Great interview and Lou is a legend! I'll never see the current Foreigner because there is NO Foreigner without Lou!
Absolutely
✨ You're damn straight on that one ✅
I wouldn't see Foreigner again after I saw them. It's not the same especially now that not a single person from the debut album is in the band. It's just a business name now. It should have been like some other classic rock bands that disbanded with the loss of the original members
Lou Graham is an Icon. You couldn't turn on the radio in the 70s and the 80s without hearing his voice. Seriously, Foreigner without Lou is like Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant! And I find it astounding that foreigner is not in the Rock N Roll hall of Fame!
Gramm*
Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. If it all political then heck with it. Foreigner, Moody Blues..both passed over.
Lou just gave you the story. In a nutshell it’s politics, like a lot of people, including myself suspected.
Lou is a legend and
the HOF should be burned to the ground if Foreigner isn't worthy. Beyond any sense of reason or logic to exclude them. Disgusting.
@@johnbir7509 Hall of lame...
Soooo glad Lou is healthy again! He will always be the reason I loved Foreigner. There is No Foreigner without Lou; he made the band. He is the Voice! xx
The band's greatest asset, and they treated him like he was just an employee. I can totally respect his decision to leave them.
I wish Lou had stayed solo after SHADOW KING.
How can Foreigner NOT be in the Rock Hall of Fame? It’s a disgrace!
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a private foundation, and they do arbitrary things.
It's not about voting by the public. It's all BS. Fuqq them.
Hall of Fame is joke anyway, Look who in it
Agreed
@@mikejones5364 Agreed! To me they lost all creditbility when they inducted the Beastie Boys...
Foreigner and Lou Gramm should be in the Rock & Roll hall of fame. If they aren’t, then it’s not really a hall of fame.
Mick wasn’t going to include Lou and the other original members. Thats was the reason for the big blow out with the Hall of Fame. If the HoF had bowed to Mick’s demands, it would be a Hall of Fame without Lou Gramm. Now that would be a real shame
Man, the more Lou speaks, the more I am in utter awe and respect of everything hes accomplished and been through.
Awe mannn....7 minutes and 24 seconds of Lou ain't enough! This guy is a facinating legend!
Lou Gramm is the best vocalist in rock music, Period! They should have been in a long time ago!
Where would you rate Steve Perry? Just wondering.
Perry is great, but his pitch is tooooo high and sweet. Gramm's voice is high, robust and raspy. He is the epitome of a rock singer.
Top 3 for sure.
Only cheesy DJs and burnt out old women care about that dump.
Darling Lou, You are so very loved, honored and revered by us all. Your gift to us is something that we can never repay or thank you enough for.
Madonna and Janet Jackson are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for Pete's sake! What a joke! Love Lou Gramm. I have great memories of seeing Foreigner in the 80s! I would never see them again, not without Lou.
We love you, Lou and you deserve to be present at any Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction...your fans want you there!!! 😍🤩
Hot Blooded, Jukebox Hero and White Lie are probably my three faves too. Plus Waiting for a girl like you and Urgent + so many 😎⭐️
Lou congrats you are doing better, love your voice, and songs🙂✌️💜
Love Lou Graham, top notch humble personality
I’m very much enjoying these Lou gramm interviews! As a teenager in the 80’s enjoying the music ! The professional side of a band I wouldn’t of completely understood back then! Mick should not of done Lou that way! Mick had lightning in a bottle with Lou as a awesome vocalist! Rock on⚡️⚡️⚡️
I'm 73, and you never know what's hiding inside your body until you're a little older, then.....
I have to compliment you for letting Lou Gramm speak freely about what really happened with Foreigner. As I said in another post, it is refreshing to hear the truth and not the public relations angle that we often get. I remember that whole period when Lou had the tumor and how he came back rather quickly but was clearly disabled. Management once again showed little compassion and a ruthless sense of business. Lou was hailed as a "trooper" but this whole ordeal reminds me of the one with Journey and Steve Perry and his hip replacement and Styx and Dennis DeYoung and his health issues around the turn of the century. Critics dubbed many of these bands as "Corporate Rock" in the 80s because of their huge operations and great success. But it sounds like they were also largely run like corporate operations as well. All of us who have worked in corporate settings know how little time they give you for serious health concerns or other personal matters. In the corporate world you are a cog in a machine and must be productive or you must be deleted. I guess it could be said that it was kind that they didn't immediately fire Lou after his surgery but my guess is they did not have a replacement singer immediately available. All these stories that are emerging over time just remind me how unique a band like RUSH truly were in that when one of them endured personal hell they simply stopped and waited and when that person endured cancer then death, they retired the band. That is principled and so very rare in this world. Thank you for this interview John.
Love you Lou Gramm ❤💙♥💓
💯💝🙏🛐🥰😘🤗👏👏👏👏👏
LOU GRAMM Thank God you're still not to old too Rock and Roll... Thank you for your documentation of Rock and Roll history...
By rights, Foreigner should be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, based on their track record alone. Not to mention having everyone together to perform their classic hits on stage there.
Absolute rock gods the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Lou Granmatica is a beast and probably top 5 vocalists of all time
It’s a biased good ole boys club
The response to Foreigner and the RRHOF is the same response Styx and a few others got. Jann Wenner has his whims. I asked John Beaudin of Rock History Music if he would interview Mr. Wenner about the RRHOF and he said it was not of interest to him.
2of the original 6 have passed away.
Love these interviews with Lou. Foreigner should have been in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame a long time ago. Lou Graham is one of the best rock and roll singers of all time God bless Lou Graham 🙏
I will never never like the Foreigner without you Lou Gramm. You are one of a kind. I wish God gave me the voice like yours. Salute!
Lou Gramm is the man! I hope you post more from him soon. Thank you, John, for this great channel!
Lou Gramm- good man! John- good interview series. Kudos!
Lou Graham....I can't think about the late 70's and 80's without Lou ...My wife and I listened to and danced to Foreigner...
This man and the band should have been the R&R Hall of Fame years ago..
Love you ...Lou..!!
Thanks for the interviews and very insightful empathic questions, comments and feedback for Lou. Great job.
I hope he does...after all he was the voice of "Foreigner" 🎤🎼🎶🎶🎼🎸
Great video, great interview style John. Love Lou Gramm and how candid he is. You captured his essence very well.
I would have really love to hear Lou talk about "Waiting for a Girl Like You".
I am a huge fan of Lou Gramm and Foreigner. I've heard so many of these types of stories from many famous groups and it never fails to depress me how guys can turn on one another after the monumental struggle every band has to go through to make it. I never knew why Lou Gramm who is one of my favorite rock front men left the group. Thanks again, John B, for a great interview.
Words can't describe how much of a awesome man Mr.Lou. is...
Lou Gramm, you are still an Amazing singer!!
Thanks for all the memories. Do the hall and rock they're socks off brother. Keep rockin
Always a Lou fan
I love Lou Gramm!
RnRHOF: I've been waiting, for a BAND like you.
Lou Gramm: You'll wait til I'm ready.
IMO Lou was the best rock vocalist of his time! He’s a true rock legend! 👊
You know with all the fame and fortune Lou Gramm is still a down to earth outstanding human being, I have the utmost respect for Lou.
His solo albums are amazing - thank you Lou
Long Hard Look is my favorite.
Only I know when it's Over...and Broken dreams got me through a tough summer.
when i look at lou ..
i remeber that song.... it feels like the first time
which was my favorite by them.
such good memories with that song
Foreigner deserves to be in the rock n roll HOF
Yes, if anyone deserves to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame it’s Foreigner
Love me some Foreigner! will always love and respect Lou Gramm
Lou Gramm…….one of the first records I owned as an elementary school kid was Foreigner 4 and Juke Box Hero touched me. The drums, the guitar, and the astounding energy of Lou Gramm’s voice! I am in my 50’s now and have been taking guitar lessons. My teacher just yesterday pulled up Double Vision and wanted me to give it a shot. I instantly became an 11 year old kid coming back full circle with a guitar in his hand! That one guitar!
God Bless you Lou Gramm! A Juke Box Hero!!!!!
they want to make room for all rap and hiphop
I saw Foreigner in Biloxi,MS during my senior year of HS in 84 or 85. I remember they hired a local church choir to back them on “I Want To Know What Love Is”. Man that was a great show. Lou’s vocals were really soaring back then
Lou G IS Foreigner period one of the most iconic voices in Rock and Roll PERIOD. Without him it’s just a cover band playing Foreighner
An absolute travesty that Foriegner is not in the Rock Hall! The gatekeepers are what continue to make the R&R Hall a joke to real ROCK fans!🥁
Well said
The "gatekeeper" is Jann Wenner, former editor/founder of Rolling Stone Magazine. He has some very strong views on who should be in the RRHOF. If they don't fit his POV, they will never be there.
@@spuwho Janet Jackson is in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It is a joke.
Lou is legendary. I worked at the American Brain Tumor Association in the ‘90s when Lou was diagnosed.
There’s NO Foreigner without him.
The first 45 I ever bought was ‘Jukebox Hero.’
I hope Lou can let go of the bad juju and be happy for this confirmation of his talent!
This guy had such a good voice he is so great and four and a half so many many hits every song they do is fantastic head knocker, Rev on, those are just a couple of songs that you never hear on the radio you hear a couple of their hits but they have so many many hits love that band
Love this story with Lou Gramm and Foreigner the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they are a well-deserved band in 2019 in Montreal March the 12th I didn't have a ticket some guy offered me one so I was able to see the show I really enjoyed it a lot Jukebox Hero favorite songs Dirty White Boy cold as ice Waiting for a Girl Like You 🥰
Mick is greedy! Lou deserved better!
I ❤ this band Foreigner hoping they get inducted for the fans Rock and Roll Hall of Fame time is moving forward now is the time 💘🥰💘
Lou is my favorite rock singer and such a fine human being.
Lou and the WHOLE original lineup should be in there already. Lou IS one of the best rock vocalists of all time. That voice is one of the reasons I decided playing the guitar was my best way to be involved with music. LOL!
Yes! With Ed G. (RIP2014) and now Ian M. (RIP2022) Gone that only leaves Alan, Dennis, Rick, Mick and Lou. Induct before the magic and memories are gone forever?
The original lineup plus Rick wills
Lou made Foreign great
He IS one of the top rock singers ever period
I figured this out about 8 years ago.
Range,Power,Presence
Thank You Lou
good for you lou,keep the fight!!!!gods with you and all your fans!!!!
John, it seems Lou has been through the ringer. I can understand he is not happy with Mick Jones. To me, him and Steve Perry were the consumate vocalists in their prime.
Lou Gramm is a Rock ICON!!!
And to hear him speak about how awful he was treated breaks my heart, ESPECIALLY for the fact of his brush with death and NO ONE seemed to care that was around him at the time.😢
Drugs and alcohol destroys success!!!💀
That's the music business for you. (Singing) Money, money, money, moneyyyyyy!
Just proves that the RRHF is nothing but a political organization. Foreigner was an incredible band and should have been in the Hall of fame a long time ago. I love Foreigner and Lou Gramm!
I like lou gramm great guy. i like waiting for a girl like you, i don't wanna live without you love, urgent, say you will my favourite songs.
Thnx so much for all you do John! Lou Gramm is so loved here in the states 🇺🇸 ❤️
Thank you!! I did not know the hell Lou Gramm went through. Still one of the best Rock singers ever! The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame is a sham. Great concept, yet poorly executed and managed I love your work!!
Agreed100 and I didn’t know until I watched Lou graham give an interview last night talking about how greedy n how horribly mick ripped him off on His songs 😭including I want to know what love is🤬mick was just cruel n evil period!
@@williambergman3840 Isn't that a shame? Foreigner has some of the most well crafted songs and records in rock history. For there to be so much animosity and strife in a group that churned out hit after hit just boggles the mind. Sadly, I've heard nothing but bad sh*t about Mick Jones. :(
Along with Walsh, Mercury & Perry, Lou is one of the best ever!
👊🏻😎🙏🏼
Love ya Lou 😘
The Rock Hall of Shame is a tax dodge for Jann Werner and his pals. It's a Badge of Honor NOT to be in it.
Lou..you are a jukebox hero! Thankyou for the great tunes you provided over the yrs! You were Foreigner …without your voice a band is only elevator music! You are special to real people that ever grew up to your voice! Lots of energy there! Great stuff but sorry that people only see things when its later in life! I mean your fans! You are forever in my Rock n Roll hall of Fame!
I saw Foreigner in the mid-70s. It may have been their first US tour. as they were the warmup for Foghat. They owned Foghat on the strength of Lou’s voice. He was phenomenal.
Great idea with the PayPal donation option ! Poor Lou. I hadn’t seen him in ages and I feel badly he seems in bad spirits.
Lou and I talked about our brain tumor removals when his solo band came to Springville, Utah quite some time ago. Every day is a challenge and there are zero support groups for those of us who survive.
maybe you could start a support group for tumor survivors? Just a thought
Read Lou Gramm's autobiography, it is excellent.
Lou Gramm. Paul Rogers. Steve Perry. Brad Delp. All stadium rock icons and just amazing.
I live in a small town 20 miles east of Rochester NY ware Lou is from.me and my best friend would go see him when he was in a group called. Black Sheep.from Rochester NY.they were good back then.but Lou had a chance to go to N YC for a try out with Mick Jones.so his band mates said go for it.he loves old class cars. And has some. My good friend has a body shop and has done some work for Lou.i have meat him before the operation and after it. He is always been very nice guy . Down to earth.he will some things for you.i see him at car shows all summer. Grate voice.one of the best in rock and roll.for sure. Keep ROCKING Lou✝️☮️
I completely agree with Lou Gramm on this matter. It's really disappointing to see the current singer of Foreigner disrespecting Lou Gramm like that. Lou Gramm's contribution to the band, both as a vocalist and a co-writer, cannot be undermined. The new singer should remember his place and that he's not the original voice behind those iconic tracks and should show more respect to the band's history. It's akin to someone filling in for Steven Tyler and then treating him dismissively when he makes a return appearance. This situation reminds me of Ringo Starr's words to the bassist/singer who portrayed Paul McCartney in the original Beatlemania tribute show. Ringo's statement backstage when he met him was, "Hi, but I know the real McCartney". I believe this encapsulates the sentiment here.
Lou is awesome. OMG, what a voice. He and Mick together were dynamite. Their parting is a shame.
I don’t see Foreigner getting into the Hall so it’s a mute point. Don’t get me wrong I would
Love to see Foreigner, Styx, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent and Jethro Tull get in but the Hall has shown their hatred of 70’s arena rock. Along with Progressive Rock, Southern Rock, Hair Metal and Heavy Metal.
"moot point"
Those memories for Lou are as fresh as yesterday; that is what trauma can do to a person. From betrayal from Mick to their drug ridden selfishness, it is obvious Lou was living in a hell.
Lou Gramm has always been and will always be "The Voice of Foreigner" for me and many others. He is truly a legend in his own time. A year ago my mother had a cancerous brain tumor successfully removed, and we are still not out of the woods because she is still under close observation by her doctors. I pray for her, and for guys like Lou because it is an ongoing ordeal.
Wow that interview was amazing!
I worked for the band, and if Lou says it, IT IS TRUE ALWAYS , HE WAS THE MOST REAL DOWN TO EARTH ,HUMBLE MAN IN ROCK , THE TRUTH SETS HIM FREE FROM THE REST. MAY GOD BLESS HIS HEALTH AND GIVE HIM PEACE WITH HIS DECISIONS, THE OTHER HANG AROUNDS WILL NEVER COME NEAR HIS REALITY. HE DESERVED THE FANS ,AND THE LOVE OF THE FANS OF ALL HIS VOCAL AND WRITING PERFORMANCES . THEY ARE WANNABES DOING HIS SONGS. THE REAL FANS KNOW THE REAL DEAL IS LOU GRAMM, OR ITS JUST A COVER BAND RIDING HIS TALENT , GIVE US REAL OR RETIRE THE BAND THE LEGACY DESERVES RESPECT MR. DIRTY WHITE BOY ,IS LOU GRAMM
This happened to the Moody Blues for a long, long time, but finally made it in. Foreigner should be there. Saw them on their first tour.
I never New that story. Lou along with Steve Perry, had among the very best lead vocals of the last forty plus years. I was at Jones Beach Theater when Lou reunited for a couple of encore song with Foreigner for the first time in many years. I also was at what was going to be a free concert with Lou as a solo artist in my home town when thunder, lightning and heavy rain cancelled it after Lou began singing his first song.
lou Gramm should have never been mistreated like that he is better singer than Kelly Hansen I just wish there wasn't bad blood with the band
I'm shocked that they created a second Foreigner band couldn't they have created a different name with Kelly Hansen it's only one legendary Foreigner band and one legendary Lou gram just saying 🤔
@@beverlymaxwell3556 Foreigner has become a zombie band. Very soon Mick will either retire or die and then the band will continue on as many other bands from the 50s and 60s still do with the money mostly going to Mick Jone's family/estate. Its sad but that is what happens to most of these entities now. The band becomes a Brand and a fund for the legacy of whoever owns the songs or the brand.
If Lou wasn’t there I wouldn’t watch it.
Lou Gramm is still alive thanks to the grace of God! He's been through the wringer. Those R&R Hall of Fame guys are insane. Foreigner deserves to be there and in my heart they'll always be number one. They have so much love from the fans so who cares what the petty a-holes do?
It wouldnt be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction of Foreigner without Lou Gramm!
Great interview!
Lou Gramm doesn't have to go back he has a solid band with him and he still has the vocals mind not as good as his younger days but nobody expects him to much like Steve Perry it has refined with time. So he could still put out new music and I would buy it. He needs to move past what mick did to him and just put out a kick ass album and have fun with his band. He is an icon a rock and roll legend as far as front men are concerned nobody can beat his hits there are no bad songs by foreigner and his solo was great. Lou please do another solo album.
My comment was the comment of all that said good things about Lou Gramm but the main one that stood out to me was sweet thang commented there's no Foreigner without Lou I give that one 💯 thumbs up🤌
We love ya lou. wish could rejoin miss ya.the hof a joke you supertamp scorps styx with dennis should be in no debate.
God Bless Mr Gramm!!!!!!!!!!
Wish the videos were labeled better, i cant find part #9. Trying to watch them in order. Thanks for the video tho ;-)
Love Lou!!!
Has had a tough time of it for sure, glad he is still with us. Really sucks he has had so many raw deals from a former partner, kinda like Farner.
Lous my hometown hero
I never knew how creul the real guys of the band Foreigner could be to such a gifted talented man as Loi Gramm what in the Heck?!! Wow! Unbelievable they were blessed he took them all the way to the top and is the biggest sound of that generation. Love you Loi you are the very best!!
Lou Gramm ,We love you. Foreigner is Lou Gramm and Mick Jones and rest of Cats before and after.
That's why they're getting in cause of lou, rick, dennis,al, Ian(rip), ed, and mick!!
Lou Gramm is Foreigner. He could get people to play the instruments. Sing.. And that's Foreigner.
Yes Foreigner needs to be in Hall of Fame as well as REO Speedwagon
What a story!!
