Free - Fire And Water

[FreePress1000]

I got regularly chatted up by 'Free's" road manager, ( who I think was related to one of them) on my way to art school every morning,used to jump out of a hedge & chat 'bout 1968/69. He was a student in another part of the college.

[katherine09xx]

the real mr big from this album pleasee



[MrAlberto2118]

real soul dudd

[hangfa3]

amazin!

[Epic0Studios]

Paul Rodgers for life!!

[Cadnoess]

I know this one by Jagged Edge in the 1990s... never knew it was a Free cover. Prefer it with Paul Rodgers' vocals! :D

[IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

Blah blah blah FIRE AND WATER!!!

[MartianSanta]

they aren't half bad

[Tinters11]

I grew up at the same time this album came out.  The Album Fire And Water had one hit single." All Right Now" good song. In my opinion that wasn't even the best song. The album featured straight forward, raw. no bones rock!!

[blackandtanful]

[TheStix79]

Oh how I wish I could hear the rest of that drum solo at the end, he was on it I reckon it must have been a good one...

[TheGypsyBangles]

@TheStix79 there's a new CD re-release with the full no-fadeout drum solo. It's a cracker!!

[MedbCruachan]

jody808 - Well, yeah. The two main guys from Free were the two main guys in Bad Company. :)

[jody808]

i hear Foreigner, i hear Bad Company, just some of the bands they influenced into the seventies

[guitarzan73]

This album cover reminds me of The wizard of Oz . From left to right:

Tin man,Wicked witch of the West,Cowardly Lion,Scarecrow.

[marta3t6fox2]

love all the songs of the Free, but this is special!!! tHANKS FOR SHARING

[neodog1]

perfect



[mbgames73]

I used to listen to this everyday in the 80's when I was 14, wow still sounds totally ace. I'm 38 now. Timeless music and happy days !

[laniecross]

I was in high school when this album came out...brings back pleasant memories!

[sevenprengjoni]

Who gives a fuck what era your from, music is classic. So shut the fuck up and stop being faggots. music cant be differed from the 1970s to the 2010s just categorized but u homosexuals

[SIERRAHPBT]

@sevenprengjoni I guess I'm a faggot because I totally dissagree with every word you said. The music from the 60's 70's and part of the 80's is far better then the shit you young kids call music today. Go blow a donkey.

[outlawcountryman]

3 people tripped into wishing well fell into muddy water and ran into mr big, and aren't all right now.

[jadoliverjam]

@outlawcountryman or maybe 3 people just don't like this song. Which I don't understand because I love this song, but they are entitled to their opinion. C'mon people no more jokes about how many people dislike the video.

[SteveZarr1]

Great Song!!

[shadow4126]

May I have some more FREE fire and water please?

[santatigerclaus]

3 wished theyd clicked on barry manilow

[lolnumpty]

@07123me How is that not unique? How many other 15 year olds do you know about that think like me? Because i know i dont know any, i'm a dying breed. And I'm not "copying" anyone, the stuff i wrote about in my comment is how i truly feel comfortable. I would only copy someone if it was going to make me fit in, or because i thought that copying that person was going to benefit me in some way. Clearly being 40+ years out of date is going to set me apart massively from the rest of society.

[charlyblues]

Dopeness!

[notfragile33]

HOLY MOTHER OF LES PAUL! MAKE THAT BABY, CRY, O "WAIL MASTER", PAUL KOSSOFF!

[sirronald69]

[EvaPanag100]

Καλό!!!!!!!!

[Biraghi128]

God, I listen to this every day!

[rollingstonerocks10]

these guys weren't very populer but this is a awsome song

[rexz2313]

bad company is terrible. but i love his voice

[columbusdinner]

@rexz2313 Get the fuck outta here, BC is thee shit!

[d37150]

THE MEMORIES FLOOD MY MIND THIS DAY AS I LISTEN TO THIS SONG ; ONLY YESTERDAY I WAS A KID AND THIS WAS MY MUSIC AND IT STILL HAS LASTED THE TEST OF TIME ; WHAT A VOICE WHAT A BAND ; GREAT MUSIC STILL !!!

[nikpit661]

kommatara



[MrJeepsters]

le disque est fantastique, un must !

[Biraghi128]

What a great song, I mean wow first time hearing it and its my new favorite song. Ahh born in the wrong time period.

[charlyblues]

Dope!

[curtis8516]

in the middle of repairing this. its on a pink label, my dad who never looks after anything...he will now i told him its worth 300 odd quid on ebay!

[lolnumpty]

Im glad im the only kid in my school that like's this kinda stuff. Oh how i wish i was born in better times :(

[BxOxTxR]

@lolnumpty lolwut? You're glad you're the only kid who likes this, but you wish you were born in times where there were a ton of people who liked it? Huh.. you confuse me, kid.

[lolnumpty]

@BxOxTxR i mean, im glad im different and havent been taken hostage by the modern music industry. i would like to be able to let down my long hair instead of having it tied back in a pony tail and hidden under my Shirt, without being called "Hippy faggot" i would like to be able to dress the way i like, i love everything i have seen of the 60's and 70's on TV and familly photo's. i like being unique, but i would prefer it if i was born 45+ years earlier

[sp4cave]

@lolnumpty been there

[lolnumpty]

@sp4cave where?

[sp4cave]

@lolnumpty I am from that era. Been kicked out of stores for what i was wearing, looked at like i was a hippie freak

[lolnumpty]

@sp4cave ahhhh ok. you got kicked out of stores? i didnt think you could be kicked out of stores for something like that

[AaronBaker12345]

@lolnumpty theres a lot of bands bringing it back, check out witchcraft from sweden,brutus from norway,the sheepdogs from canada,uncle acid and the deadbeats for england,dead meadow,wolfmother etc.... dress how you please and help us bring back the 70's.

[suzys11]

@lolnumpty LOL, we were called Hippies and faggots and long-haired dirty people and much much more. You're not unique; you're just another generation following in our footsteps. HappyHickyDoodle!

[TheGypsyBangles]

@lolnumpty we're no slaves to the record industry... We play heavy blues and hard rock, influence by free. Check out what we do!

[MartianSanta]

@lolnumpty people do that in the us? make fun on long hair? and i thought i lived in a radically conservative country...

[lolnumpty]

@MartianSanta No, im from Birmingham, In the UK :)

[TheMikesterboy]

Aint heard this for ages :)

[Diddlydewdrop]

Oh how I love this track

[rockmindmusic]

Great song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dolliegirlcat]

Another of my favorite bands. Paul Kossoff, what a tragedy, Paul Rogers, what a voice. They were the best. Love this song

[kevinherbert]

How freekin funky is THIS?????????????????...hellll­ooooooooooooooo

[OlUncleJoe]

'Heavy Load' one of my all time fav songs... 'I know why the sun don't shine' & 'Over the green hills' up top there as well...

Great great music they don't make anymore.

[SamanthaHelen1008]

must be one of the best Free songs!! I wish had been born to see Free perform with Mr Kossoff

[box1u]

Still one of rocks greatest vocalists, Paul Rodgers.

[questhanna]

thanks , Looked for my bad Co. and the Cd was missing from the jacket. I got another cd from my car and cover but not cd...hmmm, Don't leave your cd's in the car when you have it worked on.

[minorkatminor]

@19wt60 how the f*&^ would I know.

[SUNSHINESBETER]

this is too fast..should be a tad slower me feels. still a superb tune tho :-)

[SuperBluesystem]

Fire and water must have made you their daughter ♪♪

Awesome!

[minorkatminor]

the singer and drummer are 21, the keyboardist is 22, the guitarist is 20 and the bass player is 17 at the time of this recording. I know technology has gotten better since we have taken the first photo and made the first recording, but that being said and the first part applieing how can the music ever be called old, when infact it was recoded (captured in time) by a bunch of young dudes???

everyone always forgets that Classic Rock is really a bunch of teenagers and ppl in their 20's music.

[bookerdann]

@minorkatminor Indeed. There is no such thing as old music. It is a physical impossibility. When a song is recorded it is frozen in time. It will sound exactly the same as it did the moment was recorded forever. Therefore it cannot age. Everything else ages. Everything else grows old around it. But the song does not.

[MrSomonestolemyname]

@bookerdann

That was wise. Im gonna say that every time someone says a song is old.

[jahkearns]

@bookerdann if you read Nausea by Sartre, that is the image that ends the book, a record going round and round on a turntable, never aging.

[fleetwoodmac1982]

@jahkearns

and those who have read the book would wonder whether it would had rained over Bouvill the following day...

[IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

@bookerdann Music never gets old it just gets a little dusty.

[dieguito993]

@bookerdann Amen.

[ivan89705]

немцы прекрасно подали эту вещь

[MRBIGGLESTON]

Best Free song eva! "Fire and Water must have made you their daughter" love it!

[tp1403]

Check out XYZ's version...

[hellsbell97]

woah isnt this a little faster..?

[QVXS77]

After seeing Queen/Paul Rogers vids this is like coming home for a nice cup of tea .....aaaaahhhhhh! . Nothing finer than this album.

[davies2205]

that piano at 2.00 ohhhh yes

[70goldtop]

@davies2205 That panning from my right to left ear at 2:08 is also pretty cool.

[shanaynay7000]

How do you made these vids! I have a song that I'd like to put on youtube, but I have no clue as to how! Windows Movie Maker doesn't work well for me at all!! haha

[dolliegirlcat]

Let's have some Free tonight, one of the best ever bands and such a great track.

[newkdawg3000]

dude, don't apologize for the picture. it's all about the music, man!!

[Deoxysdialga666]

YAY finally! i found a studio version of this epic song! thanks Zedice!

[whereamigoingnow]

Great Stripper song.....:p

[grooveycat]

Excellent post this takes me back to my days of nurse training & listening to their music in my roon in the nurses accomodation & in the hospital social club bar! Good times. x

[VanishaGlamChick6]

Great song!! That´s one of the reasons i wish i was born in 55/52, i would have been able to catch up the good old days for being young!!

[eddiegallacher]

@VanishaGlamChick6

top comment!

[bookerdann]

One of THE most down and dirty grooves of all time. Rogers sings this with all the soul of a Motown singer and the edge of an English rocker all rolled into one. Aretha Franklin should cover this song! Damn...

[emperorsdragon]

@bookerdann Wilson Pickett did just that it got to nos 2 US Soul charts, check it out its on ut somewhere

[ronstermaniac1]

Great blues/hard rock song. Paul Rodgers is & continues to be one of the best vocalists in the genre.

[daviemcf]

Fantastic album!!

[mcnutt10]

I can tell you where I was when I first listened to this album. Free was an incredible band.

[bud4207]

Brilliance here all i can say,

[Strokecity1]

My favourite song of all time - pure class!

[bowbridge1]

@Strokecity1 ive listened to paul 4 20 years u r right my friend

[gk10002000]

This band was just "cool". All right now,

[RushYesCrimson]

Great song!

[halfbloodprince55]

I totally can relate to this song :>(

[MrPodmeister]

love the band love the song

[chrisradano]

Good. Must've made you their daughter...

[steelyman08]

My absolute fave.

Love your little speech bubble concerning the foggy image (-:

Thanks.

[jamesdobrincic]

Legendary KISS guitarist ACE FREHLEY said he developed the idea for the KISS song Cold Gin-from this song!!!

[MultiBad10]

Absolutely love this band. Paul Rodgers is amazing!

[IGY5758]

All the planets lined up when this band was assembled, and especially when this record was made. Each one of these guys were stylist pioneers who took a less-is-more approach and produced a raw, massive sound. F**cking awesome.

[SLKRainbow]

i heard paul rodgers is gay. is that true? he is the lead singer of Queen now. hmm...

[SLKRainbow]

japanese woman?? hmm... i met a guy during Hurricane Katrina when i lived in Florida, n he claimed 2 have seen Paul n Mick Ralphs kissin eachother on stage @ a LIVE Bad Company . maybe he's Bi? haha. doubt it though w/ all the info u've provide, Goody. THANKS VERY MUCH! Whew! Glad that voice isn't on 'the other side'... uh...

[SLKRainbow]

japanese woman? hmm.. i met a guy in Florida after Hurricane Wilma n he claimed 2 have seen Paul n Mick Ralphs makin out ON STAGE durin a Bad Company Concert. Maybe he's BI? haha! doubt it w/all the info u've Provided me, Goody. THANKS VERY MUCH!

[Zedice]

Who cares - still one of the best singers :)

[robharding1957]

wrong,,he is the best singer, by atleast a century,. when l first heard this guy in1972, l swore he was a black blues singer,,,l only got the first bit wrong

[johnnyjohn58]

people claim stuff all the time doesn't make it true necessarily tho..............

[BLUEEYEDSOUL68]

He performs with his kids on a video here somewhere, might find it under Paul Rodgers and Boa.....

[mykejp]

@SLKRainbow The only confirmed gay member of Free that I'm aware of is Andy.

[AskWhyNow2day]

I don't know what kind of man Paul Rodgers is or was in his youth, but I' bet God loves to hear him sing.

I know the Angels do.

[mcleanartists]

@AskWhyNow2day NOT YET!

[luvinbuzzin]

the sound of my oldest memories thnx....:)))))

[ogrebattle22763]

The lyrics are so deep to this song!!!!!!!!

[austinzeppelin]

FREE FTW :D

I just love how they pull out that classic heavy guitar tone. LOVE IT

[impala327]

Killer. The overdubbed guitar solos are masterful.

[eldorado303]

i still remember that day on isle of wight, was pretty fun... yummi yummi

[Jimbothy]

Is this the studio version because the live version (or the music video) version is amazing.

[dano3564]

This is better than any Bad company song...

[AskWhyNow2day]

Paul Kosoff could never be replaced.

But there are songs Rodgers did with Bad Co, that are almost the equal of what he did in Free.

[ReneeNme]

@dano3564 Although I am a big fan of both bands I would have to whole heartedly agree.

[gigica44]

@dano3564 Who cares about comparing two good bands that will remain alive forever???

[happygleason]

@dano3564 much better......too bad the 70s music is mostly forgotten

[Fight4YourFeelings]

@dano3564

Bad Company is still good though

[GIORGOSGUNIT]

@dano3564 haha you made me laugh

[biotonk]

@dano3564 Tell me something I don't know !

[AgentCarter]

@dano3564 its very much like the bad company style though.

and i disagree, simple man is better than this

[columbusdinner]

@dano3564 You must be crazy

[snakeurmaw]

@dano3564 is it fuck man ur talking shit!!!!

[PanicItsADino]

rad (:

[mlarison85]

My favorite band of all time. They were a live band though. Sound a million times better live. Long live Free!

[BlueRoseRocketBand2]

Lean and mean! But you got a be good and tight. None of that jive ass crap they play today.

A good recording enginer helps too.

[cricketbat08]

what a quality band. Magic!!

[SadBananaCo]

RIP Mr. Kossoff. Epic song 5/5

[kidzsanlorenzo]

simon kirk the best!!

[Maclura53]

some guys like playing music some guys can do so

[samwattele]

Wow, this song is kick ass!

I am more into elktronical music but this rules!

[chasonacoustic]

This song is one bad to bone killer from the true age of Hard rock. FREE and Paul Rogers! Yes!

A band years before their time!

[AlegouveiaII]
