Well, I just bought the new FF album today and was thinking about how they will most likely do a big tour during the summer and that Queen's new album should be out by then. So, I was thinking how cool would it be if Queen had the Foo Fighters open for them.
yeah, that would be fat.
It´s better to burn out than to fade away.

...sorry? Foo Fighters to open for (and I use the title very loosely) 'Queen'? If it were to ever happen, it would no doubt be the other way around. If Freddie were alive- sure, it'd be a different story. You gotta remember that the Foo Fighters actually sell albums still.

Well, Queen + Paul Rodgers will be releasing a new album next year correct? Brian May played on the Foo's cover of Have a Cigar and Dave and Taylor guested with Brian and Roger at the Hall of Fame induction. Foo Fighters are a popular band, but Queen in any shape or form have been around for a lot longer and have a larger catelog, plus it's just a respect thing, which I'm sure Dave and co. would agree with, Queen is the bigger band. If anything they could call it a "Co-headlining tour", Queen would still close out the evening, but each band would get to play 2 hours or so... the show starts at 7 and ends at 11, no biggie.
Another Queen+ tour...wow.

Anyway, if this did happen (it won't) and if it were to be a Euramerican tour (heard that term the other day, liked it ever since), I'd imagine that Queen would open for the Foos in America, and the Foos would open for Queen in Europe.

there is no way the Foos would be support act to QPR
Queen are a medium-sized band these days with a mega-sized past. living off past glories.
the Foos are a mega-sized band...and growing in stature...why would they play second fiddle?

IMHO the Foo FIghters suck big Time.
Worst Vocals ever!!!!!
Thunder, why would you think that they wouldn't tour again? I thought that they've already said that was the plan after the release of the new album. And I think a co-headlining tour would be fine and no one would be deemed "second fiddle".

Exactly....but Queen does not exist as an active band. A tribute/covers band which goes under the name Queen + Paul Rodgers does though.
sounds like a good plan to me!!

Indeed. It seems that some people just don't get it. Like I said before- if Freddie were still alive... sure.
Queen WERE a great band. The Foo Fighters ARE a great band. The idea that they would open for (ahem) 'Queen' is ridiculous and narrow-minded.

Harsh, but honest.
