I think when the new FOREIGNER plays, I've heard that he comes on for one song and then waves and goes offstage. Two original members of the six are now gone. Well, Ian has passed away and Ed Gagliardi passed away, even though he wasn't part of the reunions. Pressed about whether it is "over now" for him and FOREIGNER, Lou said: "I think so, yeah. At the end of the song, the last song hit, and there wasn't a quarter of a second of space before he was yapping away to the audience… It was, like, 'Jeez, will you quiet down for a minute?'" After a song ended, I couldn't even get a word to thank the audience or tell 'em that I was happy to be part of the reunion. But let his own influences show - show the fans that he's the new singer now, not me."Īsked what it was like to share the stage with Hansen and other members of the current and original FOREIGNER lineup in 20 to celebrate the band's 40th anniversary, Lou told : "It was okay. "I don't think he should sing the songs verbatim like me," Lou added. "You're a singer with a big band like that - use your voice and your style.

But I think Mick really told Kelly, when he first got in the band, that he had to study me, because he sings those songs with the same musical innuendos and vocal licks and ad-libs as I have. Gramm's latest comments were similar to those he made a little over two months earlier when he told John Beaudin of about Hansen: " Kelly is all right. He should have his own ad-libs that are his own he doesn't have to mimic me." But he mimics my style right down to the ad-libs, and I'm offended by that… I just think that if he's gonna sing the songs, he could sing the melodies that are familiar, but when it comes to the ad-libs and all the little things that set me aside as a vocalist when I sing them, he should make his own up. "And he sings those songs okay he sings them good. Last October, Gramm was asked during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk what he thinks of the band's current frontman, Kelly Hansen, who has been in the group for nearly two decades.
