Hm, well, everytime I see him I want to ask: "Hey, Paul, where´s your horse?" I can´t help myself, he looks like a man from western, or something like that. I keep picturing him singing in a saloon, with this hat on his head, in cowboy shoes and leather trousers, tasselled shirt and all that crap :) Sorry, Paul! |

although a nice guy and a great singer, he looks to me like a man in a serious midlife crisis. |

Thank you, finally a nice way to express myself about Paul. I'll admit the "Queen is not Queen without Freddie" crusade is old so.... Paul is a good singer, hell, a great singer. He is just simply not suited for Queen's music. He has the more southern voice of people like Kenny Rodgers or even the king himself, Elvis. If they would have gotten someone with a more distinct and unique voice like Freddie, well, we wouldn't have this conversation right now. I think they should have picked Antony Keidas from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. |

I for one am really glad he got Brian and Roger out on tour, otherwise we would not have seen a great set of shows. I have no idea why you people (sorry some people) get so worked up about Paul Rodgers, this is just a band guys it really doesn't matter. And Frankly if it gets them out on tour great, even if they play with Dolly Parton! New stuff, well I hope so, I think Paul is a good contrast to Freddie, and adds a new twist to the music. When Freddie died I assumed that was that, however I am really pleased to be given the chance to see my favourite musicians again out where they belong. But at the end of the day it's just music and entertainment, so why get so upset? if you don't like it, look the other way. If Fred was alive he would be proud that his music lives on, all this bollocks about destroying the reputation etc etc was/is crap. I was a fan of Queen back in the 70's when it started, I joined the fan club in 1980 and the one thing that kept me coming back to them was the fact that they changed and tried new things, to me this is just another change, everyone got in a fuss when they recorded Jazz, then again with the Game, and later with Hot Space, well jeez, it's music, why do the same thing for 30 years? Long live Queen, Long live Oueen + PR ! |

You know how you look at some people and think "I bet they smell bad." Well, all pics I've seen of Paul Rodgers give me that feeling - maybe garlic sweat, maybe horrible B.O., maybe shit breath. He just looks smelly. I just can't enjoy music from someone who I think smells. I bet Freddie smelled of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, or spearmint growing in pristine Swiss pastures. |

Long live Queen and PR!! |

Paul is Ok. But when I hear him, just reminds me of how much I miss Freddie. |

Sharon G. wrote: Paul is Ok. But when I hear him, just reminds me of how much I miss Freddie.agreed thats why i wont ever be able to look at Paul's music the same again. Not in a bad way but an eh way. I dont think he should be singing the Queen songs he does, hes voice is too low and bluesy then Freddie's is the true rockers voice- high and relatively low perfect for his songs not Paul. Pual does well in his own genre though |
| Rafael Macedo 22.11.2005 22:40 |
I think is great to see, the best musicians in the world, and best writers (Brian & Roger)in the world... To me it doesnt matter who is on stage wit them, the most important is that they rocking again... Freddie is dead but we have his songs, John is gone but he have his songs... John & Freddie are in some way, still in the band because their talent is on the songs that are being played on this tour... so, in some way the four members are still togheter, because freddie and john presence is in the air, everytime the band plays one of thier songs... I think Paul is a cool guy, a great singer, and hes doing his best to filll that spot... he wiil never make it, but he's really tryin... I have a problem wit Pauls voice... he takes the fun and happiness, these songs used to have... they sound so serious sometimes... and those ornaments he does wit his voice, freddie was maybe the best singer of alll time and he never needed all those R&B style ornaments... God save the Queen & Paul Rodgers... |
| Sharron .G 22.11.2005 23:49 |
Look at it like this though.... Freddie Mercury was a 1,000 trick pony. He could sing anything. Opera? Rock? Campy Vaudville so gay, that Liberace would point and say "fag"? Pop? Disco? Dance? Whatever... Freddie just dialed it in, kicked its ass...stole the show.... and everyone talked about it for years. Paul Rodgers is about as far opposite of "Freddie's style" as another male lead singer can get. Paul is more of a 1 trick pony. He's got 1 voice..... but guess what folks, that 1 voice MUST BE A REALLY GOOD VOICE. Because everything he's ever touched gets rave reviews from even the most asshole reviewers. He's now sang in 4 world reknowned bands? With the biggest one (Queen, of course) occuring while in his late 50's. Guys, gals, we all know Freddie was the ultimate frontman. When ego's the likes of Bono,McCartney, and Elton come up to, and in their own way say "you just kicked our ass"..... then you know you rock. (Live Aid '85) But, lets cut the shit..... we all know Paul Rodgers doesn't suck... and everyone reading this, even Bryan's Sperm Puddle.... gets curious when they are about to hear a Queen song sung by Paul for the first time. |
| Lester Burnham 22.11.2005 23:57 |
*sings* I know who Sharron G. is...! To contribute: he's a great singer, has a great blues voice, and adds a new dimension to Queen. He reminds me a lot of Roger Daltrey. Rodgers is terrific, and just the fact that Brian was so enamored with him to get him to start touring again gives him a plus in my book. |
| Freddie's #1 Fan Forever 23.11.2005 01:13 |
Paul Rodgers is vastly inferior to Freddie Mercury. |

I think the whole Queen+PR thing could have been a lot worse, but I'm still not a fan for a couple of reasons. 1. Paul has a face that I really want to punch - he used to look sooo cool in 1970 with the hair and the big beard, but all the surgery has just made him look annoying. 2. The guy can't talk, he has to sing. 3. The music just doesn't have the same excitement for me live with the current line up. I just have to hear a snippet of any queen show from 72-86 and I'm on a high, raring to go, but at Hyde Park in July I found myself getting really bored alot of the time (and not just during Last Horizon - I made good use of that time and went for a piss!) I've got nothing against the guy, and he has got a great voice, but Q+PR just doesn't work for me I'm afraid. |

| Serry... 23.11.2005 09:09 |
Well seriously, I have no right to say what do I think about Q+PR, because I haven't seen Q+Freddie (on live shows, not on DVDs I mean). I can't compare two things if I haven't seen one of them. But for me Queen's life is over when John's retired from post-Freddie projects, i.e. GH3. |
| MadeInMadhouse 26.11.2005 16:15 |
About Paul? He sing fine!! but far away from Queen |
| MadeInMadhouse 26.11.2005 16:17 |
I am agree with you Slenka!! He looks like a Cowboy!! let see he reminds me THE RANGER OF TEXAS, Starring Chuck Norris |
| dixie 26.11.2005 17:34 |
to be honest i think PR was the best singer (since freddie died) that has performed with queen. i like the way his voice goes with certain queen songs. ok he isnt half the man freddie was . but in my honest opinion. he is a great singer especially for songs like the show must go on |
| Knute 26.11.2005 17:50 |
I think he's fantastic. One of the best rock n' roll singers there ever was or ever will be. His voice has a great emotive quality about it. He has a nice range, strong technique, and his voice has an excellent timbre. He can sings ballads as well as the grittiest soul and blues. He's one of a kind, really. |
| The Fairy King 26.11.2005 17:57 |

Total knob who cannot sing and has sold no records. Plus he is an unknown and resembles a session musician. |

Pretty brave getting out there and doing that with Brian and Roger, knowing all of you would be ripping him. I think he did a wonderful job, and yes, go the boys back out there. My problem is that the bass player (and I won't mention his name cause he sucked) looked homeless. When you play with class, try to dress the part, you moron!!! |
