Bad English

       

Bad English was an English/American band that was considered a "supergroup." They combined hard rock with some glam and a bit of metal.

The formed in 1987 and reunited Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain with singer John Waite and bassist Ricky Phillips who were his former bandmates in The Babys, along with Journey guitarist Neal Schon and drummer Deen Castronovo.

The band's name has nothing to do with poor language skills but comes from pool (billiards). The band was playing and when Waite missed a shot Cain said that he had "bad english" referring to the spin a player puts on the cue ball. The band decided to use the phrase.
