United States (1988 – 1991)
Bad English was an American rock band formed by 3 ex-members of the band The Babys, Jonathan Cain, John Waite and Ricky Phillips (now in Styx) along with Journey guitarist Neal Schon.
The band’s first, self titled album released in 1988, gave the band two hit singles in the United States, “When I See You Smile” and “Price of Love”. However, on their second album, entitled “Backlash”, the one and only single failed to enter the U.S. Top 40, peaking at number 42.
Soon after the band recorded their second album “Backlash” (1991), the group disbanded, even before the album could be mixed. In a later interview, singer John Waite said, that while he enjoyed playing to stadium sized audiences, he wasn’t happy with the corporate rock image that the band presented.
