Rocky4 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Let's go back further....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFBa9dXkcew I might be wrong, but I think it's another case of a singer wanting to do sappy ballads (Styx, R.E.O, Journey) leaving a great guitar player with no vehicle to showcase himself.

LarryUK Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I love 'em. Saw them when 'Urgent' came out. Mick Jones. Great songwriter/producer. Good rhythm player. Dreadful lead player though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Loved them! (still do) Here's our take on double vision from 1978, Jacksonville Arkansas. I played the V. Probably 20 people at the gig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 When I look back through the years, Foreigner was one of those bands that made me want to become a musician. They had so many hits. If you think about it, it's quite a list great songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I saw them in concert last year. New lead singer. He ain't Lou, but he's good. "Feels Like the First Time" still takes me back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5_qhnWByA4 Lou could flat belt it out. Strong voice. Like you Cman, they were a big influence on my early music years playing in a band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 and Mick had such a great knack for coming up with these simple yet catchy rock chord structures that just grab the listeners ear and don't let go. Hot Blooded, Double Vision, Head Games, Urgent, all great stuff. I remember us playing Headknocker in our locker room before every football game our senior year.

saturn Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Our band does Dirty White Boy and the drummer sings it. Great song and he really nails the vocals Every time I hear a song off Foreigner 4, especially "Urgent" it reminds me of the winter we would all pile into my older friend's green Gremlin and drive to the local arcade with a few dollars to play the "newest" video games. You know, Donkey Kong, Tempest, Frogger, Missile Command.... Edit: he always had Foreigner 4 in the cassette deck B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
