The best thing they can do. It was a dream can true seeing Brian and Roger live in Buenos Aires (I'm too young to could see the entire band with Freddie and John) but I think it's time to say goodbye to this project. Also hope there will be no more projects like this. (Solo material would be Ok).
Hope that now QPL will definitely realese some "new" 70's stuff.

I wish the guys the best and hope they find joy in whatever they decide to do, be it in music, as I hope!, or in other things as well.
They for sure deserve the best! I was very lucky to attend their concert here last year.

it's time to give Gary Cherone a call ? ( yeah, i know, extreme is back together...)but going nowhere up, again.
the return of the champions tour, was nice.
the album was not.
end of the story.

It is kind of disappointing as I think I have watched the Ukraine show now probably on more than 100 occassions - OK certain parts of it - and the highlight is clearly the general enjoyment of seeing Roger and Brian on stage in a big context performing again - I do have to say in particular the non-Queen stuff.
I have to say that it is hard to really take some of the Queen stuff with Paul singing and I simply have to skip over it. I reckon over the course it has been a bit of an outing and a bit of fun for the boys - let's face it the money is there and they can do what the hell they like!
The album was also kind of disappointing. Some dashes of greatness on there but also a lot of filler and some incredibly cringe-worthy moments which I have listened to once and could not bear to again! I really wanted to have something I could hold up to my friends and say - it's still there but alas no.
That being said, seeing the live tour was a fantastic experience and on this basis there is merit in continuing, however there really would need to be another album in there I personally don't know if I could take it! A Kind of Magic in Glasgow with Roger on the 'front' drum kit and Brian's extended solo is a moment that is etched in my mind as well as seeing a live performance of I'm In Love with my Car.

the catwalk portion in 08 with brian and roger was great. but it worked as a portion of the show.
in 05 when Brian did I want it all? and hammer to fall? not something which could carry the Queen name
people can bitch all they want, Paul's amazing vocals were what the project needed. otherwise it's basically the brian may band. which I love for what it is, but to put the Queen stamp on it? forget it!

See, if they were in their 20s or something, TCR would've just been a case of them cleaning out the pipes so to speak - getting into the swing of things before doing a better album. But they ain't; I can readily empathise with why they might want to call it a day. [/QUOTE]I'm disappointed that I never got to see Brian and Roger live, but ah well. They gave it a shot and I'm really, really glad they did. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]They certainly put in a lot more effort than the cocks who tried to shoot them down... like the music or hate it, at least they were DOING something with their lives.[/QUOTE]

I'm ready to cry - just took a break from studying, glanced at Brian's soapbox and... waaaaahhhhh!
I didn't really like TCR - I mean, I liked it, but not as a Queen album. But I never saw Queen live, before my time, and I wasn't able to see Q+PR live, and I so badly, badly wanted to. And Roger insists that they won't be playing like some older bands that keep going and going when they really should stop because of age, and he also says that he's not as fast drumming as he used to be. I will be gutted if this means they never tour together again... I was so determined to move heaven and earth to get to a concert in 2010. Not that I'm a huge Paul Rogers fan either, I don't really like blues, but I liked him live, Q+PR worked live. Well, c'est la vie, I guess. I suppose they can make up their own minds without asking me. And at least it was amicable.

How do we know that!!! :P [/QUOTE]Then again, if there'd been an argument I suppose Brian would've posted it on his Soapbox.

Nah, he would not.
He is not the kind of guy to do so - he will only say nice and friendly things about people he worked with.
Especially if he is one of the key figures in the dispute - which I sence is the case - during the tour it looked like there was mostly friction between him and PR.
PR wanted to do more new songs, varied setlists and spontanious things - Brian did not, as he could not be bothered to rehearse.

Lets veiw it a different way, they went out after a very successful tour of South America which was from what I've heard quite the audience and they put on a great show...so they went out on a high, maybe its good they didn't continue because it could all have become very stale indeed otherwise.

Where do you get your information from, I'm curious? [/QUOTE]That sounds wildly illogical to me. Paul's the one who needs an auto-cue... hell, if I were Brian, I'd probably be opposed to taking on more songs in the set. At least until PR can learn the songs they were playing already, hahaha.

Even in 06 he was incredible, I loved Let There Be Drums more then some of his previous solos, but maybe its more of a struggle to keep a show going now? Maybe not either, just that I remember him saying he's not as fast. Faster doesn't necessarily equate with better, I agree.

The use of the 'Queen' name was also 'officially over' after Freddie died, and look what happened. So, as long as Roger, Brian and Paul are still alive there's always the chance of another tour, album or whatever.
And yes, there's also the chance of B+R being with another person, or singing by themselves.
