The Cross - Heaven For Everyone (Official Video)

This video was directed by Diebel/Myers and filmed in a former gasworks in Greenwich - now the site of the London O2 Arena -- on, according to Roger's recollection, a "bloody Freezing" day in early 1988.

[@J0nHAH]

One of the (many) things that made Queen so fantastic was that Roger and Brian were easily good enough singers to have fronted other groups. Obviously Freddie's voice was one of the greatest ever, but name another band with so much vocal talent at its disposal!

[@edbadyt]

Lets not forget that even John wrote some of the biggest hits. Okay, the guy couldn't sing and was the opposite of a front man but the great thing about Queen is every member wrote huge hits. The only other band I can think of where that happened was Madness and as good as they were, they were no Queen.

[@celosemnexo]

It's true.

[@rolennon]

Only Queen and The Beatles!

[@rolennon]

I'm talking about great singers, not "decent" ones. Perhaps of your list, the only one I agree is Pink Floyd and The Traveling

[@fkrawczyk]

@Japhy Ryder The Beatles - yes, well deserved on the list, alhough a superhit of Ringo that is equal to Another One Bites tohe Dust or You are My best Friend of Deacons? But ok. Rest of the mentioned bands - they are great, cool or nice - no offense, but... for example: ABBA - only the guys wrote the songs The Who - yes, I think they all composed, but again, a big hit of someone else except Townsend? The Beach Boys - really? :) can you name few hits of someone else than Brian Wilson? etc etc

[@venitabanerjee]

Roger has a soothing voice ...beautiful .

[@christineoneal666]

To go with that beauitful body

[@christineoneal666]

Yes, plus Roger is very easy on the eyes....It's weird seeing him play guitar instead of drums...

Essa é a original????

[@trovao1da2alvorada]

Queen could have been a band with 3 lead vocals (only Deacon never recorded vocals)

[@tylercrockett2619]

The more I hear Roger’s singing with The Cross and his solo stuff, the more I fall in love with him. His songs are so passionate. Beautiful.

[@Piotr_Polak]

This isn't a song, this is an experience!

[@celt67]

Always amazed me how every member of Queen could easily jump onto any other musical instrument. Mercury on guitar....May on Piano and so forth.

[@cristiona22]

Roger can play piano too

[@thedillybarboy]

Disco Deacy can play every instrument that god and man created, but he says he can't sing. 😔

[@willprince643]

Actually Freddie said he couldn't play guitar that well, he said he wanted to learn guitar, but he know only few chords, and that actually helped him create Crazy Little Thing Called Love. John on the other hand know bass, guitar and keyboards, but couldn't sing. Brian know how to sing and play bass, but didn't play drums. And Roger knows it all, drums, guitars, bass, keyboards and vocals. Althought I heard that he didn't consider himself a good keyboard player, that helped him create Radio Ga Ga (seems limitations were helpful for both Freddie and Roger), and that's why he had keyboard player on first solo albums and first The Cross album, which started as Roger's solo album (that's why Clayton, Peter and Joshua doesn't appear on all tracks).

[@dariabordea8586]

Until they reach Deaky at the vocals, because he "CaN't SiNg" =)))

[@jasonmtolela5261]

he could only play 3 chords on guitar so.....

[@shnehaprasad974]

Why is Roger sooo perfect???? His voice is soo soothing and then his brilliant lyrics! Not only thus but These are the days of our lives, Radio Gaga, Its a Kind of Magic and so many more! He is such a multitalented and rare man!

[@adams7405]

Always loved his quirky songs from Tenement Funster to Drowse.I am sure Freddie egged him on to write more commercially. His first was Calling All Girls and then came Radio Gaga.........

[@videosandvideosandvideos]

It's good, just in a different way. Roger was not Queen's lead vocalist, but he surely had a better range and better singing ability in general than many other singers.

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

more range than Freddie. He could sing piercing high notes that Freddie couldnt touch.

[@videosandvideosandvideos]

Dave Suchy That's incorrect! Freddie has recorded vocals up to an F5 (check Innuendo album), and even sang notes above C6. Can you please tell me in which record or live performance Roger has sung a note that Freddie never hit or "couldn't touch"?

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

I should amend my statement...Freddie had more range(lower register) lets see, the screams in ''in the lap of the gods'' the famous piercing highs in ''bohemian rhapsody''. Freddie is a baritone with a high range, Roger is a tenor with an even higher range.

[@videosandvideosandvideos]

Dave Suchy The highest note in Bohemian Rhapsody, which was sung by Roger, is a Bb5. The highest note in In The Lap Of The Gods is an A5. You should go on a keyboard, play the songs, and then hit those notes. You'll see. Mercury has sung Bb5's many times, one great example being Live At Wembley 86 second night the "Impromptu" performance. Mercury has even hit notes above the 6th octave live. An example would be the D6 he sang in another "Impromptu" performance live in Japan 1985 (not the final concert of 85 that has video, there is only sound recording of that particular concert I'm talking about). Once again, there is no recording, in other words "evidence", that Roger had a higher register. If there is, I'd love to hear it! People have this whole conversation of "a natural Baritone" etc., but none of it is relevant. Baritone, Tenor, whatever, the notes are there. You can be a Tenor and have ruined your voice and only be able to sing in Baritone range. You could be a Baritone and sing as high as a Tenor. Well, in that case, who cares? And Dave, I don't mean to sound rude or anything, but I don't like untrue facts to be spread.

[@theofficialcman]

Dracule Mihawk no man get you're shit right. That high note in Boh rap is a Bb6. Play it on the piano bro and he can hear it. Either way Fred still had a bigger range because he could hit the lower notes whereas roger couldn't

There is a cut of this i had on cassette where Freddie did the entire vocal...but that was years ago when I was trying to get my hands on all the cross material that I could find...absolutely some of the finest and hardest rock ever put down...no doubt Taylor surrounded himself with the best musicians (after all... he cut his teeth touring with Ian Hunters merry men of Mott the Hoople), prayers for all as our bodies wane with time, and rip to those we've lost along the way.

No, Freddie came by while they were working on it, loved it, and begged Roger to let him sing it.

As much as I love Freddie's version, Roger's is superior in my opinion. I wonder if he didn't appear in the music video because he didn't want to take away the spotlight from the band if that makes sense too?

[@iainmackinnon3716]

Saw the band on Tour when Roger obviously sang it without Freddie I love both versions hard to pick between them but as one of Freddies last songs it has to be a fitting part of his legacy. Amazingly another much overlooked track is Just An Illusion on Rogers solo Album which features dear friend and fellow petrol head Rick Parfitt on Guitar and Backing Vocals if you ever wondered what queen +quo mash up might sound like this is it with Rick's passing its nice to have this track to remember him outwith quo.

Skupinu The Cross vytvoril v oktobri 1987 hráč na bicie skupiny Queen Roger Taylor. V skupine boli Spike Edney klavesy, Clayton Moss gitara, Peter Noone basová gitara a Josh Macrae bicie.Bol to tretí hit skupiny z tohto albumu po skladbách Shove It a Cowboys and Indians.Dva ďalšie albumy skupiny z rokov 1990 a 1991 sa neumiestnili v rebríčku v UK.
