How did you calculate the average age?
Brian is 57, Roger is 56 (I think), Danny and Jamie thirty something, Spike fifty something? .How old is Paul, 120?

Where is the respect people?

This tour is what it is. You either see it or you don't.

Despite an unabashedly piss poor-performance at Fancourt, my hunch is that they will iron it all out and come out swinging.

It's just their nature. These men are not quitters. There is so much pride at stake. They will be back on stage and better than ever.

Anyone who watched the video from the hall of fame ceremony knows damn well that they are capable of great things together.

The battle for attention (Brian vs. Paul) at Fancourt was obvious and unmistakeable. You have two proud men who both want a spotlight. My guess is that they meet in private, beat the crap out of each other, hash it all out, and come out firing lasers and daisy bombs at an awestruck crowd.

I was disappointed by the 46664 performance, but I know these men all too well to believe that they will settle for nothing short of attack and conquer. You're a damn fool if you think otherwise, and you damn well ought to know by now that when the day is done, it's the perfect show that means EVERYTHING to Brian and Roger. It is their absolute driving force.

I'll be there front and center.

It's no use trying to argue otherwise, because know-it-all Scott is going to try to impose his opinion as fact, even though most of the fans know that this is not the real Queen, but it's the damn closest thing to seeing Queen as possible.

Scott will bring it up in every topic regarding the matter, as he clearly has too much time on his hands to be thinking about Paul Rodger's hair weave (hmm, sounds a little obsessive, methinks) than the fact that Roger and Brian are out there playing music. Anyone who believes this is Queen in their prime is beyond delusional, but anyone who tries to so forcefully press their beliefs onto a group of people just comes off as an arrogant, ignorant prick, and I must say that Scott is doing a fine job of that.

These guys are professional - to forget word to songs (We Will Rock You is basically a nursery rhyme for God's sake)is a pretty basic error!
Also, Brian's guitar playing is it's usual unpredictable self!!
Glad I don't have ticket - who wants to hear TYMD for the umpteenth time anyway

Lester got a bit pissed and... is bloody right.
This thread is sooooo ridiculous- it's unbelievable... too much time on their hands, exactly... How about- live; go out; have sex; have a drink with friends; and more sex; and go on holiday; and have more sex; and go out again; find a job that you'll feel fullfilled in; and a little bit more sex on top of that...
Man- you'll start to think that all this "problem" is just soooo unimportant and trivial... It's actually not ridiculous- it's sad...

Respect.

Where's the respect for this tour?
I hear that a lot.

Where is the respect for Freddie Mercury?
Where is the respect for the Queen legacy?

There was a time when my friends, some Queen fans, some not...would say "Damn Scott, I know you are all about Queen, I'm not as into them as you.... but I will admit, that Live at Wembley is amazing" , "you say that was their last tour before he died"?

To me, thats the way the legacy of this band should stay, and be put on the shelf.

Last Queen tour before Freddie died = "They were amazing".

I just want the legacy of this great band as a trophy on the wall of all of us fans....

I don't want it tainted with images of a different singer other tha what made Queen (Freddie Mercury)....screwed up guitar solos..etc..etc..

IS THIS ASKING TOO MUCH?

Scott, that's the legacy that YOU want preserved. It's not wrong, but for you to forcefully take glee in abusing anyone who doesn't agree with your position is a bit much. I think that EVERYTHING Queen has done on record after Freddie died has hurt the legacy. From MIH to 5ive, Robbie Williams and the Pepsi commercial, these projects (although people love MIH and think it's a 'proper' Queen album) have done nothing but make Queen look like hangers-on without new thoughts.

It makes me sad to see my heroes doing a nostalgia act (which it is, nothing new to promote), but I think it can work as a unit with Paul Rodgers. It'll never be Queen, but if Brian and Roger choose to tarnish their legacy, in your opinion, you're right to feel that way. They should have the equal right to do what they want to do.
You know, good times are now.

Jamie is NOT thirty something. He was in the Band Merlin in the mid-seventies.

It's looks as if would be a good idea to quote good old freddie from the famous milton keynes gig.

(free quote from my mind, some words might be wrong)

"I mean people get so excited about these things. It's only a bloody record for gods sake. We just wanna try a few things"

It was about the Hot Space album, but it could have been about this tour as well.

I dont think P.R. is the perfect frontman (My first choice would actually be Treana Morris or Gary Cherone - or both?! Wow.), but he is for sure better than none. And if it was because of him the guys decided to go on tour again then he is a hero in my book.

By reading through this topics,a question arose in my mind...Will Brain and Roger read these posts? Aren't they interested what their fans think...Just curoius...

The BEST tribute you could give to Freddie is attending some shows of this tour; his music could keep to live again and keep him alive more than ever in the minds of the fans.

Does it have sense talking about the "queen legacy", "the respect for Freddie Mercury today", etc...?
I think that you don't have respect of Freddie Mercury if you want to close the Queen chapter in the history of music.It's useless to keep on celebrating always the same recordings, Freddie wouldn't like it and he would gone forgotten in a few years.
This tour will be a chance to keep alive the music and the soul of a project called Queen.Everybody knows that the new "Queen" aren't the true Queen, but would you like to stop the queen music and celebrate the same recordingds in the eons instead of tryng to keep on living the emotions that Queen gave to their fans in their history?

It's a bad thing that people can't do nothing except of find only the bad things that Brian and Roger made in the years after the Freddie Mercury's death.

When will you convince yourself that everybodys knows that the new "Queen" is not the true "Queen"?
Why do you still keep on repeat to write that you hate this tour?


Except for some occasions (pepsi commercial, five and gh3) Brian and Roger made the best they can to keep to remind Freddie in the world without produce shit on the Freddie respect.
IMO if you don't understand the sense of this tour it's because you have something against Brian and Roger that it's not directly taken from the decision to tour again but it's something that lasts from the Freddie's death and maybe before Freddie's death too.
