Why Brian and Roger are looking like "Rip off" to fans?

Since Freddie died they really did what Freddie predict ,remember when he says "Im just a musical prostitute"..
Its hard to admit but itseems that they are thirsty of money,then some Vodka Killer Queen etc,I mean what is next?

They've got more than enough money.

you can disapprove all you like - and i do about almost all of the post 1991 stuff. But, consider this:

If you had a goose that somehow still produced golden eggs 23 years after its death, would YOU refuse such an easy living? No. you wouldn't.

Freddie was the one who used to keep May & Taylor in line and as you can now see
anything goes in the Queen camp!
They used to be a classy elusive group but not anymore and Brian has his fingers in all sorts these days.

With Freddie they were creative musicians, without him they lost their charm only Roger still rock from time to time.

"Charm" is good word to describe the four guys yeah.
Brian has done some silly things though like working with " Dappy" and then there was "Wyclef Jean" and "Five"
He has done some good work with "Judi Tzuke" and "Jimmy Necco"

To demonize Bri and Rog for approving of selling products with the Queen name on it is ridiculous. If you look around in virtually every record store in the civilized world, there are AC/DC, Zeppelin, Beatles, Doors, Floyd and Bob Marley mugs, plates, wallets, buttons and patches. Marshall even has a half-size refrigerator that looks like a amp head and cabinet.

It's 2014. We're in the age of people senselessly spending money on novelty items they don't need. Why not cash in, which also carries the far more important byproduct of keeping your band/company's name in public consciousness ?

Queen products in record stores are very hard to find but artists like AC/DC, Zeppelin, Doors, Beatles, Floyd etc are ten a penny and easily found.
Very strange as Queen are more popular than all those groups.

To be fair I think they are just bad judges sometimes ! The Dappy and Five etc things were all about bringing Queen's music to a younger audience, and guess what, for the most part its worked, and is still working with Glambert ! For us purists we have Rainbow & Let me in your heart again. So far as collaborations go since Queen began there have been some good ones, and some awful ones ! Nothing changes.

Yes I would!

andyb1968: yes i agree and what i tend to do is just buy the things that a purest Queen fan would go for i.e The rainbow dvd
and anything on freddie i think is a good product.

The Real Wizard said it right. No one's ripping off a fan. They're products. The CDs have tracklistings. You know what you're buying.

If you buy GH1, GH2, GH3, The Platinum Collection, The Very Best Of Queen, Absolute Queen, GH We Will Rock You Ed, Deep Track 1, 2 and 3, and now Queen Forever... when you already have all the albums... and then you complain Queen is ripping you off... you're the idiot. And if you're complaining Queen is ripping you off because they added 3 new tracks to Queen Forever... so you have to buy the whole album to get it... when you know it's available on iTunes separately... again... you're not being forced to pay for anything.

We're in a buyer's market... no one's ripping any one off. People need to filter their needs and wants appropriately.

yes your right you have to sift the crop and buy what tosses your salad so to speak lol
i will be only buying "Let me in your heart again" from Itunes unless Queen have reworked any classic tracks on the new album.

Let's face it, Brian May and Roger Taylor are evil. They are selling CDs and tickets to music shows, what a monsters!. They should earn their money selling weapons or preying in human weakness like decent citizens do.

And to who say they don't do anything cretive since 1991, listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-SsFfz9cE8

It was released last year, i didn't know it (my fault), They can do incredible collaborations like this and nothing happens, they use another fella to sing and is the end of the world.

not on a world level they're not. I've just come back from a holiday in Boston & New England, and queen definitely fall down the pecking order there behind; Beatles, ACDC, Zep, , Michael jackson, Elvis, Madonna Floyd and Mariah Carey and several others.
Coincidentally, before you say America is bollox, the USA market is FOUR times that of the UK and the USA pecking order perfectly reflects worldwide sales with Queen coming in just below all of the above with the addition Elton John & Celine Dionne - Queen are 12th in the worldwide sales list
So it's easy to see why Queen is a slightly less marketable brand form a merchandise point of view.
