Wow lots of people( myself included) really miss Freddie, but he's gone. So what's the rest of the band supposed to do? Stop performing because Freddie's gone? Somehow I can't see that as fair, and if anyone actually knows I' like them to share if Freddie wanted the band to keep playing...ya think?.
Paul Rodgers isn't Freddie Mercury..but he can sure sing..and... ' the show must go on.
Still stuck in grief ... let him go...he's not coming back....18 years later now..let him go
I think Queen and Paul R will be touring Australia soon? I was wondering whether to get tickets to the show, and after seeing this, I really want to go! Brian looks amazing after all these years, too!
Lets face facts; it is impossible to replace Freddie Mercury-definitely a once in a lifetime singer and performer. So lets give Paul Rodgers some slack. He is a great artist as well but he knows he can't fill Freddie's shoes. I think he does an amazing job in spite of unrealistic comparisons. Well done, Paul. Folks, take your meds, relax & enjoy the good music!
jarden you are so right...most people make comments without having the faintest idea of what theyre talking about let alone knowing anything about music history!!!! but you cant convince the "haters"...they are so biased against anyone new that they are closed up to reason...its possible to love and respect freddies memory without insulting paul or talking out of ones a...!!!!!
I don't think Paul is having to be "Brave" at all...I cannot think of a Better person to fill in for Freddie Mercury. Remember, Paul is a bigger and more accomplished Rocker than Freddie was. Paul has written and sung WAY more successful songs than freddie ever did. Free? Bad Company? The Firm? Ever heard of these Top Rock Bands?
Yeah he is good but I believe Queen have sold by some estimates over 300million records. Now I don't think Free, Bad Co and the Firm could come close even combined.
He's good and does a good job giving his interpretation of Queen songs but yeah, he's not better
Delusional? No...juts someone who truly knows music and truly knows "Quality." You see, you are making a common mistake...you are confusing "Popularity" (Record Sales) with "Quality" (Technical Expertise in the CRAFT of music making and song writing). Anyone who KNOWS the "Craft" knows that Paul Rogers was WAY more successful than Freddie. Thta is all I was saying. It;s a fact that Paul was successful in THREE bands, and was a MUCH Better Musician and Songwriter than Freddie.
yes, paul has writeen many songs and he is amazing with the rest of queen. But i think freddy was better. and people buy songs and therefore increase record sales because of its quality.
I think Paul is a brave man for trying to fill Freddies shoes - but I agree I think Freddy would have wanted the show to go on - well done guys keeping the music alive also keeps Freddie alive
The most important is that Queen active members are playing and creating music today, and for young people who didn't seen Queen with Freddie, it's fantastic to have the chance of listening this music played live by them.Paul Rodgers is a very good singer, and with him,we have the oportunity to see and amazing rock collaboration between exceptionnal musicians.he's having fun and pleasure with brian and roger.please let us having it with them to! Queen&Rodgers Rocks!
cant agree more they seem to be having a blast and i for one have had a great deal of pleasure from the colaboration between paul and brian ok so its not the origional line up for both bands but it keeps the music and more importantly the live performances alive to reach an audiance that may not have had the oppertunity in the past to apreciate
presumably the words "the show must go on" summed up freddy's attitude to things. How can you say it is a disgrace when it's most probably what he would have wanted (sorry to sound cheesey). Also i dont think anyone can fill freddy's shoes but paul rogers has given it a damn good try
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...
I love this Brian May song! I put Tie Your Mother Down on really loud on my radio and i danced on my sofa and i jumped off it! BRIAN MAY FOREVER!!!!!!! LOVE YOU SWEET HEART!!!!!
get it through ur thick skulls brian an roger are just as much queen as ne others freddie would be proud that they are back on tour! good for those of you that accept paul rogers!
yer, paul is doin a good job with Queen, and Freddie wud av bn plzd they r back on tour, coz i know, the 1 thing freddie wud av liked, was 2 b able 2 tour for 'the miracle' and 'innuendo' if he had bn well enough, he said there r alot of tracks on both albums tht wud sound gr8 live, and now there bein done...fred wud b proud for the boys
I think Paul Rodgers is really good. I mean, he's not trying to cope Freddie, he just does his own thing and he does it good together with the old Queen-members. Of course it would be better with Freddie thou <3
No this is definetly Prague I can tell because that's when Paul was having throat problems and if you listen here Paul sounds a lot rougher then what he does like for example on ROTC
he's only got 2 octives of range, most of his sing is lost in the instraments but not Freddy he rang like a bell.... I hate to say this but Geo Michaels would be a better choice than Paul...
Hes not technically their front man, hes more of a guest star, thats why its not just Queen. He has a unique style and doesnt try and copy freddie. Its a different experience to the old Queen
Queen made a REALLY Bad Decision on going with Paul as new frontman. That's only because Paul's voice and style is RESTRICTED and LIMITED to straight 70's Hard Rock. Freddie Mercury's voice was just so free-flowing with ALL styles and genres which allowed him to write these incredible melodies with his range. That was the beauty of Freddie's voice. Paul, when singing Queen songs like this one, sounds like the guy in a Bar-band cause his vocal range just doesn't cut it. Sorry Paul.....
you jerk! have u seen return of the champions he sang just as well as freddie i personally along with others would complain more if he just copied freddie
BINGO!!! yeh if they wnated to copy freddie they would have got a soundalike from a tribute act like judas priest did with Tim owens. Q+PR are a great act. ive seen em live in manchester and got the ROTC dvd and its brilliant. OF course the concert would have been miles better with freddie but its still great
remember its queen+paul rodgers not queen that means they use a other name, this means they are not queen they are a new band that performce the songs of the original queen it would have been bad if it wansnt queen + paul rodgers but queen, than i would kill roger taylor and brian may. and hes not a replacer for noticing hes just doing this as tribute.
Really, do you think that this Paul Rodgers is enought? he sings pretty cool, but, in Queen -under the shadow of the one F. Mercury- he's nothing. Don't lie. Queen dies with Mr. Mercury. That's all.

Paul Rodgers is my fav vocalist.....I've seen him solo, with the Firm twice and the Burnin Sky tour...and with Queen.
George Michaels sounded the best out of all the singers at Freddies tribute show.
