Josh Miller from Onmilwaukee.com caught up with legendary BAD COMPANY singer Paul Rodgers (ex-FREE, QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS) to talk about his band's reunion, 40-plus year career in music, and staying humble enjoying the small moments of success. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:

Onmilwaukee.com: Is there anything possibly in the works for Bad Company? What about yourself?

Rodgers: "We had the Wembley Stadium show taped so that'll come out. I'm really pleased with it. We were thinking it over and decided to not touch it with overdubs or anything and just leave it as it is. It was a very magical night that we managed to capture. We're going to Japan next. After that, there are no plans for next year as yet but I try to keep an open mind. I'm writing and working with my solo band and doing some other projects which I can't mention now.

I'm writing all the time. I'm going to record some of them because I need to put some ideas down as they've been in my head for a long time. I have an idea of what the drums will do, what the vocals will do and what the guitars will do. It's nice to put it together and record a demo to get a full sound picture of the song."

Onmilwaukee.com: Bad Company made a lot of big records with songs that seem to really capture the spirit of what rock and roll's about and also that decade.

Rodgers: "When I put the set list together I'm very interested to see how the songs come together. I played in London what people refer to as the LED ZEPPELIN reunion and if the Zeps hadn't played their big hits I would have been disappointed. So when I put together a set I try to include ones that the fans wanted. There was a song called 'Electricland' that I wrote about this life on the road in the '70s when we went through Vegas and how almost unreal it was, this lifestyle that we were living. A lot of the songs reflected what we were going through at the time."
