A bunch of johnny-come-lately punks who claim they are better songwriters than John Lennon are going to blow Q+PR off the stage? In a stadium packed full of Queen fans?
BWAA HA HA HA HA!!
Thanks for the fucking laugh!
They'll be lucky to get thru their set without getting pelted by bottles and trash!

I saw razorlight a few months ago supporting the Manic Street Preachers. They were okay but I was not that impressed.
The Darkness have said that they will not perform again until work on their second album is complete. I the meantime, Justin will release a solo album of material that is vastly different from the ditrection the band is going - it's synth-heavy apparently.....
I noticed that someone wrote The Darkness are too big for a support slot. Don't bet on that one. James Brown supported The Chilis on their UK tour last year. Work that one out!! Shouldn't that have been the other way round?
... not that I'm trying to imply Queen + PR should support The Darkness of course.

The Darkness are bigger than Queen+PR right now. It would be more likely that Q+PR supported Darkness.
According to reviews I've read Razorlight are brilliant playing in places like The Apollo and The Odeon, but when it's a big place, all you hear is feedback and low pitched moaning.
Razorlight's frontman is an arrogant twat as well. He goes on about how good his songs are. They are o.k but nothing special in my book. I'm surprised he will humble himself supporting an old band.

I agree.
I'm a big believer in letting the music do the talking.
Don't get up there and run your big fat mouth trying to hype yourself up.
Nothing will make me hate a new band faster than that kinda shit.
I don't ever recall Lennon or Jagger talking about how their songs blew Chuck Berry's away.
The Darkness have already played at Knebworth as support to Robbie Williams 2 years ago so they wouldn't need the experience of playing support to a smaller crowd.
Plus The Darkness would not feel it is beneath them to act as support for Queen.
I just read press release for Razorlight and Q+PR in Hyde Park. They are quoting Roger and there is one thing which I don't understand. Here is the quote:
>>Says Queen’s Roger Taylor, “Some might be surprised by it, but Brian and I definitely listen to the new bands coming through. In addition to Razorlight there are several other bands we would love to have with us in London. It’s great these boys said yes.” <<
Now, when Roger says "several bands" is he thinking like "we have several bands yet in option so we'll see which one will confirm availability and will to join us" or is he hinting that more than 2 bands will be out there as support acts?

You won't be saying that when their next album ends up in the Bargain bin at HMV... should it ever get released at all that is!

I really love The Darkness, but they are not bigger than Q+PR are. Both Q and PR individually were bigger even before this tour started (and so are now). The Darkness have only one album behind them and rather bright future according to what they shown so far and that's all. I personally really don't see the problem having them as support act and I believe they would love it too. Besides, fans and media are very aware of connection between sounds of these two (Q and TD) so it makes even more sense to have them. I was hoping that perhaps Zuttons will appear, but they are on support act list for a next day on REM gig. Muse, my personal favorite, don't fit really the whole concept of support act anymore (even I would love to see collaboration between Bri and Matt one day). No matter what, Hyde Park gig is going to be fantastic! Right now I'm very optimistic even we still don't know much about the other acts.
Razorlight are officially fucking amazing.
Saw them at Ally Pally in March, brilliant evening, can't wait for them supporting.
Hopefully I won't use all my energy moshing to Razorlight and save something for Queen.
Great choice, here's hoping 2nd support is just as good.

The Darkness' last UK tour is much bigger than Queen's. I think they were playing Wembley 3 or four times. Same with Birmingham NEC, etc.

But that doesn't mena they wouldn't support Queen, especially as Queen are one of their favourite acts.
