I was wondering if Queen would have released a song as a single that brian or roger sung. lets say roger sung 'we are the champions', would they have released it. i dont think they would have. what do u guys think. |

This is the point where a certain moderator of QOL would start quizzing the posters... Apparently they have released another single (Long Away, in USA or some other place) in addition to NOBY which doesn't feature Freddie on vocals... And we all know what a success that was. :P |

Invicible Hope. Amandla. Do those count? |

Depends on what's his line-up of Queen without Freddie... |
| englishyob 21.07.2005 12:05 |
there released Long Away in the US and that was sung by Brian wasn’t it |

well if they are to make a album with paul rogders then thats a song without freddie in it!! |

You said it Tero! |

Brian also sang the first verse of WWTLF on the single. So the answer to the question is "yes". |

Liam: Am I missing your point here? What about "I'm In Love With My Car?" (I mean the song, not the fact that I LOVE my car ;-) |

They released Long Away, too...I think that would've done better in England maybe than it did in the US, though. I bet if that had been successful they would've released something not sung by Freddie, but that's mostly what an audience, especially casual fans buying the single, wanted to hear. |

Freddie was obviously the leadsinger of Queen, so was his job to do the lead vocals - even on singles. Album songs are an own chapter. Would they promote an single (with the exclusion of Long Away, hehe) and mentioned Freddie as an background singer and maybe piano player only ???Not the best idea for commercial success I think. But I hope the next Queen single will feature Paul on lead vocals, hopefully with a new song. FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS live would be a weird single, because the song was already released as an double A-side with Freddie on vocals. But please, please no Brian or Roger on lead vocals - they should keep this, for their next solo album(s). Excuse me for my bad English - but I´m drunk. |

"A Human Body" as well! |

In certain cases they might've...but honestly I don't think Brian has a good voice, but I love his guitar playing. I think Roger has a kick ass rock voice and he could pull off the heavy stuff, but Freddie can sing anything and that's why the released his stuff... and does anyone know if John sings at all? |
