Planet Rock is broadcasting an interview with RT tonight at 7pm (UK time) a short quote in the add for it says "if we do anything in the future I'd like it to be new"
Given that BM has already said that they (Q+AL) will tour again next year, is Roger talking about the show or set setlist, playing unusual venues or even countries or is a new album in the pipeline.
I am using DAR.FM to record it right now. I hope it works. I lost the first few seconds of the DJ opening the show, but nothing substantial, I guess. If it does work, I can PM anybody willing to have it as I will not be able to post a direct link here because official songs are being broadcast during the interview. I would like to edit it and to make it available for you wonderful lot out there, but I'm affraid I would not have the time to do so, I am sorry.
So, to sum it up, I will soon let you know if it worked and then I can happilly send it to anybody willing to have it via PM.
Cheers,

The quote from Roger was in the context of new music rather than live shows.
The suggestion was that he hoped Brian and he could write one or two that would be in keeping with the legacy and record somethig new.
No firm committment to that though - just what he hoped could happen.
Hi, some of you have PMs. I hope it works. If possible, please ask here, and not in a PM to me as I do not check PMs regularly and I could miss it, which I would really feel bad about.
As for what Roger said I understood he was asked about archive material and replied that he'd rather release something new, then referring to it being quite possible for him to record with Brian and if they came up with a song or two that they found fitted, they could release it. Please correct me if you understood otherwise, as I am not a native speaker.
Cheers,

Thank you! You heard Rog right. He implied that Page was a better curator and he wasn't interested in a big archival release and if they were going to do anything he'd rather they do something new...him and brian could write a song or two.
This is not news. This was a question he was asked and he replied how he's always replied. He'd like to do something new and doesn't see any reason to.
Brian seems to be the one holding back on it.

These guys annoyed me.
They are not interesting Queen archives. Do what they want and do it wrong. It can mean only one Queen is dead.
If your a creative person you never look back, it's always forward, they fought for years not to do a Greatest hits, I really hope they do bring out some new stuff, it's not like we can't listen to the old... I'll be happy to get the archives if and when they do happen but until then if they have new things to do bring it on, this is EXACTLY why I got into Queen in the 70's, they didnt just do the same thing each time, what you guys who weren't around at the time don't get is NOTW, JAZZ, The GAME, FLASH, HOT SPACE, were all massive moves from what people expected at the time, the music press didn't know what to do with them, they didnt just do ANATO over and over unlke every other band that just repeated the same old stuff year on year, just like bands like Oasis, hit of a formula and repeat until your dead, bands like Queen throw all the peices up in the air everytime and do what THEY want to do, which is exactly why I loved Cosmos Rocks, people have hated (allegedly) everything they have done since Sheer Heart Attack, yet funny isnt it they still draw massive crowds all around the world... go figure
New material, bring it on...

That's why they've spent the last twelve years touring with a name invented in 1970 and playing mostly songs written before 1991.
Yes but you can't wipe the past and start from year zero every time you step on a stage.
Togg is right, in as much as his observation about the unpredictable nature of each album. I'm sure that if they choose to record again it will be different to what has gone before.
Even a band like Rush who were very much against repeating themselves played long shows that were almost always at least two thirds old material .
King Crimson is another example of a very unique and forward thinking band, but their recent tour relied heavily on Red and pre Red material.
In both cases, as with Queen the live show doesn't always represent what the studio work was about.
As Roger once sung: "It's easier from an armchair."
The guy is 67 and can do whatever he likes.
In a few years he'll move next to Deaky and they can play bridge together.
Enjoy the boys while you can.
