Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2018
- Band members don't agree all the time and #Foreigner's #LouGramm can prove it! The musician stopped by Jonesy's Jukebox and got candid about not always liking the direction that Foreigner was going in. But something Gramm did agree on? That "Jukebox Hero" should be changed to "Jonesy's Jukebox Hero!"

Truly humble and genuinely nice guy without a mean bone in his body. The world need more Lou Gramms
Agreed. ❤
I don't think Lou Gramm realises how iconic he is.
I think he does, I don’t think mick Jones realized how iconic Lou Gramm is…or, at least didn’t.
@@tryithere The guy asking questions is far worst...
@@jean-philipofarrell5014The host is Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols. He's a peer that Lou respects.
If I’m not mistaken, Foreigner 4 is still the biggest-selling release in Atlantic Records history. Quite an achievement! Hats off , Lou!!
Yeah, except Mick.jones took credit for it. Smh
What a lovely humble man. And one of the best rock vocalist in history.
Indeed...Operatic rock and roll voice....He simply was amazing!
Nobody could beat Lou in the 80's. Not even Steve Perry could match Lou.
I disagree with u Annette, Steve Perry & Freddie Mercury & others r better than Lou Gramm.
He certainly is a very humble nice guy!! Very impressed with him and how he handles himself! Besides having an incredible distinct voice!!
@@neutral6944 They had different "styles" of singing, but Lou was just as good as any of them. Lou has a very distinct voice...and he's such an humble person.
This is great to see Lou talk about his life career 💕🎶💕🎶🎵🥰🎸🎼He is such a sweet person that worked hard in the music field.🥰🌹We still 💕Love ❤️ ya Lou 🙏😘
"Sir Lou gramm" is the key behind Foreigner's big BIG succes. One of the best rock singers of all time. Love you Lou. ..
Dear Lou! I remember our first "meeting". My father showed me the REAL music. We just sit and listened to many good bands and vocalists. "Inside Information" from "Foreigner"... It was "Say You Will"... His talent to feel and to live in every tune impressed me very much! I only regret that I never met him. But... BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY IN YOUR PRIVATE LIFE! Thank you for your unique combination to fill our hearts, but not only stadiums! Such a wise, humble and handsome human being!
Much respect and love for Lou Gramm, the only lead singer of Foreigner.
Lou and Steve Perry...greatest vocalists in rock
Optimistic Outreach yes they are.
Optimistic Outreach I would add Ann Wilson.
40 years ago... yes !
This is the greatest truth of the millennium - Lou Gramm and Steve Perry
I disagree with u optimistic, 1. Steve Perry & 2. Freddie Mercury r the best vocalists in rock.
Lou Gramm's lead vocals can never be replaced by anyone ever! Great vocals indeed. Right on Lou. Keep on Rockin buddy.... 👍👌😁
Lou is looking and sounding great!!! I love him so much!!! I hope and pray I get to see him sing live! This interviewer is killin me 😣.. Lou is a legend.. Know your stuff before interviewing a man of this magnitude!!!
The interview is refreshing. Not the usual boring, scripted predictable arse kissing standard American type crap. So it’s a bit cringe at times. So what. At least it’s relaxed conversation. Just because he’s sold millions of records, you can talk to him as a real person without wanking him off and kissing his arse. Btw, the interviewer co- wrote one of the most influential rock albums in history. Is probably responsible for more kids starting bands in the USA and UK than the his guest. Just saying like x
He's just a singer. Relax
@@imandan1966 he's not just a singer though...
Lou Gramm is an absolute treasure. Forever one of my favorite singers and songwriters of all time. Grateful for interviews like this. Living legend and a class act.
Lou Gramm I love you as a singer & human being. Thank you for being you & sharing your beautiful songs & stories. I was lucky enough to see you perform in Foreigner, Jukebox Hero your at Madison Square Garden w/ Billy Squire opening. I love you Brother.....
Lou is a Top 5 rock singer, all-time, but he’s the nicest of ‘em all - just a genuinely kind, humble guy who happens to be freakishly good at singing.
Omg I love him!!!! So sweet and humble❤️❤️❤️
I OH SO LOVE LISTENING TO LOU GRAMM TALK ABOUT FOREIGNER'S HISTORY. I NEVER KNEW SO MUCH WORK WENT INTO MAKING AN ALBUM. I AM TRULY IMPRESSED BY ALL THE DETAILS OF PRODUCING MUSIC THAT LOU EXPLAINS ABOUT. VERY FASCINATING STUFF. MUCH RESPECT. I LOVE LOU GRAMM FOREVER
I adore Lou Gramm, he's the best. The man is a legend!!
Without question, one of the greatest, most technically skilled vocalists in Rock history! Lou set the bar (very high) for us singers.
yes...seriously under rated. both as a singer and front man. He had the look back in the day.
@@pb12661 Pat, My dream, although highly unlikely, is he decides to teach voice. Hey, no harm in dreaming...lol!
Still no Steve Marriott though...
I disagree with u videoherebob, Steve Perry is the best male singer then Freddie Mercury but Lou Gramm is 1 of the best.
There's a video on UA-cam with Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull in which he states that Lou Gramm is the greatest tenor singer in rock.
Sober Lou and Jonesy...love it...Mr Moonlight was a nice return on deaf ears...mine included at the time.
Lou Gramm is so nice, he doesn't even bother correcting Jonesy for pronouncing his last name as Graham
Even more so, he's quite classy & polite when he answers the "Did you write I Want To Know What Love Is?" question. - I understand that he did make significant contributions to that song, but in the end Mick screwed him by only getting himself listed as the writer, hence, screwing Lou out of any royalties, etc.
Lon Gramm one of the best voices in rock, with incredible range. Also Paul Rogers, and Steve Perry have great voices.
Jonesy's style of interview is like that of two old musicians at his kitchen table at 2 am just sharing old war stories. He get's so much more out his interviewees with this style, so cool!
So glad I was able to see Lou Gramm with Foreigner 😊 More than once! Their music was a huge part of 'the soundtrack of my life 🎙️
1987 - I won a pack of promo 45 singles as a prize in a radio station in my hometown: it was one of the happiest days ever: a promo single with 'Ready or Not' and 'Midnight blue' as B-Side was included!
The original Juke Box Hero.
Bar none hands down one of the most incredible bands ever. It all comes down to songs. And these guys had that in spades. If you can't write great songs, you have nothing. Lou and Mick created some timeless classics that stand the test of time. Bravo Lou!
One of the most talented bands in rock history, and somehow- still snubbed by the corrupt HoF. Same with Styx. Utter nonsense.
Wonderful! I love Lou ❤
Lou Has A Beautiful Smile And Laugh!
Loved hearing the story about Jr. Walker's sax solo on URGENT @ 14:03 That is a beautiful story. What a moment in musical history. Thanks Lou. You are an amazing singer, and a great guy. Congrats on a successful comeback!
Me too! @Majik0715
Wait till you hear Jr. Walkers version of Urgent. Mick produced, Jr. Walker sings. Makes the song believeble 🥜
Lou Gramm is awesome inside & out always❤
LOU GRAMM!THE BEST IN ROCK MUSIC HISTORY!Thank you Lou for the music of my teens !KEEP ROCKIN' music and your Christian testimony!We love you!
What a low-key but perfect (and informative) interview. Well done.
I love Lou Gramm God Bless him.. seen him Many times !
One of the best rock bands ever ! Love this band
The sweetest soul. So glad Lou stopped by.
🙌 Lou Gramm & Foreigner 🙌. These guys have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people. The music of the 70s & 80s, guess we thought great music would last forever.
Such a beautiful soul !!!
Beautiful inside and out !!!
love you,LOU ❤ ❤ ❤
That was sweet! The talented Mr Gramm looking well and sounding as well!
Bodyknowledge 77 I Agree!
Maybe the most underrated singer in rock. One helluva class act to boot.
Lou's a nice,respectful bloke.
Love Lou Gramm. Such a beautiful humble man 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Lou is up there with some of the greatest vocalist ever IMO.
Love this guy!!..Humility and talent are a rare combination.
when he approaches the microphone,he commands,IMO the greatest voice I've ever heard,he can sing anything by anyone,that is what makes him the man,we are lucky to be even alive in his time
Lou graham one of the very best vocalist/ songwriter in rock history.
This man survived so much.
Jones as always creating a fantastic interview ❤️
Great to see that Lou's in good health and still rockin'. Foreigner may be considered a cheesy 70's formula AOR/Camaro rock band by some people, but they wrote some great songs and he's one of the best rock singers of all time.
Man. I would love to be his friend. Great personality
Lou = Legend!
Lou looks really healthy.
He appears to be very happy too. He deserves the best that life has to offer. He’s just a really good man.
Lou Gramm such a great voice and insperation
Thanks Lou! So many great songs and the wonderful stories on how they were created. Such a great guy!
well good interview on the basis that if you didnt know who Lou or Foreigner was you do now !!!
Lovely man and best singer ever!!
I feel as though Steve and Lou could've talked for hours based simply upon mutual favorite artists. They connect so beautifully. And the look Lou gave Steve when he mentioned "I Want To Know What Love Is" is hilarious. I'm guessing it's because it was a point of consternation between Mick and Lou, but it just cracks me up.
I love you Lou Gram no singer replace you, your voice is so emotional since I knew you back in New York I was and still addicted to your songs and I'm so excited that you have spiritual faith songs too later God bless you and strengthen your faith
Hard to believe it's been 40+ years since Double Vision was released. I remember rocking out on our Pioneer Supertuner cassette players and 6x9 speakers. Good days.
Loved him telling the Junior Walker story. I was at the LA Forum for the Foreigner 4 tour and saw the show he was talking about. Such a great show and great memory.
I was there also, Greg Lake was supposed to open up for Foreigner, but instead the Michael Stanley Band opened up got them, was disappointed with that.
@@nrwlkguy you are correct. I totally forgot Greg Lake was supposed to open the show but I was disappointed about that as well.
Best rock vocalist ever
Love you lou. Thanks for the memorys and good times with youre music!
I love listening to these music greats talk and tell interesting story’s about certain songs and situations.
It's curious that Lou Graham, Joe Perry and Freddy Mercury we're contemporary fellas.
What a great time to be alive.
The ONLY lead singer of Foreigner!!!!!!!!!!!!
Copy cat replaced him but never will meet Lou's voice especially in his hay day.
@@terry21651 Kelly Hansen does a pretty good job. Of course he isn't Gramm in his prime, but obviously Lou isn't that anymore either. Foreigner is Mick's band in the end.
And Black Sheep
Ele não precisa mais está no Foreigner para mostrar que é um bom rouqueiro de rock. Ele precisa saber através de um fonoaudiologo.aonde ele perdeu a sua voz . Média (que é no meu entender é a voz que está no meu entender entre a grave e a aguda ).Ela está bonita mas não é aquela que eu escutei há anos anos trás .Ele conseguia fazer um rasgado superior a dos outros. Fora isso ele deveria deve ter uma nutricionista para cuidar da alimentação dele. E por último procurar um personal Trainer. Ele ia mudar a imagem de hoje para ficar quase igual a imagem de antes .alguém pode da essa dica. Eu estou torcendo para ele voltar a ser um senhor mais charmoso e que está escondido nesse senhor gordinho sexy. Lou Gramm você é meu ídolo ( astro do Rock dos anos 80/90 e até os dias atuais ).Num dos meus comentários eu disse diferente mas eu acho que a jovem disse uma verdade e eu vi que não é bem assim ele deve tentar.
.
@@TheBent139 The band became famous because of Lou Gramm. Mick may have started it, but it would have gone nowhere without Lou.
The look on Lou's face after Jonesy said Gary Glitter was in jail for being a fiddler was classic.
Lou seems like he could visit my humble abode and fit right in. He just seems so real and down-to-earth!
It's still 40 years for Double Vision. June 20, 1978.
When are you coming to the Detroit area Mr. Gramm? Best part of Foreigner is Lou Gramm!
I love Lou ..Such a humble guy
Lou gramm my fav singer 🎙
The song URGENT: The original sax version was from a man who was playing a local club in NYC. Lou Gram went and listened to the last set . He then asked him to play on this song. He went straight to the recording studio and met the band. The sax player did only 4 takes and said that's it! I'm done. The best was taken from the 4 takes and that is where the sax version of the song came from. Per Lou Gram in his autobiography.
Well that story is in here. That man is Jr. Walker. A lot of hits for Motown. Not just a passer by...
Charming conversation.
Who's still listening to the gorgeous Lou in 2020?
2022...and beyond!
2024.🎉
Genio total Lou siempre lo sigo y seguiré escuchando !!!!
Sin duda el mejor cantante de los '80 y para mi siempre sera mi Amor !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw his last show at Proctors in Schenectady on Saturday night. Stunned by his retirement. He could still bring it. He'll be missed. Thanks for the memories, Lou!
I'm glad he's still doing it. Just saw him in August.🙂
Loved his voice in the day. Such a shame that voices faid as you get older. My fav song is 'I wanna know ...
All the comments are complaining about the interviewer, yet nobody mentions that Lou seems very relaxed and unusually comfortable and happy with the way the interview is going. Sometimes a less prepared interviewer asks different and less predictable questions and makes it more fun for everyone involved. That's what I am seeing here
Lou seems kind. Cool guy
i was excited to come across this..but ..Jonesy...u gotta do some background ...it's like youre doing ur research on air
...im.sure youre well intentioned..but it's somewhat disrespectful .
i mean this is Lou Gramm....one of the greatest vocalists of all time
Yeah what a dipshit
Fuck you, Steve Jones is one hell of a guy you asshole!
@@COLEEN322 these people just want some sycophant fan type doing an interview.
Absolutely Marc.....a truer word was never spoken.
I agree, Marc D! He should have done his homework!
One of the best rock interviews. Sooo much good info. Great interviewer. Great interviewee.
I was singing and playing "Waiting For a Girl Like You" onstage when it was on the charts, and I still do.
Lou Gramm incomparable
Big love for Lou ❤❤❤❤
I love Jonesy so much but sometimes it so awkward it feels like you are watching a Sat Night Live skit
That's why I love his interviews. It's like just some guy off the street who happens to be very funny
Why? Because it's not funny? :)
He’s terrible
what a nice guy
I’d heard of Foreigner. I didn’t know who Lou Gramm is. Thanks to Jonesy, I got a really good appreciation. For me, Lou Gramm presented as a top fella, and they each clearly took a bit of a shine to each other. Lou Gramm even asked at the end if they could do it again!
Lou Gramm is the heart and soul of Foreigner!
im from Rochester, ny....LOU is DA Man.......i saw black sheep many Xs...Lou Gramm Band ROCKS....each year Lous voice gets stronger...Bless em
I was in high school when their debut hit. Man was it played to death on radio to the point of please- no more cold as ice! It was avg to me, very commercal. I was more loyal to my handful of metal// hard rock bands. There were so many great bands around in the late 70's /early 80's. Foreigner stuck around awhile as I later appreciated them more. Recall the first Cal jam concert televised? Foreigner looked pretty cool!
i remember riding my stingray one speed bike to kmart to buy double vision.
Still listening to your music!!
That was GREAT and I never cared much for Foreigner but LOVED this interview.
Olá...
Continua Lindo
Amado LOU !!
Sua FÃ, sempre....
Maravilha !!
SHOW !!
Idade, são Números !!
Banda ESPETACULAR !!

Soooooooo jazzed that Lou is coming along and regaining his vocal abilities since the brain tumor. Every time I,see him lately every performance gets better and better.
❤️ Nobody does it like Lou does it ❤️
It's Gramm, not "Graham"....it's actually "Grammatico"...I think. Lou is such a sweetheart...so humble & nice 💙
Sounds like an Italian last name. You are cute as a button!!!
PURE CLASS ACT....Lou Gramm
Interesting interview. Lou seems a nice Guy.
Most rock stars are down to earth nice people.Its the drugs and the monotony of album/tour/album/tour that turns them into assholes
Kraznet's Samplitude Tutorials He Is Very Nice And Kind!
@Eirik Rødberg Why do you think he seems like an asshole? Just curious.
Eirik Rødberg I met him at a party and he was so down to earth and nice.
Mick Jones was/is the a-hole.
Lou was one of the greatest singers in rock at one time in my opinion.... he's right up there with the likes of Paul Rodgers Rod Stewart etc....
Wow.....a whole new meaning to "Fiddler On The Roof".
Lou is awesome...please come back to Edmonton
This interviewer couldn’t seem more apathetic and unprepared. Good thing Lou rolled with the awkward punches.
Not just an interviewer. He is Steve Jones. Wrote all of the pistols riffs🎸
I loved how Jonesy ended the interview with "he's a fiddler" and Lou's jaw dropped.
