Pissing on the grave

I am not telling anyone to go and see the tour. I don't want to be told I am an idiot if I go and I definitely will. What I really find sickening in this whole discussion is that people suggest all kind of motives and agendas when Brian and Roger only want to do what they miss in their lives: go and play some decent music to people who appreciate it.

It took 13 years for them to find a way how they can tour together and why in the world should they feel bad about that - or the people who are looking forward to it?

John Deacon won't be there, he has reasons for that and we should not claim to know these reasons. All of you who applaud him for being the "decent" one who knows that Queen is over etc - you do not know if John Deacon thinks that way, he might have other reasons for not playing anymore.

We all know that this tour will not be the same as it used to be. But Freddie is dead and John retired. Brian and Roger did not wish for that, they had to cope with the situation and now they do what they could have done 10 years ago if they were the greedy bitches some of you seem to think they are - they go back on stage and play some concerts with another singer. I'll go and see the shows and if they are bad I spent some euros for a bad concert, that's not the first time it happened to me. I don't expect PR to be Freddie or to be like him or trying to be like him. He is a musician who plays a tour with some old friends - there is nothing blasphemic about it at all.

Sometimes Queen fans behave like a sect who freak out when an "usurper" dares to claim the thrown of the dead prophet - it's just a bloody band, people.

geeeez people most of you probably consider themselves a rock fans and you've never heard of a band called Free before? their "fire and ice" (1970) LP is probably one of the best rock records of the 70's... i can agree that they had only 1 hit single but that doesn't mean they were not known... don't make me even more depressed sayin' that you've never heard "all right now" beofre the hall of fame show... and paul rodgers was said to be one of the greatest rock singers... and he is one of only few of those 70's stars that still has his voice in good shape... i always thought that gary cherone would be a perfect singer for queen if they go on tour again but i'm as well pleased of the choice they've made...

Freddie doesn't have a grave to piss on. He was cremated.

I enjoy being annoyingly literal sometimes.

And Queen + Paul Rodgers will be great, do a great tour and make many people around the world very happy. Get over it, naysayers, and more importantly, get over yourselves. Life is for the living and it moves on whether you like it or not. If the rest of you want to mourn and wallow in the past and wear ashes and sackcloth for the rest of your lives, be my guest. Freddie's been gone a long time, so let's the rest of us enjoy what we have now while we still have it, because Brian and Roger won't be around forever either.

If you only ever listen to Paul Rodgers because he's touring with Brian and Roger then at least you will discover one of the great vocalists in rock! Good job. Listen to Wishing Well by Free.
