Queen / Queen + Paul Rodgers

[N.I.B]

Freddie is Queen. Paul may have a good voice, but Freddie is the heart and soul of queen.

[Lord Blackadder]

No John Deacon to me this reunion is bullshit with out him. He did write their biggest hit Another One Bites the Dust. Its sooooooo dissappointing he aint a part of this new Queen shit.

That was their biggest American hit. Not their biggest hit anywhere else. Also he chose not to go, it's not like he was banned.

I'm not a big Queen fan, but if this tour comes to Australia, I know I'll go along.
Who cares if they're doing it for the money, I was too young to see Queen in their prime with Freddie, so this is as close I'll get.

I dont think its for the money..These guys are so rich they dont need money..I think thee doing it for the fans that never got a chance to see Queen play live and because they love what they do...and Paul Rodgers is known quite well

I do think they all do it for the fans, but I don't like that they call themselves as Queen, even if Deacon isn't present with them and also Freddie for obvius reasons, I do know I'll defenitely going to see them In September

Paul Rodgers is not unknown. And it aint for the money. Brian and Roger have got alot of money. ALOT.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Is there any american dates or rumors of an america leg of the tour?

[Malcolm]

Yes..They said they definetly want to do an american tour

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Sweet , I dont care what people call them but a chance to see Brian May (if he comes to chicago or Detroit) is worth it to me.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

The chance to see Brian May is priceless, for the rest of stuff you can use MasterCard 

[Lord Blackadder]

New editions to the setlist:

Under Pressure in Manchester (4th May) and Another One Bites The Dust in Birmingham (6th May)

Under Pressure sounds great Brian and Roger sang the vocals. Kinda seemed like they said lets just both sing any of it.

Paul Rodgers sang Another One Bites The Dust.

[Malcolm]

Queen's 'Under Pressure' appeared in the set list last night in Manchester. Replacing 'The Show Must Go On' in the encore, it was the first time it had been played on the tour.

Launch Radio Networks reports: A live CD and DVD from the European shows that QUEEN & PAUL RODGERS finished last month is on tap for later this year. The band recorded every concert they played, but they only shot one in its entirety, on May 9 in Sheffield, England. Work has begun on listening back to the tapes, which should lead to a live album with the best performances from the tour, and a version of QUEEN's "Fat Bottomed Girls" might come out as a single. No release date has been announced, but the package is expected for later this year.

Rodgers told Launch that he approaches music from a completely different place than the late Freddie Mercury did. "He's classically trained, whereas I come out from blues and soul," Rodgers said. "Our writing styles are different. I tend to go for a very simple lyric with lots of space, he went for quite a wordy approach ? not to say that either one is better or worse, it's just different."

[SLCPUNK]

I got a dvd of one of the shows on the tour and its pretty fuckin awsome..Definetly worth checking out..Brian and Rodger sing jsut as many songs and Paul does..Rodger sings Radio-Ga-Ga and a few others..Show opens with Tie Your mother Down..and Freddie sings the first half of Bohemian Rhapsody on the big screen from the live bowl..Then during the middle its like a tribute to him then at the end they all sing together its pretty cool..And they play Alrigth now by pauls old band Free..Good show

Well, what does the new guy sound like? Is his voice similar? Style?
