Agree! I hope That 1/2 Queen enjoy the Tour, and have a good time as they did in the old times, so I dont talk more about the prediction of the future without watch the concert or read the news..
I think its nice that Queen is still around without him. The death of Freddie probably made Queen bigger than they would have been today with him alive.
my opinion is that it's a good idea but I don't understand why Paul Rodgers. I would prefer see Queen without Paul because he doesn't belong Queen although Freddie is dead...
??
who do you want to do the lead vocals then? Bri and Roger? .. well .. they can sing in the studio, but not live. Accept it; they are not singers, they are a guitarist and drummer, who can do backing vocals and sing one song at a concert .. but Paul Rodgers is a real vocalist.
btw .. listen to Bad Company's 'How About That' ...and than imagine Paul singing Tie Your Mother Down, Headlong, Hammer to Fall and Fat Bottomed Girls ..
Not so deep as Freddie's voice, but Paul has also a great range and he has the same roughness in his voice in the hights, like Freddie had in the 80's!
So, for everyone who isn;t convinced about Paul fronting Queen; LISTEN TO 'HOW ABOUT THAT' :D
Paul can definitely sing! I'm also sure Brian will sing a couple of his tunes (Tie your mother down, No one but you, maybe Sleeping on the sidewalk) and Roger won't leave the house without singing Car and Gaga!
Umm... Hankster... Brian Howe is singing on HOW ABOUT THAT and not Paul Rodgers. For those who are interested... Rodgers sings on the first Bad Co album, BAD COMPANY (1974) STRAIGHT SHOOTER (1975) RUN WITH THE PACK (1976) BURNING SKY (1977) DESOLATION ANGELS (1979)and 1982's ROUGH DIAMONDS, which is in my opinion the weakest of the albums listed here. Bad Company also has a greatest hits (original line-up) called 10 FROM 6 and the BAD COMPANY ANTHOLOGY, which is also all material from the original line-up. MERCHANTS OF COOL and the DVD feature Rodgers on vocals with original drummer Simon Kirke and Jaz Lochre (hope I spelled that correctly?) who has performed in Paul's solo band and Dave Colwell on guitar, who played in later line-ups of Bad Company after Rodgers had originally left the group. Everything after 1986 is Bad Co without Paul Rodgers on vocals with the exception of Merchants Of Cool and the Bad Co Anthology.
I have an idea! Let Deaky do the vocals! LOL
Or, maybe they could talk Brian into learning that talking guitar trick. Who needs a vocalist then?
jk
I don't mind who sings, as long as Queen lives on, and as long as they do the music justice.
Peace out!
