God Damn Lou Gramm. That asshole had a set of pipes on him.
I think I just broke my throat bone trying to sing Cold As Ice.
Foreigner - Cold As Ice (Live 1978) (via webmasterhot1)
In general this performance is just average, but the keyboard solo that kicks in at the 3:14 mark totally makes it worth it. Skip to there if you’re looking for some gooey analog synthesizer goodness.
Foreigner - Double Vision (Live ‘78) (via The412T2)
Between 1977 and 1984, Lou Gramm was Rochester’s #1 export.
Who’s coming with me to the Amerks game on Saturday?

Immediately after ringing the bell they were met with a chorus of boos and jeers and then the floor broke into a resounding chant of “WE WANT LOU! WE WANT LOU!” because everyone knows that Foreigner without Lou Gramm is like The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger or Led Zeppelin without Robert Plant, which is to say those bands don’t exist without those specific voices booming through the PA. After furiously banging the gavel to quiet the crowd, one lone voice shouted out: “FREEBIRD!”
