The Firm was a British rock supergroup formed in 1984, consisting of Paul Rodgers on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jimmy Page on lead guitar, Tony Franklin on fretless bass, and Chris Slade on drums. The band emerged during a period when both Page and Rodgers were dealing with the dissolution of their respective bands, Led Zeppelin and Bad Company. The Firm released their self-titled debut album The Firm in October 1985, followed by Mean Business in November 1986. Notable songs from these albums include "Radioactive" and "All the King's Horses". The band embarked on tours across Europe and the United States, playing a mix of their original material and solo works by Rodgers and Page. Despite initial success, the band disbanded after releasing two studio albums. Following the split, Page and Rodgers returned to solo work, while Chris Slade joined AC/DC in 1989 and Tony Franklin collaborated with John Sykes and Carmine Appice in Blue Murder. The Firm's legacy includes notable posthumous releases such as the EPs Phone Tap (1996) and Abgebrannt (2015).
