ok, here we go: link it seems we can expect some activity from Brian & Roger together ... as well as from Rog solo !! |
| onevsion 30.03.2009 14:47 |
Roger solo. That would be fantastic! |
| david (galashiels) 30.03.2009 14:51 |
a new tour.fantastic,just when i thought i would never see queen live again.. |
| Erin 30.03.2009 14:56 |
Hopefully, it will be a US tour this time. |
| Bo Rhap 30.03.2009 15:10 |
Unfortunately it seems we may not have Paul.I hope this is not true.Paul is the best singer around these days.To lose him would be bad news. However,i wouldnt mind seeing John back.Would love that actually.Considering it might be their last tour,it would be fitting though. |
| jeffuk49 30.03.2009 15:14 |
Oh cant see Brian doing it again either, maybe an odd show but he seemed to have suffered physically from this tour and hey hey has given us 40 years of his heart and soul, Roger on the other hand the tour has seemed to given him the zest to play again, he's playing better and tighter than I can remember and I've been around following them Live since Southend in 1973 (Mott the Hopple support band) |
| Dan C. 30.03.2009 15:28 |
Honestly, the prospect of more solo Roger stuff (even a tour that I won't be able to see) is some of the best Queen news I've heard in a while! Over the past few years, with any new venture the band has taken, he's been the best part (for me). |
| aion 30.03.2009 15:57 |
People really should stop referring to Brian and Roger as "Queen". No, there will not be a Queen tour in 2010, as the last Queen tour was in 1986 and it's not possible that there could ever be a new tour. Brian and Roger together is not Queen any more than a one-off Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr performance is a Beatles reunion. I would have liked to see more solo albums from both Roger and Brian, but I wonder why he's now suddenly eager to write solo material as it's been more than 10 years since his last solo album. Both the Cosmos Rocks and the very long time since the last solo albums by R & B prove that Roger and Brian have absolutely NOTHING left in themselves musically, so people shouldn't expect much from any new material by these two guys. Queen's story, and at the same time these guys's careers, ended with Made in Heaven in 1995 - someone should update the info to Bri and Rog, it seems that they aren't aware of it. |
| Rick 30.03.2009 16:14 |

A new Roger solo album would be awesome. But want if he just releases a "best of" and he and Brian as "Queen" record a new album and tour with it as Queen? |

| Sheer Brass Neck 30.03.2009 19:40 |
Yeah, losing Paul would deprive us of an album that would rank 1 or 2 on both the "Worst Ever Lyric Writing" and "Why did they do this again?" lists. |
| Saint Jiub 30.03.2009 21:26 |
Good news. Roger seems like the only one of the three capable of writing more than one decent song. Without Roger, tCR would have been absolutely dreadful, instead of just mediocre. |
| steven 35638 30.03.2009 22:42 |

| mike hunt 31.03.2009 02:23 |
there was a time when this news would have been exciting for me, but those days are long gone. Roger's solo stuff=boring for me. I'm tired of his singing in a phone booth style. Brian is one of my all time favorite musicians, but doesn't seem all that interested in writing creative music. The cosmos rocks is already collecting dust, and to be honest the second queen + paul tour was boring. Playing the same old songs they played the first time around. |
| The Mir@cle 31.03.2009 03:41 |
Hopefully they'll do a small tour together, in some smaller venues.... more intimate, more classics, more Queen. :-) All the respect for Paul Rodgers... but we've seen two tours of the same right now. It's time for a change. |

| Raffy 31.03.2009 09:57 |
Roger/Brian Tour would be good! But my dream is: Freddie on the screen with the band that plays the songs together with the sound of Freddie's voice like they do on the first part of Bohemian Rhapsody! This time perhaps John will accept to join Brian and Roger... maybe for just one gig but it would be better than nothing! |

But I'm sorry to say your dream is the last thing I want to see in my life: Freddie on screen during a whole show? that sounds ridiculous to me. And that was one of the things I didn't like of the TCR Tour: having him on screen in two songs. Go on, Rog & Bri, and John too, doing all the Queen stuff you want, but no more Freddie on screen please. I think it is disrespectful. It is fine if you want to honour him with some pictures on the screen or a subtle video ala Bijou, but more than that ... mmmmm .... no, thanks |
| Raffy 31.03.2009 10:44 |
I could understand if you say that you don't like when they play with Freddie on screen but to say that it is disrespectful for me has no sense... why you think is disrespectful? It's a great moment during Queen + PR gigs and everybody enjoys this moment and sing the song together with Freddie in an atmosphere of emotion and admiration for his figure and his importance in the history of music and for the history of Queen. |
| Vali 31.03.2009 10:57 |
I think it is disrespectful as I see it like ... taking advantage of Freddie's figure As I said, honouring him in the way they did in 2005 with the Bo Rhap video and recently with Bijou is fine; it is moving, both for the band and the fans/audience .... but more than that, using him in 2, 4, 5, 7 songs ... no please, no. I imagine the remaining Beatles doing the same with John and George, or Nirvana with Cobain, or The Doors with Morrison, for a full show, and it makes me laugh. Really. So, that's the reason why I don't want my favorite musicians following that way |
| Vali 31.03.2009 10:58 |
*** sorry double post *** |
| Raffy 31.03.2009 11:10 |
I respect your opinion Vali. Yes a full tour with Freddie on screen will be boring, I would like to see only one show with Freddie on screen and John playin' with Bri & Rog and Spike on keyboards with no other musicians. Just for one concert (maybe for the 40th annyversary) I was thinking at it like a good idea. A whole tour no... it would be boring and yes will take advantage of the figure of Freddie and will put Bri and Roger in a corner just like secondary musicians. But for a gig will be a good idea to commemorate the anniversary in this way instead of a "Tribute concert replica" with other singers (or only Paul) that sing Queen songs. |
| Vali 31.03.2009 11:28 |
Sorry Raffy, I thought you meant a whole Tour !!! just for one show .... well, I don't like it at all, either, but I respect your opinion too ;) back to topic: exciting news; the simple thought of Roger releasing a solo compilation with, perhaps, a few new tracks is wonderful! and the thought of having Bri and Rog performing Queen material again, with the additional dream of having John on board again .... yesss pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee !!! |
| Mr. Farenheit 31.03.2009 12:17 |
The musings of some drum roadie become the source for a declaration of "sure to tour." Hilarious and pathetic. And then somehow....the re-emergence of Deacon gets throw in.

Queen always had good contact with their roadies. Plus, I don't think Roger would let anyone near his drumkit without knowing the person in question relatively well.

But hey, if you want to add another chapter to "How to act like a Stepford and praise the mighty lord Freddie Mercury", then go ahead. I'll get the popcorn and booze. |

My only requests (if they do tour again): 1. If Paul leaves (and I don't necessarily want him to--I like his vocals, believe it or not), don't hire a new lead singer. Just have Brian and Roger handle vocals, with Freddie onscreen for Bo Rhap. Which leads me into point two: 2. Don't do an entire tour with taped Freddie vox on virtually every song. The last thing I want is to see Brian and Roger playing Rock Band with Freddie's vocals. On Bo Rhap, sure, use Freddie. Frankly, I don't think the audience would accept the song any other way. But don't use him on tape throughout the show. There were two other great singers in the classic incarnation of Queen--let them show off what they've got! |

| Fone Bone 01.04.2009 04:45 |
Awesome news though we're still a long way from anything solid. Anyway my two cents are this : basically what Brian & Roger achieved (two successful arena tours, sold out stadiums in Latin America, billed as Queen, without Freddie) is quite amazing. But the artistic and commercial failure of the The Cosmos Rocks had to put an end to the venture, because Paul Rodgers is his own man and he certainly didn't see the point of singing old Queen hits for the rest of his career (I don't blame him and I am grateful for everything ! He made all this happen). For years Bri and Rog have tried to recapture some of the global success they enjoyed with Queen. I remember Brian's bitterness in the early 90's during his days as Guns N Roses' opening act. With Paul they did just that (sold out arenas, stadiums) but failed with the record and therefore jeopardized QPR's future. Now they could tour theaters without an additional singer and enjoy the kind of atmosphere their solo tours had (knowledgeable fans, greatest hits setlist not necessary) It would be more of a niche thing, but after proving themselves yet again with the QPR tours, there would be no shame in that. |
| drjones 01.04.2009 09:13 |
i agree no completly new product from queen+,Brian,Roger or both is going to set the world alight only true fans are going to be intrested. it seems that Roger wants to continue writing new stuff and going out on the road so he should get a band together and get out there. Brian on the other hand seems to have too many other intrests to devote his time to new music so he should be left to do has he pleases along with John. Queen have given their fans some of the best music ever writen and some of the best concert performances ever seen on a stage and the most unfogettable frontman ever to grace a stage. so if it's all over so be it....... |

I'd love to see Brian and Roger before they retire. I'm not ashamed to admit that "We Believe" would be my big chance to go take a long dump and maybe score some peanuts. Maybe not in that order though. |
| cmsdrums 04.04.2009 13:04 |
I'm happy. Only 5 years ago I thought that we'e never see Brian and Roger playing or recording together again. Roger's convention message says that they will "work" together again in 2010, not necessarily tour, so it could be a recording project rather than live shows. Having said that I'm sure a tour or show of some sort willl be done as Roger especially seemed to be invigorated by playing live again. Like many others, I'd love to see a 'celebration' of their catalogue - something like a series of smaller shows and a TV special, featuring John on bass, plus Roger, Brian and guest vocalists revisiting their back catalogue to include classic album tracks as well as the better known hit singles. This is something that was actually lined up to happen in the US in the late nineties in a VH1 Storytellers , but was pulled very late on for some reason. I have posted befpore to say that this would be a fitting and respectful way to pay tribute to their fantastic back catalogue whilst avoiding 'cashing in' claims that would accompany another QPR Greatest Hits tour; it would also be a chance for Brian and Roger to gain some deserved credit across the wider general public who generally see Queen as just Freddie. Roger solo stuff? Fab for me too. Although I have all the official solo albums, maybe a live album/DVD pack would be good, and if a 'Best of RT' as he intimates comes out then I hope that some rarities, alternate mixes and perhaps some new tracks are included too. I have all the The Cross stuff too, but I hope that the best of their material can be included if they are brave enough to release a bigger set than just a one or two CD set. |

If QPR do tour again then they have to record another album to change the set list. Even "old" Queen going out ton the raod for years without recording new material would be boring! I disagree about 2005 & 2008 being the same as IMHO I enjoyed 2008 a lot more than 2005 (although Hyde Park was special) due to the new material being mixed with old. |
| dewantari deaky 26.07.2009 02:04 |
i agree with Raffy (if i'm not mistaken the name). Roger, Brian, and Deacon play their own instrument, and Freddie on screen with his voice and piano for some songs (Bohemian Rhapsody must use this method i think), and the other songs may use different singer every songs. |

If Queen do tour again, I would love them to have Paul Rodgers back on the road with them, if not, singers such as Ian Hunter may be a good choice from Mott The Hoople, as Queen do have a long standing friendship with them since their early days. I myself would love to see Queen roll out some tracks that have rarely been performed live, keep the classics that they do now, but it would be great to see some tracks such as Headlong, Innuendo, Tear It Up, Now I'm Here, things like that. Maybe some stuff from Roger's work with The Cross even, Manipulator and Heartland are my favourites. |

lalalaa it's no trouble agreeing with someone lol. As for whether they should have Paul back with them I wouldn't be too upset as I think he's ok and I wouldn't really have a preference as to who should replace him if they got another vocalist in |

We have to try to think in other person to they make aother tour!!! they could make the tour by themselves!!!! |

No, there will not be a Queen tour in 2010, as the last Queen tour was in 1986 and it's not possible that there could ever be a new tour. Brian and Roger together is not Queen any more than a one-off Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr performance is a Beatles reunion. I would have liked to see more solo albums from both Roger and Brian, but I wonder why he's now suddenly eager to write solo material as it's been more than 10 years since his last solo album. Both the Cosmos Rocks and the very long time since the last solo albums by R & B prove that Roger and Brian have absolutely NOTHING left in themselves musically, so people shouldn't expect much from any new material by these two guys. Queen's story, and at the same time these guys's careers, ended with Made in Heaven in 1995 - someone should update the info to Bri and Rog, it seems that they aren't aware of it. There've been crap-loads of other bands that have recorded new material with a fraction of the originial! And think of it this way, if the other three had got pissed at Deaky back in the 80s and replaced him with someone else, how many of you would've cared that much? (BTW, I love Deaky and his songs, but the powerhouse that the other three still would create would make a new bassist not much to worry about. And concerning the hoopla about Deacon being "loyal to Freddie" and "not touring with Q+PR because he knows Queen is over", he told Brian and Roger to go ahead with it; he's just ready to settle down and live like a normal person. As to Roger and Brian being musically drained, what the crap?! "Call Me" from Cosmos Rocks has to be the catchiest song I've heard since "Misfire"! I would gladly pick Cosmos Rocks over any CD out of the past 15 years! Even if your opinion is that they suck, just don't listen to them and let them do whatever the crap they want to. Plenty of musicians release filth all the time (many even choose to like it) and they should be allowed to. It's their right. |

Everbody have a opinion! :S ! and today we can't say that Queen is alive! just bri and Rog playing without Freddie and John don't stay cool! it'll have to call "HalfQueen"! |

Brian and Roger can call it whatever they want to call it - they have the right...they have the blessing from John, from Freddie's family (you think Freddie's mum would have been in the audience if she didn't approve), from the various organizations including those overseeing Freddie's estate... Brian and Roger making new music with the name of the band they founded and spent the majority of their lives in just makes sense.....and I fully support it Can't wait for new music from them in any form......thought Paul was a great choice for them to work with...and it was absolutely fantastic to see them live.......I really enjoyed having the benefit of 15 new tracks from the new band "Queen and Paul Rodgers"......if they need someone else I'd recommend Jeff Scott Soto since he is so familiar with their material - especially the rarely played tracks.....can you imagine going to see Brian and Roger playing a concert and including songs like Great King Rat, White Queen, Sail Away Sweet Sister, You and I, White Man, Breakthru, Scandal, etc.etc. etc.... think having Brian and Roger playing themselves is wayyyyyyyyyyy better than any of the various tributes.....surprised people aren't also on here trying to shut those down for performing versions of Queen's music...... |

How refreshing to see someone post on this site in an articulate fashion, without insultng people or talikng shite, making sense and actually being positive. A nice way to end my night on here, instead of the usual blood boiling I get from reading half the poster's tripe and drivel :) |

The only thing us queen fans want is the box set with rarities from the original 4. |

Speak for yourself only. Yes we want the anthologies/box sets, but some of us also liked TCR and would like to see more from Q+PR like a follow up album. I am not being rude, just saying that you cannot speak for Queen fans like that. |
| thebloodycrumpet 06.08.2009 05:43 |
I agree- of course seeing queen as queen would be better than pretty much anything i can think of in the world ever but it's not going to happen now. and I loved TCR and it made my life seeing Roger and Brian onstage. I can't wait for another tour, in whichever form it will take! And especially Roger solo stuff- I would die a very happy woman if I saw that. :D |
| mike hunt 07.08.2009 12:02 |
I'm glad they got back together and did the whole Queen + paul thing. I got the chance too see a Queen related show for the first time. Got too see two of my musical idols live. also got too see another musical legend paul rodgers play with them, but i think enough is enough. Just my opinion, but if they keep going I hope they sing the songs themselves. roger and brian are decent enough singers. Roger is actually pretty good. |
| john bodega 07.08.2009 14:18 |
Just lately I've gotten really sick of PR's voice. He's a capable singer and all but I only really get enjoyment from his voice when he's redlining it. Most of the time he just sounds like he's coasting, and that's totally not what I thought blues was supposed to be about. |
| «¤~Mrš. BÃD GÛŸ~¤» 07.08.2009 20:55 |
^He's a capable singer for sure, when he sang in his own bands. |
| mike hunt 10.08.2009 01:42 |
If you want real blues listen to howlin wolf and muddy waters, the real stuff. Paul is Just another wannabe white boy blues singer to me. Talented, but not original. That's why freddie appeals to me, he's original. How many rockers were influenced by show tunes, lol. |

There's plenty of sites dedicated to deceased artists. What's left of Queen can and will do whatever they want. They might even surprise us and come up with something that sells. The thing is though, nobody really believes it's Queen. |

Yeah, and perhaps just aim it to the fans, or do it for a good cause. My main concern is closing the book on "Queen" with half filled arenas and not enough interest to support a US or Australian tour again. |

Imagine Brian, Roger and John, each one with their own bands and calling all three of them 'Queen'. After all, they own the name so it's their right to do so. |
| PauloPanucci 12.08.2009 18:40 |
when they'll talk about this tour???? we will know just in 2010???... Bri and Rog just saied that will have a tour.. and more nothing, i'm curious!!! |

Jeez, can you imagine it? It'd be like "The Sweet" during the eighties. "Brian May's Queen" touring at the same time as "Queen-Featuring Roger Taylor" Whether they "own" the name as individuals is debatable. Common sense should prevail in that instance. If you thought "Queen" without Freddie is ridiculous enough as it is, that scenario would make them even bigger laughing stocks. |
