Yes! There are notes Paul goes for during the concert that Freddie didn't try to do in order to preserve his voice. Just listen to the cd. Oh wait, you probablly haven't done so yet. Learn something about music & the guitar before you start slagging someone of Townshend's abilities & achievments. You say your in the music industry but for all we know that could mean you clean the bathrooms at Virgin Records for all we know. So I guess technically you could be in the industry since maybe someone like them signs your paycheck.
Philly is gonna rock!! 102.9 WMGK is talking about the concert all day every day. They are giving away tickets on Friday mornings program!
Whooo Hoo. THe AA seats for chicago and Milwaukee are sold out!!! HA HA. And the buzz here for this show in MKE in awesome.. Long live QPR!!!! Paul Rocks!!!!! Brian ROCKS!!!! ROger ROCKS!! Sit home and listen to your albums----Live for TODAY see some the world BEST muscicians!!! They will rock you!!!!!!!!!

Spoken like someone who hasn't seen the show, regardless of what they may claim. A word of advice, dearie - no one is going to take that kind of hyperbole seriously - although that assumes being taken seriously is something you're striving for. That doesn't seem to be the case with you. Anyway, feel free to continue selling crazy. You'll find a handful of Kool-Aid Drinkers among the regular posters.

Didn't we have this whole shit exactlya year ago? It's boring now...
Your beloved Queen is no more,i'm just trying to illustrate a perfectly legitimate point.Queen without Freddie is simply ridiculous,and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.I've have no problem with the remaining members of the band touring,but don't do it under the banner of Queen,and at least try to put on a quality show.Any idiot can get onto a stage,shout at the top of their lungs and pretend they are creating serious "art".The fact is that Paul Rogers is a poor substitute for Freddie,and simply cannot carry off the songs to a high enough standard.It quite obvious that this experiment was thrown together for the purposes of a quick buck.The album has already been a huge failure,and the tour is also a failure.There's really no point in getting angry about it,just face the facts.

Perhaps Mr.4th of July would prefer if the tour was to be billed as "The BRIAN MAY BAND Featuring Roger Taylor & Paul Rodgers". That seems to be his hang-up.
And, at some point perhaps Brian et al discussed all the possible social, political and musical ramifications of touring under the nomenclature used when Mercury was the front man.
But, business is business - and after much deliberation it was determined that it would be far more efficient and practical to just spell "QUEEN" on the stadium marquees. ;p

mr.4th... u are definatly the DAFTEST man in the record buisness. Please u along with bitch4freddie should start a queen sucks/the tour will fail site and see how many people actually show up. Then u can have folks like myself pop in and crash ur hater party and say things like the tour is awesome etc in ur forums, and then maybe i can feel as much joy as u do slandering the names of talented people like mr. townshend mr. may and mr. taylor and mr. rodgers.
Because the fact of the matter is sir, they have more talent that u probably have in a pinky cell.

Maybe we can kick start the Jimi Hendrix Experience without Jimi,or maybe Stevie Ray Vaughan And Double Trouble without Stevie.Then move onto a Lennon free Beatles,a Strummer free Clash,and top it off nicely with a new Elvis world tour.This subject is getting funnier by the day.We've got people who think Pete Townsend is a great guitarist,the Stones are still valid,and Queen are back minus Freddie and John.We live in a strange world.

Are you at all familiar with the phrase "beating a dead horse"? You've made your point repeatedly. I don't know what you're trying to achieve by going on and on. Are you trying to convince people the tour is a bad idea? Are you trying to convince people not to go to the shows? Are you hoping that Brian May, Roger Taylor, and Paul Rodgers will stumble on this thread, realize their utter failure and call off the tour? I don't really see what your point is in going on and on with this. The point you have OBVIOUSLY missed, either willfully or through a lack of intelligence, is that people are going to and enjoying the shows because of the songs, the music, and the performances, and nobody gives a shit what they call it. They call it "Queen + Paul Rodgers" because its Queen members playing Queen songs with Paul Rodgers. Duh. Its pretty simple. Nobody is going to these shows expecting to see Freddie Mercury (and, let's be honest, nobody was going to see and hear John Deacon in the first place). 95% of the world understands this and doesn't care. Why is it so hard for you to understand? Or do you just enjoy picking nits? Are you one of the people who were running around pissed off because the world celebrated the millennium in 2000 instead of the technically correct year, 2001?
I think we all perfectly understand why you feel the way you feel, and while some people share your view, clearly many of us do not agree with your rationale at all. If that's the way you feel about it all, that's terrific. We get it. Most of us just don't agree or care. Why waste your obvious wisdom and superior discerning taste on deaf ears? Move along and save everyone the annoyance and the aggravation.

You're right,you've convinced me.
I celebrated the millenium in the wrong year??? Damn, I hate it when that happens. lol
