US tour destined for massive failure!

To fans,
I hate to say it, but the US tour is going to bomb out! Let's face it, they couldn't even sell all of the seats for many of the shows in Europe. What makes them think that they are going to come here and be successful?
Along with the ROTC cd, this represents the first major "Queen" failure. I find that pretty depressing. Their huge-ass egos (which will soon be deflated) really are ruining the legacy.

I hate to say it, but you could be right. They're playing some pretty big barns and they just don't have the following in N.A. to fill them. Add to that many Queen fans have mixed feelings about the "reunion" and the tour could be a disappointment.

From a personal stand point, I listened to ROTC again today and I'm just not feeling it. While I'll be there in Vancouver, there's been a few tours that have wrecked bands for me for years (The Who in '89-90(?), Genesis (the We Can't Dance tour) and the recent Van Halen tour to name a few). Luckily, I don't look at this as a Queen reunion. I'm really just looking forward to seeing Brian May and Roger Taylor play live again, but I have this nagging fear that the show (with the current set list) won't meet expectations.

In the U.S., PR may want to flip some of the lyrics screens around so that the audience knows what to sing.
Do they have a support act there or are they even the support act of other bands?

To bitch4freddie,
I hate to say it, but - and? What should we do?

Fuck you! That's all I have to say.

Thats not fair,because queen+pr are goin on tour to USA first.They have already been there :(Plus here is there home country :)In United Kingdom :x

You bastards, you should be glad they extended the US-tour. What the hell if they don't sell out, have fun. It's not Queen from around the 80's(US-tour)!!! It's a new thing, and as FM used to say "fuck today, it's tomorrow". Stop living in the past, and treasure this moment, as most of you didn't see Queen when they hit the US bigtime!!!

I think your right. Oh wait, no. What do I mean... oh yeah... your a wanker.

I agree with Rock It. They don't need to worry about selling out shows or making a ton of money. THey've done that and the royalty checks keep coming in. So they want to do this to go out and tour and have FUN! Queen was what it was in the past. No doubt about that. But they're musicians and want to play. That's their job. Just because a mechanic retires doesn't mean he can keep fixing cars afterwards. Fred is regretably gone and John retired. Doesn't mean Brian and Roger can't keep playing. The only way this tour will bomb is if nobody goes to support them. I've seen them twice in their prime. 78 and 80. I remember in 1980 they didn't totally sell out the venue I saw them in but they still made made their money off me with a t-shirt and program. And they had the number 1 album in the country at the time too with The Game. Leave them alone for fuck sake! The only way they will "bomb" is if people like Bitch4Freddie don't go.

That would be me. I didn't see Queen when they hit the US bigtime, and I will treasure it in March!

I think they should come and play the UK again instead... :P

Nicely put beautifulsoup!

It not a question of selling the arenas out, it's whether they'll even be half full. AND YES I'LL BE THERE, so I'm not being anti Q+PR. For example, Rush came to Calgary for the first time in like 20 years a few years back and the night of the show the NHL team I was working gave everybody in the organization free tickets because they had only sold about 5000 tickets in a 17,000 seat venue. Some of the cities may be too close to support the number of shows booked, so some nights could be a disappoinment for the band and promoters.

Fuck it! I don't care if they sell out or not, I already got my tickets and want to see them even if the concert is half-way filled. Why would you care? Just like Brian May said earlier this year: If you don't like it, don't come."

Not every single seat ahs to be filled for it to be a brilliant show. I would love to go but then I think if it would be right to with Freddie gone. And Brian and Roger have done alot of well not very good things. I mean 5ive and some other things.
