Nice five-page article/interview on the eve of the new tour.
definitely worth a read. some notable quotes: (awaiting a slagging here from Y-K-W.
[b] Roger : [/b][i]I understand people who say: "there is no queen without Freddie, Just leave it be", because that's what we felt following his death. All three of us said: "Right that's the end of the band" But the band just didn't seem to die. [/i]
[b] Roger:[/b] [i]If we have the material, then I wouldn't go into making a record with any other singer than Adam.[/i]
[b] Brian:[/b] [i]It's a queen show as much as it ever was. I don't think Freddie would mind me saying that [/i]
[b] Adam:[/b] [i]I'm not replacing Freddie. I'm trying to keep the memory alive. and remind people how amazing he was, without imitating him.[/i]
Surely, now the nay-sayers can finally see their point? Although i somehow doubt it. Anyone who can't get the mag - ie non-UK - want pdfs? let me know.

"All three of us said: "Right that's the end of the band" But the income slowed right down...

Keep telling yourself that, Bri. Apparently Freddie wouldn't mind Brian saying anything.

Sounds like an interesting interview... Somehow I prefer the Roger interviews, he doesnt try to be polite all the time like Brian.
Roger may not give very deep, analytical answers like Brian, but his answers seems to be really honest!
Oh yes, a PDF would be amazing!
=D

Perhaps not analytical, but Roger's plenty capable of depth. His interviews in the 70's and 80's show him to be very intelligent, thoughtful, and in tune with the world around him.

^^^ True. Agree with both posts above.

Care to substantiate that with facts, or are you just on yet another hate mission?

Roger can give less extensive answers, but is an smart, and cinical sometimes, guy.
Mick Rock told that the difference between Queen and other bands from the 70's wasthat Queen were very articulated and smart. Is obvious....They have studies, interests, etc...

To those asking for a PDF - well, I don't have one but, AFAIK, this is the same article that was partially discussed in this thread: [url=http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1412163/roger-taylor-about-queen-forever-.aspx]http://www.queenzone.com/forums/1412163/roger-taylor-about-queen-forever-.aspx[/url]
There are legible scans (individual hi-res images of each page of the article) here: [url=https://imgur.com/a/hFBE6#9]https://imgur.com/a/hFBE6#9[/url]
If you register at the website I believe you can still read the full text without payment: [url=https://www.teamrock.com/features/2014-12-20/queen-adam-lambert-by-royal-appointment ]https://www.teamrock.com/features/2014-12-20/queen-adam-lambert-by-royal-appointment [/url]
Perhaps someone could make a PDF from one of those links.

Well they are hardly going to say they are in it for the money are they? They are though... bit greedy like. Its funny how Freddie referred to himself as a musical prostitute and heres Roger and Brian prancing around for the world to see under a giant red light every single day.
Sad really.

^^^^ And you're basing that on what then? What leads you to believe, as you infer, that Brian and Roger don't enjoy playing with Adam and vice versa?

Dude - you have the burden of proof.
It's a classic logical fallacy to attempt to use your thesis as proof for the thesis you haven't yet proven. It's like when people say "God exists until you prove he doesn't." You've made your statement unfalsifiable.
In other words - prove it, or don't say it to begin with as it doesn't contribute anything of substance to the discussion.
