[TheBettyboo62]

Jusy brilliant. Paul Rodgers. amazing. wonderful, brilliant an mostly just HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metalslayerblueoyste]

Love Bad Company.. Heard this in 1978...And i still listen to it and i'm 48...

[numer1johnmorrisonfa]

my first beatles song was either love me do or hey jude

[BooBoo1005x]

rockband FUNNY SHIT

[LorrieC]

I had this album...wonder where it went.

[mr5exywolf]

this song is about me. i have been in my coffin for 35 years and speak to my fans today for the last time.

[x10203870]

Love this song!!

[DeoCakeFace]

rockband2 brought me here 2 years ago....good times.

[richardflog]

"bottle of whiskey and sleeping tablets by his head"-- accident or suicide?

[scvpvt]

@richardflog i always thought suicide.

[gentrylisa]

@scvpvt hey man..tomorrow is another day it WILL get better!!

[scvpvt]

@gentrylisa-no no, aint like that lol. i was just sayin my impression of the song. its all good lol

[rhcpguy1999]

I think of wonderland

[Rainmainand]

I came here because of Wonderland

[VetoDaPanda]

I think this song is for jimmi hendrix or is it just me

[panthershock]

@VetoDaPanda it is, Jimi Hendrix was born "Johnny Allen Hendrix". Hendrix also died after drinking and taking too many sleeping pills. Threw up in his sleep and didnt wake up

[Mr1979longhorn]

@VetoDaPanda Ive always felt it was written for Hendrix too. Its just a great song about the pitfalls of rock stardom

[tkline63]

This is my one of my mom favs.

[TheIndianoutlaw09]

life passes by like a warm summer day, live a life worth remembering

[Meetballz11]

paul rodgers



[ghostreap3r47]

really great song man

[ihave2rocks]

Ok I forget. but is this when they had Paul Rodgers or Brian Howe?

[danning1]

@ihave2rocks Paul Rodgers. For what it's worth, I thought Brian Howe was also a really good singer, but still, Rodgers was, is, and always will be Bad Company.

[chicagocubs1rf]

Real good music from a real good band.

[mssucks3462]

One of the greats no question about it

[heyhawker]

Hey duuudes what's with the morons fighting over here? Just enjoy the music yo. No need to fight because of it.

[MrPPALCALDE]

COMO RECORDAR ESTA CANCION CUANDO EN 1975 DESPERTABA A MI JUVENTUD PLENA. EN SERIO LO MEJOR DEL ALBUM.

[dewatif]

Thanks another great tune by Bad Company and Paul Rodgers.

[TheBettyboo62]

Class! Pure class!

[breffnipark]

Paul Rodgers has the the perfect Rock Voice !

[WOLFMANoct1963]

jimmy hendricks, jim morrison, janice joplin, elvisd presly, john bonom, michael jackson, and many more. (sorry about the spelling) but i'm just saying this song is so right.

[DutchHeartMonger1]

Don't like today's music? Don't listen to it!! But for crying out loud, quite bitchin about it, that won't make it go away. I listen to rock, classic rock, southern rock etc. And don't even get me started on South Park, the most stupid and annoying cartoon I've ever seen!

[MyAbester]

Wat this song is saying is true u go up big and then u go down big wit all the drugs

[arkevin45]

about johnny rotten from the sex pistols

[txchefcook]

@arkevin45 Probably not,seeing as how he is still alive. Maybe you're thinking of Sid Vicious... but this song isn't about him either. Just sayin'.

[TheRamrod100]

Long live the 70's!

[FBJohnn]

my name is johnny :)

[danning1]

Too bad it will probably never be about Justin Bieber (get it?).

:-D

[conmantomato]

@danning1 nooo.. johnny had talent, bieber's "talent" comes from a sound board

[TheBeatlesRUL3]

This is amazing

[EminemCathleen4ever]

I love this great song Rock N Roll forever!

P.S. I know im sorry this is so random but...Santa Clause, Elfs, Raindeer, Fairies, Leprechauns, The Easter Bunny, Wizards, Unicorns, Dragons, Mermaids, The Lockness Monster, Frosty are all real MAGIC IS REAL. Believe it or not its true=]

[MrIsgar]

I've listened to this song all my life,i'm 45 now,never knew it was about Jimi Hendrix,oh well learn something every day.....I named my son after Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Ray !!!! The Ray is for Stevie Ray Vaughn two of my favorite guitarists!!

[dudestr5552]

@MrIsgar While you could be right, I think the song is about Paul Kossoff (guitarist from Paul Rodgers's first group, Free, known for "All Right Now" - that's Rodgers on the vocals in this one), who also imitated the Beatles while growing up and emulated their playing before finding his own niche... RIP Paul Kossoff and Jimi Hendrix.

[tuckman1001]

R.I.P. Jani Lane

[metalisback]

This song was about Jimi Hendrix. And you know what? The world still loves him...

[MrCoolguy1988]

@metalisback jimmy hendrix died from vommiting in his mouth being strapped in an ambulance sitting up right, causing his lungs to fill with puke ; horrid death. so i dont see how this sounds anything like its about hendrix

[metalisback]

@MrCoolguy1988

No Jimi was found in his bed. The autopsy showed that his only had red wine and sleeping pills in his system. But that's not the point. The point is the whole world will love you if you are at, if only for a moment, at the top as Jimi was. And he was gone in a flash. Hence Shooting star.

[randomguy034]

Great song. I just didn't enjoy much of the end because it was all "na na na"

[wargames2247]

I love this song.

[darkmagician426]

I almost tear up to this song, it's just so fantastic....

[Blondenfun1]

hey that is so cool you do what you love and love what you do ! bass player eh? terrific ! I am a piano player. could you guys/gals please register to vote in the GOP primary 2012 for RON PAUL ! to preserve our freedoms? end fema camps and the federal reserve system ! vote RON PAUL !!! thank you ! end the wars !

[WOLFMANoct1963]

@Blondenfun1 why don't you take an ad out on the radio or tv this is ROCK and ROLL not an election site!!!

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@Blondenfun1 i agree with you. but this is not the place.

[zackhanscom]

i don't care how special this song was or how great the lyrics are, the music is crap. why don't people get it? a song is nothing without real music.

[haschi18]

FANTASTISCH !



[MegaTrojanvirus]

@haschi18 that sounds very dutch to me :p

[MegaTrojanvirus]

@haschi18 or german xD

[smackdown9d9]

This song was played in the beginning of Wonderland. Val Kilmer deserved an Oscar nod for his portral of John Holmes

[MilitaryFang]

love this song hahahaha 

[luukve]

God, I'm trying to figure out where I heard this song before but I really CAN'T REMEMBERD where I heard it. Anyone know any movies or something?

[stavroskalioglou]

i'm worried that i'm gonna die with the same way like Johny but instead of sleeping pils a rock of smack!Shit!I am not some big star but a small fish in that shitpit called heroin adiction!Stay away of that shit!!!it is 2 way road.Jail or the morgue!I'm claen for a long time but i fight with my deamons every fucken day!

[smackdown9d9]

@stavroskalioglou Stay strong dude!! Remember there no coming back from death!!! Good luck man!!

[liptongirl500]

i like this song.. :)

[paulykaspar]

my doctor introduced me to this song cause he thinks i do weed :P

[TheBeatles433]

Although Jim morrison isn't a "Johnny", I believe this is about rock stars who died from drug over-dose and such on.. So, rest in peace Jim. ♥♥

[ben6993]

@ThisIsS000Sad Oh for fuck sake, where did you get this statistic? Cause it's obviously not true. And please don't even mention today's bands on this video.

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@ben6993 your right im sorry i just copy and pasted. i know alot more people than that listen to good music, although tooo many listen to modern crap

[MrTomkan]

@ThisIsS000Sad, you're getting old.

Maybe you should watch that sp episode.

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@MrTomkan sp? and i'm 14 haha

[MrTomkan]

@ThisIsS000Sad , southpark:P

And i'm 14 to, i know this song from rockband, it's great. But, well.. i'm just getting sick of all the people who won't stop nagging about music today.

Please don't mind my english.

[orlando0999]

@MrTomkan for real, like it, love it! respect it! i wish i never heard the beatles album "abby road" just cause i want to re-hear it agin for the 1st time!

[killer231233]

@ThisIsS000Sad im 14 and i love rock, some rap/hip hop songs, and alot of other genres, but i love rock, punk, classic rock, hard rock ect. the best ;)

[DX314DX]

@ThisIsS000Sad What is owl city?

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@DX314DX i dont have a clue. i copy and pasted haha but it's probably crap. let's make it kesha instead

[MasterofTheTrolls]

@ThisIsS000Sad WOW, what an original comment!!! -_-

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@MasterofTheTrolls IKR!!! haha

[LogeranoushesTurtles]

@ThisIsS000Sad this is my all time favorite song, never will change. im only 14. i love this music. dont let generalizations impact your mind like that.. rock on

[ThisIsS000Sad]

@LogeranoushesTurtles this is in my top 20, free bird is #1, thunderstruck is #2. i'm 14, turning 15 in 17 days. i know those statistics are probably wrong, and rock n roll ain't noise 't noise pollution, rock n roll ain't gonna die. rock n roll aint aint noise pollution rock n roll it will survive

[MartianSanta]

@LogeranoushesTurtles who cares about your age?

[LogeranoushesTurtles]

@MartianSanta because he said that most teens listen to junk music?

[MartianSanta]

@LogeranoushesTurtles so? when i was a teen other kids listened to music i thought was crap. ever heard of Hanson or 'N Sync? well every one liked them, I thought it was crap.

does it make you better then them? hell no!

we don't fucking care if your 14 or 16 or 7. you people should stop mentioning it on every good song in yahoo, the sheer quantity of such comments only prove your not that unique!

lot's of teens like rock music, fins me a teen listening to Charles Parker, that's be unusual.

[LogeranoushesTurtles]

@MartianSanta i did not say i was better than them. and im not fighting with you on the comments on this amazing song. who cares about what music you like? no one asked you. i was responding in a nice and friendly way. you are annoying. and immature. sounds like daddy didnt give you enough attention when you were a kid.

[MartianSanta]

@LogeranoushesTurtles 1. i didn't say what music i like. 2. that's my whole point, no body cares what's my, or yours Favorited music is. OR WHAT YOUR FUCKING AGE IS. so you stupid brainless teens, stop writing it in the comments of every yahoo vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gothicguy54]

@MartianSanta you have a very valid point but you have to remember that teens (wether or not considering myself) Must express themselves and youtube along with many other sites are ways for them to express themselves but you truly are right

[Bethymae2010]

My favorite part..only I replace it with I... I died 1 night I died in my bed bottle of whiskey..sleeping tablets by my head....

[cricketbat08]

Paul Rodgers sings everything perfectly!

[icey1785]

This is my favorite song ever Reminds me of my 12 year old sister's father Jeffery Neves. Who was murdered March 31st (Easter Morning) 2001. His birthday is May 7th 1973. Love you Jeffery. Miss you so much.

[mireguitarsolo]

Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.....

[MegaAndreNo]

Bravo pour une finale fameuse, parmi les grandes

[Geno383]

RIP "Jani Lane" Former lead singer of  Warrant.

[beerncheer]

There's a very good version of this to john holmes. Its to the point and kinda sad. Doesn't work on mobile so be on ur pc.

[ThatGuyWhoOwnsNoobs]

You say Akon, I say Guns'n Roses

You say Hannah Montana, I say Pink Floyd

You say Owl City, I say Beatles

You say Jonas Brothers, I say Queen

You say Taylor Swift, I say Aerosmith.

You say Justin Bieber, I say Fuck You

95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic, crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die

[MRWeedir]

@ThatGuyWhoOwnsNoobs ...so true mate....so true

[ninetyfive300zx]

the style in this song is like hendrix ,i can totally see him doing a cover of this...love this song

[TheAchyliam]

Isn't this song about Jimmy Hendrix? Correct me if I'm wrong

[jerkwang69]

@TheAchyliam nah, Jimi wasn't a schoolboy anymore when the Beatles came out, actually Hendrix and the Beatles probably shared similar influences, but the gap of fame between Hendrix and the Beatles wasn't that far apart, Beatles made it big in '64, and Hendrix, fresh out of the military, started his verge of making it big around '66, this song isn't indirectly about Hendrix, it could be about anyone, it could be about you, that's the beauty of rock and roll, it's your crossword puzzle

[www41WorldUSAcom]

BAD COMPANY---''SHOOTING STAR''

[tastyenyal]

3 people died

439 won the lottery

[MrReece0608]

i guess only the good die young thank you billy joe

[MrReece0608]

@MrReece0608 i mean joel

[donny29dsm]

I guess ''Johnny'' had the ''die young and leave a good looking corpse'' mentality!

[danning1]

P.S. Even though she's not a musician I think of Lindsay Lohan when I hear this. I fear she's going to end up like "Johnny" very soon.

[danning1]

@ApachenMe I doubt it because Hendrix would not have been a schoolboy when he heard "Love Me Do" (Hendrix was 20 in 1962). I don't know if it's about anyone specific, probably just inspired by a lot of talented rock musicians who couldn't handle fame and ended up dying young from drugs or alcohol.

[justhavenfun2]

Time-less & touching !

[justhavenfun2]

This is a time-less song alway's sound's so fresh to me. I'm 54 and this song is a part of me. Really touches me about your Dad , I really can't explain how I made it through those times cause I lived hard in the day reaching for the star's. I pray that the good Lord will bless you all.

[THEROADAHEADx]

dude this song is amazing im 12 and i listen to it whoever doesnt like this song does not have ears ok god!

[metalshark69]

Listen, it's OK to dream...♪

[bednarskimatthew]

I sang this once and was SO close to crying

[brennieb64]

Nothing, but nothing on Earth can touch classic Bad Company IMHO. Great instrumentals, great vocals and great songs...can't do any better than that. It's a sure thing that no new band in more than 20 years has rocked me like these guys have been doing for nearly 40 years.

[threegirlpeaches]

My Johnny (my 28 y/o husband of 11 yrs) died one night last September in his bed (hospital bed in our living room in hospice care) not with a bottle of whiskey by his head, but with a bottle of morphine for his pain. Many times however, he could have died in his bed with a bottle of vodka by his head. Had he not woken up jaundiced one day head to toe, that's exactly what would have happened because he did die three weeks later in hospice care leaving behind three beautiful little daughters...RIP

[troutfisher98]

@threegirlpeaches its a hard thing my dad just died in september on the 21st and it was years after he stopped drinking hard liquor and im only 14 and i was only with him for 4 months its just you have to remember the good times cuz those 4 months were there best of my life

[JoeCrotchburger]

2 people are shooting targets

[blayre04]

<3



[xxxXdreadthiefXxxx]

man long messages!

[jazzguitar2010]

The first time I heard this song was driving up in southern Wyoming on a move from the East to my new home in the West. It was about 2am, I was driving up a mountain pass, and on came this amazing song. A moment I'll always remember as I was discovering the West for the very first time.

[susankotowski]

u 2 percent suck!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[117werewolves]

if no one remembers jimmy hendrix they have no taste in music

[MrTooMudge]

This little remembered song brings back many memories from it's time. I personally think it's one of Bad Companys' best if not their best single. Rock On !

[mslwiggins]

my father loved this song an as long as i can remember i have always thought of him everytime it comes on...his favorite line was johnny died on night died in his bed bottle of whiskey sleepin tablets by his head, an he would always look at me an say thats how he was gunna go...one night after a rush concert he came home an i carried him insidean layed him down he was not breathin shortly after they pronounced him dead of an aclohol an methadone overdose im 23 he was 48... R.I.P. CWW ur missed.

[jskelley948]

@mslwiggins  sorry for your lose life sucks when someone you love leaves way to soon

[threegirlpeaches]

@mslwiggins I'm so so sorry for your loss... :(

[12345soulsearcher]

@mslwiggins wow,Im currently on methadone,and instead of taking extra pills,Ive been drinking at least a 6er every night...Kinda spoke to me man......Thanks..may your father rest in peace.

[usernamebada42]

@mslwiggins wow. You listen to these songs, man. they speak to everyone except those who are to full of themselves to listen to them... may your father rest in peace

[Waynezworld1951]

@mslwiggins sad but their is reality in this song, makes it great

[jayevan50]

@mslwiggins So sad.. im so sorry for your loss.. we sang this song to my brother at his funeral.. Although he was killed by a drunk driver on his bike at 45 he is MY SHOOTING STAR... today would of been his 53rd birthday...

[MrJp990]

@jayevan50 Im sorry for your loss man... Ive lost many relatives in my life, but i lost one of the people that cared for me more than anyone could... Not even my parents... I lost my grand mother to lung cancer and C.O.P.D.... I cant imagine what i would do if i lost my girlfriend... Im very sorry about your brother and i hope you will still remember him.

[brandonskanes96]

@mslwiggins how old were you when he died? just wondering.

[2484thumper]

@mslwiggins sorry too hear that

[TheAllen37]

@mslwiggins When i sleep at night i have a dream of that same situation,the weird thing is that 4 generations of the fathers in my family have died that way. Im a bit worried that it is my fate also.that song hants me everytime i go to sleep at night.

[MrCoolguy1988]

@mslwiggins i feel for you brother. ill smoke one for him

[randomguy034]

@mslwiggins That's sad. I bet you wish you had more time to have him around. My dad's dad died of a heart attack . My dad was in his 20's too.

[sjgapf]

The film is awesome as well.

[sjgapf]

To be honest, without seeing the film (with val kilmer & that girl bosworth) I would never have heard this song. This is music. Amazing Tune!!

[forestwanderer777]

I was able to see these guys in concert when I was like 10! They were amazing to me! And still to this day I remember some of the songs they played at that show :) !!!!

[Straylight100]

@jokerburnsgotham One of his best roles IMO

[MATCH845]

@Straylight100 same here man. one of the greats

[noorchahal00]

makes me cry every time

[MATCH845]

@noorchahal00 same here man..one of the greats.

[1962drob]

Bad Company Rocks!!! Another great song to Crank Up!!! Wish Rock groups today can make this kind of music.

KEEP CLASSIC ROCK ALIVE!!!

[Siwieto1958]

I have listen to this song for years and it is still one the simply best. It's an amazing song performed by an amazing band. What more can You ask for?...........

It's a song from the middle of the seventhies. Very nice indeed.

[fatstrat6969]

Who is Bieber? Never heard of the fuckin guy!?!?

[cassidy99ful]

@fatstrat6969 he's a 16 year old pop star.

[fatstrat6969]

@cassidy99ful Never heard of the guy. except on here people are always saying how bad he sucks.

[guitarcrazy02]

I've been listening to this music for all of my 21 years on this earth. I'm a musician and I've listened to and played it all, from heavy metal to rap to jazz, blues, electronica, country, you name it. But for some reason, I always come back to the classics, and my favorite band of the classics is the one and only Bad Company. It just doesn't get any better than this.

[Straylight100]

Always makes me think of Johnny Holmes [Val Kilmer] in Wonderland

[Skullertx]

Anyone notice that on the red dice, only number missing is '3'?

[Wanloqz]

...Bad Company~Paul Rodgers voice of rock

[MrNASCARracing]

The 2 dislikes must hate good music

[AdorableBieber]

how do you dislike this song?

[TheKeating77]

Does it get any better than this? I say"Fuck No."

[senteno25]

EPiC FuCkEn WiN SoNg!!!!

[AdorableBieber]

im 11 years old. yeah,i like Bieber,and etc. but i LOVE this song! i have loved it since FOREVER. why cant we have music like this anymore? this is GREAT music. and i just love this song!

[ImSoAwesome45]

@AdorableBieber You fucked up when you said Bieber. In twenty years he won't be known for shit. This will live forever

[ThePizzaGuru1]

@ImSoAwesome45 then why do you have bieber in your name

[ImSoAwesome45]

@ThePizzaGuru1 I don't.

[JaviArgie]

Dont you (we) know, you (we) are a shooting star... dont you (we) know!!!

[thesuperskull]

@JaviArgie you (we) do.. xD

[donny29dsm]

Donny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatles song!

[BES4everSinging]

Im 12 and was listening to the classic vinyl station on sirius and then this song came on and i was just like this is amazing :) I am proud to say I know what REAL music sounds like

[Boomerkuwanga]

Excuse me, but I'm in my 30's, and I'm NOT a fucking Gaga or Bieber fan. People of all ages still know what music is. My 11 year old cousin knows how to play this tune on guitar. Keep scouring the earth for good music. Never stop. There's great stuff now, and from 40 years ago. If you dig Bad Company, go grab some Tom Petty, and Allman Brothers.

[threegirlpeaches]

@Boomerkuwanga 31 (32 in July) and can't stand Gaga or Bieber....give me classics such as this, the Beatles, The Doors, Cream, Queen, etc....this is the music that will live forever...and yes, Tom Petty...love me some Tom Petty!

[thehogan911]

i love that song i am subscribing
