NEW QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS SINGLE SAY IT'S NOT TRUE

[siyuntz]

I was prepared to give this the BIG THUMBS DOWN, because no one can ever replace Freddie, ever. But even Freddie wouldn't want us to spend foerver mouning...And the kid is good.

[raffaznp]

this not QUEEN........a big diff,,,with QUEEN........even paul is a frontman of free and bad co..stil this is not QUEEN....QUEEN is freddie

[Mae77]

The only thing I don't like from Cosmos Rocks... Brian and Roger could sing more, like on this song and not just chorus. That's why the album seems more a Paul Rodgers solo album. But I like it !

[LOUIS2079]

FREDDIE THE VOICE!!!! STOP........ FREDDIE THE QUEEN

[zoso1975page]

Hey, Paul Rogers inst trying to BE Freddie Mercury. He's not trying to fill his shoes. Hence the "+" in "Queen + Paul Rogers".

If I could sing like him, and Roger and Brian asked me to join them, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I SAY NOOOOO!?

[shortandstylish]

I Love this song

[EXTERMINADORdeFUNK]

There are people in life that are irreplaceable and Freddie Mercury is one example of these people! Just as we are for our children. I agree he sang very well, but we will never see another like Freddie!

[gksinging]

Paul was Freddie's favorite and he is Great

[GeneVRocks]

Paul Rodgers got a blues in his voice,jeah great!!

[Caned7]

Get MIKA on Vocals for Queen I'd Like To see that

[cwhite90999]

that might be an interesting idea, but i dont know if his voice would have enough presence like Freddie's and Paul's did/do. dont shoot me for this, its just my opinion

[Caned7]

lol i thought i'd get shot for saying thaat... and i think that he'd have an awesome presence..... his voice sounds alot like freddies does esp. on grace kelly.... he can go high and low, and he is a decent performer.... again just my opinion

[lizzyvolpe]

Amazing song. Freddy would be proud that they go on. Paul Rodgers is wonderful and a good fit with Brian and Roger. John is missed, but everyone has to do there thing, and if he is done with Queen then the fans even the die hards have nothing they can do but go on and support the Queen that we have now and honor Freddy's memory. Queen forever!

[thelastnic]

i want deacon back on bass, can handle paul on vocals makes band different, but no deacon on bass, that is travesty. i saw band in 1982 and best show ever went to. saw Stones, Who, SRV, Ozzy with randy rhodes, plasmatics, Kiss(with makeup) van halen, ted nugent, judas priest, Police in 1982, scorpions with iron maiden opening, eric clapton, genesis 1982/1988, U2 (have the white flag :) ) Living Color, Styx, Rush, Joe Walsh, Cheap Trick, ZZ Top and more. Queen kicked all their butts live

[GOODY61]

@thelastnic It didn't matter if you wanted him on the tour or not. Deacon chose not to perform.

[RAC4117]

They could have faded into obscurity after Freddie's death, but they didn't...The Show Must Go On....

[lilikari1314]

This song really makes me think, and cry a little. I can see here the remain of Freddie's talent.Beautiful voices by Brian and Roger. Queen+Paul Rodgers!

[facellina]

This is a WONDERFUL song!

I wish them good luck!

[QueenCrazy46]

roger is sooo cute at 5:56 !! :D

[beome]

now this one brings shivers down my spine.now this reminds me a lot like old queen.yes he may not sound like Freddie.But if you listen closely they sound like they have always.

[Suspiria2008]

Fottetevi bastardi! Grande John Deacon che non ha voluto far parte di questa squallida pagliacciata... I still love you Freddie.....

[salvadordiego]

The best band ever... With Freddie and without Him... Queen is SO FUCKING great that even without Freddie they are the very best BY FAR!

[mark2oo9]

When I First Heard Of Paul rodger Singing With Queen I Thought Oh No :O

But Im Starting To Love It Now :O:D:D

[Rael21]

I don't expect Freddy, that is impossible. But I would have liked a singer compatible with Queen.

[paperguns22442]

paul rogers may not sound like freddie but he is still a great singer and at some tomes he does sound like freddie like in the new songcelebrity

[Nazteh]

fucking stupid shit. gtfo and go suck paul rodgers dick. he will never, not even closely, sound like Freddy Mercury.

[mapscannotcontainme]

Why don't people like you grow up?

Stop comparing frontmen and don't shit on Paul Rodgers. He is one of the greatest rock frontmen ever - along with Lennon, Jagger, Daltrey, Mercury, Gillan, Gramm, Bloom, and the other greats. Don't compare them in terms of who's better and who's worse. Your need to qualify things and then proclaim them with vulgarity makes you seem ridiculously insecure about your own opinions.

[RolandEP97]

@mapscannotcontainme

Why can't I give this more "thumbs-up" - U-Tube is full of unqualified dross - such as you refer to: childish comparisons.

[BonelessSausage]

@mapscannotcontainme Say it ain't true Paul Rodgers is singing for Queen. Lennon was McCartney's bitch.

[krazychuck216]

i guess you would have liked another fag like freddy ? atleast paul is a real man !

[AMiGR667]

Freddy was a bigger man than you will ever be in your life.

[josantjimgom]

As a matter of fact, the thing is that we all want to see Queen coming up after a few years and pretend that nothing had happened. People who go see'em live finish very dissapointed cos they expect to hear Freddie.

Too bad !! :(

[GOODY61]

All the Queen and Paul Rodgers performances I have seen and the concert I attended were awesome.

[paulvsmith]

@GOODY61

Dam right, how can go to those gigs (2x myself) and not be in sheer awe at these guys for their charisma and musicianship?

[slayerthebeast]

i agree qith crazysioux, people should stop complaining that its not queen or it doesnt sound like the old queen..well for one queen never really stuck with one sound and freddie would have wanted queen to go on without him and keep his vision alive! what do u think the show must go on means?!

[Dordtrockcity]

Show must go on wasn't written by Mercury... But you're right: Queen always re-invented themself. So do they now.

[xGuitarshredderx]

God I miss Freddie

[Angyal74]

cool song, very nice, and it was very nice to hear it live in Budapest

[crazysioux]

Fantastic song, brilliantly written, composed, and structured. As for those who keep saying Queen isn't the same without Freddie: NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Furthermore, what part of "The Show Must Go On" don't you understand or refuse to accept?!? Freddie was above such petty BS, which is why *HE* had something all of you "It's Not Queen" whiners don't, and that thing is called *CLASS*!!

[colinanshell]

what a band 5 *****

[funjong]

Beautiful song!!!

[hugoline187]

queen wollen kein "comeback" weil sie immer da waren , wenn musik dein leben ist , was würdest du tuen? Dich hinstellen mit stolzgeschwellter brust und mit einem sänger von dem freddie gewollt hätte das er es wäre , die lieder singen die so viele menschen glücklich gemacht haben , oder würdest du sagen das wars , unsere band ist mit ihm gestorben ? und neue lieder sind das beste was uns passieren konnte , ehrlich

[LeeJ2512]

id enjoy it more if the Queen crew werent in it. I only resent this guy cos he took Freddie's place. and also the rest of Queen were pretty eager to start up again! at least freddie did it because it was what he loved, those guys are there for a fucking comeback bonus!!

[xxannsofiexx]

beautiful !

[potimaja]

f beautiful song, one of the best "new" songs

[stay4cus]

Prefer just Roger Taylor singing it.

[Stereostuart]

Queen live on.

Amazing song.

[JCMOLFINO]

Say is not true. In the name of Freddie and memorie they should have change the bands name. Queen was Freddie, thats it.

[Wille2k]

word.

[captainmidnight1967]

this is beautiful.  I saw Paul in concert with Queen last year and they were excellent.

[DiabloDave363]

hes no freddie but hes the next best thing!

[Birdsnest96]

2:30 EPIC!! :-D love it!

[booopdooop]

There's something heavenly about Brian's voice.

[UberUngulate]

I like Roger Taylor's voice. But I don't like the first 20 seconds, when it's all happy, and that just stops.

Also. WHY AREN'T THEY COMING TO NEW ZEALAND!!!!!! Sure, it's a mediocre country, but WE NEED LOVE

[tsdr4]

So far, there's no plan for the US either. I guess we'll just keep our fingers crossed. Don't know why Europe gets all the concerts.

[Mupje86]

Be fair, it is the other way around often too!

I am sorry you cannot see it though.

I saw Queen and Paul in Rotterdam and it was FANtastic!

[LeeJ2512]

europe gets the concerts because one, queen is british and two, america get everything else

[scubamark111793]

i like paul rodgers cuz he doesnt try to imitate freddies amazing voice... but prob only cuz he could never succsessfully do it.. nobody will ever b able to...

[princesamarulina]

They're coming to Argentinaaaa!!!!!!!!!

I've always loved Roger's voice!! =)

[1977020377]

not freddie but then again he aint trying to be excellent vocals and the song writing has not been lost long live queen brilliant

[baybeeabifabi]

I like the song and I think Paul Rodgers is grate buhh no1 will ever beet Freddie.

P.S. BigPapaShitz, it's just an opinion!

[alfjumbo]

great song PAUL RODGERS BELTS OUT THOSE LYRICS WITH THE CLASS OF A TRUE ROCK LEGEND

[jordanarmitage25]

good butnot the same as sir freddie what a man what a man

[BioChinga]

I'm not being funny... BUT...

Amazing song =]

Its its such a cool arrangement of vocals.

First verse and chorus: Roger

Second verse: Brian

Second Chorus: Roger & Brian

Finale: Paul with that awsome voice of his, It just sounds so powerful don't it?

Oof, Going to see them in December, Can't wait! :D

[slash2605]

Great Song

[frozenseth]

es verdad q vuelve Queen???????? y sale de gira???

[maigret2]

Si cierto yo ya tengo la entrada, sábado 25 de octubre en Madrid y mas fechas, eh con nuevo album

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

i love this song soooo much, if freddie was sitting back in his chair watching this, he would be very proud

[BigPapaShitz]

You fucking moron, clearly you have zero musical knowledge, ability, or comprehension. Freddie is, without any argument from critics who don't even like Queen, considered one of the top ten vocalists across all modern/contemporary musical genres in music history (this includes Motown, Soul, Rock, Techno, Blues, COuntry, Punk, Folk, Euro, Pop, ad infinitum.

[TheSaintHooker]

Freddie was Queen no question, it's not the same without him, best showman ever. But Paul's voice is out of this world- better singer by miles just not the showman Freddie was

[BigPapaShitz]

I am not even a big Queen or Mercury fan, but I know from reading about msic for over 15 years that Mercury's voice is hailed as unparalleled in rock music. He could hit a double high C effortlessly, and then hit a half octave above that, as he apparently did on the album Innuendo and earlier in the album A Day At the Races.

You, TheSaintHooker, are a brainless twit, spouting baseless opinion when you should be shutting up and reading and listening more. Jackass.

[TheSaintHooker]

It's opinion, you don't have to swear at someone for thinking differently, I just happen to prefer Paul Rodgers' voice, am I not allowed an opinion?

[BigPapaShitz]

No, you aren't because it is completely illigitimate. Opinions should, at the very least, be based somewhat slightly in reality. Yours is completely illogical and idiotic.

[baybeeabifabi]

Plz don't sayy stuff like that.

I think Paul Rodgers is really gewwd

buuh I also know that no1 will everr beet Freddie. Buhh it is just an opinion.

[baybeeabifabi]

Dnt worry bout it I think Paul Rodgers is really good nd ur ryt anyway it just an opinion. Just dnt bother replying bk they will never understand what it mnz anyway. :)

[linngal]

Thanks Papa for saying it like it is!

[adzi667]

YOU THESAINTHOOKER ARE FUCKIN MENTAL! paul is gd but freddie was the best. end of.

[Queen495]

THESAINTHOOKER, U ARE A FACELESS MORON WHO PROBABLY COULDN'T EVEN TELL WHICH END OF AN ELEPHANT U R LOOKING @ WEN UR LOOKING @ ITS BUTT!

u r a moron for saying that about the legend known to us all as Freddie Mercury>

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

fucking awsome!

[ah3133]

shit sandwich

[RABBONI85]

ma quali queen cazzo....manca freddie e deacon....

dovevano chiamarsi

may

tailor

rodgers projects

pero' cosi avrebbero avuto meno visibilita' e meno budget a loro disposizione...

onore a deacon!!!

[dixie60]

i love this song. when i saw em live roger sang it all and it didnt build up like this version. its good how brian roger and paul sing verses. paul has such and amaing voice

[dandaman58uk]

QUEEN ARE BAK !!! lol wont be the same with out feddy. and they dnt want to be the same im sure thats why they have a totaly diferent style of singer. and as it looks hes the od one out lol

[Repbull]

fuck you fredie is the best

[churchtrip]

where the hell is john deacon?

[lolodude]

he retired from the band in 1997

[churchtrip]

i think mika has the voice for it, i realy do, now im not a fan for him but most of my mates think so too

[xHermione31x]

three words.

what

the

fuck

THIS ISNT QUEEEN.

you can NEVER replace Freddy... :((

[thegiftgold]

Shut up!

[xHermione31x]

er...NO. i have my right. and this sucks. Queen is dead. The original music IS the best.. and Kansas is a good band. but i think he should stick to Kansas. NO ONE WILL EVER REPLACE FREDDIE. this sucks.

[thegiftgold]

Kansas??

[thegiftgold]

And is Queen + Paul Rodgers. QUEEN WILL NEVER DIE!! ...

And.... Kansas???? ..Who should stick to Kansas??

[xHermione31x]

Queen was AMAZING. It died the day Freddie was replaced. THIS is NOT Queen. and my dad said that guy was the lead singer of Kansas, that may be wrong but i dont care. he doesnt belong in Queen

[thegiftgold]

He WAS NOT the lead singer of Kansas!!

Your father is an ignorant!!

He was the lead singer of FREE and BAD COMPANY!!

Of course he doesn't belong to Queen...that's why is called QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS!!!!

[kolabear]

If Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr Formed a band, would they be the Beatles?

[kolabear]

Without Freddie, You are not Queen Call Your band something else!

[thegiftgold]

Yes, they are QUEEN. Like it or not. They are the owners of the band and they can call it whatever they want. I'm sure that Freddie is really proud of this.

[jackielambell]

anyway, what ever happend to john deacon.

[thegiftgold]

Oh my God!!! Everybody asks the same stupid question!! Everybody!!!!!!!!!!

Are you Queen fans??????

[xarcherx987]

Deacon did not invent the guitar Brian May plays. He made it when he was 13 form lumps of wood form an old fireplace because he couldn't afford one.

[knuteboy36]

God bless Queen + Paul Rodgers.

[hugadzaga]

but, this music is too good

[hugadzaga]

wtf? this is not queen...

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

it's queen + paul rodgers

[hugadzaga]

haha, queen without freddie...

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

yes because freddie is dead

[queenpluspaulrodgers]

it is! Brian and Roger with Paul Rodgers, they have called the band queen + paul rodgers

[hugadzaga]

i know, but it is "funny"

[KittyAKitty]

don't understand why they keep calling themselves Queen, in fact,

Queen+Rodgers-Mercury-Deacon does not equal Queen. Anyway,that's my opinion.

[Rorosoraus]

Why Deacon?

[Demis121]

John Deacon was not just the fabulous bass player that joined the band in 1971, but, he was the business accumin behind the band, and, as a BSc in Electronics, -gained in 1970-, he was also the man who invented the guitar that Brian May gets such an amazing studio sound from, the small "Deacy" amp. John Deacon is as much Queen as Freddie, Brian, and Roger

[Rorosoraus]

Yeah, sorry I first read that comment by "KittyAKitty" , I though s/he meant that it was Brian, Roger, John and Paul - so I was asking why s/he included him. But now I've re-read it I know what they were meaning.

[OMGoodnessMe]

John Deacon did NOT invent Brian's guitar the "Red Special". Brian built this guitar with his father, Harold,, and it was built with wood from a 19th century fireplace.

But I do agree with you about John! He was the best bass guitarist, wonderful writer, and contributed much to Queen. I miss him too.

[OMGoodnessMe]

My apologies Dennis121, I misread your post. Indeed Queen bassist and electrical engineer John Deacon also built May a small DC-powered amplifier which he often used when recording. Known as the 'Deacy amp', it was reproduced as the "Brian May Special" by Vox in 2003.

[YOYUDO]

Nice song! Just imagine how better it would be with Freddie's voice instead of Paul's. He's a good singer but Freddie is the only one! It's an offence that they're still called Queen, once 2 members are out: John Deacon and Freddie Mercury. Just imagine how much Freddie would have done in this 16 years...What a pity! So much talent to show!

[linngal]

Very well stated. Thank you!

[lpayne69]

y? freddies a ledg singer

[iluvbrianmay123]

i love this song!

[iluvbrianmay123]

your soooooooooo mean! you shouldn't have commented on here in the first place! get outta here!

[rimmyrammyroo]

who u talking to?

[rimmyrammyroo]

you prick, he aint, he is encouraging the awareness to it, how can we fight this terrible disease without educating people??

and its not only homosexuals that this disease devastates, go away you ignorant dick head, how dare you?

listen to the song again, them maybe just maybe you will get the meaning of the song

[Williewortel23]

Queen is God !! Paul Rodgers is a great singer !!! never forget that !!!

[celantyer]

Just one thing to say...

"THE SHOW MUST GO ON..."

[mcjeff1234]

i think everyone has a right to an opinion and should not be told they are not proper fans because they dont like what queen survivors are doing

[mcjeff1234]

my opinion is that it all seems a very desperate way to make money,from selling songs to dance producers ,playing air guitar on adverts or doing musicals with a tit like ben elton.regardless of who founded the band freddie was queen and if they would of left it there they would be remembered as legends instead of sad people who perform on cliffe richard albums.

[mcjeff1234]

before i get a lot of replys with this hater shit,and im not a real fan you should no that i was a massive fan of queen and a collector of rare queen merchandise thats worth thousands and i would put my quenn knowledge up against anyone,but this aint queen

[obiwan6885]

Okay then mcjeff1234...Queen formed out of the ashes of what band? And who was it that asked to join Brian and Roger and wanted them to give being in a rock group one more shot??

[rimmyrammyroo]

take no notice of that jerk mcjeff1234, queen are still the best rock band around, and deffinetly the best live act roger and brian still have the passion for music, and they can beat any act out there into a copt hat anyday, this jerk is obviously not a queen fan

[mcjeff1234]

at no point have i personally insulted anyone on here,you dont know me to call me a jerk,i am entitled to my opinion and a tit like you is exactly the kind of prick that ruins youtube because you dont like it when people have an opinion that differs to yours.if you dont like my comments come up with an intelligent counter argument or dont reply at all

[mcjeff1234]

the original band was smile and they had a deal with mercury records pre queen ,a guy named tim staffel was the original singer and was replace by the legend freddie mercury who came up with the queen name,im not going to write an essay as i have nothing to prove to you,but id bet money that i own more queen rarities than you have clapped your eyes on.i even got some smile stuff and very rare larry lurex stuff.i do know who queen are ,trust me

[obiwan6885]

I don't want you to think I was insulting you either mcjeff1234. My perspective on the whole thing is. Being a die-hard and loyal Queen fan. The way Queen formed out of the ashes of Smile was that Freddie asked to join Brian and Roger and give it all another shot. Not to minimize Freddie...No one can.

[obiwan6885]

So in essence...the musical foundation of Queen came out of what Brian and Roger had established through playing together. Freddie's musical genius, vocal prowess, and showmanship was a huge part of what people knew Queen to be. But I feel Brian and Roger were that foundation. However I do respect your opinion.

[mcjeff1234]

its not that i dont respect brian and roger. when i was a kid i would have sold my left bollock just to be in the same room as them. and its not that i dont think they shouldnt do music anymore because britain needs all the talent we can get ,it is for me the queen thing i cant get around,in my opinion they should have shelved that name,how about this,why not call the band smile,it would of been retro and it would have been a great story to tell in interviews. thanks for posting.

[obiwan6885]

No problem...peace man.

[mcjeff1234]

you do know who larry lurex is dont you mr trivia?

[CrocodileRocker]

I used to hate the idea of them carrying on without Freddie and going by the name Queen, but for as long as Queen contains only the original members, I can't see a problem with it. I trust Brian and Roger will always do what they think is right. I don't particularly like Paul Rodgers, but for as long as they're producing beautiful songs like this, go Queen!

[nellyboosh]

To all real Queen fans and I mean fans of Roger, Brian, John and Spike Edney, they are QUEEN,Like it or not. They love what they do!So enjoy the ride people!! They're doing it for the love they have for Freddie and for you, the FANS!!!!

[charmedluver06]

It really gets on my nerves when people believe they are queen fans yet they argue over the petty things like a bands name. If you are truly a queen fan then you'd be pleased that there will be a new tour and the other two original members plus spike edney are still rocking. THE TRUE FANS OF QUEEN WILL ALWAYS BE BEHIND YOU!!!! LONG MAY YOU REIGN. all the haters go find a hole to crawl in

[quoling]

Brian and Roger FOUNDED Queen - so of course they are Queen...John is still involved in decisions related to the band Queen - so 75% of the band exist - they have more right to call themselves Queen than most bands that still use the original names...

"They are carrying on the legacy of Queen because thats what they chose to do and thats what REAL Queen fans want!!!"

100% correct

[tinus1872]

this song is for aids awearness.

as i recall freddie died of aids QUEEN want

to wake up the world with this songso that there becomes medicine for al humanbeingsall over the wolrld

[tinus1872]

Woehoe a new queen song i love it

[nellyboosh]

Some of you people are very rude! They are carrying on the legacy of Queen because thats what they chose to do and thats what REAL Queen fans want!!! Like it or not! I think Brian and Roger are doing exactly what Freddie would have wanted!!! I think people need to understand that! I love Queen, Roger and Brian and John and respect what they have done with their lives. Let's hear it from the true Queen fans out there!!! Can I get a shout out!!!!!

[charmedluver06]

I agree with you queen were and still are one of the greatest if not the greatest bands of all time. Any true fan will be at the gigs supporting the band two hundred percent. and on that note i'll see down at the front then lol!!!

[adictionrock]

queen sin mercury no es nada

this single is a sheeetttttt

[humankinetic]

I love this song. Welcome back. We missed you.

[matt3194]

I agree find an new name for the band this is not and I repeat QUEEN

[alepetivinblan]

You're right, it's not... The name is "Queen + Paul Rodgers"

Those fans ! More royalists than the Queen himself...

[Luis3263]

Yes, more royalists tha QUEEN. Common, it's not QUEEN, it's QUEEN + Paul Rodgers.

[mcjeff1234]

u r right sir

[candiab]

too much effect in the voices, I prefer the live version, and more simple

[lesassassins]

This is not a QUEEN song. Please, Brian and Roger, find another name to your new band.

[mkcwebmaster]

I think they are right to use the name, and I've been a fan of Queen since the 80's. Shame John Deacon won't involve himself anymore.

[lesassassins]

The only shame are Brian & Roger that couldn't never get a life after Freddie died.

[Luis3263]

If QUEEN never was officially ended as a band -like the Beatles-, so it means QUEEN as band still exists. With Freddie's death and John's retirement, Brian and Roger are the 50 % of QUEEN and they have the legitime right to use the name.

The QUEEN we all know died with Freddie's death, that QUEEN we will never see again. But now, just like the words written in "QUEEN ROCKS", about "No-One But You", this is now a completely different story.

[Spartan2246]

Mercury

(LOL)

[Spartan2246]

Its all right...

!LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF FREDDIE MERCUTY!

[grumpsty]

TOP WORK !!!

your vid is best

[taylormay420rodgers]

HAHA JRAD!!

[jeffaz1971]

QUEEN ROCKS #1 BEST EVER

[dadadruma]

we need new music from these legends its going to be great to see them again live in 08 long live queen

[SamiiJane]

That's well good!!!

=]

[Chriscatus]

Great to Finally hear somthing from the Studio from Q+PR and may I add not before time. They've done a great job with this song. Can't wait to hear what else they've been workin on, hopefully "Take Love" will be in there, KEEP ROCKIN GUYS, YOU STILL ROCK US ALL.
