Despite your protests they call themselves Queen+PR and they don`t give a damn! So take it or leave it! Ok, leave it, good-bye then. And we`ll go on, following Freddie`s will: show must go on...

The ignorance and stupidity of people astounds me these days...... When did Brian, Roger, or Paul say it was supposed to be Queen? Anyone? Did either of them ever say that? In fact, all three of them have said it isn't Queen, isn't supposed to be Queen, and never will be Queen. The name Queen, in modern times, is simply for marketing purposes. You have to admit that Q+PR are very obscure these days. If they never used the name Queen, they would never sell any music! I don't blame them for that. Do you?
Weeeellll, you guys, i reaaallyy hate paul rodgers! I really really think that THAT ain't no queen! Honestly, it is real rock, but, the fack that there's Queen without Freddie pisses me off. Deax had aalll the right to leave queen, simply because he felt bad, and cause Bmay and Rog ran to find a new vocalist WITHOUT DEAX PERMISSION! And they needed it, he's in the f*cking, baaand, for Christ sake! I don't say for them not to have a band with that... man, but the name Queen, should be no longer used.
It's one half of Queen and that's what us young un's under the age of 30-40 have to deal with since science hasn't advanced enough to take us back to 1986 and even if so, we'd probably mess up the time continuum (insert fancy scientific time-travel related jargon her) or whatever it is... I believe Freddie would not have been able to make Queen what it was without Brian May's distinctive guitar sound and Roger May's fantastic drumming, personality and vocal sound. They are brilliant musicians in their own right, It's just I can't imagine anyone in my lifetime (or maybe we'll be lucky) can match the brilliance that was Mercury. It annoys me that they never got a lead singer with a versatility to sing the least rockier numbers. We'll just never have Rodgers singing 'Killer Queen' or 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy', will we? Or at least not well. But no, standing by the barrier watching May rock out and Taylor sing 'I'm in love with my car' was a near euphoric experience for my 20 year old self. One can only imagine what it felt like to be in the same auditorium as Mercury. So yeah, back to the point - One half of Queen - yes. But Paul Rodgers and a half of Queen is never going to be catchy. Anyhoo, plenty of bands continue without members...Pink Floyd... The Who, if I'm right...I'm sure there's many more.

Brian and Roger did have John Deacon's permission actually. He wrote them a letter stating that he approved of anything they planned to do in the future. I believe that was in 2002 (?) after the WWRY Musical Opened. SECONDLY, don't use so many commas and breaks in the paragraph. And pleeeeaaase don't extend the amount of letters in a word to emphasize its importance. THIRDLY, it's not Queen. When did Brian and Roger say it was Queen? Just because the band is named that? Don't judge a book by it's cover. I know it's a cliche, but don't disregard it. The results of the event is what matters. For example, when I first heard of To Kill A Mockingbird, I thought it was about a hitman XD! Once I read it, though, it turned out to be a very unique and enticing novel.

You know what...I actually agree with you on this. Paul Rodgers is no Farrokh Bulsara, but I do believe he has some great musical potential and talent. And this was just what I was waiting to hear: "I believe Freddie would not have been able to make Queen what it was without Brian May's distinctive guitar sound and Roger Taylor's fantastic drumming, personality and vocal sound." Brilliantly put! As many people suggest, Freddie did not put together Queen. He wasn't the ringleader - he wasn't the dictator - he wasn't the monarch. Freddie was 1/4 of Queen, and it would never be the same without all four members. Brian May has a unique guitar sound, John Deacon had some pretty obscure but equally talented bass riffs (Son And Daughter for instance. That riff was all bass!), Roger Tayor is one of the most powerful drummers I have ever seen, and Freddie Mercury was a genius with a piano and could control his vocal chords like no other human that ever lived. All four of them are responsible for hit singles as well! JD: I Want To Break Free. BM: We Will Rock You. FM: Bohemian Rhapsody. RT: Radio Ga Ga. Without Freddie and John, it's not Queen. But back to everything that I've been saying recently, it's not supposed to be Queen.

Brian and Roger do have the right the use the name Queen, legally, commercially or "morally" so to speak. But did it work? No. Well, sort of. May, Taylor and Rodgers - or any variation - would have been worse and they could have been totally ignored, and the royal tag made them sell a few (a lot) more copies than they deserved. They could have even called themselves The Beatles that it wouldn't make it better. This is far from just having the rights to use the name.

Well, I think Freddie was the soul of Queen, the perfect image and voice for Queen, the unique face and personality that means Queen...His charism and appeal are unforgetable and I'm very disapointed with Brian and Roger behaviours. That's not the Queen I like. It hurts me to see them use this name. Without Freddie, the band doesn't exist anymore .
Fuck Pual rogers
Freddy Mercurie 4 evah!

I've been thinking of how to settle this debate once and for all.
I'll open a PayPal account and you guys send me money and your view on this problem. Whichever side sends me the most money by next New Year officially wins the argument.
I'll keep you posted about the account details. Start smashin' those piggy banks.

Your life must be very empty if you get upset over such a thing as a band producing music you don't agree with. Boohoo fucking hoo.

That's not an impartial method. After all, if you go through audience at a QPR concert you'd see several orders of magnitude more QPR supporters than there are detractors on this board. This would mean QPR is a hit with fans - and you don't want that, do you?
The conclusion is, MY way is the ONLY way to settle this argument. And since you're so sexy, I'm giving you a one-time 10% discount - meaning first sum of money you send me counts as 10% more towards the vote! - if you send by Friday. I know, I'm a sucker.

I'm finding this quite entertaining! It's funny how angry some people are getting.
There was a major, very significant element of Queen on stage in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. Nobody is pretending it's the same as when Freddie and John were involved. I was still mesmerised by Brian's guitar playing though, which was one of the things I liked about Queen in the first place. I love the fact that they've gone back on tour, whatever they're calling themselves.

ThomasQuinn, what you up to, mate? If people like that realize what you're saying, I'll lose their business!
