I hear Queen rarely...

When is the last time you heard about Queen postponing a show?

 I hear Queen rarely...

By choice or through mainstream media? Perhaps things are different over
your side of the pond. Queen are probably the most played band on radio and
tv in the UK alongside The Beatles ( Queen`s Greatest Hits is the best
selling album of all time in the UK...no ACDC album is in the top 50....and
you`d pretty much *never* heard ACDC on mainstream radio here ).

I`ve lost track of what this current incarnation of Queen is up to ( the one
with 2 original members that occasionally plays big arena shows with a
different singer ) but Queen as an ongoing project ceased to be about 17
years ago when Freddie Mercury died. They generally used to play huge
stadium shows in their last 5-6 years and I don`t remember them being famous
for cancelling shows or anything...but then I never did see them live..

They were touring with Paul Rodgers and even recorded an album with
him, under the moniker of Queen and Paul Rodgers.  It was quite
forgettable.  Recently their collaboration with Rodgers has come to
end, and I haven't seen anything since.  Not that I am avid follower
of May and Co's every activity.

Thank God that it came to an end cause Rogers was butchering the Queen
songs. I also agree that the studio collaboration was very
forgettable. Does anyone know who played bass while they were Queen
and Paul Rogers cause I know that John Deacon refused to do it. He
stated in an interview a while back that he didn't think it was
appropriate.

While I love Rodgers in Free and Bad Company he just didn't fit
Queen.  Mercury and his voice is just too iconic for anyone else to do
it justice.  Even if they got Percy (Robert Plant for the
numpties...), who I regard as the best vocalist ever, even he
couldn't fit into the role.  Not that I think Mercury could do LZ
justice either.  Some bands have iconic singers that just can't be
replaced.

I have no idea who the bassist was.  I think Deacon was right at the
end of the day (with the benefit of hindsight, obviously), the project
with Rodgers just didn't work out, but kudos to May and Taylor for
having the balls to try.

When I look at the recent thread lists on my front page I can see 7 JP
related threads.  When I look at AMS, I see two on topic threads and
one of those is about one of the new tracks being released.  You guys
are way more on-topic, or at least have more JP related threads.
Quite scary.
Off-topic discussions keep our groups going and why NG's of more
commercially successful bands like Metallica and Maiden have died out.

so did you get to meet Halford?  Also I dont follow the trick or
treater thing.  I can verify you have been around a very long time.  I
lurked for a while and started posting way back in 2000.  My first
post was a review of the 2nd American Halford show when he opened for
Maiden.

I also liked Paul with Free and Bad Company, its just like you said,
he didn't fit the Queen songs/music. He just doesn't have Mercury's
abilities but he sounded good with Free and BC.

  Udo can't really sing, either.

Tom

it's an acquired taste, but I think it qualifies at singing.   Udo is
the type of vocalist that you either love or hate.  He is also the
only old school vocalist on the list whose vocals have improved as
he's grown older, so that is saying something too.

  He's a good metal vocalist, but singing is a stretch. I haven't
heard his more recent stuff, so I don't know how improved he is.

Tom

Have you heard Udo's collaboration with Doro on a cover of "Breaking
The Law"?  Not exactly recent.

  I haven't heard a new Udo album/song in it's got to be 15 years.
I have Animal House and Mean Machine. I believe I heard one album
after that, and then we parted ways so to speak. I don't think I've
listened to those albums once since then.

No, I never did get to meet Rob and the closest I got to him was
feeling his fingers as he held the hand tightly of a female at New
York City's Roseland Ballroom.  After he let go, venue security took
her away and rightly so since it was hot in that venue.  I was
starting to feel faint/overheated and moved to where there wasn't much
people and cooled off.
  Definitely good show.  For him solo and also Judas Priest with Tim
Owens, the smaller venues were perhaps the better performances I've
ever seen of both.  I still remember what was it, 2002 or 2003 when I
saw Judas Priest three times in three days:  New York City,
Philadelphia at the Electric Factory, and Washington, D.C. at the now-
defunct venue that is where the Washington Nationals ballpark is.

  By random listens of the radio in my car, the only time I really
ever listen, I hear Queen a lot, and AC/DC a lot.

I don't remember seeing this on a.m.j.p., and would be curious to see
some lists.

Not limited to metal - your favorite vocalists of all time, regardless
of the music.

Guess I'll start:

1. Louis Armstrong
2. Lisa Gerrard
3. Johnny Cash
4. King Diamond
5. Sinead O'Connor
6. Jaz Coleman
7. Jim Morrison / Jeff Martin (yeah, I know...)


Funny how I hate Jim Morrison but think Jeff Martin is awesome.

for me the first singer is ripper owens !!!!!
