Queen / Paul Rodgers

Lila64 · 07-25-2005, 03:05 PM

They are scheduled to play 2 nights so far in the U.S. - One night on each coast... Just thought I'd pass this along for anyone interested. I was fortunate enough to see Queen in the early 80s ('The Game' tour) with Freddie (R.I.P.)

I just got an email about this; They're playing continental arena in NJ on Sunday, October 16th....Tickets on sale this saturday at !0 am.

I wish it was with Freddie

Lila64 · 07-25-2005, 03:22 PM

it won't be the same, but it still might be interesting. I never got to see Paul Rodgers by himself or with any of his bands (Bad Co., Free, The Firm,...). So we'll have to see how much tickets are going for, and if there's a chance in hell to get them via Ticketmaster this weekend...

I saw Queen 3 times in concert...would have been late 70's and early 80's.

I love this band

I saw Queen three times as well. Paul Rodgers, no matter what, will not be able to replace Freddie. No matter what.

Lila64 · 07-25-2005, 11:30 PM

of course not... but would you rather have no Queen or the band with Paul

No Queen...as Martha said, no one can replace Freddie

Lila64 · 07-26-2005, 01:12 AM

fair enough. I agree... but I'd still consider going to hear the music and taking my 11 year old daughter ...

As far as I'm concerned, it's not even a Queen concert. No Freddie, no Queen.

ditto

Bassist John Deacon isn't even in the "group" anymore, either. So it is basically a Brian May + Paul Rodgers show, with Roger Taylor doing some drums and calling it Queen....

Freddy was one of the greatest frontman ever to grace this planet. Top 5 along with Mick, Jim, Bono you can pick anyone else for the number 5 slot

Then it sure isn't Queen and I'd rather not have it, thanks.

I'm jealous of anyone who ever saw Queen live.

martha · 07-26-2005, 10:20 AM

You should be. It was a helluva show.

They were my first concert (I think). I was in Junior High. I'm pretty sure it was the Night at the Opera tour. I wore a satin shirt, of course.

Lila64 · 07-26-2005, 03:44 PM

maybe someone should sue Queen for using the name Queen, as did Densmore suing the Doors for the use of the name (Densmore just won the case). They can't use the name 'Doors' anywhere in their band name, but they can say 'founding members of The Doors'...

Oh well... Freddie, you were a great performer and your legend lives on
