[Harsh! :lol:

Some of their songs are horribly syrupy, but their good stuff is really good.

:lol:

i dunno, that "i wanna know what love is" song has kinda blighted them for me. it's like the worst, cheesiest song ever... and I like 80's rock/metal!

+1
they had so many good songs and were great to see live
Strangely - one of my fave gigs by them was them at London's Marquee club with Johnny Edwards (ex -Montrose/ King Kobra) replacing Lou Gramm on the Unusual Heat tour

Admittedly I wanna know what love is did make me gag , but the rest of their output was ace

People forget that they were essentially a British band with an American singer........

But funnily enough, it's one of those songs that actually sounds good if you haven't heard it for a few years - once you've forgotten how annoying it was when it was on the radio all the time. Much like Wind Of Change by Scorpions, in fact!

I think the worst Foreigner songs are the album tracks with Mick Jones on vocals - he has such a twee little voice. But I only have the early albums, I don't know if he ever sings on the later stuff.

Back on topic:

Well, I'm registered for Zeppelin tickets. Npw let's wait and see what happens on Oct 1st. I suppose most of them will be given away to people like Abi Titmuss and former Big Brother contestants...

i dunno, i never heard it on heavy rotation on the radio and it still makes me cringe...

Philly Q · « **Reply #35 on:** September 12, 2007, 10:27:42 PM »

Actually, thinking about it, it's Waiting For A Girl Like You I've been hearing recently. :oops:

I Want To Know What Love Is does make me cringe a bit... I love Lou Gramm's vocal for the first couple of verses, but the gospel choir makes me feel slightly pukey...

Can someone update me please, what was again the reason why we, in this thread about the greatest bands of all times, suddenly speak about Foreigner?

I think they should allocate the tickets by the number of Zep songs applicants can play. Maybe at least then I'd have a slight chance to get a pair 8)

That was my fault :oops: - the show's a tribute to the late Ahmet Ertegun and, as one of Atlantic Records' all-time most successful acts, Foreigner are, according to some sources, on the bill.

Hmmm. Do you think I could scr@pe in on the intro to Stairway and a couple of little bits of Heartbreaker and Communication Breakdown? :?

am in india at the moment... the reunion was mentioned on the national news.

still can't get the registration page to come up, apparently around 20 million are already registered! snowball, hell, anyone?

Me neither but if the 02 dome holds 18000 and 20000000 have registered then the odds of getting a ticket based on that are 1.1000,000/1
So you have 12 times more chance of winning a zepp ticket than the lottery!
So shall we meet at the bar inside the dome?

1.1 million to 1? but only 20 people would get in!
closer to 1000/1, surely (18000 x 1000= 18,000,000)

EDIT: BTW, best way of registering is to open each new page in 10 tabs, and bombard all of them with your details at once- 2 of mine got through.

Yes a rather large miscalculation there on my part!

I did fill out the form 3 times on the web page but I don't know if the info was received. Did you get a conformation?

I was wondering if my pals in the whole lotta led tribute might get an invite. They got one for the DVD premier a few years back.

plastercaster · « **Reply #43 on:** September 13, 2007, 07:36:54 PM »

I got a little message saying my info had been received and a confirmation email a few hours later

blue · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2007, 10:24:21 AM »

finally got registered, see you all there!!! :P
