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. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]No it doesn't, but when the song calls for faster and you can't play it, performance suffers or the song changes dynamics. Dead on Time or Sheer Heart Attack, for instance, wouldn't be the same song played 10 BPM slower. You lose the energy, you lose the essence of the song in some cases.

Thank God it's over. I could not stand Paul's nasal voice. Thank you Jesus, thank you.
[/QUOTE]
Whilst I'm not a fan of his voice - his voice certainly isn't nasally. if you want nasal - check out bob dylan, peter perrett, lennon, brett anderson etc.
Also, people are being beyond naive thinking this apparent revelation has opened the doors to archive releases. I can guarantee you that nothing has changed!

And Brian Molko, and, well, once Brian Wilson had Al Jardine hold his nose while he played the piano and sang 'California Girls', and did a great impersonation of the most nasal singer, Mike Love!

I'm not overly concerned by Paul leaving. I figured it was a short term thing anyway. I guess I was one of these people who disagreed with the name Queen being used in this instance but I'm old fashioned. I'm another though who'd love to see Tim Staffel join up with the boys again and do some recording, but under the Smile name and not the Queen name.

Yes, a Tim Staffel - Smile reunion would be nice. But what is he up to nowadays? And more important, is there money to be made? I´m sure this show would not leave the U.K.

What's the point here? Why should they revive a band that never made any impact at all? Quite a few people know who Brian May and Roger Taylor are but no one (besides hard core Queen fans) knows who the Smile are.

Thunder are splitting up, and Danny Bowes would make a great vocalist for Queen. He's a better front man than PR too. :)
[/QUOTE]
True - but the reason Thunder are splitting is cos Danny is retiring and has said he'll not record or play live again, so that's that one out of the window!
Danny Vaughn (ex Waysted, Tyketto, and now solo and with the Illegal Eagles) would be fab

They won't go on with another singer. If you remember this thing just happened almost by accident after doing the awards thing together because it felt right. It took Brian and Roger 15 years to stumble accross someone who they felf comfortable with going out as Queen. The chances of them now actively seeking someone to tour with are slim at best IMHO

... the very end of a long voyage. "Quote" Brian May Rio 29th November 2008 The interview from Paul makes me sad - I was lucky to see QPR both in 2005 and 2008 - only hope/wish that the opportunity does present itself again someday. I appreciate that not all Queen fans accepted Paul for his contribution but today it makes me realise just how much I miss Queen performing as of days gone by. Brian and Roger need to realise just how much people really appreciate all of their hard work and commitment and as for Paul we need to say a big thanks for making so much possible. Question is what now? [/QUOTE]
My feelings exactly, but succinctly put :-)

I hope that the guys don't just leave the situation like they have for all concerned. The tour was never billed as a last opportunity to see the band perform and only hope that we will get one more chance in say 2010. I know we had the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert - I was there but to have such a successful concert comeback after such a length of time just coming out and saying thanks that's it mid way through what should have been a FULL world tour starts to feel a little sad all round. We all appear to have had such a bad round of lost opportunities in the last year or so - no videos, poor promotion, poor ticket handling, limited material releases on DVD etc etc... I know we've also had some fantastic moments but it this really how it all comes to an end ... REALLY? Anyone else feels like we've all been stood up on a future date that still had a lot of promise?

Unless they now do tours as Roger Taylor/ Brian May I cannot see them getting together again as Queen with one lead singer. as it was stated by Brian having Paul as a lead singer just felt right.
I am thankful I was able to see them a few times in 2005 & 2008 as a reminder how much I enjoyed the Queen tours.

Surprised that we have no real sound comments from either Brian or Roger yet - maybe saying less is more? - I would imagine that this is frustrating for them as well. thanks for the posting - nice to know someone empathizes with the current situation.
kirkpatrickuk · Member since
I'm also surprised that Brian hasn't made a comment about this. Maybe Brian and Roger were going to leave it for a while but Paul Rodgers announced it in his interview leaving Brian no option but to post it on his site.

Why? Freddie Mercury died in 1991. It ended then.

BRIAN: Fuck, he could have told me.
BRIAN: Just stick to the script Paul. You know, "you're not replacing anyone" and "big shoes to fill" and "just taking a break"......
