Have you heard Tom Petty where he sings Breakdown and the crowd takes over? He even says, "y'all gonna put me outta a job"...lol No, is not better than this But is right up there as far as crowd response, I absolutely love them both!
I posted a comment about Jukebox Hero without seeing this, but basically I was saying the same thing. This is the next Foreigner song for a reaction, especially since you've alreading reacted to Shooting Star by Bad Company. They share a similar theme.
I'm sorry but i find very hard to believe that people who reacts to this INCREDIBLE and TIMELESS songs, never heard them before. I'm younger than most of them and from another country and grew up listening to them.
Foreigner was one of the great rock bands of the late-'70s and '80s. Their first four albums are outstanding: * Foreigner (1977) * Double Vision (1978) * Head Games (1979) * Four (1981)
Foreigner is a great British-American rock band who started in 1976. They had a lot of great hits such as "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold As Ice", "Urgent", “Hot Blooded”, "Juke Box Hero", "Waiting For A Girl Like You", "Double Vision", "Blue Morning, Blue Day", "Dirty White Boy", "Head Games", "Break It Up", "That Was Yesterday", "Say You Will", "I Don't Want To Live Without You" etc.
Hot Blooded, Waiting For A Girl Like You, Head Games, Jukebox Box Hero, Urgent, Say You Will, Dirty White Boy, Double Vision, Feels Like The First Time, and Cold As Ice are awesome by Foreigner
Foreigner dedicated this song to the Shriners and the Shrine hospitals for Children. If you browse Google and RU-vid you can find the commercial that the Shrine Hospitals for Children did with Foreigner using this song - magnificent! You might even consider reacting to it!
A few years earlier, they spent 10 weeks at #2 with "Waiting For A Girl Like You." This one that you're reacting to was the song that FINALLY gave them a #1 hit in the USA. If you REALLY want to know what Foreigner was all about, you should try "Feels Like The First Time," and "Jukebox Hero." They finally got inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. It was WELL overdue, since they have been eligible since 2002. They were snubbed all of those years, and finally got the nomination. 😎
This song was a huge hit for Foreigner, but was one of much conflict within the band. Some members did not want to release this song because it was so different from the rest of their music. They wanted to be known as a rock band, not one that sang ballads. The funny thing is that this song became the power ballad of the '80s. As a child of the 1960's and 70's, Foreigner was one of the few bands that I really liked during the 1980's. They made some great music over the late 70's and 80's.
Those were members of the New Jersey Mass Choir singing the vocal background towards the end. They really helped make this track the monster hit that it was (& still is).
One of the all-time great songs. Will always be a classic. No matter how many times you hear this song, you never get tired of it. And the video is outstanding.
I really love the choir at the end of the song. It reminds me of Heart when they sang "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Awards for Led Zeppelin. Great song!
Gramm was the key to this band. Power voice! Had a big hit on his own with Midnight Blue. Feels Like The First Time, Juke Box Hero and Hot Blooded are Foreigner rockers…
Foreigner has so many hits keep on listening to this band. Worth listening to Lou Gramm who is the lead singer. He has a couple of solo albums too. Midnight Blue is definitely worth a listen to
Nice dip into the world of Foreigner. Great group of musicians led by outstanding vocalist in Lou Gramm. I think you can't miss the song "Waiting For A Girl Like You". Phil, you'll need to dedicate that song to Sam. You'll thank me later. Another slower tune Although I'm not sure why the title of many of their songs sound like medical condiitions; Cold as Ice, Hot Blooded, Urgent, Urgent Situation, Double Vision, Head Games, Blinded By Science, Headknocker, The Damage is Done.
4:02 it was in some action movies like “Pacific Rim: Uprising”, “The Hitman’s Bodyguard”, and other movies like “Bad Moms”, “Hot Tub Time Machine”, “Good Luck Chuck”, “Alvin & the Chipmunks the squeakquel”, “Larry the Cable Guy Health Inspector”,
This song was Foreigner's biggest hit song ever!!! The song peaked at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed there for two weeks during the winter of 1985. The New Jersey Mass Choir did the backup vocals. An absolute banger indeed!!!
I remember going to see the Stones around 1978. Peter Tosh opened. Foreigner played second. Then the Stones. I didn't know much about Foreigner, as they were relatively new. They stole the day and I became a Foreigner fan that day. They have a bunch of great songs. Don't be afraid to delve!
This is a great song, but it's a poor representation of the Rock band that Foreigner was. Please do Juke Box Hero, Hot Blooded, Urgent, Double Vision, Headknocker etc..............
Since you've already reacted to Bad Company's song "Shooting Star," I suggest you react to Foreigner's song "Jukebox Hero" next. Thematically, they are very similar.
This song came out in 1984, whereas Agent Provocateur, was founded in London in 1994, No connection. Lou Gramm is awesome; such a powerful voice. Love him!
(The by-play between the two of you was especially adorable today, btw.😉) Lou Gramm is a very underrated vocalist, imo, and if you'd like to hear more of his impassioned vocals, (with some truly stellar sax), try Foreigner's sizzling "Urgent"....urgently, lol!
In a 2016 interview, Foreigner Lead Singer Lou Gramm gave this testimony, In this interview, Lou Gramm describes his Christian conversion. After years of international success as the lead singer for the popular rock group, “Foreigner,” he described his wild life of sex, drugs, and rock and roll spinning out of control. He reconnected with God in prayer. His hit song, “I want to know what love is” took on special meaning. The song reminded him that God loved him and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for his redemption (John 3:16). Afterwards, he checked him and sent His Son, Jesus.
Years ago TV shows and movies used to write original music for the show/picture. In the 80's Miami Vice was one of the first shows to start using popular music in their shows. I Want tto Know What Love is was used in one episode. In the episode the drug dealer was murdering his girlfriend (because she was informing on him) with a hot shot (OD'ing her). While the scene played out, this song played in the background and it really added to the surrealism of the scene. Now everytime I hear this song, I flash back that scene.
People came together at the end. Loving each other regardless of race and color. Much deeper meaning than you are seeing or feeling ❤❤. ❤. Needs to be in our world today 2024
