Not bad, eh?

Now Brian May was supposed to be here tonight, but he's laid up in Lisbon with a nasty case of food poisoning.

However, drummer Roger Taylor ordered something else off the menu last night, so he is with us.

Is he alright?

Um, he's just texted me actually.

He'd better be alright by tomorrow, because we're playing in Germany.

Oh, I said he was going to say.

You were playing in Lisbon.

We were playing in Lisbon on Saturday night.

That's right.

So you missed the live evening part of Live 8, but you saw the daytime stuff, didn't you?

Exactly, yeah, we were watching it in the day.

So you missed The Who?

I missed The Who, The Pink Floyd, Sting.

We were just saying, tell us what you think about this.

Queen sounds great there, you sound stronger than ever.

Even without Freddie, you sound really strong.

Watching The Who, which you didn't see, you must watch a tape of it, watching The Who on Saturday night, we were struck, a lot of people, young people were struck by how hard the rock drive was.

I mean, Pete Townsend attacked his electric guitar like no other kid on the stage.

He was just doing everything like he used to.

It's fantastic.

Do you think it doesn't really seem that good rock

and roll like Queen like who liked even deep deep purple in America They play better as they get older.

It's weird.

Maybe but Pete Townshend always did play incredibly He's just he's just got this fire inside him

and he sort of conducts everything with his guitar as well Yeah, but do you agree with that the old that the older rock?

Yeah, I think there's a city wilting I suppose the survivors, you know Yeah I do, yeah.

I mean, there was something special about that generation, I think.

Yeah, I agree.

My generation.

That actual fusion that we just saw there with Paul Rogers and Brian and Queen, that's extraordinary.

I mean, I was a fan of Queen, I was a huge fan of Free.

I would never, ever, ever have expected the two styles to mesh.

But they do, don't they?

They do.

It works extraordinarily well.

It's quite an incendiary mixture actually and it's pushing us slightly towards bluesier and edgier and it really worked well,

but you know we weren't looking.

Paul just sort of appeared and...

Was there a charity gig you did with him or something?

Yeah, Brian did a show with him I think for a guitar show or something and...

Hall of Fame, that was it.

Yeah, and said well this is great, it just worked well and I think this could work, you know.

Did you believe him at first?

Well, I mean we were all great fans of Free and Paul Rogers and especially Freddie actually.

Freddie was a huge Paul Rogers fan.

He's got a kind of controlled violence in his voice, hasn't he?

He also has a beautiful tone and a sort of blues edge that...

Just one of the best voices around, you know.

And where's the tour?

You've been on tour for quite a while now with him.

Yes, we did about 30 dates, indoor dates in Europe and we've just started, we've just got these four final outdoor dates,

and we're in Hyde Park on Saturday.

Right.

You're selling out?

Doing pretty good.

I mean, we've had a lot of competition lately, but doing very well.

But we have Peter Kay, which I think is a great mix.

What's he going to do?

He's not Amarillo again.

Just be Peter Kay.

I don't know.

He's not stopping you.

He does it everywhere now.

He's going to do a comedy routine, but we have Razorlight as well,

Yeah, they blew the boat fantastic on Saturday and a couple of guys from the darkness well, there's some actually remember Freddie a bit Yeah, okay um bicycle.

I want to ride that that is the weirdest rock song ever It is actually a strange song.

It's Freddy's idea actually

that member the tour de France was coming by our hotel in Switzerland Right and he was absolutely

Fascinated by and just said I got this odd idea idea um I was thinking of what this song is,

call it Bicycle Race, and in the middle there'll be a bicycle bell solo.

So he went, all right then.

And it was a hit.

I mean, it shouldn't have been a hit.

Yeah, it's got a great middle eight, actually.

All right, let's see a bit of it here. And Freddie.

Freddie's mum was actually very pleased, wasn't she, that you were going on tour again with Paul Rogers.

I think so, yeah, she did come along.

She's always been very supportive.

Yeah, and of course he was some he loved his mother very much, and he was also terrified of her Yeah,

she's always been very very supportive can I ask you a dead straight question?

Yeah, right you know in that in those harmonies there to be a Rhapsody

and you hit that top note for me Except it's an octave above that really your voice,

but it was yeah, I can't get there anymore I got you know my normal voice has got Higher and stronger, but my falsetto is not what it was.

What did you know what that note was?

Oh, wasn't what it kind of a top C.

I think it was an F actually, but I'm not sure.

I'm not sure it's incredible

We've got one more clip actually of you guys

when Freddie was with you because we wanted to show because

that was obviously done for a Video we wanted to show

the the live ability of the band we saw it as it is now It's great, but it was yet such a strong voice Yeah, it was one of our strengths really was our live performance.

This is We Are The Champions, isn't it?

I mean, he just, a bit like Robbie actually, again, you wouldn't have seen this, but the way Robbie just had the crowd in the palm of his hand.

I heard he was great actually.

Freddie did that.

He could do that with an audience.

He's a man.

Yeah, I saw you guys at Hammersmith in 75.

100

And he did that there.

101

He just had everybody just brought everybody in.

102

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
