Well, the time has come when my own personal career of a Queen fan of over 20 years has ended. I have never hidden the fact that Freddie was my favorite band member, though also the source of a lot of suffering prior and after he has left us. For those who might ask why "prior" - because I was born and grew up in the former Eastern block - under the communistic regime, when you NEVER KNEW IF you'd be able ever to hear The Works but at the same time you were as happy as a small child just because somebody somehow smuggled The Bravo Magazine, which said that they were recording it. And because you knew you would never be able to attend a concert as this is "retrograde" and your mam and dad would simply disappear if you'd do this even if you could.
Well, Freddie is gone now. Queen -too. There is Queen+Paul Rodgers now, which is something very different as a sound, stage presence and aesthetics. However for those ready to attack -"Yet, it's Queen" I'd just suggest them to rewind ANY Queen concert prior Freddie's death to READ that "Queen are: Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon" End of story. I don't want to argue. Queen fan? Not anymore. Freddie fan? Always, and by God I know how to be one because he keeps inspiring me after all this time (even without the necessary new material required to keep the business running). Something that the trio just failed to do.

Sorry...what?
Excuse me, but to coin a phrase...'get a life'
You don't have a 'career' as a fan, you simply are one...
It's a band, get over it.

Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.
IMO you are not much of a fan if you are willing to ditch them just because you don't like their latest project.

No kidding!
I think the Lady Sonnet is full of it. If you truly respected Queen and what they did, then instead of selling your crap for money that you'll just spend like the rest of it, you should give away your Queen collection to the Queenzone community... where it will be appreciated and not just bartered upon.
Please list your items and we will treat it as a first come first served basis. Limit of 2 items per member so no one gets too greedy. I would like to request your WWRY Toothbrush and your Greg Brooks book.
Thanks.
(Unless you just wanted to start your own "I hate what Paul is doing to Brian and Roger" thread.)

It is Queen.
One guy died, the other quit the band.
It's not as if Freddie were alive and forbidding the guys to carry on with the band without him. He's dead. The other cat quit the band, and now they have all the right to carry on the legacy the way they want - with Mickey Mouse or Paul Rodgers as a singer.

Hopefully we'll get through this tough time without you.
Drama Queen. It's only a record.
How about a career change New Kids on the Block have reformed

I did not know that people in the psyche ward were allowed to use the internet. Interesting.
I won't say much because you are a lady, but that was ridiculous
Lady Sonnet, you survived through the communist era, you managed to get hold of Queen records when you lived in the socialist state and when it was next to impossible to find them. You were a true Queen fan.
And now what has happened to you? Has freedom destroyed your love? Are you a natural-born gutter fighter for whom freedom means the end of a fighting career? The two guys continue singing Queen songs as well. And who else could do it better than they? Maybe you have some other candidates in view? Mika, for example, some people compare him to Queen...Or maybe you`d rather they kept silent forever. "Stay home, Brian and Roger, I don`t like live music, besides, I prefer old records..."
So, stay home yourself and enjoy the good old days. And we will move on with love for Queen, Freddie, and for the new Queen! Long Live Queen!!!
