im not sure about this, im glad queen are going on but im not sure with paul in it hes a nice man good singer dont get me wrong but it feels like he might try and replace freddie and doing this will further his work more as maybe a new member of queen which i wouldnt like, if they do go ahead and sell albums with him then i wonder if the old fans and the new and others will buy it, i no he says he will never replace freddie but that would be happening if he was a member and lead singer...im just pointing this out im not hating him or queen for doing this, im not against this totally just wondering other peoples thoughts about it. flick of the wrist and your dead baby blow him a kiss and your madddddd |

Yes, I'm a collector. I bought Billy Squier's albums not because I like what he's doing. |
| Fenderek 11.07.2005 12:31 |
Some full stops and comas wouyld be appreciated... I'd definitelly buy it and be extremely excited about it- 3 musicians of that calibre TOGETHER and an album!!! We don't have tooo many good albums nowadays- one great one from Taylor/May/Rodgers would make me really happy! We so often moan about the state of music in the last 10 years- but than complain that someone releasing decent one uses wrong name, looks terrible or sth like that... Do we have so much great music around not to want this album to happen? IMO we don't... And no-one is trying to replace Freddie. And it's up to us wether he's going to be forgotten or not- if we're decent fans Paul Rodgers is not a danger- they can record and release great album, we can enjpoy it and still remember Freddie... Is being reasonable so rare...? |

As much as I hate to say it, I would be more interested in The Who finally releasing their much-touted studio album than hearing a new Queen album, but, for what it's worth, I would rather hear whatever Brian, Roger, and Paul could come up with instead of rushing out to buy The Rolling Stones's new album (and I'm a huge Rolling Stones fan). Either way, get back into the studio, boys, and create some magic. |

I would buy it and give it a listen before I judged. From what I've heard, the tour is great and this incarnation of Queen may bother a lot of people, but that doesn't mean they aren't talented musicians. Just because Paul isn't Freddie shouldn't discredit him altogether. |

I would buy it, no I will buy it. I already have a DVD of the Queen+PR concert in South Africa at 46664. It´s not the same as with Freddie, but it´s good! |

You can say whathever you want, but you don't have to say that Paul sucks! He has proven already that he has a great voice. The problem is not Paul, but it's no use to go through this topic again because some people at Queenzone can't judge someones work without that shit of "I'm number 1 queen fan" and Freddie this and Freddie that, bla, bla, bla.... I would like to see if you guys are so critics to yourselves and the way you live your live as you are with someone that you don't even know personally. IT makes me sad that since they began the tour the amount of negativity that went through this board. Well, it's a sign of the times... Take care |

| Little Queenie6 11.07.2005 15:51 |
I would have to say that I would not buy it. While I am not against the whole Queen+PR tour, I can't say that I'd buy a CD. It just wouldn't be the same for me. |
| Saint Jiub 11.07.2005 18:54 |
Yes I would buy It. |
| Lord Blackadder 11.07.2005 19:27 |
Like for any album, if it's shit then no I won't buy it. |
| doremi 11.07.2005 20:24 |
I would listen to it first at a listening station at one of the record stores I go to like Tower or Record and Tape. If it's good, sure. If it sucks, ''poolshoot''! |
| chewing gum bum 11.07.2005 21:20 |
Sure I would. It would be very interesting what kind of album they could produce together. Though I wish they would stop using the Queen name and come up with something else in it's place. I also agree with Serry. I'm a collector too. |
| Ms. Bea Haven 11.07.2005 23:04 |
I'd buy it. I wasted my hard earned money on a Milli Vanilli record once in my life...surely a record with new stuff from Brian and Roger HAS to be better than that. At least our boys really sing and have real talent. |
| Wilki Amieva 11.07.2005 23:27 |
Of course I will. |
| Grantcdn 12.07.2005 00:35 |
I would buy it the second the stores opened with it.....With Brian, Roger, and Paul, it would be very, very good.....for those who say that they wouldn't buy it...does that mean that they don't care about any of the solo stuff either exept for Freddies....again these people are only Freddie fans not Queen fans....for if they were Queen fans they'd also want to hear every Brian May solo and Roger Taylor drum roll....it will be great! (not Freddie but there was only one Freddie....there were some other great bands out there too you know....) I'm convinced that Brian, Roger and Paul will make great music....as I absolutely love the live work!....and it will ROCK SHOW MUST GO ON! QUEEN ROCKS FOREVER! |
| NOTWMEDDLE 12.07.2005 02:01 |
Absolutely! PR kicks ass! Robbie Williams is what Justin Timberlake is here in the States, a boy band defect getting big on being a wanna-be. Robbie thinks he is Freddie Mercury and Tinkercake thinks he is Michael Jackson. George Michael I despise too! Paul Rodgers is a great singer! |
| willem-jan 8923 12.07.2005 02:42 |
I think I would first give it a listen, if I like it I buy it. It's not that just because there's Queen written on the album, that I need it. I still don't have the Queen at Wembley 2-CD, even though it's for sale for 9 euro's or something like that. The reason I don't buy it is that I have the DVD, the Video and the "old" release. So I really don't see a reason to buy it. Same goes for Queen Rocks, GH3. I'm not that much of a completist. |
| Brianmay1975 12.07.2005 03:28 |
Actually, I'm dying to hear some new studio stuff. Their last album up until now has been released way before my era (that is 1995, I'm not counting Rocks, GH3, Wembley or On Fire). I'm talking about different, new stuff, made in the studio. That'll rock. And after all, I have all the Queen albums and all the solo stuff - why should I restrain myself from buying another one? I'm a collector too, I would not miss for anything in the world having the entire Queen discography. Besides that, the live work is awesome and I'm expecting the studio work to be either. Good post Grantcdn, I totally subscribe to your views. I also agree with Fenderek. You're damn right. There are tons of negativity on this board. Sadly enough... However, I've been talking to lots of friends on the hub, people who went to see Queen + PR, and NO ONE was disappointed, they all got back excited and satisfied from the shows. So far I don't know anybody who has been to a concert and has disliked it... Most of the closed-minded people who reject Q+PR have not been to any show and I bet they didn't waiste their bandwidth either on d/loading the bootlegs. So how come they talk about smth they even don't know?! Besides that, they're actually being silly in rejecting Paul. If Freddie's mother accepted him, these ppl are being miserable and ridiculous in not accepting him.... I'm sory if this is offending anybody, but I've also been offended countless times in my Queen fan pride and feelings by all that "Queen sucks" crap. You should check the QOL forum. It may be moderated, but ppl are actually posting that they LIKE Brian, that thay LOVE some album, that they ENJOY the new tour. In here, everything Brian says tends to get twisted and criticised (even when there's nothing to criticise about, we're even criticising his soapbox, as if we were entitled to tell him what to do and what not), there are plenty of topics describing how 80s Queen was miserable, not to mention that the new tour is hated by so many ppl like BPP who unfortunately is back!!! I've left this board some weeks ago but nothing seems to get better since my last visit. I haven't seen a topic like: "I really love A NIght At The Opera, it's such a good album" for ages, instead there was plenty of "Bo Rhap is way overrated" topics... There used to be a Queen fan forum in here, but it's all over now... :( |
| Fenderek 12.07.2005 03:43 |
Good post Brianmay1975! The fact that Freddie's mother was moved by the whole thing yet few pp, like BPP feel "offended" makes some of the fans real morons... Obviously they must love Freddie more than his own mother... Pathetic... Did we get the real meaning ofa word STEPFORD finally...? Or is it FANATIC? |
| The Mir@cle 12.07.2005 03:44 |
Ok... I should post something positive here (Well, I would have done that too without the former posts) ;-) Of course I gonna buy the new album... I kinda like the new formula and I'm dieing for some new material. It would be great if they record some new stuff... Well, they already recorded some old tracks in the studio (were they did the rehearsals) so It wouldn't be a surprise if they create some new songs. |
| Tero 12.07.2005 03:49 |
Probably yes... I do after all have all the previous solo albums by Bri & Rog. I will not however be buying any vinyl formats or singles of any QPR releases, because I won't need them to complete my Queen collection. :P |
| An Ordinary Guy 12.07.2005 03:58 |
If this tour would have happened before I started to slightly lose my interest in Queen (new decade, other preferences - like baroque music, Black Sabbath or Soundgarden) I would have enjoyed it more I suppose. Yet, going to Budapest was like one of the top priorities on my "to do" list, as soon as I realised it was possible for me to attend the show. But buying a Queen+PR studio album will be more like a collector's impulse, or the thought that they'll come to my country (which they'll never do) and hope to get some autographs. Otherwise I see no other reason for me to buy it. |
| QUEENROCKS_1991 12.07.2005 04:17 |
I would buy it still got brian and roger taylor on it plus i bet the ones that said no they would not buy it but when it out on Sale they will look at it and think.....mmmmm.... oh i might well get it it wont hurt lol |
| james gaden 2072 12.07.2005 04:31 |
Hmmm - one vocal legend, the remaining members of one of the greatest bands to grace the earth, all three gifted songwriters, all of which were awesome when I saw them in Sheffield - hell yes I'd buy the album! As for replacing Freddie, Paul wouldn't/couldn't because none of the members of Queen or Paul say it can be done. Unless everybody forgets who Freddie was, then Queen's singer will always be Freddie Mercury. If a new album did surface, it would alsmot certainly be billed as Queen and Paul Rodgers. Let us not forget, with 125 million sales under his belt, Paul Rodgers is not without a fan base who are loyal to him. His work with Jimmy Page, Kenny Jones and his Muddy Waters tribute mean his involvement may reach fan bases Queen would otherwise have missed. Bad Company were the second biggest act in the States after Led Zeppelin at one point in the States, something Queen never achieved. Freddie is gone and rehashing old demos that may still be lying around is not the answer. If it's on the cutting room floor there's probably a good reason for that. Many people think "Made In Heaven" was a rip off, so going down that route would not produce a "new" Queen album. I think they should do it. The skills they've amassed over their amazing careers would guarantee an awesome album, that would inevitably get slagged off by the press (except by me because chances are I'd love it). All the tour proves it Paul is accepted as A voice for Queen, not THE voice, hence Roger and Brian helping out. And that suited me fine because I love Roger's singing. If the three of them wrote a new album and shared vocal duties I think it would be head and shoulders the best thing to come out in ages. JG |

| Tim June 12.07.2005 05:46 |
I would buy it. Paul has a fantastic voice (although obviously not Freddie like) and Roger and Brian are fabulous musicians. I enjoyed three concerts of the tour (Frankfurt, Dortmund and Cologne) and every gig was better than the gig (I saw) before. I except the high quality level of the concerts also for possible studio work. And song-writer like there are also no problems. For instance the studio version of Reaching Out sounds good like No-One But You does. And it is our (the fans) job to keep Freddie unforgotten. |
| Munchsack 12.07.2005 06:19 |
Yes, immediately. It shouldn't be called Queen though. It should be Queen + Paul Rodgers or a completely new name. |
| Ayreon 12.07.2005 06:56 |
Ofcourse i would buy it! Anyone who really is a Queen fan would, new material from two Queen members and a good singer! |
| onevsion 12.07.2005 07:20 |
would buy it without listening first. I hope they will go in the studio and record new song together. Small change though.. |
| scprof 12.07.2005 08:10 |
Roger & Brian would probably sing more on the album like they used to in the 70's. They may also get some other guest vocalists as well. Also in the recent Planet Rock Radio poll for best British rock vocalist, who was 3rd behind Freddie and Robert Plant? Yup, Paul Rodgers. Brian (7th) and Roger (8th) didn't get as high as that for their own category. GH3 was classed as Queen + so that is maybes how they will relase it as. Not that I want to re-open that debate. |
| sbrown 12.07.2005 08:33 |
Absolutely yes. |
| @ndy38 12.07.2005 08:44 |

| Grantcdn 12.07.2005 10:14 |
YES....it would be better than anything available in 2006 I'm sure...just think how many solo's and melodies Roger and Brian have had in their heads for the last few years!! Can't wait!! |
| TheGame 12.07.2005 10:42 |
Oh yeah, would love to hear some new material, and would buy it for sure! |
| Ramffiss 12.07.2005 10:43 |
disculpen que sea de nuevo en español. yo no entiendo cuando la gente dice que Paul no esta suplantando a Freddie que quieren o esperan una declaración oficial que diga eso, no hay que ser muy inteligente para darse cuenta de eso Paul es el suplente de Freddie. y los que dicen que la madre de Freddie acepta a Paul, yo entiendo a la madre de Freddie ella esta orgullosa de que a su hijo se le recuerde y eso para quien sea siempre sera motivo de orgullo. y para los que quieren material nuevo, Freddie antes de morir dejo bastante material inédito y de buena calidad que el Señor Brian y el Señor Roger no han querido editar. y algo más aquí más de uno cae en lo mismo que dije en la vez anterior van a los conciertos a ver a Roger y a Brian no van a ver a Paul, yo también tengo todo lo de Queen y de sus miembros y no entiendo porque sí Roger y Brian CANTAN para que necesitan un vocalista, es que a Brian le fue tan mal en su World Tour con Back To The Light. yo no he ido a un concierto de Queen con Paul para no perder mi dinero jajajaja |
| dimcyril 12.07.2005 11:02 |
yes, i would definately buy it without hearing it first. pretty much like most of the other queen and solo queen stuff. i think the only queen or solo queen album i heard before buying it was the works in 1984. |
| The King Of Rhye 12.07.2005 11:35 |
Id buy it in about a second after I saw it on the shelf :) |
