit-hard-as-nails (antidote to the lame & dreary "I Don't Wanna Live" - oh the irony of those first four-words !!!!) But at least (here in London), Atlantic actually bothered promoting "Inside Information" (billposters) That clearly didn't happen in the U.K for 1994's "Mr.Moonlight" & I'll assume the same for the U.S.A ??

@Farang Explorer Actually the Jones/ Gramm writing "partnership" started to fade when the band went from 6 to 4 people. According to Lou Gramm the writing credits ratio between the 2 (men) were mostly 50/50 up until the HEAD GAMES Album, remember original band members Ian McDonald and Al Greenwood were ousted because they really were trying to get more of their songs on the albums and Jones was already very controlling even back then. McDonald' and Greenwood were still members of the band when work started on the 4 album till their firings in September 1980. During the 4 album problems over songwriting ratios/ credit began actually over the song "URGENT" but manifest more with "I want to know what love is" Lou was offered only 5% and Mick gave himself 95% but Lou told Mick out of anger "Take it all you SOB, and Mick did, he took the whole 100% that lead to Lou's SOLO Albums and Solo career . "Midnight Blue" was offered to the band but Mick trashed and rejected the song Lou put the song out as a SOLO tune, it shot up the charts, to number#5 and was the most requsted/listen to song on American radio in 1987. Inside Information, Lou didnt like the album and never pulled his punches about, "I dont want to live without you" he hated the song and Farang , theres no live concerts or videos ever of Lou performing that tune. The reason why they couldnt come up with current catchy song it's because the magic they had to create had long faded and Lou said this when he quit Foreigner again in 2003 and also bands like Foreigner, Journey, Styx, Toto etc . By 1994 they were regulated to CLASSIC Rock stations so mainstream radio was under orders to play/promote new bands GRUNGE/GANSTA RAP so New songs by these CLASSIC bands didn't have a chance. So Kelly Hansen? God bless him but hes a karaoke tribute singer thats paid to sing live, they won't sell millions of albums anymore even with him up front.

Lou is as bitter as ever about Mick Jones taking the whole 100% ratio writing credits for "I want to know what love is" he said he never got a penny for even singing that song . He was also unhappy with Kelly Hansen when they shared the stage , saying Hansen "Talked too much " by not letting Lou take any opportunity to speak to the fans and personally thanking them for coming to the reunion concert.

When I played for him "I want to know what love is " he cried. He said is was a beautiful song, I agree. His other favorite song of my generation was Kansas's "Dust in the wind ". My father is 80 now and suffering from dementia for the past 8 years. I played for him " I want to know what love is" just last week, again. He cried once more... I asked him if he knew what band that was and he thought about it for a minute, then said Foreigner? I cried. Thank you Foreigner and Mr. Jones for your music and wonderful memories with my dad.

There's a really cool interview on YT where he goes in-depth and describes everything he went through with his brain tumor and what he had to do to start singing again. what got me looking into Lou's condition was unfortunately I was diagnosed in May with a brain Tumor myself . I'm 43 and I would listen to Foreigner on the way to all my doctor appointments . So one day I went on RU-vid being curious as to what the guys were up to recently , I found out the information about Lou. One of the things that I thought was very interesting as a believer and a Christian is that he shared his faith and explained how he turned his heart and life over to the Lord ( his exact words) and I thought that was pretty neat for a rock star to admit such a thing. It was cool and brave to see that he wasn't ashamed of King Jesus.

If Mick is telling the truth here, why would he NOT refute all of Lou's claims on this??? To me, that is very telling.

Lou did more than just sing in Foreigner. He's also the backing voice on Bryan Adam's song 🎵 CUTS LIKE A KNIFE , Lou refused to take any pay from helping out Adam's who was in a desperate situation to get his album done before the deadline because his studio singers got sick during the recording of his album.

I played in a band that fronted for Foreigner in Elizabethtown, Kentucky before Mick's illness. I can tell you that the version of Foreigner that night was absolutely stunning. They were the real deal. The only regret I have is that I was in such awe of this band that I didn't have the nerve to approach Mick and introduce myself and meet the rest of the guys in the band. If you ever get to see them I can promise you won't be disappointed.

Lou was Amazing but Mick Jones was really the quiet genius behind most of Foreigner's success. Great to see him still rocking after all these yrs. Btw, Mick has produced some great albums over the yrs including - Van Halen's 5150 (1986) and Billy Joel's Storm Front (1989). Also found out that his stepson is Mark Ronson - the musician who wrote the recent hit "Uptown Funk" and which featured vocals from Bruno Mars.

Without Jason Bonham on the bill, I may have passed on this show. Glad he was there and that I didn't pass. AWESOME SHOW !!! If I didn't know Robert Plant's vocals, then the singer would have been plenty impressive. Whitesnake was filler for me .... Foreigner ROCKED THE HOUSE !! Had Bonham not been there and I knew the performance from FOREIGNER, I would surely have regretted missing this show !! Glad we went !! WORTH EVERY CENT and more !!

Jones forgot to tell about how he took 95% of the writing proceeds for that iconic ballad though, and suggested Gramm get 5% - because he KNEW it would be the gigantic hit it was and still is. When every other song was 50/50 or 60/40, or along those lines. THAT'S what caused the split. Now, admittedly, I'm getting that from Lou's mouth here on YT, but I'll say this; Foreigner is NOTHING and would have been NOTHING without Lou Gramm. I was twenty years old when Foreigner came out, and being from Buffalo I was intrigued that a local rock guy from sixty miles down interstate 90 in Rochester was the lead singer, and he was INCREDIBLE. EVERYONE loved that band and mostly because the lead singer was simply amazing. I'm glad Jones at least gave him credit on that song though, since they both worked for MONTHS on it. Gramm told him to keep it all, and Jones did. I will say it's nice to say that he has some realizations about the past,, and I do wish him the best.

He fought and fought and fought to try to get that voice back. He never did get his voice back completely but at least Nick gave him a chance to be with the band until he retired. And I am very happy about that
