The Firm

Hard rock and roll supergroup the Company united previous Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Web page with onetime Free of charge and Bad Business frontman Paul Rodgers; bassist Tony Franklin and ex-Uriah Heep drummer Chris Slade finished the lineup, founded in 1984. Their self-titled debut recording made an appearance on Atlantic a yr later, cracking the very best 20 on the effectiveness of the hit solitary “Radioactive,” but general the record’s effect was fairly minimal provided the pedigrees of Web page and Rodgers, as well as the a reaction to the group’s lone tour demonstrated remarkably lukewarm. After yet another LP, 1986’s Mean Business, the Company turn off; while Web page and Rodgers resumed their particular solo professions, Franklin afterwards resurfaced in Blue Murder, and Slade became a member of AC/DC.
