Mr. Scully-
You are often disappointed by Queen?
Please explain.

Sure it will be shit, like all the dates of the tour.
I am happy that you won't join a show because i'm happy that Brian and Roger doesn't have fans so stupid.
First of all, i'm not that pessimist.
Then, I don't like everything that queen do just 'cos they're my 'heroes'!
But i have to say that i liked TYMD a lot, i don't mind mixes that much. Have you ever listened to the ORIGINAL recordings of the 'TRIBUTE' or WEMBLEY and others? They're very different...
Well and yes, i loved katie melua! i also loved her songs and i menaged to (er..download) her CD! I am not mad and no fool, this is just my opinion guys.
We'll see mistakes - but they're humans so they know how much ppl is expecting to see them onstage, so they could be a bit nervous though they're huge stars. i don't mind wrong lyrics much.
If you want the perfection, listen to the original ALBUMS, as no live concert is perfect...
even the over-rated wembley, which was manipulated quite a lot to sound better on the cd...'Bowl' is a lot better, but still not perfect.
I am optimist, i know i'll have fun and i'll criticize if i'll see bad things. this doesn't mean i won't enjoy the show but i expect no perfection guys.
Let's have fun - don't go there ready to 'boo' for any mistake you're bound to hear...just enjoy the show or stay at home if you think it won't be enough good. nobody forces you to go there!

Scott, just look at recent years - we got WWRY with Five, WWRY musical, Pepsi commercial, a couple of one-off gigs (various Halls Of Fame etc.), the 46664 festivals and that's about it. From that the ONLY thing I appreciated were the two or three gigs for fans (FM Tribute 2001, Walk Of Fame party 2002...)
My tour dilema:
What were the dates I most wanted to go to with a limited budget.
NOT : should I stay or should I go (sounds like a good song title ;)

From Queen Rock Show Special on Capital Gold.
David Jensen: So Brian, you're performing with Paul Rodgers and I heard a story that it all happened back in September at Wembley when you were appearing at the Miller Stratpack, and you came on stage and it was a bit of magic?
Brian May: Even though I've known Paul Rodgers for years...we go on stage and we play All Right Now , and something happened, there was a big ...something...big explosion in the brain, and we both looked at each other and went, "Hmm, something's happening here", and ah, I remember Paul's lady said, "That's amazing, you know you guys just need a drummer". And I thought, "Hmm...I might know a drummer", you know?(Chucles) And I called up Roger, and that's what lead us to us doing the um...what was that show we did...lifetime awards...Hall of Fame, thing you know we did? Me and Roger AND Paul did All Right Now, and we didi Rock you and Champions.And that really clinched it, we just thought, 2My God, this seems so natural".I have to tell you that even a year ago, I wouldn't even in my WILDEST dreams have thought we would, we would go out on tour.I never ever thoughtwe would do it.I remember saying to people, 2No I don't think so, you know, unless a miracle happens, we won't.There's no one can sing it." And then...A miracle happened.
(Later on talking about Bray rehearsing)......It was sensational.I mean, it...I have to say, even if the gigs don't happen, I've had a great time doin' this.It's AMAZING to actually be in a room and know that you have a complete band again.It's something incredibly magical for us.I, I, you know,since losing Freddie, you know, you're losing a friend, a family member really, but also you're losing your capacity to sort of be a working unit.But basically NOW , we're in a room and we have this guy who can sing COLLOSALLY well.You actually have everybody there, and I'm talking too fast, I know, but I'm excited.
(Both laugh)
David Jensen:You must have thought, "What will the fans think?"
Brian:The first thing I thought was what is it going to do to my life, because I actually like my life now, you know.I have a life at home, and you know, I have a relationship, I have kids, I have a nice place to live...you know it...and I remember what touring does to you, you know?That's the hard thing to take on , you know, what is it going to do to me.As far as the fans...No, I didn't have a second thought really.To be honest with you.Because all the people that I comminicate with, understand us very well, and they know how much we love Freddie and we know what part Freddie is of our lives, STILL.And they all know the struggle that we've been through.They also know that I've said "No" to every kind of touring offer because I just never thought that it was right.I actually talk to Freddie's mum as well, quite a lot.And Freddie's mum feels good about this, so that's kind of good enough for me.(Laughs)You know she said, you know "I know you guys are gonna make us all proud" and...That's the way it's gonna be.
...I am glad Brian and Roger are still on this beautiful blue eart sharing their music, their energy and enthusiasm with us, and I am glad there's a kind of magic with Paul Rodgers.Good luck for all of those who will be able to attend their shows and have a great time!!!
QUEEN ROCKS!!!!
