Bad
company
Сформированный в 1973 году, британский хард-роковый проект "Bad company" включал в себя экс-басиста " King Crimson" Боза Баррелла, гитариста из "Mott the Hoople" Мика Ралфса, а также вокалиста Пола Роджерса и барабанщика Саймона Кирка, бывших членов " Free". С мощным вокалом Роджерса и блюзовой гитарной работой Ралфса, "Bad company" стали первой группой подписанной к записывающей компании " Led zeppelin" -"Swan song". Одноименный дебютный альбом 1974 года, записанный в особняке Пода Роджерса в течение всего двух недель, стал международным хитом, возглавившим также американские чарты, а сингл "Can't Get Enough of Your Love" разместился на самой верхушке хит-парадов. Этот диск получил "платину" в Штатах и "золото" в Англии.
Глэм-рок на базе хард-энд-хэви пришелся по душе миллионам слушателей. На следующий год "Straight Shooter" также имел большой успех, сопровождавшийся хитом "Feel Like Makin' Love". Диск 1976 года "Run With the Pack" стал третьим по счету альбомом команды, тираж которого перевалил за миллион экземпляров.
"Bad company" держали в напряжении хит-парады мира вплоть до 1979 года, пока не вышел диск "Desolation Angels", на котором были использованы синтезаторы и струнные. Несмотря на то что одна композиция из этой работы автоматически попала в американский Топ 20, уровень этого альбома оказался значительно ниже предыдущих. Появился эстрадный налет, явно рассчитанный на коммерчески легкий успех, и даром это не прошло. "Bad company" ушли в подполье на целых три года. А когда очередной диск, "Rough Diamonds", также потерпел фиаско, команда пропала из поля зрения на четыре года. В 1986-м Ралфс и Кирк возродили "Bad company", завербовав на замену Роджерсу вокалиста Брайена Хоу, ранее работавшего с Тедом Ньюджентом.
Дебютный альбом обновленного состава "Fame and Fortune", снова постигла коммерческая неудача, однако диск 1988 года, "Dangerous Age", уже имел некоторый успех. Следующая пластинка поднялась еще выше, а мощная баллада "If You Needed Somebody" заняла место в лучшей двадцатке.
Диск 1992 года, "Here Comes Trouble", получил платиновый статус, а композиция "How About That" попала в американский Топ 40. К своему двадцатилетию "Bad company" расширились до квинтета. В составе появились басист Рик Виллс и ритм-гитарист Дейв Колвелл. В этой "конфигурации" группа выпустила концертник "The Best of Bad Company Live...What You Hear Is What You Get", состоящий из лучших старых вещей. После выхода еще двух альбомов решено было вернуться к оригинальному составу. В 1998-м Роджерс, Ралфс, Кирк и Баррелл снова собрались вместе. "Bad company" записали несколько новых треков и вкупе со старыми вещами издали их на "The Original Bad Company Anthology", после чего совершили турне, посвященное их воссоединению.
В 2000 году Роджерс и Кирк занялись сольными работами, активно гастролируя. Ралфс и Баррелл предпочитали отдыхать. В 2002-м в составе "Bad company" кроме Роджерса и Кирка играли Дейв Колвелл и басист Яз Лохри.
