Queen and Paul Rodgers
 

Saw them wednesday night at the MEN Arena.

Absolutely awesome, no other way to describe them really :notworthy

Anyone elso go? Or going to see them elsewhere?

If not, beg, borrow, or steal so you can get tickets to see them!

John.

Cool!

Good night then? How does it compare to Freddie?

Is this the guy that sung in the musical?

No, he was the singer in Bad Company and Free.

Ah gotcha!

I know someone with 2 spare tickets for the Hyde Park gig in July, £55 a pop.

If anyones interested PM me.

went to see them when they played the Brixton Academy a few weeks back(fan club only), and Paul was ok, looked like he needed some practice at Queen songs though, hopefully hes got that now. He was much better when they did a few Bad Company songs so he has it in him. However NO ONE is gonna replace Fred...

Im sure hes thankfull of that! Dont think id want to host those kind of "partys" either ;)

:lol:

You don't say, one of the best voices in rock!!


err...

Very good night.

WRT comparing to Freddie, he's made no secret of doing things his own way, and not trying to be a direct replacement for him and his style (If that makes any sense). He even took a step back at times to let the audience do the vocals.

They didn't even try to compete with Freddie for Bohemian Rhapsody, so they showed a video of him playing the piano & singing while they played along. :thumb:

John.

Amazing :)

Certainly was :D

John.

I saw the show last weekend in Belfast - absolutely awesome .

Paul Rodgers was no replacement for Freddie but how can you replace the irreplaceable ?

But Paul proved that he has one of the best voices in rock by singing the Queen sons in his own style . When he performed Free's all right now during the encore it brought the house down .

Brian May entertained us with a brilliant guitar solo & all through the night he proved why he's one of the best in the world .

Roger Taylor is looking a bit overweight & tired but he still put in a great performance on drums as well as singing some of the songs . Personally I would've preferred Paul to sing instead as Roger ain't got the greatest voice .

Anyone know why John Deacon isn't playing on this tour ?

Highlight of the night was Brian sitting alone on stage with the empty stool beside him singing 'Love of My Life' for Freddie . Half the audience was singing & the other half were crying , especially when they showed film of Freddie on the movie wall . A very moving & memorable moment .

I was too young to see Queen the last time they played Ireland ( Slane '85 ) so I never got to see Freddie live but this concert ranks as 1 of the best I've ever seen .

I would recommend any to go out now & buy tickets for their Hyde Park gig on 8th July .

From what I read, John Deacon has simply retired from live performance ....
