Stateside, the promblem is, you clearly have had a preconcieved idea placed in your head by persuasive bullies like BPP on here before the tour even took place.
What's the point in living this way? I feel sorry for you if you can't formulate your own opinions, that's a horrid way live.
I aint bein funny, but when you're reaching the age of almost 60 and have spent the best part of almost 30 years constantly touring and making music, I think it is fair to say the boys can tour where they want right? These are the years I'm sure they'd like to finally be spending with their family, using their hard earned money to good effect. But no... they've given up their quiet years to STILL tour and make music for fans... people like me and you. But, what are they supposed to think when tits like you are STILL being so ungrateful? If they'd had done fuck all and not toured, you'd be sitting here complaining, coz it's what the rest of the knob-jockey minority do. But instead, unfortunately for the majority of those on here who have interesting dicussions, the minotiry found a niche in trashing the tour before, during and after it had happened.
We lash out purely becuase: what ARE you trying to prove? Had you hoped we'd all turn around and say ''actually, you know what, you're right''? Fat chance son. Look around at the MANY other topics started about how ''bad'' the tour is. What reactions did they get? Opinions are one thing, but just trouncing something coz you want to off the back of nothing is pointless, absolutely ricidulous.
Just get a life mate.

sorry mate dont know who that is.i was just trying to make a point on how i felt.Its obvious that is not the thing to do here.You all enjoy your shows and hopefully they will make it to USA.-John
Not at all mate.
There's a difference between voicing opinions and saying pointless things that, in honesty, aren't at all true I'd say (as would many others - cashing in? Whatever...).
If they wanted to ''cash in'', there are many things they could do e.g. release more crap with pop-bands and aim for a young market. That's where the money's at seemingly.
You gotta understand, despite the fact you and others clearly wont, the amount of topics like this littering the board. What's the point? There's nothing worthwhile you're gonna prove? And, as I've said before, as much as we know it's pointless to get frustrated and reply to just say ''shut up'', the temptation becomes too much unfrotunately.

I am excited of course and maybe i just miss the old Queen alot more then i realized.I will be at NY and Philadelphia shows-all of them cheering like mad because they are my fave songs but i hate the direction they have taken Aruba?-Paul played their last year and told them its a cash cow ala sun city.Japan before U.S?Someone pointed out they are extremely wealthy-True! so why go romping aroung looking for tourist trap big money places like Aruba.Because Paul,who was on the has been circuit before he lucked into this told fat cats Bri and Roj about the loot he made.
So basically this whole thing was sour grapes because they're not coming to the US fast enough to suit you.
Point 1. I, unfortunately, have never seen Queen in it's current state live, so I really couldn't say which arguement is right. However, it does leave me relatively unbiased. If stateside fan feels that way then he's intitled to and if the rest of you disagree, then you're intitled to too. But you can't go around trying to force your opinions down other people's throats. It is, despite what GreatKingSam appears to be argueing, your own opinion, and not necessarily right or wrong ,although I wouldn't particularly be interested in seeing Paul Rodger's songs which are, consequently, NOT Queen songs. It is however, the bands decision, they have of course, done it before.
P.S. In response to GreatKing Sam's message, seeing as Stateside fan appears completely alone in his arguement, it doesn't really seem like they are the one with preconcepted ideas.
Point 2.(To GreatKingSam) To be honest, you can't expect everyone to have read every topic brought up in this forum, especially if they've only just joined, so hwo are they supposed to know that a certain subject's been done to death?
Point 3.Most of your reactions, specifically Dark Queen's sound like a child who's favourite toys been broken. Someone has dared to question your beloved Queen and you jump on them like a pride of lions attacking one, loan deer. If you can't come up with something more intelligent and articulate the a load of swearwords repetative, innane comments (this also refers to Stateside fan as you don't sound any more mature than Dark Queen) then perhaps you're not worthy to defend Queen
Point 4.(specifically to Dark Queen and Stateside fan) What the fuck has people SEX-LIFE got to do with anything. Of all the puerile things that have been said in this arguement this has got to be the most ridiculous, immature, ignotant of all! Grow up, for fuk's sake!

it is becoming more and more obvious to me that this tour is solely a financial venture and nothing more.From listening to Brian wanting to play "key"territories or how Paul seems to be happiest playing his songs its starting to suck.This Tour has nothing to do with us the diehards and reeks of the Who or Cher cashing in.Shame on You Bri and Roj-you have already made potfulls of cash as a result of being in Freddies BAND!!!
IT IS NOT FREDDIE'S BAND!!!!
sorry about that. just had to let it out.
and where would they be without freddie? but they did have Freddie.
just another sad attention seeking pr*ck ...
don't react to it!
bytheway: Brian had/has 50 million POUNDS on his bank-account.... BEFORE the tour...

The point of sour grapes because they have chose other locals before the USA is a fair one.I am not deserving of some of your abuse though and never thought it would get this nasty.I think when you tell me to get a life and i am looking for attention-take a peek in the mirror chaps.Anyway,the fact that things are not done to my tastes does not take away from me being very happy to see and here this Version of Queen.wish all a happy day
I agree the USA tour delay is disappointing, but greedy? I disagree. What are your thoughts on Kiss, Cher, Celine Dion, the Eagles, etc? How many repeat "retirement tours" go on before QPR are simply seen as playing (this past year) a bunch of great gigs for what is very likely the last roundup?
i think that this thread is bull shit and shouldve never been created
just because paul rodgers wants money doesnt make brian or roger greedy
not to mention, how can you speak of queen as 'freddies band'? imagine queen without brian roger or john

In an interview to a dutch television station Roger said they didn't do the tour for the money, however it was a plesant extra.
Dear Mr. Stateside Tool,
What is your problem? We should be fortunate that Brian, Roger, and Paul are in good enough spirit and health to be able to do the craft that they have spent their ENTIRE adult life working at. We should be thankful that they are even touring, much less touring with a top notch singer, playing top notch music at top notch places.
You bitch about the money that they make, but let me ask you. How can you complain about something that for one, you are going to pay to see, and two, that these guys have worked for over 30 years at their craft, and therefore can charge really whatever they please?
Sure, it was sad that Freddie died. That said, should Brian and Roger sit around the house, weeping to the stars?
Get real.....

ok now that you lemons are being mean-where was Smile headed???It is and will always be Mr.Bulsara/Mercury's band.This site would not exist were it not not for him.Instead you geeks would be sitting on the Abba fan site waiting for an outsider to prey on.Next time listen to these guys before your Queen predjudice gets your weenies hard.Aruba???How about playing on Imperial college campus or places like the marquee(if it still standing).And let us not forget that the week the Pope died what band decided to play on when everything else was shut down???Would hate to refund those tix huh Bri!Anyway i will leave you faries to flex your internet muscles...its amusing!your pal John
