When Queen + Paul Rodgers first appeared, I was ecstatic. Finally, my favorite band (minus two important characters) was touring. I saw Q+PR live and I loved it. It was the thrill of a lifetime. When album rumors started circulating, I was a bit excited over that possibility, too.
Ok, so, I've read on several credible websites that the name of the album shall be The Cosmos Rocks. What a terrible fucking album title. Brian May clearly came up with that one. As if rambling on and on about outer space on his website's soapbox isn't enough. Whatever. Brian's interests are his interests and I respect that, but to give an album such a silly name is just outrageous. And by the way, C-lebrity!? Awful song title. Just awful.
I am quickly losing interest in Q+PR and regaining my interest in Queen, with Freddie Mercury.

I dont think many Queen fans take this album seriously. Queen died when freddie died, this is something else, its not Queen.
I'm still not convinced that that will be the name of the new album. Terrible if it is though...
The cosmos rocks what hell the does it even mean
and i agree Queen died when Freddie died in 1991
yes i can admit it was nice when queen done the tribite show for Freddie
but now they should just give up or change their name from queen cause its not queen with freddie or john.

What the fuck are you on about. It's no worse than the Miracle or Hot Space. Who gives a shit what it's called. For all those fans still bitching 'oh it's not Queen without freddie' shut up you snobs. We know it's not the original line up but neither was Zeppelin last December, The Who are just Daltrey and Townsend now, Thin Lizzy do not have Phil Lynott and they recently toured. Get over it, don't be such snobs plenty of bands still have much to offer even if they no longer have their classic line ups, Queen in 2008 are not he same but why shouldn't half the original band still play the music, what is the alternative, tribute bands!
What I'm on about is the fact that The Cosmos Rocks is a horrible fucking album title, if it is in fact the title they shall use. I am in no way joining the "Queen died with Freddie" camp. I felt that live and on stage, Q+PR was one hell of a rocking powerhouse. Absolutely loved them. Still do. I'm just hoping that what is left of Queen has enough sense not to name the first album in nearly 20 years The Cosmos Rock.

Exactly, all they are doing now is ruining the incredible legacy as the greatest band on earth EVER.

you seem to be stupid enough to not understand that Freddie was the heart of Queen and the heart has stopped.

Great post. But don't even bother trying to reason with "Treasure Moment" or his two friends here. He's a broken record, brick wall, and a(n often robotic) closed mind all in one. Look... watch what will happen when he replies:

Says who? You? The future can't change the past, so nothing will happen to your precious "legacy" that seems to validate your entire experience. As for your "greatest band" claim, even Queen themselves (and just about every other rational person in the world) accepts that if there is one group of entertainers who hold the torch for all others in their field to follow, it's The Beatles.

Brian May is Queen.
He can do whatever he wants with the band he created 40 years ago... the name... is just that... a name... and Brian worked harder for Queen that any other member... and still does.
The name of the album? it´s just a name... like someone else said: what about "the miracle", "hot space"... even "the game".... or the worst of all "Mr Bad Guy" hahaha..
And what about the song title? When "Bohemian Rhapsody" saw the light most people would think: WTF????...
Get away tossers...

BTW.. you´ll be the first to buy it xD
I have to agree with mr. masterstroke, what he hell does it matter what the name is? Did Queen care about the label, cathegory? NO. It's the contents that are important. And I doubt any of us should be disappointed with it in case you leave freddie where he belongs and let the music LIVE. Hearts and ears.
Also you keep forgetting one simple thing while discussing the greatest band ever topic - every band that has an army of fans as its support IS the greatest band ever! At least for those fans. And it's normal. Not the two perceptions of the world are the same. Same is in music. So, for TReasuremoment they are the greatest, and if he wants to believe that at least he knows what he wants to believe in. Comparing and charting doesn't lead anywhere coz no one has the right to be the judge...

That was a tantrum. You're way overreacting to a title that isn't the album title. Officially the album is untitled. So relax. Save your tantrum for when there's something to legitimately bitch about.
And I'm sure "Radio Ga Ga" didn't sound like a super-terrific song title either. Wait til you hear it before you decry its quality.

"Go and fuck yourself!" to you from all those fans who're still bitching 'oh it's not Queen without freddie'. And then go and listen to your fucking new version of Thin Lizzy.
I like QZ for such arguments like "shut up", "fuck off", "get over it", "you moron" etc. it brings some stability in our discussions, some kind of firmness that you're right...
