cosmos rocks not enough promotion

was the ,cosmos rocks,promoted enough?.
what did we have,one single(cleb),not enough.
maybe if they promoted  songs more it would have appealed to a wider audiance.
there was a time when an album was released there would be 2 or 3 singles from it.
i feel that if the album had more tv coverage it would have been better.
what did we get.all murray(like him but needed more exposure).
the ocasional mention on radio(radio 2 album of the week).
as a group,band,project.it could have been projected to the public more.
a band such as queen or queen+paul could have had more exposure on national tv and radio.
emi and q,productions did not do enough to advertise and push this album to the general public.
i loved the album from a queen fan point of view,and feel if they had publicised it more that queen+paul could have gone on to bigger things.
ok the tour was a sell out(i think),but more was needed to promote the album songs.
hell ,the cosmos rocks , warboys ,and still burnin,were classic album songs that needed single releases.
in a time of uk record(or cd)sales,reclining.what would be a better time for emi to say,,,,,,
ok here it is,from one of  the biggest band ever to come from the uk,queen and the legend that is paul rodgers..
that would have been easy for them to say........
but??????????
a wee bit of advertising,a single song,and a tour that was at best advertised a very few times on tv or raadio,.
cmon emi.queen productions.and who ever was involved in this,...you should have pulled your f.....g finger out and went for  glory.
you treated some rock legends very bad with shit advertising,and even bigger shity releases..
good job all is a queen fan or we would never have had screen time.....
from a personal point of view,fantastic album,and as a first kids(10 and 16)concert spectacular.
but still,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,not enough to promote the album.
maybe in london the local radio played more songs(in galashiels its local radio),maybe not.
if you imagine the recent ,take that forthcoming tour.sold out in hours.
1 million tickets............now some will say if it was fred then it would be the same,but.
take that had a f.....g lot of adverts,on tv radio,
so why o why did we not get the same for queen+.
where i live(the darkest regions of scotland where men are men and sheep are scared),i heard 1,yes 1 advert for the ,concert/ album.
now even in the darkest places,you need to advertise something that will sell big time.......
for christ sake i heard more adverts for the local car boot sale than queen+paul......
so please emi or queen productions,or whoever makes the adverts......
move with the times.........advertise more,release more singles from future albums,and make sure you advertise in more remote regions..........
life wont start and finish in london..

Right!

As someone said before, the album was a bucket of piss and making people buy would just create a lot of pissed consumers if they waste their money on it.

Saw Q+PR on the "Return Of The Champions" tour and that was great.

"Cosmos" sucks.  It should have been named Paul Rodgers + Special Guests Brian May and Roger Taylor.
It ended up being a Paul Rodger's solo cd.

I THINK THE COSMOS ROCKS IT S A GOOD ALBUM WITH GOOD MUSIC.

NOT A SUPER-ALBUM LIKE INNUENDO OR ANATO, BUT LET S CONSIDER GUYS FOR A MOMENT ONE THING.

WE COMPLAIN, I COMPLAIN ABOUT QUEEN PRODUCTION, BOX SET ETC..ETC...

I WANT U ARE HONEST NOW...

WHO THOUGHT THAT AFTER FRED DIED BRIAN AND ROGER WILL TOUR AGAIN AS QUEEN??????

NO ONE!

IT WAS GREAT AND LOT OF HAPPINESS TO SEE THEM!FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT NEVER SAW QUEEN LIVE WAS MIND-BLOWING!



SOMETIMES WE ARE TOO CRITICAL!

Have read many similar comments since TCR release and I will never agree to that.

"Call Me": written by Paul and it´s maybe the more Queen-sounding track in the album.

Cosmos Rockin´, Small, We Believe, C-lebrity, SINT, Some Things That Glitter, Surf´s Up .... not many Free/Bad Co or Paul´s solo tracks sounding like those, I think.

Oh yes, ok, there´s "Voodoo" ..... but there was also "My Baby Does Me" in The Miracle.

Let's do a little roleplay.  You're the guy with the responsibility to put together some kind of promotional budget for this album.  You've heard the album.  You can spend a shitload of money promoting a stale piece of work that will never be a massive success, or you can just let it coast along and get sales from old Queen fans (the only people who would've bought the thing anyway).

I know what I'd have done!

Keeping in mind that I'm not even someone who hates the album - I think it had some nice moments.  But come on.  Be real.  This is not an album that would've ever set the world on fire.  The songs are not ones that will be discussed in 40 years.

Am I the only one here who loves that album ?

No, Peter, you´re not alone :)

I still play it and enjoy every listening.

Thanks :-)

I enjoy it too. Haven't heard it in a while but I may do it later today.

Also, anybody thinking this sounds like a Paul Rodgers album has clearly never heard a Paul Rodgers album (or Free or Bad Co. for that matter).

Songs like Still Burnin', Call me and C-lebrity (even Cosmos Rockin') have "Queen" written all over them. It's just that they will never be considered Queen because Freddie never sang them.

Performance-wise, I think Brian sounds a bit sloppy in a few tracks but Roger and Paul shine on every song.

I think a lot of Queen fans revealed themselves to be "Freddie fans" after TCR was released.

It may not be an excellent record, but it is still a very good record.  There are 4 or 5 very strong tracks on the album.

It was doomed to fail with the general public, but I honestly expected a lot more from Queen fans, as I thought they'd appreciate the fact that Brian and Roger were still creating new music, and decided not to work with another Freddie wannabe when it was finally time to make a new Queen record.  It's what they had wanted for 15 years, and as always, some people can never be pleased and will find something to complain about.

Most Queen fans have chosen to create a box for what Queen music should be, and as a result they set themselves up for disappointment on this one.  If fans can't get past the fact that the singer didn't sound like Freddie Mercury and that there wasn't another Innuendo in the bag, then it's their own fault as they're missing out on a lot of great, fresh-sounding music made by three legends.

^^ Paul Who??

Kidding aside.. I never liked it.. it has a few moments. Sound is great, but songs are weak.

But I will take it with me in the car 2morrow and give it ago again:)
