Hmmm....why don't May and Taylor just do something together rather than get people like Rogers and Lambert in? It'd make more sense to me and people would still want to see them. Sure Adam Lambert can sing but them together touring just makes me cringe!

This is it. Paul Rodgers was kind of legitimate because Queen and Bad Company etc. are both from 60/70's and all QPR members are about the same age. Besides, Paul Rodgers is/was a real legend himself. It didn't work on every live song and the album was not that great, but they did a proper job live.
Adam Lambert, i just can't see it. Why do they want to join with this kids idol. It just doesn't match and if they do, we'll that's it for me then. No more Queen + concerts for me please. It's a sell-out and I rather see them team up with Rodgers again and do a 'classic rock' tour with (70's)Queen and PR songs plus some great other classic rock songs (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC etc.).

The majority only appreciate Q+PR now that this alternative has been presented...

I absolutely agree. I would go to see Brian and Roger performing together - just the 2 of them. No back-up singers, no other musicians, no nothing. Just the 2 old 'Queens' having a fun time!

They'd need a bass player at least... maybe a keyboardist and second guitar.
I personally think they should give up the arena/stadium thing and do a tour of theatre gigs, just as themselves - "Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen." They won't make nearly as much money, but they'll get the fulfillment of playing the more obscure material for 2,000 people a night.
It's silly for anyone to suggest they should retire. They can play if they want to, but without Mercury they need to take a humble step back. The Paul Rodgers thing was great, and they can always do pop-related collaborations to keep themselves in the next generation's consciousness, but I think a tour of smaller venues for their older fans would be very appropriate.

As well as denying the rumour on Twitter, Lambert (who is dating a Finnish BigBrother winner...) confirmed to a Finnish tabloid paper that there is no deal with Queen. Plus, the guy's got a new album to promote.
Sorry, if some folks already got around to burning their Queen collection.

I wholeheartedly agree that, crazy as it seems, Queen would get more popular if they actually thought about music instead of sales. Look how squirrelly people around here were while awaiting the Long Away stems. Look how much joy people got from Taylor Hawkins coaxing Brian and Roger onstage to perform Long Away. The comments were fantastic. There are tons of gems like Long Away in the catalogue that they could handle. The world has heard WWRY and TYMD more than enough. Get out, do a small venue tour and I bet the sales (and critical praise which would drive up sales) would be as great or greater than anything they do that is hits driven.
