dont have a problem with Roger's thoughts..
it may sound harsh to some..indignant to others..perhaps even cocky
but sometimes the truth hurts....
i saw Q +PR several times...except for a song or two i felt they should not have done... it was a fun show and i had a great time...
they hit here again I will go again...
btw the new Boston singer was and still is the lead singer and co-founder of the band Stryper

Queen were four equal members whenever we're talking about why Brian and Roger can carry on without Freddie, but they suddenly turn into more than just equal members when we're talking about how the two of them can continue as the entire Queen!
There is an obvious conflict which can't be explained with any logic.[/QUOTE]
And that's the whole argument in a nutshell. C-lebrity would probably fairly be in the bottom 5% of Queen music. It's not abysmal, but it's paint by numbers stuff that they could do in their sleep. To some people, it's awesome, because it's Queen. Queen good!!! If this band were named Microwave's Texas Chili with their debut single C-lebrity, we'd ignore them and talk about how cliched the lyrics are and uninspired musically it is. It's just part of the reason that this board is way less active than before, intelligent discussion and opposing POV's are not looked at favourably, it's turning into another QOL.

FUCKIN' A!
FUCKIN' A!
Yes QPR rocked tonight!!
proving once again that Roger and Brian are alive and able to make great music with Paul Rodgers....
....and to the dissenters who object to using the name Queen as in Queen + Paul Rodgers - do you also object to Queensryche, Queens of the Stone Age, Queen Latifa....????
getover it - it is a name that Brian and Roger have been a part of for more than half of their lives
QPR will rock the cosmos so you'd better hide underground listening to your 8 tracks and lps....or get out there and let them rock you

They didn't actually perform any of the music they'd made together. Are you sure the new music is any good?

No, as they're not claiming to be Queen.
I have a feeling you wouldn't like it either if they all (separately) went on tour and called themselves Queen.

...And they've been called (respectively) Brian May and Roger Taylor for their ENTIRE life. How come they aren't using those names on the tour?

There's no need to hide anywhere, as the new material will only be played in the homes of those obsessive Queen fans who will buy anything with the band's name on.
In addition to my old cds (you know what they are, don't you?) I can also listen to the radio safe in the knowledge that every radio station in the world (or at least in this country) would rather play any of the actual Queen hits instead of crap like "C-Lebrity".
They've had their chance to "rock", and they've released a pile of mud instead.

Really? Are you sure? I'm sure that Rodgers was still singing and Roger was crap as usual. People AKA Q+PR fans going crazy over this performance as if they've suddenly proved something... despite them not playing any better than last time or even playing any of their new material.

Really, is the point so complicated that it can't sink through your thick skull? If you don't like it, don't buy it / don't go to the show, but by making retarded comments like "Roger was crap as usual" you are throwing away what little credibility you had. Of course he's not crap; a guy doesn't suddenly forget 40 years of drumming experience, during which he was *ace*. Nor is Brian suddenly a mediocre guitarist. Nor is Rodgers suddenly a bad vocalist. He might be to your ears, but that would be solely because you are too stubborn to even consider the possibility that life might go on after your favorite singer died. The annoyance shown by you towards this musical project just goes to prove how little life you actually have.
Yep.

Now that the thread moved from discussing Roger's comment to the "Queen versus Queen + Paul Rodgers" discussion I want to add something:
There is actually no need to get hostile about the subject. I think as long time Queen fans we all prefer Queen over Queen plus Paul Rodgers but since Queen is not to be anymore we have to get over it and deal with what we can get. Personally, I enjoyed the 2005 very much and I am looking forward for the next tour. But I know fans who had an open mind but who actually hated it. It's a matter of taste and we all should respect that. If you don't like the set up with Paul Rodgers, that's okay and nobody should tell you that you live in the past or that you should not post on a Queen board, that's really ridiculous.
About the issue if Brian and Roger should use the name Queen - yes they should. They have every legal and moral right to use the name. I think the fans should not be bothered about the reputation or the legendary status of Queen, it's up to Brian and Roger to be bothered. All I care about is the unreleased material, I really want it.

Why did you even become a Queen-fan since you think that at least two of the members are such crap. You must actually have a hard time listening to any of the Queen-albums with all the skipping over songs that where written by Brian and Roger cause you know there are a lot of those.. ;)
I thought last nights performance was fabulous and proved that QPR can handle a stadium crowd at a shared bill. You have every right to think they are crap and say so but say it with respect instead of this attitude that we who like it only do so because well uncritically love everything with the name Queen on it and you are the only one who really knows what is good and not.

If I may answer this... :D
I thought two members of the band was all you needed to be a fan anyway. ;)

The only reason Roger has an attitude is because he's on the way out.
Just watch the 46664 gig. The man is on his last legs.
Time to call the meat wagon.
