The second single released Rodgers "Hammer of Love" reached #2 on the rock charts. For the first time in 20 years, all the original members of Bad Company toured the U.S. The overwhelming fan response, spurred on by a potent episode of VH 1 s "Behind The Music", a televised Pay-Per-View Special and a Global Cybercast, have the members open to possibly working together again. For his 1997 "NOW" C.D., Rodgers assembled a band consisting of guitarist Geoff Whitehorn (Paul McCartney, Roger Daltry), on bass Jaz Lochrie (Go West) and Jim Copley (Jeff Beck, Seal) on drums. Rodgers worked the band live for eighteen months before recording NOW. The line-up toured the U.S., Canada, Japan, Russia, South America, Europe including the unusual destinations of Romania, Bulgaria, Israel and Greece. Now thats a world tour! "Soul of Love" was the single released and it remained in rotation on more than 86 U.S. radio stations for six months. Internationally, the album charted in the top 30. Rodgers also took time to acknowledge the influence of Jimi Hendrix, by collaborating with Guns n Roses guitarist Slash, Hendrixs own Band Of Gypsies (Buddy Miles and Billy Cox). It led to "I Dont Live Today", one of the highlights of "Stone Free: A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix". Then Rodgers teamed up with Journey guitarist Neil Schon and issued "The Hendrix Set", a live C.D. with Pauls unique interpretations of Hendrix songs. The Low, Rodgers venture with former Small Faces and Who drummer Kenny Jones, produced the hit single "Laying Down The Law". Written by Rodgers, it ranked #1 on Billboards AOR charts.

He wrote the title track and was backed by guitarists Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, Bon Jovis Ritchie Sambora, Pink Floyds David Gilmour, Brian Setzer and Queens Brian May. "Muddy Water Blues" celebrated Pauls blues roots and respect for Muddy Waters, one of his primary influences. It was his joint billing with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page on the historic U.S. ARMS tour, including Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck, that led to forming the Firm with Page. Both Firm world tours were top grossing tours. "The Firm" and "Mean Business", the groups two albums, also enjoyed international success producing the hits "Radioactive", "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "All The Kings Horses." Most fans know that Paul wrote "Radioactive", not many know that he played the guitar solo.
