  • I HOPE THE QUEEN BAND WOULD ALSO HAVE ADAM LAMBERT FOR THEIR LEAD VOCAL!

  • @kl060609 They hired Marc Martel for their tribute tour. :)

  • PUTIN MAIS C QUOI CETTE MERDE I C PAS CHANTER CE PELO C UNE HONTE A FREDDIE MERCURY !!!!!!!!!

  • Nie wiem jak Wy ale ja się popłakałam jak to zobaczyłam. Nie wierze że nim zastąpili Freddiego.

  • WTF! Is that Chuck Norris!?!!!

  • The replacement of Freddie will never happen, and a replacement of Freddie has not been tought of, at least not by theese guys. So why are so many of you thinking off and comparing Paul to Freddie. No, Paul can't do theese songs as Freddie did, but what does it matter? It's not a matter of doing it as good as, It's a tribute. They do it excellent, and paul do it his way. If Freddie had been singing BCs songs, would it sound as good as paul? Well, maybe but in Freddies way!

    Peace!

  • chuck norris singing OMG !

  • i don't know why people was complaining and complaining about paul work, freddie is death and his friends only want to make a tribute to him not to replace him, so stop complaining about it

  • nah reconozcamoslo, Paul hizo un buen trabajo, pero sin lugar a dudas Freddie era el unico que le ponia sentimiento a la cancion y que sabia como manejarla bien ....

  • hey! I can't find the comment that was posted on 9gag D:

  • Paul Rodgers is a GREAT SINGER!! But no one beats Freddies Voice!! The sad thing is that Queen+Paul Rodgers have split in 2009.

  • @adam985185 yes but the most sad is that lady gaga is going to be the new's QUEEn singer did you know it???it's very sad

  • @mecanito90 WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!? THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! I HAVE EXPECTED KLAUS MEINE AS THE NEW SINGER!!!

  • @mecanito90 Although in a strange way it makes sense, though. Both Freddie Mercury and Lagy Gaga are/were androgynous, bisexual, eccentric, etc. I don't know if Lady Gaga can hit the notes on "Bohemian Rhapsody," though. :-D

  • Gostei da Performance !!! Great

  • why does people compare paul with freddie? he was never supposed to be the same, neither is better or worse they're different singer with different styles

  • @APortlyNinja finally, someone with a brain

  • 1:57 fail, and the yeah ? hahahaha

    but good :D

  • Comment removed

  • I wish John toured with them. I miss him so much!

  • ROGER TAYLOR IS STILL HOT :D

  • This song is so much more awsome with the "HELLO SHEFFIELD!!!" Paul Rodgers sreams at the beginning. I mean this version of the song, because i have the exact same on mp3.

  • if you play the two songs once with Freddy singing and once with Paul singing , I have so many people tell me they not like how freddy never has a flow to the songs as he is always doing other things than singing on stage , well that was freddy , but they are right , as if you listen to the songs , you feel the song and enjoy the song more when Paul singing them , but each to there own !! but i really think there is no band better than what you are watching now !! amazing talent !!!

  • Without Freddie, this shouldn't be called Queen

  • @JCReaP I AGREE FREDDIE WAS QUEEN

  • @JCReaP well it isn't called queen!

    It is celled Queen and Paul Rodgers.

    Paul nerver wanted to be the "new Freddie"

  • He aint Freddy, but has a powerful voice in his own right, and im sure Freddy would approve.

  • what is the name of the bassist now that John Deacon is retired?

  • @joeleffler Danny Miranda is the bassist, Jamie Moses as second guitarist and the inofficial fifth Queen member Spike Edney on the keyboards.

  • † FREDDIE

  • I have brought the DVD of this show, and its great, not cut about like on here.

  • perfect song !! :D

  • At 2 minutes 20 seconds is the best guitar riff ever played, Bryan May = best guitarists alive today

  • paul is awesome for getting up on stage in front of everyone and singing these amazing songs in his own way, honoring freddy!! rock on brotha

  • it sounds like a cock is in his mouth best part 4:02

  • this is awful. No one can replace freddie.

  • @ewsdneax61eaxe10 give them props for trecking on without him!

  • I saw this concert on DVD and was really skeptical about someone trying do satisfactorily sing Queen songs. But I gotta tell you, his singing really won me over. I like the fact that he's not trying to sound like Freddie, as no one really can. He is a great singer in his own right.

  • @splashfizz 100 % TRUE. have got the dvd + i also went to the show. Paul Rodgers is the best sing song writter that will ever walk the planet. he singing quality is unbelievable. but tbh am not a huge queen fan. but freddy mercury was an amazing artist.. and when i first herd paul Rodgers was touring with queen first thing i thought of was how they going to do it. basically all they have done to suit paul is add extra bars on the end. Best thing is he dont even try to be like freddy. amazing

  • @DartingPro Must have been some concert to go to. I may have to buy my own copy of the DVD.

  • @splashfizz yeah mate it was phenomenal. get a copy of the dvd, u will be astonished. amazing :) 

  • Paul Rogers is a brave man,to take on such songs,made famous the world over by freddie,he did a great job, its nice to hear Queen playing live again.well done to them all.

  • Freddie broke free:(

  • Paul didn't fit this song at all.

  • Awesome, AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Paul Rodgers has a voice no one can equal!!

  • as a vocalist from 17 to 45 i can tell you as you age your voice range changes and you have to drop the range to keep from straining to hard and be there at the end of the show and still have quality in your vocals no he is not freddie but he never claimed to be but he did do a hell of a job as did the band i am glad they returned to the stage and give the world a chance to see them live agin

  • @MrJeff121165 Do you think Freddie if had lived would be singing as well at 60 as Paul Rodgers is doing today. I seriously doubt it.

  • They changed tones of almost each songs of Queen, because Rodgers cannot reach high notes like Freddie did. For me, it breacks the orginal song and Rodgers doesn't have the energy of Freddie. Rodgers simply changes the style, I don't recognize Queen... I'm sorry... maybe more equal between each members of the group but I prefered the old Queen with Mercury as a leader

  • Freddie and only Freddie!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @doda19888 nobody likes FREDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @TheSummerwine20 bullshit freddie is the one and only bitch

  • @doda19888

    comments like yours annoy me. Just because when you listen to queen, all you hear is Freddie mercury, doesn't mean that's what brian hears. Every member of a band, especially in the case of queen, plays a part in creating their music. It belongs to all of them, and its each one's baby really. You realize its not the same bass player right? but nobody says "just stop right there or else you'll spoil the memory of queen."

  • @doda19888

    " But because its the singer, everyone flips out. Even though brian doesn't sing, he still has a connection to his music, and if he wants to keep playing it, more power to him. It applies to the name too Freddie /= queen. They are all queen. So if they want to use the name they all put sweat blood and tears into, then more power to him there as well.

  • Freddie is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(*)

  • Paul Rodgers is the most gifted voice of Rock and Soul music. He is not recognized enough...but I'm most sure he could care less He's gotitall going on !!! and heknows it and I freakin love it

  • no doubt this was a great night out. freddie just made it less straightforward: some1 trapped in a relationship, resentful but codependent, bitchy w/ their lover, still wistfully clingy in the "can't live without, live without" bit. made the emotions more complicated w/ a huge contrast b/n grand declaration (=why latin countries took it straight), & self-tortured but self reflective fussy lover in unhealthy relationship. to each their own tho.

  • You cant fucking replace freddy mercury

  • Paul looks like shaved Chuck Norris, shame he cant imitate his voice completely :P

  • For the folks who say Freddie is dead get over it. Well I think everyone knows that Freddie is dead and isn't coming back. It doesn't mean that his friends and fans should forget him. I respect Roger, Brian, Paul, and even John for the way they respect Freddie's memory. John has his own approach in honoring his friend, but there is nothing wrong with what the others are doing here. Freddie is still with them in this moment and they know it - they make sure of it.

  • I really respect Paul Rodgers for his performance. It's even repectable that he intonates the Queen songs appropriately. But his Joe Cocker attitude really doesn't fit.

  • Lo siento, Paul me parece muy bueno en lo suyo que es el country-folk-rocksteady-AOR, pero no es lo mismo que Freddie. En vivo seguro que me sorprenden, pero es otra cosa. Freddie era un auténtico showman, sabí expresarse con el cuerpo.. Paul... es otra cosa, más relajado Te extrñamos Freddie, los demás tiene derecho a seguir sin ti pero te extrañamos.

  • what pedal is he using at 1:00

  • why is there a dislike button for this :D

  • Freddie 4 ever

  • I never liked Queen & no substance POP ROCK until I heard Rodgers give them a powerfull rock vocal & BALLS. Freddie was flamboyant (like most gays) & a good show man but ordinary singer to me. Pauls not here to do a parrot version of Freddies vocals & he dont have to nor should he. Paul=legend.Of course he doesnt sound like Freddie. HES NOT FREDDIE. Be interesting to hear Freddie sing FREE & BAD CO. songs. He couldnt do it & youd all say hes crap doesnt sound like Rodgers. Surprise! WONDER WHY

  • @itsdizzylizzy God that was so well said.....

  • @itsdizzylizzy God that was so well said..... BC was known as "Cock rock" and Paul Rodgers is also known as "The SOUL of Rock N Roll"

  • @itsdizzylizzy lol did you say Freddie was an ordinary singer, lol that's pretty funny. Yeah Paul's not Freddie, different styles but both are great singers to me. I would love to see Queen+Paul Rodgers be great to hear all those great Queen and Bad Company songs.

  • @ djcboston - well said - Paul's brought his own style while staying faithful to the music.

  • "Our hero, our friend, Mr. Paul Rodgers." ~Brian May's seal of approval.

  • All you assholes comparing Paul Rodgers to Freddie just look for reasons to complain. Would you rather have no Queen at all? They sound incredible. Paul did not replace Freddie he sang Freddie's lyrics. He didn't try to sound like him, he just did his own versions while keeping the music the same. Anyone who says this sounds bad has no taste. His style is the polar opposite of Freddie's which makes it fresh and inviting. Have some fuckin humility.

  • @djcboston I completely agree, what I have said all along along, Paul Rodgers is fantastic and has the most incredible career. I went to this tour and he was fabulous, since then I got into Free and Bad Company. Yes no one can compare to Freddie, but he isn't trying to be Freddie, he interprets the song in his own way, the same way May and Taylor re interpret Free and Bad Company songs. Freddie was a fan of Paul's, real Queen fans know the deal :) great music. He is no imitator like Arnel Pineda

  • not even chuck norris gets colse to Freddie Mercury's awesome voice!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They've all had facelifts!

  • Paul Rodgers is the best rock vocalist alive today! He is the most capable of singing and giving a sense of his own style to songs from a band of whom have sold more albums in the UK than any other band. :)

  • this songs excites me lot...

  • Comment removed

  • paul looks like robert downey jr !

  • paul looks like robert downey jr !

  • 2:35 haha happy dude xD

  • @nhlpens I know what you mean he got his Moneys worth :) And im sure id be the same had i been their :)

  • Queen is my favorite band. Nobody comes close. The in-between era of Freddie's death and Paul's arrival was the worst because when they did perform they tried a bunch of different guest singers and it didn't sound right at all. Then they recruited not only a rock legend is his own right, but a legit friend of the group.

  • Paul does a great job on this song 2.05 - 2.12 gives me chills.

  • The Music is deffantly the best part here. I don't think he has the voice to sing in this style of music. I can se him excelling in country music.

  • Only Freddie!

  • QUEEN NEED (Mary Mullen) best impresionator voice...

  • @MrDanielPresley ... You mean Gary Mullen? I think he is good but not too sure that Queen wants a guy that will try to "take" the place of Freddie, they wanted Paul so that they could still perform and let Paul bring his own style to their songs. It so far has had a negitive feedback come from fans.. I love Paul Rodgers and would like to see him perform with them again, too bad I don't think it will ever happen.. RIP Freddie Mercury!

  • Paul is an ok singer.

    He does well on songs like "We Will Rock You", and "Fat Bottom Girls"

    There are some songs he clearly can't handle though, "I Want to Break Free" and "Crazy Little THing Called Love" are among them.

  • @Fedcom ok singer he is awesome

  • @Fedcom He does an excellent job on IWTBF and CLTCL.

  • Paul isn´t here to replace Freedie....He´s Here because freddie is no more with us....

  • I went to see the concert fo Saitama and Tokyo, Japan. It was a great show I had ever been to go.

  • love Roger’s face on 0:43 :))

  • that was shit

  • queen without freddie isn t queen.

  • bad he does it on his own way shit as hell

  • 2:36 happy face xD

  • Freddie is one and only I like Paul singing but not as much Freddies.

  • Paul is great singer , but in songs of Queen , he sound not so good because he is singer for another type of rock music , Freddie can sing an Opera and Rock'n'Roll , but Paul can't and here is a different ... I wish if Queen with Paul or someone else could go to Croatia someday , that will my dream come to truth ... Long life Queen and Freddie R.I.P. .....

  • long live deacon

  • freddy es irremplazable,pero paul le pone otro toque a los temas,no esta mal, la banda una maza!!

  • please gary mullen is the best for queen!!!

  • I like the original Queen and Queen + Paul Rodgers!!!

    Both is very great!!

  • Paul Rodgers sings very good and it's a great Version, but Freddie is the Best!!

  • Rodgers non c'entra niente con freddie.questo è un insulto nei confronti di mercury!!!

    i queen sono morti con mercury,mercury era i queen

  • Brian may, Epic solo here. One of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Truly amazing.

    Miss you Freddie. R.I.P. and long live Queen!

  • @jwphillyphan36 Brian underrated.. when ??! Are you sure???

  • They really rehearsed hard for this and it shows. They nailed it. Paul rocks \m/ Freddie would be proud. Rock In Peace Freddie,you are the man \m/

  • Indeed, stop with these stupid comparisons and enjoy the music! This version is very good, Brian and Roger are as good as always!

  • Brian still looks awsome.

  • GREAT !!!!!! [2]

  • GREAT

  • Verrey few can make justice to Queens music and sing the songs. Paul Rodgers is his own, he dose,t try to immitate Freddy as that is impossible.Paul is one of rock'n rolls best voices

  • 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 !

  • @MrOvation1 Paul Rodgers has lately said that he could think about touring again with Queen. Would be absolutly awesome!

  • @MrOvation1 Freddy was a good singer ?????????????????????????? i have never seen a singer with such a voice and on stage personality as Freddy quite frankly.

  • hey paul never tried to be like freddy

  • @LaresDSN so right! :)

  • Were any of you losers actually in a room when Queen told PR to f-off? Probably not, so it probably didn't happen. So shut the hell up and enjoy the music for what it is, a collaboration that was never meant to replace Freddie. Long live Queen!!!

  • Queen still has the magic! one of the greatest live rock performances of all time!

  • 0:43

  • Comment removed

  • NO NO NO! It's all wrong, sounds like a f'd up country version.

  • it is way too fast but still way cool. IMHO.

  • @ColaAndPepsi  Way better than the wimpy studio version.

  • WOW

  • How come "QUEEN" doesn't TOUR anymore? Especially in the states?

  • Keeping Freddie's legacy alive!

  • YEAH BABY THEY STILL GOT IT nothings more exciting than clapping along to queen freddie and them where awsome and theyve not lost any of that magic they had

  • I went to see the first London show, not knowing what to expect, and I was blown over!

    I managed to get get tickets to Sheffield, so took my 17-yr old son and 15-yr old foster son.

    Both amazed, particularly the younger one because he'd never been to a live rock concert before.

    Do your ears always ring after the concert, he asked? Only if it's been a good one, I replied!!

    And, I have to confess, Paul Rodgers did bring something new to the songs, and I felt some were better for his presence.

  • that's good old 'rock magic' XD

  • @Limpandtotheleft i went to that same show and paul did the songs justice very well

  • instrumental part of curse, but freddie was freddie, the majestic

  • Awesome job.

    Some kids will learn from this.

    Freddie`s death is just the beggining. We all shall join him soon.

  • Freddie is great, but, unfortunately, he's dead. Get over this.

    Besides, Paul is not replacing him. It's called "Queen + Paul Rodgers".

  • wow i just posted this in the last vid i saw

  • @jvmiguel FREDDY MERCURY AHORA , SIEMPRE Y EN LA ETERNIDAD LO MAXIMO

  • @97969876 Please, don't get me wrong. I couldn't agree more with you. :)

    But Paul is also great, and between "Queen" and "Queen + Paul Rodgers" there's a huge difference, which is the spot our gret Freddy Mercury used to occupate.

  • @jvmiguel

    "Occupy"

  • @jvmiguel i like that by queen they now they can never replace Freddie so they call this project queen+ paul rodgers

    R.I.P Freddie

  • freddie died c la vie ................

  • I think all the Paul Rodgers should go to hell. Sure he is no where near as good as Freddie. But then again no one could ever be.

    He is still quite good though. I would definatly go and see Queen and Paul Rogers if they decided to tour again.

  • you dont understand the band then..freddie would have wanted them to continue (sad that john said no to this) but it is in freddies spirit to do this. these guys are big talents so it would be a HUGE shame if they didnt play their music...every member of queen wrote songs for the band..so its not like its only freddies band.. they can play if they like..and they should !!

  • Thank's for this Vid :) got the song as mp3version, but i've never seen the vid :)

  • stop hating on pual rodgers. i bet if he was touring with Queen again near where you lived and it was free you guys would go.

    he's not replacing Freddie dammit it's called Queen PLUS paul rodgers

  • que buena esa guitarra Brian!!!

  • Nada que ver de como la canta-va Freddie Mercury!

  • y si rodgers no trata de hacer una imitación sino que, quiere imponer su propio estilo

  • Personalmente pienso que es un muy buen tributo el que le hacen a Freddie, en ningun momento se insinua que Paul sea mejor que él ni nada..

    Dicho esto, supuestamente Freddie era un gran fan de Paul y en un punto hubo una pequeña discusion entre él y Bryan porque este quería que Freddie cantara como él, pero no podía..

  • claro, esta bien lo que pensás, pero no creo que sea para tanto.

    Queen fue y será para todos con Freddie. Pero hay que admitir también que suenan bien, los fui a ver a Velez y realmente fue emocionante.

    Bueno igualmente Rodgers se separó hace poco de Queen. El se lo perderá...

  • Para mi creo que es mejor que Paul se marchara del grupo!!! Queen esta mejor si el cambiando la manera de queen que con el no suena igual para nada!!! Cuando en un grupo de mu´sica falta la clave de como eran ya nunca mas vuelve aser lo que fue!!! En fin ya da lo mismo!!

  • This is helping to keep Freddies name and music going on for generations,freddies last song was the show must go on

  • His last song was "Mother Love" on the album "Made in Heaven"!

  • assa o cara estraga as musicas.........

    freddie faz falta..

  • WTF ! I am all n all queen fan, but this is bullshit. Why does he have to sing like someone is squeezing his nut sack. Sing like a normal guy, rather ending each line with eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. This is not a Mariah Careh concert.

  • Yes You Have Right I'am Fan From Poland and I think Paul Rodgers is Mistake... :/

  • when deacon retired,  queen should retire too

  • Disagreed.

  • deacon se retiro de la musica hace unos años.

  • y Deacon?

  • I agree with you

  • I liked it, but Im still waiting to see if he can hit an octive higher in any of these videos

  • No way.

    If Paul went an octave higher his testes would drop off. He's purely lower register.

    Fantastic vocalist though. I'm glad he did this so that we could hear queen perform again. Oh Freddie, we miss ya pal.

  • You obviously don't know Paul Rodgers.

  • awesom paul but missing ur band free ..

    and ur long hair......

    go on ...
