Queen Release New Single

Queen have announced the band's first new recording in 10 years, reports Lep.co.uk. Queen and new frontman Paul Rodgers are to release the single, Say It's Not True, on Saturday.

Recorded to mark World Aids Day, it will be available as a free download.

Queen's Roger Taylor, who wrote the song, said: "By making the song available for free, we hope to help Nelson Mandela with his campaign to get across the message that no-one is safe from infection.

"We have to be aware, we have to protect ourselves and those we love.

"The song follows the line of Mr Mandela's personal message 'It's in our own hands to bring a stop to this'."

Queen's last studio recording took place in 1997 when May, Taylor and bassist John Deacon reunited to record No-One But You, released in 1998, in tribute to former frontman Freddie Mercury, who died of an Aids-related illness in 1991.

Wow... sounds good... Paul Rodgers will never be as good as Freddie though.

[slann101]

i heard a bit of this on the news this morning...the song absolutely sucks. even brian, who is a god, managed to dissappoint. seriously guys, stop using the name queen atleast.

[vanzahan]

That's right. Queen is nothing without Freddie. He is irreplaceable

[copet]

I have to agree, its just not Queen without Freddie

[BreakingBnj]

No Freddie, no Queen, simple as that.

[Mail-OrderdMan]

Arent they all bisexual or gay?

[Shabalaba]

If Freddie did most the writing of the songs it will be a completely different band, so they should have a completely different name

[Dave Gilmour]

Queen is an epic fail without Freddie Mercury.

Yeah but he didn't write all of the songs.Some of their hits were written by other members of the band. Fat bottomed girls, who wants to live forever, We will rock you etc. Anyways I've heard Paul Rodgers sing their old material. Its just not the same.

[Xoth]

Paul does an excellent job of singing the Queen songs, but as many others have said, it's just not the same without Freddie. =(

[FreddieMercury]

Ive liked queen my whole life and sure now that freddies dead it isnt the same but, what do you want brian may and roger taylor to do with their skills? want them to just hide away and never be seen again, or continue to make amazing music? i am proud of what they did and will enjoy it.

[Bananapatata]

this isn't Queen.

lmao paul rodgers does look like him. It's kind of like ray manzerek and robby kriger doing the doors of the 21st century you know. They can do their own rendition of it but no matter what they do its not going to be the doors. Especially when it comes to losing the lead singer, and arguably the lead songwriter, it's almost a blemish on the legacy to try and continue without him. Every once in awhile a band can pull this off, I.E. pink floyd's the divison bell, some argue and say without roger waters it's just terrible. I think this is a case where it's just not the same. They should tour as "the champions" or some other queen reference. like the 21st century schizoid band for king crimson

[perilouspete]

no, it's Queen PLUS Paul Rogers.....stop making it look like they're trying to make it look like Paul's trying to replace Freddie, cause he's not in any way. Just think of it as a new incarnation of Queen and you can enjoy it.

I've loved this song since it was first introduced at the inaugural 46664 event in '03. I've always been a big fan of Roger Taylor's songwriting and, to me, this does not disappoint. I'm happy to see Brian and Roger working together again. Paul is just icing.

[FaceTomorrow]

not a very good song.

[Agony098]

Lol "Say It's Not True"...how appropriate

[SikkiNixx]

OMG they tour under the name "Queen + paul rogers" so why y'all bitchin?

[mfergel]

I still think that George Michael would have been a much better replacement than Paul Rodgers. If you haven't seen the Queen Tribute concert from when Freddie died, check out George's performance. He nailed those songs. His voice is much better suited to being in the band.

[Social D Rox]

belavista man :
Wow... sounds good... Paul Rodgers will never be as good as Freddie though

Totally agreed... Well put my friend

[SoftParade1967]

I will agree its not Queen without Freddie. But give them a break. They wanna get back out with Queen and make records. I will say Paul is doing decently well with Queen.

[Page/Rhoads]

Paul is good, but come on. No one will ever be as good as Freddie. They should at least change the name. Maybe King.

[Jondy]

oh come on, it's not like they can bring him back to life. they're just keeping his memory alive. cut them some slack seriously.

[bTOMd]

Downhere ( a christian band) could probably replace freddy mercury better than paul rodgers. Seriously the guy in that band has a voice that can really pull a Freddy. But they aren't famous so he would never be put into consideration.

as a general rule freddie wrote the crap pop tracks and brian may wrote the heavier stuff - white man/ hammer to fall/ prophets song.

and paul rogers will never be freddy. but that doesn't mean they arent good. it means theyre different.

[zalant]

I still think that George Michael would have been a much better replacement than Paul Rodgers.

Dude! I totally agree; his voice did sound great on those songs for the tribute show. And, as an extra added bonus, he's gay!! ("not that there's anything wrong with that") Replace 1 gay dude with great pipes with another. Sounds like a plan for success. (and no, I'm not being sarcastic)

Agreed, although of course Queen could hire the greatest singer in the world and people would still complain that he wasnt Freddie. But George Michael was the next best thing at the tribute concert.

I would hardly call Freddie's songs "pop crap." Perhaps you've forgotten a song called Bohemian Rhapsody, and many other greats besides that he wrote. In truth, all 4 members wrote a lot of top hits, but Brian and Freddy wrote the majority of the material.

[qotsa1998]

Idk about u, but its really cool to hear from Brian again. As far as i kno, he hasnt been doing anything new until now. Brian is an amazing guitar player. Altho, if Paul Rogers was the singer for Bad Company, they shouldve gotten some1 else IMO. No one can replace Freddie, and Bad Company had a waaay different style than Queen did in almost every way. I havent heard the new song, but nothing can replace not having Freddie in the band.

[Buttman5000]

i honestly do not like paul rodgers voice. i absoutly love queen but paul is kinda ruining it

[EllttEll]

lookin forward to it =]

please don't say that's a real question.

[patrickdenneyto]

you know, Queen is a great band. I kinda think they either should have gotten George Micheal. Actually you all have probably heard of this dude named Mika, he really reminds me of Freddie, he even used Freddie's piano to write and recor some of his stuff. He has great stage presence and he is really flamboyant, just like Freddie. Trust me, I personally think Freddie is the best male vocalist to ever walk this earth, but as musicians you all should know the drive that these people get from playing to audiences of thousands, hell I get the drive from an audience of 50 people. Cut them some slack, you all pobably think its good, your just too hung up with the fact that it isnt Freddie. Queen RULES!!!

they should have changed their name... like The Doors did. it's just not the same band.

Eee! Can't wait.

[consecutive e]

Why not charge for the song and donate the money to some kind of AIDS charity. Makes more sense than just chucking it out for free...

[lounge act]

Wow heres a video of it... Pretty bad

[Altered_Carbon]

It sounds like a pussy Queen song...If they were going to do anything, they should've done a balls-out rock song. Something glam and flashy. They're not good at being pussy.

[Rockstar112]

Queen is a great band. there's no denying that. They've sold out stadiums that hold more than half a million people. They are a band that went out and were unique. Though Freddie was behind many of their greatest hits and was a great showman the band is still good. They arent quite what they once were without freddy but they're continuing on just like Freddie would've wanted. Their not trying to be the old Queen. Their just trying to be Queen. I think they suceed.

["Tele" Steve]

You know, I think Queen need to ditch Paul Rodgers and get Mika.

there is no Queen without Freddie Mercury, his creativity, onstage presence and singing cannot be replaced. RIP Freddie

Most of them have college educations and families and stuff. They could start a new band with a different name. They could definitely find something else to do.

[tavi620]

oh my god people. of course queen isnt queen without freddie. so now after the one millionth time of someone saying it, stop f***** posting it!!! we all know! you arent shedding light on anything new! we all know its not queen. so shut up! if you have something different to say, post it. but "its not queen without freddie"....wow. thank you.....im pretty sure a thousand people before you said that. you're such a f***** genius. thank you for that in depth analysis of a rock band who lost their lead singer. we know its not the same!!! we all f-ing know! so shut the hell up!

[Big Tommy P]

Elton John would sound good. Gay guy who can also sing very well, and play piano. Perhaps if May and Taylor joined with Elton John, changed the name..?

[kilbie]

I just downloaded "say its not true" and I think it's really good.

To people who don't like Paul Rodgers:
Paul Rodgers is a good singer, although many people here are saying "its not the same without Freddie". Firstly, not everyone has been to a Queen concert, and many people who were not old enough to go when Freddy was alive can do that now.

To the people saying Queen should change there name:
Does there name matter? Not really. Its the music they make that counts. If you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it. Queen is not the same as it used to be although they are still called Queen.. GET OVER IT!!! ITS JUST A BAND NAME!!!

[kilbie]

I would like to add to the "to people who don't like Paul Rodgers"

Secondly, If Paul Rodgers was not working with Queen they probably would not have chosen another singer. You can wish that it Paul Rodgers wasn't there singer, but he still will be there singer. Instead of comparing him with Freddie, pretend Queen is a new band, one you have never heard before. If Queen was, everyone would be saying how great Paul Rodgers is, not how he isn't as good as Freddie.

[ooopyy]

there good and all but which one isnt gay i think its the drummer or singer (rip)

[fattypumbaa]

I don't think they should change the damn name I mean it's not Queen. Isn't it Queen + Paul Rodgers? Either way it's fine with me. It isn't Freddie but he's gone now. Paul is great in his own way.

[Andras5soul]

First of all, Freddy Mercury wrote the SMALLER portion of Queen songs. Brian May wrote nearly EVERYTHING, every lyric and every note. Brian May is the music genius of Queen whether some Freddy worshipers want to admit it or not. Queen is one of my favorite bands ever, and Freddy is the best vocalist and frontman in the history of the world, and I will never change my mind about that. I personally prefer the first 4 albums they wrote over anything else, but their discography as a whole is brilliant. I've seen them play with Paul Rodgers and as much as I am against him taking Freddy's place, I understand it and I'm happy for Brian May and Rodger Taylor. Freddy's death was a tragic loss, but as long as the composer of Queen's songs, Brian May lives, Queen lives. It is just a weak version of Queen because Freddy's voice cannot be substituted. However, as long as Queen lives, I will listen to it and knowing Brian May, I will most likely write it. Lets just hope no1 in Metallica or Iron Maiden dies!!!

I'm only gonna say this once. It's NOT Queen. It's QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS!

When will people realise that they are NOT trying to replace Freddie in any way, but just continue doing what they enjoy and are best at. Making Music.

I think the song's awesome. Enough Said.

Err, complete rubbish. Brian and Freddie wrote about the same whereas Taylor would write approximatley 2 per album and Deacon usually 1.

The first part, tavi, it's YOU who needs to shut the hell up. Relax. All it is is a mutual point of view, if you don't like it...be gracious and go elsewhere.

The second part, about it just being a band name, inherently yes, but it's still not entirely true. Queen is evolved into stardom as an image, with frontman (original) Freddie Mercury doing is best to promote that image with all of his heart. Paul is good, but I don't believe it's the same Queen that the image has lived up too, therefore, I too think the band name should be changed. King was hilarious, but I'm more partial to Jack. Lol.

About the band members being gay, or bi...I don't agree with homosexuality either but this does NOT take away from who they are or the legend they put themselves to be, so shut up and go speak somewhere else for your anti-homosexuality. People just don't have enough respect anymore.

[Robman2k9]

Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon are all happily married and completely straight.

Anybody whos give a **** or doesn't like because of Freddies sexuality can piss the **** off

[Andras5soul]

I listened to the song a few times. For the record, Paul Rodgers is a great singer, nowhere near Freddie, but i can't stand to see people writing he sucks, because he clearly doesn't. The song itself is very weak, very boring, with average cliche lyrics. I'm sorry to say it. The guitar solo is excellent as always on Brian's part and effects may be a little too much during the solo. I would not listen to this song EVER if it wasn't Queen, but let's hope for a better song next time around.

Have you heard Mika? He's practically Freddie reincarnated. But I do agree that going out as Queen without Freddie is a bit of a travesty. It's like Alice in Chains without Layne Staley. The new singers in both bands are good but they will never compare to the originals.

[metal-haze]

there just doing it for money... thats pathetic they should atleast form a new band with a new name or something because i think its a slap to the face to freddy mercury even tho he is dead... any and that gets a new lead singer usualy they suck the only ppl i know of that got a new lead singer that were ok are.... Van halen and alice chains

queen aint queen without freddie... and to that dude that thought freddie wrote all the song, well, brian wrote the majority of the songs, roger wrote a fair few and john wrote some... brian was the main writer behind the band... he was also originally the lead singer

No he wasnt.
They were in a different band which had a different singer, then he left, Fred joined, changed their name to Queen and went through a couple of bass players till they got John.
And as for this new song, I think its brilliant, a nice sad song!
Paul's doing fine!
