Queen + Paul Rodgers - Bohemian Rhapsody (Live at Hyde Park)

[biodegradacja]

5.22 Veeeeeeery cute :>

[fekko2]

I love Paul Rogers. A classic rock and roll voice. I also love the idea of him interpreting Queen in the absence of Freddie. Two rock Gods really. And while theses versions are very well performed and interesting also, I miss Freddie and there is not a fan in that stadium that isn't thinking of how he would finish that song. Paul is a pro and an All Star. Freddie is a hall of famer and is not replaceable. Paul has huge cha-hoona's for trying. And he's a force in his own right.

[xAlonex01]

Use condom. Maybe here's someone with a great talent.

[WASPS1867]

Will always be ALWAYS, the GREATEST rock song EVER written..

[offfaceoff]

tour with a hologram of freddy and the tour would sell out.

[BaruSh2104]

nice,but nobody can't imitates voice of Freddie Mercury <3 he's best:3

[gdsc4]

they could've chosen a better shape freddie!

[Chok2210]

4ever 'n' ever in my <3 Freddie- EPICK!!!!

[Paul8820]

I'm happy that Brian and Roger are still out there, or else we'd be stuck listening to nothing but Lady gaga and Justin Bieber. You all should be grateful and appreciative that they still rock.

[bibijirantepoposu]

やっぱりこの曲は、フレディじゃないと・・・。ポールロジャース­がすごい人だとはわかってるけど、私的にはやっぱQUEENの曲­なのよね。

[HEiNRiCHmp5]

4:37 :$

[emet79]

this is the way they should have done it at the Freddie Mercury tribute instead of having Elton john sing it...

[Paul8820]

@emet79 I thought Elton John did amazing. It was Axl Rose who ruined it.

[raphaswim]

@Paul8820 I don´t thik so, could you find anyone else with Axl voice? I don´t think so

[JanBloem]

@emet79 I that's why Queen does it likes this now.

[Elthenar]

Paul Rogers ain't Freddie, but they aren't trying to pass him off as such. They just want to play their music, more power to em.

[A7Xmike21]

This show was really beutyful, but also sad. Nobody can campare with Freddie as a singer. And its just feel so wrong without Deacon on the bass. No Queen without Freddie. No Queen without Deacon. No Queen without May. No Queen without Taylor.

[TheAlysheba]

Why is this necessary? Since Freddie can no longer perform this song with his beautiful voice and unique stage presence, maybe this piece of music shouldn't be performed. It's like a shadow on a cloudy day...

[iloverugby95]

Freddie *__* R.I.P

[elleelle111]

wow this is beautiful it must have been hard on the band members too.but this a very nice video

[ColeRocks1997]

I dont think so mister know it all

[josemarinho1]

Freddy forever, simply the best

[tombh7]

I won tickets to this gig, what an amazing day it was!

[MsMoonlightAnime]

And don't get me wrong, IM OBSESSED WITH QUEEN! <3

[MsMoonlightAnime]

I see why 71 people disliked this video. My favorite song but it's just not the same without Freddie actually being there and not on a big screen.

[guitarmenable]

WTF chuck norris at 3:49 ???

[sebasayago]

70 persons don't understand that isnt queen, is queen+paul rodgers

[paddy9i99]

Paul Rodgers is an arrogant piece of shit.

Nothing else to say.

[RisteMakedonski]

@paddy9i99 What did he do to make you say that about him? That seems pretty harsh.

[rojocaposalamanca]

the best song ever, perfect

[killerqueen501]

Just realised that the explosion after the opera bit is missing (pretty obvious as the london bombings were the week before).I can see why, but that last rock part needs that explosion to really give it fuel i think.

Suppose they didn't want to scare the shit out of the first 2 rows!?

[KirKir21]

I love how they keep Freddie's memory alive in their live performances, Paul acknowledging that he in no ways intends to replace him and that nobody can step into Freddie's shoes. It's all really respectful.

[vermilionx]

mamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



[MgoMuse]

It would have been sweet to have Freddie jump out at 3:16 instead of Paul. RIP Freddie.

[Emendil]

The thing is that Freddie sang the way he did. And now the rest of the band plays that to please themselves and the public. Hell !! I would like to go to a concert of anyone and sing with everybody Bohemian Rhapsody !!! And that is just Freddie´s fault.

Thanks queen for giving us more concerts even with freddie Dead ! Thanks !

[Chicken1397]

where is john deacon?

[leandar]

@Chicken1397 John Deacon pretty much retired from Queen and music after the death of Freddie, only playing with Queen for the Freddie Mercury Tribute, a one shot with Elton John playing "The Show Must Go On," and then recording "No One But You," both in 1997. From what I understand, he knew that Brian and Roger wanted to tour with Paul Rodgers and was cool with it.

[MrRayge82]

Paul Rodgers was such a perfect fit to this band. I am a huge Queen fan and was not upset at him coming in and singing. He isnt Freddie and isnt trying to replace him. He did such a wonderful and respectful job. Shame they moved on. Hopefully they will do something together soon

[JanBloem]

@MrRayge82 You're right! Paul Rodgers isn't Freddy, but he's undoubtedly one of the, if not the, best rock voices on this planet.

[valeriemci1]

A message to vikes49..Thank you! I am proud to say I am one of the idiots. Who would you replace Mick Jagger with? Who would you have replaced John Lennon with IF the Beatles were together? Without Freddie, there is NO Queen. So when will Paul Rodgers dress in leotards? He is already in white undershirt and pants, doing a bit of Freddie's moves and how soon will he be sporting a moustache, sunglasses etc. Replace Freddie? IT cannot be done!

[markobenzon]

@valeriemci1 First of all, my english is pretty bad so i'll try to be very short. Paul Rodgers is a big name in this "job" also. He established himself as a great vocalist and frontman of legendary groups called Free and Bad Company. You might 've heard of songs named All Right Now, Can't Get Enough, Feel Like Makin' Love etc. Paul Rodgers is also one of the greatest vocalist, selected by Brian May and Roger Taylor to fill up the band as vocalist and he is doing great job as Paul and not Freddie

[valeriemci1]

A message to vikes49..Thank you! I am proud to say I am one of the idiots. Who would you replace Mick Jagger with? Who would you have replaced John Lennon with IF the Beatles were together? Without Freddie, there is NO Queen.

[sungodrah]

ohh paul rodgers ,what a class act.they composed a great live song here,mixing freddy in.....how about queen huh, having not one but two of rock's great vocally powerful frontman in the same group! damn!!!!

[StewieFavre]

Freddie never gets older within this framework, while band ages on. Cool.

[Paul8820]

Queen is the greatest rock and roll band to ever exist on Earth. Freddie Mercury is thye greatest rock and roll front man to ever exist. End of Story.

[manalishi1980]

This was a much better gig than Sheffield which was released on DVD. They played so much better. Stage was bigger, audience was bigger.

[ptracerfastlane]

@manalishi1980 Totally agree, I was there near the front and this concert was way better than Sheffield.

[chimpiki]

I love Brian's expression of almost sheer astonishment at how well his riff went at 2:00. Lol, he usually messes up a bit, but makes it work the way all great live performers do such things.

[lukeluca90]

come cazzo fai a sostituire freddie!!!!!!!????? io mi vergognerei a salire sul palco!

[dejamedios]

we miss you freddie

[tjd92295]

Freddie singing at least 2/3 of the song isn't enough for you?

[TumblingDice1972]

wheres paul????

[angeloblu56]

Massive song...awesome vocals....!!!

[bertfrantic]

I agree with the comment that this was the best tour of the 2000's. I saw the last QPR and they blew the blooming roof off. PR's voice is different to Freddie's, but IMHO there is no one living who is better. Real shame QPR are no more.

[EMO9398]

where is the waynes world version ? its more rock not this sad :( ! and everytime i search it it shows the same song -.-

[fras888]

watchn save me song on you tube live in argintina. his mic cut out and he used John deacons. proves that john deacons mic works also to shows that its turned down but still clearly audible

[Dante95devil]

i'm sorry for paul, but i think freddie is better than him... Freddie is a legend...

sorry for my english, i'm italian

[GOODY61]

@Dante95devil Paul Rodgers is also a legend. The best blues-rock singer to ever come out of the UK and yes that means he is better vocally than Freddie.

[tannertehpianist]

awesome, as always...but wtf is up with brian's shirt??

[phenylket]

if you had been there you would have to agree it the best tour of the 2000s

[Paul8820]

Bohemian Rhapsody is Freddie's song. For Paul to step aside, shows a lot of respect.

[NurseWeber25]

Get rid of Rodgers, let the fans sing all the songs while roger and brian play :D

[daward2]

@NurseWeber25 Bring back Deacon!

[GOODY61]

@NurseWeber25 Rodgers > Mercury. Fact

[Arthur5041975]

Ugh Paul, please put down the mic stand. You're not Freddie. Go away.

[GOODY61]

@Arthur5041975 PR is better than Freddie, one day you'll understand. 

[Arthur5041975]

Paul Rodgers should be nowhere near the "Queen" name, or this song.

[Gregsynth]

No Freddie = No Queen

[GOODY61]

@Arthur5041975 That's right, it tarnished his reputation. LOl

[azvideoguy]

I ll always miss Freddie, but Queen still rocks! Did people want them to lay down and die? This keeps three of my favorite groups alive, Queen, Free, and Bad Company. Still one of the best rock songs ever!

[Holter62113]

beautiful and so sad, queen forever,

freddie RIP

and paul rodger keep on rockin

queen ... this moment is a great tribute to freddie

he miss us so much

[WyldOats]

I like, grindcore, new wave, noise core, drum and bass, all kinds of stuff, Queen were one of the greatest rock bands the UK ever produced. But you know what? Paul Rodgers is the fucking man! He sang fire and water at 21. listen to that album of an immature voice and tell me other wise!

[13Psycho13]

''He has got to go...'' *Sniff*

R.I.P Freddie!!

[robertosnv]

questa non dovrebbe cantarla

[marcoberto92]

@robertosnv guarda che qui la canta bene! sono altre le canzoni che non dovrebbe cantare... anche a me non piace Paul Rodgers ma qui se la cava benissimo! raggiunge anche la famosa nota alta che il grande freddie non ha quasi mai raggiunto... cosa vuoi di più?? è ovvio che nn sarà mai freddie, ma direi di accontentarci...

[paddy9i99]

Paul Rodgers is a first class cunt.

Not even close in calibre to Freddie Mercury PERIOD.

[vikes49]

any one who thinks Paul is trying to "replace" Freddy is a complete idiot!!! Queen wants to play....... what is wrong with that? Would it make all the na sayers happy if they tour with no lead singer. grow the f%@k up. I am glad to hear it again..

[2009paulanderson]

Thank you, at last someone has some sense, all those who knock Paul Rodgers should have a listen to some Free or Bad Company albums and see what a brilliant singer he is. That is why Brian May describes him as he's mentor.

[21giggles]

@vikes49 ta be honest i dont think queen fans whould except any body not just paul!!!but i think he does a great job!not as good as freddie as there his songs an he was one of a kind!!!

[cracow]

@vikes49 I liked your comment but please learn how to spell his name correctly will you? its Freddie not Freddy my dear retard lol

[shane69999]

@vikes49

it is time to call chuck norris into this matter..... honestly people we all have to ask what would chuck norris do in this situation.......... please everybody... enough

[ROCK7455]

@vikes49 you're right my friend........the show must go on !!!!........I´m agree with you :D

[skhaynes]

I love Paul Rodgers, but come on! NO ONE CAN TAKE FREDDIE'S PLACE!!! This is a joke.

[rockstar122609]

Of course nobody can take his place, but be glad Queen didn't just give up and quit. At least they found another singer who can do pretty damn good.

[AWOwns]

He was never meant to be a replacement for Freddie. That's why it was "Queen + Paul Rodgers."

[mavthetachoman]

The point is, the music is still alive, and being played live, like Queen always wanted it to be.

[vivayo333]

queen is not queen without Freddie and Jonh

[paddy9i99]

Paul Rodgers what a sad cunt

[ianvtube]

@paddy9i99

I think that you are the sad c***

If you cannot appreciate Paul Rodgers as one of the greatest rock and roll singers this country has produced then I am afraid that the only conclusion one can make about you is that you are the sad one.

[Sidlivesforever]

What is the point of this? I love Paul's voice it is one of the pure voices of rock. This is shit tho. Some thing are better left alone.

[ashtreee]

"nothing really matters to me " don't bark the part....

anyway the wind stopped....

[52381a]

The guys look a bit more masculine with Paul Rodgers on board, no?

[angeldevilleadguitar]

2:33 ♥♥♥

[Paul8820]

I wolud love to perform onstage with Queen.

[mrstwistshout]

Without Freddie there is no Queen

he doesn't evne sing the difficult parts...

they shouldn't be doing this

nobody can ever replace Freddie

[cspace1234nz]

Well I guess if Freddie hadn't been taking it up the brown quite so much he might have still been here.

[sibinala]

no offense to paul R but I think george michael would have done much better, sounds silly but you all know it's true.I was at the show and it was kick ass but something was missing.

[wales1235]

Paul Rodgers is a rock legend!! what a great singer!!!

[G35TAR]

why is Queen doing this, what a fucking disgrace to Murcury, Paul Rodgers go away. If freddie isnt on the band then theres NO band. he was the band.

[Paul8820]

First of all Paul Rodgers has a long Rock Reputation of his own. Remember Bad Company and Free. It's not like Queen found another singer on the street. I miss Freddie too! but Rodgers can do it.

[oOElishOo]

MainManAus.. you meen at Galileo figaro? it descents Aka kindameens from Goodside of the Universe Figure out (then) if the darkside has a evil sceem up his sleef after i descent to hell

[VICMANATOR]

EXCELENTE ! DE LO MEJOR.

[cavedweller1996]

damn

sound just like freddie

[or756]

seeing freddy on the screen makes me cry =/

he is unreplaceable !

[MainManAus]

It lost me at 3:20

[Saieno86]

Gary Mullen would be better on that stage.

[zxingzxing]

I'm feeling mixed emotions of Joy and Sadness both at the same time how strange is that ! Neville Bardoli

[betteroffdead66663]

I'm sorry, but when it comes to live performances and great songs, NONE of today's bands can touch the classics !! Spectacular !!

[kojam]

Here Here!!!

It's like music dies with them ...

We're being punished by God for making ppl like B.Spears, Madonna, etc into mega stars when they don't deserve to be.

There is a SERIOUS drought of talented musicians in the lime light! We're in the most serious circumstance now; HISTORICAL MUSIC IS DYING OFF and BECOMING EXTINCT because of all this 'non-stick wallpaper music'!

[BlinkBeer]

Brian May is so under rated...im sure freddie is looking down from above and happy the music lives on. Plus if your gonna get a new lead singer paul isnt too bad ha...."Feel like Making Love"- bad company

[kojam]

"Brian May is so under rated..."

Truer words have NEVER been spoken!

This man can say more with one vibrato note than all of those shredders using their 10 fingers and 10 toes to burn up the fretboard! I'm a HUGE shred fan BUT none have left me thinking, "Damn! That one note was soooo sweet! I gotta hear that one note again!"

[karlobac]

muy bueno

[chrisbus420]

1:38 sick ass i wounder how he came up with that

[chrisbus420]

go brian may you rock #1 guitarist

[brayrrero]

i mizz you fred

[spamhead2k]

4.02 DOUBLE PEDAL!!!!

[notgeoffrey]

Sorry Paul, but no man can ever fill Freddie's boots. Nice try, but not even close.

[craneo2099]

Paul has his own style and he doesn't try to imatate freddie, paul has a wonderful voice and put his own style on this songs he's the one who can sing this songs with another style and still sound fuckin' awesome

[notgeoffrey]

I agree that he has a good voice and I'm not suggesting that he is a Freddie imitator. What I am trying to say is that for me it is just not there without Freddie. Something of the magic has gone and can never be replaced.

[plotchickens]

i think you mean moon boots

freddie is a space man

[plotchickens]

*space man first class

[mrface19]

I prefer the way he sings the ending to this... that note he hits is spine tingling.

[petersintebin]

Paul is good, but he's got nothing on Gary Mullen..

[kalen486]

is that danny bonaduce

[TheBloodySabbath]

Paul is better than Freddie.

[abacafrehley]

Freddie was a genious. I think Paul isn't better than Freddie but Paul is very very very good.

[mrmc729]

paul is the man kids

[valterlanpes2009]

Rock And Roll Is Life !

Life Long !

[aenima138]

Dude, I love Rodgers to death, but Jesus he looks like Danny Bonaduce. Not good..

[lizzyvolpe]

Oh my G-D that was awsome! What a way to perform the song and let Freddy still be part of it all. What a great way to let Paul be part of the old songs and keep the fans who arn't sure happy.

[bugclinic]

paul rogers is awsome.... i am a bad company fan not so much a queen fan but paul is great in either case.....

[sniperanderson]

Queen Forever I Love You !

By: Brazil

[FFPianoDude]

Who is the pianist in the beginning?

[FFPianoDude]

Lol, I could've sworn he was actually there way on the left. -.-

[MASTERLINXJR]

freddie

[Rafael840]

The pianist is Spike Edney, the same guy who plays the guitar during Hammer To Fall and piano during Tutti Frutti on Live At Wembley'86

[Rafael840]

But on screen you see Freddie Mercury.

[itaybm2]

Wasn't that Freddie from Wembley playing the piano part?

[fyerg]

what 'Poul groped rogers wants to look like Freddie petetico and inimitable Freddie !!!!!

[tannertehpianist]

my god, he sang with such soul, with such emotion...i really wish i was born in time to see freddie

[bobbyland34]

:'(

it makes me cry....

:'(

miss you!!!!

[doehart]

It is pathetic, in my opinion, for this person to try to replace Freddie....... Sooooo sorry, you don't cut it, Chuckie Norris, look alike. And your performance was soooooooooooooo flat and sharp and pitchy beyond belief.

Sorry your soul had to hear this Freddie... Cover your ears, darling Freddie. I love you so very much and miss you incredibly.

[beastguitaist]

wow ur a stuborn biatch freddie loved paul rogers and thought if anyone was to replace it would be him so go suck a dick and shut up

[Kaiseto]

Are you kidding? Compared to Elton John and Axl Rose at the benefit concert Paul Rodgers is coming extremely close to Freddie's performance.

Also, this is live.

[DanHamelin]

Seriously biased.

Like seriously he did amazing fuck you kid

[InvisibleMasquerade]

paul rogers looks like chuck noris

[Trampsiful]

This was AMAZING, I didn't think after Freddie died Queen could ever be this good again!

[RandyWayneFricke]

Pure class! We all loved Freddie. May he rest in piece.

[sandileone]

even robert plant rated paul rogers as the best

[sandileone]

paul rogers sings from his soul....maybe that's why tickets were higher when he sang for queen....hmmmmmmm....do the math people...there is good, and there is the best

[XXSandXFireXX]

omg! it's sad that you mistake freddie for paul! you is stupidb that is freddie!!!

[impala666]

Clever...the Kobayashi Maru of Rock.

[antoiniasyrene]

adam would at least to the song justice and breathe some new life............probably bring in a whole new generation as well....he might not be freddie - but there is nobody like Adam either

[Trampsiful]

Shut up, omg the guy loses American Idol and suddenly he's the greatest singer of our generation.

He definitely can't be compared to Freddie Mercury and I would just die if Queen used him as the new lead singer.

[NooziRolies13]

yes, PR is a really good singer, but, freddie is the best, is the one...nobody can win him

[fusuck2hard]

no he dont sound like freddie at all

[fusuck2hard]

that is freddie!!!

[giando91]

Unlucky....no!

Please god give us another Freddie!

[sheldonbrien85]

bravo!

[GoingCamando20]

that sounds and awful

lot like freddy

[valterlanpes2009]

Musica Legal !

Vida Longa Aos Reis !

[imJoshe]

would be cooler if john joined in...instead of vanishing off the planet

[chrisslooter]

Geez, we all know Freddie passed away, and nobody can be him. What else would Queen do? Go away or keep on rocking. Paul is not replacing Freddie, they are just having fun and paying tribute to Freddie. Leave Paul alone, would you rather they disappear forever? They won't - so get used to it and have fun with it. They are having fun. Flying Spaghetti Monster bless them.

[TIMMA177]

Well what do you expect, it's a cover, nobody can sound like Freddie.

Paul Rodgers did not ruin it, he just did a version of it, and that's not ruining a song. You should at least respect Paul as a good singer.

[braadyguitarmaster]

lol at the first i was like OH MY GOD paul sounds just like freddie live, then i was like "oh......"

[BryanRiel]

still not as good as frddie. to me.
