I personally think its better that Paul Rogers has a very diffrent sound from Freddie, otherwise it would appear they were trying to replace him which I dont think is the case. I not a big fan of Queen plus Paul Rogers but I appreicate the effort. Paul isnt bad, he just cant hold a candle to Freddie Mercury.

Its a tired subject but i just cant help myself.
i was lucky enough to see queen 9 or 10 or 11 times live and they were both good and average. i noticed that when they played London (or down south anyway) they seemed to up their game 50%. When i saw them in manchester or birmingham it wasnt half as good. leeds was really good though BUT not as great as they say. some tracks were absolutely fantastic, i remember action and back chat were just brilliant. On their day they were very good. live aid was just jaw dropping but i think its important to say that not all queen gigs were great. Now i got free tickets to see q+pr live and it was a stroll in the park for them, it was ridiculous (i wouldnt have been happy paying for it at all), there was no energy, no spark, tired even, BUT what they did have is songs that everyone could sing along to which made a good show - whilst me had my arms folded bored - everyone loved it so what do i know. paul rodgers is a fine singer i guess, his back catalogue tells us that and in a live environment i thought they actually fitted each other very well (havent heard cosmos). Queen songs are now written in stone, folklore, you cant mess with it. the only way to me it could have been interesting is if they took a left turn and got erm, someone like bjork, or skin, or kos or usher or oh i dont know. before anyone crucifies me for those choices im just thinking of any artists off the top of my head, so different that it would be a genuine collaboration, maybe a reworking. Obviously that wouldnt sell out arenas though which is the point. As i stood at that q+pr gig i quickly realised that pr was just another guy singing the exact same songs exactly the same as theyve already been done, just not as good (not his fault), so whats the point of that??
