QUEEN & Paul Rodgers on Rockline, TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LuCifer]

GODCRAP if my local rockline affiliate has to be a shit Cum Channel station! FUKU Gator! (What a STUPID name for a radio station! I so can't wait for Howard Stern to go to satellite AND DESTROY THIS RADIO GA GA ALREADY!) And appologies to Gaturd listeners since you will be hearing something OTHER than the extremely annoying Howard Stern clones Boob & Tum and the same 12 overplayed crap songs!

Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers will be live (interviewed together) on Rockline, broadcast from Nashville 10:30pm -12:00 midnight CT Wednesday 12 October (8:30 - 10:30 pm Pacific) - the show is 90 minutes and wil be hosted by Bob Coburn. Calls will be taken from fans, though no audience of fans in the studio. Interview and questions only - no performance. (THAT SUCKS!)

Many thought it would never happen, least of all Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers. Queen touring without Freddie Mercury? Blasphemy! Or is it really? In the autumn of 2004, the three performed together at the first annual U.K. Music Hall of Fame Awards in London with incendiary versions of "We Will Rock You", "We Are The Champions" and "All Right Now". These storied musicians felt the energy as much as those in attendance and that performance turned into an idea, which turned into reality. On the heels of a tremendously successful 32 date series of shows in Europe, Queen + Paul Rodgers are headed to the states for a brief bicoastal run in the Meadowlands and at Hollywood Bowl. The band is augmented by Danny Miranda on bass, Jamie Moses on second guitar and Spike Edney (a long time Queen sideman) on keyboards. There is a multitude of websites for you to peruse, including

The new double live Queen + Paul Rodgers CD "Return Of The Champions" is in stores now and features songs from Queen's vast library as well as those from Paul's storied career, including songs from Bad Company and Free. Queen has sold 31.5 million albums in the U.S. alone. Paul Rodgers is considered to be one of the most listened to, and influential, voices in Rock history with his aforementioned bands as well as The Firm and in his solo career. Between them, they have recorded over 50 albums and sold in excess of a staggering 200 million worldwide. A DVD is due to be released on October 31th from the same show in Sheffield, England where this 27 song set originated. At the end of the year Queen will commemorate the 30th anniversary of "Bohemian Rhapsody" with a special DVD and CD release of the album from which it came, the classic "A Night At The Opera". Bo Rhap, as the band called it, was first released December 7th 1975.

John Deacon has retired from touring, but has given his mates his blessing. One of the many reasons this project works is because at no time does Paul ever attempt to replace, or be, Freddie Mercury. This is a new band, with a heritage like no other. The music shimmers and rocks, the chemistry is palpable and the overall experience is unforgettable. The Champions have returned and you can speak with them on the next ROCKLINE!

1. I have no problem with Queen going on with out Freddie Mercury

I have a major problem with them having Paul Rodgers front the band. I think it's an insult to Freddie's memory.

Queen has 2 other talented singers in the band who have sung many tracks on Queen albums - Rodger Taylor and Brian May. I don't understand why they felt they had to bring another singer in there when personally I think they could have done it themselves.

I adore Queen - they are #2 right behind Led Zeppelin for my adoration. But I'd rather sit through a Toby Keith concert filled to the bring with rabid repukes frothing at the mouth then to see this insultive travesty.

And btw, it's not all Queen - John Deacon retired. Geez at least Robert Plant & Jimmy Page had the decency to not call their post John-Bonham works Led Zeppelin.

2. I've mulled this over...

...and I thought "WTF!? YOU KIDDING?!" BUT, it wasn't until I actually HEARD "Return Of The Champions", I was like THIS IS STUPID! And, I MUST be the freakin ONLY person in the USA to buy a copy! Want proof? Ok, from http://www.QueenPlusPaulRodgers.com check THIS:

ROTC Chart Placings - Week 2

GEE, WHERE IS THE USA ON THIS LIST?!?!?!

Plus, they fail to mention that Roger does an INCREDIBLE JOB on singing his songs "Radio Ga Ga", "These Are The Days Of Our Lives", "I'm In Love With My Car" and "Say It's Not True"...and so does Brian on "39" and "Love Of My Life" (which was Freddie's song!), and, even if you're like me and not really a PR fan, the Q+PR versions of "Can't Get Enough", "All Right Now", "Feel Like Making Love" and "Wishing Well" are THE BEST you are going to get!!!!!!! I'd WAY rather have had Roger sing "A Kind Of Magic" (I got a bootleg of him w/ Mick Ronson playing it, it's THE SHIT!) than PR, but what can you do?! They seem to need a frontman, cuz otherwise, playing guitar or drumming AND singing IS A BITCH!

And, I'd rather read "FINAL EXIT" and make use of one of it's methods than even LISTEN to Toby KKKieth! RETCH!
