A Soundtrack for my Life

Bad Company were an English blues rock supergroup founded in 1973, consisting of band members from Free (Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs), and King Crimson (Boz Burrell). Bad Company was managed by Peter Grant, who had also guided Led Zeppelin to massive success. The band enjoyed great success throughout the 1970s.

The band split up in 1982, but was re-formed in 1986.  By this time, Paul Rodgers was engaged in a new supergroup called The Firm, so the three remaining members hired ex-Ted Nugent vocalist Brian Howe as the new lead singer, Steve Price as the new Bass player and Greg Dechert (ex-Uriah Heep) on keyboards.  The band had limited success mainly because it sounded rather contrived with a pop-rock flavor.  Howe left the band in 1994.

The remaining band members hired Robert Hart, ex-Distance vocalist, and released one album in 1995 that tanked. 

In 1998, Paul Rodgers returned to Bad Company between 1998 and 2002 to put together a compilation album with four new songs.  The new tracks appeared on the 1999 compilation album called The Original Bad Company Anthology which crawled to #189. Many fans were displeased with the track listing which left off many hits, although a number of rare tracks did appear. Bad Company toured with Paul Rodgers for only 30 dates in the U.S.; the tour drew well.

Bad Company

Company Always on the run
Destiny is the rising sun
Oh I was born 6-gun in my hand
Behind a gun I’ll make my final stand
That’s why they call me

Bad company
And I can’t deny
Bad company
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
Till the day I die

Rebel souls
Deserters we are called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns
They all know our name 6-gun sound is our claim to fame
I can hear them say

Bad company
And I won’t deny
Bad Bad company
Till the day I die
Till the day I die
