I saw Roger in Bath on Monday. I nearly fell off the circle balcony when I heard him singing. Why the hell is Adam Lambert still poncing about with Queen when this guy is real rock and roll and not musical theatre? When Warren starting singing Freddie’s intro to Prime Jive I thought Mercury had been reincarnated. And Rog’s voice is still amazing. 72 years old. Phenomenal.

I have been fortunate enough to see Queen live six times with Freddie … Roger was always the backbone of the vocals for Freddie. I saw Roger many years ago when he toured the UK… His voice now is nowhere near as good as it used to be…but to me ..He is a GOD…

Queen was/is a band full of extraordinary talent. Roger's voice is amazingly present throughout all of Queen's work . His solo vocal efforts for the band has given Queen fans some little gems not often heard by the general masses , e.g Tenement Funster. and here he is singing a song that I believe he penned. Really like this version. ...... Just give me an open car and some RMT tunes!

What a lovely feeling I'm left with after watching that. I first saw Roger Taylor on Swap Shop on Saturday morning TV in the 70s and he was as remarkably stunning then as he is now. He's never changed. All through my life that man has just bloody oozed talent and charisma. That voice, the songs he's written not to mention his drumming prowess. Roger Taylor is a Rock God and it's really great to see him and this great band kicking it out. I hope they tour.

Rock legend, at 72 Roger is still rocking it. And I love the new album too. The best since Happiness.

How many people actually realised that it was Roger who who originally wrote Radio Gaga? The story behind it was that he was playing with one of his children who at the time was still very young & just learning to talk and they kept saying Radio Ca-ca which was then Roger's inspiration to pen the song. Which was then recorded to their album The Works but of course the performance that really elevated it to what we know so well today was Live Aid.

What a great performance. It brought me to tears. In Freddie's absence, Roger is the right person to sing it. In fact, he was the composer of this song.

Freddie would say "oh darling, you are genius to sing our song".

Roger and Spike are always what makes this song what it is. Even when Freddie sang it, Rogers backing vox came through strong
