Pete Ripaldi, from Hot Leg (a band Justin Hawkins had at the time, when he was away from The Darkness. They opened Extreme's concert that night... I was there, I can't forget it :) )
This is one hell of a cover. Saw These Guys At Newport on the tour. They were awesome. Just like they were back in the day. Met them after the show and they were great to talk to. Spoke for about an hour. Cant wait for the next tour.
Tell me about it. I was at this concert, but everybody can go to wikipedia and look how cool the Astoria was. Certain things, when gone, cannot be replaced, unfortunately :(
i just cant believe justin is singing with extreme.. didnt even know they had heard of him.. doesnt sound too bad but sad to here xtreme still doing the bit they did at freddie mercury tribute concert.. was much better then when i went to see it... seems to have lost some of the magic it once had.. will be good to see what extreme do next (as in another album perhaps?)
Okay. So either I've got some health problems concerning my ears, or THEY PLAYED THE FUCKIN ORIGINALS IN THE BACKGROUND D: Why would anyone cover a song while playing it louder than they sang...? Makes me a bit pissed, cause however Freddie will be the first in my heart forever, I love Justin and wanted to hear him perform... Really, the only person whom I WANT to record a proper Queen cover xD Anyway, ROCK ON JUS
I love how wrong you are, and even though you didn't intend it to, your comment actually proves how good a performance was... that you thought you could hear the originals haha
@SigandGibbs Fourth: you're wrong: Brian May asked Adam Lambert to front Queen and he turned them down. Fifth: Paul Rodgers voice is very taxing after more than one or two songs - a LOT of people don't rate him. He has a few very adamant fans (like YOU) who make a lot of noise about his so-called greatness, but really... what has he done lately that was worth a damn? Nothing. And he sounded like shit on those Queen "collaborations"...he was a disgrace to Freddy, in fact. Justin is BETTER
Whatever..."Queen" without any of the feeling, usually associated with Queen. "Good karaoke", if I was in a good mood today. Gerry Cherone misses the phrasing in "I want to break free", as usual (i.e. like he did on the F. M. tribute concert in Spring 1992). I'm thinking about the phrase, around 00:23): "you're so self-satisfied, I don't need you". Freddie Mercury sings that phrase: "I want to break | free from your life, you're so | self-sa' tiiis-fied, I don't | need you".
Again great version just like 1992. Justin has a very weak voice and he sings falsetto all the time. Gary's voice is still better. more clear and solid. I love this jam!
HUGE QUEEN Fan, I get so Pissed when people cover and destroy them, this is the 1ST TIME I"M HAPPY ABOUT IT! THESE GUYS ROCKED IT OUT! BRAVO!!!!
He should be the new lead singer
I so loved the medley at the original tribute show. Probably wore out the VHS watching it so much lol.
I love this. Gary Cherone is an amazing singer.
Justin for Queen Singer!!!
Seriously! Lambert is way too Glee/ Vegas show.
Justin could be both Freddie and Brian may rolled into one
Justin Hawkins have the falsetto voice like Freddie Mercury.
I love all the die-hard Queen fans on here that spell Freddie's name as "Freddy".
Lance E 7 years later and your probably still worrying about how die hards are spelling King Fred's name...

I would wanna hear Justin Hawkins do a recorded song by Queen. That would be awesome. :)
This is... absolutely beautiful
This is one hell of a cover. Saw These Guys At Newport on the tour. They were awesome. Just like they were back in the day. Met them after the show and they were great to talk to. Spoke for about an hour. Cant wait for the next tour.
No, thank you, your footage is fantastic. To think this performance could have been only a memory.
Thx for sharing this video!!!
nice job!!!
greetings!!
Was at this gig too. amazing
Thanks again for this ... gave me goosebumps when you first showed it to me :-)
awesome edit! as always :-)
Não poderia ser diferente!!!! Todos incríveis!!!!
Whoah, this is cool!
Really COOL
Very good!!!
I wish I was there also....
Hope they come to Brazil...
Tell me about it. I was at this concert, but everybody can go to wikipedia and look how cool the Astoria was. Certain things, when gone, cannot be replaced, unfortunately :(
really wish i was there.
sweet
@fayet16 Thanks a lot!
@Burqua12 - Are you serious?? Gary sings his own style. It's not a Freddie imitation contest. Hell, Freddie changed his phrasing live constantly.
great! pat badger is bad ass! wish i was here.
Take my old babies and give me new ones. Yours.
@chrismallyon - I don't think Justin rehearsed with them. He probably just wanted to hang loose and have a good time.
Justin ROck!!
i just cant believe justin is singing with extreme.. didnt even know they had heard of him.. doesnt sound too bad but sad to here xtreme still doing the bit they did at freddie mercury tribute concert.. was much better then when i went to see it... seems to have lost some of the magic it once had.. will be good to see what extreme do next (as in another album perhaps?)

I miss The Astoria, It's now a pile of rubble, being converted into a new train line.
Who are the extra guitarists?
I wondered what ha happened to Hawkins .
Can anyone explain to me who the guy with the bandana is? I always thought Justin sang alone.
Gary Cherone
You are wrong, there is a guy with a Les Paul... and he's not Nuno.
Yeah I disagree too. Especially on this video :/
Don't get me wrong though, Justin has one hell of a voice, I just like Cherones more :D
Why isn't he recording with Queen?
@grr619 Wha??There are no extra guitarists.
It's Nuno Bettencourt. No other guitar players required.
I love how wrong you are, and even though you didn't intend it to, your comment actually proves how good a performance was... that you thought you could hear the originals haha

Was it all worth it?
Freddie* True wiki fan here ^ 😂👏
@jarojaro2285 ehm..
F..k Exteme rock do`s anyone know if they are going to do a DvD of this tour .
disagree
what is the problem with Justin, you must not know shit about vocals if you cant see what he added to that performance, not to mention his vocal range
And that is EXACTLY why Brian May invited them to play the Tribute show and record with them, cause Gary is an awful singer. Right???
Whatever..."Queen" without any of the feeling, usually associated with Queen.
"Good karaoke", if I was in a good mood today.

Freddie Mercury sings that phrase:

Can't you edit Justin Hawkins out of this?? Fuck sake
wow. unless he's singing falsetto justin has an incredible weak voice!
Again great version just like 1992. Justin has a very weak voice and he sings falsetto all the time. Gary's voice is still better. more clear and solid. I love this jam!
This is just a mess of medley, the singing is not very balanced. No one shines.
