I like their first album and then everything from about '85 onwards. Absolutely loathe that famous single which should not be named!

Great creative spurt in the short time before Freddie's death.

Love "I'm going slightly mad" (their last single?)- and to see his humour and love of performance in its video when it was painfully clear how he was suffering at the time.

Queen rule, no contest. Even Mick Jagger has to make way for Freddie Mercury, and Brian May is a much more interesting guitarist than keef and ron. Stones do have the better songs though.......

Queen are/were a diabolical band that should be ******** on national tv!

Does Jagger make way for the dead?!

BM makes some astounding sounds - flashy, technical wizadry with bite - but nothing that goes so deep to the core as some Keith chords/solos/riffs.

Oh, why compare? They've all given us so much.

Yet, Mick Taylor still outshines them all!

I think it's quite clear that Freddie Mercury was good, but Mick is the best ever! I used to be a huge Queen fan, have all their videos, but when I first saw a footage of a Stones concert I realized what the real thing is all about. Nobody is in the same league of Mick, as far as performing on stage is concerned, that's for sure.

Queen with Paul Rogers sounds bull$%it to me.

"got to be worked on
don't have no bark nor bite..."

It wouldn't be that bad........... if they'd just stick to some Free and Bad Co. numbers!

I. Could. Not. Agree. More.

Hate them, especially after Sun City.

Very popular though, a guy once threatened to beat me up because I said Mercury was gay, he said Jagger was. Funny how macho people can't have gay heroes or at least couldn't then.

speaking of gay look what homophobic straight men did to Rod Stewart - didn't they say he swallowed x amount of *** from his entire band and had his stomach pumped. Well, I must say if he is gay he is a great actor - look at his woman and kids........

speak of Rod - I actually think he is a better vocalist than Jagger - not songwriter or performer but vocalist. Rods vocals on Street Fight Man are awesome...........

but back to the original posting all I wanted to know was where to hear some Queen with Paul Rodgers.

Yes the first Queen album is terrific. The magical 1973 year that saw the first Aerosmith lp as well. You gotta give it up for "A night at the opera" and "News of the world". Great heavy metal band from the 70s. But who could ever compare them to (Chip Monck in voix-off) the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World .... The Rolling Stones.

First Queen album is my favorite too. Gotta love Great King Rat and Liar.

Just like the first Rod Steward album. A freaking unbelievable rock classic that is as tasty as hell! Gotta love that version of SFM. And of course my favourte Rod Stewart album ever: Gasoline Alley. Gasoline Alley is almost easily as good as anything (except Exile and Beggars and Ya-Yas and Aftermath & Sticky Fingers and Let it Bleed) that the Stones ever did.

You might have to scrape me off the floor at the end of the tour, but it'll be really good scrapings. - Mick Jagger

Han Thanks for the info - I listened to some of the clips and not very impressed. I think they could have found a more dynamic and versitale vocalist for the tour. Maybe like someone like George Michael seriously I heard some of the clips he did with them and they sounded great. But I guess he's to pop and has too much contraversy surrounding him these days.

I don't think George is any more controversial than Freddie was, but I do think that they wanted someone more dissimilar who would reinterpret the material much more radically. I also think that Brian and Roger, being the harder, rockier end of Queen, appreciate Paul's blues-based style.

The Rod stomach pump story is surely the one about Marc Almond who was alledgedly taken to hospital to have a pint of semen pumped from his gut?

Oh I remembr the story about Rod sucking off his whole roadcrew and having to have his stomach pumped. I wonder why that ever got started. Same with Richard Gere and the gerbils up his arse Hahaha. Porr little gerbil...
Rod was such a great vocalist back then. On Every Picture, Gasoline and Never a Dull Moment. He stil is great; always has been. Just got stuck doing lousy material and with terrible bands. Rememebr that guitarrist Jim Cregan who he was trying so hard to fashion into a mini Ronnie twin?
A girl I live with is a huge Queen fan so I have been introduced to much of them. And have come to appreciate Freddie a lot. Incredible singer, showman and spirited human being.The band is also prett good. i think it's a disgrace, an affront to Freddie's memory to call it Queen when playing with Paul Rodgers. Nothing wrong with them wnating to rock out; even to play the old tunes. But to call it Queen? george Michael would have beebn a lot better, that's true. I saw photos where PR even is trying to look like Freddie from back then. He's in a white bodysuit all gay and stuff LOL. Paul Rodgers...another mediocre one..

Charles Baudelaire actually died in 1867. Check your facts, plonker.
