Arlene, you make me laugh with some of your assertions.
Bad Company had more chart success in 1970's America than the Allmans or Joe Cocker or SRV in the 80's.(And by the way saying Stevie is not blues, but blues rock is the most ridiculous thing I've heard. SRV was vintage Albert King electric blues with many a nod to Hendrix, but in a blues context).
Bad Co's first three albums charted #1,#3,#4 in the states, and their fifth album hit #3. That's four of five in top 5!
Give me one instance where the Allmans or Cocker matched that with three consecutive albums. The Allmans come closest I think with 2 consecutive barnburners in Eat a Peach and Brothers and Sisters.
PR is the definitive blues-based rock singer. The best at it bar none. Has been since 1969. His problem is that his name has always been swallowed up in the bands he was in.
He still doesn't have widespread name recognition for the most part, but that's in the process of changing as we speak.

Other great white blues/rock singers from the USA and UK that are regarded as ''all time greats'' here in the USA are....
......JOE COCKER

Arlene... read the details in what I wrote..white, blues based, ROCK SINGER.
Where can I pick up Stevie Ray's rock album??
All blues for him.
Gregg Allman??
Some nights Greg sounds great...some nights Greg has the most horrible, annoying, out of tune voice you have ever heard... and you know this is true.
Greg's voice HAS NOT withstood the test of time like Paul Rodgers...thats a fact.
Joe Cocker... hey, I love the guy... he's just not a rock singer...his albums are found in the same part of the music store as Manilow and Humperdink albums...thats not rock.
[/QUOTE]
Sharron, honey, (are you a guy or a gal lol) if you think Stevie Ray Vaughn was all blues you're insane. Have you ever heard real blues? Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jeffries, BB King a lil' later on. It's not the same type of music. SRV is blues based rock, the definition of it really.[/QUOTE]
Kdj2hot...I really wish you would quit offering up sexy talk to me...I'm the dude in Ohio you burnt Queen cds for.
To make fun of "Sharon G" for one FUCKING thread I signed in with this name....now I can't get it off my damn computer...trust me... being "Sharron G" doesn't get me horney.
Meanwhile, you won't find a Stevie Ray Vaughan album in any section or any catagory besides blues... you can scrutinize and anaylize all you want.
If you called SRV anything but a blueman to his face...he'd kick your ass.
Real Blues?? I have sat on BB King's 1966 Fender Twin amp while he's been playing...a rainy night in Columbus Ohio in 1996, at the brewery district.
Bad Company was a rock band with a blues based singer.
Stevie Ray Vaughan was a blues man, with a blues based voice.
You can't compare the two...and if you did... Paul would say "Damn. can that SRV play guitar".... and SRV would tell you what a singer Paul is. I guarantee it.

Well indeed it isn't Queen indeed. However while standing at the front in Arnhem I really got the Queen feeling. Indeed Paul Rodgers isn't as charasmatic as Freddie (But if he would be as charasmatic, I don't think there are a lot of people who would accept it) but he sings very well and entertained us very well that night in Arnhem. I do not think we can get closer to Queen than this (unless John joins).
PR's voice and style does not fit perfectly with the Queen style, but I think they've done enough to make an entertaining show. I certainly enjoyed all three concerts I attended - even the Wembley tent affair (the sound was ok!).
George Michael did his songs fantastic at the Freddie Tribute, but think about the songs he did - they're the ones PR DOESN'T do on this tour. GM is a much more soulfull singer, and I really don't think he would fit the rock side at all, and that really precludes him. And the final nail in that coffin is that he doesn't like touring (and so doesn't!).
Robbie Williams is good at what HE does, but I don't think he really fits with BM + RT. Also, in Europe, his status is such that he would feel he'd want more of his material in the show, so it wouldn't be what BM + RT were looking for in the tour.
So, on the whole, I think they made the right choice of front man, and the balance of the show with BM + RT doing vocals is quite good, although I wouldn't be upset if PR did more vocals
Finally, might I say that this thread is much more enjoyable as BPP has put forward reasoned arguments rather than nonsensical rants. More of that style please people. We all have opinions, and if we state them rationally, we'll all get along fine, whether we agree or not.

Oh god, why are you people STILL wasting your time on BPP? He has been saying the same stuff for months like a broken record. He has his opinions, just as others have theirs, so just let the guy live. And BPP, just let us live as well. Stop stuffing your opinions down people's throats as if they were more valid than theirs.
BPP would be welcome if he just excepted the fact that some people are for the tour and enjoyed the tour, but he keeps going on and on about how we shouldn’t buy this or we should go see that. Ok BPP I respect the fact u don’t like the tour or Paul Rogers there are a number of other people who share your views but don’t keep spamming or crying about if every other day if happened nothing you can do to stop it now.
For one I’m for the tour I respect Brian and Roger for doing what there do by keeping Queen and Freddie alive if there didn’t Queen and Freddie would just fade away into nothing and there wouldn’t be a new generation of Queen fan and yes I mean Queen fans not Queen+Paul Rogers but Queen

The reason I like Robbie Williams is because he entertains the crowd gets them involved and puts on a damm good show. The guy can sing and would be able to do justice(as best as you can) to Queen songs + some of his own material. However I would still not accept the show being billed as Queen + Robbie Williams. Here in the UK Robbie remains MASSIVE and because of this he warrants being TOP BILL. I think Brian and Roger would have been better accepting an invitation from Robbie to perform with him on some live shows. This way Brian and Roger would still be enjoying themselves playing live and would be selling Queen music to a new generation of fans.
The gigs could be advertised as Robbie Williams + special guests Brian May, Roger Taylor from Queen.
As for Paul Rodgers I just don't like his voice and the way he sings Queen songs. I have watched video clips of him with BM & RT and have listened to snippets of the new live CD to form my opinion. I just feel he is a bad choice of singer.
If push came to shove I would rather have someone similar to Freddie (Robbie.W)than Paul Rodgers[/QUOTE]
See? This is why BPP should always be welcome here. He does validate his arguments. Yes, his posts bother people, and sometimes I even think, "oh get a load of THIS!" to some of the things he says. Hopefully he has the same reaction to some of the things I say. BUT, the bottom line is that no one HAS to read or respond to his comments.
BPP you're OK in my book (until the next time you say . . .) ;)[/QUOTE]
He spams the board. And spammers aren't welcome in queenzone/ He's also a dickhead and this is the first time I've seen him post validly. Other stuff is just:
"Paul Rodgers sucks cock" and all that shit.

The first part I found hilarious and agree with.
The 2nd part was extreme and totally uncalled for even in jest.
