Sounds like they're really close to agreeing to a further tour of the States!!! I saw them in Jersey, but was praying for more!!! link "Well, enough of this. It makes me very happy that our music has been a positive force in your life. Long may it continue, and thanks for being an ally in the USA. At this moment we are close to committing to a further tour of the USA, in the Spring, so I hope we will see you out there." |

It's pretty clearly going to happen. I just want to see the dates so I can start planning my trek. I hope to make at least 3 shows, preferably 4 or 5. |

Seriously- having done several QPR shows between flying to the UK and doing NJ/LA..it takes a lot of planning, stamina and cash. It's easy to get around from gig to gig in the UK seeing it's about the size of Illinois- but city to city in the US?? Hopefully there will not be too much lag time between shows...the lag time blows the vacation time..If they do a NE/midwest leg..and just move along 1-90,I-80-I-94 that would be ideal, managable and drivable. If they skip around..that mean planes to get there to arrive fresh and then hotels (need rest). I still believe that we are going to see the same cities/time lag that Brian did on his 93 fall solo tour. With boston added on since I believe he only was in Beantown in March'93 on theGuns tour. I want to see the dates ASAP to start planning as many as I can fit in without getting fired from my job..which I desperately need to pay for my daughters college and this expensive hobby!! |

The '93 Guns tour was incredible. I saw it in Portland, Maine. Bri came out and said something like: "Most of you probably don't know who the f%ck I am, but I used to be in this LITTLE band called Queen." Of course the crowd roared and we went on to have a great show.... |

Def Leppard on Rockline the other night said that they will be the opening act for the upcoming Queen + Paul Rodgers tour in America. |

I don't think they'd leave Def Leppard as just another opening band not even shown on the bill. |

I don't think it would be awesome. There would be higher ticket prices and competition for good seats with Def Lep fans. I'm hoping it's not true.. |

Sports fans are the same way. You want your team to be the best or near the top, even though you personally have absolutely nothing to do with the team's success yourself. Human nature is strange, but there you have it.Erin wrote: I don't think it would be awesome. There would be higher ticket prices and competition for good seats with Def Lep fans.

No Minnesotta...oops surprise Las Vegas..... things and plans can change very rapidly with the Queen machine...dont work yourself all in a tizzy and get disappointed keep it real |

| I_LoveRogerT 18.11.2005 17:23 |
I am so praying for a tour here in the States!!! I met some of you in NJ.. I like to party more with you peeps.. So awesome being part of the Queen Family. |
| Deacons 1st Choice 18.11.2005 20:37 |
Indeed it is. I think a lot of the appeal of a gig like this is the chance to get togther with like-minded people...Queen Freaks to be honest. It sometimes seems we are in a minority ( exspecially Stateside..know what i mean?) it's very nice to be able to get togther and hang out. The NJ Queengate was awesome fun. If the Band come back to Boston, i'm up for organizing a Boston Queen Tea Party. |
