It amzazes me that most of the people ctiticising this tour never saw Queen live. Are they even entitled to an opinion? You can't judge a band from watching videos.

So by your logic you're ruling out anyone who was born in 1982 (like myself) or later? We can't voice an opinion?

RIP Freddie 24/11/1991
RIP Queen 1997

Why bother coming on here if you think Queen is Dead....be a fan of the Smiths or something....

Queen + Paul Rogers ROCK! Hope they tour North America!!

The Show Must Go On (and if you don't believe that....listen to Innuendo 10 more times)

Just thought I would put my two pennith in, as they say. I went to Birmingham to see QPR and had a great time once I convinced myself I was not seeing Queen but was seeing to members of Queen with Paul Rodgers. There is a subtle difference between the two. Yes I was there to "compare" (not that you can) the sound of Paul's voice to that of our beloved Freddie and knew before he opened his mouth that he was not going to get within 50% of Freddie's talent. And I will say that his voice power does not do justice to the Queen catalogue....but... he does have a great blues voice and on his songs really rocked. By the end of the show I felt that Brian and Roger could have had the same impact and crowd if they went out on their own but they needed Paul to take them on the road again so I am grateful to that. If it is a choice of seeing them with Paul or not at all then Paul it is.

There is only one voice that can get within 25% of Freddie's and that is George Michael (tribute concert proved that) and onlt one showman that can get close to Freddie and that is Robbie Williams. Both of them didn't get the chance to perform live with Queen as a Queen+ band so i think that the choice of Paul Rodgers is a fair one.

I dont think that they will tour again (after perhaps USA) but may do the odd one-off show here and there. They should perhaps stick to guesting with the wonderful Spike Edney and his SAS Band.

So although I went to come away from NEC feeling that Queen is dead, I actually came away thinking that, yes, I am glad to see Brian and Roger again and had a great night.

It took a huge amount of guts for both Brian and Roger to do anything as "Queen" again, they knew they would be slated by the narrow minded journo's and all credit to them for their convictions. They did a great show, it wasn't Queen but was as close as they were ever going to get and I thank them for that.

Long live them and the memory is still strong.

Mr.Preston,

you are a total numpty mate!

you are clearly living somewhere between your rectum and your small intestine. Why don't you save your jibes for people who deserve it --- like yourself for example.

Queen played Ireland twice last week and yet again confirmed that they are unquestionably the finest live rock band in the world. So it shows you how good a job Paul Rogers did to make such an impression in the wake of the great Freddie.

you people really piss me off -- why the hell did you even go to the gig in the first place? go and chew on a wasp mate and come back to this place when you've grown up.

what a tosser!

But on the Subject of Forgetting Lyrics didn’t Freddie forgot the Lyrics to Its a hard life once and Roger forgot the Lyrics to I'm in love with my car once as well

So not everyone is perfect[/QUOTE]

well said, and on the live at wembley '86 dvd, on the footage of the friday night show, FREDDIE forgot the words to tutti frutti, so i agree, nobody's perfect.

That was a joke.

I believe that's immortalized on the "Live in Rio" tape/laserdisc/bootleg DVD.
