I have read some of the comments about the gigs and it seems that some of you didn't give the man a chance. Paul Rodgers is a rock legend. Free were one the very best bands of the 70's and he is acknowledged as being one the the truly great rock singers of all time. Rod Stewart himself said that Paul was his favourite singer. I have saw Queen when they first started out and they were awesome then. Freddie is a legend and will never be replaced, but if you wanted someone to front the band then you might as well go with the best available. An oldie like does tend to treat the true giants of rock with some reverence and Paul is up there with them. Roll on Saturday when I will see the band at Cardiff. |

He was brillint. Some of the songs I actually enjoy more than with Freddie (AKOM for instance...) *waiting for the stones* I also think this is a better tour than Works or magic... *more stiones, i'm sure* I don't care what it's called- I'm part of it, as a sucker who travells to many gigs. About Works I can only read, maybe listen to few bootlkegs at home... I can however sing wirh Roger Im In Love With My Car or with Paul- Fat Bottomed Girls... I was always supporting this tour. After seeing two gigs- I KNOW it's brillint. And what others think? Why would I give a f***? |

Calm down it is only a commercial. All the people mentioned are indeed rock legends and Paul is amongst them. You only have to see from the countless rock complilations that All Right Now is always included. I would also ask peeps to listen to Fire and Water album and Free Live to see what a true great he is. I do accept that we are talking about something released 30 odd years ago, but he is still worthy of a bit of consideration. |
| Tero 05.05.2005 12:44 |
I don't care how much of a legend he is, but here's what I have to say... I didn't have any expectations about him, but he was absolutely fantastic performing, especially his own songs. In my opinion (a Queen fan for almost fifteen years) he stole the show from Brian & Roger. Sorry guys! |
| bohemian 11513 05.05.2005 18:01 |
...well, I wouldn´t say that he "stole the show", but he sure did a hell of a job... and he did it "his way"! I really loved it.... thank you Paul Rodgers!!!! But, by the way, does anyone of you know, why he wasn´t invited to participate at the Tribute Concert in 1992? Seems strange to me, as I read that Freddie was such a great admirer, fan of his work and voice? ;-) |

Freddie had more talent and class in one foot than Paul Rodgers has in his whole body! Legends live on and cannot be replaced.

I must say after going to the Manchester gig I am now Paul Rodgers fan! I cant imagine anyone else singing with Queen and pulling it off like he did. I'm off to HMV tomorrow to buy a couple of Free/Bad Company albums. QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS ROCK ON!! |
| Knute 06.05.2005 01:16 |
Sharon G. Now you're starting to assasinate Paul's character and say he has no class? What did he ever do to you? Why don't you direct your blind anger towards Brian for playing that Fender guitar gig. That's where he first jammed with Paul and got the idea in his head for a collaboration. You are such a pathetic small-minded, immature, and classless person. If you are anything like your screen persona I bet Freddie would've had nothing to do with you. Freddie wrote a song about people like you. It's called Death on Two Legs. Listen carefully to the lyrics of that song and then think about the negative trash you spread around here. Ask yourself if Freddie would really approve of the way you act. |

BPP and Sharon G speaks so same, I almost think, they are one person :-) BTW, are you two 60 or more years old ? (you seem to be soooo narrow minded). And now to the point of this thread. I don't think it's even necessary to defend Paul in any way. He's been doing such great job during this whole Queen+PR tour and he really proved, he could fill the gap after Freddie in solid way (now, only if they'd make some new record, then I'll be satisfied). So why to defend? Being old enough, but I never saw Queen live (that iron curtain :-(( But listening to bootlegs and official gigs with Freddie could give a good imagination, what it was. Yes, Freddie was great, but this tour is comparable to those, Queen did in 80's IMO. Agree with Fenderek. Libor PS. BPP ment probably Roger Daltrey from Who with that Daltery, Fenderek (I know you knew it, but this is for BPP, as he is really in doubt, who Daltery is :-> |
| The King Of Rhye 06.05.2005 03:43 |
Paul is NOT replacing Freddie, thats why they call it Queen + Paul Rodgers......I think of it (as I am sure they intend me to) as a new band.....Freddie was the lead singer for Queen.......Paul Rodgers is (one of) the lead singer(s) for Queen + Paul Rodgers........and there you go.... |
| englishyob 06.05.2005 05:38 |
Paul Rogers is a league in his own right, no matter if he's with Queen, Free, Bad Campany, The Firm or as a solo singer. He will never replace Freddie and he was never bought in to replace Freddie he was the missing link to get Queen on tour again it would of been great to have John up there on stage as well but he's retired from the music business now and we all have to respect his decision. I hope the Queen/Paul Rogers collaboration go's on for may more years. I have total respect for Paul Rogers to get up on stage and work with such rock leagues like Brian and Roger. I've said it before i'll say it again just in case. Bryans Permed Poodle are you still crying about this new QUEEN and PAUL ROGERS tour well boohoo to you get lost looser and get a life. |
| dg22 06.05.2005 07:10 |
" Boohoo - get a life " "pathetic small-minded, immature, and classless person" (By the way Kunte, I copied and pasted that !) Is that really the best arguments you can come back with? Its pathetic! The simple fact is is PR is a decent blues/rock singer with a average rock career. His record sales have not surpassed any of those true legends on BPP's list. If he was a legend and everyone's favourite rock singer - why wasn't he at the 92 concert? Just because All Right Now is on lots of 70's compilations doesn't make him a legend. Joe Dolce's Shaddap You Face is on most 80's compilations but he's no legend. Kunte - your mindless attack on Sharon G is just pitiable. If anything I'm sure Freddie wouldn't have approved of delirious bigoted morons who can't have a sensible discussion about likes and dislikes without resorting to pathetic whining! |

The only one argument which counts is, if he is a good singer. And - he is! 1.) Look in every rock encyclopedia and you'll find there Free, Bad Company and probably even The Firm (in which PR played among others with Jimmi Page - see BPP list). Speaking about average rock career is strange - wait, no, it's nonsense. It is of no account, if you don't know PR (or his bands), that he (they) are mediocre or unknown. 2.) There wasn't such big crowd of well known musicians on 92 concert, that this page isn't enough to name them all. It's hard to say, why this or that great musician wasn't there. Maybe they wasn't invited, maybe they had their commitments and some of them probably don't like Queen music too much (apparently this isn´t Paul case). 3.) I looked one more time back on BPP and Sharon posts. Tell me, please, how good are their arguments (if you chid Knute). There are none arguments in their posts. And don´t tell me anything about that list BPP made. I myself have a lot of different musicians I like more than half of that. These opinions are always very subjective. Libor |
| Beobrand 06.05.2005 08:57 |
DG22, is the mispelling of "Knute" the best you can do to insult him? BTW, wasn't All Right Now the first song ever to get a million radio airplays in both the UK and the US? Whether he is classed as a legend or not is beside the point! The fact is, he is fantastic now, on this tour, with Queen. That is all that is important. |
| Sharon G. 06.05.2005 11:01 |
To Knute: I have seen Paul Rodgers in Free and Bad Co. He is OK,But is no where near Freddie's voice or talent. But then, no one is. I guess what gets my nose out of joint on this is the media stating that Paul R is now replacing Freddie. I know thats not true, but the bigger the lie, the more people that will believe it. As for the Strat concert, my husband and I own 2 music stores and have several pictures up of this concert. Fender is one of the lines we carry. The 50 anniversay strat is gorgeous, we ordered one of the Custom Shop ones for our own collection. Freddie also played a Fender, A Fender tele in Crazy Little Thing........ So the last time I looked, you were entitled to your opinion, and so am I. Freddie 1991 We love you and miss you! |

| Knute 06.05.2005 14:00 |
To Sharon G Do you know what's amazing. Me and you fundementally believe the exact same thing. Namely that Freddie (not Freddie, dg22) can never be replaced. If I thought for one second that 55 year old Paul Rodgers was going to join Queen and do everything he can to wipe the memory of Freddie, I would join you and BPP in your crusade to publicly slam PR. I've been following what little media there is about Q+PR and I can't find one instance where they are trying to suggest that Paul is better than Freddie. |
| Knute 06.05.2005 14:18 |
To dk22
Aww how cute, you've switched my name around. Very clever.
The simple fact is is PR is a decent blues/rock singer with a average rock career. His record sales have not surpassed any of those true legends on BPP's list.The simple fact is PR is the reason you got to see Brian and Roger on stage together in the first place. Can you get that thru your thick Neaderthal skull and somehow fit it into your pea-sized brain? No? Oh I see...you're the kind of guy that not only looks a gift horse in the mouth, you also like to make a fist and punch the poor animal right between it's eyes. And are you that shallow as to use record sales as a way to gauge greatness? If that were the case then PR would deserve at least for you not to slam him for his 125 million sold. That would also make Thriller and The Eagles Greatest Hits much better records than ANATO. Which we both know isn't true...or at least I think you recognize that. It's hard to tell with your apparent inability to know something good when it comes along. Like the chance to see your heroes on stage for the first time in your life(Thanks to PR) Now piss off and don't stalk me anymore. It makes you look like an aggressive asshole. |

Speaking about his "mediocre" career I think that paul rodgers has sold about 125 million albums up until now. Queen has sold about 130 millions. |
| Scott_Mercury 06.05.2005 16:54 |
One more time... Paul Rodgers is not replacing Freddie. Paul Rodgers is not Queen's singer. Paul Rodgers is simply filling in because the wonderful Mr. Mercury is no longer with us. As Paul Rodgers told VH1's Rachael Perry in a interview on 4-2-05: "As for the comparisons between me an Freddie, I find that flattering, because I have a great deal of respect for the man, but when it comes down to brass tacks, I am not replacing Freddie Mercury, nor did the did the others ask me to be Freddie. They asked me to be Paul Rodgers, which is great, because for the last 55 yrs, thats all I know anyway" (laughs). Anyone (like me) who was too young to see Queen live should be sucking Paul Rodgers ass.... had it not been for him, you wouldn't have a shot at seeing even 50% of Queen live. No one (including Paul Rodgers) thinks that "Queen have reformed".... and to Sharon G and Brian's permed poodle.... I understand you guys are huge Freddie Mercury fans.... I assure you, you will not find a bigger Freddie Mercury fan than me ( I can recite his birth weight, street address when his family moved to England, and both sets of grandparents on his mother and fathers side ) .....thats a dedicated fan. If I thought for one second that PR was trying to make everyone forget about Freddie, and "take over".... I'd be shitting green twinkies, and loading an AK47 for a manhunt. But that isn't the case.... Paul, a f**king (thats fucking) legend in his own right is very respectful of the others....knows this concert is in tribute of Queen....ges out of the way for Roger and Brian to take center stage....and from what I am told, he leaves in the middle of the show for 30-40 minutes. Does that sound like someone trying to take over?? |

Brian's Spermed Poodle- Here are just some of Paul Rodgers songs that have been charted hits.

There is no more music snob than me. Things that many people like, and buy... I wipe my ass with. But make no mistake... Paul Rodgers is a legend. Mercury is one of the VERY FEW in Paul's league....

Hes a fantastic singer in his own right and i personally think that Newcastle and Manchester he handled the Queen songs really well. And as for replacing Freddie, what a load of crap! If they were trying to erase Freddie from the picture then why have him singing the first verses to Bohemian Rhapsody. I feel sorry for anyone who refuses to go to see Queen + PR because of this "Queen died in 91" rubbish. I suppose you didn't but Made in Heaven then? The fact is this is a new chapter and my eyes and ears tell me it's a very good one. |

His voice often sends chills down my spine. I consider that a form of greatness. I also have Paul to thank personally for turning me on to Otis Redding who is my all time favorite singer. Paul was always mentioning Otis, so I picked up a Otis album when I was 16 and it rocked my world. That led to me digesting as much soul and R&B music as I could. So Paul is directly responsible for turning me on to a whole world of fantastic music. For just that alone, he is a legend in my eyes. |

Paul Rodgers can't replace Freddie, but he's NOT trying to. I think it's great that he performs the songs with his own style, and doesn't imitate Freddie. Before this tour, I hadn't heard of Paul. But the first time I heard his voice I was amazed. If you think Paul isn't fit for Queen, or isn't in Freddie's league, think again. Just because Paul is not as well known is no reason to put him down. I respect Paul's decision to tour with Queen, because he must have known that some narrow-minded people like a few in here would hate him for it. Besides, as said before, Paul is not joining Queen, just working with them. If he was part of the band, the tour would be called just "Queen". All the people that didn't see Queen, and aren't going to see Queen now because of Paul Rodgers - I pity you, because you are missing out on a great show. And Paul Rodgers is part of that. |
| Cwazy little thing 07.05.2005 16:01 |
The thing that interests me about the comments about Paul currently being made is that they are, on the whole based on the recent UK gigs, in which he has been performing slightly below his usual fantastic level due to a sore throat - I noticed it, because he was immense at Brixton, and on every live recording Ive ever heard of him - yet, despite this throat problem, the large majority of reports about him have been about how great he is! Paul Rodgers is the only reason this tour is happening, he is far from a one hit wonder, and, as a vocalist myself, since Id discovered him has become one of the select few vocalists on my list I aspire to be anywhere near, along with Freddie, and know I simply dont have a chance - he's another level. I dont think on the whole he is as legendary as Freddie, but he's still a fucking legend. Someone earlier suggested this tour would work with just Roger and Brian, but put simply, as great a job as they do, there are quite a few songs which you would demand in a Queen setlist, and which are being played on this tour, which neither if them is capable of singing decently....thats why they needed someone like Rodgers - c'mon - I love Brian, but Im sure many of you have heard him attempt some of Freddie's greater moments on his tours - he makes a great effort, but its just not the level I, you, or Brian himself, would want the songs performed at; Rodgers can do it. |

Went to see Queen and Paul Rodgers on Saturday at Cardiff. The gig was fantastic and Paul Rodgers was simply brilliant. He was even better than I imagined him to be. Know what I want now? Free to reunite. I know the lead guitarist is no longer with us, but there is a chap called May that do the job. Oh I know this topic is about Paul, but I have to finish by saying that Brian and Roger were superb. If you ain't seen them yet then you are in for a treat. |

The whole point of this topic is to DEFEND Paul Rodgers. There are plenty going already which ATTACK him. If you don't like him, reply to one of those, not this one. He is not Freddie Mercury, no-one ever said he was. Paul is a great singer in his own right. May, Taylor & Deacon are the best people to judge whether he should sing with Queen or not. Lay off him! |

At the end of the day the tour was succesfull, Paul rodgers sung very well, he performed very well and interpreted Queen into his own original style. i cant think of many frontmen around today who good live up to paul rodgers standard on this tour. |

Greetings Everyone~ Having been a teenage back in the Golden Age of Rock, both Freddie AND PR were widely recognized as two of the greatest vocalists of our era...and there is no disputing PR's continuing contribution to his own legend. I saw him with Bad Co. & The Firm, totally outstanding live. I'd love the chance to see him perform WITH Queen in the States (fingers crossed). And every single time I hear Freddie's voice, I miss him, truly miss him. Which brings me to this: Have any of you heard or seen this band, Keane? Their lead singer (Tom Chaplin) has a haunting familiarity in his voice...check them out! |

i never thought paul could replace freddie, no one can, that's for sure. but i also never thought he would be a horrible choice as a singer. he did a great job (as far as the leipzig gig is concerned imho) and i really like him. full stop. |

saw them in hamburg . Never had the chanche to see Freddie , but Paul is with a doubt the best singer i have ever seen. And Brian and roger seem to play better and better at the time and it has to be because they have one finest singer with them really !! |
