I mean, come on! Without Freddy, there is no point in performing the songs. You might as well reform the Beatles without John, George, Ringo or Paul.

First of all they are touring as Queen + Paul Rodgers. So they do not only use Queen. I agree with you Queen was the four playing together. Now the remaining two Brian and Roger decided to go on tour again. John agreed that they could and they got the blessings from Freddies mother and sister. \nWhat is the point for me as a fan? Very simple to see the guys perform again, keep the Queen music alive. Do you know how cool it to see your idols play again, and rock what they never really did since Freddie died. Just the vibe of new concerts, bootlegs, new cds, setlists, songs etc. \nThen why they do it? They said in numerous interviews NOT for the money. But just because they like to do what they're good at, make music. And if you have seen them live you could see they had enormous fun. I've seen them four times, and I could see that they were making jokes and laughing etc. \nOh yeah and Freddie was not the band. There were four of them and they had an equal share in writing and playing. But the face was Freddie I will agree, but they were a band because they were equal and good at what they all did.

You are so right! Their old stuff rocks (I have Insomniac and Int'l Superhits!, looking for a Nimrod). I was watching "Welcome To Paradise" which is supposed to look like a live show, and the video never really focuses on any on member of the band. Billie Joe wasn't out there grabbing hands either, at the end of the video he was doing crowd dives and stuff like that, pushing the security guys around with the rest of the crowd. What I really can't stand in "St. Jimmy" is the shot of the little seven-or-so-year-old girl. Really-really-really-teenie bopper, my God!

Can I vote for none of the above?  This talentless duo makes me almost pine for the return of Fantasia.....\n\nAlmost.   \n\nAnd now that the show is a minor hit, can't they get someone to write a song for the final two that doesn't sound like it was jotted down by Diane Warren on TP while he was getting rid of last night's dinner?

Every time a World Cup or the European Championships come around both Frank Skinner and David Baddiel are asked if they will be releasing a new song. Unfortunately they've said they have no intention of doing another and considering how good Three Lions was its hardly surprising. It would be difficult to surpass and they have already re-released the song as you said. There's only so many times you can sing the one song. Unless you're Tony Christie singing "Amarillo"...

She's a silly bint, hope she gets the next trial, off to watch it now on my sky plus - oh my GOD - having just watched it that was painful viewing, loved Ant and Dec's intro and reaction to the clip. Couldn't she have just said "People wouldn't necessarily guess, but my favourite music is reggae" - instead of embarrassing herself and all white people by going on about how she was the only white person there - Phina didn't make it a racial issue, so why did she feel the need to justify herself?  And she could have just sang the song but the fact that she sang it with a faux Jamaican accent made it even worse.

A real friend would like you for who you are and not what kind of music you listen to.  Friends don't always have to agree on music choices to get along, but I'm sure there are people who like The Beatles.  (I'm one of them)

Yes, but in a very small, private setting, so I could hear the band perform the song instead of the 50,000 screaming yahoos (sorry) sitting around me. I don't even go to concerts anymore because all you hear are the people around you singing the songs. It's like paying $50 to listen to everyone sing Karaoke all at once.\n\nPlease, shut up and enjoy the band, people. Just my humble opinion.

I will sign the petition and hope you get your concert cause I've been a fan for lots of years and I have seen them live. I think Dave had laryngitis and that's why it was called off, but still they need to reschedule. In my opinion. Hope you get enough signatures. And enjoy the concert if they respond to your request. Devotee for life.

A number one hit in England in 1968, gent by the name of Paul McCartney wrote the song that John Lennon absolutely hated, one of the first songs ever recorded which had a raggae sound to it which had "pop" success the guitars were over modulated to give the desired effect. John Lennon played the piano for it.  Uhmmm let me see if I can think of it, well er would have to say Paul mistakenly sang "Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face." It was intended to be "Molly," but Paul decided to leave it in to create confusion, Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on.  Hmm what did they say?  Believe it was supposed to be Desmond has a BARROW but has been subjected to barrell for many years but Molly was definately the singer.\n\nIt's a tough one to answer but hopefully did ok, I tried anyways is much harder than anything by Ray Stevens :P  So may I ask, how did I do?  I hope I won something, anything, even a peek at Hank Williams Jr would be nice!  Did I win, huh did I did I?  Don't know if was first but am probably one of few who knows history to song LMAO

I bloody hate John Lennon too. Hate to speak ill of the dead but he did NOTHING to change the world. I agree totally.

I saw a show on MTV about this. They are paid royalities for the use of their songs. Alot of remakes of earlier rock music is being sung today. People like Uncle Cracker, Jessica Simpson, Madonna, and even Shaggy are doing it.

Black Sabbath, I went to see them live and I got real close, I was so disappointed.  The guitarist, (Tony Iommi or was it someone else) any way his fingers kept the same chord only it moved up and down the fret board on every song. I thought what a bum, I could do that and make a million dollars. I've disliked them ever since.

I agree 100%.  These bands today are all toe gazers, constantly depressed.  Dio has a very good new album out.  I'd kill for a Grand Funk Railroad reunion.  The problem is a lot of these older bands have just one original member.   I saw Iron Butterfly about 10 years ago and the singer was the only original member and he was so smashed he could barely stand up.  Bring back the NWOBHM.  Tygers of Pan Tang, Scorpions, Accept just to name a few.  Rock on and Rock hard.

I agree...the Beatles without Ringo wouldn't be the Beatles we know today. It's been said that Ringo is an extremely solid drummer with a unique sound. Not flashy, but still unique. But his enduring contribution to the Beatles was his personality.
