SIMON KIRKE
Along with CREAM and LED ZEPPELIN, FREE stands as
one of the most influential bands of the late 1960?s
British blues boom.
Bad Company was a British rock band founded in 1973,
consisting of band members from Free (Paul Rodgers,
Simon Kirke), Mott The Hoople (Mick Ralphs) and King
Crimson (Boz Burrell). They consequently took their
first inspiration for the band and its name and 1973
radio play hit, also of the same name, from the 1972
classic Western, "Bad Company" that starred Barry
Brown and Jeff Bridges. They then became one of the
early supergroups of the 1970's.
Bad Company is one of a handful of bands that
literally define Rock and Roll. For 21 years, Bad
Company has epitomized a style that values song form
and the band concept over the particular of
individual solo careers. In the process, Bad Co
built itself into one of rock?s most durable and
popular touring acts, providing the standard by
which such disparate groups as Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bon
Jovi and the Black Crowes have publicly measured
themselves.
