      I personally wouldn’t call him “average”. He, along with John, has been called “a colossal sonic volcano whose eruption makes the earth tremble”, so he is definitely not an “average” drummer. Not the best, there are people far better, but certainly not even close to just being average.

      I once met a former coworker of his father. I think it was a few weeks ago, in fact. It was at a local record store I frequent and I happened to be buying Queen albums that day. Had a nice conversation with him, too. Told a couple work stories, mentioned going to a couple of Queen gigs when they were still performing in bars, and I found out Harold May had a nickname. As the guy left the record store that day, he said, "Remember, Harry May!" That was probably the greatest day of this year for me so far, besides getting my first guitar last week, and I'll never forget it.😌

      I see people making this comment a lot, and I think they forgot about the fact that, even when Adam started to collaborate with Queen in 2011, Roger had already been 63 by then. And although he still lead sang some of his songs (A Kind Of Magic, These Are The Days, ...), you can see that his voice started to lose its prime. And Queen songs are hard to sing, especially for Roger’s age. So it’d be totally reasonable as to why Roger doesn’t front Queen

      Roger always admitted he was nowhere near Freddie’s level of vocal skill. And Roger rightly gives Adam credit for being a better singer than he is/was (you can dislike Adam all you want, but anyone with an ounce of musical training will tell you his vocal skills are impressive). At his peak, Roger couldn’t sing a lot of Queen songs. He always had trouble singing low, his supersonic falsetto was gone by his 40s, and his voice, while still right on pitch, has gotten very thin with age. And so you know where I am coming from, though I love Freddie, and LOVE Queen as a whole, Roger is hands-down my favourite. I get annoyed to no end when people praise Freddie, but ignore Roger’s contributions. I think he absolutely was underrated (unnoticed) as a singer. I love the sound of his voice at every age, but he could never be a lead singer now.

Besides that he plays the drums and it’s nearly impossible for him to do all those things in the same time. Adam is a great singer and people should stop hating him just because he’s singing for Queen (I’m not saying that you hate him). He has an incredible vocal (better than most of nowadays singers), he’s a big Queen fan (just like us), he knows their songs and he’s a great frontman and the most important, he’s not trying to be Freddie. I respect him even tho I’m not his fan. In conclusion Roger can’t be the lead singer of Queen

    I love this video so much, I can’t tell you. Freddie’s voice is definitely better, but Roger is my favourite overall. For his vocal talent, musical talent, and who he is as a person. I seek out every little snippet where you can clearly hear his voice. Not easy, because Freddie’s mic is, for obvious reasons, pushed to the front of the sound.

    I’m a drummer and had some singing lessons to become a better backing singer and wanted to know what the note he slides up to in the middle of seven seas of rhye, it’s a high A. And he demonstrated it , I couldn’t believe it. You can’t comprehend how good RT is and it’s just natural to him 🥁❤️ 🎤 and he’s a great drummer too who has his own style.

  • @kutyakeksz

    If it come to lead singer I could have been Roger or Brian or both, their voice is better than anyone else. Brian, Roger and Freddie told in a documentary: Brian: We had a gift. We had three voices
    really blended instantly. Freddie had this wonderful crystal clear sharp vocal sound
    Roger: Naturally I have got the powerful high voice
    Freddie: He has got the dog whistle pich, very high voice
    Brian: I have got the warm sound - I suppose. If you put the 3 voice together it sounded some kind of paravision. Yes, Roger was just absolutely amazing, singing at the drumm. They were equaly good. Freddie was the best showman and had the most amazing voice, but the three of them together made it so-so wonderful.
