Queen purists - listen again!.......2007-06-23
They are the Champions in my book!.......2007-03-10
I don't think anyone intended to try and replace Freddie during this match up, because they know you couldn't. These are all fine musicians who just want to play music. I think Paul Rodgers is a perfect new mate for this band, and I personally like it better than before. I've always been a fan of a deep, sexy rock-n-roll voice, and Paul is #1 when it comes to that. So I give this a 5 in my book and I have shown my friends the DVD and they all quickly became fans as well. Job WELL done guys! I can't wait for MORE!!!!

*Homage to Freddie and Perpetuation of Artistry*
The world loves Freddie Mercury and I wept openly when he died and still do when I see a clip or video of him even today over fifteen years later. It was a glorious era that ended tragically and prematurely. To this day "Who Wants to Live Forever" and "Love of My Life" tear me up.
When I saw Paul, Brian and Roger perform at the VH1 Rock Honors I became emotional because I respect and revere these gentlemen. They are the idols of most of the rockers today. Their combined effort is a tribute to Freddie, their music, and each other.
Metaldiva Sez: This is ESSENTIAL for every classic rock fan, and never disappoints from beginning to end. This is not a swan song, revival or revamp, but a different and totally enjoyable new way to love already revered artists. Get a copy of this CD and the DVD as well..
**PS Rumor has it they are considering a studio offering of all new material in the future..Go for it gentlemen!
The Show Goes On?.......2007-01-17
Return Of the Champions: Queen's 2006 live record, is a double album that tries to bring out a new generation of Queen fans all over. The double record includes so many great tracks recorded with Paul, as well the feeling of a grittier voice than Freddie. Although he tries well, the feeling just isn't the same. The album includes a lot of great tracks including Bohemian Rhapsody, The Show Must Go On, and a well-rendered voice on the sports anthem We Are The Champions. Although the record fairs well, I just honestly wish that more classic songs could've been performed like Bicycle Race, Killer Queen, and The Invisible Man to name a few.
All in all, Return Of The Champions isn't actually a definitive Queen record, but it is nice to actually see them out in the open as Rock royalty. If you're new to Queen's music, I really don't suggest you get this record, as much as you being a die hard fan, because so many aren't used to Paul. Hopefully, if they collaborate on something new, than maybe they'll hit the nail on the head.

How was this allowed to happen?.......2006-12-19
I still can not figure out why this abomination was deemed a good idea. It is obvious why John Deacon was not involved.
If Queen had really wanted to regroup with a new singer perhaps they could have persuaded George Michael to perform vocals. (I know, not a macho pick, but his style was perfect for Queen.) I will pretend this CD was never released and continue to listen to these artists as separate, distinguishable bands.
What next - The Cars regrouping with Todd Rundgren on vocals?

The best album of 2005, hands down.......2005-11-07
INTRODUCTION:
One of the most crushing blows to the rock and roll world was the death of Queen's Freddie Mercury. When Mercury died, Queen disbanded, not wishing to go on without the man that made the group so successful. Over the years, though, the former members of the group had thought about touring again. None of these plans, though, ever truly came to be. That is, until, they considered a collaboration with Paul Rodgers, the legendary classic rock singer, best known for his work as lead vocalist of Bad Company. John Deacon apparently wasn't interested in this project, but despite that, Paul Rodgers, Brian May, and Roger Taylor joined forces and began touring. Read on for my review of the appropriately-titled live album, Return of the Champions.
OVERVIEW:
-Return of the Champions was recorded May 9, 2005 at the Hallam FM Arena in Sheffield, England.
-The album, consisting of two CDs, was released on September 13, 2005.
-The group for this album consists of Paul Rodgers on vocals, Brian May on guitar, and Roger Taylor on drums.
-The backing musicians are Spike Edney on keyboards, Jamie Moses on guitar, and Danny Miranda on bass.
REVIEW:
When I had heard that Queen had reunited with Paul Rodgers as their new vocalist, I was ecstatic. Queen was one of my favorite bands of all time, and Paul Rodgers was one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Having these musical powerhouses joining forces seemed like a sure-fire win-win situation. For months I waited for the live album the group would be releasing. I was counting down the days, eagerly anticipating its release. And then, it arrived. I popped the discs in my CD player, and quickly discovered that my predictions were true - this was a rock and roll MASTERPIECE. Paul Rodgers and the former Queen members had kind of faded into obscurity in the nineties, and it's great to see these musical geniuses finally get a much needed revival in their popularity. The first thing you'll notice on this recording is that their music-making abilities have NOT diminished - not in the least. Paul Rodgers sounds every bit as good as he did in the seventies. Brian May's guitar skills sure as hell are as good as ever, and Roger Taylor still plays percussion like no other. The backing musicians must also be given some credit - despite being unknown in the music industry, Spike Edney, Jamie Moses, and Danny Miranda all do their jobs excellently. The tracklist itself is also solid. Obviously, the vast majority of the album is devoted to the band performing Queen classics from the band's seventies and eighties heyday, but Paul Rodgers brings some of the songs from various phases of his career into the picture as well. The performance itself is AMAZING. Every song sounds great, and it's nice to hear a new spin on these classic tunes with Rodgers doing the vocals. Many of these songs sound better with Rodgers singing than the old Freddie Mercury versions did (I know I might take kind of a backlash from Mercury loyalists for that remark, but I don't care!) I do have a few minor complaints with the album, but they are such small complaints that they aren't even worth mentioning here. This is, hands down, the top album of 2005. Why can't people make music like this anymore?
EDITION NOTES:
This album was released not long ago (at the time I write this review), so availability should be no issue if you want to purchase it. I was dissatisfied with the packaging, though - rather than a jewel case, the band did one of those cardboard packaging jobs. Because of the way it is constructed, the liner notes can fall out rather easily. Take my advice - get the album at Best Buy, because you get an exclusive DVD if you buy the album there.
OVERALL:
Everything I can say about this album has been said. If you want a rock and roll masterpiece the world hasn't seen the likes of in many years, Return of the Champions is just what you need. Whether you're a fan of Paul Rodgers, Queen, classic-style rock in general, or any or all of the aforementioned factions, BUY THIS ALBUM. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. I give the album both my highest recommendation, as well as my pick for 2005's album of the year. Five stars all the way. Well, what are you waiting for? Buy it NOW!
