Bad English was an American rock band supergroup formed in 1988, reuniting
keyboardist Jonathan Cain with singer John Waite and bassist Ricky Phillips,
his former bandmates in The Babys.

The members decided on a name for the band while playing pool. John Waite
missed a shot and Jonathan Cain made a comment on how bad his "english"
was (referring to the spin a player puts on the cue ball) and the band decided
to use the phrase.[1] This official story differs from the urban legend
suggesting that "Bad English" was chosen to mock the name of some of the
members' previous band, The Babys, a name which is obviously misspelled.

Jonathan Cain and guitarist Neal Schon, who had enjoyed enormous success
in Journey, continued on to form Bad English with Waite after Journey
disbanded. The first album, eponymously titled, was a big seller with three hit
singles (including the number one hit When I See You Smile written by Diane
Warren) and top 10 hit "Price of Love" and "Possession". Another track from
the debut album, the AOR song "Best of What I Got", as featured in the
soundtrack to 1989's Tango and Cash.

The band's second album, 1991's "Backlash" came and went without any
fanfare. The one and only single "Straight To Your Heart" just missed the Top
40, bailing out at #42. Ricky Phillips writes on his website that the group had
parted company before the second album had been mixed. Both Phillips and
guitarist Neil Schon expressed frustration with the "pop" side of the bands
songs and wanted a harder edge. In the end, it proved to be the band's
undoing as everyone left to pursue other projects.

The band had enjoyed a brief but rewarding experience of playing glam
metal. The second album, Backlash, was released well after the group had
disbanded.

In later interviews Waite revealed that although he loved playing to stadium
sized audiences, he was uncomfortable with the corporate rock image that he
felt the band had presented, and has been a solo artist ever since.

Bad English drummer Deen Castronovo later went on to join a reformed
Journey with singer Steve Augeri, Neal Schon, Jonathan Cain, and Ross
Valory. He also played on Ozzy Osbourne's album Ozzmosis in 1995. Bad
English was the renunion concert in Vienna and Berlin in March 2008.
