im afraid i totally agree.

i think its great the fact that Bri and Roger still want to play together, and id love to see it. But roger and brian have great voices, i dont know why it is even attempted to try and get a frontman after freddie. id love to go and see queen, maybe one day when technology improves, when freddie's vocal parts from the tracks are extracted, and played over, then bri and roger can play theyre instruments over that...!!

it doesnt sound amazing, but freddie's dead unfrotunately, and its never going to be the same again.

until then, i wont be going to see Queen + Paul Rogers. its just wrong...

Thank u for posting the article BPP -- certainly you that know many rock journalists are just frustrated musicians. Your author there is so brilliant, as he uncannily states the obvious and calls Brian and Roger (and thus Paul) great, successful musicians. Critics are just eunuchs in a whorehouse.

That said, I'm gonna express some latent anxiety about the setlist of the current tour, here rather than in the personal section, 'cos it seems more relevant here. You see, I don't mind paying $250+ for a ticket/road trip to see QPR once or twice. But I do expect to get what I pay for -- I'm hoping for something more than the New Jersey setlist. Is this an unrealistic expectation? It seems imho we're getting a little less in terms of selection from either the Queen side or Bad Company/Free side. It's SO NICE Paul wrote a new song, but hey I'd rather hear "Stone Cold Crazy" instead. Or "Burning Sky." I guess I won't really form an opinion until after I've seen the show.

So BPP -- what are your thoughts on the Freddie Mercury tribute concert? After all, Freddie said the USA wouldn't come back to Queen until someone passed, and *QPR* are proving it AGAIN and AGAIN

To answer your question The Freddie Tribute concert wasn't the best ever but had to to be staged as a goodbye to Freddie. Only George Michael, Zucchero and Guns N Roses came out of it with any credit. Again it wasn't Queen even with Deaky. This concert should have been the last under the name Queen.

Your second point. I fail to see how you can say America has come back to Queen. Excepted they did very briefly after Wayne's World was released in the early 90's however QPR shows are not selling out at all. If you consider the Rolling Stones ARE completly selling out everywhere all over then really QPR shows are very small scale in comparasion.

It's very sad people can get excited about this Queen substitute. It isn't Queen or Queen + in any shape or form, not without Freddie but most people with a brain cell(whoops I've upset a few people on here already!) know this already.

Remember Quote Brian and Roger November 1991 "We cannot continue as Queen without Freddie"
