I dont care who they influenced, this or that, all i care about how GOOD they are and they arent good. Just 1 of our compositions prove that they cant compare when it comes to actual musical talent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1d6ERo_-Ew

It's honestly funny that you think your band has any kind of a future in the music business, on any level, with the attitude you have towards bands other than Queen and your own, never mind The Beatles. If your attitude never changes, then on a human level, I truly do feel sorry for you because you are completely wasting your time.
If you do get lucky enough to play any kind of major gig or have a chance to get a record deal (both of which I severely doubt will happen), I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you open your mouth when asked anything about the outside musical world. I sincerely hope it will be recorded for posterity.

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.[/QUOTE]

Not a bad title I'd say..remember Brian is actually an alien who was deposited here to bring some great music back to the masses,hence the reference to the title and his interest in astronomy.I defy anyone to date photos of Brian,he looks EXACTLY the same now as in about 1980,so he doesn't age like mere mortals and will still be rocking away when we are all dead and gone...well maybe in another world...
I wonder ...
Maybe Brian overheard Roger talking to his gardener about Cosmos in his flower garden, which really is a great flower and it can also re-seed quite easily, and does well even in rocky soil. Brian has admitted to having a bit of hearing loss - I believe in his left ear.
Or ... maybe The Cosmos is the name of a song that Brian was working on, and the guitar solo was so good that Paul said, "Hey, man. The Cosmos Rocks." Then Brian's ears perked up. He knew that Paul was perfectly right.
Oh, well. I don't think it is such a terrible name after you get used to it. Let's wait and put it into some context. The picture looks pretty.

"Surely the name of the live album isn't Rock Montreal?"
"That cover must be a mock-up that Play.com made?"
"Say It's Not True can't be any indication of how the new album sounds like."
I have a news flash for anybody who hasn't been following around the Queen world this millennium:
For one reason or another their creative output has regressed to the level of a 16-year old Dutch bootlegger (no offence to the Dutch). The titles are cliched, the artwork is horrible, and the music is amateurish to say the least.
Prepare to be rocked indeed![/QUOTE]
Having been a Queen fan since the '70s, sadly this is exactly what I was going to post.
And YES, especially in Queen's legacy, album titles and covers ARE important. Queen was about the entire glossy, sophisticated package, not JUST the music. But even that's losing ground.
Other than some mis-steps like the Hot Space album and the "Radio Ga-Ga" song title, it seems Freddie was the one holding things together in terms of what image-wise (album names, covers, etc.) was considered "cool".

Dreadful title. Laughable, in fact.
We'll soon know how the public takes to a "Queen" album without Fred

I dont why they keep doing this, its really silly...to carry on with the Queen name. If they want to play music do it in the solo projects and stop fooling yourselves that this is Queen + something

I agree that the Cosmos Rocks is a HORRIBLE album title.... I mean are they even trying anymore?
It's all corporate branding... practically everything new Queen related has to have ROCK in the title somewhere to cash in on WWRY play and Rock Star and Rock Band.....
I bet the cover REALLY sucks too. Whoever is doing design for Queen these days is garbage.
I remember when "Return of the Champions" came out, within half a day there was a dozen posts here from people who put together covers 10 times better than the official release.

They are just delusional these days. They should really drop this Queen+ thing and have some respect for freddie, john and their amazing legacy.

What a boring thread.
What a boring bunch of fans.
No wonder they don't pay attention to this site. Don't you people realize it's 2008 and Freddie is not coming back. Isn't it easier to shut up and not buy the album?
There are plenty of us who WILL buy the album and realize that if Paul couldn't sing, he wouldn't have the successful legacy he has. But then, "Paul can't sing" fans are such pros at who can and can't sing, right??? Right.
Or maybe you guys could meet at Denny's on every other Thursday and discuss which direction they should steer their music careers and what they should call themselves.
Since obviously you haven't anything better to do, and have very little insight to offer... other than "They're ruining Freddie's legacy"!!! Again, it's 2008, he aint coming back.
And I think the Aids thing has more impact on his "legacy" then Paul Rodgers singing a few of his tunes.

Paul Rodgers can sing. Cosmos Rocks is a bloody awful title for an album and their covers have sucked big time since Freddie died.
They miss his creativity... that's all.
Brian and Roger can play with the best of them, but they run Queen like a corporation.

You're missing the point. A lot of us love that they're touring again and making new music with Paul (and I loved the live shows, even having seen the original 4-piece Queen). And personally I don't mind that they're calling themselves Queen + someone else. Yes, the Freddie vs. Paul thing is so 2004.
It's just that the new music so far is a little disappointing, and they seem to be taking a RIDICULOUSLY half-assed approach in everything marketing-wise.
A lot of us know they still have it in them, we just want to see the band done justice, and they can't do that while making DVD covers in Microsoft Paint.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Freddie "appeared" on a track or two on the new album. And I sure as Hell wouldn't complain!
