A friendly bet

How much would you all be willing to bet the band won't come near the US? I don't think it's fair that they toss all of their US fans aside...I mean, they don't even have to stage a large scale tour...Just a major city tour thats close enough so most people can at least travel a practical distance. My only hope is that because Bad Company and Free, to a certain extent, were pretty big here in the US that Paul Rodgers will talk some sense into the others. I know most American fans will agree with me while the European fans will make comments like " Deal with it." But It's alot easier to say that when you can't wait to get your tickets in four months. As I saw one poster say " If they don't come here ( the US ), then I will burn my queen items for good". I'm with you.

I think you could put on the fire.........

they wont come to australia either, though i don't think i will be burning anything

Awww diddums.

The US (generally) were very quick to ignore Queen, so screw them. Australia should consider themselves lucky to have had shows in 85, after the treatment they got in 74. Ireland should be excluded for being a country so obsessed with the "troubles" that God Save The Queen can't be played (despite being ok in every other country in the world). Holland & Italy should be excluded for failing to prevent bootlegs being so widely available, and Germany should be discounted for having such pedantic judges.

And the French smell....

Will you guys stop moaning about this! They haven't even set the dates yet and everyone's moaning about them not coming to the US! They cant go EVERYWHERE! Yeah, I'm sad that they prob wont be going to Ireland (but I dont know for a fact) but let's face it, they cant be supermen ALL the time!

I agree. They are what... in their fifties, and they're still working hard. Atleast they're having a tour at all. And it's true, they can't get everywhere, so they have to choose the places where they think they will be most appreciated. What would you do in their position?

I don't see them coming to the US...for promoting the musical and gathering CD and DVD awards, yes, but touring? Naah! They're "busy" people, you know.

People complaining because they won't play where they live? I'm talking about America...the 4th biggest country in the world...you act like I'm pissed because I live in West Bublefuck Michigan and they won't come here...No. I'm pissed because they probably won't play anywhere in America. And as for them being old...thats part of them being musicians...regardless of how old they are...It has nothing to do with them being old. It has to do with them not giving a shit about their American fans. Its about them being pissed because some toothless rednecks didn't give a shit about them back '83. It's a different time now. Freddie's death along with "Waynes World" and the recent use of many of Queen's songs in commercials has brought Queen to the forefront of more peoples minds than ever before in this country.

OH GOD! I'M SO PISSED THEYRE NOT COMMING TO PLAY IN OUR EXECUTION STADIUM IN BURUNDI!....ITS AMERICA FOR GOD SAKES!

did anyone here of the band pentara or something like that shooting in Columbine

There You Go

Um, it was a Pantera offshoot group and in Columbus, but hey, nice to know you're keeping up on current events...

Well you know, I hope Queen resists playing any football stadiums in Europe, God knows you all can'tkeep from killing each other there.

Hey, Mr. Mad Guy et al., did you not notice that the "toothless rednecks" have basically taken over the country? There's plenty of reasons for bands not to play here, including the intermittent musician shootings. Not to mention the declining economy. Don't take it so personally.

I wouldnt exactly call John Lennon getting shot in 1980 and "Dimebag" Daryl getting shot last week "intermittent"

That's like saying that they shouldn't play England
because of their intermittent world wars.
