Spike Edney

Spikey will be on keyboards and piano I assume, I hope so.

Any other suggestions?

He told fans at the WWRY Opening in Cologne that he WILL play with Queen on this Tour!

Hopefully Trip will think a bit harder about how he mixes him into the live sound this time; I always felt that the keys were far too high.

Yes. For me Spike is OK but I wanna hear TYMD with guitar, not with keys!

Hmmmm.... I would not be too happy to see him on stage as well. But I'm afraid they will have at least 7 on stage, so if it has to be some "additional" musician, then I'd like him to be the one. However, I prever no additional keys, just the regular piano, which can be done by Brian. But as said, Tie your mother down is not really improved by adding keys.....

I would love to hear one thing - WWRY like in the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame. The slow keyboard line before the third verse was really cool.

I'd like to just have a 4-piece band on stage. No frills, just the bare bones.

I agree dont want them two femail backing singers just brian & roger singing backing vocals roger backing is great

Totally agreed, Scully! I just don't know why they never did again, as far as I know. Roger's vocal part was also great.

Cheers,

Ogre-

I agree Ben. Bare bones, like they were in the 70's and 80's. I hope this doesn't turn into another PINK FLOYD mess with 13 musicians on stage. Bleh! And I REALLY hope there's no female singers on stage. I don't want a QUEEN SHOW, I want QUEEN!

They should in either way ROCK!
We already got the musical for the soft, happy, pop-lovers, now it's our turn! ROOOOCK!!!

well .. you can say that you want only 4 musicians on stage like 'in the 70's and 80's' .. but most of the shows Queen was with 5 men on stage .. and at The Magic Tour, Spike Edney was very important and brought much into the show, as this fifth 'member'..

It's great that he's in! :D
Now only Deacy, and my dream line-up for "The Queen Tour 2005" is complete ;)

And Scully .. you're right about thát WWRY version .. it's a shame that they only did the new studio versions with new lead singers instead of Fred's original track. But this live version of the new mix is great :D
