Queen with Paul Rodgers...

[sparkle2]

Heard them on tv a few days ago - what do ya'll think? I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I'm a big Queen fan and when I heard about that I just thought, oh, boy, it's Journey all over again. But it's not - they sound good. Different, but good. There was an interview with Paul Rodgers and they asked him if he was afraid Queen would be like other bands who had unsucccessfully changed lead singers. (they didn't come out and say "like Journey" but it was there!) and he said no because he was doing his own thing, not trying to replace Freddie because no one could replace Freddie. He said that he respected the music and respected Freddie. I'm no critic but I kind of think they'll make it. There could be a lesson in all this for SOME people, not mentioning any names of course **cough, cough, nealandjon, cough, cough**.

I love - LOVE - Queen.
No one will ever be able to replace Freddie.
How tragic.

I wish Brian, Roger, and Paul would form a group - release some fresh material - and then if we wish play some Queen, Bad Co., or Firm at concerts or even "cover" a song or two on a project of new material.

Brian May is extremely talented and I loved the Star Fleet stuff of his. Honestly I have never been a fan of Rodgers but to each his own.

As with our own familiar story - do the group's legacy justice - and leave it alone - as for the group name and trying to sub-members. (other ex. Styx (PLEASE!) and Foreigner)
