Well they say that copying someone is the greatest form of flattery......so since this dude sounds a heck of alot like Lou, I would say it just goes to show that Lou has an incredible voice that Foreigner needs (even if it's only a soundalike) to keep going. NOBODY likes covers that don't sound like the originals!
He can not sing his way out of a paper bag. THOSE ARE LOU'S SONGS AND YOU SCREW THEM UP./ GO TAKE VOCAL LESSONS. GET OFF THE STAGE YOU ARE AN AMBARASSEMENT TO LOU AND HIS WORK.! !!!!!!!!!
When Kelly Hansen sings here, I can't help but think of his underrated, previous 80s heavy metal band, Hurricane. He still sings just as amazingly as he did back then. Finally, he will get the recognition his great voice deserves!!
@scret9 absolutley..... would have killed to see hurricane and xyz show/tour together! Saw kelly sing say you will...... sounded just like lou.....and steve augeri has done a superior job as well.....theses people that cry about replacements don't seem to pay attention to the music biz......IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!
What is great is that people keep going. Mick Jones is going. There won't be any of us around for very long. Just enjoy! I think that Mick has done great by staying healthy and still plugging away. He is still the same Mick inside as he ever was.
The thing is, if Lou Gramm can't sing like he used to, they got a guy in Kelly Hanson who CAN sing the songs like they were meant to be heard. Bon Jovi can still sing, so he's still playing live. Do you see Robert Plant singing like he did with Zeppelin? No. Because he lost his high range. If he didn't, he'd probably be belting it out like in the 70's.
@soundsatdjs1964 Led Zepplin agreed that because they lost a band member they would not tour or promote themselves as Led Zepp. Just like Queen markets themselves as Queen with Paul Rogers. But facts speak for themselves, Foreigner and Journey and any other bands that I call recall that replace frontmen have yet to have a hit. Sorry but I see these as nothing but tribute bands them trying to relive the past because they are unproductive in the future.
when i saw them 2 years ago, i thought it was the original singer.. he is really really good, not like Journeys wanna be... Steve Perry is Journey, and Lou Gramm doesn't make Foreigner, the Foreigner does... : )
This looks like a cover band, with Mick Jones sitting in.
This is a joke, this is nothing more than the Mick Jones Band.
It ought to be against the law for Mick to use the name without Lou Gramm
Same thing goes for Journey and Styx.
Are these guys like Tommy Shaw, Mick Jones, and Neal Schon broke or something, because to crap all over the legacy that they created just to put out less than average songs and keep playing shows is pathetic.
@peacesells You are stuck in the past, frozen in time, unable to appreciate anything that isn't exactly as it used to be, these great bands should just die and go away forever? A real pitty you can't enjoy all that they are still giving us...
Just being brutally honest, I wouldn't pay $1.95 unless Foreigner had Lou Gramm. Just like Journey stinks without Perry. Sorry it's just the way I see things. I have no desire to see either of these bands UNLESS they have their original frontmen. I also think that it really stinks that these bands find it necessary to use the band names that made them famous but have different frontmen. Whatever. Gotta wonder why Bon Jovi is still kicking butt but these bands cannot have a new hit!!!
@diehardperryfan What a stupid thing to say! It was a few dudes who got together to start a band. Why should they quit or rename because on or two people aren't there? You suck as bad as Perry's voice!
ok, I thought it was a new lead singer, they're on the ice skating tv show today. I admit this new singer has a huge range and more showmanship on stage, the original guy was great, more subdued. If you aren't old, you'll not know the change.
Perhaps many songs sound alike, but a great band in history , their professionalism much as high as Eagles on this comeback.
I know he had a brain tumor, and that they didn't really want him. But they would have kept him. Nobody said there is the door. He still left. It wasn't like they marooned him is what I'm saying.
ndogg you are a complete leper-i happen to be one of the multi-millions that like grunge, hip hop, foreigner and urgent-people like you have miserable lives beause all they can do is hate. These dumb ass yahoos as you call them -know more about rock and music then you ever will in any of your your lousy lifetimes...good luck in life you will need it!
I hate foreigner with a fucken passion.They are the top k-mart generic mediocre mass production for easy comsumption band of all time.Unlike other boring bands they make the tunes that get stuck in your head like a migraine.The song Urgent always gives me an image of a retarted kid asking for permission to go potty.Who are the dumb ass yahoos who think they rock ? Have they never heard of punk ,grunge , hip-hop ect.? No they got to have the same old Mcdonalds burgers day in and day out.
sorry dude, but saying this song sucks is fine, but don't question the people who listen to it just because you don't like it. i listen to all kinds of music, and i think foreigner is good, but even if i didn;t i woulnt say anything about those who listen to it.
@ndogg20 how can anyone hate foreigner although this is not the real original line-up, w/o Lou it's not the same...this guy does sound similar, but not as passionate as Lou....at least they are still making music and it beats the crap that mostly dominates the charts..gaga, bieber, & shit like that..
@ndogg20 Are you kidding. punk rock and grunge dont even compare to the music foreigner put out. And hip hop? haha..shows how much you know about good music. Go listen to nirvana, greenday, and hip hop and let people who know what good music is listen to it.
@Bigrobkerr Foreigner is to rock what McDonalds are to burgers, Both sell in the millions ,have an endless list of employees and are as plain as a doorknob.This is what you think is good music? Good for you, your not alone.Wonder how many Foreingner band mambers worked in Mcdonalds,or,are working there now.
“In 1997 Gramm underwent surgery to remove a brain tumor. The medications he was prescribed caused considerable weight gain and affected his singing voice. In late 2002, Foreigner played in the Netherlands - the last time Gramm and Jones played together. Gramm left in 2003; Jones said he and Gramm split because they weren't communicating.
As a frontman with a rock band in Spain, I know what it's like to step into shoes worn by another who's audience was stolid and unmovable. But give it time, i've seen Lou perform many times all over the world, and just like with Freddie M and Queen, it'll take time to adjust to the newbie. But take it from me, Kelly has it and the band have taken him in, so it's goodbye Lou and thanks, but bring on Kelly, the band goes on!
milesstonerridge you are right! YES HE IS!!! Some people don't like Kelly because they are still stuck on the past. Kelly is the new future of Foreigner some people can't grow into that. It takes maturity and the ability to flow with change if they can't then.....oh well!
No, sorry, no one is "as good" as Lou Gramm. Lou is in a class all my himself. His vocals are unique and cannot be copied, neither can his stage presence.
I wish that this karaoke Lou gram wannabe so called singer would at least give Lou some props once in a while . He doesn't come close to the original voice . Lou was and will always be the voice of Foreigner ... No substitutes please !!!
Mick Jones, "hired" the old hands to start the original band. He owns the rights to the Foreigner name, and can do what he wants with it.
In it's current incarnation, it's an outstanding rock band and he's not at risk of hurting his franchise value by spoiling the memory of the original with any loss of quality.
Though they might be considered old hat via today's standards....they are are a far cry from I hear today as today's standard. Look...I'll take long hair, lyrics I can actually voice and air play with...vs someone who has their panties down to their ankles, on top on their pants...and then think they are really in hip...when they are really the next target on the prison yard, and too damn stupid to know this fact.....Priceless
Hey . . . ThePowerWithinMe! I'd like to thank you for posting those live videos from Foreigner's Lewiston concert. I was there but could still could barely believe the one where Kelly nearly lost his footing coming down the scaffolding near the end of Cold As ice. Yikes! I wholeheartedly agree with you about Kelly being a superb lead singer and perhaps the only one who could come close to Lou Gramm's exquisite vocals. That concert was magic . . . long live Foreigner!
LOU WHO? Saw them last night in Columbus Ohio. They ROCKED it. Kelly's voice is not the same but his stage presence is remincent of Steven Tyler. He is just exciting to watch. Kelly sang the National Anthem at the Clippers Game, too. It was outstanding. I hope some of their new stuff sticks!!
I was at the Foreigner Artpark show in Lewiston, NY. It was just fabulous! They are sounding better than ever. It is awesome to hear them belting out all of the group's many classic hits. At last a revival of GOOD music. Long live Mick and the boys!
Saw Foreigner last night at Artpark in Lewiston and with ALL DUE RESPECT to Lou Gramm (seriously he was Foreigner for many many years) Kelly Hansen ROCKS. He is the reason they are still rocking and sounding as good as ever.
Ok Mick. Its cool to keep making music, but c'mon man. At least change the name and get another singer with a voice that doesn't imitate Lou, just out of respect for the man. Why not just go up to Lou and spit in his face? You dumbass. Foreigner will never be Foreigner without him. Change the name and go for a different sound. Just my opinion. I love and and always will Lou Gramm. He was my idol when I was screamin for a band back in the day and still is. AC/DC pulled it off after Bon-you can't.
I agree that Lou Gramm was a great singer but he had to be replaced. Have you heard him lately? after his surgery he just cant sing worth a crap anymore, sad but true. Kelly Hansen is a very good singer I saw him in concert with foreigner back in march of 2010 and he did a great job! Its tragic what happened to Lou but life goes on and so will Foreigner without him.
Sometimes when the radio's playing i suddenly 'wake up' from what i'm doing cause i havent recognized the music to a new, unknown song but i know the voice immediately. to me thats the kind of voice Lou Gramm had. awsome! today i heard this song for the 1st time. when i dont look at the vid i dont know who's singing or playing. why not call it the New Foreigner or so. some old songs Hansen sings out of tune and he didnt even have brain-surgery like Lou Gramm, so what's his excuse
OMG...It's a guy sounding like lou gramm.This is just wierd but thats just my opinion.Wonder if they draw bigger audiences than this? Mick jones should be embarassed.I can understand him wanting to play but it's almost like a burger queen opening up next to burger king.Trying to put someone outta biz which mick could never do to lou.Like trying to clone r.plant.u just cant do things like this.It's just strange.Lou still fills arena's from what I hear.Does this band fill arenas? Lou made foriegnr
@SmokinMo11 I agree that Lou Gramm was a great singer but he had to be replaced. Have you heard him lately? after his surgery he just cant sing worth a crap anymore, sad but true. Kelly Hansen is a very good singer I saw him in concert with foreigner back in march of 2010 and he did a great job! Its tragic what happened to Lou but life goes on and so will Foreigner without him.
I have a good voice. Perhaps I can get Bill Wyman to join me and then I could call us the Rolling Stones, waddaya think dzjeezus? It's not Foreigner without Lou, just like it wouldn't be Foreigner without Mick. The new singer has talent, that's not the issue. it's just that as Foreigner, it's counterfeit, that's all
recently i was 'woken' up by foreigner on A&E just a few days ago...and Jason Bonham on drums-his fathers led zep insignia on the drums was there (shown here also) is Jason still drumming for them? JASON BONHAM!!!
Here's my 2 cents on Lou Graham. I saw Foreigner some years ago with Lou. They were one if not the best band I have ever seen. In my opinion Lou Graham will remain one of the best vocalists of all time. Age and Illness effects us all. It's a shame what time does to us all. I never get tired of listening to an older Foreigner song with Lou on vocals. I don't say that about many singers or bands. Very talented fellow.
ATTENTION FOREIGNER FANS!! Sunday, February 21 @ 9 am EST- Only on A&Es PRIVATE SESSIONS - Rock out as FOREINGER performs their mega hits Cold as Ice, Double Vision, Urgent, Waiting for a Girl Like You and Too Late!! Plus, special guest appearances from SAMMY HAGAR, MARK RONSON and OZZY OSBOURNE! Set your alarms and DVRs because you dont want to miss this!!!
Eliza: I was not trying to be mean. I love Lou, but I am not oblivious to the true fact of the matter. I do give him the respect he deserves, but his voice is a far cry from what it used to be. The change in his voice may be due in part to age, but the removal of a tumor really brought it down. I know that Lou did not have many singers who were able to rival his passion, but that is no longer the case. I am not trying to disrespect Lou.
Normally, I would agree and think that Foreigner should be at Least Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, but Lou can't sing anymore. Not at all. Age and illness has taken it's toll. I saw him when he last toured with Foreigner and a year later when he was touring solo and it was terrible. I think Kelly Hanson is a more than suitable replacement. Does he sound 100 percent like Lou, No. But he sounds very close and he can pull it off admirably.
@wildmandjp I agree with you about Kelly Hanson. A guy who sounds a lot like Lou besides Kelly is Philip Bardowell. I would highly suggest buying the album Places of Power Now is the Hour by Places of Power from Fronteirs record. It is a solid album and Philip remi nds me of Lou Gramm back in the day.
@wildmandjp Wake up it's 2010 not 2003, Lou is a great singer, by sticking with it! he has gotten past the rough times and he is a much better singer then a lot of others and a lot of ones who are younger then he is too!
Kelly, I am certain, sounds a whole lot better than you. Lou will never be forgotten, but his voice is shot. Unfortunately, the removal of a tumor robbed him of his voice. True, not many can sing like Lou, but Kelly does a great job! Lou had a passion that is hard to rival. I give Kelly all the respect he deserves. I went to see them, and he has a great voice with passion to match. Stop being sour.
@Treaty4 Give me a break, Lou can still sing! as a matter of fact. I love his voice and so do a lot of other fans, he still sings with lots of passion and he loves performing for the fans, why not give Lou the respect he deserves? Why leave mean remarks about Lou?
Steven Tyler, Neil Schon, Dave Murray (on bass?) + Bonham...OK...Sort of makes sense from a marketing perspective...but who's the koala bear? Mick? Really? Gosh... Also, just watched Lou sing Midnight Blue (9-19-09 gig) and it seems Klaus Meine plays lead guitar for him now?... Hum, I'll go and see what Journey are up to without schon. Well, I expect Steve Perry will keep it going.. What are Kiss up too btw? Bet Gene quit decades ago! No end in sight? Ain't no business like show business baby...
are you retarded? first of all.....how the hell do you mistake the singer for Steven Tyler? he sounds nothing like Steven Tyler. Neil Schon is still in Journey and Steve Perry has been out of Journey for years now. Bonham is not on drums..........and the bassist is Jeff Pilson from Dokken and War and Peace. Klaus Meine is a singer, not a guitar player. and Gene didnt quit Kiss. I think you need to get out of the rock your living under and actually acknowledge the past 20 years. ......
They were on Conan late night last week and did Hot blooded as good or better than Lou ever did. See lou gramm band 08 here doing cold as ice. He has lost that great voice doing the song in a lower key because he can no longer do it in the original key
This reminds me of a Maroon 5 sound. Kelly has a strong voice and does a respectable job with the classic Foreigner songs. No one is going to be Lou, so good for Mick keeping Foreigner out there, even if it's basically a different band. I'm probably better off if I don't watch the band (hair flipping, etc.) at this point and just listen.
I love Jeff Pilson in the band. Hope he stays until the run is over. He loves being in Foreigner. Just watch the interviews with the band on the DVD that came with the remix and new album disc. ROCK IT!
New singer is all right, but he ain't Gramm. It's in our conscious to always compare with an original band. He even kinda sounds like Gramm. You know Mick would love to get back with Gramm. What's up with Pilson going soft now? He needs to get back with the orig Dokken. And it appears Bonham is stealing his dad's drum head logo design. Is he trying to reference Zeppelin?? He needs to be his own self, maybe not play Ludwig drums.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah i know MineAllMine88... Jason Bonham isn't even close to his dad in talent... he's not even that good in my opinion. I'm glad they picked up Brian Tichy he's amazing
you're right we all do compare to the original. but this new lineup is just as good...different but great! (just saw them live, Primm, NV. great show!!). Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.
and i think it's great that Bonham uses his fathers logo. i would call it "family heritage" and never accuse him "stealing". when you say he should even play a different name brand of drum, your reaching for something to criticize...that's a bit much.
Kelly wears 40+ years very well. He takes care of himself which is obvious to his fans. Yes, everybody ages, can't stop time. How we age is part genes and a great deal of how we care for ourselves. Rock on Foreigner!
Always a lot of bickering when really old bands go on with the help of younger members to replace those that are either dead or otherwise gone. The end result is more good music, new music, and none of the old music is gone, it's still there. So what's the freakin' problem?
@dzjeezus I have been in a discussion with a few who have a problem with a group that ahas one original member but still sounds the same as they did. Foreigner, Styx and some other groups are the same way. And the video's where many are accused of lip syncing when it is a poor video where this one is pretty good but not the norm.
I will say I prefer Lou Graham but then he is from the area where I am from..
The "freakin' problem," as you put it, is the disingenuous act of calling this band "Foreigner" when only 1 member of the original 6 is still in the band. This ISN'T Foreigner -- it's Mick Jones and 5 new hired hands playing Foreigner's songs.
It's disrespectful to Lou, Dennis, Ed, Rick, Al and Ian for this group to present itself as Foreigner. Mick should've started a new band with a new name, but he didn't 'cuz he wants the money that the name "Foreigner" will bring him. Period.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Mick is is an ass. Foreigner never would have achived it's succesess with out Lou Gramm. I don't have no respect for Mick and as far as I'm concerned .

In late 2002, Foreigner played in the Netherlands - the last time Gramm and Jones played together. Gramm left in 2003; Jones said he and Gramm split because they weren't communicating.

As a frontman with a rock band in Spain, I know what it's like to step into shoes worn by another who's audience was stolid and unmovable. But give it time, i've seen Lou perform many times all over the world, and just like with Freddie M and Queen, it'll take time to adjust to the newbie. But take it from me, Kelly has it and the band have taken him in, so it's goodbye Lou and thanks, but bring on Kelly, the band goes on!

Mick Jones, "hired" the old hands to start the original band. He owns the rights to the Foreigner name, and can do what he wants with it.
In it's current incarnation, it's an outstanding rock band and he's not at risk of hurting his franchise value by spoiling the memory of the original with any loss of quality.

Hey . . . ThePowerWithinMe! I'd like to thank you for posting those live videos from Foreigner's Lewiston concert. I was there but could still could barely believe the one where Kelly nearly lost his footing coming down the scaffolding near the end of Cold As ice. Yikes! I wholeheartedly agree with you about Kelly being a superb lead singer and perhaps the only one who could come close to Lou Gramm's exquisite vocals. That concert was magic . . . long live Foreigner!

LOU WHO? Saw them last night in Columbus Ohio. They ROCKED it. Kelly's voice is not the same but his stage presence is remincent of Steven Tyler. He is just exciting to watch. Kelly sang the National Anthem at the Clippers Game, too. It was outstanding. I hope some of their new stuff sticks!!

Ok Mick. Its cool to keep making music, but c'mon man. At least change the name and get another singer with a voice that doesn't imitate Lou, just out of respect for the man. Why not just go up to Lou and spit in his face? You dumbass. Foreigner will never be Foreigner without him. Change the name and go for a different sound. Just my opinion. I love and and always will Lou Gramm. He was my idol when I was screamin for a band back in the day and still is. AC/DC pulled it off after Bon-you can't.

I agree that Lou Gramm was a great singer but he had to be replaced. Have you heard him lately? after his surgery he just cant sing worth a crap anymore, sad but true.

Its tragic what happened to Lou but life goes on and so will Foreigner without him.

Sometimes when the radio's playing i suddenly 'wake up' from what i'm doing cause i havent recognized the music to a new, unknown song but i know the voice immediately. to me thats the kind of voice Lou Gramm had. awsome! today i heard this song for the 1st time. when i dont look at the vid i dont know who's singing or playing. why not call it the New Foreigner or so. some old songs Hansen sings out of tune and he didnt even have brain-surgery like Lou Gramm, so what's his excuse

Here's my 2 cents on Lou Graham. I saw Foreigner some years ago with Lou. They were one if not the best band I have ever seen. In my opinion Lou Graham will remain one of the best vocalists of all time. Age and Illness effects us all. It's a shame what time does to us all. I never get tired of listening to an older Foreigner song with Lou on vocals. I don't say that about many singers or bands. Very talented fellow.

Eliza: I was not trying to be mean. I love Lou, but I am not oblivious to the true fact of the matter. I do give him the respect he deserves, but his voice is a far cry from what it used to be. The change in his voice may be due in part to age, but the removal of a tumor really brought it down. I know that Lou did not have many singers who were able to rival his passion, but that is no longer the case. I am not trying to disrespect Lou.

@melodicrockrules5150 .
Normally, I would agree and think that Foreigner should be at Least Mick Jones and Lou Gramm, but Lou can't sing anymore. Not at all. Age and illness has taken it's toll. I saw him when he last toured with Foreigner and a year later when he was touring solo and it was terrible. I think Kelly Hanson is a more than suitable replacement. Does he sound 100 percent like Lou, No. But he sounds very close and he can pull it off admirably.
wildmandjp 1 year ago
@wildmandjp I agree with you about Kelly Hanson. A guy who sounds a lot like Lou besides Kelly is Philip Bardowell. I would highly suggest buying the album Places of Power Now is the Hour by Places of Power from Fronteirs record. It is a solid album and Philip remi nds me of Lou Gramm back in the day.

@wildmandjp Wake up it's 2010 not 2003, Lou is a great singer, by sticking with it! he has gotten past the rough times and he is a much better singer then a lot of others and a lot of ones who are younger then he is too!

Kelly, I am certain, sounds a whole lot better than you. Lou will never be forgotten, but his voice is shot. Unfortunately, the removal of a tumor robbed him of his voice. True, not many can sing like Lou, but Kelly does a great job! Lou had a passion that is hard to rival. I give Kelly all the respect he deserves. I went to see them, and he has a great voice with passion to match. Stop being sour.

Well, I expect Steve Perry will keep it going.. What are Kiss up too btw? Bet Gene quit decades ago! No end in sight? Ain't no business like show business baby...

are you retarded? first of all.....how the hell do you mistake the singer for Steven Tyler? he sounds nothing like Steven Tyler. Neil Schon is still in Journey and Steve Perry has been out of Journey for years now. Bonham is not on drums..........and the bassist is Jeff Pilson from Dokken and War and Peace. Klaus Meine is a singer, not a guitar player. and Gene didnt quit Kiss. I think you need to get out of the rock your living under and actually acknowledge the past 20 years. ......

This reminds me of a Maroon 5 sound. Kelly has a strong voice and does a respectable job with the classic Foreigner songs.

I'm probably better off if I don't watch the band (hair flipping, etc.) at this point and just listen.

New singer is all right, but he ain't Gramm. It's in our conscious to always compare with an original band. He even kinda sounds like Gramm. You know Mick would love to get back with Gramm. What's up with Pilson going soft now? He needs to get back with the orig Dokken. And it appears Bonham is stealing his dad's drum head logo design. Is he trying to reference Zeppelin?? He needs to be his own self, maybe not play Ludwig drums.

you're right we all do compare to the original. but this new lineup is just as good...different but great! (just saw them live, Primm, NV. great show!!). Comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.
and i think it's great that Bonham uses his fathers logo. i would call it "family heritage" and never accuse him "stealing". when you say he should even play a different name brand of drum, your reaching for something to criticize...that's a bit much.

Always a lot of bickering when really old bands go on with the help of younger members to replace those that are either dead or otherwise gone. The end result is more good music, new music, and none of the old music is gone, it's still there. So what's the freakin' problem?

@dzjeezus I have been in a discussion with a few who have a problem with a group that ahas one original member but still sounds the same as they did. Foreigner, Styx and some other groups are the same way. And the video's where many are accused of lip syncing when it is a poor video where this one is pretty good but not the norm.
I will say I prefer Lou Graham but then he is from the area where I am from..

The "freakin' problem," as you put it, is the disingenuous act of calling this band "Foreigner" when only 1 member of the original 6 is still in the band. This ISN'T Foreigner -- it's Mick Jones and 5 new hired hands playing Foreigner's songs.
It's disrespectful to Lou, Dennis, Ed, Rick, Al and Ian for this group to present itself as Foreigner. Mick should've started a new band with a new name, but he didn't 'cuz he wants the money that the name "Foreigner" will bring him. Period.
