He's well known enough from his time as lead singer of Free, and Bad Company. And also his work with Jimmy Page. People go to Queen concerts to hear Queen songs though. So of course he's not going to get so much applause.
Yes, that`s true. But i think it is only the beginning. If they continue together and succeed they may become popular as a new band and people, not only Paul`s fans, will come to love Paul and will go to listen to him. Now his experience in Bad Company is felt in the new album. And the question is: Is it a Queen album by influence or a Paul R`s album? Whose influence is greater?
Another question is if they have the right to call themselves Queen+Paul Rodgers. The problem lies in the word Queen in the name. There are only two guys from Queen, though, in fact, four used to make the band called Queen. Maybe they should call the group May, Taylor and Rodgers?
This question is connected with the thread about Led Zeppelin if they sang without Robert. Could the band call themselves Led Zeppelin? Can Queen+P.R. call themselves Queen?
"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."
"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."
"I'm Joe English and I'm from Glasgow, Scotland." xD
The album is out now but you will have it in the USA, as far as I know, in a month. It really is good rock, some that you want to listen to again and again, with heavy songs, just rocky and nice melodies as well. Just as I like it, diverse.

I am happy for you but downloading is not the best way to go. Besides you could have done it long ago and now it`s a bit late to boast when everybody has already listened to it.
Cosmos Rocks booklet says that all tracks are written by Queen+PR, no specification who wrote which song. Special thanks are to John Deacon and then come other people. It is written that the album is dedicated to Freddie Mercury.
Now Queen+Paul Rodgers are rocking Great Britain. People say that the concerts, for example in Glasgow, are great and the audience is very responsive and enthusiastic. I wonder if any of you British have been to the concerts? I know that Queen is most loved in Britain. The USA is rather indifferent to it.
The greatest attendance at the concert during the tour was in Argentina and the audience was very enthusiastic. As far as I know Queen is loved in Latin America mostly for their glamorous style, brightness and festive spirit. The tour is still on. What stamina the guys have!
