or should I say dislike's!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Theier will never be another Freddie Mercury!!!!!!!! |
| Gone. 27.09.2006 22:45 |
Omg. What is your problem? Just because you don't like him...doesn't mean you have to trash him like that. I personally think he is a cool guy, and an awesome singer. How dare you. :( |
| Bambi 27.09.2006 23:00 |
Can't judge some one I do not know, I can't say I dislike him, he has never done anything to me, he seems to be a friendly person, and Hate is a strong word. |

Paul Rodgers is mahvelous. And if he hadn't hooked up with Brian and Roger a couple of years ago, I would not have had the opportunity to see and hear a Queen concert again. Paul gets a strong thumbs up. |

well, i have met Paul Rodgers, and he is one of the nicest people i have ever met. he has an amazing voice, and i don't know why this has to be drudged up every few weeks. clearly, he is not Freddie Mercury, and i can honestly say that i've never heard anyone say he is. so get over it. |

Hey BPP! |

He's a very talented singer and, as somebody else pointed out, a very cool guy. I have seen pictures and videos of him during the nineties and he doesn't look as good as now (liftoff, hair implants perhaps?). I had heard very little about him before last year's tour but mainly because I didn't listen to a lot of other music for some years and I had never came across any Free or Bad Company album. I saw Queen+PR live 4 times in Europe in 2005. I didn't care for Paul in the first couple of shows (I was too excited looking and listening to Brian and Roger) but by the time I got to the Prague show and then Leipzig, I started to pay more attention to him. He's an awesome singer and a very good entertainer; he's always smiling and seems to be having a good time on stage. When I saw the guys in San Diego this year, Paul really took it to another level. The whole band was on fire but Paul was truly in command. The audienced seemed to care more about him than Brian or Roger and there was this great feedback, back and forth. Best show ever for me and my friends. So... I don't hate Paul Rodgers! haha :) (after all this) Wiley |
| AmeriQueen 28.09.2006 03:32 |
2 years ago I saw him as a great rock singer, easily the best thing about 'Bad Company', a better than average '70's rock band. Now he is the man who brought Queen back together. If I had a 'Man of the Year' award, he would have won for 2005. Paul rules!! Not only has he brought Queen back, but he has elected to reinvent each Queen cover his own way, which has turned out to make Queen's live material fresh and new in a way that stands on it's own. He is cerainly no Freddie, but I would rather hear Paul's Queen music for certain, rather than a Freddie imitation, even if George Michael, who sounds as much like Freddie as anyone can, was the singer in question. Paul Rodgers has created a new style in which Queen music is sang. I love the guy!!!! |
| antnicholas1 28.09.2006 03:59 |
Here we go again, all of this critism about Paul, I like what he has done with some of the Queen set list and I wish them all of the best for future adventures. He has my backing |
| Elizabeth Knightson 28.09.2006 04:03 |
I don't know him that much: can't tell if he's a nice fella or then contrary. But, he's for sure a good singer and I thank him for helping Brian and Roger to give a little blow of life to Queen again. Please, stop trashing him sayin' "He'll never do better than Freddie", I don't think that's what he intends : maybe you should understand that Brian and Roger were part of Queen and wanted to bring memories back, feel musicians again, and that they needed a singer because Freddie was unfortunately no there. I found him very brave to do this, he must have expected those harsh and stupid critics (like the "never replace Freddie one") |
| john bodega 28.09.2006 04:07 |
He could stand to say 'hit me with your heart and with your soul' a little less often. Otherwise, sounds like a nice guy. |

When Brian and Roger announced that they would be touring with Paul Rodgers, my first reaction was "who?". However, I was over the moon that I finally got a chance to see Queen in action, even when it was with half the original band and a different singer. Freddie Mercury died before I was old enough to see them in concert, so this was as close I was ever going to get. Like I said, I had never heard of Paul Rodgers, so I downloaded some material by Free and Bad Company, some hits which I did know and Seagull, which I loved! I got to see Paul Rodgers in action live during the Antwerp gig, which was simply stunning. I really liked the man instantly, all smiles, a good performer and a great, great singer. I feel in love with the man (figure of speach) and when I got home I got the "greatest hits" album by Free and the "Bad Company" album, which are now among my favorite albums. Paul Rodgers is not Freddie Mercury, but he does not pretend to be, nor has anyone said that he is. Paul Rodgers is a great artist in his own right and I am glad that he inspired Brian and Roger to tour again. Here's hoping for an album with new music! |
| k-m 28.09.2006 04:57 |
Freddie Mercury, probably |
| jjaaccoo 28.09.2006 05:00 |
I can't hate the man nor do I want to. If an album is released soon, it should be called, Queen with guest vocalist, Paul Rogers. The Beatles without Lennon? Enough said. |
| sara310 28.09.2006 07:05 |
Paul,I have nothing against him...he's cool. |
| Tannya 28.09.2006 09:32 |

Paul is okay, but I personally hate him because no one other than Freddie (or Roger, or Brian) has the right to sing Queen songs. |
| coops 28.09.2006 10:49 |
I like his voice and I like his music. I don't hang out with him so what else is there to be concerned about? |
| Going Back 28.09.2006 11:00 |
i'm sad that they choose him as lead singer as he is more country rock singer, but aslong they keep touring and brian and roger sing too i am happy. i will start hating him if anyone tells that he sings any queen song better than freddie, because that is a lie. but nope don't hate him some songs are ok with him on vocals but rather would have had george michael or JJS. |
| boca 28.09.2006 11:30 |
I don't hate him, yet, I should be grateful to him because if there wasn't him there wouldn't be new tour, but I don't like his style and voice when it's about singing Queen songs. I still think they should do an audition for the singer... |

| Lia 28.09.2006 15:03 |
Paul Rodgers is of no interest to me. I did get goose bumps when George Michael sang "Somebody to Love" at the Tribute concert so I know the songs are great in themselves but few can do them justice. Paul Rodgers is not one of them, in my opinion. |
| Hooligan's Holiday 28.09.2006 16:38 |
*yaaaaaaaaaaaawn* This is getting about as old as... as... well, something really, really old. So you dislike Paul, that's your problem. It's like beating a dead horse with you Paul-haters, WE DON'T CARE IF YOU DISLIKE HIM. Get over it. |

Thanks to the kindness and humbleness of Paul Rodgers, we were able to see our heroes perform again...Show some respect for the guy. For most of you wankers out there it was your only change to see Roger on stage with Brian. After the Frankfurt gig we met Paul and he is a very kind person. Stupid topics like this should be deleted. |

If you're under 21 and you "hate Paul", why do you crazy kids keep bringing him up? You weren't even listening to music when Freddie was alive, yet you judge every musician according to his abilities. This makes you (1) morons, (2) totally close-minded to any different styles of music, (3) miss some really good bands and singers, and (4) make you appear about 5 years younger to all of us. You may go back and play now. |

I don't dislike Paul Rodgers. In fact, I've never met him, but he's a great singer in Free and Bad Company, so he's done nothing wrong. But Get Down, Make Luv & 7 Seas Of Rhye, I know I should keep out of this, but please stop fighting. The only thing I hate just as much as showing animosity towards someone who toured with Queen is to read posts of two teenage queenzoners argue. Can we all just get along? |

I'm at about 300 or so. Freddie, amazing as he was, had plenty of off nights, just like anyone else. Buenos Aires 3-8-81... he forgot about half of the words of Need Your Loving Tonight. Osaka 3-29-76 (evening show), he sang the wrong verse of BoRhap. And there are so many shows where his vocal range was totally chewed, far worse than any common Queen would ever want to hear him! But I speak the truth. In most of the Japan 79 shows, his range was about an octave. |
