Queen + Paul Rodgers - Anyone Pissed They're Not Coming to Ireland?

Motley Crue

I'm heading to see them in Newcastle next week, on what will technically be the 2nd leg of their UK dates, since they already played Scotland and a few other dates at the start of this month.

I noticed no Dublin date at all, which is suprising, since we let Brian May's solo band play here in Dec 1993. I would have taught he would have had some compassion.

I kid, by the way, I love Brian May and his solo stuff isn't that bad

Personally I am not bothered.

I don't know if I'd have gone to see them. I really enjoyed the Queen + Paul Rodgers gig in the Point, but I think the whole enterprise is beginning to outstay its welcome. It'll probably lead to another live album and another DVD. I appreciate the fact that Brian and Roger would rather be active, and that more people are going to see them under the Queen moniker as opposed to solo shows, but it's just a moneyspinner at this stage.

I thought Brian May's solo gig in The Point was dreadful, not least because he ignored constant chants for '39, which the crowd would have just sung anyway. At least in going I got to see Cozy Powell play live, but for me, the highlight of the night was all the nutters up the front doing the chant from In the Lap of the Gods before the show started. That was worth the admission price alone.
