May his memory be a blessing.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let Your perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace through the mercy of God.
Amen.

Radio station out of Rochester, NY 96.5 WCMF.

Damn shame, Im just getting older and losing all my guitar heroes...

I always thought that was a perfectly crafted rock song. Mick brought this over from Mott The Hoople to BC.

 

[Floyd Eye]

Yeah that sucks. He’s been bedridden since 2016.

Bad Company was a bad ass band . As good as the individual talents were , I bought their first album because of the guitar tone . Fantastic player . Great writer . Thanks for the contributions .

Yep. Andy Fraser was bad ass too. And Paul Rodgers. Great band.

Glad the suffering is over.
Had no idea the fella was bedridden.
Thats no way to get to live...

 

[skoora]

R.I.P …love Bad Co. and the tones Mick got. Love how he and the band played only as much as the song or mood needed, never overplaying.

Yeah. Massive stroke shortly after his last performance with Bad Co in 2016.

Damn!
I must be living under a rock anymore, dont remember that.
Thanks for the info Floyd!

 

[skoora]

Yeah. Massive stroke shortly after his last performance with Bad Co in 2016.

…and his last note is still sustaining. He just won’t return from getting his sandwich.

 

[ibenhad]

Damn that's a bummer. Every cover band I have ever been in played at least one Bad Co. song.

 

[Rocker68]

Probably my favorite Les Paul tone is on that first album . That and Mike Bloomfield on Super Sessions . Reverend Willie G not far behind . Wonder what amp Mick used on the Rock Steady solo ???

 

[Wetordry]

So many great songs.

Remember staying up late to watch the boys on Midnight Special. A couple of those records were part of the soundtrack of my youth. Just great, straight up hard rock. RIP MICK

Andy Fraser was in Free not Bad Co. but he was indeed a badass
