Yeah, I saw that on another site earlier. Too bad. He was pretty young. RIP, sir.

I saw this today. Very sad. I enjoyed the Bad Co. years with him in the band quite a bit!

Sad news. I will spin some Bad Company today.

RIP Sir.

I enjoy all eras of Bad Co. I saw them 5 or 6 times in concert with Brian. The first was on the "Dangerous Age" tour. I think Vixen was the opening band. My brother and I went to that show. I saw them 2 times on the Holy Water tour and a couple of times on the "Here Comes Trouble Tour". The last show I went to I had backstage passes and really wanted to meet Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs but I ended up staying in my seat because the girl I was with did not want to go backstage. No way was I leaving her in the crowd by herself. Now that I look back on it I should've ditched her and went backstage.

I found it amusing that Paul Rodgers felt the need to let fans know it wasn't him.

I did like that version of Bad Company, thou when I am in the mood for Bad Company I reach for the classic Paul Rodgers era. I saw Bad Company with Brian Howe around the time of 'Dangerous Age', and it was a great concert.

This version of the band was very successful but it hardly acknowledged but the band or even their fans.

Great vocalist.

I know there was no love lost between the 2 but I thought this was kinda shitty on Paul's part. He just dropped a notch in my book.

I’ve heard the song Holy Water on the radio before and it’s great. I had no idea who it was until now...

I will admit that I only have the first 3 Brian Howe era Bad Co. albums, and not the next couple (or the Live offering), but what I have is pretty bland and generic. Other than "No Smoke" and "Holy Water" it's not very memorable.

All I know is that the song Holy Water is great! I love the melody and groove.

I agree.

The only time I saw Bad Company was with Brian. Great show!! R.I.P.

Great voice! Saw him with Bad Co. A couple times. Really impressed.

He should have got the Foriener gig after Lou ended up sick.

I agree! Foreigner would have been the perfect gig for him.

I read where Paul pulled his video due to irate fans. Simon Kirke finally released a statement as well.
