I think one way or the other B and R will do a new album and another tour. If Paul bails, it would be a huge dissapointment.
I sure hope like hell that last night in Vancouver Queen didn't play their last show ever. I am optimistic about their future.

Let's get in the real world folks....Paul Rodgers isn't going to leave.
Would that not be the fucking dumbest move in the history of music??
That would rank right up there with Pete Best arguing with John Lennon and McCartney about what direction the look and sound of the Beatles should go for.
This has been one of the biggest revival's of any singer's career in the history of modern music.
Paul Rodgers has done the unthinkable.... he is filling in for the non-replaceable Freddie Mercury, and has been accepted by a majority of fans and critics.
Paul, in his late 50's, has the opportunity to have bases loaded, bottom of the the 9th, and hit one out of the park.
His work with Free and Bad Company was remarkable...but having a absolute once in a lifetime opportunity to front Freddie Mercury's band, and to have that defining "moment" would all be pissed down the drain if he left.
C'mon guys... Paul may be doing a few summer dates while Brian and Roger take a few months off, but I believe he's just keep the vocal chords primed to go into the studio with the boys.
How many of you would give up the position of filling in for Freddie Mercury if it were offered??
Yeah, Paul's not dumb enough to either.

I totally agree.
Thank you for posting that!
Paul is awesome...the Band is awesome together and you are right: it would be insane to NOT continue.
You can tell they LOVE it...and are getting a charge out of being able to play together.
Mark my words....they WILL be back Stateside. :)

I agree too and I for one, will be watching Paul keeping those vocal chords in tune on May 20th in Connecticut
I can't see why so many people are actually unhappy that we may get an album of NEW songs from Brian and Roger, whether they use the 'Queen' name or not.
*bows down* Yes!
It will be an odd combination.
The three have very different styles.
Even in Queen the writers had very different styles but somehow the Freddie vocal made everything sound like Queen.
There is no way that Paul Rodgers can do that - it's more likely to end up sounding like a Paul Rodgers album.

That's a bit what I'm afraid of too. I think it's great that they will be doing an album together, but I don't hope it will be too much "Paul Rodgers", I like his stuff, I do, but I hope that there's still enough "Queen" in it.

Well i think it's great that Paul is out and about again so soon. I think he has gained many new fans through the Q+PR efforts.
I for one think he's terrific and well worth going off to see. These solo shows should be a treat for the local fans.

Don't worry there should be some lead vocals from both Brian May and Roger Taylor. Especially the first couple of songs I hope to give the feeling of a transistion. For one I think that a long instrumental should be first to bring everything back after the long instrumental hidden track at the end of "Made In Heaven".
YES like to hear it.
pl;ease no re recordings of old queen songs.
simply completely new songs in the old true way.
no rehash no fashioned styles.
