@thetruthchannel349 5 месяцев назад

Lou's vocal was far above all other American artists including Steve Tyler who was a great rock vocalist & Sting who was a great pop vocalist & Lou's record was produced very well BUT there just weren't any great tunes on that record. Mick was a great writer & Lou was a great vocalist. When those 2 assets are divided between 2 people it can cause issues. The reason Elton & Bernie made it so long - they weren't in a band together. That's one thing I've noticed about the Brits from that era. They were realistic. Americans just aren't that at all.

@kennethnorman8079 5 месяцев назад

The problem with Mick Jones is that very early on in his career, he was a musical director for Johnny Hallyday(the French Elvis) and learned at the master's feet how to be a diva. He apparently has passed that on to Mark Ronson(who never met a video he wouldn't put himself in). They are all very good at making hits and then being unable to recognize anything in their hit formula that isn't a mirror.

@impalaman9707 5 месяцев назад

He was absolutely right to call Mick out on the keys, but the 1980s was a hard time for any band from the 70s to survive commercially. Foreigner wasn't going to compete with the Motley Crues and Guns n Roses for heavy guitar licks, but then they weren't going to compete with Duran Duran for synth pop, either---but that was the route a lot of those bands like REO Speedwagon, Styx, Kansas, Blue Oyster Cult, etc chose to go, and fell flat on their face. 38 Special proved to be successful for most of the 80s just being themselves, but eventually they, too, succumbed to "keyboard fever".

@TheCountofToulouse 5 месяцев назад

It just sounds like Mick Jones wasn't someone who wanted to understand how others were feeling. There's nothing wrong with keyboards in general but the band really did go HARD on them in the 80's. I still like those songs but I understand what Lou is saying. When any member of a band starts to do 'solo albums', it's a bit of a flex, Roth did one while he was in Van Halen, it wasn't long before he was gone. Steve Perry did one and the band really only had one more album before it all fell apart.

But Lou gram wouldn’t be “ Foreigner “ without the other contributing members. It’s a soup of sorts when your players in a band a group effort , if it could be just one person playing nearly everything we call that band “ Boston “ one guy wrote , played ,& produced nearly all the parts in the music lol Just saying !

Although the tumor was benign, the resulting surgery damaged his pituitary gland. In addition, the recovery program had caused Gramm to gain weight, and likewise affected his stamina and voice."....the vocal issues were apparent. That being said...I'm very happy that he's almost all the way back mentally at this point. Not sure if vocally that's the case.

the 80's, for all it's theatrics, was the decade with the best overall rock vocalists. It was tough to compete in that era because of guys like Steve Perry and David Coverdale (yes, one of the best). But LOU GRAMM was one of the most prominent voices of the 80's. His voice was on the radio ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. He is one of the greats, and I wish his split with Foreigner didn't happen, or was more amicable. He went on to have a great couple of solo albums and cemented himself as one of the greats from that era.
