Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
seems like spite may fuel Mick's creativity well- i have to imagine the original B.A.D members must have felt about the success of The Globe, the same way Joe must have felt about B.A.D.'s first album...

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Always found it strange that The Globe did zilch in the UK but was a massive hit in the US and Australia. I wasn't even aware until years later it was so successful.

Rush is the BAD song most American non-fans actually know.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
oh wow, i just assumed it had done the same in the UK as the US- Rush & Globe was inescapable, on the radio, all day every day. I even went to a listening party for it on the day of the release- which sounds so quaint now..

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Probably, I imagine, because it was the most rock-ish thing BAD had done. It was easier to categorize and market, so it got more airplay.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Yeah. It’s accessible and catchy. And if I recall correctly it showed up on a few film soundtracks circa 1992-1994.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Mar 2021, 12:36pmProbably, I imagine, because it was the most rock-ish thing BAD had done. It was easier to categorize and market, so it got more airplay.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Sorry I wasn't clear, I meant the album rather than the song. I know Rush was the biggie that no doubt helped the album sell.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Im glad Mick got so much attention with Rush/Globe. He all but disappeared to most people in the US with Higher Power and F-Punk. Between pop punk, grunge and Britpop those albums fell right thru the cracks.
Hello? Go ahead, man. Yeah I'd just like to say, um, lets have some music now, huh? Ok, ok...thank you.

I think those albums just weren't up to scratch. I'm not a huge fan of the Globe but the quality really dropped after it.YoungParisians wrote: ↑08 Mar 2021, 12:56pmIm glad Mick got so much attention with Rush/Globe.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Yeah. I was really hyped for Higher Power and it just...didn’t do anything for me. Then I was hoping F-Punk was a return to form, and it wasn’t.Heston wrote: ↑08 Mar 2021, 1:05pmI think those albums just weren't up to scratch.

Perhaps the most American thing about me is I genuinely like most of The Globe.

Seriously. After that album, Mick's muse abandoned him.Heston wrote: ↑08 Mar 2021, 1:05pmI think those albums just weren't up to scratch.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
I think Higher Power has some solid stuff on it. It's just a change of direction from Mick.
Not surprising that a lot of fans don't care for it.
As for F Punk it suffers badly from that poor mix.

Im probably in the minority here but BAD always wrote really great half-albums.
