Lou Gramm OPENS UP On His Current Relationship With MICK JONES 

Lou Gramm is a legend. Nobody will remember Mick Jones.

What a nice guy. Very impressed. His voice was incredible.

Lou has to be one of the best vocalists in rock music.

Lou was,is and will ALWAYS be Foreigner 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing. Lou Gramm has such a marvellous voice, writes wonderful songs and fronted Foreigner and his own band so beautifully. I also saw his Shadow King debut in London-he was great, but the crowd sucked! He deserves to be lauded as one of the elite Rock singers. Alas, his horrible health issue from the 90’s robbed us. One of the greats.

Lou is a great songwriter and is one of the greatest singers ever. So much energy and could motivate you all the way thru. He sang deep in his heart and worked hard to make foreigner very successful. He knew how to entertain a crowd. He is a great rocker and gentlemen . Foreigner would have never reached the heights as it did. Mick should listen to Lou because Lou has a special gift that not many people have.

Lou, your voice at the beginning of "Cold As Ice" is unbeatable.

Back in the day, Lou was the best singer on the planet. Lou should have been cherished by Mick. What a shame. Lou is such a class act.

When I think of the band it is Lou Gramm and his wonderful voice. He deserves a ton of credit.

Lou sounds like a gentleman. What a tremendous singer. Came across some early live Foreigner performances on YT recently. Absolutely immaculate rocking performances.

Great interview with Lou Graham

I was never the biggest Foreigner fan or of Lou Gramm. But I always had tremendous respect for their talent. Had even more when I heard Lou Gramm sing live. He is the real deal.

Lou IS one of the GREATEST Rock vocalists of all Time!

Many fans of Lou have never heard of Lou's supergroup Shadow King. The group recorded one album and performed only one(?) live show. IMHO it is the best example of the genius of Lou's writing and was the pinnacle of Lou's contribution to rock music.

Dear Lou, you are more than my favorite Rock vocalist. Being a kind, humble and wise man with a big heart, you always be a good role model to me. It's so hard to find in this industry like show business. A lot of money, fame or power don't change a person, but discover his real human nature. Kindness is the greatest wisdom. God bless you, Louis! 🌷🎼

Great rock vocals! This first Foreigner album was and still is amazing! Long , long away from home What songs back at the 70s but still fresh! Congrats for another interesting interview.

This is a very direct response from someone whose 'sense of being betrayed' is all to transparent! That said the colossal achievements that have gone before will hopefully always count for something, and this could be the opportunity to 'bury the hatchet'!!

I love Lou Graham. He is my favorite rock ‘n’ roll. I got a chance to meet him at the Edgewater in Laughlin signed my shirt and I did tell him I’ve loved him since I was 10 years old.

The great "Rock" voice of a wonderful expansive library of songs/hits. And besides those facts, you have to love his frankness of answering a question thoroughly. He doesn't sugarcoat a thing, leaves nothing for the imagination or the need to ask a follow-up. Very very "refreshing" in this PC world.!

One of the best rock bands in modern history

I never really cared much for Foreigner but what a really nice, genuine person Lou Gramm seems.

Incredible vocalist Lou is in my opinion the best ever rock singer

In the very early 80s I had a cousin who I was best friends with totally disrespect me. I was 20 and wasn't even invited to his wedding for someone unknown reason? We never talked for nine years, and then? another five years, and then? now its been over twenty plus years and we've never made up just cordial when we have spoke like meeting a former work colleague nothing more. You can tell Lou felt betrayed my Mick but even as a Christian it still burns in him. Millions of dollars lost and a once good friendship

Not to mention how Mick totally shafted Lou on their biggest hit.

I hope they do get inducted into the rock hall, would be nice to see them on stage together one last time

❤ You Midnight Lou!Oh,Oh!That's All ya Need!Your The The Best!Take care,now!

And you got all the recognition Mr. Graham you’re the best

Saw Lou a few times in those Beatles tribute shows with Todd Rundgren..he was fabulous

Happy birthday to Lou! 🎂

Saw lou Feb 9 in NJ he put his heart and soul into the show did a fine job with every hit he sang

I saw them in the early 90's with Lou & Mick at the legendary Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ. It was such a good show!

Happy 74th bday Lou 🎉

I love that Shadow King album!

Love you so much Lou.

I think there is a distinct possibility that Mick has an alternate nickname that rhymes very closely with Mick.....

Glad people are hearing this.

Mick should do the decent thing and give Lou the credit he deserves for their biggest hit. Unfortunately can’t see it happening.

Lou Gramm could just flat-out sing. Amazing.

Lou is one of the best singers in the business, he can still hold a tune as well.

Praying they get in and hopefully Lou can patch things up with Mick!

"Lou le grand" ❤❤

One of the Best to ever do it. = Phenomenal vocalist.

Money, ego, jealousy, and vanity, are the usual culprits of a band's breakdown. Still Lou and Mick both deserve the recognition of being in the top tier of legendary talented artists.

what a great singer he was ! but hes 74 , and his voice is far away but sure he will be THE foreigner singer for ever !

Lou deserved to be treated much better by Mick J. That was a great injustice.

Class act and I’m pretty sure after the final mix on what Love is and I get a piece of paper with 5% for me the handwriting on the wall was then and there. There is nobody who could have sung that tune or any of foreigners hits better than Lou,and that whole 5% thing goes beyond disrespectful and I would have walked away then and there after spitting in Jone’s face

Common Lou so Mic made the money and you got the IMOTALITY of the songs to live forever in your voice .. You got the better deal !

Shadow King CD! Lou sings his ass off!! Great band with Lou, Vivian Campbell, Kevin Valentine and Bruce Turgon.

But did Lou try to contact Mick Jones? Surely it works both ways.

Phone calls go both ways. Maybe Mick is thinking the same thing “never heard from him again”

lou is one of the best singers of all time the first six foreigner are classics must amit was not that keen on some of the material on mr moonlight perhaps they came full circle at that point also i love lous two solo albums ready or not and long hard look classic stuff over the years ive really missed a new foreigner album with lou on it unusual heat and i cant slow down were ok but nowere as good as the ones that lou recorded with the rest of the band

Jones himself is quite ill now.

Mick ended their relationship, unfortunately,I like lou ❤

should have took the 20% for "Love Is" 😉

Ask the same questions to Mick Jones and he might say that he hasn't heard from Lou. "Yeah, we had a great time but I've not heard from him since." Maybe VRP Rocks can reunite these two gents.

Does anyone here know the Paul McCartney video they mentioned and can post a link?

Wait what???? Never heard from Mick what happened to 2018 reunion show??

It's too bad that Mick Jones really did him wrong. Too oftentimes, money gets in the way of a great relationship and serves to undermine what that relationship was. Lou is a mensch and an honest man. It's about damn time he's getting into the RRHOF along with the rest of the original lineup of Foreigner.

Keeping in touch works both ways. Just saying

Lou is a real musician - it is what he does. Mick is just riding Lou's coat tails.

I'm a little confused, on PBS I saw a foreigner on PBS it was a concert feature called Then and Now music from 2017. The performance assembled the The performance assemble the bands current and original lineups Then both incarnations join together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the groups double vision album Then both incarnations join together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the group's double vision album. The concert line up featured original members Lou grant Al Greenwood Dennis Elliott Ian McDonald and Rick Wills alongside Mick Jones, and the foreigner's newest lineup featuring Kelly Hansen Tom kimball Jeff Wilson n Michael Bluestein Jeff wattson and Chris Frazier..... That was the 1st time the foreigner supergroup assembled though they've joined forces. Lou and mick clearly were on stage together playing , but that Is not mentioned in this video presentation. They did share the stage there, and showed camaraderie between each other.

Unfortunately many people "compartmentalize" their relationships. They choose to associate with you for a season then they break away. Same thing between Mick and Lou. It's strange. Its happened to me.

Sad part is the Jensen speaker industry made millions off there albums .

There would be no "Foreigner" if there hadn't been Lou Gramm on vocals. As for ver 2.0 Band it's like a cover band of the original. Example: Journey without Steve Perry. Great white without Jack Russel. Little river band without the original line up and so on and on.

saw lou at saratoga ny was great show!!

Yes, Mick wronged Lou. It’s also very evident that Lou is holding a grudge.

I haven't seen Lou for a long long time and he sure looks different now . He looks more like French actor Gérard Depardieu than the Lou I know.

Mick is about business and making money. Lou needs to understand this.

Taurus with a scorpio moon lou Cancer with mars in Cancer(and Uranus) mick Water and Earth make mud ,for a band to work You have some fire and air in the mix I've seen so many bands break up because one guy really controls the publishing.But all of that is water under the bridge they could get together and write a song to get the young voters out to vote . Future

Hall already come on

Mick Jones , reportedly, it has been revealed that he has PARKINSONS DISEASE. 😮😮😮

Mick was greedy, why, no idea, he would have still been rich if he had shared more with Lou. He will regret that.

Sadly it's likely about money.

Mick Jones is a narcissist! And this says it all about him! He got rich like Lou said playing in Foreigner. And he was the only one that got rich!

F me one not twice.

Mick has a huge EGO. Lou should reach out to him and be the better person

Lou Graham is foreigner Kelly Hansen can sing and I like Kelly Hansen he’s not Lou Graham but that’s the new foreigner Lou Graham made foreigner without Lou Graham there would be no foreigner

Lou went back to Foreigner everytime he left after complaing Mick would take all the cash and credit for both of their work. Lou is the fool.

Nor should you be Lou

What a complete bastard Mick Jones is. The way he screwed Lou is unforgivable.

Mick wrote 100% of that song. Lou wrote 0%. Lou wanted 40% of the writing credit. Mick offered 20%. Lou told Mick to shove it! That's the truth about that situation. And from Lou's own mouth. In another video he made on YT. There are more details that aren't heard here! There are 2 sides to every story...and the TRUTH!

Notice how he's constantly diffusing responsibility and makes himself out to be a victim. "I never heard from them." "They never contacted me." How about you humble yourself once and make contact.

I wonder how much money Lou Gramm is Worth?

Mick Jones sounds like a greedy piece of work to me...

Not sure why he thinks Mick would reach out, after walking away from the band. He put everyone's livelihoods in jeopardy, by walking away from a money making machine. And Gramm should consider the silence from Mick over the years, as a blessing. If it was me, Gramm would still be getting extremely insulting voicemails every week reminding him what a short sighted idiot he was for walking away.

Big cry baby…read ur contract

It's astonishing how people can throw friends away, which could be eternal, for a little earthly wealth. You're all gonna DIE and you take nothing away. People who have died tell how important it is to NEVER make ANYTHING you do about money, you know what they say about the 'love of money'. What Mick did was evil and it spawned contempt, resentment and distrust. Oh, what a fool to throw away a friend over money.

Mick Jones sounds like a greedy piece of work to me...
