Bad Company - Shooting Star (Lyrics)

[Hubschnuckle]

I'm 45 and this sucks compared to today's rap and pop. How original am I?

[razorsharpsmile]

@Hubschnuckle LoL

[ZAPPABLACKDOG]

RAP GANGSTAH HIP HOP CRAP, SHITE, BOLLOCKS, TIMES 10 TO THE POWER OF 30!!!

[43carruthers]

not sure but this song may be about P KOSSOFF from free was very young had number 1with FREE and O Dd think he joined the band when he was still at school ???????

[divineg305]

This is one of my childhood bands <33

[kakarot138]

hahahaha i first herd this song on a movie about john Holmes called wonderland good movie the song really fits the movie

[rockafoxtoday]

i'm an unborn fetus and i think this is better than that rap and pop crap

[dazl558]

good song, bad company... this song is given to my 2 year "he's my shooting star" forever....

[jollyroger1889]

Why would any little cocksucker "jump" around to rap "music"? It's a fucking drum machine set to some arrogant black guy yelling shit at you, telling you what a big tough guy he thinks he is because he's black. Why would anyone, (execpt blacks) fall for that kind of "music"?

Why do so many young white people seem to worship anti-white smart arse black rappers? Grow a brain you little turds!

P.S. Bad Company, bloody great!

[divineg305]

@jollyroger1889 I agree with you on that, I think rap music is degrading. Honestly I was raised listening to a lot of the classic rock bands and this band is one of my faves! :D

[choccyj]

love this song

[BlackOpsIsGarbage69]

i prefer buttsex

[DilksyTheMonster]

@BlackOpsIsGarbage69 well said sir

[darodaro9]

im 14 and i think this kicks ass and is better then the pop and rap shit

[xXcuppicakesgrrXx]

@darodaro9 im 14 also , and i agree <3

[razorsharpsmile]

@darodaro9 Way to go kid. I'm 42 and I know it's a kick ass song.

[UGA1091]

Well i like all kinds of music, but i'd prefer to listen to real music. Rock n roll!

[xKokiri]

This was my dad's song. <3

RIP.

[ARMYSISTER12345]

@xKokiri im sooo sorryy :(

[RockinRustle]

i love you baby, but all i can think about is, kielbasa sausage, your butt cheeks is warm

sorry intro riff really reminded me of kielbasa sausage by tenacious d

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

he broke his neck trying to suck his own dick.

[glugglepuff]

Rock music is ruined by the people who listen to it, enjoy it, and then complain about people loving other types of music. Get over yourselves!!

[SirCuckooPepprmuddle]

7 dislikers are not shooting stars, like Ray Allen

[ryanl71085]

Hey buddy the album is Straight Shooter not Rock Band 2

[MrChertz]

@ryanl71085 HAHa! Rock band 2?!! wtf?!

[ryanl71085]

@MrChertz That's exactly what I thought when I read the description of the video. I'd say "what is this kid under 30?"...but that would hold no water seeing as I myself am only 25 yet I listen to mostly late 50"s through Late 70's mostly.

[bartik85]

Way to stereotype all kids who listen to hip-hop. I may be 17 years old and listen to hip-hop from time to time, but I can still agree that the 70's is when music was at it's best. No one is forced to choose one genre of music.

[ussenterprisenxo1]

im like the only teenager in westplam beach who listins to rockin roll and classic rock evenone esle listins to techno and rap.

[MrChertz]

@ussenterprisenxo1 Just keep on rockin brother. Like I always say, it doesn't matter what they listen too, because when it comes down to it and I'm the one throwin the party, they're listenin to whatever the fuck I say

; )

[MisterFallout]

Sad story

[runeskymisty]

i wanna be like this Johnny fellow...besides the dieing part....

[ag9171a]

Stop condoning the use of drugs, there are other ways to enjoy yourself.

[StrapAssasin1]

those 7 people that don't like this have no clue what REAL music is all about! Rock on to the good ol' days

[angeluv4696]

Great friggin song

[kdevine96]

everyones cursing for no reason, just relax. enjoy, smoke, snort..feel good...btw ha, this music is better

[Individual1991]

Hähä

[johnmickle]

Hi. I'm John. I'm 22 and I was a schoolboy when I heard my first Beatles song.

[multijohn1990]

You are 101% correct runningwolf24... Hip hop is really a piece of Shit! Doesn't make sense from any corner of the music....

[collieis10]

I heard this at my grandfathers funeral, I listen to it now whenever times are down.

[raulbarrios323]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG ITS DA BEST

[mimono1997ooo]

Its funny how anew song can tie back 2 an old one. I was listening to a fairly new indie song with a similar idea to this one, and it reminded me of this song, so of course I had to listen to it!

[Suuperman5461]

I played this song for my aunt a long time ago. She died tonight and I don't know howto act. Aunt e

[turnex1]

Reminds me so much of my late uncle who was like a father, friend, big brother to me. We'll meet again Chris..miss you so much always!

[iamerex]

My favorite song to sing too!!

[DaughterofAthenaCHB]

I grew up around this stuff. I knew all the words to this song when I was 6 and its still my favorite song. I'm young too.

[ColtsmotoX41]

5 people dont know that they are shooting stars.

[onitinioza]

I can't subscribe this song in words..

[myvolvorocks]

i fucking love this song on wonderland

[SamanthaHelen1008]

this song was written about Jimi Hendrix but its also very apt when you think of Paul Kossoff

[mariofan4523]

This was written about Jimi Hendrix, the greatest rock and roll artist that ever lived. Jimi's first name was orginally Johnny, and he died from too much alcohol and a sleeping pill called Asperex..."Johnny died one night, died in his bed. Bottle of whiskey sleeping tablets by his head.".

[ori2000]

Great Song

[panthershock]

"if you listen to the wind you can still hear him play"

RIP Johnny Allen "Jimi" Hendrix

[Dvb125]

quit telling everyone how old yall are. nobody cares, i promise. except for pedophiles... 

[sexii824]

i love this song i am 12 years old and im so min love with johnny

[starpotter04]

This is one of the best songs ever written.

[justmusicandme]

I tried to Thumbs Up and nothing registered..

[LifeGivesYouSugarToo]

this may just be the most painfully long song to play on rockband.

[LoveforGia]

thinking bout you JOHN MAYER.. X O X O X O

[johnnyls13]

Love this song, especially since my name is Johnny and its always been an aspiration of mine to play Guitar :)

[mOnEyMaKeR6983]

wy do they say (lyrics) when theres no FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING lyrics!!!

[blakhors31]

@RunningWolf24

Hey im a teenager and i dont listen to that nigger music i like Thin Lizzy Bad Company and im learning how to play some songs of theirs

[starpotter04]

@blakhors31 You do realize that a large number of the people who listen to Rap & or Hip Hop are White?

[thebest392]

As long as Myles Kennedy likes this song, then i do :)

[urubuadm]

very good this song... make me remamber of "John Holmes" in Wonderland x3

[tpda1990]

pitch version!

[thefunkof30000years]

Oops I wanted "shining" star by earth wind and fire :(

[RunningWolf24]

4 people must be some teenage kids that jump around to that rap and hip hop shit i guess they dont know what REAL music sounds like.

[GDLutz]

@RunningWolf24 Im a teen but i agree with you all the way on the rap and hip hop being shit.

[clayredden]

@RunningWolf24 hell yea man im only 16 but love this music screw rap and hip hop shit amen brother

[kasey69able]

@RunningWolf24 lol yeah prolly, but im a 14 year old teenager tht jumps around to "tht rap and hip hop shit" but lol even i know this is real music and its alot better(:

[NewportLocalBra]

@kasey69able That good for you. Thanks for sharing that. 

[marmarandalli]

@RunningWolf24 im 12 turning 13 and im in love with rock! and my 3 best friends my age love it too, i got them into it. and most of thhe other friends dont even know this band, bad company is a classic, theyre great! and it makes me sad, they really dont know REAL music.

[myvolvorocks]

@RunningWolf24 hey im 19 i dont hope around to hip hope i love old school music

[mrae2]

@RunningWolf24 2 people can both put fourth very good arguments as to why the others choice of tunes is shit and be undeniably right as every type of music has it's flaws, lets make it easy for even you to understand..All music is shit as it is flawed, we can do nothing about this, so what do we do? we say this is the shit I like please respect my shit choice in music as I have only shit to choose from, this shit happens to sound good to me so I'm gonna keep listening to it. Stop being a prick.

[GoingSkateboarding]

@RunningWolf24 i love "that hip hopshit". it doesnt imply that i have any less taste in music. this stuff is amazing in my eyes aswell.

[jgvtc559]

@RunningWolf24 fuck you imma hiphop head and i love and appreciate all good music

[roofstones]

@RunningWolf24 7 people are perfectly reasonable and normal people that just didnt find this song to their liking. And I salute their individuality.

[copbphoenix]

@roofstones 354 people have a brain betwixt their ears. 7 people are still being examined by the progeny of Sigmund Freud.

[MisterFallout]

@roofstones So I take it you like rap? LOL

[roofstones]

@MisterFallout Hmm. I kinda like Black Eyed Peas, but that isnt as much rap as it is fusjon. So, no. I do not. Do you?

[MisterFallout]

@roofstones There goes individuality...

[IamLegendTV22]

@RunningWolf24 um i listen to both so i'm more balanced and complete then the ppl that ar eignorant and just listen to 1 type of music oh and i'm 15 btw.

[kingdomheartsfan5656]

@RunningWolf24 i'm a 14 year old teenager who listens to all music rock, metal, country, hip-hop, pop, screamo, reggae, rap, classical, techno, dance, grunge, etc. i jump around to all kinds of shit

[dankkfairyy]

@kingdomheartsfan5656

mmm i happen to love your youtube name man

[dankkfairyy]

@RunningWolf24

you can be 14 teen years and jump around to that shit and still have great appreciation to the classics.. i know

[VinnyGN]

@RunningWolf24 What ALWAYS puzzled me was that people actually search for and listen to songs that they apparently "Dislike". Unless they're just trying to be unique by pretending to dislike their favorite songs! haha

[MsJUSTINBIEBERILY1]

@RunningWolf24 im 13 and like the rap hip hop shit BUT i like this song :]

[Consigliere27]

@RunningWolf24 Well I listen to Hip Hop and I pressed like. I think youre just narrow minded ;)

[01jdelat]

@RunningWolf24 im a teenage im 17 and i agree with you about that music back in the old times were simple and sometimes simple was just great

[krimdilakrim]

Four people Wear it down. Haha sucks for them!

[larsa2007]

the orginal?

[TacomaPaul]

Jimi Hendrix

[Anmelvinify]

This should be called inspirational rock or something,as well as classic,because it is,without a shadow of a doubt,is a classic!

[NightSkyWatcher1]

dedicated to my son, Michael.....his end was a rope though, I miss him so much...he said if he went to Heaven he was going to marry Kurt Cobain.

[climz1989]

@NightSkyWatcher1 what a fag

[ClassicRockKid95]

@NightSkyWatcher1 Awww. Hope he finds Kurt x Cobain rocks!

[heavnnnsent]

@NightSkyWatcher1 ....in deepest sympathy, please know that Michael will not be forgotten, and you are his mama, he is surely watching over you. Stay strong, and know that he wants you to be happy. This is your song with Michael, and he knows you miss him. Please, read "We Don't Die" - or any book by Joel Martin, or by George Anderson, there are so many others. There are many books which will help you to begin to heal. Please know you are not alone, and God will bless you.

[NightSkyWatcher1]

dedicated to my son, Michael.....his end was a rope though, I miss him so much

[znkp]

@NightSkyWatcher1: So sorry to hear that.

[tWiStED498]

no lyrics , why it says lyrics WTF

[TheSnipersAim]

@tWiStED498 Lyrics are in the description open your eyes.

[znkp]

@tWiStED498: Lyrics are there in the description. Just click on the button below "360p".

[The2moons15]

not to be a hater but Rock Band kinda ruined it

Its still a great song though

[Lossieloon306]

just a brilliant song this.

[Wildstar40]

Yeah , I sure miss Janis Joplin and I always wonder what music never came to be from all the lost great ones.And thats what makes me really sad.

[DouBleStuunt95]

This song always makes me sad...

[bluespartn89]

@DannySnuttz same here bro

[Tominator128]

@DannySnuttz nah best music was 70-80's im 15 and i would much rather prefer to listen to red hot chillis, than tinchy stryder and all that other techno crap.

music back then took talent nowadays any old loser who lives of benefits can get in the music industry all they have to do is put an automated drum beat onto a few over repeated words, then whack in a rythm on their computer, then thats classed as music. personally i would get rid of modern music....

[SpiderQueen971]

The one person who didn't like this song should be beaten jk (maybe)

[SpiderQueen971]

beasty song

[25Babes2008]

dangit - exactly to the point)!

[taylor22punk]

love this

[ThePointinDog]

You say that/I say this, I'm a teenager and listen to this, And I mention pop singers, Do I get a thumbs up?

[deadlyram2k6]

@ThePointinDog that dosn't mean anything. Age and liking something is nothing to brag about my friend.

[ThePointinDog]

@deadlyram2k6 You know I'm being sarcastic and copying every teenager on classic rock songs right?

[deadlyram2k6]

@ThePointinDog yeah well it's realy easy to see sarcasm WHEN IT'S THROUGH TYPING.

apart from when it's me.... >.>

[ThePointinDog]

@ThePointinDog My bad! ^^

[TheSnipersAim]

I'm 16 and hadn't heard this song until I got RB 2, when I heard this song I thought it was awesome!

[diegoaraujo2]

Rock clássicooo! O MELHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRR

[th00negative1]

what th hell wheres the lyrics?

[coyote7272]

Oh no, I loved this band since I was BORN, the first band I ever listened to when I showed up on this planet and now they're gonna ruin it with RockBand

[BowserKod]

@coyote7272 How are they ruining Bad Company with Rock Band? Rock Band/Guitar Hero are exposing teenagers to awesome songs that they wouldn't hear otherwise. I say, props to these two games for showing younger kids what real music is supposed to sound like! :)

[193korose]

@BowserKod They aren't ruining any songs.

It's ruining his "I'm so cool I listen to oldies when all my friends listen to Green Day" rep.

[Cgray611]

"At that particular time you had Jimi Hendrix*, Janis Joplin...just a catalog of people who didn't make it, who overdosed in their beds...that was the gem of this song. It's a story and it's almost a warning." — Paul Rodgers, Guitar World, April 1999.

[KingCharltonHeston]

Great song, it has a sad, haunting quality to it.

[redhotRISPOLIpeppers]

Kurt Cobain?? This song was written 20 years before he died..

[cen22824]

@redhotRISPOLIpeppers You are right! It was wrote in the 70"s. I listened to this in high school. Kurt Cobain was probably not even born yet. A lot of artist o'd in the 70's like Janis and Jimi

[demonpeak]

@redhotRISPOLIpeppers lol he meant that it describes kurt cobains life pretty well, not that it was written with kurt cobain in mind lol

[MrJp990]

man this reminds me of my gramma who died :,( i miss her so much:,( anyway awesome song dude!

[fuchalo]

this is on rock band? sweet. everybody who dishes on rock band is bs i wouldnt have started playing guitar if it wasnt for rock band

[Pulvertube]

life passes by like a shootin star

[therandommike]

This is the best song ever! I have been listening to this since I was 3!

[jsj297]

glad to see the younger generation appreciating music I grew up to!! Awesome!

[poopsyproductions]

Hey not all teens listen to (c)rap. Hop off my case. Love music, not (c)rap.

[halospartan32]

[booth231]

ha ha ha kurt cobain, dumb dumb kids...

[morrisandlola]

this is not about kurt cobain. this song came out in 1975, kurt cobain died in 1994.

[DarrenShanFan1]

I heard this song on the radio when I went to bed. I liked it so much I got up and came and looked it up. This song rocks.

[AKAjocey]

@DarrenShanFan1 Haha!!! Me too!! I heard it around 4 in the morning and then as soon as I woke up (right now), I had to look it up. (: Such amazing lyrics!

[Drappaofsealpack]

LOVE IT!

[TheNightParade]

[HAHAHA52854692476005]

This song is good.

[PantheraFelis]

Beautiful song <3 loveee it. And this type of music but this song is wonderfully constructed and I like the story aspect of it.

[Alfrunk]

I think a band made a song out of this video game level

[raanemapa]

classic rock at its best

[ElCid48]

This one is featured in the movie "SCOTLAND, PA." Check it out.  It's a good movie! 70's stuff and all that shit.

[SiNgLeJustinbieber]

i play rockband man diz song is one of ma favorites songs...

[Jshaw71]

seems like lives of the musically talented end far before their suppose to, thanks to drugs among other things...

[Alfrunk]

artie lange's theme song.

[svanzuuk17]

my dad love this song

[rockinout94]

mine too, that's the reason I love it so much...because my father jammed to this kind of music when he was my age.

Just thinking that makes me love this type of music even more.

[12dick]

i think the song is about jimi Hendrix if you listen close . the way this guy died .. just a guess ...

[RL337]

@12dick ..... I do believe you are correct sir .... Jimi originally was born Johnny Allen Hendrix.... I love this song ......... Jimi lives

[BeerMeister1214]

@RL337 you mean...James Marshall Hendrix?!

[1iCeCream5]

@BeerMeister1214 He was born Johnny Allen Hendrix but he changed his name to James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix in memory of his brother.

[BeerMeister1214]

@1iCeCream5 Ok. Interesting. So then I'd have to ask, what happened to his brother?

[hannahevilangel]

this song is touching :')

[skullgamer44]

Dude this song as soon as I herd it instantly made me think of kurt cobain exept instead of the whiskey n sleeping tablets it should be his phycho wife and a gun

[Alfrunk]

No, this song was about someone with lasting talent, not a flash in the pan whose music didn't stand the test of time.

[Ronzula]

I just love this song!

A good story.

[kmanrox2]

This song runs good like a chevrolet

[AmazingViper]

not MY Chevy I hope ;)
