Extreme & Justin Hawkins, Queen Medley @ the London Astoria 2008, Multi Camera

[Spooner22]

Whoah, this is cool!

[TheSleppers]

Extreme was the best at the tribute with George Michael! He's version of Hammer to Fall was fuckin awesome! From a HUGE Queen fan. R.I.P Freddie

[nordhorny]

what a crap singer

[dvikinglord1971]

HUGE QUEEN Fan, I get so Pissed when people cover and destroy them, this is the 1ST TIME I"M HAPPY ABOUT IT! THESE GUYS ROCKED IT OUT! BRAVO!!!!

[freddie46]

a piece of history. Thank you very much.

[LanceATL]

I love all the die-hard Queen fans on here that spell Freddie's name as "Freddy".

[jarojaro2285]

the voice of justin hawkins!!! oh my god!!!it is freddy mercury voice!!!

[laultrazona]

@jarojaro2285 ehm..

[grr619]

Who are the extra guitarists?

[LanceATL]

@grr619 Wha??There are no extra guitarists.

[francesko83]

Justin for Queen Singer!!!

[australia007queen]

justin must enter in the band but he must create some songs with Brian and Roger,not only cover,justin has inside Queen inspiration,Brian and Roger can help him to realize his ideas :)

Kiss from Melbourne

[QuinceyFoxx]

This is... absolutely beautiful

[superdemonguy1]

justin would of been the perfect frontman for Queen instead of paul rodgers

[prettyboy7xxx]

Again great version just like 1992. Justin has a very weak voice and he sings falsetto all the time. Gary's voice is still better. more clear and solid. I love this jam!

[Berus7777]

@prettyboy7xxx omg... you imbecile. Justin Hawkins can sing circles around Gary over and over again, on ANY song. Clearly you have problems understanding a thing called "pitch". Gary has never and will never phrase a line properly, nor does he have any rhythm. He drags EVERY damn lyric he sings! Justin, on the other hand... sheer perfection.

[LanceATL]

And that is EXACTLY why Brian May invited them to play the Tribute show and record with them, cause Gary is an awful singer. Right???

[chrismallyon]

i know its extreme's gig, but i wish cherone would of shut up long enough

so i could hear hawkins vocals.

[LanceATL]

@chrismallyon - I don't think Justin rehearsed with them. He probably just wanted to hang loose and have a good time.

[SpotlessBanana]

I would wanna hear Justin Hawkins do a recorded song by Queen. That would be awesome. :)

[antisadism]

Kick Paul rodgers out, get Justin Hawkins In.

[SigandGibbs]

@antisadism First off, Paul Rodgers is not in Queen. It's called a collaboration. Second, Paul Rodgers is a far more legendary and well known singer than Hawkins. Third, Queen aren't seeking to replace Freddie, that's why they chose someone tod o the songs in a new way and not just try to immitate.

[Berus7777]

@SigandGibbs Fourth: you're wrong: Brian May asked Adam Lambert to front Queen and he turned them down. Fifth: Paul Rodgers voice is very taxing after more than one or two songs - a LOT of people don't rate him. He has a few very adamant fans (like YOU) who make a lot of noise about his so-called greatness, but really... what has he done lately that was worth a damn? Nothing. And he sounded like shit on those Queen "collaborations"...he was a disgrace to Freddy, in fact. Justin is BETTER

[SigandGibbs]

@Berus7777 Actually, no. Brian May mused on collaborating with him, not hiring him onto Queen. At most it would have been him singing a few songs, like many artists, including Paul, have done over the years. Queen have never tried to replace Freddie.

Second, I'm not a Paul fan, I only heard him a few times before he toured with Queen. But the man is a famous singer, even Freddie loved him. They used him well in the songs they had him sing. He sounded like a great blues singer on record.

[Burqua12]

Whatever..."Queen" without any of the feeling, usually associated with Queen.

"Good karaoke", if I was in a good mood today.

Gerry Cherone misses the phrasing in "I want to break free", as usual (i.e. like he did on the F. M. tribute concert in Spring 1992).

I'm thinking about the phrase, around 00:23):

"you're so self-satisfied, I don't need you".

Freddie Mercury sings that phrase:

"I want to break | free from your life, you're so | self-sa' tiiis-fied, I don't | need you".

[LanceATL]

@Burqua12 - Are you serious?? Gary sings his own style. It's not a Freddie imitation contest. Hell, Freddie changed his phrasing live constantly.

[MultiPhil2009]

that's for gay

[Herohector]

This is just a mess of medley, the singing is not very balanced. No one shines.

[julieannlevine]

@Herohector What? no one shines? off with you head!

[demento81]

Gary's so camp!! (and that's meant as a compliment!!). But Justn, ohh, no thanks!!! yucky poo's!! but he does play the faded star par excellence.

[eduardouk]

i just cant believe justin is singing with extreme.. didnt even know they had heard of him.. doesnt sound too bad but sad to here xtreme still doing the bit they did at freddie mercury tribute concert.. was much better then when i went to see it... seems to have lost some of the magic it once had.. will be good to see what extreme do next (as in another album perhaps?)

[lovemetalangel]

Justin always sing falsetto...kinda his gimmick really lol

[sk8borntodie]

I really want to see justin hawkins playing bohemian rhapsody

[steveshieldschicago]

This is SUPER cool. Justin makes it the sheeit!

[fedjudas]

Justin man!!

[AvenueQster]

Well I'd say you are right. You do IN FACT have health problems concerning your ears.

[davidabailey]

Get them lug holes sorted.Soon.

[steveshieldschicago]

what in the FUCK are you talking about? The only thing you're right about is the ear issue.

[TyHayward]

I think that's the crowd you can hear in the background ;o)

[stonerh]

I love how wrong you are, and even though you didn't intend it to, your comment actually proves how good a performance was... that you thought you could hear the originals haha

[rockernt]

Justin ROck!!

[ronotron]

wow. unless he's singing falsetto justin has an incredible weak voice!

[beavmt10]

Take my old babies and give me new ones. Yours.

[KEITHYBOY2007]

This is one hell of a cover. Saw These Guys At Newport on the tour. They were awesome. Just like they were back in the day. Met them after the show and they were great to talk to. Spoke for about an hour. Cant wait for the next tour.

[justinhawkinsrocks]

Justin has him in peices here!

[onafridaynight]

You wonder what happened to Justin?

He's formed another band called ' Hot Leg'.

[gabrihapa]

Very good!!!

I wish I was there also....

Hope they come to Brazil...

[qfad]

[dashielove]

[irnjaw]

Can't you edit Justin Hawkins out of this?? Fuck sake

[yoyoyoson]

what is the problem with Justin, you must not know shit about vocals if you cant see what he added to that performance, not to mention his vocal range

[llemirtrauts]

Wow this is great.Much better than my crappy back row footage! Brilliant.

[iwantagoodnameplease]

sweet

[charmingasalways]

I love this. Gary Cherone is an amazing singer.

[rsspike]

he's not bad, but young Justin has him far surpassed.

Good luck w/Hot Leg, dude!

[zstardust838]

disagree

[stonerh]

Yeah I disagree too. Especially on this video :/

Don't get me wrong though, Justin has one hell of a voice, I just like Cherones more :D

[fayet16]

Thanks again for this ... gave me goosebumps when you first showed it to me :-)

[TOBLERONETWO]

No, thank you, your footage is fantastic. To think this performance could have been only a memory.

[laultrazona]

[sezzles]
