I loko o ka mōʻaukala o nā mele pop, nui nā papahana mele i hāʻule ma lalo o ka māhele o "supergroup". ʻO kēia nā hihia ke hoʻoholo ka poʻe hoʻokani kaulana e hui pū no ka hoʻomohala hui. No kekahi, ua kūleʻa ka hoʻokolohua, no nā mea ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole nui, akā, ma ke ʻano nui, hoʻāla mau kēia mau mea i ka hoihoi maoli i ka lehulehu. ʻO Bad Company kahi hiʻohiʻona maʻamau o ia ʻoihana me ka prefix super, e pāʻani ana i kahi hui pahū o ka paʻakikī a me ka blues-rock.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka hui ma 1973 ma Lākana a ʻo ia ka mea mele ʻo Paul Rodgers a me ka bassist Simon Kirk, i hele mai i ka hui Free, Mike Ralphs - ex-guitarist o Mott the Hoople, pahu pahu Boz Burrell - he lālā mua o King Crimson.
ʻO Peter Grant akamai, nāna i hana i kona inoa ma ka hana pū ʻana me ʻO Led Zeppelin. Ua kūleʻa ka hoʻāʻo - ua kaulana koke ka hui ʻo Bad Company.
Hoʻomaka mua ʻo Bad Company
Hoʻomaka ʻo "Bad Company" maikaʻi loa, e hōʻole ana i ka manaʻo maʻamau: "e like me kou kapa ʻana i ka moku, pēlā e lana ai." ʻAʻole i noʻonoʻo ka poʻe i ka inoa o ka diski: ʻelua mau huaʻōlelo keʻokeʻo i hōʻike ʻia ma ka envelope ʻeleʻele - "Bad Company".
Ua kūʻai aku ka diski i ke kauwela o 74, a pana koke: No. 1 ma ka Billboard 200, he ʻeono mahina e noho ai ma ka UK album chart list, loaʻa ke kūlana platinum!
Ma hope mai, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ia i loko o nā haneli he nui i kūleʻa i ke kālepa o nā makahiki kanahiku. Ua lawe ʻia kekahi mau mele mele mai ia wahi i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe ma nā palapala o nā ʻāina like ʻole. Eia hou, ua loaʻa i ka hui ka inoa ma keʻano he hui'ahamele ikaika, hiki ke hoʻomaka i ke keʻena mai nā mele mua.
Ma kahi kokoke i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope, i ʻApelila '75, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i kā lākou album lua, i kapa ʻia ʻo Straight Shooter. ʻAʻole i emi iki ka hoʻomau ʻana - me nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma nā helu like ʻole a me nā kiʻekiʻe. Ua makemake nui nā mea hoʻohewa a me nā mea hoʻolohe i nā helu ʻelua - Good Lovin 'Gone Bad and Feel Like Makin' Love.
Me ka lohi ʻole, i ka makahiki 1976 e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo "nā keikikāne maikaʻi" i ke kolu o ka canvas mele - Holo me ka Pack. ʻOiai ʻaʻole i hoʻohauʻoli nui ʻia, e like me nā mea mua ʻelua, ua maikaʻi nō hoʻi ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻokō. Ua manaʻo ʻia ua pio iki ka ʻoliʻoli a me ka ʻiʻini o nā mea hoʻokani pila.
Eia kekahi, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia lākou e ka make mai ka overdose o ka lāʻau lapaʻau o kā lākou hoa aloha, he mea hoʻokani pila i kapa ʻia ʻo Paul Kosoff. Ua ʻike ʻo Rogers lāua ʻo Kirk iā ia mai ka hana pū ʻana i ka hui Free. Wahi a ka hoʻomanaʻo kahiko, ua kono ʻia ka virtuoso e komo i ka huakaʻi ʻo Bad Company, akā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka ʻoihana ...
Ma ke ala knurled Bad Company
ʻO kekahi mau mele ma hope mai he nui nā mea maikaʻi, akā ʻaʻole like me ka momona a nani hoʻi e like me nā mea ma mua. ʻO Burnin' Sky (1977) a me Desolation Angels (1979) hauʻoli ʻia e nā mea pā pōhaku a hiki i kēia lā. Ma ka pololei, pono e ʻike ʻia mai kēlā manawa i iho ai ka ʻoihana o ka hui, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e nalowale i kāna koi mua ma waena o ka mea kūʻai aku i kahi huahana mele.
ʻO Burnin 'Sky, me he mea lā ma ka inertia, ua lilo i gula, akā ua manaʻo ka poʻe hoʻokae mele i nā mele ma luna o ia mea he stereotypical, me nā neʻe wānana. Ma kahi nui, ua hoʻoikaika ka lewa mele i ka manaʻo o ka hana - ua holo piha ke kipi punk, a ʻaʻole i manaʻo maikaʻi ʻia ka pōhaku paʻa me nā kumu blues e like me ka ʻumi makahiki ma mua.
ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa loa ka album ʻelima o Desolation Angels mai ka mea ma mua ma ke ʻano o nā mea hoihoi, akā aia i loko o ka Rock In' Roll Fantasy maikaʻi loa a me kahi pākēneka kūpono o nā kīwī. Eia kekahi, ua hana ka ʻoihana hoʻolālā Hipgnosis i kā lākou mea maikaʻi loa e hana i kahi uhi nani no ka moʻolelo.
Ua lilo loa ia i mea hopohopo no ka hopena o Bad Company i ka wā i lilo ai kona akamai kālā i ke kanaka o Peter Grant, nona ka ʻoihana acumen i kōkua nui i ka kūleʻa pāʻoihana o ka hui, nalowale ka hoihoi iā ia.
Ua paʻi ikaika ʻo Grant ma hope o ka lono o ka make ʻana o kekahi hoa pili, ʻo Zeppelin pahu pahu ʻo John Bonham, i ka makahiki 1980. ʻO kēia mau mea a pau i pili pono i nā mea a pau a ka luna kaulana i mālama a hana ai.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua waiho ʻia kāna mau papa i kā lākou hana ponoʻī. I loko o ka hui, ua piʻi aʻe ka hakakā a me ka hakakā, a hiki i ka hakakā lima a me ka lima ma ke keʻena. ʻO ka album hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo Rough Diamonds i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 1982 hiki ke noʻonoʻo ʻia ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hopena.
A ʻoiai he ʻano hoʻohiwahiwa kona, nā ʻano mele nui, nā ʻano like ʻole a me ka ʻoihana, ua manaʻo ʻia ua hana ʻia ka hana ma lalo o ka paʻakikī, no ka pono o nā kuleana ʻoihana. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopau ʻia ka haku mele mua o ka "hui".
ʻO ka hiki ʻana mai
ʻEhā mau makahiki ma hope mai, i ka makahiki 1986, ua hoʻi mai ka poʻe ʻino, akā me ka ʻole o Paul Rogers maʻamau ma ka micron rack. Ua lawe ʻia ʻo Brian Howe e hoʻopiha i ka hakahaka. Ma mua o ka huakaʻi, ua nalowale ka ensemble a me ka mea hoʻokani bass Boz Burrell.
Ua pani ʻia ʻo ia e Steve Price. Eia kekahi, ʻo Greg Dechert ka mea hoʻokani keyboard, nāna i lawe i ka album Fame and Fortune, hoʻomaha i ke kani. Ua noho mau ʻo Guitarist Ralphs a me Kirk pahu pahu a ua hoʻokumu i ke kumu o ka hui hoʻomana. ʻO ka hana hou he XNUMX% AOR, ʻoiai ke ʻano haʻahaʻa o nā hoʻokō o ka pakuhi, hiki ke manaʻo ʻia he ʻano maʻamau.
I ka makahiki 1988, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi disc i kapa ʻia ʻo Dangerous Age me kahi ʻōpio puhi paka ma ka lima. Ua lilo ka moʻolelo i ke gula, kahi i wehe ai ʻo Howe i ka ikaika piha ma ke ʻano he leo leo a me ka mea kākau o nā mele mele a me ka ikaika.
Ua ulu mau ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ma waena o ka mea mua a me ke koena o nā mea hoʻokani pila ma ka hui, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka album Holy Water (1990) me ka paʻakikī nui, ʻoiai he pahu pahu maikaʻi kona ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā pilikia i ka wā e hana ana i ka disc aʻe me ka inoa wānana Here Comes Trouble ("Here Comes Trouble"). Ua hakakā nā kāne, a ua haʻalele ʻo Howe i ka hui me ka manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole.
I ka makahiki 1994, ua komo ʻo Robert Hart i ka hui. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia kona leo ma nā albums Company Of Strangers and Stories Told & Untold. ʻO ka hope i lilo i hōʻuluʻulu o nā mele hou a me nā hashings o nā mele kahiko, e hōʻike ana i nā hōkū malihini.
I ka wā e hiki mai ana, ua nui nā hanana hou o ka hui stellar, ʻo ia hoʻi, me ka hoʻi ʻana mai o ka charismatic Paul Rogers. Ke manaʻo ʻia nei ʻaʻole i nalowale ka ʻoliʻoli o ka poʻe kahiko, he mea minamina, ʻo kēlā me kēia makahiki ke hele mai nei ka ʻike: ʻae, e nā kāne, ua hala kou manawa ...
