With all due respect PG I think you are missing the point here. OK so if you want to split hairs then no he has not said "I confirm the dates for the new tour will be" however, read what he said, they are discussing going out together, probably next year, nothing definate yet but watch this space.
So no, not a full tour sorted and ready to go, but he is confirming that talks are under way and they have even pencilled in a time frame, something that we already knew via his tech.
So what I was saying was Roger has confirmed the rumours about the tour.
Why are you so bent oput of shape about the fact that OK it's not 100 defined yet, the fact is they are still planning it.
I normally have a good level of respect for your posts, however, attacking me because I say 'confirmed tour' instead of confirmed talks seems somewhat pedantic.[/QUOTE]
Somewhat pedantic, moi?
I called you names because I felt that the topic title was misleading. As you've now agreed.
However, I didn't mean it as maliciously as you took it - more of a "you silly sod" than an outright "you utter imbecile".
And as I've said, discussions mean nothing - they had "discussions" about Robbie Williams & George Michael.

Well...after these meaningless 'discussions' I bet I will still be standing next to you front and centre at a London venue in 2010 !

I'd love to see Brian and Roger do this - but I just hope they'll focus on Queenfans, and not Joe Public who has Greatest Hits 1 and 2 who thinks that Mamma Mia is a song by Queen. If they go out and play basically the same tracks as they did with Paul no-one is going home satisfied (unless Brian suddenly can pull of I Want It All or Tie Your Mother Down - which I seriously doubt). If they decide to go for small arenas (4000-5000 people max?) AND put in some serious rehearsaltime I'm convinced this could be a great thing. I can't even imagine how great it would be to see Brian and Roger doing stuff like Tenement Funster, Long Away and other forgotten gems.
But I seriously doubt that Brian will do this. I can't imagine him pulling out A Day At The Races from the shelf and learning the lyrics to Long Away. From the rumours regarding the last tour it seems he's happy playing the same old setlist every night without any rehearsing or creativity. I don't blame him - he's been more creative in his entire life than most of us would be in 10 lifetimes and I can imagine him wanting to spend his time doing other things than writing and performing music. But if they decide to go ahead and tour together - I hope Brian will put his heart into it and not make a half-arsed effort like he apparently did with TCR and it's following tour. I'd love to hear some really kick-ass Brian guitarriff like he used to write 'em (Business anyone?) and not some average rocktrack which samples his old band.
And for god's sake - keep Eric Singer as far away as possible from this. And the FABBA girls can stay home too, unless they get down on their knees and entertain the entire frontrow while the band plays Get Down Make Love.

I second every single word
But let's be realistic : our wish (small venues, rare gems from the back catalogue, no c-list musicians or guest singers, John Deacon, why not?) is even less probable thant a greatest hits set with an Amercan Idol contestant.
From Patti Russo to Paul Rodgers to Adam Lambert ? Ouch

Some of the best Queen nights I can remember were The Fan Club Chrismas parties, (I think that's what they called it)
It was down in Soho in about 88-92 I think, Brian came, and so did John, they also had Tim Staffell and several other guest stars including Martin Chambers on the drums
A truely great night, Roger had the News of the World robot on the bass drum.
Now if they did stuff like that it would be great, but time will tell.
Anyway me and PG can share a box of pop corn and laugh about how it was never meant to be ;-)

QPR was a paycheck. Now it's time to leave the GHits behind and do something for the fans. I say bring Jeff Scott Soto on board and polish off all the gems of the past.
That Crazy Diamond
That would be great,
The best thing, which is not going to happen, would be them with John, that would be magical!

I don't agree that QPR was just a paycheck. I think the project meant a lot for them and they were very disappointed it didn't go far.
Regarding the Greatest hits, well, apparently Brian LIKES to play the hits over and over again because he feels comfortable that way and he always wants to aim everything for Joe Public even if Mr. Public doesn't care a lot.
I don't imagine Brian wants to play smaller venues in a "Queen" tour. Maybe as a solo artist? Because - and let's face it - If he tours with Roger there is NO WAY IN HELL they are calling it anything other than Queen and if they tour as Queen they are going to play Queen's Greatest Hits.

Indeed.
Nothing is 'impossible'.....
...though i doubt he would actually want to be up on stage. Maybe appear 'un-officially'...so to speak....

Hmmm tempting...but I guess we are dealing with Queen prods... anyway one thing is certain, If they are going to do it, the venues will already be pre-booked, and my guess is behind the scenes someone is doing that right now. Any tour takes a long time to organise, if Roger is at the point he openly talks about it as does his tech, then I would say someone has already lined up the venues, that would have to be done at least a year in advance assuming they are talking about say arena's
Set list and stage design can be done pretty fast, however booking the venue is always a good year ahead if they want to do a tour rather than just a one off..
I don't know PG i don't know that grand of yours looks pretty unstable to me ;-) I have to say being that you are a pedantic fellow and knowing Queen I guess it could slip into 2011...so not sure i would want to put up a grand to someone that will no-doubt argue a 2011 tour is not the same thing. But tell you what I will buy you a beer at the opening night, how's that?

[/QUOTE]Don't take that literally of course; there is a bald guy called John Deacon out there somewhere living it up in retirement, but you should adopt the philosophy that he's practically dead. Most of us don't know him personally, and probably won't be enjoying any artistic output from him ever again, so he might as well be dead to us.[/QUOTE]

Well, Zebonka12, I usually agree with you and your sense of humour is fantastic. You always make me laugh and you also say many things most of us try to avoid saying, and I find that very interesting and really funny.
That said, I cannot agree with you on this. I personally think that our dear John has a very good reason not to want to be involved in music. I will not loose my hopes that he will overcome such a situation and go back to music until he is dead. Literally dead, I mean. :)
Cheers,

We don't disagree on anything here; I TOTALLY support his reasons for retirement. FUCK, he's earned it!!!

[/QUOTE]All the same, it'd help people to just imagine he's dead because I think retirement is where he's staying, and to the rest of the world that's basically the same as if he were dead.[/QUOTE]
