You know, Freddie left us 14 years ago. It sucked then, and it sucks now.
Imagine being the remaining members of the band. We know they were devastated personally, but imagine how they felt professionally. Should their dreams have died with Freddie?
I don't see myself going to a Queen + Paul Rodgers concert. Not because I think Paul is trying to replace Freddie - no one can replace Freddie, or even come close - but because for me it would be too sad. I did watch their Bo Rap video and I cried through it. Pathetic, I know, but that's me.
Point it - they were great. As always. Paul is not Freddie. He doesn't have Freddie's charisma, stage presence, voice or movements. Nor does he pretend to. He's just a singer singing some songs and the audience is loving it. Beyond that, what more is there?

So what you're saying is that Queen cover bands are actually "replacing" Queen by singing Freddie's songs, by playing Brian's guitar parts? Then you, sir, are an idiot.
Not only were we able to see live performances of songs that otherwise had never been performed live by Queen, and not only were we able to see another facet of Queen through another frontman, but several other things added to my satisfaction.[/QUOTE]
What are those mysterious new songs Queen performed live on this tour? Surely you can't mean Roger's solo performance of Say It's Not True?
In fact TATDOOL, IWIA and TSMGO had more original Queen performances on the bloody solo tours!
But I'm glad you're at least admitting that Paul is in fact a member of the new Queen, and has replaced Freddie. That's the first step to recovery. :P[/QUOTE]
What I meant is you can't find Brian and Roger's solo tours on DVD. Unless you can, then my bad - scratch that point. It was one of the weaker points of the post anyway.
