As much as I would love Zep to do more gigs I seriously am desperate for Foreigner to stop!

Their sappy song and the singer's ridiculous dialogue were hilarious. :) (no offense intended ahmet)

:hysterical:

I don't have anything against Foreigner but that really made me laugh!

I want to know why they thought it a good idea to bring in a childrens choir to sing along:

'I Want To Know What Love Is,

I Want You To Show Me'

:blink::unsure:

Maybe they got the idea off Neil Young? He had a 100 strong choir on Living With War, and he's got a kids choir thingy on Chrome Dreams 2. Maybe choirs are the "in thing" at the moment?

I was more perplexed by the inappropriateness of the lyrics for the children to sing.

I think it was just to emphasize the huge gulf between the headliners and almost every other band on the planet. I remember having to wade through hours of crap like Chas n Dave and Commander Cody at Knebworth. Actually most of the support was pretty good, especially Paul Rodgers. Could have done without fanfare for the common man though!

I really enjoyed that, but then I'm partial to a bit of prog! Agree about Paul Rodgers, he still has one great voice.

It's not even really Foreigner anymore, there's no Lou Gramm. It's just Mick Jones with a bunch of other guys, calling it Foreigner.

They were at best, a decent cover band. Saw them in their heydays, and this wasn't the same band. Was I ever glad to stuck to one song.

If John Paul Jones decided to tour under the name Led Zeppelin, with a Page imitator, a Plant sound-alike and a generic drummer, would anyone say "but they sounded great?"

I think it was very classy of Mick Jones to allow and support Jason in playing this reunion gig.

Let's be frank, now, Mick Jones doesn't need to "allow" Jason Bonham to do anything. Jason can do what he wants. Jones is a very rich man (his current wife is also a minor aristocrat) and he has sold millions of albums, but in what might politely be described as the twilight of his career, having Jason Bonham in his band has helped him sell tickets and given a version of Foreigner that now consists solely of Jones and a few hired hands, some semblence of individuality and interest.

Many people would have been surprised to learn that Foreigner were even still together, if it wasn't for their appearance at this show. I suspect that if Zeppelin had told Jones that Foreigner could only play the 02 with thermometers protruding from their rear ends while singing "I'm hot blooded, check it and see…" Jones would have gone along with it :-)

Mick Jones wrote all Foreigner songs, and music, and really created the band back when he was hangin out with The Beatles. They are a really good band right now, the current guys which include Jeff Pilson (Dokken) on bass, and Kelly Hansen (Hurricane), is a good singer. These guys have been playing together for about 4-5 years now and they are tight!!!

Unfortunately, Lou Gramm has had some medical problems that have affected his ability to sing.

Perhaps Michael Jackson had made the request.

I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE FEELS AS I DO ABOUT FOREIGNER!!!!!! They are so lame. It was like very weird for me to see they were opening for Zep. NO OFFENSE AT ALL TOWARDS JASON BONHAM. He is a living legacy and an awesome musician.
