"It's pretty funny how people are all up pauls ass because he's singing with brian."
I read this and had a good chuckle. I'm sure there's a couple of million people who'd disagree with the verity of this statement, but hey! Just because they liked the guy and bought his music years before he joined Brian and Roger, doesn't mean they know anything, right?
"This forum has turned into the paul rodgers site"
Stupid thing to say. We'd be close minded if we couldn't look at other musicians and acknowledge them for what they are. Paul Rodgers is a good singer. Not the best, and really not my type. But he's good.
"it's a shame because it was freddie, brian, roger, and john who were the ones who made that great music together."
... yeah. Well - you know, I don't see any problem with people covering Queen music (bar Bohemian Rhapsody - if you love this song, DO NOT COVER IT). They either fail dismally, and people go out and listen to the real thing, or they'll play it well, and people will get a good show out of it.
Your stance reminds me of "Brain Damage" - why grow such lovely grass and NOT LET PEOPLE WALK ON IT??
There are other things out there, go and enjoy them. All the old Queen albums are there if you want to reminisce (as I do, regularly!).

I meant on "this site" people are up his ass and never mentioned paul before he hooked up with queen. It was always freddie vs robert plant, never was paul in the discussion of greatest singers ever. I personally don't have a problem with paul, he's a good enough guy and vocalist. I grew up hearing his music in the 70's, but never liked him enough to buy his music. paul is respected in music, but when the subject turns to mercury people have that look "he's a musical god" like hendrix or the who. people like "knute" and "Sir" drive me crazy because I never seen a person put down hendrix on a hendrix site or rip kieth moon on a who site, this is a fucking queen site!...I come hear to talk about queens music not paul rodgers.

"I come hear to talk about queens music not paul rodgers."
Your post is all fair enough. However, this one comment makes me think - why look in a thread that is discussing the new album? Since it probably won't have Freddie on it, one would take it for granted that we might be talking about another singer.
Fair crack of the whip though, I understand getting annoyed at excessive discussion of 'other musicians'. But, I suppose, don't take it too hard? Discussion of other bands sometimes livens things up a bit.

Oh quit your fucking whining mike hunt.
I don't put down Freddie at all.
Read my post again carefully.
Just because I don't kiss your ass and agree with your opinons doesn't mean I'm putting Freddie down.
Gee, I dare say that Paul sang notes higher than Freddie live.
Boy, I should be nailed to a cross for that.
Do you just want a bunch of clones of yourself? Does it really upset you that people like Paul Rodgers on a Queen site?
I suppose you could be right about one thing,
look:http://www.queenzone.com/queenzone/forumnew/forum_view.aspx?Q=10
Where's all the conversation about Queen since PR ruined it all? *rolls eyes*
I can't stand people who try and shift the meaning of someone's statements in an effort to polarize a messageboard or win people to his side.
It's the biggest form of pussy bullshit IMO.
I dare you to point out where I put Freddie down.
I'll be waiting for the quotations and analysis.

Let me tell you something, If I was a youngster who came to this site to find out about the genious of queen, I would come away thinking never to buy music from this average band. The lead singer has little talent, most of their albums are crap like the game, hot space, the works, magic and the miracle (almost half their albums) with crappy drum work and weak guitars. Am I saying I like every song and every album?...no, but at least show them some respect by not calling half of their albums crap. You don't see this on the judas priest or Iron maiden sites, Why?....because they have respect for their favorite band. People like "Sir, knute, fendrick, and a few others are the root of the problem. I like to think Mike hunt is doing a good thing for Queenzone and queen by getting rid of the garbege that has taken over this site.

Thanks for the laugh.
What a bunch of exaggerated, over-the-top, self-important delusional garbage.
If that youngster you speak of had any brains he would see right thru your silly little megalomaniac diatribe.
Also, what a typical weak response from a liar:
"Oh I won't search thru your posts."
The reason you won't is because you'll never find a quote from me saying that half of Queen's albums are crap or you will never find a post from me putting Freddie down. I have a ton of respect for him. He was the first rock singer I ever saw live.
You're exactly the head-stuck-up his own ass type of Queen fan I can't stand.
Jackass!
