Foreigner’s Al Greenwood: The Band, The Hall, And More

It was quite the morning to share time with Foreigner's Al Greenwood talking about the band, the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame, and much more! The Mike & Carla Morning Show had the chance to catch up with one of the original members of the band and Al shared quite a lot! Al talked about how the band actually got started, the first time hearing Lou Gramm sing, and why it took so long to get into the Hall of Fame. It seems, like a lot of rockers, it was never easy and without a story. Growing up in New York surrounded by a musical family, Al was transformed into music at an early age. Foreigner's Al Green Talks About Hearing Lou Gramm For The First Time. From buying his first piano to finally getting his shot with Foreigner, every step of the way, it just seemed to be destiny. Al talked about his former bands and facing break-up after break-up because of a lead singer. They would always want to go their own way. With that, Al decided to go to school to learn about music composition, arranging and more. As he put it, to be more self-sufficient as an artist. But nonetheless, Al persevered joining band after band until that one morning the phone rang. After that, he's life would change forever! Getting the call from Mick Jones back in the mid 70s, even then, Al said there was some hesitation. But what changed his mind and got him planted into the band is where the story gets interesting. The M&C Morning Show found Al to be very open about everything and seems at peace with the way his musical journey has turned out. Al was very complimentary to the touring band that performs and keeps the music alive over the course of all these years. In fact, Al is in town with the band at The Venetian through November 10th! Whether your a Foreigner or just a huge fan of music, this is one conversation you have to hear. And if you're in music wondering about your own fate, it might even be inspiring enough to help you continue. So, take a couple of minutes, take a listen and enjoy! https://963kklz.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2024/11/FOREIGNER-AL-GREENWOOD-11-1-24_1730490894_.mp3
