I am happy to see a Forum for Foreigner Fans old and NEW!! The line-up since 2005 is holding true to its original songs adding enough pazazz to spice up new interest in the "old stuff"..the concerts are full of energy and the guys look like they are having so much fun! Kelly Hansen has awesome vocals and great showmanship..always exciting to see which colorful shirt is he going to come out and wear! Jeff Pilson has enormous energy on the guitar adding his version of "hair mashing" throughout an entire show...amazing how he hasn't snapped his neck yet! Thom Gimbel kicks ass on the Saxophone, Rythym Guitar, Flute and backround vocals...he steals the show with "Urgent" everytime...he has also found some new gear..making him look even younger and hotter than he already is..LOL.! Jason Bonham is a monster drummer..shows off his talent on "Juke Box Hero..Extended Version"...when I grow up..I want to be a drummer too!! Jeff Jacobs..might as well call him the "Keyboard King" the guys a master on 10 fingers..effortlessly BRINGS IT ON every show! Mick Jones..phenominal..legendary..truely sensational..a timeless classic all on his own!

Yeah..we all know its not the ORIGINAL line-up...but IT IS THE LINE-UP!!!!...and these guys are tearing it up on Tour! If they are coming to a location near you...dont miss out!! check them out....YOU WONT REGRET IT!!

rock on guys!!

Bravo Kellygirl! well said. I too have had the pleasure of seeing these boys recently. You can't get any more original than this. Mick remains, with Keyboardist Jeff Jacobs and Multi-instrumentalist Tom Gimbel each delivering over a dozen years of rockin' melodies. (btw:Amazing Sax Tom!!!) Jeff Pilson Jams, Jason Bonham Bangs, and Kelly Hansen masterfully Hails as lead singer! I love this band! They are currently rocking Germany, with a stop in Switzerland before they head back for the states. Don't miss this tour. Satisfaction guaranteed! Girls get ready to swoon, Boys get ready to rock! I'm going to do both..Literally!

Great band who still sound excellent.

Lou Gramm was a fantastic vocalist but even in the early 80`s, Lou struggled with certain high notes when performing live.
Kelly hits all the notes for me, excellent.

Just ordered my ticket to see them in November at Wolverhampton Civic Hall, cant wait.......

Just saw them last Wednesday and I have to agree with what people have been commenting on here for months, Kelly sounds GREAT! It's surely a showman and you can almost forget for a while that he's not always been the lead singer of that band. Jeff was cool, Jason ROCKED and I thought it was a really good show! The crowd really seemed to be into it as well.
