Shame that he is capitalizing on the others music. He did write some ok songs himself but the good Badfinger stuff was Pete and Tom's. May they rest in peace. They were fucking great. The key word is "they".

Joey had some GREAT songs in Badfinger, but he really treated the others in the band poorly. If you've ever heard the phone calls of Tom Evans that were taped before he died, they are so revealing. 'He broke the band up. He's done a lot of things." says Tom. They came out with the Badfinger book Without You: The Tragic Story Of Badfinger. Also, Joey acts as if he is constantly buzzed with alcohol and drugs. Check the interview at the end of this.

@soyounoat I disagree that Molland's songs that "all remain in obscurity." Much of his songs are very underrated. Off the top of my head I can name "Constitution," "Icicles," "Should I Smoke," "Suitcase," and "Better Days." All of these songs are on the level of Pete's and Tom's songs in my opinion. He may have been a nasty guy when he was with Badfinger but I always cringe when I hear people say he wasn't a good songwriter. To say that is to undermine the great band that Badfinger was.

@60syeah Th Badfinger boys died in the wrong order... good to nasty. Nasty remains. Tom killed himself after a argument with Molland - Molland wanted a share of Ham & Evans songwriting royalties. Sadly for the kids of Ham & Evans the fucking judge gave it to him..

The Joey Bullshitter show!

It is bullcrap that Joey Molland tours as Badfinger. He should be billed as "Joey Molland Of Bandfinger". He is a good guitar player and has a right to play Badfinger songs live. But Joey and a bunch of schleps is not Badfinger. And Joey didn't write or sing most of the Badfinger classics.

Joey Molland KILLED TOM

@Easy2LearnEnglish It was disgusting! Joey is a nasty man. The glory should go to Tom's son and Pete's daughter.
not off to a good start when you dont have the distortion pedal on

There's bad blood between the Badfinger families and Joey. He accepted an ASCAP award for the success of "Without You" and in his remarks never even bothered to credit Pete & Tom, who wrote it! Too bad the other three members aren't around to set the record straight. Bad show, Joey.
