Roger Taylor's Voice

If paul wasn't playing piano for borap, I think it would be a nice touch to have a grand piano on stage, with a spotlight on it, but nobody there. Then have pre-recorded piano of freddie playing w/ the matching video on the screen (at least for the first minute or so of the song). I think it would be a good tribute to freddie, and remind the crowd that somebody is missing. [/QUOTE]

Spike Edney plays the keyboards for BoRhap. Here in th UK, they use a bit of the Wembley concert when Freddie is singing it.

Same here - Freddie is on the big screen playing piano for Bo. Rhap.

all those earlier versions of i'm in love with my car are awesome!!! but do you above think that roger should have done most of freddie's parts???
strange opinions!![/QUOTE]

I think that Roger could definitely do justice to the material that isn't being done on this tour (maybe it will done for a future tour).

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]phoenixFire wrote: [/QUOTENAME]Yes I think Roger's voice is great! Very distinct
and powerful, not to mention higher than Freddie's. It would be awesome, for me, if Roger by any chance would do lead vocals for early Queen songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, Spread Your Wings, Somebody To Love, etc., in their current tour. If Freddie could sing '39 in Brian's place, why can't Roger sing BoRap in Freddie's place? Just a thought. ;-) [/QUOTE]

Almost.

Freddie's highest note was hit at the Rock In Rio blues I believe, and was a few notes above Roger's highest, and Freddie's lowest was at least half an octave lower (Bring Back Leroy Brown) I think.

I stand to be corrected. Thanks for the info
Cricket Nutter. ;-)

roger's amazing, love the way he sings queen songs on his solo tours!!

roger's voice is superb. would be interesting to hear him do other stuff

Paul Rodgers played drums on his first solo album (and all other istruments) - just so you know :)

Seems like they can all play all instruments.

...but on the other hand Cricket Nutter, what
you're referring to as Freddie's highest note
in "Rock In Rio Blues" is actually Roger's
famous "Bb4"! This is Roger's last note in the
operatic section in Bohemian Rhapsody. ;-)

...but on the other hand, what you're referring
to as Freddie's highest note hit, in "Rock In
Rio Blues" (also performed by Freddie in "Lets
Turn It On" and "See What A Fool I've Been"),

Bohemian Rhapsody. ;-)

ooops...sorry 'bout that. :-)
