I am a Paul Rodgers fan as well as a Queen fan and I would hope any studio album would have equal contributions as far as songwriting. Paul can't be a secondary player here! Everyone forgets he is an artist in his own right not just a fill-in singer Brian picked to sing Queen songs. Paul has his own fans as well and for the album to be (commercially) successful he would need to be an integral part!

I look forward to a new studio l.p. with these three great artists with new original material written by the three of them but before them I think it is best they go about with a world tour first and hopefully a live release which hopefully is what we are seeing this release date for...I am so excited as if this is the case this really is one of the greatest groups of all time...then again I suppose I already knew that!
Agree with Jericho
I hate the fact that Queen is doing anything....yep, I'm one of those bitches that would rather see the legacy put to memory.
But if new material is to happen (dear lord father in heaven, please NO!!!!) then Paul has to help write material.
He can't just stand off to the side yanking his pud.
Besides he gets enough of that in during the live shows.

Bray Studios is a rehearsal studio - therefore, it is aessentially a soundstage similar to those at Shepperton. It's effectively an aircraft hangar where the band can set up their full stage show, including lights in order for the band to work with the set designers and lighting men. Reference the bonus material on the Wembley '86 DVD where the band are at a "rehearsal" studio.....
If the band were doing "studio work", then they would go to a "recording" studio as opposed to a "rehearsal" studio. Two completely different things all together.
We KNOW that they aren't going to release a studio album, because they haven't done any "studio work".
Clear? Good.
Dont know if anyone else chimed in to back you up on this one Benn, but of course Bray Studios can be clearly seen as the rehearsal studio for the Freddie Tribute show. It appears several times in the extras etc.

On the Capital Gold Queen Day, David Jensen the DJ who was interviewing Brian and Paul said that he had some exclusive news that new material was being rehearsed? Maybe a studio album isn't just a wish?
Well, if u want Roger and Brian do all the songwriting you dont need Paul. Whats his job ? He is a singer and songwriter, too. Exactly like the tour is not Queen live, its Queen AND Paul Rodgers live, an album with him would need and get his influence. If you like him or not he is not a filler and without him may be we would not have this tour and all the nice things we can discuss and talk about... so enjoy it. I will see them tomorrow in Basel and then in Frankfurt.
I think it would be in bad taste to rush out a studio album - they would have to atleast see what reaction the UK tour got and theyd have to tour a lot more to actually gel together as a band. They only rehearsed for about 2 weeks prior to this tour - I think its highly unlikely that theyve written anything together.
i agree, hopefully if they do release a new album or EP all three write and sing equally. i think paul rodgers is a lengend in his own right. how about MR. Deacon to join them? i guess that's to much to ask for. i'm just hoping the tour comes to the states, i never got to see queen.
Brian has already confirmed that they have written one song together.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they use the break between these gigs and the stadium tours to record....that's 6 weeks, and I'm *sure* Brian and Roger have some songs kicking around that they needed a forum for...I'd imagine Paul as well.
July/August is plenty of time for production and promotion. Mass promotion for an album doesn't start until about 3 weeks before release.
It's definately possible.
