Roger and Brian
on Canadian Idol and "WWRY" Toronto The incomparable Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen will be returning to Toronto to participate in upcoming episodes of Canadian Idol, the immensely popular TV show broadcast nationwide on CTV. The two rock legends will "workshop" with this year's Idol competitors. What this means is that they will work with and give advice to the Top 7 finalists. Brian and Roger will also perform on Canadian Idol. In all, there will be two "We Will Rock You: The Music of Queen" themed episodes of Canadian Idol broadcast on CTV on August 6 and 7. Mark your calendars now. Better yet, if you want to be part of the excitement, if you want to be there "live" when Brian and Roger's performance will be taped, we have the inside information: On the regularly scheduled Wednesday, August 1st performance, Brian and Roger will join the entire company of WE WILL ROCK YOU in Toronto at the Canon Theatre and perform live in the encore of "Bohemian Rhapsody." The seven remaining Canadian Idol finalists will also be part of the encore and Brian and Roger will also perform one extra song, which will be a surprise (we don't even know the song they will choose until that night). Those of you who have already purchased tickets to the August 1st WE WILL ROCK YOU performance at the Canon Theatre in Toronto are in for an amazing and rare performance. If you want to be part of this historic event, there are a few seats still available. But hurry, once the news spreads, the tickets will go fast. (source: WWRY Toronto newsletter). |

| :::Site updates::: | Not much really but there's now a neat little script on the top of this site (just below the header "Latest...") that will display news items. This way I am able to add short blurbs without having to be at home and therefore keep the site a bit more up-to-date. | |

Harmonic new
Queen album Rock supergroup QUEEN are planning a return to the charts in 2008 after recording nine new songs with singer PAUL RODGERS. The Show Must Go On rockers are said to be delighted with the progress they're making on their first studio album since frontman Freddie Mercury's death in 1991. And former Free and Bad Company star Rodgers is so happy with his new bandmates, he's hoping to tour with them again. He tells Billboard.com, "With Queen and myself, it's a very organic thing. We're letting it sort of develop itself naturally and not pushing it or giving it any pressure. "We go in, just the three of us. Roger (Taylor) gets on the kit, Brian (May) gets on the guitar, I get on the acoustic guitar and piano, either/or, and then we share the bass line afterwards... I can hear the song line and then Brian can hear all the harmonies on top of it. "Brian knows exactly what he's doing and we don't know what it's going to sound like, but when we go back into the studio and the engineer puts everything up we all go, 'Holy smokes, listen to that!' So that's the genius of harmonies." (source) |

| :::Site Updates::: | Since Paul Rodgers
is on tour, Brian is busy with his thesis and it is rumoured that
Roger is boating in the Bahamas I had some time to add a few things
to the website that I wanted to for a long time. If you click on "Fun
Stuff" on the menu you will now find Crystal's tales and Roger's
tips. I hope you like it. I also added to new video downloads. The first one is quite old but I haven't seen it anywhere else for download. It is an interview Roger did for the German TV show "Wetten, dass" where he spilled the beans about the tour in 2005. The second one is the SAS band's TV pilot. Enjoy! |
