The Beatles!!!  They did pretty well for themselves!

Queen - Freddie & John

Before we want to introduce the products about Michael Jordan Shoes, i think the
first thing to do for us is to introduce Michael Jordan to all the people who
like Air Jordan Shoes. After these 23 fans knows more about Michael Jordan, i
believe they will be more interested in everything about Michael Jordan, they
will be more loyal to Michael Jordan.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born February
17, 1963) is a former American professional basketball player, active
businessman, and majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats. His biography on the
National Basketball Association (NBA) website states, "By acclamation, Michael
Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time."[1] Jordan was one of the
most effectively marketed athletes of his generation and was instrumental in
popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.

'cept that it wasn't. the beatles wasn't a lame-ass pun. it was a respect to one of their biggest early influences....the crickets.....while also acknowledging that they were a "beat combo"

and as for Bri/Roger
...how about.....................sad old Queens

How about May/Taylor? Or May & Taylor? I don't think they should call themselves anything fancy, and I certainly don't think they should call themselves Queen. That name should have died when John departed 14 years ago.

" What damage? The whole Q+PR thing has sailed blissfully past most people without them ever knowing it was done, there's no "damage" done to Queen's legacy. And Cosmos Rocks was a relative commercial failure, but I can assure you if it had not have carried the name "Queen" on it, it would not have done even as well as it did, and the very lucrative tour would certainly not have raked in all the cash it did. Sticking the Queen name on it certainly hasn't damaged their wallets."

Your answer says it all.

The use of the Queen name should only be used with Deacon / May / Mercury / Taylor material (i.e. 1971 to 1991 + posthumous recordings).

The band have a golden legacy and until Brian and Roger took leave of their senses, the Queen name had always been publicly associated with the four member group.

If Cosmos Rocks had been given a different name, I doubt it would have sold much less because it predominantly appealed to hard core fans - but by issuing it under a different name, the reputation of "Queen" would have survived relatively unscathed.

I speak as a (largely disillusioned) fan who has the complete Queen catalogue, all solo CDs and saw the band + solo members live. I take no pleasure from this.

May and Taylor should hang their heads in shame.

They can call them anything they want. If they want to be called Queen, I have no problem with it. It's their band

'Roger the May Queen'  -heh heh yer frigger -a-hell !

==============================

Why?  His decision to leave doesn't seem like sufficient reason to arbitrarily strip the remaining members of the baby and brand they raised for 15 years.  They look like Queen, as far as possible considering a dead lead vocalist they sound like Queen, and they feel like Queen.  They're Queen, and I think the Queen+ monikers were exactly the right approach, even if I didn't always like what came after the +.

I remember this argument from 10 years ago. Yawn.
