I think the fact that Paul Rodgers is announcing more solo dates while QPR is in the middle of a tour shows what he is all about.He used this to further his own career and to line his pockets.Im really regretting this whole thing and i think David Lee Roth had a point when he said that Rodgers strong armed Queen to share billing because he knew they were itching to play.Truth be told he is a second rate singer whose lyrics are all about having a hard on.These guys who hide behind being blues singers are ofter just rock singers who can cut it in the higher keys.Im know im getting pounded for this but im really pissed off now. |

Jesus Christ! Your post makes me pine for BPP it's so bad. It's already been said that Brian and Roger approached Paul and said we wanna call it Queen + Paul Rodgers and do half your material. Paul graciously said no, since you wanna call it Queen let's do mainly Queen material for the fans since it's been so long. Besides you ungrateful ass, if it wasn't for Paul, you never would've got the chance to see Brian and Roger in the first place. I don't understand how people can be so stupid. Now instead of him being part of a great concert that you had a rare chance to attend(remember, it's been 24 fucking years since Bri and Rog played Queen music on American soil) ,you're gonna blast him with insults and and use heresay to justify a completely ridiculous narrow point of view to begin with. Yeah, Paul took Queen hostage so that he could fill Casino Morango. *rolls eyes* What a fucking joke. |

go and enjoy yourself then.your opinions are yours and mine are mine.riddle me this-who before the Show in S.Africa when this started thought Paul was even still active?Finish this task before announcing tour own tour is all i ask.He speaks like his solo career has been taxed by all this QPR stuff.WHAT SOLO CAREER???? |
| Knute 23.03.2006 22:07 |
Besides he's not saying nothing he hasn't always been saying. He just said I have solo dates as a way to emphasize that this wasn't meant to go on forever. He's said that from day one. He has always said that he has things that he has put off for Q+PR that he will eventually get back to. I challenge anyone to find a quote where he said anything different. Like "I'm in this for the long haul." or "I'm Queen's go to guy and Bri and Rog can count on me for years" or something to that effect. Go ahead, find the quote. I double dare you. |

I have never felt that Paul was in this for the long run.He always shyed away from making a long term commitment with Queen.I think Brian and Rodger are more interested in doing something with him.He did say he had some solo commitments to take care of.I don't think Paul's using Queen,and Brian and Rodger are no dumbes. |

What a way to show gratitute and respect for someone who helped light a fire under Bri and Roger's bums. It was a joyful musical experience that spurned this whole experiment on. Sure the fringe benefit is that Paul gets great exposure for his name. But like I've already said, that was Bri and Rogers idea, for unlike you, they have a ton of respect for the dude. Without Queen, the guy had already cemented his place in rock history, and if you refuse to see or acknowledge that, well then there's not much I can say to you that will make any difference. Carry on with your misguided bashings. |

amen to the last post last year, i never would have thought i would have ever seen brian may and roger taylor again when i heard of this tour, i couldnt believe my ears....and i already was well aware of paul rodgers, knew who he was, how big a part of rock n roll history he was i thought it was fabulous for them to be queen and paul rodgers and at the same time, knew that he also wanted to carry on his solo projects..what the hell is wrong with that? i dont get it i am grateful to him for being a part of the best show(s) i have seen in years...i will NEVER forget that night in Worcester Massachusetts for as long as i live. and to add to this i found out tonight that paul rodgers is playing at Foxwoods Casino the night before my birthday and I AM NOT ashamed to say that I now have tickets I am not going to boycott him because he wants to do solo things too i hope with all my heart that they carry on with Queen and Paul Rodgers and I will follow everything they do, buy any album, go to see any show i can..i will now and always will be one of the biggest Brian May fans alive, but I also have alot more respect for Paul having seen him perform twice this month Everyone is entitled to their opinions just wanted to add mine |

knute is correct paul has been consistent in his public comments from the get go hell he cancelled his tour last year just to do the european tour... he put all his projects on hold.. and out of fairness he had a few more projects then Queen did-- unless of course it was GHIV or the world famous box set.,.. there were certainly no tour or album plans with them he got them out.... we got to see some magic again... and he annouces a few solo dates and gets dogged crazy |

| AmeriQueen 24.03.2006 02:13 |
I didn't know about him doing solos shows as well. All and all, I think PR did this thing for a few good reasons: 1. Money - Let's face it, with Queen he can reach a wider audience, be a part of a totally different kind of tour(in terms of size), and he can pull in a pretty pay check while pursuing more personal music interests(solo shit). 2. For B + R - Brian was a friend, and Roger certainly is now. Paul has helped bring them back together which is a good thing. 3. Artistry and music - I don't think Paul would have bothered if he didn't think he would be inspired in some way other than just taking on Queen's catalogue. I think all along he had the idea that they might be in it for the long haul. |
| teleman 24.03.2006 02:15 |
If Paul Rodgers wants to continue his solo career that's great. As a musician you look for ways to expand your artistry. His tastes in music go beyond Queen. I'm thrilled I got to see him with Queen and respect him as a musician. Whatever he chooses to do I'll respect and support it. If I like it I may even purchase it. |
| Gecko 24.03.2006 04:36 |
as far as David Lee Roth goes, i dont think he is very pleased with this tour, or should i say paul rodgers. many times during his radio show, DLR has more or less stated that no matter who you use to front Queen,its like "live kareoke" (sp)..i dont think he has anything against paul rodgers, i just think he feels that the shoes Freddie wore will never be filled(DLR is a fan of Queens music and thinks that Freddie is in a class all to himself)thats my take on it by the way, DLR did a radio interview with Brian earlier this month when Brian called his show, although i missed it, it still might be arcived on his website |
| Borhap80 24.03.2006 05:11 |
Paul Rodgers has all the time been very clear about the relationship with Queen. He is sympathetic and not doing this for the money. He doenst deserve this, and if it had't been for him...nothing of this would have happened... Roger and Brian approached him... isnt that a good enough argument????????? Shut it! I'm a Queen fanatic, but I have brains enough not to attack the man who is to some degree responsible for getting Queen back on tour,,, |
| Fone Bone 24.03.2006 05:14 |
Hey, let's keep our heads cool ! stateside, at least your posts are humourous in tone Paul Rodgers wants to use the QPR tour to increase visibility on his solo career? Well, he'd be stupid if he didn't. Remember what's in it for Brian, Roger and we fans : A friggin' Queen+ Tour with a very good singer ! Beyond the fact that he must enjoy singing Queen songs in front of a large audience with great musicians, there must be sth in it for him to. And look at the venues of this "solo tour" : do you really think he increased his profile that much ? Is Paul an outstanding songwriter ? Agreed, no. That's why I'm not too excited about an album with 12 Take Love. I'd rather have a Queen album with unfinished Freddie demos. BUT LET HIM DO HIS STUFF, AND COME BACK FOR ANOTHER TOUR ANYTIME ! I'LL BE FIRST ROW ! :) |

This is sad to read this thread.. Growing up (and today) I was a huge Queen Fan as well as Bad Company. I personally think this isa great match up. I mean it isn't Queen and it isn't Paul Rodgers, it isa great mix of classic 70's Rock N Roll. I think Paul is a distinctive voice in classic Rock and one of the best. Of course he could never, nor are they looking for him to, replace Freddie who was without question a one of a kind. Brian and Roger were sitting on their asses doing nothing and if nothing else the coombination of Paul and "Queen" got them out playing shows and they seem to be enjoying it. Brian and Roger could have obviously taken many known or unknown singers and they seemed to think Paul fit with what they were trying to do at the time. In all honesty I think they could have choosen someone who could try tp replace Freddie but that surely wasn't their intent and they didn't want to disrespect themselves, Freddie or the fans by doing that. I personally would rather see Paul on his own but these shows are great. I don't know why people are complaining about a guy who is out there fronting this band in arenas and singing his ass off. Guess to each his own but I would certainly love to see Paul come around on a solo show and could care less if he is using Queen to help push that. No one could care less about Brian May or Roger Taylor today if it wasn't for Freddie Mercury Yesterday.. Let the flaming begin! |
| Delilah 24.03.2006 08:56 |
I think Paul Rodgers is wonderful. The first time, hey, I missed Freddie. I still do and I always will. I just had a hard time accepting him and I stated that fact. Paul isn't Fred; and he's not trying to be. Now that I've seen Queen + Paul Rodgers 2 more times since then, I think he's brilliant. There is no other singer I can imagine to front them. He's soulful, he's charismatic, he's putting 110% into the shows and he's brought Queen back to us. As people have pointed out time and time again, it's Brian and Roger who wanted this guy to front the band and it's working. When they do Bad Company tunes during the show, THEY KICK ASS, all of them. Tonight I will see them for the last time on this tour. I can't wait and I will be cheering every bit for Paul as I do for the others. I have been a fan of this band for 30 years, and hell, if I can accept him, anyone should be able to give him the benefit of the doubt. |

And the only reason Roth is complaining about them touring with Paul Rodgers is because he wishes HE had that gig. It wasn't so long ago that Mr. Roth was himself "playing state fairs and tractor pulls". Somebody sticks a microphone in this mook's face and suddenly his opinion is supposed to matter?

Thanks for pointing that out. It's too bad he's not donating all the money he's made from the tour to charity like Saint Brian and Saint Roger. They all did it to further their careers. In fact, ALL musicians tour to further their careers. It's called "going to work". You should get out of your mom's basement and give it a shot. |

You all realize that when the Eagles did their first reunion tour called the "Hell Freezes Over World Tour 1994-1996 Live!" that in the middle of 1995 two of their members (Joe Walsh and Don Henley I believe it was) actually did their own solo tours for their own hit compilations for a little while, right? It is no biggie and frankly it is probably all a good thing! He is promoting himself which does nothing but help this whole Queen + Paul Rodgers thing now. I think if Queen wanted to do a few shows without him as well that would be cool too. I will tell you this. I think that Queen need to tour more of the world AND return to the U.S. For one there are a bunch of places here that they did not tour AND they need to tour some of the same places again because you have to work in places in order to re-build your fanbase up again. They need to do it still badly here in the U.S. AND they have been successful at doing this so far. Remember with SOME attendance not being so great on some dates this tour has done very well compared to what Brian said a number of years ago that Queen would have to do when touring the U.S. at first again and that was to tour in clubs. This tour has been a far cry from that. So "Don't Stop Now" and keep bringing it on! |
| stateside fan 24.03.2006 11:52 |
Hey Doc i have more money then your family tree combined if we have to get childish.I support this tour.I report all the attendance each night by calling 3-5 people a day and verifying then posting here and at wegotit.com.I have seen three shows and have bought tix for many others as gifts.all im saying if you would pay attention is wait until this is done then move gracefully.To announce this half way through would be like Queen saying we are touring with George Micheal starting in July after this.Let it run its course.Why do people get personal(some people)when this is a forum for a good debate.Grow up and take your meds. |

Yeah, Paul took Queen hostage so that he could fill Casino Morango. *rolls eyes* What a fucking joke.All of the above points are true. More importantly to stateside: Paul Rodgers WAS active before you heard of him for the Queen+ tour. I saw Bad Co. in 2001 (he was with "half" the band no less). I have to say, that performance felt flat to me. His material played with our boys has SO much more oomph to it. Now, on to the bigger point: Here is some reasearch -- Did you know PAUL had a solo tour booked before QUEEN+ toured last spring? If you would like it, I will send you scans of newspaper (that thing before the internet?)articles from places like Madras, Oregon. He was scheduled to play this little town in 2005, and when the tour was announced, a couple of articles appeared saying his management assures everyone he will still play there, and they were all thrilled a big rock-n-roll star would consider honoring his obligations in their tiny town. Then, as the QUEEN+ tour dates were expanded, he ultimately cancelled the show in Madras (see, Im using the name again so you can put it in an internet search engine and "verify" this). His planned date there was ONE of several planned during the same time Queen+ blazed across Europe. Regardless of your opinions on Paul, his voice, his suitability as a singer for Queen, etc, please, could you next time maybe just "suggest" such allegations (as Paul using this to enhance his own career) instead of throwing them out as "fact" for us? Having said that -- If I were in his shoes, I would be excited that throwing in with Queen boosted my rep and brought in some more sales. And if he decides hes gonna go back out there and work some of the smaller clubs and halls as he planned before he hooked up with our heroes, shit, my hat is off to the man. Btw statesidefan, I toned down my post, I started ranting myself! I wish I could just chalk it up to having seen so many stupid/negative posts on here the last several years, but reality is I was just a smartass. Wasnt supposed to be a personal attack. My point is: Paul DID have a career prior to this tour that was in full swing (that doesnt mean huge stadium tours are the only way to measure success). A few years ago he released a Grammy-award winning solo album, following that up with several more collaborations, leading up to a lot of small gigs, as I said, even gigs scheduled during the time our boys were doing their (not there, or theyre) Euro-tour. He had a Bad Co. semi-reunion (he referred to it as a sort-of contractual obligation recently) -- even an album, so I dont think he was invisible. Certainly off my radar for a long time, too, though. I only saw Bad Co. cuz they were touring with Styx ;) And like I said, Bad Co. felt very flat to me. Surprisingly, Paul's material seems to have zing and real crowd popularity with our boys, and I dont just mean in the USA, I saw them overseas in 2005, and if anything, his stuff had more sing-alongs (course, his songs lean in that direction). Anyway, rant |

I DONT think it is wrong for him to make a ton of money from all of us Queen fans... of course, I also dont think its wrong for him to then go back and play the shithole clubs he was playing before he made that assload of cash from us. So yeah, he just might be a trooper. No Mother Teresa, but pretty cool to do that anyway, yknow? Donna13: good point, Paul had fewer dates on his tours sometimes because he didnt stretch his voice so far so often, which might also account for the reason stateside hadnt heard of any of his touring: not that many dates on his tours. Well, that and the fact the places like Madras, Oregon ARE rinky-dink size. :) Daniel |

OK stateside, share your infinite wisdom with us and tell us this: If, as you state, PR is only concerned with money and lining his pockets, why wouldn't he take this Queen gig as far as he can? He definitely won't make more money playing solo gigs. It seems to me that he may have other concerns other than money. It doesn't add up. And before you get indignant about personal attacks, go read your initial post - a flat out attack on PR's character and talent. |

I just looked at their website and they say "entertainment for all ages" so I think that means that as long as you stay out of the "lounges" and "clubs" you'll be OK (and watch out for the lounge lizzards in the hallways). Paul is playing at the Fox Theatre which seats 1400 theatre style - in rows. The picture does not show tables. So, this should be safe for you. If I were you I would call them to find out for sure. link |

I've been reading every newpaper article and I've never read such a quote. I think you're referring to this Philidelphia link interview article where he says; "The subject of recording a new album has come up. It's a question of time and opportunity. There isn't a pressing financial need to do it. They're well-fixed, what with the royalties from the albums and the Queen stage musical ["We Will Rock You"] and the laser shows. I'm not in the same place, but I live frugally and have more than enough to cover the rest of my life. So we'll see." Now where in the heck did you get "not set for life" and "the money is a factor to me" ? Oh BTW this is also the article in which he says this; "Originally, we thought about going out as May, Taylor and Rodgers, kind of like Crosby, Stills & Nash. Then they came back with, "How about touring as Queen with Paul Rodgers?" That floored me. But it didn't take too long to think it through. Originally, they wanted us to do 50 percent my songs. I said, "I'm really flattered, but you guys haven't toured in 25 years, so it should be your moment." Look man, you are intitled to your views but don't just spread misinformation because you have an issue with the guy, unless you just misunderstood him. Regardless,like someone brought up earlier in this thread: If Paul was all about lining his pockets, don't you think he would drop his solo stuff and keep his collaboration with Queen going? |

I'm willing to bet you can't come up with this mysterious audio clip. Who's the one that looks silly? No wonder you're so willing to drop it. Anyways I'm done playing this game. I'm not gonna respond to you anymore. Good day. |

Roxxanne, I think, wins this argument. She's got tickets to see Paul perform in May. |

thanks for that Donna you know i am a Queen fan from the 70s, lived , breathed, ate slept them, you all know what i mean i was a Bad Company Fan, love Pauls voice when this collaboration happened, WOW what a BLAST! i saw QPR in Worcester and Uniondale, if finances allowed I would follow this tour to the end, especially in Vancouver, but that wont happen so I am thankful I saw them when I did and i swore that if Paul toured solo, I would go see him again when I saw the FOxwoods date, I couldnt believe my eyes when i went yesterday to get the tickets, well, the theater only holds 1400 people and I bought good tickets, the best so I can see him up close and personal I dont care about his finances, its not my business, he is an amazing singer and performer,Brian has obviously endorsed his solo dates by posting them on his website and I am counting the days to see him on May 20th, which is the day before my birthday wouldnt miss it for the world theres just so much time wasted on should he have, why did he.....whatever, he is a performer, doing what he loves, with Queen, Bad Company, solo, whatever,,, its gonna be great |

Money has nothing to do with why Paul has continued to pursue his solo work. It is part of who he is as a person. He creates his own music and has done so for over 35 years. Q+PR is just one stop on his musical journey. There may be more Q+PR but if there isn't then I'm glad I got to see them twice. It is not an insult to Queen or Queen fans. I hope he'll play a casino near me. |

In the words of that PCP-fiend, convicted Felon Rodney King... ... ...wait--what the "F" did he say, again...? |

What are you smoking stateside fan?? Do you actually think Rodgers is the first musician ever to tour solo while his band is taking a break. Happens every day. Pick any band from any generation, members always working on side projects and solo projects in their down time...the Stones, Who, Floyd, Genesis, Aerosmith, Matchbox 20, Eagles, DMB, Crue, Van Halen, Zeppelin, Skynyrd, STP....shall I continue? Musicians are creative souls. When they're not in studio or on the road, they're usually in studio or on the road. Get it? Look, if you don't like Rodgers, that's understandable, not everyone does. But don't knock a musician for taking his craft to his audience. |

My wife and I had such a blast in Worcester that we too are going to Foxwoods to see Paul play all his classic killer tunes! I went to Worcester for Queen and was so impressed by their performance and Paul's energy that another taste, although without Brian & Roger, will be a wonderful event in itself. |

I actually prefer that Paul said this....as he told VH1 "I am not the lead singer of Queen, that would be Freddie Mercury, I am simply filling in because Freddie isn't here." Enough said. |

stateside fan, Your attempt to portray Paul Rodgers as some kind of selfish, money-grubbing opportunist is truly sad. You clearly do not know Paul, or anything about what kind of person he is. As someone who does know him, I can tell you that you are so far off-base with this thread that it isn't even funny. Shit-stirring for the mere sake of it is not a good thing. ;^) |
