I just saw Queen @ wetten das on ZDF and it was amazing. First their was the usual musical shit, but after two or three songs, Brian and Roger came in action. You could read the fun and enthousiasm form their faces...full of energy,
And i'm not a sentimental guy, but when Brian said: QUEEN TOUR NEXT SPRING, their came a f*cking tear in my left eye and a bunch of shivers down my spine.....i'm really excited!
so this is a warning for the lads: If you guys cancel the tour, I will kill you both!
Musical SHit??? Well WWRY Rocks and that s all. Performance was great. Radio Gaga and Somebody to love WITHOUT Brian and Roger (man I was frightened they would not turn up), but when We Will Rock you started Brian came on through a door under the stage and Roger was drumming his ass off. He definetely should lose some weight -havent seen him in that kinda "Shape" before. Go running mate otherwise a 2 -3 hour concert in 2005 will be tough.
Brian (!!!!!!!!!!!) really said "QUEEN TOUR IN Spring" so guess its official now.
Forget cash-ins like U2 who are burned out- 2005 will be Queen year - maybe Deacy will join- if not -f*** his attitude.
Better stop buying xmas presents and save your money for the gigs - I will be there!!!!!!!!
P.S.: Americans whining "Why not America": Well - you guys should have been there in 1984/1986 but you listened to other shit and made Queen flop! So Europan Fans deserve being treated in the first place because of their loyalty!
You have U2 to watch - they seem to be more American than Irish these days. !
QUEEN FOREVER

QUEEN TOUR NEWS
Well, the news seems to be out .... Roger spilled the beans on his interview with the Wettendass Web-page gal .... so I endorsed it.
And this time it's not just a rumour. We are in the process of looking at venues for a QUEEN tour in the spring. It really all came about because of the Fender 50th Anniversary gig that I did with Paul Rodgers. We were both so amazed at the chemistry that was going on in All Right Now, that suddenly it seems blindingly obvious that there was "something happening here". And if we were to play together some more, which we both thought was an exciting possibility, who would be the drummer ??? Well, the expression "No Brainer" comes to mind. Then the UK Hall of Fame awards just came up out of the blue. Apparently we had won one of the categories and the request was there for us to play. I had already had the conversation with Roger at this point, about how brilliant Paul Rodgers was, and, since, very conveniently, he had also been asked to be there, we agreed we would ask Paul if he would team up with us for this event.
The rest in a way is already History. The show went so incredibly well from our point of view, and we got so many rave reactions from out there, we decided almost then and there that we would look at a tour together.
This is what we have been doing over the last two or three weeks, looking at venues, discussing how we might approach our collective material, etc. etc.
It's very exciting .... ever since the run-up to that Awards show, I felt in my waters that something big and scary was happening. Scary because as soon as you press the button for something like this you set a massive juggernaut into motion which cannot be stopped ! So bang goes the home life, and anything else we might have planned for the coming months. Suddenly the QUEEN Phoenix is rising again from the ashes, and will take precedence over everything in our lives. So be it. So there ya go. I won't go into more details right now, but, barring accidents, QUEEN and PAUL RODGERS will be on the road, pretty much for sure, around April 2005.
See ya there !
Love

Tough words... but only somewhat justified, because you can't possibly blame fans who did not contribute to that.
