Weird guy Wathcing Roger
| jontie 06.06.2005 18:51 |
Who / what was teh weird guy watching Roger at the Belfast and Dublin gigs? Also spotted him in photos of the Italin gig. He spent the whole performance on the stage, looking into Roger's eyes. We thought Roger must be ill and he was keeping an eye on him. Anybody any clues? |

Paul Rodgers? |

hmmm strange.. maybe Roger is ill indeed.. i don't now |
| The Stealer 07.06.2005 10:14 |
his drum tech/roadie |
| Ray D O'Gaga 07.06.2005 13:26 |
Anybody looking at Roger, his energy and the quality of his performances knows he is not ill, or at least not with anything acute. |

Indeed, it's the roadie. I guess his job is to look constantly on Roger in case he might need something. Mostly coke/water (or whatever Roger drinks). Or in case Roger needed a spare drumstick, of course. I think it was in Munich when he dropped one of his drumsticks during the solo. Luckily for him he managed to catch it. |

Luckily for him he managed to catch it.He didn't catch it but had a spare one (in fact several spares) on his drumkit. Brian later found his stick and wanted to hand it to Roger but Roger didn't need it, so Brian threw into the audience. |

In Munich I was like 10 cm from the drumstick when Roger threw it after GSTQ (I was in the first row in front of B-stage but didn't jump high enough :-) Oh well... better luck next time :-) |

Linda!!!so what were you looking at? :o) |

Maybe that guy is Roger's personal assistent cause he visits every gig to watch Roger... |
| Mr. Scully 15.06.2005 06:40 |
Isn't Roger's P.A. a woman? |

I have posted a pic of the Manchester Gig which quite clearly shows this guy. This should (hopefully) appear in the tour pics section in the next day or so. The guy looks like Morrissey to me. |

I was watching the Firenze DVD and indeed this guy does look pretty bizarre the way his is just kind of crouching next to Roger, eyes fixed. I'm sure the guy was just doing whatever his job is, but it does look weird, although I don't know if it's fair to say that HE is weird. Can you imagine him completing his tax forms? Occupation: Official Roger Taylor Watcher What are the qualifications for THAT job? ;-) |
| KEVPAR 17.08.2005 04:18 |
That doesnt make any sense!? why wouldnt Roger have one of these with his kit: link ???? does anyone have a pic with this guy in watching him? you make it sound like he was standing right infront of the kit staring at him lol Kev x |
| YourValentine 17.08.2005 06:17 |
link the picture was taken in Antwerp by Tony from Holland. This was exactly how the poor chap was sitting/kneeling and staring at Roger throughout the concert. |
| KEVPAR 17.08.2005 07:38 |
hmmm straaaaange :-S maybe someone should ask Brian?? Kev x |
| LoveRoger 17.08.2005 08:41 |
hahaha i love this guy's job-it is so cool!he's close to Roger and even sits on stage:D |
| The Stealer 17.08.2005 12:17 |
I will gladly apply to be the weird lady staring at Roger and handing him sticks!! Beats Wall Street!! |
| Gecko 17.08.2005 18:00 |
maybe roger has a hole in his tiger skinned trousers...lol |
| Atomic Dog 17.08.2005 19:01 |
Yes it is true, a small man with glowing eyes was watching Roger to see if Monkeys would fly out of his A.. Since the rest of the band had them removed, the only ones left be in Roger |

Look at the expression on his face. Soooo intense. It does look like he's holding a pair of sticks in his right hand. |

But a little wooden basket can do his job!!...The guy not Roger!.......that would be pretty shit! and you wouldnt have to pay an inanimate object Kev x |

He is the roadie, he has to take care of Roger's needs on stage. Hand him water, switch on the fan, hand him the mike when goes to the front of the stage to sing. There is nothing weird about it. On previous tours the audience just did not see the roadie because he was always sittiing behind Roger. On few occasions you can spot him in the videos. The only "weird" thing about this poor guy was that everybody could see him in this really uncomfortable position. |
