SET LIST FOR QUEEN'S FUTURE TOUR. LET'S DISCUSS IT!

The Call's lyrics were written for the 46664 campaign and only for that. It's just to get the message across. It's not supposed to be the best song ever. I think it's good. Brian looked like a real frontman when he did it live.

Mmmm, have to agree to disagree. Thought he looked stupid at 46664.

And I KNOW it was written especially for it (hard not to with all the 4-66-6-4 chanting!!!). Still think it was pants though, and shouldn't be performed ever again (and this is about as negative as I get when speaking about Queen!!)

Not a bad set list -- personally I'd move Bohemian Rhapsody into the middle/end where it's always been and have a guest vocalist do Freddie's songs, but otherwise...

Right Gary Cherone was in Van Halen for a couple of years so I found out today and he has a new band now! I was at the Tribute and just thought he rocked on Hammer To Fall as well as the Extreme Medley! Yes I've got Robert Plant's Innuendo but as already noted Freddie would have been the difference!

I don't think Queen will ever do a major tour but they could maybe do the festival circuit. John - who knows, he might be getting bored at home now and the kids are probably all grown up now! I think if he knew there was a tide of public opinion wishing he would get involved in a Queen live venture he might go for it? Who knows?

Around 75/76 Queen opened with Bohemian Rhapsody in a similar form to that already suggested. A good Call if you ask me!

Even though I never saw Queen, I would prefer to keep it that way rather than have some other singer. Freddie wrote a huge number of their songs and his personality seems to me to be a huge part of Queens appeal.

I can not think of a single singer who could pull it off talent-wise who would not be completely annoying. People have mentioned Gary Cherone but that doesn't appeal to me at all. I have seen Extreme, and I think they are one of the most wrongly named bands ever. I guess you probably can't get a record deal if you call your band Fair To Middling. Thay were all talent and no taste.

Even though I have mixed feelings about any "Queen" without Freddie Mercury, I can think of a few candidates for singer who would at least be interesting, since no one could be perfect.

1. Mike Patton-He certainly has the chops and the stage presence. He's too busy with Tomahawk, Phantomas, and Mr. Bungle and probably wouldn't do it anyway.

2. Ihsahn- Fomerly of the black metal band, Emperor. He is currently in some quasi operatic outfit whose name I can't quite recall. He can sing, as well as play keys and guitar. They wouldn't even need Spike. He probably considers himself too evil to be in Queen, though.

3. Weasel Walter- Multi-Instrumentalist behind the Flying Luttenbachers. He covered BoRhap on the Dynamite With a Laserbeam compilation. I have never heard that but have seen various other bands he has been in. Can play guitar and keys. He has great stage presence.

4. Rob Halford-Why not? I imagine he can hit the high notes.

" Mike Patton-"

Now there's an idea!

5. James LaBrie. His biggest hero is FM. James has a much better live range than Freddie ever had, and an equally good vibrato... a huge voice he has. He would do an outstanding job, I think.

Great setlist, Jimmy Dean... although I'd like a couple more obscure tracks from the 70s... :)

And James could do all the difficult songs. A guy who can perform 'Under A Glass Moon' or 'Learning To Live' won't have any difficulties with Queen stuff. He could very easily do songs like 'Teo Toriatte', 'Bohemian Rhapsody', 'Innuendo' or even 'The March Of The Black Queen'.

Matthew Bellamy would be the perfect guy to substitute Freddie: veeery good taste in music, wonderful voice (remembers me to Freddie at the early years), great showman, and many more things...

Just how were you able to dig up a thread that old?? Interesting speculations, though:).

here would be 25 Queen songs of my choosing- 5 would probavly have to go to do a few of PR 's songs

Procession
Innuendo
Keep Yourself ALive
Ogre Battle
