That kind of different can be a good thing, though. You don't want to make the same album over and over.

If a great band is prolific and has a bunch of material under their belt, everbody identifies with the singer, and everyFREAKINbody on this forum can identify the guitar player at a glance, at least the style and attack. IMHO, you change Either of those two most identifying 'voices' in a band and it aint the same. Even if they're better..... Right or wrong, a band that has copyright hangs on to the name to pay the bills, nobody wants to start off again from the bottom, and 1/3 of the fan base comes out to simply be entertained and hear the songs, they dont give a s#!t whos playing the parts....

So sad to see Lou like that...could happen to anyone. He's in my top five for rock singers for sure.leadfootdriver":9820e said:Randy Van Sykes":9820e said:Lou Gramm has had a hard time with a brain tumor...a friend of mine saw Foreigner with Lou when he recovered and said he couldn't sing it anymore. Lou seemed all out of sorts. ..sad.amiller":9820e said:I saw a band on the tube last night using the name "Foreigner." They sounded very good and kept very close to the originals.
Only ONE of the members was from the original band…the guitar player.
Yeah, I'm guessing that the one original member probably has rights to the name, however, it seems wrong somehow to me that they billed themselves as "Foreigner." Only ONE original memeber...wrong, wrong, wrong!
I saw Journey with a new singer a few years ago and it didn't seem right either.
Man, that dude is barely a shadow of his former self. He could sing his ass off. Who didn't like Foreigner IV?

We make an effort not to repeat ourselves. But it's about what one guy would have done to fill out the sound versus another.

Ya know, thats a perfect example,

Thats why I'm dying to get this project off the ground, so I can go play covers and maybe get paid a few bucks, then get back to my dream of listening to my own CD while driving another blisteringly fast hot rod, having a really hot young rock chick whore blow me, while doin a line, high on mescaline, an hit the divider at 187 mph.
Everybodys gotta have goals......

Thanks for the link. I pulled this quote from the website...sounds positive.
Lou Gramm:
“I am at the point in my life where I can really enjoy the result of my many years of hard work,” says Gramm. “ I am having fun now for the first time in a long time, and I am eager to return to the studio after the current tour to start recording some new music for a couple of different album projects I have planned for the future.”
"For all of his fans, it’s the classic voice they’ve heard for decades on the radio and on their stereos; but for Lou Gramm, it’s a new musical journey that lets him rock on … with family and friends."

Honestly...who knows if you will be as good at making an album in 2 - 5 - 10 years from now.HGainiac69":906fd said:Randy Van Sykes":906fd said:

No Shit... who hasnt looked back at their own catalog, previous recordings, etc, and felt that fire, the energy, and by contrast felt that SOB Time, sneakin up, interfering with that concentration...
The difference, not even in terms of skill or technique, but simply the passion, the joy, thats in a younger man?? Times of the fkn essence....
With that thought in mind, I'll go back again to beating the crap out of the guitar in my lap while I waste more time on this forum waiting for another intersting post..... God help me.....

Life gets in the way too much for me to make a CD (so far)....I was hoping you were better than me at succeeding.

I hear what you guys are saying about time slipping away. My band started an original CD over a year ago. Everyone in the band has a family, day gig and other responsibilities. It's taking us 6 months per song. Yeah, we might have it done in 5 years or so...sucks.
