@PeterTickle Not fair to compare.....Listen to Kelly in his hey day....THEN tell me he isnt as powerful....Hurricane was his band in the 80"s....This is over 30 years later.....
If someone told me ten years ago that Kelli Hansen and Jeff Pilson would be in Foreigner....I would have laughed at them!! Wow! They kind of bring a "metal" stage presence to them with their on stage antics and hair. I do miss the Dokken and Hurricane years though to be honest. Nice additions to Foreigner!!
Actually Kelly is a great fit with this band. The "look", the voice and the great chemistry in the group makes this line up a great one. No offense to Lou because I also think Lou's voice was excellent with the band. Rock on.
People complian about replacing the singer, but I never listened to Foreigner (except for one song) untill I bought tickets to their new tour with Journey. I'd never of heard great songs like this most likely if they weren't still going today.
They wrote these tunes in such a high key that its amazing that Lou gramm could sing them as long as he did. Even great bands like Little river band and aerosmith have dropped from their original signature to occomidate the vocalist change in pitch. This guy is good ....Lou Gramm was a star in my eyes for sure.
Man, I miss Lou. But Kelly is one hell of a good frontman. I wouldn't want to try to step into the shoes of Lou Gramm, but Kelly has really done a great job so far.
Michelleschnookie . . you asked about Lou Gramm. He is well and singing his heart out. He is touring with his brothers in The Lou Gramm Band. Maybe two years back he recorded a spiritually based gospel album, which is certainly worth a listen. For a time he lost much of the range of his powerful voice after fighting his tumor but he has persevered. Even though he just had his 60th birthday he is singing stronger than ever. Last saw him the summer of 08 at his great Lockport, NY show.
@nick12921 Mick Jones ( founder of the band) on lead guitar, Tom Gimbel (former Aerosmith keyboardist) on rhythm, Jeff Pilson (formerly of Dokken) on bass!
Yes, I think theyre awesome, so is Kelly Hansen. They chose the perrfect person to take Lou's place. If u dont look and just listen, in the beginning esp. it sounds just like Lou. Then when u look its a man who looks a lil like Steven Tyler in '80s era. lol Maybe Im the only one who thinks that, but at least his hair reminds me of Steven. Wonder what Lou is up to, and why isnt he with them? I didnt know Jeff Pilson was in band til now. Cool. Kelly from Hurricane n Jeff from Dokken!
Just saw them in Detroit. They surprised me. I did not want to go. I spent $500 and was amazed to see such a great band so close for the cash. My client and kid was happy too. Great performance. Better today than ever. Yeah, I love Lou's voice and get it guys. This singer kicks ass!!!
Great singer and the rest is bull shit! Kelly you fucking rock man. Without forgetting Lou in his best times, and giving to him all the credits for great interpretations, you are definitely the guy for the roll. I sow you guys at Saint Petersburg a couple years ago and I loved it. Foreigner with Kelly at his best. Keep on!
Hansen does it better than Gramm does now... probably because he's a lot younger, no doubt. Lou Gramm's lost the great voice he once had. The switch of singers was absolutely necessary for this band to continue sounding as good as they once did.
Saw then in Lynden last summer... haven't paid too much attention to them prior than that concert...( like a decade or two,lol) and I was totally bummed out when I found out only one original band member was left, but that quickly changed! I do wish that one guy in the band would go to the hair club for men though... only becaue I used to rock to Foreigner and that he makes me realize I'm getting old too,lol GREAT TO SEE THEM TOURING AND THAT THEY PUT OUT A NEW ALBUM!
@VIDEOHEREBOB yeah, but also keep in mind that Lou Gramm wouldn't be able to sing it in the original key either. ; ) probably would have to go even lower
Oh I agree yngvaibsteen, what we don't know for sure is what Lou Gramm would sound like had he never gotten the tumor. He's definitely getting better and better as show in recent posts. Talk to any professional singer, he did some really difficult songs and a lot of them.
Público de mierda... ¿Cómo pueden estar tan impasibles ante tal desborde de buena música y energía? Grandes Mick Jones, Kelly Jansen y el siempre tremendo Jeff Pilson! Grande Foreigner!
I saw them in Columbus not too long ago. The started Jukebox Hero normally, but then went into 'Whole Lotta Love' and then into an awesome Mick Jones guitar solo followed by the rest of Jukebox Hero!
i went and say kelly in addison texas couple weeks ago and omfg my mother is obsessed lol and i didnt think id enjoi myself to much but kelly is freakin sexi and has a great voice and they are all still ON IT!!!!!! (: haha
btw im only 18 and id love ta get my hands on kelly haha
BEST Foreigner song ever... I loved Lou Gram, but Kelly Hansen does an awesome job. No loss in rockability... They are fantastic live. Put on a thrashing show!
I saw Foreigner perform live for the very first time on T.V. (not in person) last night (on PBS). I actually sat there & watched the whole concert. Coming from someone who doesn't normally listen to this kind of music, I've gotta say, I was pretty impressed. I would categorize their music as classic rock. I like classic rock bands such as Steely Dan, Blue Öyster Cult, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, etc.-- some pretty good stuff.
I want to go see them right now.

I loved Foreigner, and Lou Gram has/had one of the greatest voices in rock.
Wasn't interested in them without anyone else but Lou.
When I heard ex Hurricane frontman Kelly Hansen was fronting them I decided to check out some vids.
Hurricane were great.
Kelly is awesome!
Considering that this is not the guy who sang these songs originally...
Well Kelly does 'em proud!
