Instead of the drum solo, which he says he hates anyway, it would be great if he performed Tenament Funster with the rest of the band. He sang it in some Cross and Solo shows and it was always a highlight.

Just saw this on youtube, Sorry Rog, but does anyone else think 2 and a hallf mins could of been better spent with another song or something? link
Watching this clip, link I see the full idea that the kit is being built up as he's playing ,which looks ridiculous. Surely with all there money, they could afford to have stage B at the end of the runway, go up and down and have the kit assembled under the floor for this solo and raised when it was necessary? I dont wanna pay £50 to see a roadie get in the bloody way!!!

I agree, I would rather see a real song being played liked Tenement Funster. This nonsense about playing songs on a bass guitar with his drum sticks is asinine. It's a joke really. And I find it strange them building the drum kit while he's playing.
of course I'd prefer to have Tenement Funster or any other song ... but I also prefer this drum solo in the way it's done rather than the classical way.
It is really fun to see how the solo grows as the kit is built

I think it only works with a 2nd drummer, as Rog was wasting his time in singing TF, not playing :-D
Do you know what?
I have NEVER seen any band do a drum solo using an electric bass and have thier drumkit built up as the solo progresses.
I like it, and I hope they keep the idea for when they get to the UK concerts.
Sure, I'd love to see Roger do Tenement Funster as well.
It annoys me that apart from a couple of songs, it's the same bloody set list as the last tour!
Get Paul Rodgers to learn the lyrics to "Liar" and "Now I'm Here!"
No it's not a waste of 2 1/2 minutes.... no real fan of Queen would say that
This is Roger having a bit of fun and i think it's awesome !!
Yep i would like him to do Tenament Funster but i think there's as much chance of that as i have i Brian playing It's Late ! ( which i would love to hear live)
Let's enjoy the tour for what it is and stop pulling down their choice of solo

Maybe it will be more enjoyable seeing it live rather than on YouTube!
In fact, as I saw it on Kharkiv video, I thouth it is great idea and I really enjoyed it. One of the highlight of the show. And I looking for the Prague show for this. So, definitely not waste of time for me.

Yep i'm sure it will be....... seeing this is your first Queen concert ? (i think from your other posts, or is it your hubbies fist)
Anything that is different or an alternative from what we are used to is always worth seeing, when a group or individual ad-libs instead of just copying the record word for word (or worst lip sincs like some do) it makes it more enjoyable unique sometimes ( like the song Teo Torreate only ever beeing played live in Japan )
I am sure you will both love the concert ( O2 ) is it ? on the 13th Oct ( well i'm driving from Yorkshire to be there ) and i cant wait
See ya
Actually, from a drummer's point of view, I'd say that is a brilliant and totally creative way to bring a drum solo. I found myself watching the video for the first time as fascinated as a kid exposed to a huge christmas tree full of presents.
Mr. Taylor, I'm glad that you don't like to do "drum solos" as we all know it, but to create magic moments and share your mastering of the instrument.
