Swansea, Swansea, Swansea.
Where ever else Queen plays, please gig in Swansea theROCK capital of Wales. Although no one can really replace Freddie a reformed Queen with Paul Rogers (Excellent choice, fantastic voice) would easily sell out the new 20,000 Swansea White Rock stadium.
to make this idiot topic a bit more relevant, I'll turn this into a 'general Tour topic' :P
at bri's site there's a transcript of an interview Bri and Roger did with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, with some interesting things about the tour and about the album;
Brian wrote:
"We are definitely going to tour under the name of Queen; we have never said that the band has actually stopped. After all we have been busy spreading the “spirit of Queen” for the last ten years. The fact is, that Roger and I can’t wait to go on stage, we are ready for this."
So .. it isn't Queen + Paul Rodgers anymore? In the interview they say a couple of times that they are gonna tour under the name of Queen...
Brian wrote: Drummer Roger Taylor is telling us that the 3 men will meet after the Christmas for first rehearsals. "But there is more, we are working on a CD with new songs, Brian and I will sing some songs, but there will be also some new songs with Paul."
after christmas, so the news that they'll meet at the beginning of January is true.
And I already start liking this new album; all three will share the lead vocals on the album ... great :D
Brian wrote: Concert promo organization (in the Netherlands) MOJO told us that they are busy with planning the Queen concerts.
so they're coming to the Netherlands .. GREAT!! :D
I didn't say they won't tour as Queen + Paul Rodgers, but I noticed that they said they will tour "under the name of Queen"..
So I was curious about what the other Zoners thought of it..
