Fair enough they managed to sell out shows with PR but they are not a supergroup and did not win over a good majority of Queen fans. Both of them look old and silly on stage now (as even Freddie would have) The best thing they could do for the music business now is to write some good tunes whilst sitting at home watching Richard & Judy.

They went on tour to prove to their fans and to themselves that they still can DO IT! Good for them! It was must have been very difficult for them without Freddie but they have no reason to despair even if the CD is a "flop". Who gives a toss if they don't have a top 40 hit, they way pop music is today who in their right mind would want to go that route. Please! Credit should be given for even the attempt which took almost 20 years to accomplish and they should still be proud that they sold out most of their European shows. Hats off, chaps! Well, done! Cheers, David

In their usual fashion, they released an inferior performance. Queen always releases the wrong show. I think of the Milton Keynes show as very average for them, and it blows Wembley and Live Killers away. I went to the Birmingham show, and I promise you this: It was a way, WAY better show than the Sheffield one.

Good point. As most people have forgotten that Freddie existed anyway it's a good idea. Freddie was not an important part of Queen anyway. Stupid me why didn't Brian and Roger choose PR in the 1st place

psteeler wrote: Right. They should just stop doing what they love. I'm pretty sure that they give props to Freddie every day and at every show they do. Do any of you really think Freddie would be looking down, watching what is happening, and getting pissed off? I know I can't believe it. The very fact that they play on is a tribute to him in every sense. They haven't tried to replace him. No one could ever do that. What they are doing is what they love to do - play music. They're reaching out to the very fans that have supported them for 30+ years. They're saying thank you...and yes... they're also saying that they are still here and still have what it takes to put on a great show. Get over it. Freddie is dead. He's not coming back from the grave. We have many wonderful albums, videos, etc. to remember him. Brian and Roger are celebrating Freddie's life and Queen's music. Rejoice that they still have what it takes to get up on stage and play those classics that we all love so dearly. I honestly feel badly for those who continue bitching about things that cannot be changed; those who are living in the past and not enjoying the present and the future. Finally, do you think Brian & Roger really care about what the live cd's do on the charts? Or do you suppose that they are just so very happy to be doing what they love once again; paying tribute to the greatest performer who ever lived; a comrade, a showman, a friend. So go ahead and watch the charts, complain about the quality of the cd's, the lack of Freddie, how B&R are doing Freddie a disservice. I'll be busy enjoying the music, the show, and the twillight of the careers of 2 great musicians. As I believe Freddie would have said in regards to this tour: "The Show Must Go On, my lovelies". They can play music all they like just don't use the name Queen.
