i think the personality and ego of the man, will mean he doesn't join up with them again.
so whether by luck or judgement, queen+ juggernaut will be rolling on - which isn't a bad thing
Given the sales with Paul in the US, don't think they'll be trying that again. Adam might be the only reason they'd come to the US, given he's American. Can't see them doing more than a handful of shows successfully though.
I think Q +PR sold less than the Osama Bin Laden Xmas Album.
I don;t think the brnad Queen + works very well for them. It will always be seen by the general public as Queen minus (Fred). Whereas look at the relative success of superbands like Chickenfoot. They still have the "history" of their previous bands but without the feeling that it's "LEd Zep lite" or "Van Halen lite".
PR? No thanks, Rog & Bri compromised too much for him when they previously toured, I doubt Brian will ever again share a stage with PR. I would go to a show with AL as vocalist, as I enjoyed the last time round, fair enough I'm in the minority with that opinion. :)
Personally I would love to see Brian and Roger do some intimate shows, along with Spike and a bass player, with no vocalist drafted in, Let them do the show without one.
A more acoustic orientated show just featuring Brian and Roger with maybe even a bass player at smaller intimate venues could be great too.
Then again if they tour in any format I would probably go, just to see them, like I did last year.
2013 wishlist
First and foremost ROGER TAYLOR tour! :)
Roger Taylor Taylor Hawkins 2010 rumor a reality
Brian without Kerry Ellis or any female singer for that matter
Brian and Roger small venue - doing all vocals
Brian and Roger with the Queen Extravaganza--this is probably not likely given all the dates in Canada.

Absolutely - they really should have gone out as, for example, 'Taylor, May Rodgers' - they could still play as many Queen songs as they liked, but could have broadedned the canvaslive (added covers of other artists etc,,) and put The Cosmos Rocks out without it being bracketed into the Queen canon, but sat outside as the start of a new musical project. McCartney found huge recognition with Wings specifically cos it was a different standalone project to The Beatles - if only Brian had the balls and the bottle to not rely on the Queen name when the sound of the resulting album was really almost like Paul Rodgers , rather than the other way around.
"PR? No thanks, Rog & Bri compromised too much for him when they previously toured"- What do you mean? Rodgers was entitled to play Free and Bad Company songs as he is a big artist in his own right unlike Lambert. Q+PR did two massive tours which were huge, so the Cosmos Rocks didnt sell well but I like it better than Hot Space. If Rodgers doesnt sing then I would like Jeff Scott Sotto not Lambert who would not sold out two tours like QPR did, he was a big reason Sonisphere was cancelled last year and two nights at Hammersmith do not compare to the shows done with Rodgers.
