I wish they would give him more time at the microphone (out front). |
| Donna13 13.03.2006 09:52 |
He could handle any of the Freddie songs that have high notes. I would like to see a duet between Roger and Brian (Brian on the RS) at the end of the catwalk. Maybe a medley. |
| Fiendishly Yours 13.03.2006 10:26 |
I agree. Roger has a great voice and it kills me to see that he's actually singing LESS this time around on the tour. I noticed that 'Say It's Not True' is gone, which was never a favorite of mine, but at least it got him a little more time with the microphone. Maybe it'll pop up again later on. I also like your duet idea. That'd be awesome! |

Notes that Roger could hit: It's so easy, but I can't do it So risky - but I gotta chance it It's so funny, there's nothing to laugh about My money, that's all you wanna talk about I can see what you want me to be But I'm no fool It's in the lap of the Gods...... |

He sang In the lap of the Gods...rev once. And his vocal was very close to Freddie's! |

Ending of "Love of My Life" was great by Brian. |
| phoenixFire 13.03.2006 18:00 |
Yes I think Roger's voice is great! Very distinct and powerful, not to mention higher than Freddie's. It would be awesome, for me, if Roger by any chance would do lead vocals for early Queen songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Spread Your Wings, Somebody To Love, etc., in their current tour. If Freddie could sing '39 in Brian's place, why can't Roger sing BoRap in Freddie's place? Just a thought. ;-) |

his high notes are AMAZING. Like In the Lap of Gods, in the begging |
| DreaminQueen 13.03.2006 18:41 |
Indeed, he does have a great voice! Id love to see him sing more as well! The whole group was sooo mulit-talented. I cant wait to see them in Buffalo in 6 days!!! |

Bohemian Rhapsody scenario: Roger - lead vocals and drums, Brian - lead guitar, Paul Rodgers - piano (and vocals for the concluding part)...hmmm ;-) |

Is paul playing piano for BoRap now? Its a nice touch. I didn't know he played piano for queen songs, just based on the bonus DVD I got with ROTC cd which had some guy playing keyboard for Champions. If paul wasn't playing piano for borap, I think it would be a nice touch to have a grand piano on stage, with a spotlight on it, but nobody there. Then have pre-recorded piano of freddie playing w/ the matching video on the screen (at least for the first minute or so of the song). I think it would be a good tribute to freddie, and remind the crowd that somebody is missing. |
| icefire 14.03.2006 03:29 |
i would really like such a voice for myself :)) all those earlier versions of i'm in love with my car are awesome!!! but do you above think that roger should have done most of freddie's parts??? strange opinions!! |
| scprof 14.03.2006 06:26 |
Brian and Roger should keep on doing the acoustic version of I Was Born 2 Love U. I loved the version that they did in Japan. |
| Ayreon 14.03.2006 08:38 |
No, Paul isn't playing piano for Borap, but for Badco. Spike's playing on borap. And the 'eamty seat thingy' ia already done with Love of my life. |

Here in th UK, they use a bit of the Wembley concert when Freddie is singing it. |

Same here - Freddie is on the big screen playing piano for Bo. Rhap. |

Freddie's highest note was hit at the Rock In Rio blues I believe, and was a few notes above Roger's highest, and Freddie's lowest was at least half an octave lower (Bring Back Leroy Brown) I think. |
| phoenixFire 14.03.2006 12:06 |
I stand to be corrected. Thanks for the info Cricket Nutter. ;-) |

roger's amazing, love the way he sings queen songs on his solo tours!! |
| eiricd 14.03.2006 16:21 |
roger's voice is superb. would be interesting to hear him do other stuff Paul Rodgers played drums on his first solo album (and all other istruments) - just so you know :) |
| Donna13 14.03.2006 16:58 |
Seems like they can all play all instruments. |
| phoenixFire 14.03.2006 19:00 |
...but on the other hand Cricket Nutter, what you're referring to as Freddie's highest note in "Rock In Rio Blues" is actually Roger's famous "Bb4"! This is Roger's last note in the operatic section in Bohemian Rhapsody. ;-) |

I have never really been a fan of Roger's voice. Sounds like two packs a day. |
