    To be honest, as great as Queen are, they and their fans were VERY, VERY fuken lucky to get a legend like Paul singing for them in the first place - he is right up there with the very best like Ian Gillan, Robert Plant, David Coverdale etc

      Well, yeah….totally agreed. But in the studio, Freddie had few peers. His ability to sing so many different pitches, so accurately in tune, so many different tones…..But I’m not leaving Burton Cummings, Steven Tyler, Brad Delp and yeah, Don Henley off the list.

    i really love Paul Rodgers voice and lets face it if he wasnt doing this you wouldnt be able to enjoy the Queen experience at all. So he's done all you Queen fans a massive favour by stepping up so you can still relive those glory days when Freddie was still with us!! He always admitted he was no Freddie thats why he put his own spin on the songs! Enjoy but please dont diss Paul!!

      @@iorekby I have read in a few places that May was a big Paul Rodgers fan, and that on the first album he asked FM to sing a bit like Paul, but Freddie balked. Reportedly, Freddie was a huge fan of the early Robert Plant. (And yeah, why not) But I saw Queen in 1980 w Freddie, 2004 w Paul Rodgers and in 2021 with Adam Lambert. Now, face it…Lambert is damn near a super hero mutant w his vocal gifts, and I’d probably list him as the most gifted singer I’ve ever heard, male or female. But I definitely enjoyed them the most on the 2004 Q + PR show. A 2nd guitarist, more keyboards and singers, and Paul just made them a bluesier hard rock band. But let’s not mince words, without Freddie writing probably their definitive tunes, no slights to the rest of them….It is always all about the composition.

And I was staggered at Paul Rodgers' performance. Gotta be a bit scary trying to fill Freddie's shoes. But he did it superbly. Overall the sound was far more bluesy/rocky and sleazy. If anything, I thought the show was better than ever.
