Why is Queen touring when Freddy Mercury was the band?

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.

alright, true story. watch the movie pcu, the part at the end where the tour bus stops to pick up gutter, the driver of the bus with pfunk is named louie. i know this dude. he is george's good friend, plays in the band. (the only white guy) but he is usually wearing a costume hiding his white skin. anyways, we were talking last month about george. he plays alot of instruments, he only ever recorded piano parts on parliment/funkadelic records but doesn't play anything live. it prevents him from dancing around and he says everyone in the band can play everything better than me so why should i do it.

Queen, of course, even thou Mr. Bad Guy is not around anymore.\nTheir music is fun, rocky and has some plain good old tunes along with quite meaningful lyrics.\nBut some love them and the rest hate them, there's no middle ground.\nI, for one, will always love them!\nQueen rocks!!

I saw him a few nights ago with "Guns N' Roses" here in NYC. Of course it would have been better if it were the real band, and yeah Axl's pretty messed up, but it was an awesome show nonetheless. I think we're going to try to go again tonight.

Steve was kicked out and replaced by Matt Sorum.  Dizzy quit and was replaced by Gilby Clarke. Slash, Duff and Matt are now in Velvet Revolver and Scott Weiland (formerly STP) is the singer.  Guns n' Roses is now only Axl Rose with a new batch of musicians.  They will (maybe) be releasing the new album Chinese Democracy this year.\n\nI miss the old GNR...

Yes, he actually toured with Journey for a while as the bassist.  He also produced some albums, if I recall correctly.  He actually has a pretty good background for the show.

Maybe they're on the road somewhere.  I think they've been touring together recently.

In March he performed with members of Alice in Chains and dedicated the songs to Dimebag Darrell. He joined Arson Anthem and is currently recording with them. He has stated that he is clean

Led Zeppelin, Queen with Freddie Mercury and Van Halen with David Lee Roth.\n\nThey are my 3 favorite bands that I was never able to see live and never will. (Unless you believe DLR's recent claim that Van Halen will reunite, which I don't)\n\nAnd since I'm bringing people back from the dead, I might as well keep dreaming and say that each band would play every song they ever made. This concert would be several days long..

Just for those who need more info. to decide; \nhere's a quip from Wikipedia about a rock legend...\n\n Freddie Mercury (September 5, 1946 – November 24, 1991) was a rock musician, best known as the frontman and lead singer for the English rock band Queen.\n He is remembered for his powerful vocal abilities and charisma as a live performer.\n As a songwriter, he composed many international hits, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Somebody to Love", "We Are the Champions" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."\n Mercury died from complications of AIDS, greatly increasing public awareness of the disease.\n\nIMHO, I don't see any comparison, so my vote is for Freddie, since I have never cared much for Mariah's work.

Neither.  Megadeth does Gigantour and Alice will not draw that well without Layne. They need to get a band of a Priest/Maiden caliber.  AC/DC and Metallica are both poised to return.  Come on Sharon don't forget your base!!!

I was at a Motley Crue concert a long time ago in Germany.  AFterwards a lot of us went to a club and they showed up.  Tommy Lee and was out in the "bus" with a lot of girls.  Heather Locklear wasn't there.
