I think Marcos Napier has said it best but,
again with basing your defence of Rodgers on a false premise.
No one has ever suggested Rodgers is a "nobody"
Even forgetting the "half of Queen is not Queen", three rock legends have produced an album well below their talents.
Nobody had a choice about giving Rodgers a chance, the band made that decision for us no matter what our personal beliefs about carrying on the name of Queen.
It flopped.

What, like believing "TCR" is an overlooked masterpiece?
You're one of the few living in fantasyland.

It flopped because of a clear lack of promotion. Everyone acknowledged that much.
Look at Metallica, look at AC/DC. They had shitloads of promotion. Queen? Nada.
Not even a single blip on HMV's in-store upcoming release posters!
Even HR had the galls to call upon the fans to join a volunteer street team promotion which, while I admit I took part in it - and had fun in doing so, it seems in afterthought a very lazy call on their part, as they obviously could not be arsed to spare $$ for advertising on their part, which is typical really. They'll gladly advertise their greatest hits CD's, but anything else FUCK IT.
QPL seriously needs to get their act together, and sack their 'Creative Board of Directors' whoever they may be. This includes Jim Beach. They seriously don't know how to market their releases properly anymore, let alone acknowledging what the fans really want.
Did we ask for a singles collection? NO.

It flopped because it wasn't worth investing money for promoting, short of enlisting volunteers. It was decidedly average, and most knew that the moment they heard it.
The band even toured behind it for cryin out loud, and the reports that "Queen" were releasing an album of new material with another vocalist made news around the world, obviously for the wrong reasons.
Funnily enough, older material by Queen on DVD still seems to top the charts internationally.
I wonder why?

How convenient is it then that you guys never pay attention to the positive aspects behind the collaboration, but focus on the negative in order to push fans away from the current Queen projects and essentially keep them to only buying the old Greatest Hits releases over and over then?
For one, you trolls never even quote sources behind your fantasy-laden wet dream rumours along the lines of "This is it. It's over", "QPR are splitting up" etc etc.
You go spreading your doctrinal bullshit like it's reality. And Brian clearly said on his Soapbox that they are NOT splitting up. Yet you guys once again clearly ignore that, and try to whack around the bush and twist *his* words around to your advantage in any case.
This is clearly showing how reliable you guys are as "Queen" fans, classic or not.
And this is also moreso illustrating the great divide that's pushing a lot more of the sensible people away from troll-infested boards like this.
Wake up and smell the coffee for fuck sakes.

Here's another fun FACT for you to get bitter and twisted over...
How come the week "TCR" was released in Australia it was outsold by Queen's Greatest Hits? Then sank into obscurity........
I mean, "TCR" would have been on the shelf beside it.

No comment, as I live in Canada, not Australia. I can only speak for the lack of promotion that happened here.
You'd have to ask our fellow mates from there.

And judging by your throwaway comments about me and other Queen/QPR fans being bitter and all, I think it only shows who the bitter one here really is (Certainly not me)
I'd suggest that trend would've been seen in other territories.
There was not much promotion for "TCR" downunder either to be fair. But there is no promotion for "Greatest Hits" either......
I guess the vast majority of the record buying public choose to worship at the "Church Of Freddie" instead of joining some small fanatical cult......
...drink the kool-aid. Please.

LOL!!
What do I have to be bitter about?
I doubted the wisdom of the collaboration from the start, and everything since has confirmed my fears. Sadly.
