Followed by dream of thee and Why don't we try again
But if STRICTLY "QUEEN+" then
....
(Two minutes later)
.....
Rogers stuff was good but strictly "QUEEN+?"
....
Hold on.
.... FIVE LIVE... that bit with George Michael doing papa was a rolling stone. ....
Oh wait. .. that wasn't with the band.
Hold on.
....
Man.
I'm really stumped. Seriously.
I'd say SURF'S UP, SCHOOL'S OUT if it wasn't such a retarded title and chorus. RUNAWAY suffered from overproduction
FIRE AND WATER (*Live)
Hearing Brian tear it up on that song was incredible. Wish I'd caught THAT Tour instead of being a dope.

What about your favourite post queen song BEFORE freddie?
goldie42 · Member since
Aha - so I am not the only person who likes Invincible Hope then. Song most often overlooked IMHO.
Thanks KJ

yes goldie42, the song is great. Last year when there was a rumour of a "Made in Heaven 2", Which turned out to be Queen Forever, I was hoping they would include a reworked version of this song where they would replace the the female voices with the Brian/Roger harmonie.

Favorite PRE Freddie song is POLAR BEAR. Fantastic song. Creepy thanks to the aging. Almost DEEP PURPLE MKI ish
Just remember he's not for sale

Mr.Mouth: You my friend are 100% correct that Paul Rodgers is a power house singer and miles better than Adam Lambert.
Paul does indeed have a very good pedigree where as Adam is struggling to get some kind of niche in his ability to sing properly.
My ears do not lie either and i prefer Paul Rodgers any day to fake Lambert.
Lambert thinks he is gods gift well he is in for a shock because he is not anything worth remembering!
fickle boy![/QUOTE]
Being as Paul Rodgers has been in and out of bands since the late 60's, well before Lambert was born I guess you could argue that he has a "good pedigree" however working on that line of thought, Freddie, like Lambert, must have been crap during the first five years as a pro singer because of lack of pedigree. If the rule stands for one it stands for all!

Yet, there's a flaw to your logic.
Freddie Mercury was 100% perfect for songs written by and for Freddie Mercury.
It's simple as that.
Same applies to Adam for songs written for Adam Lambert.
Only problem is attempting to transmit a singer to songs written by and for Freddie.
Though Freddie sounds strained in the IBEX recordings, those were hardly professional. (I mention IBEX for anyone looking to draw a parallel between the two)
Why can't people admit that ours it's not the best combination but Adam pulls off a few of the power ballads well

I honestly think "Runaway" should have been released as a single because it has more Queen trade marks than "celebrity"
Paul Rodgers vocals are really great and those blistering Queen guitar licks are Queen back on top!
[/QUOTE]
1] PR's vocals are pretty average (on this song) nothing special - esp compared to Del Shannon
2] what "blistering licks"? wtf - are YOU listening to?
3] all round - it's a very typical cover version...and quite tepid...only thing it made me do - was dig out the original...and listen to how the song was intended to be heard - as the timeless gem it is
