agreed PR is no Freddie....but this was something different....a real tribute to and by Queen. The idea put me off at the beginning, but adding the "odd" choice of PR only made the song shine without copying the original. And PR proves again he is one of the better front men ever.
Yeah everyone's on the same page that it's not up to par with one of the greatest vocalists in rock history, but do you think freddie would like to see Queen stop playing just because of his passing? Wherever he is I'm sure he's watching this and smiling.
@elknobomucho-You're a joke! Paul Rodgers, former lead singer of Bad Company has smoothly crooned his way through 40 years of classic American rock and roll. This "caricature" as you so stupidly put it, has a trillion times more nerve and talent as you will never have, so shut your Twinky bandit cakehole until you have the vaguest inkling of what the phuck you're so mindlessly babbling about.
@70goldtop Really. Looks to me like 'ol Paul there would know a lot more about being gay than me. Just look at the fucker for christ's sake...leather pants..false teeth...plastic surgery...a relic with fucking a hair piece. See at the strat pack concert ...so much talent on show and then there was him. He was embarrassing!!
I miss Freddy as much as any fan, but you have to admit, this song rocks. I am glad someone is still able to give us his music with as much intensity as it was intended. Thank you paul rogers.
Okay, by this comment, I am not inviting someone to try and attack it. I just think that Queen, if they're going to tour, should get Marc Martels. Just saying.
@trumsolon It's a little bit the same discussion Bon Scot Vs Brian Johnson AC/DC. But yes I do not hear so many Freddie phrases - but I think, yhey have had that talk during rehearsels?
Look at the audience,,,. they're voting for it,,I think here you have a man whom Freddie and his band mates would ave invited to jam anytime and were likely mates, who is giving everything hes got to pay tribute to someone he admires enough to cover, and also to bring it to the fans. Thank you Paul
I respect Paul and he's a great vocalist, but this just doesn't work. I would actually prefer a Freddie clone over him. He makes every Queen song sound like Bad Company. The feel and vocal inflection is really lacking. I was lucky enough to see Freddie 4 times live so maybe I'm just jaded? For me, everything about this is difficult to watch.
stop about complaining about freddie not being there! Paul is better than any of us and is a kick-ass singer Freddie would be proud and whatever happens, he is dead so we can't do anything about it
Brian May still looks and plays so powerful but Roger Taylor looks like a overweighted heap of half-hearted and powerless thing. I think he is not even playing live....he is deifnately too old fpr gigs like these.
@MrJudgeSauter Ouch...kinda harsh. I'd say (especially taking his age into concideration) that he is an absolutely fantastic drummer, as he always was.
@MrJudgeSauter Well what you said was pretty rude man, and I have watched the whole concert, had the DVD for years, and I don't think someone who drums so well at his age should take such heavy criticism.
@od112 They could have gotten a Freddie look-alike or somebody off the street who doesn't know shit about the band or just maybe they should have let the music die with Freddie but instead they talked a veteran rock singer with an already impressive resume to join them. And I like So take it and like it for what it is, If you don't like it don't watch.
let's appreciate rodgers w/o revisionism please? queen set themselves apart overtime by forgoing blues-based rock, led zep, 60s rock etc. they pushed the envelope with non-traditional/"serious" rock influences. FBG was done as naughty, vulgar but still good-natured sexy humor - Fred was like a presh jester! OK if rodgers does it straight-faced bluesy twang, blokey bloke. no need to defend rodgers by dumping on freddie & queen's highly unique approach (still controversial!)- or vice versa.
They could have gotten a Freddie look-alike or somebody off the street who doesn't know shit about the band but instead they talked a veteran rock singer with an already impressive resume to join them. So take it and like it for what it is, If you don't like it don't watch.
Nobody could ever "replace" Freddie Mercury, I think he was a once in a life time vocal artist. That being said, I think Paul Rodgers did an awesome job. He made the songs his own, but they were still very enjoyable, and true to the original spirit with which Feddie endowed them. I offer you a virtual standing ovation Mr. Rodgers.
Brian and Roger your are my heroes. Freddie's been dead for twenty years and you guys still rock. If you weren't around we would be forced to listen to Justin Beieber and Lady gaga. Thank You for rocking all over the world for over 40 years.
I was at this show and the amount of people I heard saying outside the arena after the show, oh he is no Freddie, was really annoying. He wasn't ever trying to be and made that clear in many TV interviews before the tour. Paul Rodgers is a phenomenal singer and really did the show, Freddie and the rest of the band proud. Rock on Paul!!!
@demonhoopa Queen's music was never GAY, Paul Rodgers is a EXCELLENT lead singer for Queen...Look at at this way, for the 1st time in Queen's history, all the members like FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS...
@demonhoopa You don't get it...I meant Homosexuality, although Freddie was, Queen's music didn't excite the gay masses, like say REM's music does...Bicycle Race, Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon, etc., Queen's fans, in huge amounts were straight as an arrow, more open minded maybe, but queer, not...Tie Your Mother Down, Ogre Battle, Liar, Dead on Time, Let Me Entertain you, screamed with Heterosexuality...and the fans who liked them did too...
@rwaggs62 Well I guess we BOTH "don't get it" then because actual "Homosexuality" and the sexual preference of Queen's audience was not what I was referring to. I was talking about the flair in the songs and performances of Freddie which are commonly associated with being "gay". Paul Rogers is nearly as bad a replacement as I could have come up. Why didn't they just get it over with and get Glen Danzig or Henry Rollins? Was Toby Keith not available? ROFL
@rwaggs62 The majority of Queen songs were actually written in tongue and cheek i.e. "I want to break Free" which was written by John Deacon and it was Rogers idea to dress up in drag! All about humour. People can cherry pick what they would regard as "gay" but even songs like seaside rendevouz is not "gay" it's part of the genre of vaudeville. People should take a look at their catalogue before making such statements. daeth on two legs, liar, march of the black queen, hammer to fall, wwry+watc
I think Paul Rodgers is trying way to hard to be like Freddie. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of "the new Queen." I much prefer the original, but I give props to Brian May and Rodger Taylor for still going at it. I know Freddie would be proud :)
@Dj1nky Paul Rodgers doen't try to pass himself off as Freddie, he has the respect to realise that he shouldn't try to sound like somebody else. It Queen + Paul Rodgers, not Queen + some guy who hasn't got his own style...
Brian & Roger did it FOR THE QUEEN FANS ..... John should have seen it was for FANS that wanted to show love to them ONE LAST TIME .... even Freddie would have seen it that way ..... So Paul ain't that great / at least he knew all the lyrics .... AND I TRULY THINK FREDDIE IS UP THERE SMILIN' & SAYIN' GOOD JOB GUYS ( And John what the hell ?? It was about the MUSIC - not just me ... now get out there & play !! )
The reason Queen's sound was soo powerful when they sang together was because Roger's really good on the very high notes, Brian May on the lower. And Freddie had a veery powerful voice in almost every case. SO when they sang together they covered everything and made a really cool sound. This does not happen with Paul. : /
I'm kinda changing my mind about Paul Rodgers. No Freddie, but this is definately THE BEST a rock band can be by now. Killers, STrokes, Muse can dream to sing/play/se the people on fire like this.
@Vendimi3 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 !
Any band as big as Queen is hard to keep going once you lose a singer, but I feel that Paul is so classy in his renditions of these songs, and he's a real Frontman, with a world class voice, you fall in love with him right away. You just say, damn, what a great singer and he loves the songs. It's a gift really these four crossed paths.
Great to see Paul enjoying himself singing this song.
Haters were dissing the whole idea of Paul touring with Queen but I think people seeing these songs performed, both Queen's and Paul's will be amazed. Hopefully they'll get together and tour again.
I think it was cool they went old school. Bring in a little young fairy who sings like freddie and it would be old poser's just trying to get young again.
It's really kind of sad to see Roger and Brian so old. Makes me wonder... maybe it was, in a way, good that Freddie died so young. I mean, of course everybody misses him and of course he was like some sort of angel ;-) but imagine angel Mercury being 60 years old, bent, grey-haired or bold, all wrinkled like Brian and Rog... that just doesn't seem right. Only the good die young...
The one thing thats missing that makes this song ferking awsome is roger's drum roll. yeah its there but not like the studio version. I firmly believe roger taylors drumming is some of the most underrated drums ever and definitely some of the best sounding drums ever recorded... save for maybe bonham's drums.
I have avoided watching any Queen vids with Rogers and I have been very critical of it, but after hearing him doing this, my favorite Queen song... I must say he did pretty damned good. Not Freddy, noone ever will be but this is a nice sound and his lower vocal range fits this tune well.
Jeez you knockers talk crap. I never liked Queen much, but I'll sure as hell listen to this. Good hard gutsy stuff. Mercury was all flamboyance. Paul made Bad Company what it was and sure makes Queen a legitimate rock band. Radio gaga, radio googoo? what the hell is that? Kindergarten words. Give me a break. Pah!
how has this been allowed for paul rodgers to supposedlly take freddies place, he's no good really!!! a better singer should have been chosen, just for the purpose of prolonging the careers of the remaining band!!!! i know some people are glad to hear queen live but its nothing like a true QUEEN CONCERT, compared to what they are churning out nowadays, FREDDIE IS IRREPLACEABLE full stop!!!
@sabbath1888 If Paul Rodgers cannot sing or perform this song properly, Brian May's got sausages, not fingers. Paul isn't Freddy, but hands off and hats off to him. You'd better get on your bike and ride! :-)
I know that what I am about to say will sound very weird. Paul did a great job indeed in singing for Queen. However, I have a feeling that there is also another great singer who could sing exceptionaly for Queen and his name is Robbie Williams. Not wanting you to make fun at me, I must say that rock music is my life and I consider Queen (with Freddie Mercury of course) one of the top bands of all time. I just have the feeling that this combination would work cause Robbie has an excelent voice
@JimFloyd86 We got a lot of great singers who could stand for Freddy: Robbie Williams, Sammy Hagar from Van Halen, George Michael, David Coverdale from Whitesnake for example
They couldn't find a better guy to sing Freddie's stuff! I never liked Paul Rogers but he has a great voice! The key here is that he was not trying to sound like Freddie!
As much as I am and have always been a fan of Paul Rodgers, I still had trouble imagining his voice on Freddie Mercury's songs. Forget that. Paul's a better singer than Freddie ever was RIP and his versions kick mad ass! I have to be up at 4am and I'm sitting here at Midnight with headphones on and can't get enough! Awesome! I hope... they do another tour. I want to see this show!
Really good stuff. It ain't Freddy, but it doesn't have to be. The music speaks for itself and Paul does an superb job. I applaud him for not trying to be Freddy, but to put his own voice into the music. And there is nothing to say about Brian May, he's still is and has always been one of the very best in rock. Good for them

Brian & Roger did it FOR THE QUEEN FANS ..... John should have seen it was for FANS that wanted to show love to them ONE LAST TIME .... even Freddie would have seen it that way ..... So Paul ain't that great / at least he knew all the lyrics .... AND I TRULY THINK FREDDIE IS UP THERE SMILIN' & SAYIN' GOOD JOB GUYS ( And John what the hell ?? It was about the MUSIC - not just me ... now get out there & play !! )

No one will ever replace Freddy but Paul Rodgers does a pretty good job. Love to watch them play.

The reason Queen's sound was soo powerful when they sang together was because Roger's really good on the very high notes, Brian May on the lower. And Freddie had a veery powerful voice in almost every case. SO when they sang together they covered everything and made a really cool sound. This does not happen with Paul. : /

I'm kinda changing my mind about Paul Rodgers. No Freddie, but this is definately THE BEST a rock band can be by now. Killers, STrokes, Muse can dream to sing/play/se the people on fire like this.

@Vendimi3 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 !

Any band as big as Queen is hard to keep going once you lose a singer, but I feel that Paul is so classy in his renditions of these songs, and he's a real Frontman, with a world class voice, you fall in love with him right away. You just say, damn, what a great singer and he loves the songs. It's a gift really these four crossed paths.

Great to see Paul enjoying himself singing this song.
Haters were dissing the whole idea of Paul touring with Queen but I think people seeing these songs performed, both Queen's and Paul's will be amazed. Hopefully they'll get together and tour again.

It's really kind of sad to see Roger and Brian so old. Makes me wonder... maybe it was, in a way, good that Freddie died so young. I mean, of course everybody misses him and of course he was like some sort of angel ;-) but imagine angel Mercury being 60 years old, bent, grey-haired or bold, all wrinkled like Brian and Rog... that just doesn't seem right. Only the good die young...

The one thing thats missing that makes this song ferking awsome is roger's drum roll. yeah its there but not like the studio version. I firmly believe roger taylors drumming is some of the most underrated drums ever and definitely some of the best sounding drums ever recorded... save for maybe bonham's drums.

I have avoided watching any Queen vids with Rogers and I have been very critical of it, but after hearing him doing this, my favorite Queen song... I must say he did pretty damned good. Not Freddy, noone ever will be but this is a nice sound and his lower vocal range fits this tune well.

Freddie wouldn't hate.
Brian May introduced him once as "Our hero, our friend, Mister Paul Rodgers." If he has Brian's seal of approval he has mine.

Jeez you knockers talk crap. I never liked Queen much, but I'll sure as hell listen to this. Good hard gutsy stuff. Mercury was all flamboyance. Paul made Bad Company what it was and sure makes Queen a legitimate rock band. Radio gaga, radio googoo? what the hell is that? Kindergarten words. Give me a break. Pah!

how has this been allowed for paul rodgers to supposedlly take freddies place, he's no good really!!! a better singer should have been chosen, just for the purpose of prolonging the careers of the remaining band!!!! i know some people are glad to hear queen live but its nothing like a true QUEEN CONCERT, compared to what they are churning out nowadays, FREDDIE IS IRREPLACEABLE full stop!!!

I know that what I am about to say will sound very weird. Paul did a great job indeed in singing for Queen. However, I have a feeling that there is also another great singer who could sing exceptionaly for Queen and his name is Robbie Williams. Not wanting you to make fun at me, I must say that rock music is my life and I consider Queen (with Freddie Mercury of course) one of the top bands of all time. I just have the feeling that this combination would work cause Robbie has an excelent voice

As much as I am and have always been a fan of Paul Rodgers, I still had trouble imagining his voice on Freddie Mercury's songs. Forget that. Paul's a better singer than Freddie ever was RIP and his versions kick mad ass! I have to be up at 4am and I'm sitting here at Midnight with headphones on and can't get enough! Awesome! I hope... they do another tour. I want to see this show!

Really good stuff. It ain't Freddy, but it doesn't have to be. The music speaks for itself and Paul does an superb job. I applaud him for not trying to be Freddy, but to put his own voice into the music. And there is nothing to say about Brian May, he's still is and has always been one of the very best in rock. Good for them
