Is this Bad Company? Bad Company Vocal Analysis of Bad Company's "Bad Company"

- Опубліковано 3 бер 2024
- I've heard Bad Company recommended occasionally over and over, and a couple of my patrons have been begging for a while. This has been on my list, but it never really rose up to the top - until my hubby just prepped it and said "it's time." So. It's time to spend some time with Bad Company listening to "Bad Company"!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Bad Company for the first time, performing "Bad Company”.

Paul is one of the most under rated voices in rock music history. He definitely belongs in the HOF.
In the industry he is known as The Voice
I remember reading an interview with Rod Stewart in 1971. He said Rodgers was the best rock singer, with modest Rod in second place.
He's widely recognized as the gold standard of classic rock.
Underrated? I don't know about that. The guys from Queen chose him to take Freddie's place after he died.
That's not entirely accurate. Among other musicians of his time, he was considered the best. There's a reason why Jimmy Page wanted to do The Firm with him, and he was the choice of Queen to replace Freddy.
Elizabeth has opened another classic rock door - welcome! Someone once said Paul Rogers is the only rock singer who never missed a note . Wait till she listens to Feel Like Making Love…
Rock Steady is my favorite but then again its Bad Company I'll listen to whatever they sing.
Brad Delp
Alice Cooper called Paul Rodgers "The Voice", because he could sing Anything. Just superb.
Amen
Great choice. I’m down for Holy Water myself…
He was called, "The Voice" for ever. I saw them live in 1978 and it was just as clear and beautiful as the record.
I saw him perform just a couple years ago and, as a man in his early 70's, he still was spot on to the sound of the recordings. I was amazed! I've come to expect the singers that I grew up listening to in the 60's and 70's to, understandably, not sound quite like what they did back then and even drop the music a key or two to still be able to perform those songs. However, Paul absolutely defied all logic of aging. If any key changes were made, it was not apparent. Awesome, awesome performance!
Jealous mate. I was born in 72 and they are my favourite band. My Dad had their Cassette tape and I recon I wore it out.
Yes but now British singer SteveOverland is called like that.. they sing very similar !
Paul’s voice is in a class of its own
I saw them sometime around '90, and yes, many bands sound muddy live, but they were beautifully crisp.
Simply the finest blues/rock singer there's ever been.
Now you understand why the likes of Freddy Mercury, Robert Plant, and Ann Wilson considered him one of their favorite vocalists. Fun fact about this song is that they recorded it outside and Paul only needed one take to do it. So happy you have discovered him.
You stole my little fact! Cheers mate. 😂
Oh, cool I'd never heard that, cheers for sharing
@@davecarter1047 Thx. I heard it on the Professor of Rock channel. He does music trivia vids.
@@snjstr I'll look him, partial to some rock trivia
He and Mick Jagger inspired Ronnie Van Zant to be a lead singer and band leader after he saw thier bands live.
"Shooting Star", "Feel Like Making Love", "Bad Company" "Can't Get Enough" and "Rock and Roll Fantasy" are my favorite Bad Company songs, fantastic band with an extraordinary singer.
Absolutely! And Silver, Blue and Gold just pulls tears out of me every time! Seeing him sing All Right Now with Free in his early years is also amazing!
Burning Sky is my favorite Bad Co song. The album Burning Sky was one of their first six albums but when they did 10 from 6, they only used 5 albums. They didn’t include anything from Burning Sky. That’s always bothered me.
I believe Shooting Srar was originally a Free song.
@@streganona8185it was a Bad Company song.
Shooting Star!!!!!
The thing to remember is, this is the first song on their first album, as a brand new supergroup. Expectations were high, and this is what they came out of the box with.
I still remember when this was new.
I remember the day I bought the vinyl in New Zealand just after it was released !!
Paul Rogers was known in the industry as "The Voice" (yes, long before the television show ever existed). I read an interview with Jimmy Page (who worked with Paul in The Firm) and he said Paul was such a precise singer that he believes that if you took one of Paul's takes and laid it over another take the two would line up perfectly. When he knows how he wants to sing something, he sings it that way, period.
Thanx for this piece of history 👍
Related topic: freddie mercury actually came as close to this as realistically possible. So close there was sound wave phase cancellation issues as he was only milliseconds off. Very rare for singers. Dont know about Paul but love the voice
"Seagull" is the song that I believe would stun you Elizabeth, and even bring a tear or two...
Agreed. Seagull is a timeless beauty.
My favorite
This!
Oh yeah, I agree. Just a guitar and that voice - magical.
Yes yes yes and yes 🎉🎉🎉
His vocals with Free on Wishing Well along with Fire And Water are simply stunning!
Those are 2 of my favorite Free songs.
Good call, as much as I enjoy Bad Company I think I prefer Free
Agreed. However, anything from Free is amazing. 💜
My top Free track would be the Hunter from Free Live (recorded in my home town). There is a fairly good version on UA-cam from German TV
Listen to The Firm. Amazing!
I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Paul live in 2007, and after my father and I went to buy some merchandise, Paul's wife (who was running the merch table!) invited us backstage after the concert to meet him. Aside from having perhaps the most beautiful voice I've ever heard, Paul is a humble, down to earth man, with a beautiful soul. I will forever remember the way he spoke with 13-year-old me and made me feel special even in just a couple minutes backstage at one of thousands of concerts he's done. The Voice is one of the best human beings in the business.
Elizabeth, Ready For Love, is perhaps Paul's best performance. A MUST listen for sure.
Always forget about that song. So amazingly good!
This is one of the most underrated bands in the history of music. All there song rate listening to over and over ...good reaction
Hall of Fame worthy for many years and overlooked for far less talented groups and individuals. Yes, completely underrated in the history of music.
Underrated? Lmao
Free ! Was great
Paul Rodgers (Bad Company) and Steve Winwood (Traffic) during this era were both epic.
A couple of the greatest rock singers of all time.
My all time favorite rock make Vocalist. Insane tone, soul and effortless delivery. He’s even better live in his 70s!
Silver, Blue and Gold is where Paul voice really shines..You can tell his whole voice range in that song.
Paul Rogers lives in Vancouver for the last several years, I do believe.
I’ve bumped into him a couple of times in Kitolano at the Whole Foods. I instantly recognised him, he’s a rather older Englishman, probably about 5’6” I’m guessing, I’ve talked to him on a couple of occasions as I’m a big fan he’s very personable, very sincere and a real living legend. 👍😊🇨🇦
I think he’s in the Okanagan now. Apparently lived in White Rock
He lives in the Okanagan, as for a few years
Apparently a lot of folks have connected with Paul Rodgers on a personal level; so cool how he’s so “ down to earth “ and decent . Long time ago while Paul was touring my chiropractor Steve gave Paul an adjustment, and Paul tuned his guitar. How freakin’ cool is that??!!
I believe Paul Rogers is about as pure a rock singer there has ever been. Great talent.
@@davidblantz as well as Bob Seger.
When I saw that Elizabeth was doing an analysis of Paul Rodgers, I knew that she would be drooling over his voice
I appreciate how you can verbalize what you are hearing rather than someone like me that just thinks, that sounds really good, but don't know why.
I'll never forget watching Paul Rodgers descend from the rafters onto a smoke covered stage, dressed in a white suit, sitting behind a white piano and playing the first few notes to this song. Absolutely mind-blowing. They were on fire that night.
If this is her first exposure to Paul Rodgers, she in in for a treat. As good as this song is, it is one of their more subdued tracks. I think she will be be thrilled by his vocals, unique phasing and improvisations.
Was thinking the same thing. Somebody never heard Bad Company before?🤨Lol
@@user-gc1cp1xp5iWell, Elizabeth is a lot younger than many of us classic rock older curmudgeons 🤣
@@chuckhutton5087 Speak for yourself, I refuse to get old. I recently had the 21st anniversary of my 39th birthday 😅 We grew up in the best Era of music imho. I will be glad to enjoy the journey into more Bad Co absolutely love it. 💯🤘
I really hope she looks at Free, that was when Rogers was at his raw best. Bad Co were much tamer.
All Right Now..
probably one of the best debut albums ever. every song is a banger, paul rodgers is also one of top singers ever
I've said the same before. Even one of the best rock albums ever. Every song!
Exactly. A work colleague never heard of them and when I shared this album he said exactly the same thing. Every song is a banger.
I’m so lucky to have been born in the 60’s and able to share in some great tunes and bands with my dad. He had the biggest vinyl collection. I sure miss my pops. RIP dad…💔
I remember listening to a radio interview with Kate Bush back in the mid-80's. She said that Paul Rodgers had the most masculine voice she'd ever heard. Smoothness, control, tone, bluesy, improvisational, gritty, breathy, sexy. Loving your channel, by the way. I've just discovered it. 💖
Elizabeth, you should have been born in the 60’s !! You are definitely a classic rock chic. Pure music. Real singers. Real instruments. No auto tune
Women should always be like this. Unfortunately many have poor taste.
I think I can go out on a limb here and say that most of us on channel are probably twice your age and ironically have been listening to Bad Company and all the other grates- Rush. Yes, since probably 1974 I’m still loving it.❤️❤️✌️
guaranteed at least double her age.
Looks like at least 17 of us are. Lol
absolutely! ;p
I think I am around her age but grew up listening to these with my dad. Bad Company was a favorite band of his when I was a kid. He still has some of the LPs.
I don't know about most of us being twice her age. Elizabeth will be 38 later this month, so most of us would have to be 76 or older this month.
I'm still just a young lad at age 65, though 2 of my 3 daughters are in their 40's 😆
Enjoyed this.
"Good Lovin' Gone Bad" really showcases Paul's voice. Lots of dynamics.
That's my favorite song
I can’t tell you how much joy I feel watching you experience these songs that I grew up loving! It feels almost like I am hearing them for the first time again.
I forget how "old" I am until you hear these bands for the first time. I love it!!!
Seeing Paul Rodgers sound amazing well into his 70's is something to behold. I never get tired of his voice.
This is what I admire most about Elizabeth-- she absolutely loves, digs every single 🎨 artist they put in front of her !.And we benefit!
You make me remember what it was like hearing this stuff for the first time growing up. Idk how you made it so long without hearing all this music but it sure makes for good content.
Paul Rodgers and Ann Wilson, two of the best I've been listening to since the 70's. None better.
Brad Delp
Ann loves Paul's singing.
Damn right
I also love Lou Gramm of Foreigner, Burton Cummings of The Guess Who, Melanie and Cindy Lauper.
Seagull has ALWAYS been my favorite Bad Company song! So haunting and Genuine that EVERYONE can relate with!
Absolutely!!! I forgot who it was, but someone back in the 70's called him "The Voice" and for very good reason. I rate Paul Rogers and Ian Gillan the best male vocalists in the 70's and 80's.
Silver, blue & gold is another great song showcasing his voice in my opinion
Ah... the quintessential Elizabeth eargasm. Haven't seen that in a while. Glad you found this band. They have a great catalog.
I remember buying this album the day it was released. Vinyl 33 under my arm. Walked quickly home and then I heard this track... Love it more than ever
Same here 😎
@@TernaryTrout there was something very cool about having an album under your arm
Guys me too but I had the 8 track tape of it
I think it was 50 years ago 😅
@@andrewbrennan4311 oh hell the memories. The first cassette. They were 5p more expensive that vinyl in UK 😂
I enjoyed that special look on your face when Paul started singing, immediate joy.
He doesn't have the greatest range or the roughest growl but his voice is sooo soothing, it kinda makes you feel comfortable and warm, like a velvet glove.
His tone, his musicality, hard to describe what it is that made him the idol of so many singers and one of my all time favourites.
Yeah, I thought she was going to take a panty change after that. Don't worry Elisabeth. You aren't the only lady whom Paul did that to.
You MUST listen to his ballads that are more soul searching, love songs. I dug this voice first time I ever heard it but didn’t know who it was, in the band Free. First time hearing Bad Company - first few seconds - instantly I knew it was the same guy. Very soulful, very manly and smooth, but with a grit expertly placed exactly where it works, great story telling voice. Best man’s voice ever. Still has it even today!
Elizabeth, you are preeminent and incomparable! I goof around on UA-cam and listen to reactions by others. There are even a few voice teachers and coaches, the occasional opera singer, and a whole "buncha" people just listening and trying to hustle a few bucks. You are the ONLY one I can count on to deliver a true critique every single time. You have no peer that I have ever discovered. You don't approach it as one who is telling us whether you like any particular genre or style. You offer an honest critique, complete with technical observations and explanations that are 'waay beyond my ability to know or judge. Nor do I pretend to know. I'm not a musician or a singer. Like most folks, I know whether I like to hear something or not. But YOU know your craft inside out and I really admire you for that. You're one of a kind and I thank you!
I'm very familiar with most of the Artists Elizabeth reacts to. She is the only "Reaction" channel on YT where after each recation or analysis I feel like I've learned something new about the songs I've been listening to for years. . She definitely has the technical prowess to add value to every single video she releases. Always an education with Elizabeth.
Agree. I like Tara Simon as well.
This is why we all love her.... I've learned so much from her and my singing has gotten better because of Elizabeth. I now get all kinds of people in the different karaoke joints I go to and say man your voice is a lot better... I owe it to Elizabeth
Paul Rodgers recorded an all Blues album in 1993, Muddy Waters Blues. It was fabulous, and he toured with it. My birthday present was tickets with a gang of friends to see him and his touring band in a club show here in Cleveland. Of course he performed Free and Bad Co. songs as well. One of the best shows ever! BTW, Neil Schron played guitar that night.
Free, the band Paul Rodgers was in before Bad Company, were incredible, well worth checking out any of their albums. I saw a documentary recently by Brian Johnson where he meets some iconic singers. You could see how excited he was to meet Paul Rodgers, he calls him The Voice and it sounds like that's what lots of other musicians call him too.
I'm not a singer, never will be, but I LOVE great music. I completely enjoy how you translate these amazing voices in a way us "non-singers" can really appreciate.
I enjoy cueing up your video, pouring a nice bourbon, and taking it all in. Well done! 🥃 cheers
Paul Rogers has the best voice for rock music in the history of the genre. What an amazing conveyance of meaning and feeling/emotion. With Free, with Bad Company, with the Firm, and even with Queen, he has the goods to bring the audience to the song, and deliver a consistently engrossing performance. Just an incredible talent.
I enjoy watching videos of Paul Rodgers on stage. He seems to constantly control how far he is from the microphone, being his own compressor.
Ann Wilson does the same thing. Singers with power learn this of necessity! Shows true understanding of their instrument!
Paul Rogers is among the top R&R singers still to this day, he STILL sounds amazing.
Thanks for doing this. That whole album is great. I listen to it a few times a year, since it came out until today, at 65.
One of the best voices ever ..not mentioned enough ❤❤❤❤
Elizabeth discovering Paul Rodgers... Great way to start the day. :D
Rock N Roll Fantasy was the first one that got me hooked in my youth. Never got heavily into them, but always respected the restraint and class of their sound.
I love that song too. I had to make up a routine in HS in the band front to try out and I used that song 😊👍 I spent 2 or 3 yrs of HS in the band front. 💯 I like to think the song helped.
Check out the earlier Bad Company stuff. That album was when they were starting to lose interest. The first two were the best followed by run with the pack.
I’ve been waiting for you to go down this rabbit hole . So much more to explore , I hope you do . Some more Foreigner would be fantastic also ❤️
Can we not forget Paul was “part” of Queen for an album (Cosmos Rocks) realistically know as Queen and Paul Rodgers. Some amazing songs on there. And one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. All the Queen, BC and Free in one go 🤤🤩
The Cosmos Rocks is a great album.
Brings back a great memory. It's June 1974, this album is coming out TODAY, and my music junkie buddy just HAS to pick it up on 8-track for his truck TODAY. We go to 3 or 4 record stores, all already sold out! Finally he finds one with ONE copy left in stock, buys it, returns to the truck, slides it into the player, and seconds later, as was common with 8-track and cassette tapes - the player munches the tape and it's destroyed.He was SO mad! But he was so right in being so anxious to want this debut album - it was incredible.
Many memories for me too, same year. 1974 was awesome, miss this time.
First concert for me was Bad Co in ‘74 and still one of the best. Paul is part of a small group of singers from 60/70s that can still cut it. Sadly many rock vocalists have lost it either through substance abuse or just plain aging. Paul the Voice, No 1 and still at the top.
Yep, I hated that!😂
Glad I bought the album. Never had good luck with 8 tracks. Did have one in my car though!
I so remember 8-track tapes! My Dad had one in his vehicle till 1988, and this era always brought me back to my childhood. 💜
You aren't wrong about the remix. I have listened to this song hundreds of times since it was new and have never heard it sound so good. I have no idea who did the remaster, but it was pure joy to listen to.
I like the original Vinyl-LP-Version more ! But this needs a good , I mean a very good HiFi equipment .
I wonder if Elizabeth will listen to Five Finger Death Punch's cover of this song...
Hope not, its a disgrace@brianknapp6215
IMO, Paul Rodgers has one of the best blues/rock voices out there as well as having a great stage presence. I was lucky enough to see him with both Free and Bad Company. To this day his voice still gives me goosebumps!
Bad Company is such a great Rock band! They have so many incredible songs "Feel Like Making Love", "Shooting Star", "Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy", "Movin' On", "Good Lovin' Gone Bad".Seagull", and "Silver, Blue, & Gold"...just to name a few! LOL! Definitely a band worth taking a deep dive on. The band is incredible and Paul Rogers vocals are amazing! The tone of his voice is simply eargazmic! I find it appalling that they still have not been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame!
Saw him live a few years ago. Even at his advanced age, his voice is astounding. Especially live. My favorite vocalist since my teen years.
I saw them way back in the day with another fantastic band, it was a great show.
Paul Rodgers is a legend , one of the great rock singers :)
One of the Best rock albums of all time in my humble opinion. Still have my original LP bought in 1976. Glad you’re enjoying it.
I haven't seen our host this excited about a vocalist since she first discovered the incomparable RJD. This is SUCH a good thing & it truly warms the cockles of my old heart. The moniker of living legend has never been more aptly applied than to Paul Rodgers. Thank you Elizabeth. 😊
Very good Elizabeth, you correctly identified the sound as a bullet going through you. Mission accomplished.
I love this group and this great song! Your style of explaining the vocal details is fantastic. You’re my absolute favorite singer/reactor! 🎶🔥
As soon as I saw this video come across my feed I knew Elizabeth was going to be in for a treat, as were we, to see her react to The Voice.
One of THE best rock vocalists ever. Free’s ’Wishing Well’ gets me every time.
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes...
Ooh yes, I was just about to suggest that! ❤
Bad Company was the soundtrack of my teenage years back in the early 80’s. Awesome band, phenomenal singer!
You can't talk about PR without mentioning one of my all-time favorite songs: "Satisfaction Guaranteed" - The Firm.
This review is epic and way overdue! Thanks for getting to this one Elizabeth. I agree with some of the other comments that you should also review Seagull, it will make you cry with delight.
For me, I’ve said for many years that I’ve considered Paul’s voice to be THE voice of rock during his era, which in my mind was later followed (not replaced) by Chris Cornell.
Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest vocalists of our generation.
Bad Company was one of the top played songs on the jukebox, playing pool and drinking good suds! Memories!
One of our anthems back in the days of motor bikes, and still gives me chills bringing back so many memories.
Yep, it's a Paul Rodgers world after you discover him. He's had several lives in the business and all of them were stellar.
FEEL LIKE MAKIN’ LOVE
BAD COMPANY
Absolutely!
He’s even better on the Hunter by Free!
Elizabeth, I really enjoy your covering these classic rock songs from my HS days. Bad Co and Paul Rogers were one of my go-to bands from back then. And that synthesizer sound that "went through your brain'? Its one of the reasons that headphones were invented. LOL.
Good analysis of a great band. I am happy to know that you know to appreciate good music, no matter when it was from.
Paul Rogers is the favourite singer of many of the best front men of Rock and Roll. That says a lot about him. Best of the best.
I knew she loved it when she didn't pause for a long time at the beginning. She makes me happy.
So glad to see you do Paul Rogers. I knew you would enjoy his voice. He is a favorite of many great singers and well deserved. He is one of the greatest to hear live.
Paul Rodgers is by far my favorite rock vocalist and I loved watching your reactions. Thanks because I really needed to smile for a change.
Seagull is a must his voice and range in that song is unbelievable!!!
“ Tone quality indulgence “ Elizabeth is awesome. Paul Rodgers has a distinctive voice, one of the greatest in rock history. Soulful and powerful. “ Burning Sky” was an underrated hit for this outstanding British rock band.
That's probably my favorite Bad Company song. Ready For Love, Rock Steady, Silver, Blue & Gold and Run With The Pack are up there too.
Elizabeth would have loved growing up in the 70's. Such good music and no autotune. She's a classic rock girl.. we can tell!
Silver, Blue and Gold… one of Bad Company’s very best. Paul brings to it the emotion only he can. Moves me every single time I hear it!
Can't tell u how many times i played this as a young man... still love it! Litterly shook the entire house with my powerful stereo system!
I've been waiting for Elizabeth to discover Paul Rodgers. He is my favorite vocalist. He is such an amazing vocalist, especially his live performances. He sings with so much feeling. I think his voice has gotten better with age. She needs to see a live performance. He is soooooo good! If you all want to check out an amazing performance check out Paul Rodgers===Free Spirit (full Concert) live at London's Albert Hall. He is amazing. Especially the song Be My Friend. I would love to see her reaction to that performance of that song.
I have been SO waiting for your discovery of Paul Rodgers. THE VOICE of Rock.
Always been a favorite of mine. Still love it some 50 years on
I've always appreciated Paul's voice with Free and BadCo but after watching her reaction I appreciate him even more thank you for appreciating the sound track of my life
I am amazed that these guys have not yet been added to the Rock Hall Of Fame (what a rip....) Welcome to the Bad Company rabbit hole! Love this classic rock song that I've been rockin to since I was a teen. Thanks for bringing this and as always, great reaction/analysis!
Hall of Shame more like…..
Paul Rodgers has said in an interview that he has been asked to go in multiple times and turned them down. Probably why both he, individually, and Bad Company aren't in.
The R&R hall of fame is just a joke. Period. And yes how can bad company not be in there?
One can only say about Rodgers, amazing singer, amazing voice!!! My respect for a great singer and a great man.
Paul has the most beautiful tone I've ever heard. It's just honey in my ears. My fave rock singer.
I remember hearing this when I was 12 years old back in the 80’s. My dad had all this vinyl and I put this song on with it raining outside. The mood of it summed up the day perfect. That panned swell guitar lick always gets me. Awesome song
I turn 40 this year and to date, Paul Rodgers is the only artist I have seen perform live. I was in my 20s when my mother and I saw him, I was definitely the youngest member of that audience! What a first live performance to have the privilege to experience. My favourite song of all time is probably Wishing Well by Free.
One of my all time favorite bands. A great part of the soundtrack of my high school years. They have a great song catalog.
Bad Company rules. I'm always amazed at what is new to you. So many of us just grew up with this stuff.
I've been suggesting this for a long time, I knew you'd love em.
It’s such a treat to watch you discover some one like Paul Rodgers
Paul is amazing ... With free - wishing well ... My gosh, breathtaking
Paul Rodgers is like fine wine - he just gets better with age.
I am so glad you decided to take on Bad Co., but you really need to listen to Free, or his newer band "Free Spirit."
wishing well would be awesome...
I was nineteen when I was semi-asleep one night and was awoken by the unmistakeable voice of Paul Rodgers singing this very song. I had been a Devotee of all the bands Rodgers had fronted. I had mourned the demise of “Free” and the attempted resurrection of that magical voice of his. I only wish that all of Free’s albums were remastered today. Rodgers put out an album called “Muddy Waters Blues”, that and the Royal Sessions are nothing short of life changing.
Thank you so much for doing this. I've been hoping, and waiting for some Paul Rodgers - Bad Company, or Free ❤
I have been a fan of the 70s and 80s since I was a teen in the 70s. I have always wondered why I loved that era so much. Elizabeth, you define why those sounds and moments are so delicious to our ears. I knew from the first time I heard many of these vocals that they were amazing but I didn't know why until I started hearing you analyze what was happening. Thank you so much for putting into words what so many of us knew but couldn't articulate for that era. I would LOVE to hear you analyze more Pat Benatar, especially from her early albums (79-82). She was the first concert I saw live and her style, delivery and grit are tattooed on the front of my brain!!! Thank you for what you do.
