    Fabulous. Strange that Howard is acknowledged by the Rock'n'Roll HoF, but not the band that he's been with for years, Bad Company. OK, so he wasn't an original member, but they were the pioneers of a type of blues/rock - rock/blues that was copied by so many bands, especially in the USA.

    This guy deserves to be seen playing the solo in the music video. I mean Nancy appears to be playing it in the video which I understand because of the female power thing but still, they needed to show him specifically playing the main part because that's honest.
