Brilliant news about QUEEN touring we knew it was only a matter of time and sure enough i think will know the dates by the end of the month.
Bring it on guys.

"Time for them to find something new to call themselves, isn't it?"
Aha but by your own logic, you should no longer be posting on this issue. You have said your piece. Should you not move on?
I don't for a minute entertain the idea of following you from thread to thread on this, I'm just curious about the double-standard here.
"This isn't a right or wrong thing... it's all a matter of opinion."
Hardly... calling them cowards or leeches implies that they've violated what (to you) is some important moral code here. This makes it a matter of right or wrong, doesn't it?
I suppose that's a matter of semantics... perhaps 'your opinion of right and wrong'. Hoo, that could get muddled....
Essentially we agree that putting Queen on the new material is questionable *at best*... I really think they should just come up with a new name, but I'm hardly militant about it.
I do not understand how you got from that reasoning, to going from topic to topic with what is virtually a copy-paste message.
I understand your frustration, but can't you at least be intelligent about it? It is tantamount to spam to not try and take part in the discussion at hand; but rather to just plop in whatever you said in another thread.
And, if you have nothing intelligent to say on the subject, or merely can't be assed - you could try not posting.
Meh!

How greedy of Bri and Rog to still use the name Queen.
But it's their band, and I'm fine with whatever they do.

It's that "same old, same old" time again. Does it really matter what they call themselves? This debate's been going for nearly 8 years now, since Queen (Ahem!!! Brian & Roger, "for all you moaning minnies") teamed up with five. It's not really up to us, If Brian & Roger want to call themselves Queen + Paul Rodgers, is it. It's up to them.
People shouldn't be so shallow minded, enjoy it for what it is, "Great Music & Great Shows"
Maybe all the negative people's moans, have reached the ears of Brian & Roger, hence the new single labled as "BRIAN MAY, ROGER TAYLOR, QUEEN & Paul Rodgers" this time. I wonder if the new album will be labled the same?

Yes, some might say "going from topic to topic with what is virtually a copy-paste message" was cowardly :-)
Personally, I think its just boring. Tantamount to a child who knows he isn't getting his way laying down in the floor and throwing a tantrum in every room in the house 'til the snot flies, just for the sake of making everyone else as miserable as he is.
You may also not like the fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but its still going to happen, and every day, so at some point you've just got to shut up and live with it - because regardless of the direction it travels in, the sun is pretty nice.

I don't give a fuck if they call it Queen, Queen + Paul Rodgers, Queen II, Smile, Smile Again, Bad Queen Company, Queen Free, Freddie Mercury Was Gay, AIDS is the Cure or 3 Old Farts. As long as we'll get some new music and a great tour like in 2005/2006.

Well said. Its the most fannish and anal retentive of arguments to have, "what they call themselves". Everybody knows who's in the band, how they got there, where they came from, and what catalog of music they're bringing with them. Beyond that, who gives a shit what they want to call themselves. And the saddest part is that someone who is otherwise obviously a fairly intelligent and reasonable chap as Sebastian can't - or perhaps more accurately won't - let it go.
Although I rather like "Freddie Mercury Was Gay".

This interview seems to be the hot topic here on QZ. Sadly, most of you guys seem to have missed the point totally. Let's put these news into perspective.
The big news was NOT that they are going to call themselves Queen + Paul Rodgers (though it is kinda interesting that the best thing these three very creative artists can come with is Q+PR. I just hope they didn't put all their creative energy into that, and their music will be more imaginative).
Also, the news that they are going to tour this year was hardly a surprize to anyone. No no no. The REAL BIG news was something else. Did you even notice that Brian revealed us that "the hair" isn't going to be there forever? THAT was simply shocking!!!

Hehe :P
I did forget to mention one bit in that post.
Apparently, word is that PUSA has fired TAJ Studios, but nothing else is known at this point... (maybe they're trying to bring back the old VA's in response to the myriad complaints they've gotten from the fans...? That would be a feat in itself, because as we understand, 4Kids has a clause in their contracts with the VA's, that they can't work on 4Kids-dubbed series should those properties get transferred to another studio/company, like Pokemon and One Piece did)
And I know Pokemon isn't really relevant in the Queen VS Q+PR isn't "Queen" discussions, but I thought I'd bring it up since, despite voice acting not really being music in this sense even THOUGH it does provide us entertainment nonetheless on the final product, this 'Queen isn't Queen without Freddie/John' debate crap really reminded me about the 4Kids VS PUSA VA situation...
The ironic part about this was, even though most fans didn't like the VA's at first, those same VA's eventually found their own way to get comfortable in their roles AND make it work as their own over time, which led to more acceptance among the fans...and then, when PUSA took that work away from them and hired soundalikes, all the fans really got split in half on that, hardcore.
I'd even go as far as to say it was and still is more severe than the current(?) Queen VS Q+PR debates, hence the banning of VA discussions on our boards, since it has become akin to political discussions which, as everyone knows is a no-no on virtally all websites and a lot of chatrooms on the Internets since it leads to a lot of needless childish flaming :P
So I can't see why the remaining few whiners can't come to terms that, despite all the whining and bitching whatnot, it is not going to bring Freddie back from the dead, and that we *should* embrace the new work from Queen with Paul Rodgers as it is, because this will be the closest thing we'll get to classic Queen (unless John rejoins the band, which would be even closer....those bass lines on the newer songs aren't as inspiring as they used to be, I'll say).
I'm personally glad we're getting any new Queen material as it is.
After all, it could have turned out to go the Beatles route, with not even the three remaining members of Queen recording any material together before one of those three died (aside from Free As A Bird and Real Love, there was never any new material made with George, Paul and Ringo as "The Beatles" before George died, which was really a shame...nor any three-member concert shows/appearances)

Mr. Faron Hyte, with all due respect as I've read lots of your posts over the years and you're a solid member of this board, but why on earth does a fairly intelligent and reasonable chap such as yourself waste your time posting retorts on a place like QZ? Isn't it a little pathetic replying to meaningless posts?, because who gives a shit what people care about a band with bigger issues in the world.
Would be kinda cool, a "Freddie Mercury Is Gay European Tour 2008" t-shirt, with a huuuuuge picture of Freddie from October 1991 on it. I'd love to wear that.

Well that's just a sprawling piece of illogic right there.
There's nothing meaningless in my post asking Sebastian exactly why he has a bug in his arse that's possessing him to go from thread to thread saying 'cowards' or whatever his word-of-the-day is now.
Unless of course you are talking about someone elses post, in which case ; fire away.
One thing puzzling me is how you found the time to wander by the thread when there are bigger issues in the world??
