How about this to open the show!

I do like rap and I do suggest that Eminem is far from being brilliant at what he does.

I don't think the opener for this tour was a good idea... there would be so many options how to build up tension, but neither track 13 nor Eminem nor PR solo do build up any tension.

But never forget that Brian May is a great believer in not giving people what they want. lol, I'm sure it was hard to find a possibility to not give us what we want regarding the opener, but they found a way!!

GH, didn't you want to stay away from this board until you saw a concert?

I like Eminem (although I know some of you don't).

I however disagree with the idea of opening the show with an Eminem song because Queen has way too many choices for better opening songs:

- Procession
- Flash (Intro)
- Innuendo
- Now I'm Here
- Tear It Up
- Tie Your Mother Down
- Death On Two Legs
- One Vision
- Let Me Entertain You
- We Will Rock You (Fast)

IMO an opening song for a concert should ALWAYS be a really good one that can get the whole crowd pumped up and ready to rock.

Btw, I agree with most of you who say that rap/hip-hop is for the most part shit and way too cliche of itself.

I however have to say that there some brilliant stuff from Eminem, Run DMC, Dr.Dre, and the greatest of all... 2Pac.

Yes brilliant.. I mean, who else but a genius could write lyrics like these:

Two trailer park girls go 'round the outside...
Guess who's back, back again
Shady's back, tell a friend..

Classic, I tell ya...;-)

well.... Eminem didn't. They're from a song called "Buffalo Girls" by Malcolm McClaren.

Eminem only added the "Shady's back" part (which easily rhymes with the original song).

It justs makes me laugh that people could be so closed minded about things. I hate certain music, but I won't allow myself to deny the fact that those artists are still good, just I don't like them at all. To say Eminem has no talent is crap.

Wow even more evidence of how uncreative these sampling rappers can be..

Dis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo..

That's what I'll say as I buy my Queen tickets..;-p

obviously he meant the song in all seriousness, especially as the lyrics clearly show that also.

A lot of Eminem's songs are very tongue in cheek (some get the humor, others don't).

What I find annoying about Eminem is how cliche have his songs have become by only rapping about himself, him coming back, his alter-ego Slim Shady, Dr.Dre, his mother, his ex-wife, and his daughter Haylie.

Besides, Queen (aside from Brian) weren't exactly the most brilliant lyric writers.

Queen really should open show with song from MIH or Innuendo for example It's a beautiful day or Innuendo.Innuendo intro would be great!

Hola!

Oppening with Innuendo... just like the musical???? Never!! It's right for a Musical show but not for a rock concert.

About "oppening tension song". Do you need more tension after 19 years without touring???
