Is there any source that has statistics on how many tickets have already been sold for the upcoming Open airs ? Normally you just get the numbers only on the day of the concert, but I would be really interested in knowing how the ticket sales are going. Any ideas ? |

is that the best you can come back with If Freddie heard you say NO FREDDIE NO QUEEN he would of shot you down he hated people think he would the only member in Queen he always included everyone and he never left anyone out. |
| Brettles 08.06.2005 18:51 |
Bryans Permed Poodle... You really are narrow-minded aren't you? You really think that just because Freddie died in '91 that Queen should fall to their demise?? There are still two amazingly well-talented musicians here by the names of Brian May and Roger Taylor, still willing, and wanting to perform to audiences that still love them... What is so wrong with them forming with a talented singer to go on tour and give many Queen fans, including me, a chance they thought they would never see - to go and see this band perform live? I went to the Sheffield gig, and I can honestly say I have never experienced anything quite like it... If you were such a die-hard Queen fan, then you would respect the remaining band member's wishes, and support them in their continuance to play first-class, top quality music to the fans that truly love and respect them. |

You did not see Queen you saw Brian and Roger + Paul Rodgers. The only reason they are keeping the Queen name is to make money There is nothing Queen about it. 2 former members are missing from the line up. Brian and Roger lost my respect by doing this tour under Queen and conning fans. Like I've said before the best thing there could have done was to create a new band or advertise themselves asd something else. Both Roger and Brian have been two faced about this whole thing. IT WAS THEY back in 1991 that said Queen cannot continue without Freddie. What has changed 14 years on ? The simple fact is they would sell more tickets to people like you who are fooled into thinking your seeing a reincarnation of the original band. |
| Brettles 08.06.2005 19:10 |
Brian and Roger cannot win either way... If they had formed a new band, and played an array of Queen songs through the majority of the concert, people like you would accuse them of not using material of their own and trying to imitate Queen's image. Am I correct? At the end of the day Sir, at the concert I witnessed, there was Brian May's unique guitar quality and sound present, there was Roger Taylor's amazing drum skills present, and there was the vast amount of amazing Queen anthems being played... Fair enough, John wasn't present on bass, but he wasn't exactly the most prominent member of the band was he?? And yes, I will admit, no-one will EVER replace Freddie, but Paul Rodgers is doing anything but trying to emulate Freddie's style. He has his own take on the songs - they sound different - they have a different - but, they still sound amazing! For me, this is the best I will ever get to seeing Queen, which, to be fair, is correct, and I, for at least one satisfied customer, am not complaining! Thankyou Queen+PaulRodgers, for giving me the chance to experience the magic! |

| Manic 09.06.2005 06:36 |
Don't know about the ticket sales .... sorry BUT BPP, I have been a Queen fan since 1978 and, like you, I thought I could never see them with another singer (esp since Robbie Williams and George Michael were the ones that were quoted), however, this tour is not Queen. It is a chance to hear Brian's amazing guitar work at first hand without him having to carry all the vocals and hear Roger pounding the drums and them both obviously LOVING IT. I think PR was a great choice and they do go back a long way (Expo 92). I also admire his bravery in doing it. They are not conning anybody. Only a total imbecile would expect to see FM or JD. In 1992, Brian said he couldn't think of Queen carrying on now "but in the future, who knows. We may do something." I'm grateful for the chance to see them again, they were fantastic shows. If you choose not to see them, then you are missing out on some very special nights. That is your choice, but don't say people aren't "real Queen fans" because we're glad of the chance to see our heroes enjoying life, music and entertaining us. Get a life. |
| bestiamodesta 09.06.2005 07:34 |
and then... how many ticket has been sold? |
| Cricket Nutter 09.06.2005 08:08 |
55,000 Hyde Park tickets sold. And Bryan's Permed Poodle, I wasn't conned it was an amazing show. Whether you want to class it as Queen or not (which they don't) doesn't mean the show sucked. Queen's music, Brian and Roger playing them, a singer not trying to be Freddie, good for all young Queen fans, and money going towards AIDS charities, aswell as Brian + Roger enjoying themselves. In fact it could hardly have been better. I went to the Sheffield concert. Superb it was. I am a real Queen fan. Don't believe me? Go screw yourself. |
| Brettles 09.06.2005 08:11 |
Thanks Cricket Nutter. Some people on here feel the need to slate this concert, even though many haven't even experienced it! If people had've seen the atmosphere and electric feeling at Sheffield, they would realise that this band is definately back!! Sorry, back to the ticket sales....! |

oh Tero don’t get BPP start on Jamie, Danny and Spike Queen are Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon 2005 Queen are Brian May, Roger Taylor Paul Rogers well is Paul Rogers Jamie, Danny and Spike are just the additional Musicians there need for a full on powerful live sound |
| Cricket Nutter 09.06.2005 17:41 |
Hey Brettles, it was a superb atmosphere. And I was in the worst place of everywhere. I can't believe it nobody stood up behind me so it took ages before I could actually stand. Everywhere around the stadium people stood. First concert I've been to, and morons like BPP who probably didn't even go to one slags it off as crap. I'll use the same tactics as him then, I don't even know him but I'll ASSUME he is shit basically. And I don't swear in forums like most other 16 year olds. In fact I'm 16, more literate and respectful than BPP, and also more mature than him, whilst in the meantime he is a ''true Queen fan'' for not respecting what half the band say, or the majority of other fans on a Queen fan site. What a geek. BPP, if you attempt a response make it literate, with minimal swearing, back up your points and don't try and claim any superiority over me because judging by your attitude, you are quite clearly on the same acceptance level as Paul Rodgers is in your book. And yes sorry for straying off topic on the sales figures, but I did give a figure earlier :D |

It makes me fuckin laugh people think they are seeing Queen when infact they are going to see Brian/Roger and a guest vocalist. |
| Brettles 09.06.2005 18:01 |
So you're saying that Queen would be where they are now (as regards album sales, popularity etc) without Brian May's unique guitar style/sound, or more importantly the other three band members' songwriting talents?? You're so narrow-minded and set in your ways when it comes to the Queen/Freddie debate BPP - yes, Freddie was a big part of Queen, but he couldn't achieved what he did in Queen without any one of the other three band members. As Brian May says often, Queen was something all four of the band members created; something which emerged through their personalities, musical styles and influences, etc. It was NOT simply Freddie who was Queen. |

The Foundations = vol 1 Live Killers In The Making Vol 2 Crowned In Glory vol 3 I think you will find Freddie meant he was not the spokesperson for the band. I suggest you watch the studio footage of "One Vision" where it clearly shows Freddie was the perfectionist and the one with the ideas. The other 3 did have their own ideas but alot of the time it was Freddie who tweaked them to make them better. Freddie was also the one who motivated the band in the early days saying they could make it big. Queen would have not made it big without Freddie and Brian and Roger know that. He took the band by the scruff of the neck in the early days telling them what they should wear on stage. Feel free to test my Queen knowledge you will find it's as good as if not better than yours |

if i was in the right frame of mind (but im not cos ive had drink hey Brettles hope you been out having a good night cos I have) id say some but Paul Rogers is a great blues singer and he brings a new look to the Queen style. its doesn’t matter how may hit you have he's still around, how many number 1 hit did the who have none at all well in the UK and they are still going ok. Oh sorry only Daltrey and Townsend oh no correct me that’s not the who two members are missing oh someone log onto a who forum and tell them it not the who when there go see them live!!!!! so BPP it not how many hit you have it how you are received in the music world and Paul Rogers is at the top of many peoples list of legends including BM and RT.

| Bobby_brown 11.06.2005 15:04 |
I think that the Lisbon concert is half selled. But promoters strarted to promote the concert this month, and only last week they started to put posters all over Lisbon. If you want my opinion, it will be a sell out if it is promoted the right way. I mean, they have a Portuguese television sponsoring the show and it´s on a saturday. I´m sure it will attract many tourists that usually come to Portugal this time of the year. It´s going to have a great atmosphere!! If they confirm their link to Live 8, its going to have more publicity. The reason for the tickets aren´t still sold out is because Lisbon is full of summer festivals this time of the year. So, the last week before the show is going to be crucial, and that will be the week of big promotions and eventually the concert will sell out in the last day. Portugal is having financial problems, so people really have to buy things at the right time, because they can´t afford to buy everything at the same time. TAke care |

SECOND Line-up. BPP, this is far from being the original Line-Up, ask the millions of Floyd-Purists who think PF without Syd Barret is not PF ! And I am sure Queen would like to go on tour as the original band, it is just a bit difficult as John simply doesnt want to (and he has every right to think that way) and of course the marginal fact that FREDDIE IS DEAD FOR FUCKS SAKE !!! I am a musician myself. I want to play. So do Bri an Rog. Why don't you let them just play their instruments ??? You can not tell a musician never to go on a stage again, because the lead singer of his band has died !?! They call it Queen. Why not ??? It's the best advertising for them. They don't need the money but they want to reach as many people as possible. And Paul Rodgers does not want to copy Freddie, the man is too proud on his own, he has a career and life of his own. I will see them at Cologne stadium. If he's good - fine, ROCK on. If he isn't - I will say so, but I will still have respect for those musicians wanting to play !!! |

BPP, this is far from being the original Line-Up, ask the millions of Floyd-Purists who think PF without Syd Barret is not PF ! And I am sure Queen would like to go on tour as the original band, it is just a bit difficult as John simply doesnt want to (and he has every right to think that way) and of course the marginal fact that FREDDIE IS DEAD FOR FUCKS SAKE !!!I'm continually amazed by the posts that say how people should accept the "New Queen" because Pink Floyd or AC/DC or Genesis or the Rolling Stones don't have their original line-up anymore... It probably is hard to comprehend that there is a huge difference between all these groups and Queen... None of these other groups were together for the first twenty years of their career with the same line-up, and none of them sold a hundred million records during that time! Forgive me for being a bit simplistic here, but to me Queen was special because it was the same guys from the beginning to the end, making great music... Or at least that's what I thought until last year. It was nice to see Brian+Roger+Paul in concert together performing the Queen songs, but at the same time it really hit me that it isn't that special band anymore. Now it's just an ordinary group. |

People whp don't agree with the new tour or Queen and PR should grow up and and go and get a hobbie and stop posting in this Queen + PR forum, none of you obviously have any lives if you can come into this forum and post how you dislike a band reforming with a new singer. Anyway. Has anyone got an official number of tickets sold for the Queen @ Hyde Park show? Or is it all guesses? |

Email from ticketmaster: "Don't miss your chance to see Queen Plus Paul Rodgers live in Hyde Park - we now have a very limited number of tickets left." |
