QUEEN & Paul Rodgers - I Want To Break Free (Prague concert)

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

@bj001r9327 You don't even know the true facts.Freddie himself named the band "Queen". do you think that "Smiles" would have had the same success Queen had? the answer is no.

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

Queen died along with Freddie,and as John Deacon once said;there's no point for the band to go on without Freddie.Mr Taylor and May must accept the fact that Queen without freddie won't have the same success.Follow John Deacon's path.

[bleedforme1981]

I like queen, but i like bad company better.... and i like this fine tribute to Freddie. How are you going to compare the Operatic and Atmospheric voice of Mercury to the Soulful Bluesy voice of Paul Rodgers . Apples to oranges.... I bet Freddie would not bash Paul for this rendition of this song. They are both Incomparable and Immortal frontmen with their high place in rock hierarchy.... Let's leave it at that and skip all the bashing and comparing.

[jghfkjdgs]

freddie mercury > paul rodgers

[rich88b]

Paul Rodgers has a terrific voice and helps Queen to live on!

[SimmonsDrums]

Bez bicích Simmons to není ono.

[StacyLynn1216]

Ditto to that last comment...I miss Freddie just like anyone else and I STILL LOVE HIM!!!! But does anyone remember Bad Company? Rodgers the lead singer, and i saw both bands in person, i was so close to Freddie that I could see his fingernails painted black moving over his keyboards!!! God, it was so awesome....NO ONE can replace Freddie, but Rodgers was damn good in Bad Company.

[mcrkid22]

Dudette you're so lucky... I'll never get to see Freddie live :/

[Jackattack20011]

No dude, the original bands name was Smile, and Freddie Mercury was always the lead singer of Queen, no one came before him, Paul Rodgers was never the lead singer before Freddie. If that was true then Queen + Paul Rodgers would just be Queen, not + Paul Rodgers, coz Rodgers was never in Queen. Learn ur facts mate

[gunnz187]

Ummm...No. Farrokh Bulsara (later changed his name to Freddie Mercury) was always the lead singer of Queen. There was nobody before him in Queen and nobody since him in Queen. If you notice, they go by Queen + Paul Rodgers. He was never meant to "replace" Mercury, he just sings with them on occasion. Freddie Mercury can never be replaced. Ever...

[Pussycatfeathers]

that was for bj001....dont mean to be disrespectful, but do you really expect anyone to understand what youre saying??!!!!!

[Pussycatfeathers]

sorry but i cant understand a word of this??? can you please write it again...in ENGLISH!

[emmjessy]

Queen Sem o Freddie Mercury Não é o QUEEN !

[namesarenotobligated]

really, ur grammar is on a very low level.

The only thing I can make up from that is that you and your son are both six years old.

[namesarenotobligated]

Maybe you should learn how to spell?

[bea4anrq12]

I don't think anyone can compare to Freddie, but I'm glad Paul rodgers is there to keep his legacy alive.

[louisejbjb]

Way to shakey

[1Arthemixa0]

Vaya mierda vaya mierda... esto no es queen, es roger taylor, brian may y el payaso ese que reemplaza la voz del grandisimo Freddie Mercury, al menos que cambien de nombre y no se hayan llamar queen..pues ese fue el nombre que eligio Freddie,asi que un respeto a su ausencia, que desconsideracion

[vivsim2]

no one can replace freddie ever and it's good they are called now queen + paul rodgers ,but I myself don't like paul but hey show must go on

rip freddie

[id0ntkn0wpr0ducti0ns]

paul rodgers SUCKS he messed up Queen

[jacobwalters85]

Well, they could just retire, and great musicians and songs can be buried in the sands of time. That's sounds way worse to me than Paul Rodgers.

[GingerVQ]

Claro que

[candelamar]

Queen sin Freddie no es Queen!

[ractti]

terrible....

just that. don't call yourselves queen anymore and you can play anything you want.

[thedude3092]

Wow the geniuses really come out on here. If it sucks to you, go do something physically impossible to yourself! That's why it's called Queen and Paul Rodgers you retard!

[darditoro]

malisimo MALISIMO, prefiero escuchar a queen solo aunque nadie cante, pero no a este tipo que no tiene el estilo de la banda y la perjudica. aguante mercury

[dyziu82]

powiedzcie że śnie .... Freddie proszę wróć , proszę .....

[novarockgirl]

paul rodgers is much better than George Michael

[kurgens]

john should demand this guy for doing such kinds of blasphemy

[colinanshell]

First Class 5 *****

[jamzee25]

he is no freddy he is rolling in his grave. he sucks

[bluepheonex1989]

susperia666: sorry mate i meant to quote the chap guy above you.

[bluepheonex1989]

Hmm,

Pauls voice dont fits to this song :( Better make an end of this crappy Rodgers with Queen project/band... Brian May and Roger Taylor better make solo stuff... a lot better as this commerciell thing.

______________________________­_____________

He is doing them a favour and has done brilliantly!! Paul Rogers has never EVER pretended to be a part of Queen, and gets very irritated when people say theyve been to see 'Queen' : Its 'Queen + Paul Rogers' and credit to him for doing it well.

[claudiomotor]

lo que sucede es que son diferentes estilos .pero creo que tiene muy buena voz y hay que darle tiempo no matarlo de entrada. yo escuche el nuevo disco y me parecio aceptable ya que no es queen. sino un nuevo grupo con diferente cantante.x que si lo que se espera es que sea como cuando estaba freddie.estamos equivocados.

[claudiomotor]

no hay que comparar. ni esta mal que haga canciones de queen. yo creo que lo hace con mucho respeto y tambien me gustaria ver a los integrantes de queen haciendo canciones de bad company donde paul era el lider.

[FedeContrabbassista]

Paul Rodgers, non cantare le canzoni dei Queen che non sei capace.

[irenemogyoros]

This is a shame... horrible... Without Freddie it is a big nothing !!! How can this man dare to sing Queen songs ? and how is it possible that other members of Queen let him sing ????

[susperia666]

Hmm,

Pauls voice dont fits to this song :( Better make an end of this crappy Rodgers with Queen project/band... Brian May and Roger Taylor better make solo stuff... a lot better as this commerciell thing.

[freddiezgay]

Just goes to show Queen could have been a much better band without Freddie, Rodgers is a way better and more soulful singer

[danitaly]

Your crappy comment goes to show you're a total jerk. Get a life, loser

[boppah]

Hahaha Freddie made Queen, Freddie made the best band ever.

Rodgers is good, but he is not freddie.

Freddie was soulful and a better entertainer.

Rodgers is good, Freddie is the best ever.

[jackmercury90]

queen without freddie aren't queen

remember this fans of paul rodgers

[danitaly]

Indeed. They are not Queen now, they are Queen + Paul Rodgers. And without him we would've never had the chance to see B & R playing live. So I guess we could have a little gratefulness for Paul.

[mafalda1790]

Muchachos.. hay que ser bien ciegos... CIERTAMENTE DICE.." Paul Rodgers + Queen".. En ningun momento dice.. QUEEN solamente... NO SE PUEDE COMPARAR A PAUL CON FREDDIE!!!! Son propuestas COMPLETAMENTE DIFERENTES... Paul.. no tendría nada que envidiarle a Freddie.-... ni Freddie a Paul... SON DIFERENTES MUCHACHOS POR FAVOR!!!!.. .. Paul no trata de Reemplazar a Freddie.. NO TIENE PORQUE!....

[Edgecutor666]

freddie mercury declarado mejor cantante de todos los tiempos... rodgers no

freddie mercury declarado nuevo rey del rock...rodgers no

freddie mercury alcanzaba notas mas altas y bajas que rodgers

rodgers se dedicaa versionar canciones de queen mientras que freddie componia una gran parte de ellas

por dios es que no me puedes comparar a freddie mercury con este tio que no dudo que sea un gran cantante pero es como comparar a mozart con bach...los dos erabuenos pero es q mozart era el mejor

[mafalda1790]

Y Volveeeemos a lo mismo....

NO ES DE COMPARAR.. COMO BIEN HE DICHO.. NO ES POSIBLE COMPARAR COSAS QUE NO SON SIMILARES...Paul Rodgers es Un Excelente Cantante, y el no está ahi.. para reemplazar a Freddie!!! Como una fanática de Queen y De Freddie LO SE!!!. Ciertamente dice.." QUEEN + Paul Rodgers"... No se llaman " QUEEN" solamente!!!! Paul Rogers es un cantante Excepcional.. y de un alto tallaje!... Hay que leer un poco mas... hay que leer!

[rorrosebastian]

Entiendo que no es la idea de comparar...

pero en el momento en que Paul Rodgers se puso sobre el escenario ... en un concierto donde el titulo es " QUEEN + Paul Rodgers" ... obviamente la exigencia es alta para el espectaculo... si no esperas que se comparen... entonces no deberian tocar ninguna cancion de Queen, y hacer otras completamente nuevas...ahi ,, recien ahiii podrian decir ..."no se deben comparar" porque ahi si tendrian su propia identidad... por ahora aun esta a la sombra de freddie

[Agi555]

PR GO HOME!

[ccarrau]

Queen solo existe en los viejos videos, en los cds, esto no es queen, solo una burda imitación

[BichodeOro]

Entonces espero que no se "indisponga" cuando Queen toque en una ciudad cerca a usted y usted no los vea por terco :)

[ccarrau]

Todo bien con Rodgers, ya estoy indispuesto desde que murio Mercury, lo que sostengo es que Queen nunca va a morir pero, al igual que en los Beatles no hay reemplazantes que valgan.

[BichodeOro]

Es que nadie va a reemplazarlo.

Al menos en eso estamos de acuerdo.

[estrllitadeluz]

ni a los talones!!jaa

[BichodeOro]

Rodgers no está tratando de imitar a Freddie.

Pero si usted realmente fuera fan de Queen no querría que la banda se muriera o si?

[panebco]

Sarebbe rispettoso nei confronti di Freddy che si sciogliessero, il nome Queen non dovrebbe esistere con un altro cantante.. anche se bravo e tutto il resto.. Ci sono cose che vanno oltre.. Tanto sono comunque morti tutti con Freddy..E' giusto che resti il ricordo..

[urbano12345]

D'ACCORDISSIMO CON TE

[edesir]

I feel Like im In a Irish kareoke Bar.

[biskup777]

Im sad. this is a profanation. they shouldnt play old songs....

[ilovepaulrodgers]

the problem with all you ant-paul people is that your eyes, ears and minds are so closed that you cant see anything else but the old queen and youre missing something really brilliant by not being able to appreciate pauls voice, this attitude is really lame and after 15 years of freddie being dead-----BORING!!!!!!

[Stopfoolinplz]

Shut the fuck up you retarded idiot.Freddie was and will be forever the only queen singer.Cant you hear how he FUCKING KILLS THE SONG?are you deaf or something?I sing it better in my room for fucks sake.thats tottaly disrespectfull to freddie.and yes I open my eyes,but I must close my ears cause this is tottaly shit.fuck you and paul rodgers all together,prejudiced 55 years old stuckhead that the only thing you can type is "I love paul,open ur minds" and shit like that.fuck u

[ilovepaulrodgers]

do you always speak to women like this, you are the retard and i dont appreciate it, respect.....youre the one who has no respect and cant write anything without this prophanity so dont answer anything from me any more......i dont like your language!!!!!!!!

[skaterchic24]

Paul Rodgers has an AMAZING voice. Freddie liked Paul. Hed be proud. Go listen to any of the vids on my channel in my favorites, you'll see. Get ur head out of ur ass and be open to new things, Yes, Freddie was great, the best, But hes gone now. Dont dis Paul cuz hes not Freddie. NOBODY is or ever will be. It would be mocking Freddie if Paul tried to be like him or sing like him... Pauls got his own style that the whole band likes. Deal with it, and be happy Queen is still here for us to enjoy.

[vGIO14]

when queen is to concerts why cant they just play freddie live from taht time he was in live, because paul rodgers sounds terrible he sings more country than rock.

R.I.P Freddie

[PauloKiske]

fuck you, and let they be!

[vGIO14]

fuck you self

[ilovepaulrodgers]

well that would be just great wouldnt it?!!!!! how boring is that?????? paul is not and never was a country singer, hes known as the best voice in rock and his nickname is actually "the voice"!! why dont you look him up and then youll have an idea of how big this man is!!!

[bleedforme1981]

@ilovepaulrodgers Identified as "the soul of rock and roll"

[nocjosh]

Paul Rodger's voice sounds more suited to country than rock.

[vGIO14]

yes that i also think

[SumoDave]

One device I use that helps me is to tell myself, "Give them Free Reine" Free for Paul's former group and Reine- French for Queen- it helps me keep perspective.

[Docksy32]

I think you have to remember this is Queen and Paul Rodgers - no one will ever replace Freddie, I just wish John Deacon had agreed to join them as his superb bass guitar playing added a lot to Queen!

[mothergoose1967]

John Deacon was deeply affected by Freddie's death and he retired shortly after. I don't blame him really. On the other hand its great that the rest of the Queen band is touring but IMHO I don't agree that Rodgers is singing old Queen hits already made famous by Irreplacable Freddie...they should be touring with "New" music.

[Docksy32]

Yeh I agree I must admit I do like them doing Free's - Alright Now!

[mothergoose1967]

Paul Rodgers=Bad Company + Queen=BAD QUEEN

The old saying goes: You can't replace Mom with Step-Mother!

[dejffjed]

Yes, Freddy can't be covered but it doesn't mean that Paul Roger is bad. He's worse than Freddy but not so much to be called "Bad".

[piringer82]

Freddy is GOD. Best singer ever!

Paul Rodgers's voice is sucks. He has no style, no appearance. There're more better singer than him. Whoever likes this Queen more has brainproblems...

[mikeplix21]

Have a cold shower! Im a great Queen and Freddie`s fun. But I just can`t stick to my not existing toy till the end. Crying and calling for Freddie`s ressurection is fine, but it SUCKS! Just stand up, you losers, look out of yer windows and realize the new day has already come! You can`t eat one food twice and there will never be Freddie again so just listen to it without offences or shut up and leave! How would YOU feel if such ZEROES like you would still be saying these s h its about you??!

[piringer82]

paul rodgers is a pathetic loser!!!!!!! FREDDY IS GOD!!!!

[mattfatherofgrace]

agreed!

[ShaunTheLeprachaun]

Yeah, will you guys stop knocking Paul. I'm sure that he knows that he can't be Freddy. The band want to keep playing, presumably for the love of the job more than earning money, seeing as how they're all multi millionaires already. Paul is interpreting the songs his way. I'm sure that Freddy wouldn't be upset about that. And the quality of this vid gives no indication of his true talent.

[Skarsniktheman]

totally agree

[McMikeEU]

Rodgers doesnt suck, h's different from Fredy but he aint bad!

[QueenHits]

Paul Rodgers SUCKS !!!

search in Google "dios salve a la reina" a tribute to Queen group...the frontman sing like Freddie !!!

[JonasLee]

lame

[xabsentx]

i dont think they should be singing john deacon`s song without him.

[hoklik2]

It´s a Queen song. Yes, John Deacon wrote it but for Queen. It´s not a solo work.

[kaszasjoe]

I`m a Queen fan, I was 5 years old when I first heard Queen, and I fell in love with it. Now I`m 22, and I think that there can be no repacement for Freddy. Paul sucks, his accent, voice is not worthy for singing Queen songs. It would have been better if they remained home. Queen shall live forever.

[Chekepeluca]

Im 22 too and I´ve been listening to queen since I was 10 and I couldnt be more agree with u body. His voice just sounds awful singing queen songs.

[jordantmorris]

Long live Queen + Paul Rodgers!

[iluvbrianmay123]

i am a queen + paul rodgers fan forever, on this interview yesterday morning, brian sed that they will be touring at the O2 Arena in London in September but they do not know the date yet

[mercurysfan]

utter trash paul rodgers needs rodgered alright.

[policeman90210]

"what a show, what a band"

-murvagh1

[danidoft]

que voz mas horrible tiene paul rodger no le llega ni a los talones a freddie mercury y mas encima que roger taylor y brian may son unos traidores no como john deacon que supo pensar

[garfieldUSA]

WHO IS PAUL ROGERS???

[taxford]

are you serious????

[taxford]

Lou Gramm from Foreigner's biggest influence!! Brad Delp (RIP) from Boston biggest influence!! David Coverdale from Deep Purple and Whitesnake biggest influence!! Who is Paul Rogers!!! Remember "All right now" from Free? Remember Bad Company??

[garfieldUSA]

unfortunately , Queen is the only rock band i know and i love. so i don't know Bad Company, unfortunately.

[boggie0retard]

Wishing Well

Fire and Water

Free(L)

[judasmercury]

with all the respect, but if you noticed well, Freddie Mercury is still present in the concert, not physically, but in the spirit in all those people, you could here his voice from their voice especially during love of my life. :P Freddie lives forever! and Paul rodgers is giving his help for his spirit to carries on :P so respect them both !

[murvagh1]

At least I saw queen, all be it without Freddie. Rodgers was good though, and the music was fantastic. What a show, what a band.

[blakelewisftw]

He has never written a song with queen but theres just a few songs that he just sucks at like the show must go on and all there very very huge songs like dont stop me now

[stale56]

i have to admit tho paul is still pretty good, just couldnt write songs like mercury this i think was written by mercury

i think w8 no i KNOW its physicly impossible to replace freddie and brian and taylor (not 2 be mean) but they did they passed the lines by TRYING to replace freddie

[HairyMuffinMan]

They didnt try to replace Freddie, its Queen AND Paul Rodgers, not Queen WITH Paul Rodger.

Roger and Brian and probably even Paul Rodgers himself, knows that replacing Freddie Mercury.

And I wish everyone would stop this PR bashing, its getting old. If you can do a job better than him, then you can criticise him, but for the main part Paul is doing great.

Also, this song was written by John Deacon.

[SirJohnny25]

Everybody sucks compared to FREDDIE MERCURY....I wonder how Bruce Dickinson or Geoff Tate would sing this song :|

[dachord76]

have you heard Bruce sing Bohemian Rhapsody with Montserrat Caballe I was blown away. No one could do that like Fred mind you, but he was really good

[SirJohnny25]

WTF ?lol Bruce and Monserrat ? where ,when how ?

[dachord76]

yeah it was for some benefit, my boyfriend downloaded for me on mp3, but I don't know what concert it was from. Believe it or not, they were really good. And I was thinking that Fred would have loved to hear Montserrat singing his song, since he loved her so much> But if anyone could pull off BoRhap it would Bruce Dickinson

[dachord76]

check it out on youtube its Iron Maiden - Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen cover) its Bruce and Montserrat, I think its a worthy tribute

[stratman5001]

PAUL SUCKS

[tsergay]

Paul Rodgers is a really good singer. He has a powerful voices and it rocks!!

[Tatdoul]

What are you talking about?! People went to concert to see Brian, Roger & Paul!

[leajovi]

NO ME GUSTA COMO CANTA ESE SEÑOR

[thegiftgold]

Freddie is dead!!!!

[TRWolf]

It's just not the same without Freddie. People went to Queen concerts to see Freddie, not Paul Rogers.

[stale56]

now they go to see may(its sorta hard to see taylor, but they still go 2 try to see him) and its not good anymore

[HairyMuffinMan]

No, they went to see Queen, now their going to see Queen + Paul Rodgers. I mean no disrespect to Freddie, he was obviously a brilliant frontman, and obviously Queens going to be different without him, its also different without John, but this gives them a chance to explore new areas!

Stop being stuck in the past.
