do you think they would take more rest breaks during the concert than they did during the magic tour or any thing like that. or do you think they would be able to cope hardcore!

I'm not too sure. I think he is fit enough to tour but i must admit in some of the latest photos i've seen of him he looks pretty worn out as well as possibly not too well. He may need to take a break now anf then though i surpose. I know Brian should be okay. He's looks never change but as i say i'm not too sure about Roger. He is getting quite old now. He is aging alot.


Roger is younger than Brian and John is even younger. Nevertheless, Roger looks almost like my 70 yrs old grandpa (though my grandpa is not as fat as him). And last time I saw John, back in 97, he already looked horrid, 100 yrs old or smth. I don't wanna think about how he might look like now... I don't know why John looks like that, but in Roger's case, it's certainly the scotch and the vodka working in his body. I think he also used drugs. Brian didn't and you can see it in his body. He looks younger - though he's the oldest guy in Queen!

Besides that, the Stones are in their 60s and they ROCK! It's true Mick has lost some of his vocal skills, but he's not crap. The drummer is great and all of them do a good job. And God knows they were wilder than Queen ever was (talking of drugs)! So if the Stones can do it, I see no reason why our guys couldn't. If the tour doesn't work out, they'll have no excuse.

Btw, listening lately to some Brian and Roger live solo recordings, I wonder if they couldn't have done the vocals by themselves on this tour too. I mean, Brian's voice is not that bad, if he wants to he can sing in both a feminine and a masculine way and Rog's voice is very strong, it really fits to a live venue (remember Radio Ga Ga at 46664?). What do we need the blasted Paul Rodgers for? I hope Brian and Roger will have the sense to sing at least on some songs in the forthcoming tour...
I LOVE QUEEN! "My guitar was my weapon and my shield to hide behind" (Brian May)
Judging from the last few pics I've seen of Roger,
it looks like he's trying for the disheveled rocker look he used to have.
It worked it the past, but now it just makes him look rough (and not necessarily in the good way).
You just can't beat the reasonably priced mosquito repellant OFF.
march. do u have anything constructive too say?
martinjkstones
yea i thought that about roger, he looked better with shorter hair and clean shaven!!!!
but boy!! does he look rough(to many nights on the sofa).
brian looks real fit and healthy, cool dude

newcastle, do you have some hamsters you're supposed to be fucking?


Honestly, the fighting around here is becoming insane! Every topic seems to dissolve into name-calling lately. We've all been complaining about the decline of the boards, but the only way they're going to get better is if this petty arguing stops! It's cheesy, but we're all on these boards for the same reason. Let's quit fighting, listen to the band that brought us here in the first place and share the love! ;)
Resistance is futile. You are now an orb.
roger will always be fit in my eyes! wink wink.

oh come on! as if he doesnt realise how much effort it actually takes to play the drums! im sure he'll work it out!

OMFG .. how old are you .. sickf*ck

But back on-topic
I think he will get in good shape; well .. he MUST to! Because there isn't a turning back now, the Queen Tour started roling some weeks before, and they have to do anything to make it work, bacause there's a heavy weight on their shoulders of the succes' they've had before. And 'anything' also means running and fitnessing everyday ;)
The Hall of Fame performance and the footage at Rockfield showed that Roger isn't up to playing like he used to. He just doesn't seem to have the strength.... he would have to practise several hours a day for a fair few months to get to a decent level and that just aint gonna happen is it? He'll probably think he can just blag it. Theyre both musically out of shape, which is unsurprising as they dont regularly tour.
lets all hope roger is fine .im sure he will be im gonna see these shows give em my support

I don't think we need to worry too much about Roger not being physically ready to do the Tour..

I seriously doubt that he will drum the whole show on any given night...no way...he can't take it at his age now.

Surely their will be a 2nd drummer who will handle the main part of the shows chores and then during choice moments Roger will step behind the kit and go MENTAL!

I have no doubts that he can still pound out the pleasure..none at ALL.

I do doubt he will drum the entire time though.
