    I would recomend 10 from 6 for a taste of what Bad Co. *used* to
    be about.  I really don't like their newer stuff!

    Paul was formerly with a band called "Free".....their lone hit was 
    
    "All Right Now"......great classic tune!

    aaack!  We're being invaded!  Not only do I have to work for you,
    be your band manager.. now I have to put up with you in notes too?
    
    ;-)
    
    Steve, welcome aboard!

    CJ-
    
    Please don't subject the poor man to new "Bad Company".  Notice the
    quotes, please.  I don't want him to think that that new stuff has even
    the most remote connection to the good Bad Co.
    
    S
    
    PS.  Kind of like "No Smoke Without a Fire"

    Thanks for the tip on the "new" bad company!  If they're not really the
    bad Bad Company, then they're probably not really bad, get it? :)
    
    
    Steve 
    
    P.S. hey band "manager", when's our next job?!  8)

    No prob.  However, the new Bad Co is bad, but just not bad like the old
    Bad Co.  The old Bad Co was really bad though.  Just not like the new
    Bad Co. which is also really bad.
    
    ;-)Steve

    Steve,
    
    Who are the new bad members of the new Bad Company? Are each of these
    bad guys really bad in their own right?
    
    This is gettin' bad   8)

    I always liked Bad Co....
    
    Why are you guize so down on 'em ??
    
    ;^)

    Coop,
    
    Did I miss sumthin'?  I like 'em too!
    
    Let's play "Shooting Star", Richard sings it. 
    
    Steve 8)

    I'd rather do that song thats about Johnny gettin' a beatles album
    with LoveMeDo... Then dies...Did Hetfield and the Metallica gang write 
    that for BadCo?
      
    ;^)
    jc

    Coop,
    
    yer thinkin of "suicide star" by Johnny Autopsy and the Coroners of
    Death....
    
    "Johnny was a schoolboy when he killed his mom and dad"
    "robbed a bank to pay for drugs, man this boy was bad"

I was given a home-taped compilation from a friend. There was one song on it by 
a band called Rough Diamond. (I forget the name of the song at the moment).
I have been looking for this band for ages, but nothing.

Then I saw that Bad Company had an album called Rough Diamonds, and I wondered
if this was it. So does anyone hve the track listing for this album ??

Thanks in advance.

Brynn.

There was a band Rough Diamond in 1977 made by ex-Uriah Heep singer David Byron
together with other stars (Clem Clemson also from Humble Pie). This band has not
succeeded and disbanded after the first album. At the same time there was also
an unknown Rough Diamonds band who suited Rough Diamond for the name (but I 
think without success). So this is what I know about Rough Diamond.

    re.19
    
      I've got the album Rough Diamond by Rough Diamond.  If you haven't
    heard it, it's a very good album.  I'm really surprised they didn't 
    make it as a band.  Their sound was alot more hard rock (a little 
    "rough" around the edges). I guess their music just didn't fit with 
    the times. 

    
    	Help me out here gang!   What the new line-up for Bad Company?
    
    	They're coming to town in a few weeks and I'm going to check the
    "new" Bad Co. out. I know Paul Rodgers is not with them anymore, but
    what about the rest of the guys? or did a bunch of sessions guys take
    their name?
    
    Thanks!

    Not sure - but the new album is GREAT !  "Holy Water" is the name of
    it, I think.  It's not very close to old Bad Company, but it's still
    worth checking out !
    
    Scary ...
    

Paul Rogers is not with them. (Brian Howe is the new singer.)

Mick Ralphs, the guitarist, played on the album but is not touring with them. 

One of the other two original members (Simon Kirke?) is not touring with them. 

Basically, out of the four original guys, there's only the bassist left, I 
think (Boz Burrell?).

      So has anyone heard Paul Rogers new tune out? I'm not even sure if
    he's part of a band or solo. I heard the tune last weekend....Anyone
    have any info?
    
                               R.B.

    The new band is called  "The Law" ... and the new release has something
    to do with "The Law" in the title.  Bad Company is definitely back,
    just under a different name.
    
    Scary

    He's in a band called THE LAW with Kenny Jones(Faces,Who).
    They're playing a song called "Laying down the Law".
    Don't seem like anything too special to me.

      If ya were used to listening to Free/Badco with Paul and liked his
    style (which I did)..then this is a welcomed release! Well I guess 
    I buy 3 tapes this weekend...2 by KIX and 1 by The Law..
