You're an idiot.
They're talking about in every single radio station in England- it's one of the hottest news. there is a public demand whether you like it or not... All those ppl whop own only Greatest Hits and few albums maybe- they'll go, just like they pack Dominion Theatre every night...

I'm not a racist, but I wanna shoot this nigger. Another R&B nerd I think :-)
Well I've got to be the luckiest bloke in the world because my two favourite bands are Bad Company and Queen. I've seen them both live and feel that some of you Queen fans are doing Paul Rodgers an extreme injustice. I've read some of you write things like "who is he anyway? He's crap". Well if you've never heard of him how can you say he's crap. The facts lie in that Roger and Brian always refused to tour without Freddie because there was nobody to replace him, a fact which I agree with! But can we really question there judgement on this, Paul Rodgers is one of the most respected artists amongst the artists themselves. Slash (guns n roses) begged them to allow him to join them onstage to do wishing well on their last tour. Finally I hope all of you that are disgruntled by the news don't go to the concerts, meaning that I'm guaranteed to get my tickets.
Paul Rodgers was supposed to replace Ian Gillan in Deep Purple back in seventies but refused- he was Richie Blackmore's first choice! As a resul-0 they hired David Coverdale... And ppl are saying he's crap... And that george Michael or robbie would be better... geeez..
Honey Paul Rodgers is "The Voice Of Rock"
front man for Free - Bad Compant- The Law- The Firm.
he has over 25 million recordings, still holds one of the most played hits on radio ""huh does
All Right Now ring any bells?
Feel Like Makin Love?
Shooting Star?
Rock and Roll Fantasy?
Rock Steady?
Runnin With The Pack?
Bad Company?
Cant get enough?
and thats just a scant few.
Paul is without a doubt the greatest all around artist of our time, lets give him his Props ok.

Oh And too the person that ask if Paul can play the Piano yes he does as well as guitar, drums, bass, and pretty much anything he picks up.
he also writes most of his music.
And I don't think Paul wants to replace Freddie M....
He does not walk in anyones shadow, he cast his own.
And yes he can sing anything, and it will be good, his voice is amazing the range he has is unmatched.
Now I liked Queen and I liked Freddie, but lets tell the story ok, Paul Rodgers is not Joining the band, he is not looking to be their front man, he is touring with them, big diff.
And they are Damn lucky to get him.
I have seen Queen live back in the day, and I have been lucky enough to have seen Free, And Bad Company mant times,
Paul Rodgers is one of the few that have remained true to his roots true to his music, and true to the fans.
and yes he still flat out kicks ass on stage, just go see him you will be blown away.
Trust Pauls music will be around as long as there is music,

We have some negative people here on Queenzone... they would burn off everyone person who tries to stand in Freddie's shoes...I don’t think they have something personal against Paul.
By the way, most of us love Bri and Roger play with Paul.
It's funny how the news spreads like a fire... A lot new people here, some of them are Paul Rodger fans.

The best singer I've seen singing Queen's songs after Freddie's death is Gary Cherone. (The guy from Extreme)
He's as much an entertainer as Freddie was... almost.
And his voice is great too!
I think they should have him as the singer on this tour.

Anyone who hasn't heard of Paul Rodgers should consider themselves badly informed of the all-time greats! He is just about the best voice in the business, and is also one of the best front men.
The decision to tour with Paul is probably the best choice made.

Nobody gives a shit about Queen touring this summer. "The whole world" will not be watching them tour. You guys are bunch of idiots. Freddie Mercury is dead and Queen's time has also past.
You prat!! Nobody gives a shit eh...still selling cds by the score WWRY doing rather well thank you-wait for them dates and watch the tickets go. As for being a pervert cos I happen to have grown up listening and watching Queen from the early seventies-Freddie is a god to a lot of people their choice- to me he was a first class musician and showman who gave and still gives pleasure every time I stick a cd on. Still you'll grow up one day darling!
On 'Back To The Light' album there's Paul Rodgers name in 'my special thanks to' section!
Judy Cain listed these songs:
All Right Now ring any bells?
Feel Like Makin Love?
Shooting Star?
Rock and Roll Fantasy?
Rock Steady?
Runnin With The Pack?
Bad Company?
Cant get enough?
Well I have to admit, I have not heard of any of them !!! Was this band popular in Australia? I saw the photo of Paul on Brians site, he looks pretty old ??

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
...fekkin hell he's been busy!!!! no private life then? my best guess is that even if each recording was only 4minutes long and it only took an hour to record that makes 416,666 days in the studio to make 25 million recordings...so if he started recording at 20 years old that makes the fekker 1161 years old....jeez he looks good for his age!!!

I saw Queen in November 1973 as support to Mott the Hoople at the Manchester Opera House [neat name for a venue given what transpired]- I was a fan of Mott yet attended to check out Queen a new band on the scene and was suitably blown away - as a support act they were awesome.
However the primary mover that generated my interst in RNR as a kid was a band named Free - lead vocalist Paul Rodgers - and thirty years later I have to say the idea of Rodgers, May and Taylor getting together gets the old goose bumps going - personally I would prefer they ditch the respective back catalogues and tour presenting new numbers - alienating fans from both camps but engaging the interest of those who dig rock and blues - this is where the 'biz' and 'financial worth' creep in - would they dare to do that?
In 2005 I'll hopefully catch Ian Hunter [Mott the Hooples front man]when he tours the UK and hopefully in the US as a part of a 500 strong audience at some theatres - there was a whole 1200 approx at the Manchester Opera House back in 1973 - sometimes music is about more than just the numbers.
