    Esse era o estilo original que Lou Gramm queria para Foreigner, e M.J. se recusou a manter, transformando Foreigner em "pop-rock". Penso eu, que foi aí que Gramm se desencantou com Foreigner. Soma-se a isto, aquela música, para completar a decepção.
    M. Jones sabe como por tudo a perder. Agora comanda uma banda cover!

    I never saw Foreigner, I was a tidbit older (grad. hs 1973) and most of my live rock shows were from '67 thru mid 70's.....then married and well, that ended my love of getting blasted and driving to arena shows with a carload of my buddies. But I can tell by the sound coming out of this vid that this would have been a friggin' great sounding show. Wish I could have been there. Miss those days for sure.

      Quandou nasci, Foreigner já estava na estrada. Eu nunca pude ver Lou cantar, gostaria de ter estado lá! Mas, eu era apenas uma adolescente nos anos 90, e ele nunca veio em meu país. Então só me resta assistir os vídeos, ouvir suas músicas e ver suas fotos e entrevistas. Deve ser assim que os fãs do Elvis também se sentem: Gostaríamos de ter estado lá!

      I saw lou with foreigner after he was sick poor guy had to sit most of the show. He still gave it a million percent and it was a great show! He just brought something on stage that either you have or you don't. As a musician myself it's easy to get up and play but harder to bring the charisma.
