Music Queen + Paul Rodgers

[MYstIC G]

Was wondering if anyone had heard the new track C-lebrity and what your opinions of it are?

 

[Kryten]

Aye, heard that on Al-Murrays a while back.
Link for those interested: YouTube - Queen + Paul Rodgers - C-lebrity (New Track)

I quite like it. I've always admired Queen in all their iterations for their differing styles even on the same albums - soft rock, hard rock, outright anthems, operatic, pop, electronic - so many different styles often intermixed and I quite like that. Even when you're listening to something like C-Lebrity you can hear riffs now and then that instantly make you think "Ah - that's Queen!"

And it's not half bad for, lets face it, a bunch of aging rockers

 

[Tom]

I miss Freddy

 

[Kryten]

Don't we all. Huge loss to the world. Won't be a voice like his again any time soon.

 

[Sar]

About time tbh. As fucking fantastic as Freddy Mercury was, 17 years is a bit long to be out of the game mourning him, not producing new material.



Welcome back Queen \/

 

[Scouse]

Been to see Queen + Paul Rodgers and am off to see 'em again in October but, frankly, it's just not the same vocally or musically without Freddie.

The best bits are when Brian goes off on one

 

[Kryten]

A fair few people underestimate Brian May's ability, however he rates very highly for me: his music and riffs are unmistakeable in sound and make-up, he is a generally nice and actually smart bloke, and one of the most modest musicians I can think of. He still goes week at the knees when he meets the likes of Eric Clapton however many people rank them together in ability.

























And of course he has the most fantastic hair in the world.

 

[Sar]

He's far better than Clapton imho.

 

[Kryten]

Wouldn't go that far but differing styles makes it difficult to judge. I'm just glad that the likes of May and Clapton are still alive and still occasionally strumming on our radios to dilute the utter fucking puke we strangely call music these days.

 

[Scouse]

This song'll bomb though. You don't get anything taking the piss on an intellectual level nowadays.

Kids are too thick to get it...

 

[Kryten]

Yeah but the kids can just stay fucked off listening to Cheesey Pop Hits Volume 112 and Yet Another Fucking Rihanna Album. Leave proper music to proper people.

 

[MYstIC G]

They could get lucky. In the lengthy gap since the last issue a whole new generation that's potentially been oblivious to them could get caught by this.

kryt, your total disrespect of other people's likes and dislikes is really starting to get irritating.

You like red dwarf. It does not make it the best thing since sliced bread and everything else crap.

You have your taste in music, it does not make it brilliant and everything else dross. Please accept that people have different tastes than yours and live with it.

 

[Kryten]

What's crawled up your backside Ch3t?

There's no disrespect involved, people are free to listen to what they like. I was voicing my own opinion just like other people are free to voice theirs, and for me, most modern music just doesn't quite cut it. Not all of it, just most of it, especially the one hit wonders and produced hit factories. And if people like that, fine.

And I'm not sure where the Red Dwarf thing came from, same applies; I just know there's a fair few other fans on here hence creating that thread a while ago. Nothing more to it than that.

So as I said, matter of opinion and we're free to express them. I'm not having a specific dig at people as in "you listen to Sugababes therefore you're shit", so have no idea why you think I'm childish enough to lower to that standard.

utter fucking puke we strangely call music these days.

With these simple words. You just turned into your Parents. Assimilation is now complete

On the Queen thing, Nice to see them out about again. Mostly not my bag, to pop rock for me. Some Classic stuff tho.

 

[Kryten]

And just how true is that. I do often find myself looking at my old mans Chris Rea collection. I've already got the Queen, Genesis and Phil Collins discographies.
Just waiting for the days when I suddenly acquire a taste for Dire Straits, REM and the likes

 

[Uara]

Dire Straits are brilliant and im only 21

 

[Kryten]

I keep catching the "100 Most Annoying Songs" thing on BBC3 now and then and I often find myself humming to over half of them, or remembering how good they are. Dire Strait's Money for Nothing is always on it and it does make me tap my feet

Trouble is, half of those songs are on there because they were played to death rather than just being a bit Crazy Frog or Hey Mickey; Boho Rhapsody being a good example

That was me, sorry, he was bending over looking at his shandy and I just dashed up there.

I watched Queen Live in Rio the other day and I thought Brian May was amazing to watch, more so than Meg.....I mean Freddie Mercury. He did have a great voice but he also had a moustache and really hairy nipples so that kind of cancels his voice out.

Meg has hairy shoulders. And if you think he looks like freddy now, you should have seen him with his green leather jacket on.

Oh dear god above please tell me you have a picture.....say you do!

No-one seems to have mentioned Paul Rodgers in this thread

 

[Scouse]

'cause he's just not Freddie. Lets face it - as good as he is he's a very, very poor second.

 

[Trem]

Awesome voice in all honesty.

I put his name in the title, what the fuck else do you want!

Shush you furry shoulders

 

[Kryten]

Part of the charm of Queen & Paul Rodgers is the fact they're not trying to replace Freddy, they know it's not possible. Paul Rodgers knows his place and he's doing his own thing, he's not attempting to mimic the singing god and that's really a good thing. He does have a good voice in it's own right.

 

[throdgrain]

I thought and think he's a better singer than Freddie Mercury anyway. It would be the only thing that made me read this thread

Sorry, I never liked Queen

 

[MYstIC G]

I need to borrow your shotgun...

 

[bob269]

They've done a lot of crap and a lot of good stuff imo.

The Highlander/Kind of Magic soundtrack was great
