Rock Therapy (Paul Rodgers and Brian May) - Reaching Out

[saechaoy]

I felt the guys pain in this song I like both, eminem wouldn't be able to make a great track without this guy

[rrexviktor]

man, at 0:43 i kinda expected to hear "I'm just so fucking depressed"

[oneonta310]

@xx2n23 what the hell is wrong with you???

[energycrazygirl14]

@xx2n23 stfu fer real. I think your shit & brainless. Eminem is a BRILLIANT! (:

[VictorAUlloa]

what part did he sample because the original he sounds less of a deep voice they def did some pitch changing huh

[Traatkrawk]

@VictorAUlloa Eminem sampled a live-performance from Queen + Paul Rodgers - Return of the Champions. You can still hear the audience on 'Beautiful'

[VictorAUlloa]

@Traatkrawk That makes sense. Thank you

[gturner1029]

Eminem took this song and made it emotional as

[deadXheartXbreaker]

I love how everyone is saying 'Em did it better', when in his song, he was sampling Paul Rodger's piece he did on stage with Queen. Good job, guys.

[nymets395]

Eminem brought me here.....I like Eminems song better than this one....but this is still good

[BangSkeeet]

Em did this way better in my opinion...

[Q282]

The first time I heard Eminem's song Beautiful, I knew I had heard that beginning bit before, so I had to google it! And sure enough it brought me here! I would never have known who the original artists were otherwise. Also, Eminem has sampled many other brilliant songs in his past work, again, bringing my attention to some truely awesome originals. One of my favourite songs is now Aerosmiths "Dream On" - sampled in Sing for The Moment. :-)

[Q282]

Without newer artists using samples or covering songs by legends, the youth of today may never discover the originals - so hats off to them all for promoting it! And the original versions will ALWAYS remain and live on - so they are not ruining anything!

[Radjuk]

Nice but Eminem version is much better.

[semanray]

At least with this Eminem sample more people will hear what a fantastic singer Paul Rodgers is

[ossa333]

R U f***in kiddin me ? Eminem song sounds like like shit

[jessieiscool11]

Because sampled it. duh thats what artists do no hatin@ossa333

[ossa333]

@jessieiscool11

Artists not sampled anything. Real artist make their own music Sampling is some kinda stealness.

[jessieiscool11]

ok? but they pay to use music it gives credit to the original artist, and it makes the song better with good music and it makes the original artist more popular bc its been used by a big artist like eminem@ossa333

[ossa333]

@jessieiscool11

U just said BIG ARTIST to EMINEM ? when we're talkin ab. Brian May & Paul Rogers song ?

[weber1215]

@ossa333 yes we are, but nevertheless, then Eminem is a big artist. He's the only true rapper. He raps about life. Just as Paul rogers sing about life. Eminem is one of the best lyricists in the world. No doubt about that! And believe me, i don't even like rap..

[YourGoodButNotGreat1]

@AkatsukiLegend  it was nice of eminem to let them use it tho

[mrakhil48]

em did it better

[stretch0992]

its a couple songs dat a lot of rappers r remaking and da original songs werent bad...but thank god my guy em redid dis song cuz dis song aint even all dat good, but beautiful is a masterpiece...same thing bout wat is love...it aint bad...but i love dat no love...em can make any song 10x as better as they originally were

[JoAnnaAlcorn]

damn man didnt know this song existed till em sampled it and i was expectin the same badass feelin didnt think this would be a soft song lol

[RUSSTRADAMUS]

weres the exact version or sample EMINEM used does anyone know ??? this is the song but not the version & I cant find it anywhere

[JezRG]

@RUSSTRADAMUS The version used in Beautiful is a live sample, from the opening of the Queen + Paul Rogers tour, edited a bit to make it sound like a studio recording, but if you listen in 'Beautiful' you can still hear some cheering from the live version.

[RUSSTRADAMUS]

@JezRG

yeah it says EMINEN sampled it form one of thier 2005 live show openers but whatever show it was PAUL RODGERS sung it alot cooler & the guitar & the riffs sound better for some reason then the studio recording as the group ROCK HERAPY. I just wish I could get the 2:45 version that EMINEM used

[OreoSpicey]

Stop complaining, it's still a nice song.

[DonforDead]

This was my mates brothers wedding song....

[tengordon1942]

awesome ,, very well done

[god901]

i rlly like this song

[Pussycatfeathers]

as far as i know this song was written and performed by paul rodgers and eminem chose to add some of paul singing it in one of his songs, with pauls permission i presume!....but i could be wrong, anyone really know how this originated?

[OreoSpicey]

@Pussycatfeathers Paul Rodgers, before playing with queen, played with Brian May in a special date called "rock therapy", there, they played this song, by paul, then in 2005 2006, they opened the shows with an intro of that song, after a record tape of eminem/

[Khamillion0]

Check new tracks "Legendary Killer" and "Drag Me to HELL"

┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

[Wenindoubtukisscraig]

Eminem is one of the few mainstream rappers I really respect. He brilliantly used this sample on his new song, unlike many other artists who just butcher the original song. Much love to Queen and Eminem!

[joeolcay]

like it when they pitch this up a lil bit....the eminem version is sick!!

[TheWillBlade]

Fucking idiots. I love Eminem but are you all retarded, this song was released whilst he was a kid. How did he write it? Eminem blatantly used this as a sample.

[Kilion4d]

@TheWillBlade Wat is ur point?

[turbonetttt]

@TheWillBlade he did and he did it well

[willowA1]

@TheWillBlade whilst?

[TheZizigay]

i feel like want to cry....:(

[CosmoJoe360]

This is Paul Rodger's song!!! Eminem used a sample from it. Plus it was written in 1996.

[joe111man]

he wrote eminem said some of the lyrics

[Fahrice]

eminem is K.I.N.G

[Kilion4d]

@Fahrice if paul rodger's song was used by the K.I.N.G, wat does that make him?

[LP640ROADSTERdk]

this is way better than the Eminem sample, I'm an Em fan, that's the reason I found this, but the Beautiful intro sounds bad, this is way better

[teamsleepnine]

why the fuck every one talk about eminem.....when this is obviously not faggot eminem video

[npeeples6]

you are a faggot

[Fahrice]

eminem wrote it you fool

[Anakin8th]

because he wrote this song you stupid man!

[DerLuis1]

EMINEM-beautiful

[princeterror]

Eminem is such a talented artist

[Fahrice]

princeterror

yes ofc. he wrote this song with soul

[princeterror]

I feel you bud

[jackathotmail]

EMINEM - BEAuTIFUL

.

[caseynalagonbanks]

"one way conversations going on inside my head..."

[finfl]

I love this song...so beautiful. :)

[APH92]

eminem didnt write this he sampled it from a live performance they did in japan, eminem uses a lot of samples in his songs eg. toy soldiers, crazy in love etc.

[Fahrice]

@APH92 i think eminem wrote it

[APH92]

lmao u obviously dont think that, u think im one of those sad retards hu get proper angry about things lmao NOPE!!!

[YourGoodButNotGreat1]

@APH92 eat a dick

[Fahrice]

hahaha XD ok u got me

[Anakin8th]

I think he wrote all those songs

[restylerdj]

Eminem used the intro in his track ' Beautifull ' and so he did not write it himself OK?

No thanks for the info ;)

[YourGoodButNotGreat1]

@restylerdj im pretty sure eminem wrote it. its in his song

[TQuong]

if you read the side bar you would know that they made this in 1996 which i believe is quite a bit before eminem made beautiful he just put part of it in beautiful

[YourGoodButNotGreat1]

@TQuong no your just ignorant. accept eminem wrote this and is one of the greatest artist of the decade. word

[TQuong]

you realize that was possibly one of the most ignorant things a person could say and if you put a single brain cell into your thoughts and used 2 minutes of your life and did 2 google searches and find out which time each song was made you could find out which was made first how the fuck did eminem write this song when the song he has it sampled in has like 3 lines in it are you saying that

[TQuong]

paul rodgers and brian may stole those lines from his song went back intime about 20 years and based a song on those 3 lines which eminem apparently wrote first? also eminem is great but idk about greatest i cant say ive heard every artist in the last ten years and judging who is the best artist without having all the information and/or being biased is just straight up ignorant so just shut the fuck you imbecile thank you

[Zmcluvin]

@TQuong he samples it that it... Thats what he even said.... I respect both artists greatly people are just retarded

[mountaingirlcanada]

@TQuong LMAO!! Well said!!! Much love to Paul Rodgers, «the voice» of rock n roll!!

[TQuong]

and to end this with a eminem/d12 quote "bitch are you retarded?"

[AkatsukiLegend]

@YourGoodButNotGreat1,your the fucking ignorant idiot..in case you didint know this song was made in 1996 (which was the year Eminem first came out and started rapping),so how could eminem have possibly made this song if Eminem released beautiful in 2009?,ur a fucking idiot

[YourGoodButNotGreat1]

didnt eminem write this???

[ThugEmpire101]

since it was made before eminem was even famous... no

[siwooot]

lol yes people we know eminem sampled this song, everyone knows okay?

[KossCD]

Jeez, there are some assholes around!! Eminem SAMPLED this song and the singer, Paul Rodgers, happens to be one of the best rock voices of all time, as rated by other top musicians in the music business.

[antoniorocks969]

i like eminem verzion but this is a good one too it fits good with eminems song

[LEEARRYTP]

here this song is live in eminems version ats the only diffrent n a only herd it in slims version to. never seen so many music critics loll

[bcooper56]

Not bad good song i heard from EMinem

[dork4life785]

this is a good song but i don't like the mans voice that much... if he is the one singing it in EM's new song then its heavily edited and I prefer it. but still a good song nonetheless

[shelbowshelby]

did emiem actualy sing this on his song beautiful or is someone else singing it??

[amanduhxisxmyxname]

I think he just edited it because it sounds a lot like this guy (:

[890JonnyMac890]

@shelbowshelby  - its actually paul rodgers

[Tylerj6616]

no i think its natte dog

[Mokumokuren13]

Beautiful. I like Em's version, too.

[Sonnyxleet]

.... this > em's - it's not like he covered a song, he sampled it. big difference. he made this song better by sampling it? how does that make any sense? -1

[pittflyin]

@Sonnyxleet it's all personal preference m8. i find this song boring for the most part (save the guitar solos), but i really like beautiful and how this snipet sounds in beautiful. i think em did this song a great justice.

[Sonnyxleet]

@pittflyin He didn't mes sit up, I just feel that this is better than Em's version, although Em doesn't technically have a "version" of this song, he only used a snippet. But, I respect your opinion. Both songs are great, imo.

[varillon7]

@Sonnyxleet In case you didn't get it, Em didn't try to make Paul's song better by sampling. Paul's intro for Em's song worked to produce a nice pairing of two great artists.

[Sonnyxleet]

@varillon7 In case you didn't understand my comment, I didn't say he tried to make his song better, my comment was a response to some moron that made that statement.

[seanj666]

Most of the time when rappers sample a song I like the oringinal song better. But to the dismay of some I feel EM made this song better. Yes I understand he just sampled a snipet but it worked extremely well and added a powerful element to the song. Just my 2 cents

[deathdevil1130]

one word "agreed"

[SunshineBoy83]

@seanj666

Don't sweat the nay sayers I completely get what you mean and agree.

[JackOfTonbridge]

@seanj666 You are actually right, and I totally agree with you that it sounds better in Beautiful. I'm not a massive Eminem fan, I basically like most of his biggest hits, but all credit to his use of sampling. Sonnyxleet I think sean meant that he didn't make THIS song better, he made Beautiful better by sampling THIS song. The version that's used in Beautiful sounds better than this one though, does anyone know which version it is, like a Live At [Enter Venue] version or something?

[JordanJ39]

@JackOfTonbridge queen +Paul rodgers, return of the champions, only does the intro used in beautiful

[b0w13nspac3]

@seanj666 eminem doesnt remake it he just samples it so you cant say he made it better when its a completly different song

[Newbpwng]

@seanj666 ya i like the eminems sample so much better its not so sissy its more vibrant and it sounds like it was sang by somoene strong not sensitive

[TurKiisHKanKiiz]

heyy ii think eminem´s sonq is great but this is good too.

[CantBelikeit]

No his song Beautiful is like umm his song Stan

[Toby2194]

the one he used is i think the live one lol thats why =)

[THEoriginalRIcHARDS]

the way eminem sampled this, i thought queen sang this.

[c4lmn]

your right theres no way you can say eminem is better (it was REALLY fucking good) but there woulden't be Beautifull without reaching out

[KaneMoD23]

Pauls Rogers & the queens reaching was realeased in 1984 and its latin pop, completely different style to eminem (who is top of his own style). The comments to "eminem make it better", are just nonsense, eminem used the song very well. "Beautiful" would not of existed without "Reaching out"

[GOODY61]

"Reaching Out" was recorded about 1995 for charity. As the cover shows above it was released under the name "Rock Therapy" not Paul Rodgers or Queen. The recording your hearing now is the original. I'm not sure why you a referencing a latin pop song from 1984. Maybe I'm missing something, please explain.

[123Chimmy321]

I agree ckMiro

[asmarakhan]

eminems is way better and here i thought this would sound good

[ckMiro]

I think MR or MRS or whatever Haseeebo, hit the fucking point really hardly, and some people don't really seem to get it

[shamsan219]

eminems 1 is waaaaaaaay better

[stardust19000]

how can it be way better when he used the part from the live sessions?!

[kn71yndk]

No lieying :D

[robotrock42]

understand what a sample is before commenting

[Haseeebo]

People need to stop sayin "Eminem made it better"....the snippet in "Beautiful" is from Paul+queens concert in Japan 2005. You always have to give credit to the original, which is why most of us are here...but I think what most people who say "Eminem made it better" are tryin to say is that, he made it known to the younger generation, like myself. I didnt know of this song or Paul Rodgers, before I heard "Beautiful".

Anyway, if you wanna hear the "Eminem" version, check the Japan 2005 live vid.

[nonameddog]

can you send the link?

[Lawen78]

What do you mean made it better? He doesn't even sing the lyrics from this song, It's still Paul Rodgers in Eminems version.

[agileapplet]

I think s/he meant that the dude singing it in Eminem's video made it sound better than Paul Rodgers...

[Lawen78]

It's Paul Rodgers voice in Eminem's video

[Purplepwners]

i kno eminem made it better

[SincerelyYours16]

it took a whole song for whatever his name is to make it good

eminem made it good in about 10 seconds .

[ih8life333]

eminem made it soooo much better

[B4NAN4S199]

This song is amazing it makes me feel very good in my heart like if i was going to Cry

[preshy50]

Then how can anyone say Eminem made it better if it's only a few seconds?? Paul's voice is the best thing about the song

[Haseeebo]

LOL pauls voice in Beautiful is not the best thing about that song. I understand people who are sayin "Eminem made it better" arent right, because it was Paul who sang it. But to say that Paul is the reason "Beautiful" was good, is complete blasphemy! And as for the people sayin "Eminem made it better" i think they just mean, he made it known to todays generation. Lets be honest, not alot of younger people, like myself, knew of Paul Rodgers, before Eminem's Beautiful.

[YoungCat100]

voll des chillige lied!! =)

[rfw45]

This song touches my heart on many levels. A gem for sure.

[o1Prettyboy]

...

[preshy50]

Any Paul Rodgers fan would

[preshy50]

I think what you're all missing is that the Paul Rodgers sampling made Beautiful better, not the other way round. It would just be another dose of self pity from Eminem without it.

[pakipride2007]

no it didnt.

its only a few seconds in eminems song.

[MiniLud]

eminem made it way better

[darnthem]

im just so fuckin depressed because im eminem and i am gangster son... homie

[rimticketts]

yer fuck u u retard

[kanelic]

Listen to Eminem - Beautiful, he made it much better, no offense :)

[borkug]

Boooaafff... This is cheezy and unoriginal, come on... It's not a good song.

[Proudtobebritish93]

cant beat the original i say xD plus brian may is awsome

[regalis420]

eminem made this song soooo much better

just my opinion i dont mean to offend anyone

[preshy50]

Are you tripping or retarded? Eminem didn't make this song, he sampled the Paul Rodgers version at the beginning, that's all. Jeez

[regalis420]

thats what i meant asshole

[preshy50]

What does that mean, stupid? You said Eminem made the song so much better, but he didn't sing the song, he sampled the first few lines. So WTF are you on about?

[regalis420]

emienms version was better

he still used the song ....its his version ...its a better version

[orenben1]

wow if i could sing id propose with this song

[re707]

This is song is so weird and so great at the same time I don't think I've heard a voice as unique as Paul Rodgers's before

[GeneVRocks]

Paul Rodgers,one of the greatest.

[Asseli23]

Good old memories by this song!!!

[aiviloooooo]

On Eminem's song, Beautiful, does Paul Rodgers sing the intro?

[MCjamesjamesjames]

yep :)

[DaPhoenixNL]

its sampled

[XxSinisterJxX]

Yes he does :D

[Lu1s1r1zarry]

Yes he does sing the intro.

[LemonMan91]

Why is it that every nice girl seems to be too far away or already taken? T-T its so not fair

[rabbitspliff]

lol trust me they're all bitches. stop whining and listen to the song lol.

[Sizthree]

I know what you mean );

[MXTREME108]

cool song i didnt know about it till i heard eminem snog

[Lu1s1r1zarry]

Same lol.

[jenhs90]

[takeit2thecourtmang]

[takeit2thecourtmang]

guy has impossible voice

u feel so calm listening to this

[jcdent798310]

i listend to the song and i liked it.

also i like how eminem didn't sample the first part of this song but parts throughout the song.

a lil from the begining, a lil from the middle and end. listen and you'll see what parts he took.

incredible songs.

[monica5151990]

this is a good song

and it was good for eminem to pick this for the begining of beautiful =]

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

get over the eminem thing and just actually listen to the song

[scotty38886]

i dont really listen to eminem much but the way he sampled this is beautiful and its cos of him i found this GEM :)

[Thealmostguy]

Yeah it was a poignant sample. Awesome song(s).

[Stan995]

aaand " I'm so fucking depressed " xD

[thomas141414]

Cheers!

[JTSavage23]

Wow eminem made this 30x better

[LonerSoldierWolf]

True

[Keith313213]

more like 100x times better

[exe915]

Eminem diddnt sing the beginning it was
