Yeah! Wish they'd given him more time on the programme though - seemed like he was going to mention more about the new album (release date maybe??)...Maybe he will come in with Anita??

Next year = THIS year :-)

That's not Queen, it's Paul Rodgers with two opportunistic cowards, plus some guest musicians.

I sense a bit of opportunism in this post.
You should stick to analysis of the actual music. And just be thankful that it's not Q+RW.

Well, I think they should stick to another name instead of Queen. We're all entitled to our opinions.

And I assume Led Zeppelin are cowards then, for reuniting a couple of times with guest drummers yet labelling themselves "Led Zeppelin"...(?)
I haven't seen anyone questioning the legitimacy of Led Zeppelin's use of that name.
Maybe people are bitter about Queen using the name because it was the legendary lead singer who died, not the silent bassist or the average drummer...?
With all respect, I love your website, I love the brilliant work you do in providing accurate info about Queen's music, but you sound like one of those annoying spammers like Treasure Moment when you enter threads just to moan about Q+PR.

But, as there are element of Queen, and two composers from Queen...shirley it's Queen?

I think they're cowards too. And I think their concert was way below their level.

I personally would complain in any of those cases. Fred + Brian wouldn't be Queen. Fred + John wouldn't be Queen. Fred + Rog wouldn't be Queen. Bri + John wouldn't be Queen. Rog + John wouldn't be Queen, and of course, Bri + Rog aren't Queen.

This is a forum, so we're all here to post what we think. And what I think is what I posted. I'm not saying Fred was the band, I'm not saying Brian and Rog are bad musicians, I'm not denying Paul is marvellous. In fact, I've always said I think Brian + Roger + Paul are a wonderful combination of musicians, I think they've got great chemistry together and I think they could (and will) release high-class material. But they're not Queen, so it's IMO utterly opportunistic and coward to rely on it instead of using a new one (not related with their past). After all, they're a new band, playing new music, and (according to what Bri often claims) not living in the past.

You can't expect a bunch of 60-year-old guys to sound like a bunch of 25-year-olds, can you? Plant's vocal range alone limits them.

The thing is, Freddie never said he wanted the band to finish. The only thing we know about his opinion on the subject is that he asked Brian, Roger and John to finish Made In Heaven.
After his death, Roger, Brian and John owned the name. John decided to leave, but he gave the other two permission to use the name (if Brian was lying about this, they could've been sued by now, right?).
Besides, from the interviews and from Brian's soapbox, we can tell they are working just like the old days, using all the Queen trademarks. Why change the name when we're getting pretty much the same we used to get back in the old days, only with a different voice?

About this being a forum... Yep, you're entitled to show your opinion. But lately you've been writing your opinion in SEVERAL threads. I think we all have already gotten the point - you don't support the way they're using the name. If you keep repeating it over and over everytime someone gets excited about Q+PR news, we'll assume you're just trying to tease everybody whose opinion is different than yours.
Yet, once again I'll say... Nothing personal. I really respect you and your work.
