they had not changed their music style so dramatically after 'the game'. I mean, if queen had released another QUEEN 2 or ANATO in the 80's do u reckon it would have been successful and could they had survived if they didnt change with the times.

No.
I dunno, maybe?
Yes, and Snickers would still be Marathon.
Ah, those were the days.

I agree with John. If they hadnt chnged their style, they themselves would have got bored with doing the same thing and probably split up afterwards.
Even if they hadnt split, they would become a "dinosaur rock" band and they would probably have fallen out of favour with a lot of non-Queen or just casual fans.

yes they would survived cos if they released another album like anato, queen2 or sha it would surely be a hit cos those 3 albums were great musically and let's presume that new album from the 80's would have the quality of those seventies albums and it would surely be appreciated among rock audiences and became a hit like anato for instance, people will never get enough of quality stuff

mmm... maybe you should know that many Queen albums during the ´80s were hits anyway...!
People believe that the quality of the music depends on the complexity of the arrangements... the should listen to the small and original things that make music so wonderful...
I think that Queen´s mutations along the different periods of its career were necessary for the band to continue...

Queen would not have survived. Freddie would've still got fucked in the arse and still would have AIDS.
Get a haircut, hippie!
No they wouldnt have survived.They've said it themselves that as long as they were interested they would keep going in that musical direction.That is why they changed towards the mid to end of the seventies.
Plus if you look at it in another sense.Freddie wasnt entirely a Rock singer.Something upon which i admired him for.Neither was John a Rock Bassist.Ditto with that one.And Roger as a drummer.I'd say only Brian could(and i say only could)be considered a true out and out Rock musician from the band.
Freddie's influences came from Aretha Franklin,Liza Minnelli and the Flambouyant side of Jimi Hendrix.Not to mention Chopin and Paganini.John's was very definitely soul based.He never really said who he was influenced by but i think we can guess.Roger was a bit of Mitch Mitchell and John Henry Bonham and Buddy Miles on drums.Whereas Brian was definitely influenced by Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix amongst others.
Quite an ecclectic mix.Yet it worked.Ok they had a lot of arguements,but thats what happens when you have a band like this.If they do the same thing twice they get bored with it.Hence the change.
Plus i think what was happening at the time with the Punk scene that Queen foresaw a defining change in the British music scene so they decided to strip down and become more muscular.Out went all the elaborate vocals and some of the guitar orchestrations.Not to mention the costumes.In came the hard egde,the moustaches,the trainers and jeans.Later the yellow leather jackets and so on.But we loved them for that.They kinda returned to seventies form with Innuendo.I can hear Queen(the first album)in that album itself.Does anybody agree with me on that?
When i went to see Queen i used to see them as entertainers in the sense that Freddie was like a form of Frank Sinatra of the Rock and Roll kind(dare i say it).Brian,Roger and John were like Rock's regality(pardoning the pun)musically.Totally untouchable.

They tried to do a mix of The Game and A Night at the Opera. It's called The Works...

Why don't you get a life of yours to care about and let other people handle their own lives...?

Perhaps there is a twelve step program for those obsessed with Freddie getting it in the arse? I tried googling it for you, but, came up with nothing. I am sorry.
