  • Hey people who hate or have hated on Paul! (Because people don't hate on him as much as before) STOP bashing him. Because for one, it is called Queen PLUS Paul Rodgers so therefore he didn't replace Freddie. And besides Paul barely sings any of Freddie's songs, he is mostly singing Brian's or Rodger's songs. So leave him alone and let what's left of Queen keep rocking!!!

  • MISS YOU FREDDIE

    I WANT JOHN DEACON

    :(

  • no. freddie dopo aver ascoltato il minuto 1.36, non riposa più in pace.

  • hey redspecial18.....im a queen fan and there was only one front man for them and that was freddy mercury........the one and only always will be

  • R.I.P freddie mercury :´(

  • Pretty good... still wish they'd throw in more Freddie footage/vocals up behind them.

  • Pure genius! People need to stop comparing Paul and Freddie, their both completely different and if Brian May and Rodger Taylor think he's good enough, then thats enough said!

  • @sabretoothJones I agree. Your comment was spot on. Who else but the quintessential rocker of the 70's ( i knlow I'll catch hell that comment too) ; Paul Rogers could have pulled this off to a fiercely loyal Queen crowd, Robert Plant...Peter Frampton???

  • Funny how people preffer Freddie over Paul or vise versa???

    They are fooking awsome.

    BOTH OF THEM!!

  • Don't understand why anyone is comparing? Freddie was awesome and Paul is awesome.....just enjoy the talents and be happy that Queen continues to play for the enjoyment of all fans around the world. It's just great music!! Queen will always be Freddie's band. Paul is allowing everyone to hear this music live again. It's a treat!

  • Mars Attacks!

  • people picked paul over freddy. are you fuking serious the joke of the year.freddy is the best

  • what ever way you look at it, the boys were going off, so was the crowd. I think he did an ace job, I liked him in Bad Company & I like him now & yes there will be no one like Freddy.

  • Mi Viene La Pelle D'oca

  • George Michael is the guy to do this... Just see him in Freddie's tribute. Why not??

  • Paul Rogers does all these songs justice......

  • i was very surprised how many people picked Paul singing these songs over Freddie singing them , we put the two singers together and have the same song played each time but ,with Paul singing then Freddie singing , we did this for 6 months and a little over 4 thousand people listened to them ! in our two shops in New York and 97% picked Paul Rodgers over Freddie , the people was not told who was singing till the end , we told them they was cover singers for Queen . 

  • @MrOvation1

    What were they, deaf, dumb or both!? Oh they're Yanks!! Ha ha

  • It's so obvious why Paul Rogers was chosen to compliment the band! Listen to the raspiness of his voice when he really booms it out, very similer to Mercury's. I personally prefare Freddie's voice but Paul was a great singer to take over the lead vocals. Anyone else thinks they can do better, please stand up.

  • Well done! Good Work Paul.

  • Brian May still has the touch he always had:-)

  • I think Paul is a powerful singer and a pretty good replacement. The thing about Freddie is, being gay he was in touch with his feminine side and ironically it gave him a grace that Paul can't equal. He just comes across as being a bit naff.  But a damn good naff singer. I'd go and see them.

  • @Tuberstar08 he'd not a replacement!! hence the name queen + paul rodgers, not queen, but i do like him

  • John Deacon, where ever you are. You need to come back, you must do something. The world needs you, we need you, I need you. 40th Year of the Greatest rock band ever, and you were lucky to be part of it. We need you to come out and do some stuff. Maybe not perform, but do something to celebrate it with Roger and Brian. Freddie would want you to.

  • I love Rogers smile.

  • I will say this,Paul was a good singer with bad company,and did a great job with Queen. Wonder what it would have sounded like without him. DUH!!!

  • give Queen the nod and respect for NOT just hiring a Freddie sound-alike. Just like when AC/DC went with a different-sounding singer that took the band in new directions, Paul Rogers was already a star & amazing rocker in his own right. His unique singing and songwriting style shot some new life into the band and made this more than just a "re-hash the old hits" project

  • I love BOTH Versions of this great Song! Freddies AND Pauls! ;-))

  • Face it, Paul sings this better than Freddie.

  • @RisteMakedonski Paul is the man but nobody sings a Queen song better than Freddie. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

  • @RisteMakedonski impossible, but still paul sing well...

  • there is only one frount man for queen and thats freddy this guy may be good i will give you that but leave his old music alone do ur own man u screwed the song

  • @ppdblblegmg would you rather queen of just never toured again? if so then you dont deserve to call yourself a queen fan. paul rodgers rocks.

  • Look, lets just put and end to this arguement with this: Freddie was(and is) #1. Paul was #1.5.

  • dieses Lied ist geil

  • Seeing how much fun they are having at the end, makes u smile without noticing yourself. :) Paul is a great singer and Queen will always be legends. :)

  • When Freddie was alive and John Deacon was still with Queen their was 5 Singers

    Now Freddie is Sadly gone and so John Deacon not with Queen anymore their are 3 Singers. Yes you say Freddie, Rodger, John & Brian are Queen but the 5th Member is Brian Mays Guitar :) Man when he plays that thing Sings just Spectacular

  • My God ...Freddies last words are it's 20 years ago

    I'm sure. Freddie were proud,... but it makes me sad. I wish him back when I see and hear this great songs.

    all the best to Queen and Paul Rodgers. God bless you

    ...

  • Paul Rogers does a great job. I, however view it as this; Paul Rogers shows Queens' age. Freddie Mercury showed the bands energy! If I'm wrong, please tell me.

  • @76cornfed I see your point, but you can never replicate that sound you just heard. Paul Rodgers is very humble about his position in the band - he doesn't try to replicate anything and is a good fir with the band. They will never be the same without Freddie, but they can still rock!

  • wowa! I think paul is a great singer.

  • great job by paul rodgers!!

  • I think Paul Rodgers is good singer and I don't hate him, And does a good job with the songs and I have no problem with him singing with queen.. But I don't think his there to replace Freddie no one will but I think people should realise that before being critical

  • no one is trying to replace FM... and no one will EVER replace PR amaziong Freddie would be honored I'm sure..

  • Rodgers really does justice with this song. even if I'm a Freddie' fan.

  • How could anyone hate on P.R. ? They obviously have the intelligence of a soap dish and no admiration for true classic rock. It would be mendacious to say that the remaining members of Queen were not right in inviting P.R. to tour with them. P.R. didn't contact Queen. He was invited - who knows better, the naysayers or the members of Queen? Duh!

  • Queen original songs are that good, even sung by "Chuck Norris"

  • I just think they should rename the band.. Queen without Freddie is not Queen anymore, and there will always be a comparison.. and what is that beard+mustache? This guy looks like Johnny Hallyday!

  • I think the people who know a thing or two or music would think twice about even trying to compare Freddie Mercury and Paul Rodgers. Learn your facts guys.

  • Rather give us Queen + Pat Boone.

  • And THANKGOD he's not trying to be Freddie.

  • Paul Rodgers ROCKS. I'm impressed. Congrats to him.

  • I don't think Paul fits the band... he sounds more like country music singer (althoug he's not)... I think Jeff Scott Soto would be better...but not sure... I'm not a music expert... =S

  • Paul Rodgers has a powerful voice, and has to have a lot of balls, can you imaging getting on a stage and singing Freddie's part?

    He does a good job, yeah he's not Freddie, but no one is. Anybody going into that position is going to have critics, just enjoy the music, and if you don't like this, listen to Freddie, real simple.

  • Paul Rodgers is fucking ACE!!

  • I WANT JOHN DEACON !!!!!

  • @ANTONIOPICCOLO **we

  • I cannot understand why some people hate paul rodgers' interpretation of this song - for God sake - HE IS NOT FREDDIE AND WILL NEVER BE - he sings well, accurate and in his own style! I personally am extremely glad he is not trying to impersonate Freddie because he would have never succeeded in it and it would sound stupid. The magic of Freddie's interpretation was in the colour of his voice and you cannot expect anyone else to be the same.

  • We can never bring Freddie back to life literally.. His voice is definately iconic and simply one of a kind. Just like Ozzy, Steve Perry, Dio. Michael Jackson, Sammy Davis Jr.. And the list can go on and on. How many here would have loved to seen Bad Company and Queen together in their peak? Alot of us would.. Well due to unfortunate circumstances now you can. Rock on! Making music and getting paid to do what you love. PRICELESS!!!!!

  • Freddy its of king

  • I think they should go out of their box and choose a girl for their Queen +. This guy is a good singer but he is WAY to country. I am a horible singer, but I would be able to sing this genera better that him.

  • @TheJaylyne

    stop throwing shit at him, he is good , yea , please upload a video of urself singing this i woulod like 2 see uhow mch better u r ..

  • All yield to the brilliance and skill of that solo - Dr May we salute you.

  • FUCKING ARSEHOLE SOUNDS LIKE A PUB SINGER!!! DISGRACE!!! HE GOT BOOeD off the stage at the DONNINGTON ROCK FESTIVAL in '88 for being so SHIT!!! i'll never accept him!!!!

  • @sabbath1888

    fucking fool, indirectly u insult queen ,  u mean queen are areholes for choosing him??? er to sing??

  • I really love the first part of the guitar solo on this vid.. :D waiting for this dvd, i purchased it online :D must be delivered in 3-4 days , i can't wait!!! QUEEN4EVER!!

  • They shouldn't go on with this without Freddie ...it is everything else but not Queen even two of four are here ...it is a shame ...just take a look at performances of these songs with Freddie and without him ...you will understand me

  • This is not so good as Queen was, but it still one of the best live bands ever seen.

  • Paul Rodgers is f'in awesome!

  • The lighting on this is really cool! :)

  • You haters need to move on. Paul is not trying to replace Freddy. He's putting his spin on some really good music. He has a great voice and fits in well with the others. Take your blinders off, give the music a chance, and you may be pleasantly surprised. The remaining members embraced his talent. Who are you to put it down? Get over yourselves!

  • its a temporary arrangement in which paul brought something to the music of queen then went on his way. Think The Firm

  • как грусно на них на старых смотреть, удручающее зрелище. нифига уже они не способны зажечь :(

  • Queen + Chuck Norris???

  • Since when did Paul get so damn sexy?? !!! You keep Rockin On Paul!!!! You are doing a damn fine job making Queen new! You make the rocking world proud!!

  • Me gusta Queen + Paul Rodgers.....suena muy bien y esa voz es privilegiada!

    Felicitaciones

  • Well said to 3 guys below me. I agree with you guys.

  • Well said to both of you guys below me.

  • Look look look, it's better to have Queen with Paul Rogers than to have Queen witthout Paul Rodgers, or indeed, no Queen at all.

  • Everybody complains about Rodgers, but you wont be satisfied with anybody, cause NOBODY can replace freddie. But we should be glad that we have Paul Rodgers, because his skill is very close to freddies in my opinion!

  • I don't get it. If you're a Queen fan why wouldn't you want to see Brian and Roger play. Especially with Paul Rodgers, he's incredible! He's Paul Rodgers get a grip!

  • @lucrativeelfmongrel

    Spot on!

  • i have to say that paul rodgers should nvr sing anything that freddie has done before. he just doesn't have that idk umph that freddie had!

  • Paul Rogers is doing a really fantastic job of singing with queen.

    Freddy Mercury obviously was one of the best ever,but even he had his off nights.

    Under the circumstances Paul was a really good choice to let the band come back and tour. Gotta respect him for the time and effort it must have taken to learn all the difficult queen stuff and then go perform it. :)

  • Paul Rodgers is the voice of rock!

  • They should have called Jorn Lande or Tony Kakko. It would have sounded much better.

  • Yeah but the problem is with that is that it'd be Queen + Tony Kakko, and no-ones going to pay to see that.

  • @TwistedMindCroatia Bob Catley from Magnum would've been another excellent choice.

  • @Highlander01

    You're a genius! :)

  • super solo

  • Paul Rodgers reminds me of Captain Haddock from Tintin.

  • hahahaha!

  • Paul is really the only one who could make this possible (Queen touring...and pleasing millions of people)...Freddie is the best singer ever, but Paul never tries to imitate. He does his own thing. His nickname is "the voice" for a reason...I mean seriously, who else could hit notes like that...

  • roger and brian, can sing, but is dificult

  • Brian number One!!

  • I'm a huge Queen fan, no one can replace Freddie, its obvious. But I'm not going to jump on the Rodgers hate-bandwagon. Give the fella credit, he's not trying to be like Freddie, he does a great job in his own way.

  • @Highlander01 I am staying on the Paul hate-wagon. Period.

  • Ok fella but Rogers doesn't  sing well.

    Queen plus George Michael it's a good possible for a perfect group but paul?????

  • @kbsiya Pauls in no way perfect, I'm just saying he does a good job at replacing the irreplaceable.

  • @kbsiya

    You choose a crappy pop singer, if you can get a rock god?

    Freddie's music deserves the best, and PR is almost the best, the only other option was Roger Daltrey, but he is keeping other great music alive.

    You want a pop singer an junk in Queen?

  • Paul Rodgers rocks hard

  • @Highlander01 I agree with you. Got to say that his voice is quite good!

  • it is very sad to see Paul and Queen,not together any more,very sad !!!! best band very put together .. i have been to many Queen shows and when Paul joined them they have become a very special band , Freddy yes was a good singer but will never be a Paul Rodgers,sure there are the gay followers Queen has !! i Seen this band in Ukraine And two other places and with Paul and his song with Queens Songs,God Dam !!! there is no band that even comes close to put the show on like them !

  • For me this is not just music !! it is the music Gods !! tell us to enjoy life !!! as it only comes around once !.. and thank to Paul and Queen , the 4 shows that i was bless to see ....was my dream come true yes i loved Queen , but this band ! wow !! In the world i work in , there is nothing that can come close to these guys !! , thank for making the world we live in a better place !!even if it was just for the times we are bless to watch you

  • Comment removed

  • Paul Rodgers it´s a great singer but the strenght that Freddie put in this song it´s unique, in paul´s voice sound like decaf nothin like Freddie´s voice he was, is and still the KING OF QUEEN. FREDDIE WE STILL LOVE YOU

  • Freddie just had this immense stage presence, matched almost only by MJ

  • Wrong matched almost only for George Michaels , not MJ :) listen to them both and you will see ..

  • GOD WILL PEOPLE JUST GET ON WITH BEEN QUEEN FANS! stop all this paul rodgers this paul rodgers that. hes great singer Queen and freddie are my fave! but lets all stop been dickheads about this situation that we cant do anything about.

  • @RedSpecial18 Thank you, my thoughts exactly

  • @RedSpecial18 he sucks man, you're just musically retarded that's all

  • @satanaonline how can you say paul rodgers sucks? lol hes a great singer. but by what you have on your youtube page id say ur just a little fag who spends all his time saying shit to people on youtube HAHA sad cunt!

  • I always thought Chuck Norris would make the best singer for Queen after Freddie died.

  • Chuck Norris+Queen=World Domination

  • Queen = Chuck Norris + World fans :))))

    With Freddie or with Paul :P

  • the point is both freddie AND paul are great singers in their own right. either one is/was the best in his musical outfit. paul can't replace freddie (that was never the plan) but freddie could also not replace paul in free or bad company. freddie had more brilliance and glamour in his voice and paul is more the down to earth rock singer with lots of soul and blues in his voice. fuck, these guys just wanted to have some fun together! accept it!

  • Why do people have to be so negative about Paul. As a massive Queen fan, I think paul does a brilliant job. "Oh, he's shit, he's not Freddie." HE ISN'T TRYING TO BE FREDDIE FFS!!!!! Why can't people accept Paul is a great singer and Queen and PR WERE making good music. Take the case of AC/DC. Bon Scott died. People were like "its over now Bon has died". Then they saw Brian Johnson and accepted him with open arms!!! Its just all Bullshit. Paul is a great singer!!!

  • Maybe he should try to act himself like Freddie :)

    and maybe he'll be better...

    cant u see?

    i understand that u cant compare freddie and paul

    but U CAN COMPARE THIS SONG sang by freddie, and sang by paul .... if u dont see the difference , and if u dont feel that no emotions are given 2 u - I'm really sorry that u call urself Queen fan. :)

  • I liked it when they performed this song at wembley stadium!!! this version sucks!!!!!

  • nonononononono!!! Not pauuuul!!! I hate him but but.

  • Desde luego que Paul Rodgers no tiene la gracia que tenia Freddie Mercuery en el escenario! ya Queen no se puede comparar con lo que fue Queen!

  • Queen without Freddy Mercury is not Queen, the song is very good, but the singer... not, Bryan May and Roger Taylor are a good musics, and i look Queen and i imagine Bryan with Roger, John D. and FREDDY MERCURY, no bryan, roger and paul, sorry, but I do not feel the same after seeing this new "Queen + PR" when I saw "Queen", they say really is not the same without Freddy ...

    Freddy I miss you much, we need you here ...

  • Thats true but is a tribute it's not "the return of Queen"i think is really nice what they are doing

  • You Have Right This is not Queen in my opinion i Don't Feel it This is not the same like with Freddy... If You Want Take Me to Friends Cheers :]

  • Queen Forever !!!!!!!!

  • Maybe Queen is not fantastic without Freddie, but the songs are fantastic, even if paul rodgers sings them.

  • No Freddie no Queen R I P. John White.

  • I hear Paul R. left Queen to get back to his band, going on tour next month,,,no longer with Queen. So now what will happen to Brian and Roger?

  • According to Roger, via the fan club, they have vague plans for 'something' next year! Fingers crossed!!!!!

  • It is true. They aren't planning to tour... rumor perhaps with the runner up of American Idol that they actually addressed in Rolling Stone... but nothing at this point.

  • I was in Berlin, saw Queen + Paul Rodgers The Cosmos Rock's Live. Great live!!! They got Berlin Rockin' !!!! Long live QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS!!!

    From Georgia

    :)

  • paul rodgers...no comparation with freddy god...the people dont feel the same please look one video of wembley for example and look this...big difference

  • Paul Rodgers, he's a lookalike of Walker Texas (st)ranger, he sings / has a voice like a old men who smooked a lot of cigars... but queen is still good... Brian is the best! Great man! (his hairdresser died since some years)

    From Belgium

  • Yeah! Keep Queen music alive!!!!! They are doing a grate job!

  • I'd rather Freddie singin', but PR is OK either.

  • dobry cover ale fredie najlepszy

  • i respect opinion but i really don't understand why people that don't like q+p r keep on enter inside this pages to say how orrible they are..if u don't like just don't watch it no?

  • freddie was an amazing man did more for music than any person i know, but he wasn't the only member of queen. they have a right to continue and use queen a their identity as well. freddie would have wished for queen to continue as he lived for music and as this was his life. no one will every replace freddie but to tribute the band to his memory is a right and just thing to do. he created music till his last days and wanted it to be left for his fans to hear for many years to come.

  • right. paul is not "too" bad.

    and brian, roger sir play good concert still go on thankfully.

    but i have to say

    that's not perfect "Queen" concert absolutely.

    right?

  • jz012 shut up they were trying i know they sound nothing compared to freddie. freddie is the BEST and a total legend. you know freddie will never die in our hearts but they were doing it for there dear friend so maybe respect them for trying.

  • I like Paul Rodgers. He does it his way.

  • this is the best song ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • che schifo

  • Paul looks like a monument.. MOOVE MEN! Freddie i miss you :'(

  • Freddie, without you, there is not any magic......

  • You're so right!!!

  • With all this talk about PR and Freddie, nobody seems to give a damn about John Deacon, I really miss him as well.

  • Yes, after all. He created great songs like Another one bites the dust or I want to Break Free.

    Also he was a great Bassist in Queen D:

  • yeah he wrote bass lines like a kind of magic. genius.

  • Paul does a great job and it's a good tribute to Freddy.

    RIP Freddy Mercury.

  • he really sings this well:O

  • No one can come close to the peformer freddy was but Paul deffently does him justice. Hes the best person to be a replacement.

  • that's your opinion not a fact! and who the fuck cares about gnr this is Queen & Paul Rodgers who BTW rock!

  • YOU SIR ARE INSANE!!!! Paul is good. Queen is good. Freddie WAS good. But now he is gone. If you don't like Paul too bad! No disrespect to the all holy Freddie inteded. Just making a point.

  • when will stop this fucking shit of comparison between freddie and paul?

    fuck off comparisons

    let´s enjoy paul(or not)and end.

  • This is actually a lot better than I would have thought, but I have always liked Paul Rogers as a singer. I have always loved Queen.

  • pfff.. its just so different..

  • shit! listen to this song is disgusting. Freddie, why you go?
