Ignoring the comedy goldmine that is the second word, the answer to your question is that it was considered about 15 years ago AND WAS DISCARDED.  Furthermore, GM has just retired from touring, which surely puts him even FURTHER out of the picture. Still, your postcount's gone up by one, so it wasn't a total waste of bandwidth...

Marcelo_argentina wrote: So Killer Queen, Somebody to love and White Queen are Pop songs?????? I thought I want ot break free, Radio Ga Ga, Another one bites the dust were Pop...and we heard those ones from Paul, didn't we? Now, with the George Michael theme, I think he is a great singer, you don't need to be a genius to realized about that, but please be realistic, the guy just can't sing other songs...imagine for instance George singing Tie your mother down, I want it all, Hammer to fall, One Vision, Headlong, Fat bottom girls, we will rock you, and the list goes on and on...and now try to imagine a Queen concert with out these songs...waht dou you get?..yeah!! you would rather staying at home... 

Marcelo_argentina wrote: Did I miss the point you were trying to make just beacause I do not agree with you? Let's try at least to be realistic for one second, this is not a "TYMD" or "white queen" discussion..is it?..tell me a real set list that Queen could play with George, I mean, at least let's say 25 songs to play alive...Can you make a realistic setlist? I'm talking serious here...then we can discuss it!

Marcelo_argentina wrote: That setlist is IMPRESSIVE!!! I must be honest dude,  However nowadays the "Star" of the band is Brian May...and those songs would put  him in the background, and that is why I was telling you about a realistic setlist, that seems to be more like a compiled CD...but sure I would like to see that setlist played in a big stadium, why not.

redspecialusa wrote: Please, Dear GOD no...I'm elated with the Queen & Paul Rodgers Collaboration. I don't think a collaborative project with George Michael would work. Number 1, he would never do as well as Paul Rodgers has done with interpreting Queen's older material his own way. Number 2, George Michael isn't a rock vocalist...granted he would probably do a wonderful interpreting all of the slower ballads and such. But there are a lot more musical dimensions to Queen than ballads and pop; and respectfully to George Michael because I think he's a good singer with some good songs...Queen + George Michael WOULDN'T WORK!!!

I think you just answered your own question here. Brian and Roger chose to work with Paul because he's a rocker as well. Why would a guitarist and a drummer want to play piano/synth driven pop songs anyway?

Mustapha_Ibrahim wrote: I would second your suggestion 15 years ago. It was indeed a very good idea. However, I think that by now even Brian and Roger have realised that the continuous use of the Queen name in their new projects will only discredit them. After the modest success of the album, it's time for them to put away the name and get on with their lives.

As always, I can always count on you to be a total fucking prick for absolutely no reason what so ever. I wonder if someone like you has the balls to say things like that to a person's face in real life or if you're just a total pussy who hides behind a keyboard? Hmm........

Oh dear, did my harsh words get you in to such a blind rage that my logical points were obscured? Sorry.

P_G, don't forget this is the same man who refuses to formally acknowledge that Japan has a 2 *CD* edition instead of a CD+DVD edition of "The Cosmos Rocks", as can be plainly seen on the OBI here in addition to all the older retail solicitations: link link

Why would they want to play their own music? Um, yeah.....not sure how to respond to that.

Well if you had bothered to read up before opening your trap, you would have seen that I in fact HAVE acknowledged it at the official forums. If it's THAT big of a fucking deal to you go look it up but check your facts before making yourself look like a tool.

You should talk. You're the one who made the big deal out of it in the first place when I mentioned at first that Japan was getting a 2CD edition. You clearly don't even know how to read Japanese, as I posted the portions of the text in QOL where it clearly said 2CD. Several websites there all said the same thing. I know how the solicitations work over there, Mike. I order from Japan all the time, and they're very RARELY ever wrong in their solicitation's descriptions. They're not as prone to mistakes as, say, Hollywood Records. And where on QOL did you post that? I don't have time to trawl through those useless topics there to find such an acknowledgment.

I never said anyone was wrong, flat out. I *always* maintained that I needed confirmation first but I'm not rehashing this thing again. You can find it at QOL in 1 of the 2 Q+PR forums with a rather obvious subject title.

You start shit & talk shit behind the safety on your monitor knowing damn well you'd never do it to a person's face. Yes, that makes you a coward. Glad you find your cowardice entertaining.

You were and ARE talking to a guy here who has a fairly good (though small) knowledge of Japanese, and how to read their listings. I HAVE to use it (Japanese characters) when I use certain auction services there to buy stuff you can't find on eBay (cheaply at least) - as they almost never use English words there, let alone English characters in the auction titles. Doesn't that count for something?? I even pointed it OUT to you on QOL with the exact text from those solicitations, that had the SAME INFORMATION across all those MULTIPLE RETAIL WEBSITES there! But you essentially called me a liar. You got proven WRONG in the end, and I was right about it all along :-)

Why wouldn't I say anything to your face?

Well those two would make for a fabulously gay duo.

I thought the troll's golden rule was to entice stupid people from Canada to come under their bridge by offering a treasure trove of Pokemon figures?

Who else in the band is gay? And who cares what their sexual orientation is? Other than you, of course. Your homophobia is poorly disguised - as is your ignorance.
