The 40 years of Queen book is a pretty cool release.
I'd rather see Brian and Roger do what they love live before they are unable to anymore. Bring on the tour. If the number of people wating around for old material to surface was so massive, they would have released it already.

Yeah, presumably that's why they've just released Budapest and before that Montreal -- because no one wants to hear those old shows ...

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see any releases, but it makes me suspect why they've chosen not to release some things, Budapest didn't make a blip here in the US I don't believe. It makes me wonder about the business sense, guaranteed profit is something you don't sit on. And from recent interviews with Brian, he seems more interested in playing live in the past few years than archive work. Ok, so Kerry is a bore, but if they mount a tour with Adam, I can't imagine it would be that many dates, so I'd go. 10-20 dates over a 3 months tops? US, Canada, South America, Japan, maybe South Africa? Perhaps they are waiting on the movie to do promo for future releases, idk. Now that actually would make some sense. Adam says it's a maybe, Brian says it's possible. Sounds like they are looking at options or at the very least haven't closed that door. I have no idea what Adam's schedule is like, but I thought it was interesting that QE only booked Jan-Feb and then Aug-Sept in Canada, leaving a summer free for maybe a few US gigs for Queen?
But living in the present, sure a Queen tour with Adam is not the same, but I'd still prefer seeing B&R do what they love to do live, they aren't getting younger. And the same hasn't been an option in over 20 years. It was never an option for me at all.

I would love to see Queen live, even if Adam Lambert is singing, but i doubt a big tour it will ever happen. [/QUOTE]
It would be a huge flop. Especially in the USA. They've been steadily hemorrhaging credibility for years in the states.
Why choose Adam? He brings nothing to the table. His star has dimmed. Expect him to be dropped from his label after one more album....if he even gets that.

Well, i would be happy with Adam singing, i mean Queen haven't played here In Australia since 1985, so i would try and buy the best tickets possible if Queen were to ever return, whether Adam Lambert is singing or not would make no difference to me, just as long i get a chance to see Brian and Roger perform live.
None of us should get our hopes up about another tour.

Oh yes they should,they have enough money to live easily for their rest of their lives,and if they wanted to make music,I am pretty sure that Queen fans would support them,so,instead of that what happened? many meaningless cooperations,a record with a few good moments with a great rock/blues singer,dont get me wrong,I do like Mr Rodgers,but much different style,and this Lambert guy..ok,maybe he can hit the notes,but dear,Freddie in Irreplaceable!

20 years with the soul of the band plus the talented origiginal bass player and 20 years with basicaly memories and some ( ...a little actually) creative output. One might say its time we call it an equal and finish it there.
On the other hand a more in-sight look on things would come up with the fact that this is not the case. The concept of Queen has hardly anything to do with Braian , Roger, collaborations , re-issues, films, musicals e.t.c.
The vehicle for 20 years now, is run from the people. In a way we are Queen now. Queen are their funs. The way that the band, the music, the four individuals interacted with people's lives created a life of its own. And after 20 years it is getting harder to find platforms to material-ise that life without injecting too much "foreign life". Eventually it starts to feel less God-like and more like a zombie.

...tell you what. 20 to 50 years from now science would come up with a safe version of LSD. Package that with some future form of 3-D audio-visual technique to broadcast media and there you go. We could re-visit every album and every visual aspect of Queen in a totally different mind-set.
Stuff that would give the chance to go inside Mercury's mind while creating Bo-Rhap and mess with May's fingers while construnting the Brighton Rock. Get the decent kicks while Tying Your Mother Down
...and even feel the fur of Delilah ( that would not a popular choice) while interacting with the dreadful meows on the album.
Well, this is a worthwhile concept to wait for.
