  3. Is anyone else a little skeptical about the new album?

    One off live events and documentaries can't be compared to an album of music that presumably will bare the name Queen. I'm well aware that this part of my case feeds back into the old Paul Rodgers argument, of which i...

  4. Is anyone else a little skeptical about the new album?

    I can't get past the feeling that it's just scraping the barrel, and tarting things up that were probably abandoned for very good reasons. It's not that I'm against having the material released, far from it. I just do...

  19. Adam Lambert to sing with Queen at the EMAs?

    When the singer from Keane is seen as the 'credible' alternative, then you know things have definitely gone sour.
