RonJonSurfer Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 According to Brian May of Queen, the band is reuniting to tour the UK with Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad Company. If it goes well a European Tour and World tour will follow. May said he was playing with Rodgers at a Fender Guitar 50th Anniversary Gig and it was all to obvious that the chemistry was there. George Michaels did some vocals with the band during the Freddie Mercury Tribute era and he wasn't bad. I think Paul Rodgers is a better fit and he has a magnificent voice.

Addictedtoclassic Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Do you think Paul Rodgers can make a medley containing "Feel Like Making Love" and "We Are The Champions"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted December 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Actually Rodgers probably never had the range that Freddie did..maybe they'll make some new songs designed to Rodgers vocals. roger Taylor can cover on the real high stuff.

If it goes well a European Tour and World tour will follow. Word on the radio today is that Paul Rodgers will not be joining Queen in this project. That's too bad if true. I was looking forward to this "reunion". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidelityfiend Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Queen is my all time favorite...i wonder how Paul Rodgers will do? IMO Paul Rodgers will be MUCH better than GM - although I am very biased because I can't stand GM (if I were king of the universe for a day I would decree that all GM and Wham music be destroyed).... should be interesting to see what kind of arrangements they do to some of the more operatic tunes in their catalog to fit Paul's vocal range. I would guess they will emphasize the bluesier aspect of Queen's music - especially since PR has been immersed in rootsy blues for the last decade.

dolphinflip Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Crosby's as well as Nash's high pitch voices are unique even at their present age ...could easliy take on the songs of Mercury. who could not sustain his pitch at latter age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
