The Story
Picture yourself cruising down a sun-drenched highway, the wind in your hair, as the soaring melodies of Bad English blast from the speakers. This hard rock supergroup emerged from the vibrant music scene of Los Angeles, bringing together the talents of former Babys members John Waite and Ricky Phillips, alongside Journey’s Neal Schon and Deen Castronovo. With a knack for crafting anthemic tunes, they delivered unforgettable hits like "When I See You Smile" and "Price of Love," which still resonate with fans today. Their distinct sound melds catchy hooks with powerful vocals, capturing the essence of a generation that thrived on rock ballads and electrifying riffs. Bad English may have been short-lived, but their music remains a timeless soundtrack for those who remember the joy of rock 'n' roll in its prime.
