You guys are all forgeting the most important factor of this tour: ITS THE RETURN OF THE MIGHTY QUEEN!! As loyal Queen fans, we should be rejoicing their return, not nitpicking at small things that could go wrong. And besides, Paul Rogers is a great singer. He ain't Freddie, but that's good! We don't want to pay good money to see a Queen cover band with Rogers dressed in a tight leotard. We want all the classics, but with a new spin on them! Who's with me?


I am.

I know that the truth may be difficult to accept sometimes, but somebody had to say it - THE QUEEN IS NAKED!

why don't you to shut up to insult the people of this forum and their intelligence?are you thinking to be intelligent?.Intelligence is tryng to understand, it's not criticism.
I told you, you're an ASSHOLE, really believe me.
You've got no dream of seeing Queen live and knowing what Queen are really live and what they can do, so don't call yourself "fan".
If you bought some ticket for a Queen + PR show you'd better sell it to someone who really cares about Queen.There are a lot of people who would like to see them and can't buy the tickets because some asshole like you has steal from them the opportunity to buy the tickets and have fun to tell shit about Queen.
Really this is my last post about what you said, don't waste my time anymore.

Ray - surely you can do better than that. What happened to the witty Ray?

I agree that the "sad comeback" title is huge overstatement, but I am not overly excited by this concert, and I am not too concerned about downloading it. I have heard these songs live many times before.

Excuse me, but the only person who is trying to insult somebody on this forum is you. I'm not trying to insult anybody here, I only wrote what are my feelings about what I heard yesterday. That's all.

Trust me, I love Queen and I'm really excited about their return. Although, I couldn't help noticing the things that went horribly wrong yesterday. Of course, I only saw four songs, so I don't know anything about the rest of the gig. Nevertheless, what I witnessed yesterday wasn't pretty. That doesn't make me disloyal.

I'd like to think of myself as a fan (30 years of listening and more live concerts that I care to remember)

However, being a fan does NOT mean being blind and deaf.

The four songs I saw/heard yesterday were rough. Something went wrong - something wasn't right.

However, in "Bri", Roger and Pauls defense (and God knows they need one) - those charity / multi band type gigs are always a little out of control.

So...lets see what it sounds like at their Brixton gig. When "Queen" + PR are in full control with another 7 days rehearsal under their belts.

I understand that nobody has claimed Paul Rodgers is a replacement for Freddie...but I tell ya - after seeing yesterdays effort it really reminds me WHY Freddie was so special!

Bless ya Fred - you're sadly missed.

PS - I wonder did Deacon have to change his shorts after seeing this performance :)

Jason, I totally agree.

and another booooring one...

You know.. for much time, i have agreed with the fact that Queen without Freddie and John was not Queen... But i have just heard the 4 songs available for download here from 46664... and i'll tell 'ya... I was surprised... I'm actually thinking it was a good idea for them to comeback!
Roger is not looking very good (at least from the pics i've seen) but his drumming and his voice continue as powerful as ever...

The only thing about Paul forgetting the lyrics is that when Freddie forgot them, the song would still be great, because he'd do his usual vocal things (how can you not like his "ram pam pam pam parampans in "Good old fashioned..." in Earls Court :-) )
Anyway... great TYMD!!!
Just hope they come to Brazil.. hehehe

Well, I remember the 1st VHS I saw from Queen, and how i was waiting to hear "It's a hard life" performed LIVE.
They recorded that song one year EARLIER but i remember Freddie singing:

"you win, you lose
It's a DARA DA DA DA of love"....

Does this click to anyone?

Paul Rodgers remembered the lyrics from WWRY and WATC on the Hall of Fame, and he had no display, so you must understand that he was simply tired/nervous, plus, there were about 25 C° in George, South Africa (excluding lights and other things on stage that surely raises temperatures up). Not the best climate for a concert like that, and we all know it's not so easy to remember so many new lyrics so quick.
Ppl who was there on the 46664 gig told that Paul sung his 3 songs (the Bad Company ones) way better, cos he had just to concentrate on smilies and the approach with the crowd and so on, not on the lyrics.

I say again. If you don't like it, don't buy it.
If you don't like it, don't steal us our fun and excitement. It will get better, but i like it that way too.

I got sick of ppl who make comparisons with Freddie! Freddie was great but not perfect too.
And ppl who loves music shold like and respect Paul Rodgers bluesy ways.

Queen fans are the most severe I've ever known...
