interesting point, ken8, do you think PR did it for the $ or just to drive the ferrari?[/QUOTE]
Who knows?
I'm sure the three of them genuinely like each other.
I'm sure the financial incentive would've been tempting, but already they're getting a dead horse ready to flog.
I'm also sure that a singer the calibre of Rodgers must get miffed living in the shadow of someone else, fronting a band whose late singer is so fondly remembered.
And I'm sure Rodgers, with such a long career behind him can see the writing on the wall. If there's any truth to the rumour about opening for Journey, Q+PR are on their way to playing clubs. You couldn't blame Rodgers for wanting to return to Bad Company or solo shows.
"or just to drive the ferrari?"
Again, who knows? You have to know something about a Ferrari to drive one properly.
Rodgers relies on a teleprompter for lyrics to rock standards........

And must we point out again that it's not only Q+PR who use teleprompters onstage?
There are bigger bands like, oh U2, that use those as well.
But I guess that don't matter to you trolls. As long as the paycheques keep coming in, your compensated attempts to sway fans from purchasing the albums and attending shows goes on and on and on like a broken record.

Who's talking about U2?
You mean to tell me a seasoned pro like Rodgers, fronting a major band like Queen needs a teleprompter for standards like "TYMD" or "AOBTD" or "CLTCL" etc?? Most people down the local pub know those lyrics when they come on the juke box!
As for your line about pay cheques and compensated attempts....WTF?
You really struggle making a case beyond name calling.

So what's the issue with the teleprompter? So what if he uses one? I don't care about it, really. Never bothered me during the Budapest show I attended.
Let's not forget that Freddie once fucked up the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, Roger repeatedly forgot the lyrics to I'm In Love With My Car and Brian totally messed up the lyrics to We Will Rock You one day. Freddie, Roger, Brian AND Paul Rodgers are human. The only one who never messed up or forgot the lyrics to any song, ever, is John. Which leads us to the conclusion that the only sure way to not be mistaken is to shut up and never ever sing... OR use a teleprompter.

But the thing is Rodgers has struggled with the lyrics at times WITH the luxury of a teleprompter. So what's the point? It's a crutch, a safety blanket because surely his memory is intact.
Even opera singers forget the words. It's when they don't that makes the difference in seeing a real live act.
You know, like the old days? Probably not I'm guessing.

I may be be reading too much between the lines, but there seems to be some interesting comments from Brian and Roger in their Xmas messages in the latest Queen fan club mag.
They have both written nice Xmas messages (oh, and John Deacon has written a new Xmas greeting in there too!!) - Brian seems very non committal about what is next for Q+PR and says that there are no immediate plans.
Roger's messages rhetorically asks the question "what's next?" - and says "not sure - a good rest, Christmas etc..., bit of sun etc.. and then???" He then (and I think rather tellingly) says "One thing I do know is that I will continue to make music".
It could be the way that I read it, but it sounds to me as if there is already some debate as to what they will do next, and he is testing the water/getting in first by saying to the others something along the lines of 'well if you can't make your mind up what you're doing, I know I'm happy to carry on, - this is accentuated by the use of "I" and not "we" when saying about continuing to make music.
Any thoughts???
On an extra positive note from Roger too, he says that is finding himself enjoying his drums more than ever before!

On the other hand, they may have agreed not to speak about their plans and to hold everybody in suspense for a while. I would have done that in their place.

No he's a giraffe therefore he can't sing - which is good though, because it made them save an extra teleprompter and make tour expenses a little softer on QPL.

How was the album from a commercial point of view? A flop or a success?
This might tell something about their future choices.
In my opinion, TCR was a kind of 'shakedown', and a first serious attempt of interaction. Had it been a bad attempt, also the tour would have been shorter.
