Queen will also be playing Donnington with Jedward doing vocals. A Puppet Show is headlining.

I have a question
Does Paul Mcaartney get slated for using Beatles material when like Queen only half the band still exists?
Look at The Who and Led Zep they all lost members and they carried on after
Do people want Brian and Roger to just retire and us not have the pleasure of hearing Queens great music because if people complain enough about the choice of guest singer they might just think its not worth it and stop altogether and that would be a terrible shame

First of all - I am not "slating" Queen. Secondly : nobody ever blamed Brian or Roger when they played Queen material in their solo shows - on the contrary, it was always a highlight. That is exactly what Paul McCartney does: he plays Beatles and Wing material in his solo shows. Please compare the right scenarios. Led Zep did not really "carry on" after the death of Bonham, they split up. Later there was a "Page and Plant unleaded" tour and one-off appearances at Live Aid in 1985 and in the O2 arena in 2007 I believe.
Anyway - I am not saying that BriRog should quit, I only think that AL is a real bad choice. Also, I think something new would be nice, either a new album or the release of something we have been waiting for over 20 years now. I do not see why playing the Greatest Hits with just another singer is such a great novelty. The suggestion that Brian and Roger listen to the opinion of fans has been disproven so often, you can rest assured :-)

i had not read your comment above so my post wasnt about what you said but a question in general but your reply was good!
Just seems like sometimes there is too much negativity on here
Queen have some fantastic songs and we know Freddie was brilliant but i dont blame B & R for wanting to carry on they have my support (not that they need it)!

Why should they listen to a small group of negative fans? I'm glad they don't.

Because as "Queen plus" they've produced hardly a thing worth listening to since Fred died.

And they don't have to because as long as they have fans like Michael Allred accepting the old dressed up as new they can milk the recycled cash cow forever.

Most fans seem bothered that having AL will somehow hurt Queen's reputation... it won't! Queen has survived Pepsi, Daffy Duck, Five etc and the band is going as strong as ever. Their legacy with freddie will never die, so why get yourselves so upset by AL playing a gig(s) with Bri and Rog under Queen +

K, so don't listen to what they've produced thus far and ignore all future releases under that moniker. Problem solved.

So what is it then? "Most fans" or "a small segment"? Easier just to label people as narrow minded than accept that Queen+ collaborations have mostly been poor and ill-advised.

Speaking as a huge Bowie fan, I can guarantee you I don't dislike AL for his choice of makeup and costume. I don't even necessarily dislike him. I just think it's absolutely stupid for an American Idol contestant and pop singer who surfaced in the late 00's to be fronting a legendary rock band from the early 70's. The difference in talent and importance is staggering. Imagine if Jimmy Page and Robert Plant did a show with Lady Ga Ga, or Ringo and Paul did a show with Justin Bieber. It's a similar level of absurdity. [/QUOTE]
