Foreigner ‘Cold As Ice’ Like You’ve Never Heard It
by Best Classic Bands StaffCold As Ice” is certainly one of our favorite Foreigner songs and it’s good to know that this little dude’s parents have successfully indoctrinated him into classic rock early, as you can see by his skill on lead vocals and drums.
Look at that concentration! We think the kid has a big future in rock ‘n’ roll, don’t you? (Only Rover seems unimpressed.)
“Cold As Ice” was the second Top 10 single from the band’s 1977 self-titled debut album, peaking at #6 nationally. (Their first single was “Feels Like The First Time” which reached #4.) The classic rock band earned nine Top 10 singles during their career including the 1984 #1 smash, “I Want to Know What Love Is.”
The band formed in 1976 with a combination of British and American musicians: Mick Jones, Lou Gramm, Ian McDonald, Dennis Elliott, Ed Gagliardi and Al Greenwood.
