I have to say....oh shit.
Could be worser!
I have not yet heared the HOF performance,
but Paul Rodgers has to me on of the best
voices in Rock...but will it suit to Tie your
mother down?

First, this is what I wrote in another threat:
Wow!
I've been a heavy critic of everything BM and RT have done for the last couple of years. Some things that are happening lately sometimes made me feel nearly ashamed of being a Queenfan.
But what I've just heard, made me smile big time! I mean, this is a band thats worthy! I'd love to see them record and tour. Indeed, like GH says, Paul doesn't want to sound like Freddie, but he needs not! This is a singer that would work in this band that played there last week. It's not Queen, but it's a good band in it's own right.
Also Brian and Roger (the whole band for that matter) finally sound well-rehearsed and a tight unit. I think the 46664 gig was the first time since the 1992 Tribute concert there was a spark of magic in the air. This show was the second spark! Again: not seeing this band as 'Queen' (and not wanting to see it as such) this is the kind of collaborations that do justice to both RT and BM, the band ánd Paul Rodgers as musicians! Rodgers is worthy playing with BM and RT, and judging from the Hall of Fame show it works the other way round as well. It's not Paul Rodgers fronting Queen, it's BM, RT and Paul R playing in a band together. I've been listening to the show over and over again and I'm confident: YES this is finally a band that I would want to go see!
Good thing they played more then just Queen songs. If they record some new stuff without trying to copy Queen whatsoever I'm sure it got stuck in my player. Add some Queensongs and some classics like All Right Now and tour not too large venues!!
I realy hope there will be more fruits from this collaboration.
(if only it were to forget about the musical cast, Titney-Beyoncé-Pink, 5ive and all the others that got involved with 'Queen' and are absolutely below standard. BM and RT deserve better and Paul Rodgers sure is a healthy party)

I think the alright now performance shows that they're very capable of doing something great. And the previous singers that joined Queen have been just that, singers. Paul is a musician who can actually talk to the guys on a different level. He has credibility, which is also why I think he'd be fine with many fans.
Peace,
Adam.

Queen and Paul Rodgers?
I'd say Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers.
I have enough of Brian May using the Queen name to get what he wants...

After watching the performance, I'm thrilled! They still got it and Paul Rodgers is amazing. I hope they do something together.
Agreed. This is the best Brian and Roger collaboration yet. I really hope this does well!
If it's true I'm gonna say- YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING IT ON!!!
No more "maybe Robbie" or "maybe George Michael" bullshit anymore- let's do sth with a real rock voice, with an extremely talented vocalist, with a REAL PERSOANLITY!!!
I don't think they could find anyone better!!!

Yes, that's good news but they need to hurry... Waiting for the Hammer to Fall... They're approaching 60 y.o ! Maybe next year?
Do U think they already worked on something ?
They sounded very very confident and well rehearsed...

Maybe it would be better if Brian and Roger dont use the Queen name. Original Queen does not exist anymore and it can never be the same again. I would just like to remember them as they were - unrepeatible.

agree.i am happy with bri and rog doing new stuff with mr rodgers...unless they're not going to call themselves queen
I've been on the fence about Brian and Roger coming back as Queen, but if it's got to be with somebody, I think Paul Rodgers is a great choice. At least it's better than seeing them with any more soon to be washed up popstars or half the cast of We Will Rock You. And it gives some of us who never had the chance to see Queen live see a part of the band do something other than promote the musical forever.
