Lyrics for SAY IT'S NOT TRUE
Say it’s not True
The harder we play
The faster we fall
When we think that we know it all
We know nothing at all
The letter arrives
Like a bolt from the blue
So what’s left of your lives
All your dreams lost to you
Say it ain’t true
Say it today
When I open my eyes
Will it all go away
Say it’s not true
Say it for real
Can’t be happenin’ to you
Can’t be happenin’ to me
It’s hard not to cry
It’s hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve
With the wonders of science
And all the knowledge we’ve stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can’t afford
You can say it’s not true
You can say it’s not right
So hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it’s not true
Say it’s not real
Can’t be happenin’ to you
Can’t be happenin’ to me
QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS ANNOUNCE NEWLY RECORDED
FREE DOWNLOAD FOR NELSON MANDELA’S 46664 ON WORLD AIDS DAY
It has not been that closely a guarded secret that rock legends Queen and Paul Rodgers have been in the recording studio for their first sessions together following their successful world tour of 2005/2006. Indeed, both singer/songwriter and founding member of Free/Bad Company Paul Rodgers and Brian May have been quoted on their websites as being "quietly excited" about the music that has been produced from this creative union.
Spurred on by their commitments as Ambassadors to Nelson Mandela’s 46664 HIV AIDS global campaign, on which the spotlight will fall December 1 with a World Aids Day awareness and fundraising concert in Johannesburg, South Africa, Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers are rushing to finish a track specially written for 46664 by Roger Taylor and have it available as a free download in time for this coming Saturday’s AIDS HIV benefit concert.
The track, Taylor’s “Say It’s Not True”, originally came to light for the launch of the 46664 campaign back in November 2003. Taylor wrote the song as a gift to Mandela and performed it live for him for the first time with Brian May and Dave Stewart at the inaugural 46664 concert in Cape Town that month. The song carries the message that HIV AIDS is something that can affect any one of us no matter our sexual or racial status.
Taylor performed an acoustic version of the song again nightly during the Queen + Paul Rodgers’ 2005 tour, each time dedicating it to Mandela’s work to bring people and politicians together to fight HIV AIDS.
Having played two previous 46664 concerts, but committed in the studio this year, Queen and Paul Rodgers decided to revisit the song, with all three of them sharing the vocals, and to make the song the band’s message of support to Mandela this year.
“By making the song available for free”, says Taylor, “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 new studio recording was back in November 1997 when May, Taylor and band’s bassist John Deacon reunited to record “No-One But You” a song written by Brian May which was shaped by the early loss of the late Freddie Mercury to AIDS. The song was the last new work to be released by the band, issued as a single in January 1998.
“Say It’s Not True”, performed by Queen + Paul Rodgers, written by Roger Taylor,
will be available to download exclusively on www.queenonline.com and through www.46664.com , www.46664global.com , and www.paulrodgers.com too commencing on World Aids Day, December 1.

ZEPPELIN CONCERT ADDS PAUL RODGERS
Paul Rodgers, singer, songwriter, multi instrumentalist and a founding member of Free, Bad Company and The Firm will be performing on the bill December 10 at London's O2 Arena in honour of the late Ahmet Ertegun.
One of the most eagerly awaited concerts of the decade, it will be a celebration of the life and work of Ahmet Ertegun, founder of Atlantic Records and much missed mentor to some of the greatest names in music.
Paul Rodgers signed to Ertegun’s Atlantic Records with Bad Company and The Firm (along with band mate and gig headliner, Jimmy Page).
Rodgers was close to Ertegun and saw him as much more than just a record label boss:
"Ahmet had many gifts. His soulful freedom to love and lift others was just one. Now even in his passing he is still bringing people together and inspiring us."
With a #1 Charted Debut Solo DVD "Live in Glasgow" on the Nielson Soundscan charts, Rodgers is currently writing and recording a new Queen + Paul Rodgers CD in England.
Sept 25th - Rodgers rocks Toronto's Q107
Paul was interviewed and also performed with Kim Mitchell's Q107 Rock/Radio Show and for the first time ever, played piano live on radio to the fans delight. Fans were also treated to free t-shirts, photographs and 10 Muddy Water Blues CD's.
Paul Marries....
The Soul of Rock Paul Rodgers married former Miss Canada, 
Exercise Physiologist and Artist Cynthia Kereluk in a surprise outdoor wedding ceremony on their 10th anniversary. The guests were invited to a garden party at their country home and were informed that the entertainment would begin at 7 pm - at which time it was announced by Paul that the guests were actually attending their wedding. So, under a rising moonlit sky of shooting stars, in Canada's Okanagan Valley, Rodgers and Kereluk exchanged vows before 70 of their closest friends and family. The most humorous moment occurred when Cynthia was asked do you take this man to be your husband and she responded with, "Absolutely!" and then added, "I do."
"There is magic on earth." said Paul

Paul Rodgers, the Doors do justice to their pasts!
OCREGISTER Review: Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger delivered moments of magic, but the Bad Company/Free vocalist lived up to top billing with a crowd-pleaser.
By ROBERT KINSLER
Special to the Register
One of the greatest bands of all time, the Doors left behind recordings that are a collective part of rock 'n' roll consciousness. Fans are not only deeply familiar with the melodies sung by the late Jim Morrison, they even know the extended keyboard solos crafted by Ray Manzarek and the flamenco-tinged fretwork immortalized by Robby Krieger.
Since Morrison's death in 1971, the Doors' music has had a lasting impact with audiences, rare and previously unavailable recordings still seeping into the marketplace (the latest from the band is Rhino Records' impressive two-disc "Live in Boston 1970," released just last month).
Further keeping the flame alive is Riders on the Storm, a tribute of sorts featuring Manzarek, Krieger and one-time Fuel singer Brett Scallions. (The Cult's frontman Ian Astbury was on board when this revivalist concept emerged as the Doors of the 21 {+s}{+t}Century earlier this decade.)
How carefully these Riders recreate the Doors experience in the '00s – as it attempted to do for nearly an hour Sunday night at Pacific Amphitheatre – likely may be a matter of debate, but Scallions is clearly a kindred spirit of the late Morrison. His thin frame, black attire and fluid stage movements helped bring plenty of energy to this performance.
His routine eventually faltered because his own voice failed as a substitute for Morrison's deep and resonant baritone. But the good news for Doors fans was that both Manzarek and Krieger were in excellent form, replicating and improvising around timeless riffs and melodies from "Break on Through," "Light My Fire" and "L.A. Woman" (the latter two both clocked in at around 10 minutes apiece).
But headliner Paul Rodgers was clearly the winner this night. Back to his solo ways after a well-received tour fronting Queen – and backed by a strong four-man band, with kudos to the dual guitar attack of Howard Leese and Kurtis Dengler – Rodgers performed his best-known hits from both Bad Company and Free during an 80-minute performance.
Long recognized as one of rock's greatest vocalists, Rodgers proved it again and again here with pitch-perfect renditions of "Rock and Roll Fantasy" and even more challenging fare, such as "Can't Get Enough," "Feel Like Makin' Love" and "Saving Grace." His set only gained momentum as the night wore on, and his vocal firepower was up to the challenge, leading the crowd through sing-alongs during "Shooting Star," "All Right Now" and "Bad Company."
But Rodgers really sealed the deal with an amazing vocal display during a cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Little Wing," bringing both heartfelt emotion and dynamics to the piece.
Canadian singer-guitarist Pat Travers opened the night with a pleasing set of hard-rocking blues. Though most known for his cover of Stan Lewis' "Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)," that audience favorite was outdistanced by newer material such as "Crash and Burn" and "I Don't Care."

Milwaukee Wednesday, April 18. After a long set that included new songs and his hits, the sold out crowd at the Potawatomi Casino, a venue where Aretha Franklin & BB King had recently performed, could not get enough. So Rodgers and his band played on for 5 encores that included "Saving Grace", All Right Now", "Seagull" featuring just Rodgers, slow blues standard "Standing Around Crying", "Simple Man", finishing off the night off with "Ready For Love". It seemed that neither the enthusiastic crowd or the engaging Rodgers wanted the evening to end.

Led Zeppelins Little Sister
Deborah Bonham & Paul
Deborah Bonham and her band were the Special Guests on Paul Rodgers UK Tour for the first six dates. On the last night before a sold out crowd in
Nottingham Rodgers invited Deborah up to sing "Can't Get Enough". He chose
this song because it was the first song that Deborah remembers hearing Paul sing when she was just 12. "Deborah has the same sweetness of spirit that he brother John possessed plus she's a fantastic singer who like her brother has great rhythm". Paul Rodgers. Not many realize this but John Bonham was also a good singer and did sing backing vocals on a number of Led Zeppelin's songs.
Paul & Gary Moore
October 3 at The Royal Albert Hall in London, Paul and Blues Legend Guitarist Gary Moore were seen trading scorching riffs. Also in the Sold Out audience were friends Jimmy Page, Brian May & Roger Taylor. Gary took the high energy level to higher heights.

Paul Rodgers & Kansas Concert Review
Oklahoma City, Friday August 25
across America and Europe. Rodgers seems to have a hunger to play his music to his audience. The Queen gig was a huge success and Paul did play some of his classics while touring the globe with Brian May and Roger Taylor but now he is taking some time for himself and treating music fans to songs from his solo career as well as classic tracks from Free, Bad Company and The Firm. This night we got to enjoy another awesome classic rock band as well as none other than Midwest favorites Kansas were the opening act. The two bands make a great pairing as rock audiences get to see two of the 70's top vocalists back-to-back. Steve Walsh is sounding better each time he passes through town and Kansas continue to earn their reputation as a solid live act. Original members include Phil Ehart, Rich Williams and Walsh. They provide the core of the band and are the heart and soul of the Kansas legacy. Returning to the band on violin is David Ragsdale and on bass is longtime Kansas mainstay Billy Greer. Rags made his way back to the band when original member Robby Steinhardt stepped down. At first, it was difficult to see the band without Robby acting as emcee. This is the second time in Kansas history that the group has been without the bearded wild man. Ragsdale more than replaces him musically as he is a virtuoso on the violin. He also picks up the slack and plays rhythm guitar as well. Greer tackles both Steinhardt's role as front man and vocalist. While not as charming and eye catching as Robby, Greer holds his own when it comes to singing.
set, leaving plenty of time to impress the audience with their musical prowess. "Portrait (He Knew)," "Point of Know Return," "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On Wayward Son" were the last four songs played. Missing from the set was "Hold On" and "Child of Innocence" but there is only so much time in this slot. Of note is the haircut of drummer Phil Ehart; seeing Phil with short locks was a shock. Phil, like Williams, is an amazing musician. Focusing in on his drumming brings Kansas music to another level. He intuitively understands what the music needs and delivers every time. In the end, the band played well, sounded great and were fun to watch. Perhaps one day we will actually get some new music out of the band but until then we will continue to enjoy what they have to offer every time they come to town. 
be reckoned with as well. The most notable name other than Paul's in the band belongs to Howard Leese from Heart fame in the 1970's. Leese gets the pleasure of replicating guitar solos from three of England's most famous axe-masters; Paul Kossoff from Free, Mick Ralphs from Bad Co and Jimmy Page from The Firm. Rodgers and Leese also played a new tune that was well received. In fact, Paul announced that this was the first time the song had ever been performed in front of a live audience. The song featured Rodgers on lead vocals and acoustic guitar and Leese on mandolin. The track, whose working title is "Far Distant Shores," is a step outside the box for what fans of Bad Company and Free are used to. However, it is a bold and emotional piece of music and fit in with the rest of the set. The calming effect it had on the crowd was not due to people going on a beer or potty run but instead due to being taken in by the feel of the song and lyrics. This would be akin to what Led Zeppelin did on their monstrous Led Zeppelin III release back in the early 1970's. In other words, it is still Paul Rodgers but it is a side of him that has not often been shown -- but should be. 
amazing rendition of Jimi Hendrix's "Angel." Paul's voice truly took the song to the heavens where I am sure the master was smiling down.
