I'm starting to wonder whether Brian & Roger are "testing the water" with Queen fans to see whether they would accept a relacement for Freddie. Perhaps it is their opinion that Queen fans might"soften up" and warm to Paul Rodgers during and after this tour which would then allow them to do another album and live shows under the name Queen and then install Rodgers as a more permanent fixture. If this is their mission they are succeding considering some people on here appear to idolise the ground Rodgers walks on. Prince Charles knew the British public would never accept Camilla after Diana's death straightaway and left it many years before publicly declaring his love for her and marrying her Do Brian and Roger want to be Queen again instead of Queen + ? If yes, this poodle will not be fooled and I will never ever ever accept anybody else to replace Freddie. |

So what. They could do a lot worse than Paul Rodgers. At least the music is alive and there would be more chances of seeingthem live. |
| bohemian 11513 06.06.2005 15:29 |
Thank God it´s Queen + Paul Rodgers instead of Queen + Camilla Parker Bowles... She could never replace Freddie in any way... Don´t you agree that even Charles would have taken Freddie instead of her? Even Freddie´s c**k was bigger than her´s... :-)) God save the Queen... long may she reign! ;-) |

I don't have a problem with the tour, and I wouldn't have a problem with them doing new material together. I wouldn't have too much of a problem if they did drop the + PR label, 'cause I'm mature enough to recognise the difference between Queen with Freddie Mercury and Queen and Paul Rodgers. I'd prefer it if they didn't market BM/RT/PR Queen (and I'd prefer them not to because of John as much as Fred), but it won't bother me if they do. I just hope that whatever they do is good quality and that I enjoy it. To me, it's all about the music. And if they do good music, then great. If they do average music, then fine. If they do crap music, then fair enough, I'll acknoweldge that it's crap and say it's a shame. That it. Life's too short. Enjoy what you can get out of it, and let the rest slide. |

I agree with BPP. No surprise there. Freddie - You and Only You.! |

I think Oberon summed up my opinion pretty well. |

"Are Brian & Roger Doing A Prince Charles & Camilla?" Oh. So many wiseass responses in intrepreting the words in this topic and so little time . . . Nope. Can't do it. Won't post any snarky responses about Prince Charles and his bride, but I've got a ton of cheap shot, rude comments pushing the limits of good form that I am keeping bottled up. Not a shot at you, BPP, or really even at Prince Charles and Camilla, but just a fun topic with which I could have a wiseass's field day. --Crazy |

I think with out Freddie they will always be Queen + (which won't stop most from calling them Queen anyway).....really who cares as long as they keep touring and making new music...it's fantastic! |
| dragonzflame 06.06.2005 22:41 |
I don't really give a bugger what they do. Like Oberon said, I can distinguish between Queen with Freddie and Queen without. And it's not like they'll ever bother to come out here anyway (the musical went from Australia to Japan, for heaven's sake) so it makes no difference to me. |
| bgordon88 07.06.2005 02:04 |
The thing is right it's only Queen fans who are calling them Queen +PR. The press and general public are still calling them Queen. So quite frankly they may as well use the name. |

Like PR is gonna hang around long anyway. I'm sure he sees the 2005 tour like Christopher Eccleston sees being the new Doctor Who; something interesting to do once but then move on and not get committed to it |

| Munchsack 07.06.2005 08:17 |
I would accept Queen+Paul Rodgers to become Queen, but only with Deaky. Otherwise they can form a new band. |

I doubt if Paul Rodgers does become a personal fixture his name would get dropped. He was a name before Queen were and in the world of rock he is a legend, probably the most respected vocalist alive along with Robert Plant. That respect comes from his peers as well as the fans so dropping his name would be false economy. There are plenty of fans who attended the tour because Paul was present, hence the Bad Company and Free material being played. Paul has had an amazing career so in the unlikely event this does become a long standing arrangement, a name shortening to just "Queen" would be bizarre. JG |

I love the band and love Freddie's solo stuff as well. When you have such a unique one off superstar like Freddie was, it is very difficult for me to hear a Queen song that is not song by Freddie and in Freddie's style. |

Ok, let's say it were Brian who died and Freddie was still here. (horrible examples we have to deal with but it's come to this.) So..a great guitar legend has agreed to tour with them...let's say...Steve Vai. And so the Queen + Steve Vai tour begins...would you complain? I doubt there'd be that many moaners as there is now. BPP; you don't like the tour that's fine. - I don't care if you don't support Brian and Roger in what they do. - I don't care if you don't appreciate Paul Rodgers as the blues legend he is. But PLEASE, why do you have to spam these boards with the sheer amount of topics about the SAME THING. I think we get the point that you don't like Paul Rodgers. We KNOW you don't like the tour so shut up and get over it you sad twat.I agree....and I don't like the tour but I don't go on and on about it. |

BPP, you're setting such a bad stereotype for q+pr haters...On the other side of the coin there are people on here who can't stop going on about how brilliant this tour is, so it works both ways. At least the topics I start provoke a response from both sides. Or would you rather reply to these "100's of Top 5 this and that posts?". Another set of people who bore the pants of me on here are the ones who are "obessed" with after each gig knowing what the fucking set list was. Did they play this did they play that, why was this song missed off. So fuckin what, who cares. I hope to god these gigs are a one off. Linda you remind me of a pet owner who is desperate to keep her terminally ill pet alive for a long as she can. You would love to see Brian and Roger perform as Queen + with anybody even if they were shit. I bet you were well proud of the boys when they performed with 5ive were'nt you ? even though most Queen fans thought it embarrasing. |

The name Queen I think, and I believe Brian and Roger think also, is something semi-sacred. To just use the name Queen would be to accept Paul Rodgers as a replacement for Freddie, and therefore part of Queen, instead of what he is now - a fantastic vocalist in his own right, who is standing in for the greatest ever performer, and the only frontman for Queen...... but basically, Id love to see new material from QPR, provided it remains Queen+ Paul Rodgers. And no - I dont think its a Charles and Camilla - we all knew this tour could lead into an album long ago, and I think most people wouldve jumped at the chance for new material a year ago, even if it was a collaboration with a new vocalist - were not being sweetened up; its just been great to hear the classic songs live again! |
