Saw PR in Hyde Park with Queen a while ago. I texted 'good luck to Paul and his new backing band' needless to say I was not chosen to join the other's in the privilage pen at the front of the stage. He has a great voice, unlike so many of his generation, he can still do it live.
It would be realy nice to view a utube video that features Paul Rodgers without having to read through all the woffle posted by Queen fans comparing him with Freddie Mercury. YOU may wish he hadn't sung with Queen and we Rodgers appreciaters wished he hadn't either if only so we wouldn't have to listen to your incessant whinging about it. Music isn't a competition guys. I know I should just ignore it but I'm a compulsive reader :)
you are not serious??? overrated? i dont think so, they were a "one off" , freddie was uncomparable with anyone before or since and the style of music was and still is loved all over the world. overrated in my opinion is someone like, lets say madonna, who CANNOT sing live, this always seperates the truly talented from the wannabees
That's an amazingly foolish statement. "Queen were an overrated band" - well opinions aside, I think that's in the realm of "factually incorrect". Apart from any subjective opinion about the quality of their music - which is a completely separate matter - how do you reconcile the millions of albums sold, the sell-out stadium concerts and the revered status its (surviving) members with "overrated"??
lets hope queen dont EVEN try to play this song at any of their concerts ft rodgers,this song and a little bit of love have always been my fave songs by free
damn kid,you're 13 and you seen Paul Rodgers,I envy you.I never have seen him,You should count your blessings and be grateful.I seen Bad Company with that guy they call a replacement singer.Paul Rodgers is irreplaceplable.Classic song,by the way.Excellent solo by the best guitarist in the world,Paul Kossoff,
Fred Lukens in Croydon,Pa.(OutlawWolf35 on aol- loooking for band members I need guitarists)
not all kids hate old music. fair dos, most of them do, but i'm 13 years old and free and deep purple are my two undisputed favorite bands. it's quite alienating, actually.
i even uploaded some videos of me playing drums to some free tracks (fire and water) but i packed it in and gave up on my old account, for some reason. i just use 'kldsjh' to post comments.
Sir Isaac Newton could not rock like that no matter what. Paul Rodgers/Free/Bad Company what bands what a guy and what a voice!! He must have done a deal with the devil becasue he just gets better.
Sir Isaac Newton a very clever but very unpleasant individual by all accounts ! Still - his discoveries prove the world trade centre did not fall down due to the planes that landed in them !
Whoah! I must have struck a nerve with Yeehaaaaaaaa (the guy who sounds like a cockney caricature from a Monty Python cartoon). Could it be that he is in the midst of his own mid-life crisis?
methinks all you guys that are knocking paul are just jealous cos all the women are crazy about him, and at 58 too!!! he must be doing something right hon.
yes queen need old rodgers material as their new single BOMBED lets face it they peaked with seven sea's of rhye and my head doesn't need a wobble thank you very much,its a fact queen should have disbanded when mercury passed away.
C-lebrity bombed because they didnt promote it well enough. However the first single, Say It Aint True, had a massive 100,000 downloads in the first 2 days of its release.We Believe, another single from the latest CD, is riding very high in some countries charts. So please research your facts before you spew your bile.
As for the charts themselves, they have been hit by the amount of illegal downloading going on in certain sites. CD sales for any band arent as good as they once were.
What do you mean "dont ever change"???????????????????
Are you serious? The real Paul Rodgers has been abducted and at present there is an alien strutting around masquerading as him..He WAS a GOD but now he's a fraud!!!!!!!!!!
Sir Isaac Newton a very clever but very unpleasant individual by all accounts ! Still - his discoveries prove the world trade centre did not fall down due to the planes that landed in them !
Free is THE most underrated band of all time - how they are not revered for the rock Gods that they are is a testament to the fact that people are dumbasses
They ARE revered, by the ones who matter and are 'in the know' with thier music,-US. The dumbass's just think its 'old hat' and don't realise Free made the mould for what they have now. Time will tell.
The young never appreciate what went before....that is the nature of being young. It's pointless to be upset about it. You were the same yourself once.
Who's upset ? I was a late vocation music/studio student at 47 and every kid came to ask me what to listen to, and what it was like as rock was born as they are starved of original quality. We are in the rock era and the comparison when I was young from my Dad was Perry Como. My son comes to Stones gigs from 10 yrs old and I did not force him. He was curious.
the greatest english blues/rock singer ever, he had tons of sobs,and still does it today
