It really hacks me off to see all this hype about the 'Queen' / Paul Rogers tour. First of all, let's all get one thing straight, IT IS NOT Queen. Just to remind everyone, Queen were Freddie Mercury (deceased), John Deacon (left), Brian May and Roger Taylor. John Deacon was quoted as saying, after Freddies death, no one could replace Freddie and ain't that the truth. He had the right idea i.e. "thanks, hope you enjoyed it, but it can't be the same again" This is a couple of ageing multi-millionaires rockers (think Spinal Tap) with time on their hands trying to recapture former glories and it really pisses me off because I first saw Queen supporting Mott The Hoople, followed them until their last live gig at Knebworth, that's how long I have been a fan of the REAL Queen. PLEASE, PLEASE Brian and Roger, follow John's example. |

Hey, we discussed this millions of times, long ago. Simple: no-one thinks it IS Queen. It simply is not. As you say. But it is a GREAT band in it's own right and most of us prefer this above Brian and Roger sitting at home doing nothing. A great band, with an awesome singer and our favourite drummer and guitarist. Hey they even play Queen songs! What more do we want?! As Freddie would say: If you don;t want to hear it, fucking stay home! ;-) Peace! |

LIKE YOU I SAW THEM SUPPORT MOTT AND ABOUT 60 TIMES UP UNTIL KNEBWORTH. THERE ARE KIDS OUT THERE NOT AS FORTUNATE AS US. SO WHY THE FUCK CAN'T THEY ENJOY THE CLOSEST THING THAT YOU CAN NOW GET TO QUEEN ON TOUR !!! I FOR ONE AM GRATEFUL TO BRIAN AND ROGER (AND PAUL) FOR DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING. Last weekend I did a 21st Birthday Gig and finished with Bo Rhap and WWRY. The kids went NUTS and all joined in. Let them enjoy the music played by the people who wrote it. PS I am an ageing Rocker too (But I can make my Burns and AC 30 ring like a bell) |

You really think he had the mindset "Once I'm gone, let Queen die". John's set in his ways, as sad as it is, but everybody's different. I, for one, can't wait to see Brian and Roger - Roger's a huge role model of mine! |

Yep I've followed Queen since the Mott tour days right through to the Tribute concert! And I am going to see the real QUEEN in a few days time to! I really get hacked off by this its 2005 Freddies gone its not the old days live in the past if you want I for one am moving on and I am grateful that I will be hearing those classic riffs again! Freddies Dead Long Live Queen |

Oh shit it's not Queen another 50 quid down the drain. Who is it then? The rolling stones, status Quo- bands still playing after loosing AT LEAST 3 MEMBERS. |
| Jjeroen 18.03.2005 15:31 |
Black Sabbath (Ozzy - Dio) Deep Purple (Gillan - Hughes) AC/DC (Scott - Johnsson) Iron Maiden (d'Ianno - Dickinson) ... Just a few examples of legendary bands that at one point changed their singer, which in all cases was a mayor contribution to the sound and vision of the band in question, for another one. Sure, most of those bands sounded a lot different all of the sudden because of that. Just like "Queen" will sound a LOT different. But in all cases mentioned bands turned to something equally good or maybe even superior work. AND played new but also old work live on stage. Why should Queen be any different?? Sure you've been to a Brian solo gig? Sure you've been to a Roger solo gig? Why not go to a gig where you get them BOTH? |

Again, I'm in my early twenties and this will be a good chance to go see some Queen material played by a genuine source. Why people argue so much is easy, we all have strong feelings. This tour is a good idea. It isn't Queen though. If it were, it wouldn't be billed as "Queen + Paul Rodgers", for one thing. (thats for all of you who have said PR is now the new vocalist/member, etc.- no member of a band should have individual billing) Watched the VH-1 Legends recently and both Bri and Rog are very adament that without Freddie, it wouldnt be Queen- so there you go. I think that they realize this isn't Queen at all, but the music of Queen, brought to a new audience and a new generation hopefully. My own suspicions is that, in the years following Freddie's passing, they realized they really had nothing to do. |
| Zander05 18.03.2005 22:48 |
Dickie, here's a thought. Just a thought, but bear with me.... SHUT THE HELL UP! I, for one, could give a shit what you think. And I've finally decided to give up even trying to say that Paul Rodgers isn't going to "replace" anyone because there are a lot of Queen fans who are just so fucking thick that I'm amazed they can string two words together. Whether you like it or not, Queen are going to tour using the Queen name and performing Queen songs with two Queen members. If you don't like it, fucking don't go to the concerts! It's just that easy! I'll never know why people keep posting the same damn rant about this. Did anyone stop to think that maybe there are some Queen fans that might want to attend the new shows to bring back the rush of Queen shows from 20+ years ago? Or how about people like me who were born too late to even see the band live? Are we not entitled to at least see TWO members on stage???? I will not argue that these shows will stomp Wembley into the ground. They won't. But I still want to see some of the greatest rock artists in history - even though Freddie and John will not be in attendance. |

Oh no it's debate time yet again(groan) we all know it's not queen that's quite obvious the queen that i grew up with but hey times have changed, circumstances have changed no more freddie RIP john deciding to take the george harrison route which is fine with me so we have the other two not just any other two either. What we have is two fantastic musicians in their own right and a invincible duo of a shit hot legendary rock band who have been absolutely f****n itchin to get back on the live circuit for quite a few years then getting the right person happened by accident,paul rodgers with brian amy chemistry hits off more than once realising that hey this could be reallly f****n good why not take a gamble younger fans who haven't seen them are in for a guaranteed mind blower and i can see topics in the future reading Queen with paul are brilliant etc etc. |

right, Many of you grew up with Queen as Roger T, Brian M, John D and Freddie M, i however was not around at that time and as far as im concerned, Queen isat least two members of the band who play Queen music together so i am learning to grow up with the Queen band we have today, Queen of the past will never return unfortunatly but we should be fortunate to have what is left of Queen and the fact that two of the three remaining memebers want to show Queen still live and their music is the best in the world, so in my opinion i am growing up with the new Queen, Brian and Roger, Queen Live on! |

Let them delude themselves infact some are so blinkered I swear they expect Freddie to jump out onto the stage. Good luck to the people who are going Enjoy the Brian and Roger + guests show but remember when you get back put on a good QUEEN DVD to remind yourrselves what the REAL QUEEN were all about. I for one want Queen to be remembered AS THEY WERE not a cheapened version just because 2 ageing rockers are getting itchy feet to play live again.

It's a new Queen .. The original band will never come back, and when you say something like 'Queen died in 1991', you refer to THAT band. But the band what's now called Queen, is a band with some incredible talented musicians, with 2 members of the original band, and playing songs of the original band. THAT'S it, and it's a lot of fun! Please, don't compare this band to the original; this one is good, the old ons is awesome. Queen 'II' is a lot of fun and the closest thing to recapture some of the magic. Face it; this IS today's Queen .. not the original band, but it is the line-up that is the new chapter of this band, and maybe the last. |

The past is better than the future in this case. Queen 1973-91 or Queen + anyone who will join them 1999 - present hhhmmm tough choice. Plus I did not try and get a ticket for the shows on principle. If they had named the tour as Brian/Roger + friends I would have gone. But I simply do not agree with them using the name Queen simple as that. They should lay Queen to rest and create a new band with a new name. I sure John Deacon feels the same as well. |

I really feel like suicide after reading all this. Is there no other place on earth to pour your bad feelings about the new Queen than this blasted forum? When one goes and opens a new topic, there are some guidelines at the top of the page, but no one seems to read them. It says there that before you open your bloody topic, you should see if there are no other realted topics on the forum. And the truth is there have been blasted annoying topics like yours in the last five months that it makes me sick when I hear again that P. Rodgers is a terrible substitute for Fred, that this is a sad comeback, that they shouldn't use the name Queen and things like that. Stop it! You've said it all before, don't say it again. If you don't want to see them now, then don't buy your ticket, turn off the pc when they webcast it and go on living in the past. After all, the last release they had before Freddie died says it all. Remember that song? It was called... well, it was called The Show Must Go On. |

Here here, thats the way, and i agree, if you want to live in the past then get rid of your TV, Radio, PC etc and use your cd player or record album becos Queen+PR will be on every single thing you own basically when the tour starts, you cant avoid it and when you cant, dont take your stresses out on everyone else, and let young people like me (17yrs of age) enjoy what we have left instead of being a boring spoil sport of a TOSSER! |

Hello everyone, I am a new member. First I would like to say hello to all other Queen fans. And -- I agree with Dickie on this one. I feel that Roger and Brian have every right to tour again with who ever they please. BUT NOT AS QUEEN. Queen ended on Nov 24 1991. I feel sorry for the young people who did not get to see Queen. But this group is not Queen. Two are missing, remember!! Another angle - When John Lennon died, the Beatles did not "replace" him with some one else and call themselves The Beatles plus Paul Rogers.

well really you need to be around my age to understand what its like to have someone say its not Queen when you believe downright it is, im sorry but, i and many other youngsters believe its Queen and thats the way we want to believe, we dont want people who was able to hear Queen bak in the 70's and 80's comin in and spoiling it for us younguns, so please, let us enjoy wot we have left of Queen, and iv sed it before, Queen live on, in the two members known as Roger Taylor and Brian May with help from PR, dont spoil it for us, we have years ahead of us and we want our younguns to listen to Queen the way we will and the way you did, just let us have that chance! |

But this group is not Queen. Two are missing, remember!! Another angle - When John Lennon died, the Beatles did not "replace" him with some one else and call themselves The Beatles plus Paul Rogers. They knew what the four of them had was impossible to replace. The remaining members of the group Queen should follow this example.Hi Sharon Your wasting your breath with this lot on here. The Teletubbies could be joining Brian and Roger and some on here would be convinced they are going to see Queen. QUEEN 1991 RIP Brian & Roger + Guests 1999 - Present |

yeah but the beatles .. were the beatles the 20th centurys greatest cultural phenomenon - a bad comparison - but i see the point as john lennon said of the beatles in 1970 "its a only band thats split up - people keep on thinking its the end of world - you've got your old records if you want to reminisce" & i feel thats a very good linking to Queen now What Brian & Roger to do? since 1991 bri's has only released two solo studio albums (i dont count furia - film project) & so has roger & wasted too many years doing horrendeous. Bri suffered the loss of Cozy Powell, collabarations with pop acts, a Queen greatest hits III - which really was milking it - i stopped buying Queen cd's after Queen Rocks, thankfully the recent DVD releases have put creditbility back into the Queen name. Now in 2005 they're going on tour - ive heard TYMD & posted what i thought (which i stand by)- they're on hiding to nothing - most pig headed Queen fans will hope this tour bombs & they'll say "told you so" & that'll be it This is a new band, they're missing their bass player (John doesnt want to do it fine respect his decision) there's a guy in Paul Rogers trying to reproduce the material sang by the greatest showman there's ever been , its not as if they've recorded a new album with each other (common ground to lay a foundation.. which i think would have been the better move... then tour) there's a few ego's on that stage & reading the reviews they're lacking a leader - but i hope for their sakes they get their shit together There's no point in comparing Queen/Paul Rogers to the band that played Knebworth 09/08/86 its a different time & place, it freaks me out 19 years ago but at that time Queen's albums werent the greatest material to some people.. but no would dispute they were greatest live act on the planet when they bowed out in 1986.. i heard those interviews from the 3 recently with kid jenson & brian sounded more "alive" that he has done in years.. Like/dislike (its irrelavent)but you got to admit they've got balls doing this & thats what Queen are about - saying fuck off to general opinions |

What a pile of elephant shit!! Grow up for god sake Sorry to break "your illusion" but stop trying to kid yourself. Your going to see Brian + Roger + guest singer. They are using Queen as the brand name only. How many tickets do you think they would sell under Brian + Roger & Friends ? ZILCH. Brian could only sell out small venues in the 90's and early 0's and Roger couldn't even do that. STICK WITH THE DVD'S AND WATCH THE REAL QUEEN IN ACTION> |

To Bryans Permed Poodle. How the hell can you have the nerve to tell others to grow up? From reading all your comments to other peoples opinions, it seem to me that it is you that needs to grow up. Others have the right to think what they like, it is a free country, so we can say and think what the hell we like. We do not need to be dictated by your views, we all know your views, God you've said it enough times, let others have their say, and stop bullying your views onto others just because you disagree with them. Your comments come across as a pig-headed little person, who only gives a toss about what you think, nobody else is right except you. Grow up yourself, respect others views and get your head out of your self rightious arse. |

| TheDrown 20.03.2005 19:13 |
Why don't all of you calm down and grow up? Really. it's very disturbing to see all of us, as Queen fans, getting to outraged over this.. and replying with "fuck off", etc... if so many of you are sticking up for the younger generation, why don't you watch your language while you're at it. Honestly, my friends. this is getting silly. I've made my thoughts clear, and also made it clear that they were based on facts, not personal feeling or bias. I'm not about to start a cursing match and shit-talk other Queen fans who do not agree with me. The way it is is simple: if you honestly believe and know that this *is* Queen, and that nay-sayers should *shut the fuck up*, *live in the past*, etc.- then leave it at that and let them rant. Smile knowingly and go and enjoy "Queen". And, if you feel that this is Brian/Rog + Guest Vocalist, feel content at that knowledge and shake your head at the unrealistic people who live vicariously through their favorite band. Nothing you say, scream, or threaten can change things *now*. And, you cannot change people's minds for them, regardless of facts or feelings. But, whether you agree with me or not, It is increasingly disturbing having to read such crass language from people who are obviously adults if they remember Knebworth. (i on the other hand was 5 when that show occured) And, as we've discovered in recent days, many young Queen fans obviously come to these boards. I know queen2 personally, (luckily for me, it's because i have the good fortune of dating his alluring older sister *ahem*) and I see this kid every week, and every week its, "did you see the thread I posted on at queenzone??" Really. this is a 9 year old child, and there are other children. So if you're going to bicker, remember that children are watching you- and if so many of you want the next generation to experience Queen, please set a proper example for them then of how a Queen *fan* behaves. |
| pastieman 20.03.2005 19:40 |
TaylorGaGa, we are on the same side for want of a better way of putting it, those saying its not Queen need to move on and except its a different Queen. Yes I am blunt, but I am only saying what a lot of others are prob thinking, but have not got the balls to say it. Does the name really matter as long as the music lives on for all to enjoy? Unless you have a crystal ball, how the hell do you know how old I am? You assume that I am old, but you dont know for sure, do you? Well, lets clear a few things up. 1) I have been a queen fan from the start, so yes your guess was right, I am getting on a bit. 2)I want queen music to live for ever, and be played live for as long as poss. My kids are queen fans, and I think its great that young queen fans have got the chance to see queen music played as it should be, loud, live and raw, I have had the pleasure of see it done this way (with Freddie), and welcome any chance for others that have not been as lucky as me to do the same. Queen music spans all generations, and thats great, it keeps the music alive, but what pisses me off is all this name thing, and others raming their views on us time and time again, not giving a toss what others think, they think they are right and only their view counts, which is bullying, they are trying to dictate to the rest of us what we should think. As I have said on another thread, there was none of this "its not Queen " when the musical came out, and that is billed as "the musical by Queen and Ben Elton". Yet it was still only BM and RT as the driving force. My point is this, yes its not the old Queen, but if you as a younger person, who maybe has not seen Queen, should be greatful that you can now at long last see the next best thing, 2 of the members playing their music for what maybe the last time, live. So stop bitching about the name, and make the most of it. Most of Man Utd's team died in a plane crash years ago, but the team still plays on, Henry Ford died years ago but you can still drive his cars. Its a name, thats all, it is not going to change your life, cure aids or get shot of world poverty, its not that important what name they go by. Just enjoy the music, live while you have the chance, I know I will. |
| pastieman 20.03.2005 19:43 |
One final point I forgot to add, I am not living in the past, it those that want to hang on to the old Queen that are in the past, I have moved on, and am looking forward to the new Queen with Paul Rodgers, I really hope that the tour rocks. |

This is just simply boooooooooooooring... Stay at home- I'm gonna have fun in Brixton, Sheffield, Wembley and few other places; wasn't fortunate enough to be born in 60s to be able to ever see them live. Now I can see PART of it- eneough to make me feel REAAALY excited. And it's the same for many others. Why is that an issue for some ppl? Stay home and enjoy A KIND OF MAGIC or ADATR on your hi-fi. I'll listen to Red Special playing some of those tracks live... And I'll enjoy it! |

ONCE AGAIN this silly topic again. Ok, so forget this fucking band's name. we're gonna see our FAVOURITE music with TWO of our fave musicians, Brian & Roger from QUEEN. I'm gonna love it, maybe not like i used to love Queen, but it's better than nothing and AFTER ALL I could also love a solo soncert by BRIAN, this is gonna be better for sure so...this ain't 'Queen'? Ok, let's invent a new name...hmm..let's say they're SMILE with Paul Rodgers in Tim Staffell's shoes....lol It's only a fucking name guys. Let us enjoy the show. If you love it, get it. If not, shut up and don't bore us. Linda, here you are again! (kisssss!) |
| GreatKingSam 21.03.2005 10:04 |
"if it were billed as Brian and Roger + Paul I would have gone"? you're only saying that cause you think you might get attention from other people on this board who think that. that is no reason to not see them, just because they are using the name of the band they were in. just think, if Brian and Roger had stuck to their education and followed on through with their degrees and what have you, Freddie wouldn't have had them to make Queen. Brian and Rog are as much entitled to use the name of THEIR band as they would be if John was still there. if you dont want to go, fine. but theres no need to chat shit and try and make others feel bad for seeing a band they love, be it only half of the band. i'm only 18, but i've spent so much money and given so much time to creating a collection of Queen items that i'm bloody proud of, and to complete my collection i can finally add some concert tickets that i've obtained personally from seeing two of four people i admire most in the music world. why dont some of you grow up, or just live with the fact you're too miserable. you critisice us for accepting the fact that we're not going to see the proper Queen, but if you're such brilliant fans, start support them... |

Wrong again my friend this is not Queen. Both Brian/Roger and John said shortly after Freddie's death "we cannot carry on as QUEEN it's impossible to replace Freddie" So why 14 years later are they still using Queen as a name ? The best thing they could have done is formed a new band and new material with Paul Rogers. Do you really want to hear Queen songs sung by someone other than Freddie ? If so why don't you all get your kicks from a tribute band Look at the link below. Do you want Queen to be remembered like this ? link or this link or would you like people to remember them like this ? link I will let the pictures speak for themselves |

See I told you he will bark again. Poodle, are you going to live in a time warp all of your life? Will you still look the same in 10/20/30 years time? Even if it was just Brian and Roger on tour, they would still look the same today as they did on Saturday, older than they did 15 years ago, even John would look older if he was playing with them. Get a life and move on, but some how I doubt if you will do this, so go to Bristol where they are filming the new Dr Who, hot wire the tardice, and go back in time to 1986, and stay there, and leave the rest of us who have moved on to enjoy our fav music, from our fav band in 2005.

So you have NEVER changed your mind on anything you have said or done in the past? Find that hard to believe, we all do it. No, it would not be better to form a new band for a few reasons, they are too old to do that and it would have no long term future. Queen music would die forever, younger fans would not have the pleasure of seeing it played live by its remaining members, nor would us older fans be able to relive our youth. Do you want the music to die? because I sure as hell dont. By your views, as I have said before, Man Utd would not be around (and I am a Chelsea fan) due to the Munich air crash, half the team died, but the rest carried on, and went from strength to strength (not that this will happen to QUEEN due to age). And nobody would be driving a Ford (which means no "driven by you"), as all the Ford plants should have shut down when Henry died. Do you mean to tell us that ALL your work mates watched the show on Saturday, if the made comments? BS, I have not met anybody else yet who even knew about the concert, let alone watched it. 30-15 to us Queen fans I think. I can just see you out side Brixton on Monday with a banner, stating "this is not Queen". |

Freddie is dead, nobody could take him back, but I can't and don't want to see great musicians like Brian & Roger stay home drinking tea all day... John did it? I appreciate his style of always beeing quiet and out of the spot, so it makes sense to me. But everybody has his own view of life. I also hope they will do a new album a.s.a.p.!!

Queen or not Queen, I don't care. I was one of the fortunate ones to see Queen in their hayday. Waaaaaay back in 1982. Saddly they never came back to the US again. Since then I stared playing guitar and severl years late drums. Now my two favorite momber of this mindblowing band are touring again & I am waiting to hear the US leg comfirmed. I don't care what they call it or who sings w/ them. I am going to see my two favorite members playing the two very same instruments I have been playing for 23 years! I can't wait to hear & FEEL the music of my all time favorite band at the level it was intended to be heard!! God I can't wait! |

Dickie and Poodle you poor militant fuckwits. No words can describe the immense pity I feel for you. Do you really think Freddie would be against this? Against Brian and Roger and one of his personal heroes continuing his legacy like this? If you do I suggest you both go back and listen to all his songs from beginning to end and listen to and read all his interviews cause you obviously have absolutely no grasp of who he was.
Lighten up, buy a ticket and enjoy a great show. Don't get so hung up on a bloody name. Queen isn't a band anymore. It's something much more, something that will live forever so long as we have something to play music on. But I get the feeling such a sentiment is lost on both of you.
Hello ......... It's not QueenGee, really? Was it the Queen + Paul Rodgers billing that tipped you off? If it's any consolation, I hear Brian wanted to call it "What's Left of Queen + Paul Rodgers" but it wouldn't fit on the poster in the font size they wanted. John Deacon was quoted as saying, after Freddies death, no one could replace Freddie and ain't that the truth.Indeed. Probably has a lot to do with WHY NO ONE FUCKING IS!! He had the right idea i.e. "thanks, hope you enjoyed it, but it can't be the same again"Please show me one tiny, flimsy shred of evidence of anyone else thinking it might be. with time on their handsOh dear, you really are clueless. trying to recapture former gloriesAnd on top of that, you have absolutely no clue what drives someone to get out there and play music for people. I'll give you a hint - the guys in it just for the money don't last long. PLEASE, PLEASE Brian and Roger, follow John's example.Wait a minute... Brian and Roger read this forum?!?! Hey guys! You still own the show! Top marks to you both, Paul and all the band. I love what I've heard so far, and don't let this raging arsehole bother you. The shows are sold out, the people have spoken, on with the show... |

It's only an opinion, get a life. As much as I love the original Queen, when you get older you will realise that a band is not the be all and end all of what life is all about. |

Hello, In the mid-nineties I saw the Brian May band... yesterday I had the privilege to see Queen + Paul rodgers in Antwerp... unfortunately I never saw them as a group of 4 but passionate as I am I have a very good idea of what that would have been like.. I just like 2 say 2 all those who think & say negative about the current queen line-up: 1.lots of queenfans have never had the opportunity 2 experience the magic of queen on tour and this is the next best thing. 2. Paul Rodgers was great along Brian and Roger, better even than I expected. he never pretends 2 try and fill Freddies shoes he just gives his interpretation, a thing that sometimes sounds strange but also sometimes gives that little bit extra... great show, paul 3. when Roger sings 'bout his car and Brian goes accoustic IT IS 100% Queen nobody can argue with that... (e.g. Brian sings love of my life don't leave me... and nearly 16000 voices complete the song as if it was in the early eighties somewhere in south america ...remember?) 4. of course john is being missed... but who are we to disagree with his decision 2 leave it to be in 1992... Respect John this doesn't mean Brian and Roger can't play the game... for which I'm eternally greatful... 5. It is a fact, when you go 2 see the show expecting a clone of Freddie you will always be cheated... I didn't... it was a great show with a great musicians, a good performance of ALL singers and yes I felt the presence of Mr Mercury in almost every song, you know ' shivers in my spine'.... It's sad some so called fans are more conservative about it than our (new) pope about religion but it's their problem... long live Queen, she reigns on... |

jeroen wrote: Hey, we discussed this millions of times, long ago. Simple: no-one thinks it IS Queen. It simply is not. As you say. But it is a GREAT band in it's own right and most of us prefer this above Brian and Roger sitting at home doing nothing. A great band, with an awesome singer and our favourite drummer and guitarist. Hey they even play Queen songs! What more do we want?! As Freddie would say: If you don;t want to hear it, fucking stay home! ;-) Peace!.....that´s the same i think.....Paul can´t replace Freddie, everybody knows that, but after seeing them in Frankfurt, i love them touring again.....seeing the old guys live is so fantastic.. |

I see Rogers is still doin his best to ruin classic Queen tracks and forgetting the words. But you of course think he's God and a decent replacement for Freddie whilst critics/media and a lot of fans think the tour isn't very good. I haven't read one review raving about any of the shows. Please let me now if there is one.Bryans Permed Poodle wrote: The tour should be abandoned and refunds given. Shall we start a petition ?

I think you don't get it BPP. So - here it's straight from me: I don't have any problem with Paul Rodgers on microphone with Queen. And do you know why? Because I'm glad I can see live music again. And, thanks to the fact I was in Prague, I can say it from my own experience. When I'd been on Yes or Rush or Deep Purple (etc. etc.) I'd enjoyed it too and Freddie hadn't been there either. So why shouldn't I enjoy Queen with PR? Studio albums are OK (I like them), but live music is what gives them the right taste. And all these people are great musician. So why should I sit at home and sob in a corner (like you do)? And to the matter, about what press and TV say about this tour. If I remember correctly, when Queen toured with Freddie, the press wrote usually negative reviews all the time. They brought Freddie and Queen down whenever they could. And now, to my surprise, the same press recalls Freddie and starts to knock down another one. In fact - it doesn't really matter to me (oh, well). Do you know what? Stay with your true and I stay with mine. But I really don't understand, why you have to repeat yourself on and on, round and round. By, Libor. |

As somebody else wrote, the old Queen RIP 1991, the new Queen born in 2005. Freddie himself told the others they could still use the Queen name, so that is what they are doing, carrying out his wishes, which part of this dont you understand, its what Freddie wanted. I feel very sorry for you, as you cant move on, and you are missing out on such a good thing, still your loss, but please you have made your point, stop pissing everybody off with your negative old view. |
