I have read some of the comments about the gigs and it seems that some of you didn't give the man a chance. Paul Rodgers is a rock legend. Free were one the very best bands of the 70's and he is acknowledged as being one the the truly great rock singers of all time. Rod Stewart himself said that Paul was his favourite singer. I have saw Queen when they first started out and they were awesome then. Freddie is a legend and will never be replaced, but if you wanted someone to front the band then you might as well go with the best available. An oldie like does tend to treat the true giants of rock with some reverence and Paul is up there with them. Roll on Saturday when I will see the band at Cardiff.

He was brillint. Some of the songs I actually enjoy more than with Freddie (AKOM for instance...)
*waiting for the stones*
I also think this is a better tour than Works or magic...
*more stiones, i'm sure*
I don't care what it's called- I'm part of it, as a sucker who travells to many gigs. About Works I can only read, maybe listen to few bootlkegs at home... I can however sing wirh Roger Im In Love With My Car or with Paul- Fat Bottomed Girls...
I was always supporting this tour. After seeing two gigs- I KNOW it's brillint. And what others think? Why would I give a f***?

Rock legend I don't think so
I have never heard of him mentioned in the same league as:
Mercury
Daltery
Jagger
McCartney
Lennon
Elton John
Hendrix
Clapton
Elvis
Plant,Page
The above are rock legends and I'm afraid Rogers doesn't even come close to matching any of the above. AND the above are famous for several different songs not just "All right now"
Daltery
Who is it? Who is Daltery...?
And Page is not a singer, you moron...

As a rock legend vocalist, only Mercury himself can match him from your list. Rodgers is the rock singer's rock singer. Wembley '92 proved that Freddie could not be replaced ... the biggest names around couldn't fill the void. But Rodgers is in a different league to most rock singers.
Daltery

The issue was ROCK LEGENDS not just singers. Read before you comment!

1. I repeat my question- who is daltery
2. No- it WAS about legends, but specifically- about singers and frontmen. Read the first post as a whole, not only as an excuse to post another pointless shit against the Tour, Paul, Queen RIP 1991, etc...
Calm down it is only a commercial. All the people mentioned are indeed rock legends and Paul is amongst them. You only have to see from the countless rock complilations that All Right Now is always included. I would also ask peeps to listen to Fire and Water album and Free Live to see what a true great he is. I do accept that we are talking about something released 30 odd years ago, but he is still worthy of a bit of consideration.
I don't care how much of a legend he is, but here's what I have to say...
I didn't have any expectations about him, but he was absolutely fantastic performing, especially his own songs. In my opinion (a Queen fan for almost fifteen years) he stole the show from Brian & Roger.
Sorry guys!

...well, I wouldn´t say that he "stole the show", but he sure did a hell of a job... and he did it "his way"! I really loved it.... thank you Paul Rodgers!!!!
But, by the way, does anyone of you know, why he wasn´t invited to participate at the Tribute Concert in 1992? Seems strange to me, as I read that Freddie was such a great admirer, fan of his work and voice? ;-)

Don't worry, they're touring later this year.
"Don't worry, they're (The Stones) touring later this year."...
...and there are rumours going around in showbiz that John Deacon will be their "new man on bass"!
Thats what I call a deal.... :-))

Freddie had more talent and class in one foot than Paul Rodgers has in his whole body!
Legends live on and cannot be replaced.
I am reading in newspapers and hearing on the
radio how Paul is replacing Freddie. This upsets me.
Sorry.
No Freddie + No John = NO QUEEN
Freddie 1991
WE love you and miss you.

I must say after going to the Manchester gig I am now Paul Rodgers fan! I cant imagine anyone else singing with Queen and pulling it off like he did. I'm off to HMV tomorrow to buy a couple of Free/Bad Company albums.
QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS ROCK ON!!
QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS ROCK ON!!

Now you're starting to assasinate Paul's character
and say he has no class? What did he ever do to you?
Why don't you direct your blind anger towards Brian for playing that Fender guitar gig. That's where he first jammed with Paul and got the idea in his head for a collaboration.
You are such a pathetic small-minded, immature, and classless person. If you are anything like your screen persona I bet Freddie would've had nothing to do with you.
Freddie wrote a song about people like you.
It's called Death on Two Legs.
Listen carefully to the lyrics of that song
and then think about the negative trash you spread around here. Ask yourself if Freddie would really approve of the way you act.
