Pete, Tom and Mike, rest in peace, Badfinger is one of the best bands in history, what a shame that they don't have the recognize that they deserve

[sabrinatscha]

Badfinger is one of my dads favorite bands. He can’t listen to any of their songs without tearing up. I think it reminds him too much of his childhood but also the bands tragic end. It makes me sad to see him like that so I want to start crying too.

RIP Badfinger 😢

[catsofsherman]

Badfinger one of my all time favorite bands. Their music holds up very well. Four talented singers and songwriters with a great sound. Look forward to new music from Joey. Mark Hudson an excellent choice of collaborator. Always enjoyed his work with Ringo.

[SuperAnimelover]

Love Badfinger but it makes you sad to think of their Tragedies !

[artdingo]

This is most exciting! Joey Molland and Mark Hudson have really made a very BEATLES sounding record. It rocks!

[joebloggs]

we saw JOEYlive here in ROCHESTER N.Y. few years ago..he really is a great guy..talked to my wife and i a long time, , funny as hell..

[greghenderson]

I was 20 feet away from meeting Joey at a hippie fest show and I didn’t go up and introduce myself I wish I had !! One of my biggest guitar influences !

[Stonky]

This is a band whose sad story would make a great biopic. They are the best example of predatory management killing a band. The Behind the Music episode is floating around YT, it is a heck of a watch.

John great interview with Joey. I enjoyed the Badfinger music from the 1970s. Looking forward to hearing the new music 🎶 🎵

[jamescampbell]

Talented, tragic outfit who deserved better. RIP guys, you are missed!

[norwichnorfolk]

Listen to their music often and bought the records back in the day. Hopefully going to put flowers on his grave later this year. Rest in the peace you all deserve.

[Kristina-gvsg]

God bless this incredibly talented group.

I am a long long time Badfinger admirer. Do have the majority of their albums and even two hard to find Pete Ham s' solo cds with many demos or recorded ideas to develop as songs. I think that their record company (Apple or Warner), did loose the oportunity to release more singles, that deserved to be hits (like "We ' re for the Dark", "Midnight Caller", "Better Days", "Love Me Do", "Sweet Tuesday Mornibg", "Perfection", "Shine on" or "Know One Knows", "Love is Gonna Come At Last", "Just a Chance", "Miss You" and many others. And the best example of this being "Without You", a hit for Nillson, Air Supply, Heart and many others.

Joey performed very well during the "It Was 50 Years Ago" tour with Todd and Christopher.

[WilliamHMusic-oldschool]

Badfinger was an amazing band that had so many great songs and albums...looking forward to Joey's new release.

[garyborowitz]

I saw them twice, once with Pete Ham and they were great, Billy Joel opened for them before he was popular. They were very tight live. Then I saw them with just Joey and Tommy and they still were good but not the same. They were very tight live and great vocals. Just sad. I know Joey Molland wasnt a fan of the Dan Matovina book and there was talk he was going to write a book. Just sad how they ended. Thank you for doing the interview, its rare he does them, why you are the best John...

[ijeff]

I've got to say the new album "Be True To Yourself" is outstanding. I really didn't expect it to be this good. His voice sounds much better on this album than in recent performances. The production is very bright and clean which is perfect for these fresh sounding retro pop songs. The songs are consistently good from beginning to end. This is easily his best post-Badfinger work.

[surfrby]

Loved this interview, and I loved Badfinger, I saw Joey play at The Winery in Boston two years, Band was good, they played all the hits and he told some wonderful stories

[semmcstevenson]

I’m new to Badfinger other than the “ Hits”. Killer band. So many Gems. The song from 1979 “ Sympathy” is awesome. Has some cool ass bass playing by Tom Evans. So 70’s.

[beatlefan]

Love The Interview and can't wait to hear more! HUGE fan of the band. I've had the chance to see (and meet) Joey twice. Can't wait for the new album .
