The Law (band)

The Law (band)

The Law were an English rock group formed in 1991 comprising of ex-The Who/The Faces drummer Kenney Jones and former Free/Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers. The two teamed up with the idea of using different supporting musicians, in order to allow Paul Rodgers to pursue whatever musical style he felt like. They assembled a core band of studio musicians, including guitarist John Staehely and bassist Pino Palladino, and landed guest spots from guitarists like David Gilmour, Bryan Adams, and Chris Rea. They produced Billboard's #1 AOR Chart hit "Laying Down The Law" written by Rodgers, but the album peaked at a disappointing #126 on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart. An album of out-takes from the first albumfact|date=September 2007 has been released as a bootleg, often referred to as "The Law II".

The Law played one show at Milton Keynes Bowl supporting ZZ Top and Bryan Adams they were joined for this show by John Young on keyboards.

The third reason is the correct one...fact|date=September 2007
