I advise you to check out the Queen + PR DVD. Paul does a great job, and he doesn't sing all the lead. Some is Roger, some is Brian, and of course Spike is playing keyboards throughout. It is great to see Roger sing in front of a Queen sized crowd! Paul sings "We Are The Champions" superbly, but the band are smart enough to know only one man can sing Bo Rhap. Freddie sings it all except the fast bit, so there's no need to worry! JG

If it hasn't come out before now, leave it in the vaults because it probably isn't very good. I'm always wary of unreleased stuff - if you haven't released it, there's probably a reason!
Personally I'd much rather Roger and Brian get together with Paul Rodgers and write a new album, and all three sing on it, just like on the tour. All of them are great songwriters and it would be interesting to see what they could come up with - especially if Spike were involved too!

Sabbath with Dio were great - and Dio in their own right are quality. Have you seen the Holy Diver live DVD? Not bad for a guy in his sixties - and he has a cold and wasn't happy with his performance on the show! Unbelievable. A true rock legend, and responsible for at least three classic studio albums, with three different bands. "Heaven and Hell", "Rising" and "Holy Diver"... three of the best albums I own.

Broken up into two sections: your favourite singers for their sheer ability and range, and your favourite for the actual sound of their voice (often two very different things).
Singers (ability) 1 - Michael Ball 2 - Glenn Hughes 3 - Freddie Mercury 4 - Jorn Lande 5 - Joe Lynn Turner
Singers (sound) 1 - Roger Taylor 2 - Eric Martin 3 - David Coverdale 4 - Tom Jones 5 - Joe Lynn Turner

I agree with that - Bon Jovi made four brilliant albums in a row, (SLippery When Wet to These Days) but their later stuff isn't so great. I'm more a Richie Sambora fan than a Bon Jovi fan as a whole. Bad Company... well, I'm a little controversial here, because I like the Paul Rodgers line up the least. I know to most people he IS Bad Co, but I thought the albums they did with Brian Howe singing were stronger (even though it didn't sound like Bad Company). And the albums they made with Robert Hart were brilliant, but they often get criticised because Hart sounds a bit like Rodgers! Still, some superb material, and they have contributed one undeniable rock classic, so 9/10. Brian May. JG
