Foreigner
Arena Rock
History of Foreigner
Foreigner was formed by Mick Jones after his former band, the Leslie West Band, broke up. After many auditions and trials with musicians, the final band was made of Mick Jones, Thom Gimbel, Jeff Pilson, Kelly Hanson, Michael Bluestein, Chris Frazier, and Bruce Watson. They decided to be named Foreigner because at least half of the band would be out of their home country wherever they toured because half were from America and the other half from the UK. The band released their debut album in 1977 called Foreigner and it earned a gold album while peaking in the top 20 albums in America. Foreigner recorded eight additional studio albums afterwards and has toured since then.
