Rock's Burning Heart: A Tribute to Foreigner's Timeless Tracks with Ben Maynard

The Ben Maynard Program

As my wingman and I fire up the mics, we're not just talking about any band; we're unpacking the legacy of Foreigner, a group that's etched its music into the milestones of our lives. We swap stories that dance through the adrenaline-fueled "Feels Like the First Time" and the everlasting impact of their self-titled debut. It's not just a chat; it's a tribute to the anthems and ballads that scored our coming-of-age, all while we eagerly anticipate the thrill of their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination.
This episode is a treasure trove of nostalgia, woven with tales from our youth, like crafting makeshift drum risers and belting out Foreigner hits with more passion than pitch. We don't just reminisce; we dissect the band's discography, from the monumental "4" to the heartrending "I Want to Know What Love Is." Our discussion reveals little-known gems like Thomas Dolby's contributions, and we even pull out vintage merch to heighten the throwback vibe. We honor the unmistakable voice of Lou Gramm and the masterful musicianship that made tracks like "Urgent" stand the test of time.
Capping off the session, we relive the electrifying Foreigner concert experiences, from the "Mr. Moonlight" tour to the lineup shifts and the introduction of Kelly Hansen as the band's frontman. Our personal anecdotes of snagging autographs and bringing the next generation into the Foreigner fold round out an episode that's not just a look back, but a toast to the enduring power of rock. Join us as we celebrate Foreigner's indelible influence and the connections their music continues to forge, in a conversation that's as heartfelt as the ballads they're known for.#tellyourstory #familymatters #thebenmaynardprogram #classicrock #foreignerband #lougramm #mickjones #rockandrollhalloffame #coldasice #doublevision #urgent
