Its not a taboo for a musician to compose new songs.
but only thing that make me angry is the name of "QUEEN" for the band name.
evevryone knows there is not/will not be queen.
Brian may, Roger Taylor (and Paul Rodgers) is the best title for band. just like many other artists.

To the idiots who say "who caress etc", well we care, that's why i posted the question, and if you don't care fuck off, call yourself a Queen fan.
To the real fans, thanks for your messages, i too cannot wait for some new material, keep on rockin' Queen!

The first post, you said you wanted to hear from everyone. The tone of this one suggests that you only want opinions which agree with your own.
In which case, you're a cunt.

Freddie Mercury wasn't kicked out of the band, he died. He worked as much on the band as he could in his final days and he DID ask Brian, Roger and John to carry on. The last thing he asked the band was to keep working on the new album (Made In Heaven) and release it.
John Deacon never argued with Brian and Roger. He decided to retire, and gave them permission to do whatever they wanted with the band and its name. He was even invited for the 2005/2006 tour. He declined it, but he gave them green light to hire another bassist and carry on with the project.
And least but not last...
The same feeling is alive. Of course they once in a while pay tribute to Freddie, they're all into the AIDS awareness thing, which they weren't before Freddie actually got AIDS and died. But in general, it's still the very same band. You can see an interview with one of them nowadays and an interview with one of them back when Freddie was alive, and you'll see they're pretty much the same. It's not like the Guns n' Roses. There isn't one selfish member who fired all the others and spent over a decade turning the band into a commercial flop while changing the line up practically every year and promising a new album for over a decade.

You are the mediocre fan. You basically said Freddie was a French restaurant, and the other guys can't be more than McDonald's.
Brian May and Roger Taylor are WONDERFUL musicians. They were, to say the least, as important as Freddie. If Freddie Mercury was the only talent in Queen, or MUCH more talented than the other guys, Ibex wouldn't have been a flop. Smile, which had Brian and Roger but NO Freddie was more successful than Ibex.
I don't know how you old are, but I'm just seventeen (no pun intended), so I've never had the chance to witness Queen releasing new music. Made In Heaven was released when I was 4 or 5 years old. Rocks featured ONE new song and I was 6 or 7 years old...
Now I can finally know what it feels like to see my biggest idols releasing a new album. Now I know what it feels like to check your idol's website every week for news on the album, and getting all excited over things like "It's going to be a double album", "We've already got 8 songs", "We'll probably go on tour again to support the album"...
And then, when the album is out, I'll be here, wishing with all my heart that the album and tour will be successful enough so that they'll consider stopping by my country as well, and I'll finally see them live.
When I was becoming a Queen fan, I got upset many times thinking about the fact that I was becoming a fan of a "dead" band, and I wouldn't see new songs out, and DEFINITELY wouldn't see them on stage, just a few meters away from me.
The collaboration with Paul Rodgers is the biggest chance to change that situation - and let's face it, PR is doing a damn good job! For once Queen found someone who neither ruins their songs nor tries to sound like Freddie. Freddie was good, but Freddie "impersonators" can be just as irritating as 5ive.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you 100%
It's awesome being able to witness our idols putting together a new album, and possibly much, much more![/QUOTE]
well said, raf!!
i was honored to be just a few feet away from brian may and roger taylor last march. if they had not toured, i would not have gotten as close to them as i did (which will probably be the closest ill ever get) and would not have caught brians towel. its a treasured item of a fantastic, and possibly the best night of my life. i loved the energy, and we know freddies spirit is very much alive, and as a musician, i can imagine having a tragedy with the loss of a freind, a colleague and a one-of-a-kind frontman, as a career loss and a personal loss, its hard. and i know that roger and brian love to play and tour, and i dont see in any way why the hell they shouldnt.
they know it isnt queen anymore but hte energy and spirit of queen is still there. queen was not just freddie, as you said, otherwise his solo stuff wouldve been much more successful than it was.
but still, i am thrilled to know they are still working and doing what they love. i couldnt have said it better, myself.

Told ya - You won't be able to make a difference. You don't even know what I mean. But being 17 you still believe that sea reaches your knees only. For your information, since you asked, I'm 35, and I am from a totally different generation from your consuming one. And yes, there is a difference between culture and mass-culture but it takes several books to read. So go back to school and start learning how this is done!

when i think about it, why not? they should however have worked with another singer, pauls singing doesnt fit, its out of time, he doesnt sing in time.
Everyone knows this is not queen and does not take this so serious anyways.

[TREASURE MOMENT MODE] He knows more about music than you lowlife creature with no taste! [/TREASURE MOMENT MODE]
Oops, sorry, I didn't mean that. It's just that I see it coming.
I think he knows a bit about music but sadly he seems to think his opinion is undeniably a fact, which is pretty stupid.
Actually, I don't think TreasureMoment flames Paul Rodgers as much as other posters I've seen around.
Still, acknowledging somebody else's opinion and being able to see his/her view in life enriches your own perspective.

Maybe I have missed something here, but I thought they were supposed to be back in the studio last month?

Yes they were. I wonder how those sessions went. Brian hasn't written a word about this matter on soapbox. He only talks about comets (and the musical, of course) these days.

Yep, they scheduled enter the studio in "October", but not set on stone the exactly day. they actualy are working for a few days now(3 or 4) and will be there one more week(at Least). Then go back to work when Paul returns to England in December for the Ertgun/Zeppelin Concert. Album should be finished on those sessions, middle December.
