Gail Ann Dorsey

Paul R and Gail Ann Dorsey...

Sounds like a supergroup...

ehmmm
sorry people
i`m not male chauvinist
but queen had one male singer, one male guitarrist, one male drummer and one male bassist
it`s not so good to me to have a female bassist in the band
for me `it`s john deacon or nothing

Tina Weymouth - the Queen of All Bass Players.

We'll we all know who we'd rather see playing bass with Brian and Rodger. Don't we?



Tes. Its a shame Johns not going to be there isn't it. But if he dosn't want to do it any more then fair enough i can see he's point. Hopefully the tour will still be good. I just don't want the annoying backing vocalists.

? ? ?

A chick might be good, as then it won't look like "Queen with a replacement" but be obviously different - the lineup will look so different that way.
I don't know what her playing is like, but have seen her sing Under Pressure with Bowie (Doing Freddies bits) and she was good at that.
I don't have any problems with a woman in the "band" - but hate those backing singers (I agree on that one).
I guess it should be who is best for the job and willing to do it?

If John would make his best efforts to appear, that would be fine, other than that, well a female bass player is better than nothing. (no chauvinism meant, sweet ladies)

melissa auf der maur shud be teh bassist hottt

She's still only a replacement for the real thing though; don't forget that. Because the real thing wants nothing to do with this joke of a tour.

put a girl in the middle of what has always been an all-male band and you get trouble

two words:

YOKO + ONO

Havent you heard? John Deacon is playing.

She would be better than other peoples! And connections to David Bowie! Yay! But I'm still hesitant about Queen going on a tour...

Yes but YOKO + ONO as you put it, had a romantic interest in one of the band members. I am sure that Gail would fit in and not try and change anything - I guess it might be kind of like a "jam session". And women do work in band you know, even rock ones. Didn't Michael Jackson have that awesome female guitar player in his Tour? Remember her with the big awesome wigs?? There is no reason a woman cannot be part of it - and this is NOT Queen as we know it anyway (4 guys) - it sounds like a unique one-off tour - even though I am still not keen on the use of "Queen" coz it is only a "half Queen Tour" - but I reckon a girl would be cool !!

The trouble with Yoko Ono was that John Lennon left her in charge of his business and she has a say in everything. Freddie, on the other hand, left his band mates in charge of his business and prevented his family from interfering. Therefore, Brian and Roger can use the name QUEEN as they wish and nobody can tell them it's not okay.

Not that this has anything to do with Gail Ann Dorsey, who is a fantastic professional musician and has done nothing to deserve anything else but respect for her outstanding performance. Mainly, she does not deserve to be compared to Yoko Ono, who is sure an excellent business woman but a lousy musician. Gail Ann Dorsey is a fantastic bass player and personality and I truly hope she will play the tour.
