Hi all! I'm a newbie, so even though it seems a bit quiet around here I thought I'd pop in to just say hello To be honest I've been glancing thru the message board for a long time really in a 'lurking' kind of way (too lazy to register I suppose) I'm a die-hard, old Roger/Queen fan and I wont tell you my age 'cos I still like to think of myself as an eternal teenager or aged adolescent which is a definition I came across on this board and it suits me perfectly too, but let's just say I'm younger than Roger's former sweetheart Debbie Leng *g* Anyway enough about me, just wanted to say I think this message board is fun and the best Roger site I've stumbled into. O btw one more thing, come show your support on the Facebook page I set up to salute his new cd single The Unblinking Eye, if you want: www.facebook.com/search/?q=roger+taylor+the+unblinking+eye&init=quick#/pages/Roger-Taylor-The-Unblinking-Eye/251568266236?ref=search&sid=1658884129.3139214475..1There are hundreds more Roger fan Groups and Pages there too (and for those who are not familiar with Facebook, it's a global social network). Enjoy your week-end everyone

Thank you for welcoming me to the board I came back today and was happy to see I wasnt being totally ignored ;D Also, it looks like Queen fans have been doing their homework as all of a sudden there over 100 members on my The Unblinking Eye FB Page which is great esp. since Roger hasnt been doing much promotion apparently and the media have already started to abuse him! (so what's new... ) p.s. Err, well yes, I admit to getting carried away babbling sometimes, sorry...

Ha ha lol. No problem, I know it feels good to be welcomed. Awesome, I absolutely LOVE that song, its wonderful. Yes, the media are horrible, just because its a protest song, a true one at that, and a really good song, well as you said, what's new!!! Ach. Roger should do more promotion. Its been ages since he released a single. I love the music vid for it, its great.
P.s. I babble a lot too, so on every forum I'm on, I tend to hav people who dont particularly like me!!!

Not me, I love talkers I googled Roger recently (of all things I could do to him, lol! ) and somewhere I read an album was due out Jan. 4!! Well, that's long past and where is it?? I checked the Queen on line website but they dont even mention the possibility of him realising a new album soon (face droops) Too bad! I agree we need protest songs, I loved Green Day's American Idiot and I wish there were more around really, to kind of promote or support a social awakening. Ok I'll get off my soapbox now lest someone mistakes me for Brian May (I love the guy though honest) I also came across this review that criticises (need I say it?) the lyrics of Roger's new song and even the music *sighs* Are they biased or what? I mean, you can object to the lyrics but who is there to say what kind of music suits a protest song?? O well, check it out if you have some time to waste indieethos.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/queens-roger-taylor-could-try-harder/ ps Dumb question: how do you upload the stupid avatar? Roger must not be the only one who's getting old... ;D

Hi Elena, Welcome to the board! About the critic-link, let's face it, The Unblinking Eye lyrics are not really that poetic... Nevertheless, I'm very glad to see him record something. I don't think we should hope for an album (remember Felix & Arty? Would have loved an album from them...). But it is strange that there's no mention about his tour with Taylor Hawkins yet. I mean, it's almost spring, right...?!? Or is that my wishfull thinking. Anyway, have fun on the board!

Thanks, I'll do my best. I'm kind of tired of having monologues on my FB Unblinking Eye Page Out of 200+ members only a score left a comment, it seems so hard to get ppl to interact (lack of time? lack of interest?) Maybe I should post a message that reads "Roger's new lover" or "RT kicked politician's ass" or something but I wouldnt stoop so low, would I? Which reminds me a while ago I was in a comatose state in front of the tv (in theory watching Cnn) and all of a sudden I caught a glimpse of a newsflash "Roger Taylor involved in a bar brawl!" My little green feelers instantly pricked up only to discover it was a namesake of his, a football player or someone, so I relaxed and my brain went dead again. Ok so our Rog is no Bob Dylan (nor is Springsteen at that) Not really versed in metaphors, is he? But after all a protest song isnt a love song and it doesnt have to be lyrical at all costs as long as it gets the point across and I think our boy does make his statement I'll lurk in a Foo Fighters' blog to see if they have more recent updates re. Roger teaming up with Taylor Hawkins (nice dude btw). O dear and this is yet another looong post, please bear with me! And have a nice week-end too
