From http://www.QueenPlusPaulRodgers.com

Some of rock's greatest anthems are to be heard
performed live again across America after more than 20
years, as rock legends QUEEN, now joined forces with
Paul Rodgers, singer and songwriter of BAD
COMPANY/FREE fame, announce they are to play a 23-date
tour of the USA and Canada this coming spring.

The tour announcement comes only a matter of weeks
after QUEEN and Rodgers ignited sold out box office
and strong media attention with two showcase
performances at Meadowlands, NJ, and the Hollywood
Bowl on a stop-off along the way to their recent sold
out Japanese tour.

Away from the North America concert circuit for more
than two decades — an enforced retirement brought on
by the tragic loss of lead singer Freddie Mercury —
QUEEN with Rodgers will launch into their
coast-to-coast tour Friday March 3 in Miami, Fl at the
American Airlines Arena.

Spending six weeks on U.S. soil, the band will closely
re-route it's triumphant '82 North American tour,
bringing it back to the QUEEN heartlands: Washington,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland,
Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Portland, among other US
cities, plus Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver,
where the tour winds up on April 13, 2006.

Tickets for these much-anticipated shows go on sale
earliest December 3 with on sales across the country
at different dates up until December 17.

Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster with a
Special Presale starting November 30th at
www.queenpluspaulrodgers.com, www.queenonline.com, or
www.paulrodgers.com.

For the spring 2006 tour dates Brian May (guitar &
vocals), Roger Taylor (drums & vocals) and Paul
Rodgers (vocals, guitar & piano) are joined by Danny
Miranda (ex-BLUE ÖYSTER CULT) on bass, Jamie Moses
(former BRIAN MAY band member) on second guitar, and
Spike Edney (longtime QUEEN sideman) on keyboards.
(QUEEN bassist John Deacon has retired from touring.)

If they add Orlando, FUKU IT! I'm going to that show AND MIAMI! FINALLY! MY PRAYERS TO SATAN HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING and I MEAN NOTHING will keep my ass from seeing them! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

I was gonna post this earlier today, but DAMN THIS BIRD FLU (or whatever) is still kicking my ass! But that's ok, this here am be bottle of wine will BUUUURP probably flush out the last of these shit germs and BUUURP oh yummy, chunky one! Plus I had to BE AN ASS and brag and gloat that VHeadline.com published my letter, which I NEVER in a BILLION years thought they would!!!!!!!! HEY EVERYONE, HINT HINT! SEND THEM A LETTER TO THE EDITOR! RIP BU$Hitler OIL CARTEL INC. A NEW CORNHOLE AND SHOW THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT THE NEO-KKKON CRACK PARTY IS OOOOOOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FYI Jamie Moss & Spike Edney both were in Roger's kick ass side band THE CROSS and if you can find ANY of their albums, espeically "SHOVE IT", GET THEM! And on the UK version of that album, Freddie Mercury sings "Heaven For Everyone" so it's a PAIN IN THE ASS cuz Roger vocal version is on the USA version. And the UK one has the REMIX of "Shove It" but doesn't have "Feel The Force" BUT THE US ONE HAS IT! MAKE UP Y'ALL'S MINDS! Yes, I have BOTH versions! You'd expect LESS from ME!? HA!

And if you DO NOT have a copy of "RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS" get the fuck with it! OH OOOOOOOH! BUY 20 COPIES AND GIVE THEM OUT TO YOUR FIENDS AND FAMILY!!!!!!!!! IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU A BRITNEY SPEARS CD, NAPALM THEIR HOUSE & BBQ THEIR CHILDERN!!!!!!! DIE SUPPORTERS OF SHIT MUSIC, DIE!

Lu Cifer, and like the song "SHOVE IT" says best "First class, second class, upper class, UNTIL IT'S UP YOUR ASS! So why do people scrape and fuss WHEN EVERYONE IS JUST LIKE US?! If you think the class system's dead, YOU BETTER GET A NEW HEAD! And you can SHOVE IT!"

...I AM THERE! Hey, they could do WAY worse than PR. How about AXL! Oh yeah, let's all just :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

Lu

eeek...you are right.

And what a horrid performance he did at the Freddie tribute. Gawd, as if Robert Plant sounds like he hadn't sung in 10 years wasn't painful enough!

Lu

...And it's not really Free or Bad Company either. But the combination works better than I thought it would. I bought the DVD of their summer tour and I'm not sorry. I'd like to hear what would happen if they made some new music together without the pretense of being "Queen".

I'd like to see the show next spring, but I wish the damn tickets weren't going on sale so soon. Not the best time for me, financially.

What I'd really like to see them do is to work in some surprise club gigs like the Stones often do on their tours. Paul Rodgers lives somewhere in the Seattle area, so the Pacific Northwest would be a good bet for such a show if they decided to do it.

...I mulled it over FOR A LONG LONG TIME in my head. "WTF?! How can this work? I know Brian and Roger would NOT do something that would SUCK. But I can't quite get it." So I said OH TO HELL WITH IT and bought a copy of "RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS" and I was like HOLY DAMN! The version of "RADIO GA GA" is PHENOMINAL. You'd NEVER know it was any different or whatever with Roger singing his own song, it fits THAT WELL. And same goes to "THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES". And Brian sings "LOVE OF MY LIFE" like it was HIS song! All be it, there ARE some rought spots. Don't start me on "TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN" ok! And seriously, can we DO WITHOUT "Another One Bites The Dust" already?! Do like a 2 minute version of it incorporated into a medley and BE DONE WITH IT! Also, I'm NOT a huge BadCo/Free fan (though I liked The Firm, thank you Jimmy Page!) by any stretch. BUT, I have to say, the versions of the BadCo & Free songs that QUEEN/PR do on "ROTC" are THE BEST that I have heard EVER. I guess it's best to say it's an aquired taste. And don't forget:
THE SHOW MUST GO ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lu Cifer, I don't care if I have to eat raman noodles for the next 3 months, I'm GOING!

Wouldn't much care to see the Stones without Mick, either.

since I posted this at 3 AM last night, yeah, real smart!

Is ANYONE down with this, or is the "It's not Queen w/o Freddie" crowd going to flame me worse than if Michael Moore was to post on freeptardville!?!?!?

Lu Cifer, scene 1, take 2, ACK-SHUN!
