So, Now That The Tour's Well Over...

"It's like The Nolans doing "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" with Lemmy from Motorhead on vocals."


The only useful thing you said in your entire diatribe.

I don't know about anyone else, but I, for one, would pay to see that.....

Will this be touring? Perhaps a European tour followed by Japan and then North America :D

It was an enjoyable experience seeing Q+PR.
Whatever they choose to do from now on is fine with me. If they record and tour again I hope it's good. If it isn't good or they don't record and tour again my life will go on just fine.
Paul Rodgers didn't do anything to personally offend/insult/attack/injure anyone so whatever he does good luck to him.

Some people need to get out more

Some of us get out quite a lot. That's why we have the reference points to recognize Q+PR as bollocks.

in 2,3,4 out 2,3,4. um nope i still feel the same

Mary & I totally enjoyed the three shows we saw, but I agree a new direction would be interesting -- dreaming Josh McCrae on drums, Roger on vocals/rythm guitar, Brian lead guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey on bass

I'd say they did a piss poor job of commercially running the tour. For example, they have American Idol and Rock Honors AFTER the tour. I'd like to see them maybe hit South America and some of the U.S. that they missed(DALLAS, Houston, Austin, Tulsa, Memphis, Denver, St. Louis, New Orleans, Nashville, etc.) this fall while collaborating on a new album for early next year.

Overall, I think the Q + PR experience's only strong negative is that they should have done this 10 years ago. They put on a world tour offering a blues-style/more Brian + Roger tour with deep emotional nostalgia, innovative interpretation of Queen classics, not to mention a thick slice of Free and Bad Company's best tracks done better than ever by Paul + his best supporting players ever.

I think the BPP types are just loud, annoying anti-Paul guys who hate him enough to not be interested, so they lean the other way, looking at the tour as blasphemous. I admit, a Robbie Williams tour would have stirred up similar feelings for me, except that I am always a fan of anything live or studio that Brian and Roger are a part of. A lot of people lost sight of the fact that sometimes(often early on) Paul was back stage and Brian and/or Roger were running a Queen show. After years of Freddie's dominant fronting the stage, it was nice to see a tour that focused more on these two guys.

The greatest entertainment events of my lifetime thus far are the Birmingham, Los Angeles and San Diego shows I caught and I wouldn't trade them for anything.

One final thing to say is that all and all, I think this tour holds it's own with other Queen tours. It's certainly not the same, but it's uniqueness by comparison offers a lot.

I regret that I didn't have the opportunity to go to a live concert of Queen+PR. I was only able to see the dvd, which I presume was nowhere quite the same as being at the actual concert itself. However, from what I saw on the dvd, if they do another tour, I definitely would find a way to go see them. Personally I think Paul Rodgers did a great job. I wasn't expecting a Freddie look-alike or 'act-alike' and I wasn't expecting them to be exactly like they were when Freddie was around. duh! Paul held his own and gave a different feeling to Queen which was not at all unpleasant. I especially liked the new slower version of "Hammer To Fall". As for Paul's songs, I've always liked those songs (Feel like making Love, All Right Now, Wishing Well, and Can't Get enough of Your Love). Brian's guitar was awesome on All Right Now!
I really hope they do another tour and this time come to Orlando, FL.

I saw them at the Gwinnet Center in Duluth Georgia and they were PHENOMENAL!!! Seriously!!! I loved them like a madman! I have seen Paul Rodgers with an alternate line-up of Bad Company (I think it was in 2001) and they were quite good but it was AMAZING seeing him with Queen!!!

I saw them at the Miami Airlines Arena on March the 3rd and I thought the performance was absolutely wonderful! Both Roger and Brian were great, and Paul Rodgers did quite a good job as well...I have to admit, I didn't really expect that, and underestimated him. Overall, for me, the performance was very well...Roger's "I'm in love with my car", was like a dream come true for me! and Brian...OH MY GOSH!!!! I almost fainted when i saw him...and realized I was "breathing the same air, as he was."

My only quarrel is: "Why is ROTC edited? As in no Under Pressure?" Have they suddenly decided to do a Robert Plant/Led Zeppelin Live Aid and say: It wasn't good enough so I left it out?

Besides that, I really enjoyed the DVD and I feel that Q+PR is a great way to keep Queen alive. My only regret is that I didn't see them live.

Oh yeah, they blew it! So much for Queen!


Come on, people. We have no need to even acknowledge that discussion anymore. Paul Rodgers revitilized our favorite band, ressurecting it back in a new form. Any idiot can tell that this has absolutely NOTHING in it that can touch Queen's legacy during Freddie's life. For the BPP nimrods of the world, who gives a rat's ass what they think. It's album time, let's move forward and quit analyzing the changeover at vocals.

QPR was one of the highlights of my year. Saw them in Philly. Hoping for a new album and another tour.

that is all

I don't think the Queen name is tarnished...I saw Queen+PR live in DC...And I think it will be very interesting to hear what this studio album is gonna sound like. There is some stuff that Paul just isn't suit to sing out of Queen's catalogue, however being that it was an 'out of the ashes' tour; They had to draw upon their more well known songs. I can think of at least twenty Queen songs off the top of my head that I know Paul would put a great vocal over. To all of you older fans that are pissed off and saying that "Q+PR is shiite" or whatever...how can the older fans, the ones who have seen the original Queen at least 5 or 6 times; expect Paul Rodgers to try to sing and perform like Freddie? Change your tampon...

They call themselves how they want; we, fans, have nothing to say about this point. If they want to call themselves "The Freddie Mercuries", they do what they want. They own their rights.
Discussing this point is losing time.
