It's unfortunate that he blew his voice out earlier in the show...not one of his finest moments...but a bad night for Lou Gramm is better than a great night for lesser mortals LOL
I just saw Foreigner?? minus Lou Gramm & minus Mick Jones(someone stood in for him, don't remember the name & don't know why)..Kelly Hanson doesn't look bad for 50 & he hopped around like a kid..The only song he sang which he originally sang was "Can't Slow Down"..He didn't sing "When It Comes To Love" or "In Pieces" which I happen to like..But, but, but he cannot compare to Lou live..We all love the Foreigner sound but the Voice belongs to Lou!
I like Lou Gramm's vocal's on every song, but I like Kelly Hanson vocals on Hot Blooded better I don't know why... But Lou is the original so he will always be better...
@wclehr and why in the hell Kelly Hanson didn't make any Hit's songs like Lou Gramm when he was in his old group/band? why leave his band and join Foreigner if he's that good? Do you know any hit song he ever sang and made it to the top 10 Billboard? YES! you are entitled to your own opinion don't ever watch Lou Gramm if you don't like what you hear just stick with your Kelly Hanson.
great song and voice but not even close to the best ever! bruce dickinson freddy mercury just to mention a couple even new groups like avenged sevenfold have more range
if i hear Lou in interviews ,i would never think that he can sing like this.he's voice is "normal",not like Billy Idols voice he even speaks with a bariton -voice .
I watched them over the summer in Prince Frederick, MD. I know its not the original members but they still put on one hell of a show. They were so awesome
Foreigner just isn't Foreigner without Lou Graham. Yeah Kelly Hansen is talented, but he performs off of the bar that Lou set. Just watch a live performance of "I Want to Know what Love Is". Amazing
what is sad about most rock singers is that we as fans here the studio cut of them and most studio cuts of these singers are all young singers when they record these great songs, and as they get older they start to lose that edge that make that song so good like Lou,or Jimmy Jamison two of the greatest vocalist just to name a few, but that's apart of getting old I guess.
Lou is struggling here... bloody hard song to sing at the end of a gig when your hot and bothered... it can really fry your voice !! Lou was the original.. but really.. Kelly Hansen is a better frontman... the band are better now than they ever were... Hansens vocals are always top notch.. he has his own style but of course emulates Gramm at the same time.. if you havent seen em with Kelly... do a youtube search.. lots of clips of the new band.. the new album is great too..!!
I don't know who this dude is but I saw Foreigner recently in Detroit and the current band is better than the origninal one. Mick Jones is the only one still with the band from the original lineup. I was stunned by what I saw. Check them out if you love Foreigner songs. I took my young son who loves 80's rock. I did not want to go cause I love Lou's voice. Wow. Was I in for a surprise.
Touring takes a toll on a singers voice. And lou graham was not a trained singer he just sang from his guts .ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS IN ROCK THERE EVER WAS!
Fact is. There are more technical singers then Lou ever was. But what they can't add to there singing, is the amazing tune, that he possessed once. He had this one of a kind way of adding pitch from rockers heaven.
Go search for their Live performances in CAL Jam II singing Starrider, Cold As Ice, and Feels Like The First Time in the late 70s. Compare the hair and clothes they wore then and you would know what I mean. I love the band but the fashion then suited them rockers better.
I finally heard it the way Foreigner wanted me to hear it and Dude let me tell you this song ROCKS!!!! It has everything you need Great lyrics, Great music Great solo...performed well!!!! Thank Foreigner You have helped my band!!!!
Yeah...sounds like he had a cold. Sometimes altitude can affect a singer due to the pressure on the whole aural system. Japan is pretty high altitude I think. Maybe that was it.
WOW, this was a overall tough concert for Foreigner, "ROCK 85 JAPAN" its like every song they played there were plenty of errors.. not like them.. i wish i knew the story behind it all !!!
Love this man
