I agree.
Where I live, Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), they really should not have an excuse to skip again this time around.
Why?
Well, I figure if the Queen tribute act 'Queen - It's A Kinda Magic' can sell out this place THREE years in a row, 2004-2006: http://www.winspearcentre.com/content.asp?catid=2&rootid=2
...then Queen and Paul Rodgers can surely sell out this place with one date: http://www.rexall-place.com/
I've seen Roger Waters and Van Halen there, as well as The Police at Commonwealth Stadium all here in town last year, and they were close to if not all sold out.
Just my 2 Canadian cents, really.

Now Q+PR coming here would give Jack Nicholson a reason to show up in L.A.

this is the european leg. so why complain about Australia?
Portuguese fans have reason to complain. 5 concerts in Germany? 3 in Spain? going to all contries (not including northen europe and East Europe) and we are left out? i know Portugal is not so far away from Spain.. but €46 for tickets in Madrid plus costs for the trip? no thanks. how about canceling a date from Germany and ading a new one for Portugal?
We, Portuguese fans never had the luck of seeing Queen live untill 2005, they never did a concert here , believe it or not. When the 1st European Leg in 2005 was announced, i was really mad because they forget us again. But they did the open air concert in July, and now they're going the same way.

Did you bother to read the press release? The one that mentions future-but-yet-to-be-finalized dates in Latin America? Which indicates that the 28 dates released yesterday will *not* be the only dates on the tour?
What is it about the Queen fan that causes their first response to any news be a whiny overblown complaint? How about trying a dose of common sense?[/QUOTE]
Fuck all that, they're not saying they're coming here yet so we have the right to bitch!
Also, I'm too impatient to wait so I'll complain =)

Let QUEEN rest... for Freddie's sake...[/QUOTE]
Oh Fuck all that Freddie's sake,
grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
Dammit.
I'm sorry, I've been really shitty all day,
so I'm going to take it out on the interweb because I don't know you guys soo *clears throat*
Mkay:
Don't you think Freddie would want them to keep making music?
It's what Roger and Brian want to do and who cares whether they still call themselves Queen - that's probably their way of remembering Freddie and if people like Queen + PR, they'll go and check out Queen and find Freddie and all and Paul isn't neccecelery "taking over Freddie" or "Trying to be Freddie" he's just singing some songs with a couple of really cool musicians, and Deaky, he obviously doesn't want to be in the spotlight anymore and you should let him be like that and welcome the new bassist and all, I mean you guys never got angry that Queen had keyboardists in instead of Freddie playing piano, I'm sure you could make a case saying that they were complete idiots for that and that the other guy was trying to be Freddie on the piano or whatever.
*Becomes Chris Crocker*
LEAVE THEM ALONE!!
*Is slightly less shitty now*
Thank you =)

For the Australian and New Zealand Queen fans out there - Brian has announced on BM.com that Oz and NZ will not be on the tour list.

Ummm, he actually doesn't say that for sure
He just lists places that people have written from where no dates have been announced........so far! That's not to say more dates won't be announced in the future.

I have it on pretty good authority that Dallas will be hit on the tour this time around.

I've heard the same about Houston. I can't wait!
It pisses me off so much that people have actually been annoyed enough to write and complain to Brian about this tour and where it isnt going!
The fact is they have to tour places which logistically make sense, and particularly at their age, and considering they dont want the tour to last forever, its hardly surprising they wont reach some places!
People who got to see them last time in particular have no right to complain, as there were plenty of other places they didnt go to last time, and almost everyone else should just suck it up and travel if their that desperate!
It seems some people have this idea that the band owes them something, or that they've been wronged somehow because the locations of the tour dont suit them - its this horrible possessiveness of celebrities! At the end of the day, they are human beings who want a tour to last X long and to be as successful as possible - beyond that, its pretty much out of their hands as a promoter takes over.
The only people I have any sympathy with are people from Australia, which didnt get them at all last time I dont think, and arent going to this time as it stands.
But for people who are complaining about no Irish dates - they went there last time - just do what people from Scotland or wherever had to do last time, and travel to your nearest England or Wales date - there are plenty of cheap places to stay in say Liverpool if you start looking now, and a ferry across wont cost the earth.
As for people from Manchester who Ive heard saying "Why no MEN date?" you buggers have had every gig ever for god knows how long, and Ive spent my entire life travelling there! Get over it and make the 40mins drive to blooming Liverpool for crying out loud, which has finally been given a venue decent enough for these kind of events, having had NOTHING for years!

[QUOTE][QUOTENAME]...ASSDUDE.... wrote: [/QUOTENAME]I find that the build up to these new tour dates has left me with a bitter feeling of anger towards Brian. I have no idea why it’s Brian I am annoyed with. Im not sure what there reasons are for not touring certain places. There are many places that want to see Queen and yet they don’t seem to listen. When WWRY first left the UK it headed down to Melbourne, Australia. Why???? When you find that answer out, answer my next question. Why have they not toured or mentioned Australia!??? Sorry, But I find these ridiculous. I have seen Brian here do solo shows, I have met Brian here from WWRY, yet no tour…. How many others please around the globe have they missed…
……. I am in such a bad mood now… Im going to go stroke the cat and think of a plan.

not only that but i mean What the Eff is up with no US/ Canadian tour? I mean you rightly miss the place- New York's got a pretty HUGE fan base
They call it a World Tour but all i see is- Europe gets all and fuck the rest ?????.....
All I can say is I'm waiting Brian!!.... not everyone lives on the European continent
