I take it you've seen the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode where the Mooninites discover the awesome power of the 'Foreigner Belt' which causes effects based on Foreigner songs like 'Cold As Ice'.

It deals with Foreigner and Porn...what more could you want? Here's a clip:

Originally, however it depends which urgent mp3, Tom Gimbel is the current sax player with the new line up, kelly hanson has replaced Lou Gramm on vocals and they are both highly talented, also interestingly Jason Bonham son of the late great John, is thier new percussionist, they have currently finished touring in this country, but WILL be back next year, go and see them, I need the money.

Fantastic sax player and on July 5th 1987, he got me backstage at B'ham NEC as I was waiting to see Billy Joel with whom he was playing. I had always liked Joel up to his dire Uptown Girl song, but didn't stop me wanting to see him live. Waited backstage in the heat and Mark saw me and got me past security to watch the soundcheck. He also got the band to sign all my Billy Joel albums. Him and drummer, Liberty DeVito were really top blokes. Billy was also nice.......and a lot shorter than I imagined.

Early Billy Joel stuff ie 52nd Street, The Stranger, Turnstyles, Streetlife Serenade etc are excellent Steve, I lost intrest with Glass Houses to Innocent Man.
I know Marino is also a fan of Joel
