I think the fact that Paul Rodgers is announcing more solo dates while QPR is in the middle of a tour shows what he is all about.He used this to further his own career and to line his pockets.Im really regretting this whole thing and i think David Lee Roth had a point when he said that Rodgers strong armed Queen to share billing because he knew they were itching to play.Truth be told he is a second rate singer whose lyrics are all about having a hard on.These guys who hide behind being blues singers are ofter just rock singers who can cut it in the higher keys.Im know im getting pounded for this but im really pissed off now.

hmmm.. you have some point...
hmmm.. you have some point...
You do have some kind of point....
Where did Dave Lee Roth say that? Got a link?
Jesus Christ!
Your post makes me pine for BPP it's so bad.
It's already been said that Brian and Roger approached Paul and said we wanna call it Queen + Paul Rodgers and do half your material.
Paul graciously said no, since you wanna call it Queen let's do mainly Queen material for the fans since it's been so long.
Besides you ungrateful ass, if it wasn't for Paul, you never would've got the chance to see Brian and Roger in the first place.
I don't understand how people can be so stupid.
Now instead of him being part of a great concert that you had a rare chance to attend(remember, it's been 24 fucking years since Bri and Rog played Queen music on American soil) ,you're gonna blast him with insults and and use heresay to justify a completely ridiculous narrow point of view to begin with.
Yeah, Paul took Queen hostage so that he could fill Casino Morango. *rolls eyes*
What a fucking joke.

if he wants to advertise his own tour, let it be, before I would not think twice about it, but now I might even go to a show or 2.
go and enjoy yourself then.your opinions are yours and mine are mine.riddle me this-who before the Show in S.Africa when this started thought Paul was even still active?Finish this task before announcing tour own tour is all i ask.He speaks like his solo career has been taxed by all this QPR stuff.WHAT SOLO CAREER????
Besides he's not saying nothing he hasn't always been saying.
He just said I have solo dates as a way to emphasize that this wasn't meant to go on forever.
He's said that from day one.
He has always said that he has things that he has put off for Q+PR that he will eventually get back to.
I challenge anyone to find a quote where he said anything different. Like "I'm in this for the long haul." or "I'm Queen's go to guy and Bri and Rog can count on me for years" or something to that effect.
Go ahead, find the quote.
I double dare you.

Me too.
Thats all fine and i agree.i have not been double dared for years so thanks for that.My point is let this end then go back to playing state fairs and tractor pulls.all im saying.dont cross promote.look at the hits on his website before and after he started this project.10-1!!and if you think the queen guys dont want to record and keep doing this your blind and naive.This is a classic "me "move.
I have never felt that Paul was in this for the long run.He always shyed away from making a long term commitment with Queen.I think Brian and Rodger are more interested in doing something with him.He did say he had some solo commitments to take care of.I don't think Paul's using Queen,and Brian and Rodger are no dumbes.

David Lee Roth, I'm sure, was joking.

Ridiculous man.
What a way to show gratitute and respect for someone who helped light a fire under Bri and Roger's bums.
It was a joyful musical experience that spurned this whole experiment on.
Sure the fringe benefit is that Paul gets great exposure for his name. But like I've already said, that was Bri and Rogers idea, for unlike you, they have a ton of respect for the dude.
Without Queen, the guy had already cemented his place in rock history, and if you refuse to see or acknowledge that, well then there's not much I can say to you that will make any difference.
Carry on with your misguided bashings.

amen to the last post
last year, i never would have thought i would have ever seen brian may and roger taylor again
when i heard of this tour, i couldnt believe my ears....and i already was well aware of paul rodgers, knew who he was, how big a part of rock n roll history he was
i thought it was fabulous for them to be queen and paul rodgers
and at the same time, knew that he also wanted to carry on his solo projects..what the hell is wrong with that? i dont get it
i am grateful to him for being a part of the best show(s) i have seen in years...i will NEVER forget that night in Worcester Massachusetts for as long as i live.
and to add to this
i found out tonight that paul rodgers is playing at Foxwoods Casino the night before my birthday
and I AM NOT ashamed to say that I now have tickets
I am not going to boycott him because he wants to do solo things too
i hope with all my heart that they carry on with Queen and Paul Rodgers and I will follow everything they do, buy any album, go to see any show i can..i will now and always will be one of the biggest Brian May fans alive, but I also have alot more respect for Paul having seen him perform twice this month
Everyone is entitled to their opinions
just wanted to add mine

Well, Brian and Roger already said that some years back they have booked some tour dates with Robbie Williams, but his management felt it was not "cool" to go out touring with pals with your fathers age. So it really isn't the question of "without PR - the desert". the Guys(Bri and Rog) were realy looking for someone for some years(althought they obviously say the contrary)
