Errr...... Well, I am not sure about that... Some guys have said here that if Robbie would be their frontman - they won't go to the concerts, neither won't buy the albums.

Not to defy your opinion, BPP, but I absolutely loved the "Return of the Champions" CD. I was very glad to hear Brian and Roger cranking out Queen hits again - and they rocked and will continue to do so, whether they use the Queen+ title or not.
I had the great honor of being invited to see Brian and Roger perform (as Queen, without Paul) at the grand opening of WWRY in Las Vegas, NV on the 8th of September, 2004. Though Freddie was not present, of course, the sheer energy of their short concert that night was astounding. Sure, Freddie's "spirit" was there - but more than that, Brian and Roger proved that they can still rock and roll. They sounded spectcular.
Paul Rodgers has given Brian and Roger whatever motivation they needed to tour once again. There's quite a few of us who are quite content with their decision to tour, to market new CDs (even if they are #40 on the UK charts as we speak) and DVDs. I am well aware that you are completely displeased with their decision to tour as Queen+, but as 1/2 of Queen, of course they have the right to do so. I think that instead of raining of everyone's (well, maybe not everyone...) parade, perhaps you should be objective towards the new tour, towards Paul filling in for Freddie and towards Brian and Roger touting themselves as Queen. Of course it's different. Of course there's no Freddie or John. I don't expect this to change your mind - I'm just sick of windup posts and arguing. Let's come together on the music, whether Queen died in 1991 or not.

BPP is a fucking buttwadded asshole. Rap is a parody of itself in America as now rap has become a joke. Ever since 2Pac and BIG died, rap is now filled with poseurs and wanna-be fake gangstas. I loathe phlEghMINEM, Gay Zee, Penny Cent, Candy West with a passion. The last rapper is a bigot and cried race card when he lost an American Music Award for Best New Artist. Also, phlEghMINEM got hot and bothered when Moby booed him at the VMAs and insulted a hand puppet dog. Music is so bad today that I just listen to more old prog like Jethro Tull, Yes, ELP and Genesis plus my usual Pink Floyd and Queen.

Besides, I think that people would rather see Queen live than hear them. I predict that the DVD will do surprisingly well, hopefully breaking at least the Top 20.
If i'm wrong, then slam and flame me for all that your heart desires. Bring it lol[/QUOTE]
The reason the disc has not sold well is that Americans are being brainwashed with shit like the bigoted racist rapper Candy West, wussified rock of Coldplay and teen queens.

Well you gotta admit, on the rare occasion there ARE some good bands out there that are American, like Green Day or Linkin Park (in my opinion anyways).
All those other overrated brats like Bitchney Spears and Jessica & Ashlee Simpson can go to hell.

It's nothing to do with being overdubbed or about the cover. The simple fact is it isn't an official Queen product thus it won't sell. People crave concerts and songs from the original 4 members. It just makes me laugh on here with some people saying the CD and the DVD will be massive sellers, we know now this will not be the case.
Queen + PR will go down in years to come as a quick ego trip by Brian and Roger trying to live on past glories who sold out a few gigs but failed to sell any dvd's or cd's relating to Queen + PR[/QUOTE]
ASSHOLE, On Fire at the Bowl didn't even crack the US Top 200 and its counterpart DVD didn't sell too well. It took Live at Wembley Stadium(formerly known as Live at Wembley '86) SEVEN GODDAMNED years to get a US Platinum award. You probably think Bitchney Sneers and Pisstina Aquafina are great cos they sold millions. The former is now the poster child of erratic behavior and her career has been demolished beyond repair due to overexposure, her personal life and her habitual lying amongst other things. Years from now no one will remember her music career whereas bands like Pink Floyd, Queen, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles and The Beatles will still attract new fans. RotC outcharted On Fire at the Bowl in the US(#84 is very reasonable for a live record as many people don't care about live records unless you are Frampton, Brooks or Springsteen whom all had monster selling live records)!

Can I point out, on a slightly unrelated topic, that the release of ROTC, after On Fire, makes this the first time that Queen released two live albums in a row? (Three if you count the USA and Japanese remastered release "Live At Wembley Stadium")

Dont you people realize this is exactly what this guy wants.Everytime he post something he gets tons of replys and probably is just sitting back and laughing at us all. DONT REPLY!Maybe he will get the message. We all have our own opinions but he is over the edge and wants a reaction. You are all better than this!
