| Less than 4 weeks to go until
WWRY opens in Vegas The previews have been successful and Brian put a photo of the cast on his website. Reviewjournal.com published an article called "Rock in a Hard Place". Roger, never tired of saying how much he hates musicals, said: "I grew up loathing musical theater. Men in tights, bursting into song and jumping around. I just hated it." Even the generally well-received Broadway version of "The Who's Tommy" bothered him. "I think it got too arty," Taylor says. "('We Will Rock You') sounds great and it is about rock 'n' roll. Tommy' is rock 'n' roll trying to escape what it is." (source) John... A very happy (though belated) birthday to John! :::Site Updates::: New screencaps are online. This time they are taken from the "Party At The Palace"-DVD. Enjoy! |

| Roger on VH1 online news
The grand US debut of Queen's rock and roll musical We Will Rock You is about a month away, and the band is hoping to replicate the success they've had with the Robert-DeNiro-produced show in other places around the globe. Queen's Roger Taylor says it's thanks to one universal language that it's done so well in Spain, The UK - and hopefully the US, too. "It really fits in well and it'll make people laugh, I think. So it's quite weird, it takes up a lot of time, bringing it to different countries, different cultures, different jokes, that's a difficult bit. The only thing that is truly transcends the country gap is the music really, which is lucky really." Speaking of lucky, Roger Taylor was the only member of Queen who was spared in a recent Q Magazine "rock list." According to the British magazine, he's among "Nine Men That Have Dressed As Women and Looked Good At It." As for the rest of Queen, they fall into the list of "Nine Men That Have Dressed As Women And Not Pulled It Off." Nice going, Roger! And apologies to Brian May and John Deacon and the late Freddie Mercury. (source) News on forthcoming releases August 17th sees the release of the official "We Will Rock You" edition of the band's "Greatest Hits" marking the September 8th premiere of the hit musical at Paris Las Vegas. You can pre-order your copy on Amazon.com. See Brian's website for details of the tracklisting. The album is entirely revamped including new re-mastering by Justin Shirley Smith, new packaging featuring a classic Snowden band photo, previously unreleased photos by Mick Rock, new liner notes by members Brian May and Roger Taylor along with journalists Greg Brooks and Mac Randall, plus two exclusive live bonus tracks from the band's DVD -- "Tie Your Mother Down" (originally a single from the band's 1976 album "A Day at the Races") and a version of the August 1981 recording, "Under Pressure," originally co-written with David Bowie and recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux, Switzerland. All this plus the rare single version of "I'm In Love With My Car" (as heard in this summer's Jaguar campaign.) (source) Hollywood records announced on their website that November 2nd is the tentative U.S. release date of the new audio album "Command Performance Milton Keynes 1982" and the "On Fire At The Bowl" DVD. |
